Xiang Qiaoqian's face froze, and she angrily yelled at Director Yuan, "So you've already told everyone about this. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You pretend to be all considerate of me in front of me, but behind my back you don't even give me the slightest bit of face."
Director Yuan said sternly, "Xiao Xiang, whether in the past or now, I have never wronged you. It's you, on the other hand, who has been saying a lot of bad things about me in the factory since I divorced your uncle. And you've been saying all sorts of bad things about everyone else in the factory who's divorced, right?"
I've been busy with other things lately, so I haven't spoken to you. However, it seems you still haven't reflected on the IPO incident, so I've taken the blame for nothing.
I've always felt that you're still young, and you all are too young to waste your time on things like this. Talking about people behind their backs is nothing. If you have the ability, go and carve out a future for yourself and work for the welfare of everyone. Don't always open your mouth and talk about this and that. Isn't that just wasting your time?
Old Lady Xia also said at this time: "Yes, if I could go back to your age, I would definitely seize every opportunity to study hard and make progress, but...it's not too late for me now."
She held up the book in her hand. She had borrowed it from the reading room during her lunch break. She had become a regular visitor to the reading room recently.
Several female comrades blushed and hurriedly fled after mumbling apologies. Only Xiang Qiaoqian stared at them viciously. Just as Old Lady Xia was about to curse, she said, "It's not certain whether Comrade Xia can become the director of the Women's Department. Director Yuan, you don't have to be so eager to please now, right?"
After saying that, without waiting for Director Yuan to answer, he pushed Old Lady Xia away and went out.
Old Mrs. Xia's book fell to the ground. She sighed, picked up the book and patted it, "Your ex-niece..."
Director Yuan continued, "She's arrogant and likes to play tricks. Like my ex-husband, she won't listen to kind words. She's clever, though, and knows how to use tricks to win people over. She just refuses to use her intelligence for the right reasons."
Old Mrs. Xia: "Hey, just like my second son."
The two of them immediately found common ground and comforted each other on the way back to the office.
The election voting meeting soon arrived. Old Mrs. Xia put on the new clothes she had bought for the day, combed her hair meticulously, and looked very energetic. "Sister, just wait and see, I will definitely win the position of Women's Director in one fell swoop!"
Xia Yu'e started clapping, "I've known since I was little that my sister is the most capable person!"
Old Mrs. Xia straightened her chest and took several deep breaths before going out.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jiang Wenhua standing outside her house, looking straight in the direction of her home with hesitant eyes, as if he was struggling with something.
Thinking about what Jiang Wenhua had said before that he would not help her, although Mrs. Xia felt a little disappointed, she did not mean to force him to help. However, she did not expect that he was unwilling to say a few words to her recently.
Seeing Jiang Wenhua like this, Old Lady Xia thought to herself that she was about to become the director of the Women's Department and shouldn't be so petty, so she took the initiative to greet him, "Xiao Jiang, would you like to work together?"
Jiang Wenhua seemed to have finally made up his mind. He strode towards Old Lady Xia and said, "Old Xia, you are confused."
Old Lady Xia: "...What nonsense are you talking about? On such a big day today, you have to be the first one to offend me?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Your youngest son is so good at getting information, why don't you ask him to help you find out? Do you know that they are planning to expose your shortcomings at today's meeting, and they have already united many people to prevent you from becoming the director of the Women's Affairs Office?"
Old Lady Xia: "What do you mean? Why are you teaming up to deal with me?"
Jiang Wenhua: "Are you really unaware or are you pretending not to know? Our factory is divided into three factions. One is the factory director's side, and he supports you. One is the deputy factory director's side, and he plans to nominate one of his own. He originally planned to nominate a relative, but that person failed to live up to the expectations and was hospitalized. In the end, Xiang Qiaoqian recommended herself to his side. The other faction is the factory union, and they recommended one of their own.
Among them, the ones who are trying to stir up trouble are the factory union and the deputy director. They have collected a lot of information about your past deeds. If they are exposed, many people will switch sides with them. What chance do you have of winning?
Jiang Wenhua has been struggling with whether to help these days. He feels that if Old Lady Xia really becomes the director of women's affairs, there will definitely be a major change in their factory, and it will inevitably affect the interests of their male comrades, so he doesn't want to help.
But recently, Xiao Fang has ignored him.
The main reason is that he and Xiao Fang have different opinions. He thinks that as long as he lives a good life, he doesn't need to care about other people's opinions or other people. But Xiao Fang thinks that if she has the spare energy, she still wants to help other female comrades who are also burdened by their families.
The two argued many times. The last time, Jiang Wenhua said angrily that she couldn't break away from her family and had to rely on others, but she actually wanted to help others, which was ridiculous. Isn't this a fantasy?
Xiao Fang bit her lip and stared at him stubbornly. She explained a lot, including her recent changes in mentality and how she was slowly improving in the process of helping others. However, Jiang Wenhua kept looking at her with the same eyes. Not only did he think she was still the same person, he also selfishly believed that all her efforts were in vain.
So, Xiao Fang seemed very disappointed in him and said directly that she didn't want to be a partner anymore.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wenhua felt angry.
A quarrel wouldn't lead to a breakup, right? Before he could find someone, problems arose between his sister and his mother. His mother cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself, saying he was unfilial and that she was driving her to death. His sister was even beaten by her in-laws because she stopped doing any housework.
If he hadn't passed by their house, his sister might not have said it herself.
At that moment, Jiang Wenhua suddenly realized that if the whole atmosphere remained the same, his mother and sister would never change. Just like Xiao Fang said, if no one tried to change, the pain would always exist.
Although Lao Xia's becoming the director of the Women's Department has an impact on male comrades, it will not affect Jiang Wenhua. He is a man who pursues fairness, so helping Lao Xia is equivalent to helping his mother and sister, and is equivalent to reconciling with Xiao Fang.
What does the life and death of other gay men have to do with Jiang Wenhua? They have all enjoyed the benefits for so many years, it's time to be fairer to lesbians.
Jiang Wenhua thought about it all night and finally persuaded himself, which led to the current scene.
Old Lady Xia chuckled. "Xiao Jiang, you still care about me. Thank you. I'm not completely unprepared. You also said that the factory director supports me. I'm also familiar with the undercurrents between the factory director and the deputy director. If they make trouble for me, I won't sit idly by and wait for death."
