Song Lan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "What can I do if there's no solid evidence to prove what she did to me?" The reason she told Wang Qiuping the truth was that Song Lan had thought it through clearly; she needed someone who could speak up for her.
reason?
She doesn't care about rumors, but she doesn't want to be deliberately smeared, and she doesn't want those unfounded rumors to affect her family's life.
Therefore, if Wang Qiuping is told the truth, given her character and temperament, she will surely speak up for justice if she hears any more rumors about her.
Is your manager in?
Zheng Laidi stood at the door of the security office. She saw more than a dozen grown men looking at her, and she felt a little scared, but she still opened her mouth and asked a question.
"Comrade, is there something you need?"
Fang Jianmin stood up from his chair, bypassing Wei Shengli and the others, and stopped three steps away from Zheng Laidi. Upon hearing this, Zheng Laidi, to bolster her courage, straightened her back like a rooster, raised her chin, and asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Fang, and I am the deputy head of the security section. Please feel free to speak if you need anything."
Without needing to guess, Fang Jianmin knew that Zheng Laidi was a family member of a factory worker. He just didn't know why she had come to the security department. He looked serious and waited for Zheng Laidi to speak.
"Are you the deputy head of the security department?"
Zheng Laidi confirmed this.
"That's right."
Fang Jianmin nodded.
"Do you know that there's a slut in your security department? I'm here to report her. A slut like her doesn't deserve to work in the security department at all. As the leader, you should fire her right now and have my daughter Siya replace her!"
As she spoke, Zheng Laidi saw Song Lan and immediately ran towards her, shoving aside Wei Shengli, Wang Pujun, and the others along the way. When she reached Song Lan, she looked surprised and said, "You wouldn't happen to be Song Lan, the slut I was talking about, would you?"
Before Song Lan could speak, she continued, "How could I not have thought of that? Your family is from the capital, and there are only two women in the security department right now..."
"Smack!"
A sharp crack interrupted Zheng Laidi's words. Song Lan's eyes were cold and sharp. She casually slapped her again, and then said in a cold tone, devoid of any warmth: "You have no right to speak without doing your research. I slapped you twice to tell you that I can sue you for defamation based on what you just said!"
Zheng Laidi was stunned by the blow. When she came to her senses, she immediately let out a howl and then pounced on Song Lan.
Unexpectedly, Song Lan easily subdued the other party.
She pinned the other person's hands behind their back, pressed them against the desk next to her, and said coldly, "You think you can make me lose my job based on a few rumors you've heard, and then have your daughter take my place? Where do you get your confidence?"
"Let me go! You slut, let me go! I've heard that you were violated by two hooligans in Beijing. A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to work in a factory."
Also, I'm definitely telling my husband about those two slaps you gave me. He's a big shot at the factory, and when he finds out you hit me, he'll make sure you pay!
The pain on her face was burning. Zheng Laidi turned her head and glared at Song Lan, wishing she could devour her on the spot.
"You asked for it if I hit you. If you hadn't been so foul-mouthed, would I have bothered to lay a hand on you?"
Song Lan sneered, released Zheng Laidi, and said, "No matter who you heard it from, I can tell you that what you said is not true. To put it another way, even if what you said is true, then I want to ask, as the victim, what did I do wrong? Why can't I work in the factory?"
Does that mean that in your view, the victim is guilty, while the perpetrator is innocent and worthy of praise? If everyone thought like you, what justice would there be in this world?
Besides, I am completely innocent, yet you slander my reputation based on a few rumors you've heard. Legally speaking, this is a crime. If I make just one phone call to the police station, you will definitely be taken away by the officers.”
Who are you trying to scare?
Zheng Laidi didn't believe it. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you weren't hurt, why are people spreading such detailed rumors about you?"
"Trying to scare you?"
Song Lan scoffed, "Do I need to? She's just an ignorant woman, does she even deserve to be threatened?"
Song Lan picked up the landline phone on Wang Qiuping's desk and was about to dial when Zheng Laidi, who was standing nearby, suddenly panicked and shouted, "You can't call the police! I... I didn't do anything serious, I just... I just said a few words of gossip, and I overheard those words. Why are you calling the police to arrest me?"
"Spreading rumors is a crime, don't you know that?"
Song Lan asked the other party expressionlessly.
"I...I was wrong, okay? I apologize. We're neighbors, so please don't go too far. I...I admit I had ulterior motives when I went to the security office, but you slapped me twice. How about we just let it go?"
Zheng Laidi was surprised that Song Lan was so tough and actually wanted to call the police.
To be honest, she was scared. She was afraid the police would come and take her away, afraid that the news of her causing a scene at the security office would spread throughout the factory, and then... then her husband would feel embarrassed and might hit her or send her back to her hometown, which would be the least of his worries. Her biggest fear was that he would divorce her!
Zheng Laidi knows Cui Xingwang well and knows that her husband is very concerned about his reputation. If her troubles today end successfully, Cui Xingwang will definitely not say anything to her. After all, she made a scene and got Siya a secure job.
However, the reality was that she failed. The security guards all looked at her coldly, as if she had committed a heinous crime. If she were to be taken away by the police, she would be finished!
Song Lan dialed the number, explained the reason in a few simple sentences, and after the other party hung up, she put the receiver back on the landline under Zheng Laidi's murderous gaze.
Make an example of her, and see who dares to criticize what happened to her in the past.
How could you be so vicious?
Zheng Laidi was so angry she was panting heavily: "You're going to destroy my home! Are you trying to drive me to my death? All I did was say a few idle words to you, and I had a little ulterior motive. Is it really necessary for you to... is it really necessary for you to call the police to retaliate against me?"
"I'm teaching you how to be a person."
Song Lan said calmly, "So you won't forget what it means to say something that will bring trouble."
"It's time for work, you should all go on patrol. What are you still doing in the office?"
This is Fang Jianmin's voice.
Wei Shengli, Wang Pujun, and the others glanced at Song Lan with concern. Seeing Song Lan shake her head, they looked away and left the office one after another.
"I'm waiting here for the officers from the police station to come over."
Song Lan said something to Fang Jianmin and Wang Qiuping.
Fang Jianmin and the other person nodded.
Zheng Laidi wanted to leave, but Wei Shengli pulled the office door shut from the outside. So, before she could reach the door, Fang Jianmin said, "Even if you go home, the police will still come looking for you."
