Chapter 17 Shameless Woman
Meanwhile, a crowd gradually gathered in front of the factory's office building, in front of the leaders' offices.
Almost at the same time that Zhou Shufen stepped onto the cement road, a light footstep sound came from the doorway.
"Don't cause any trouble, we're still at the factory!"
"What can I do if I don't make a scene? If she really gets the director position, how are we supposed to live?"
Zhou Dajun and Wu Haiyan followed closely behind Zhou Shufen.
Before the two could even catch their breath after they had stopped, they heard familiar footsteps coming from inside.
Zhou Shufen has arrived.
Wu Haiyan moved even further back, almost pressing her entire body against Zhou Dajun's back.
Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were darting around.
Her hand gripped the corner of Zhou Dajun's clothes tightly, her fingers trembling slightly with nervousness.
She cautiously peeked out from beside his shoulder, looking at Zhou Shufen a few steps away, her heart pounding like a drum.
Zhou Dajun himself wasn't much better off.
Although I tried to calm myself down, I didn't know where to put my hands.
He looked tense, his eyes darting around, as if afraid that Zhou Shufen might rush up and slap him if she was unhappy.
She glanced at the doorway every now and then, but was afraid of being too obvious and attracting attention.
Zhou Shufen simply snorted coldly, showing no disdain even glancing at them.
She pushed the door open with a swift and decisive motion.
"Oh, Shufen's here! Come in and sit down."
The leader sitting behind the desk immediately stood up with a smile, saying polite words as he personally moved a chair over to gesture for her to sit down.
The room was warmly lit.
However, when he looked up and saw Zhou Dajun and Wu Haiyan following closely behind, his smile vanished as if someone had suddenly pulled the plug, leaving only a dry expression on his lips.
The door was pushed open again, and this time Zhou Haiwei and several cousins filed in.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and the air seemed to grow heavy.
The office isn't big, but it's now packed full of people.
Some sat, some stood, sizing each other up, and some whispered a few words to each other.
Some people gritted their teeth silently, while others stared at a spot on the ground without saying a word.
The leader paused for a moment, as if trying to gather his thoughts.
He tapped the table lightly with his palm, refocusing his attention on himself.
Then he slowly scanned the crowd, his gaze lingering on each person's face for a moment.
Finally, the gaze fell on Wu Haiyan, who nodded meaningfully.
He cleared his throat and said, "The reason I've called everyone here today is because there's something I must formally tell you: After organizational review and comprehensive consideration, Comrade Wu Haiyan will now serve as the workshop director."
These words exploded like a thunderclap in the room.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, especially Wu Haiyan, whose expression froze for a moment.
Then he suddenly realized that he hadn't misheard.
Was she really chosen as the director?
Her lips couldn't help but curve into a smile, a smile she hadn't shown in a long time.
She quickly straightened her back and nodded vigorously in agreement: "Okay, thank you, leader. I will definitely be conscientious and responsible, and do my best in my work!"
Before the emotions inside the room could settle down, someone on the other side couldn't hold back any longer and burst out.
"Boss, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Zhou Haiwei was the first to break the silence.
“I think this decision is inappropriate; she is simply not suited to manage such a large department.”
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Wu Haiyan.
But Li Qiaodi, who was standing behind him, was not so tolerant.
"She's a shameless woman!"
A sharp voice shattered the silence in the room. She was so angry that her face was contorted. She put one hand on her hip and pointed her index finger at Wu Haiyan, roaring angrily.
"She must have secretly seduced my dad and then forced my mom to step down! This conclusion is completely invalid!"
After she finished speaking, there was an uproar in the room.
Someone chimed in, "Yeah, that's right! She's just a scheming little vixen. If she didn't have some connections, how could... how could she have gotten my mom to hand over this position to her?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and a torrent of criticism poured in against her.
Zhou Shufen stood still, her expression unwavering.
A pair of cold eyes listened quietly to their cacophony of insults and questions.
She didn't say a word.
At that moment, she became the perfect victim!
Wu Haiyan was so moved by what she was said that tears kept falling down her face.
She never expected to be accused like this, and felt utterly speechless, so she could only helplessly hold onto Zhou Dajun's arm tightly.
If this charge is proven true, her reputation will be ruined.
Moreover, she will likely find it difficult to hold her head high among relatives, friends, and colleagues in the future.
This will cast a shadow over your entire life.
Zhou Dajun felt extremely distressed.
He suddenly rolled up his sleeves, assuming a charging stance, wanting to protect her.
"Nonsense! What right do you have to gossip about adults' affairs? What do you know to spout nonsense? Do you even know the rules? Have you mistaken the person in charge? Do you even respect your father? Who gave you the right to tell people what to do?"
Don't be fooled by how arrogant and self-righteous his children usually are in front of Zhou Shufen.
But when they heard Zhou Dajun's roar, they all fell silent, lowered their heads, and no one dared to utter a sound or even breathe loudly.
Zhou Dajun's deterrent power is indeed considerable.
Zhou Shufen simply couldn't be bothered with these disputes.
She stood aside, observing the scene before her with a cold eye.
She then gave a cold laugh, looked directly at Zhou Dajun, and said, "You're really annoying. Since you have someone else outside and are still pretending to be stupid, then we don't need to continue this relationship, right? Let's break up!"
"What did you say?"
Zhou Dajun couldn't believe his ears and was filled with astonishment.
"You said you want a divorce? How dare you?"
His emotions erupted instantly.
His facial muscles twitched, and his eyes widened.
The leader, who had been watching impatiently for some time, suddenly shouted sternly, "Enough!"
He then slammed his hand on the table.
Zhou Dajun was startled, and his whole body trembled instinctively.
His imposing manner was thus somewhat diminished.
Zhou Dajun wanted to say a few words in rebuttal to save face for himself.
However, Zhou Shufen had already spoken first.
"Thank you for upholding justice, leader. I have all the necessary documents prepared. I don't want to argue with you anymore, nor do I want to continue this meaningless marriage."
After Zhou Shufen finished speaking, she turned around and left calmly.
Clutching tightly the evidence that proved Zhou Dajun's infidelity, she walked out of the office.
She then went directly to the civil affairs department's service hall.
I handed over the formal divorce application at the service window.
This means that her marriage with Zhou Dajun has come to a complete end.
A few days later, the relevant departments reviewed their divorce request and notified the two that they must go to the scene together to handle the follow-up matters.
Upon arriving at the scene, Zhou Shufen once again handed all the materials she had collected to the staff.
The materials were neatly arranged on the table, page by page.
She looked firmly at the person in charge of receiving her.
