"What? Wan Xiaozhen is Squad Leader Wang's daughter?"
The eyes of everyone around lit up several degrees.
Wan Xiaozhen is nominally the daughter of Squad Leader Wang's sister, but in reality, she is Squad Leader Wang's daughter. Does Squad Leader Wang's husband know this? Does Squad Leader Wang's sister know this? And who is Wan Xiaozhen's biological father?
If Squad Leader Wang's brother-in-law is Wan Xiaozhen's biological father, then wouldn't Squad Leader Wang have been intimate with his brother-in-law? If not, then who is Wan Xiaozhen's biological father...?
Everyone could easily conjure up several dramatic ethical scenarios just by imagining things, and their gazes toward Squad Leader Wang were filled with unspeakable meaning.
Wang Chuntao's face stiffened, and she retorted, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Xiao Zhen is my sister's daughter, and she has nothing to do with me."
She was too quick to deny it, which made her look foolish.
Among the people around was an older woman from the pre-processing workshop. Wanting to stand up for Yu Yao, she deliberately said, "Squad Leader Wang, I always felt that you were treating Wan Xiaozhen strangely. Who treats their niece better than their own children? It turns out Wan Xiaozhen is your daughter."
Those around him, reminded of this, went from being skeptical to almost completely convinced.
"No wonder Wang Chuntao went to great lengths to get Wan Xiaozhen transferred to another workshop; it turns out she was trying to secure benefits for her daughter."
"Who do you think Wan Xiaozhen's biological father is? Wang Chuntao is messing around with men and women, how can she still have the nerve to be the class monitor?"
"Exactly, I wonder if her husband knows that Wang Chuntao has given him such a huge cuckold's horns."
Wang Chuntao listened to the voices around her, her forehead sweating. As the people around her got closer and closer to the truth, she became visibly flustered.
"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. What time is it? Why aren't you back in the workshop? Are you waiting for me to call you back?" Wang Chuntao shouted sternly, shooing away the onlookers. "Get back to the workshop right now, or I'll dock your wages!"
"Let him go. He's just a class monitor, what's so great about him? He can't do whatever he wants and then not let others say anything."
"They're gone, they're gone. Wang Chuntao is making a big deal out of nothing again."
Wang Chuntao's actions further confirmed everyone's suspicions.
Within two days, the news spread throughout the food factory after Wan Xiaozhen and Zhou Qiang were arrested. Even other factories in the surrounding area knew that a foreman at the food factory had cheated on her husband.
The factory recently received a last-minute order for canned fruit, and everyone in the workshop is working overtime to complete the production before the delivery date.
Other workshops are okay; if they speed up, they can still finish production before the end of the workday. But the sugar water workshop is different.
The boiling temperature of the sugar syrup cannot be too high, otherwise the sugar will easily burn and change color. Moreover, the proportion of sugar syrup that can be made in one pot is fixed, so you can only cook it one pot at a time, and there is no time to rush.
In order to meet the production targets, Yu Yao and the others even ate lunch by the stove while boiling sugar water.
While others only started working after their lunch break, Yu Yao and her colleagues never stopped.
Watching the sugar water in more than a dozen large pots at the same time was extremely exhausting. After finally finishing one batch, Yu Yao and her colleagues turned off the heat.
Just as they were preparing to cook the second batch, they heard a loud bang as the door was kicked open. Immediately afterward, a heated argument erupted from Wang Chuntao's office, accompanied by the clanging of things being smashed.
People from other workshops all gathered around to see what was going on. Fang Qiaoqiao, who was on the front line of the gossip, followed a man as soon as she saw him walking aggressively toward Wang Chuntao's office.
The people in the sugar water workshop couldn't leave, so they could only listen to the noise and felt itchy inside, craning their necks to look at where the crowd was gathering every now and then.
Only Yu Yao, who was initially startled by the noise, turned her attention back to the temperature of the sugar water after realizing that it was Wang Chuntao's husband who had come knocking.
Seeing Yu Yao's expression, her colleague Tao Xueying, who was helping her look at the dessert, couldn't help but ask, "Yu Yao, everyone else wants to watch the excitement, why aren't you curious at all?"
Yu Yao reached out and looked at the thermometer, then reached out to feel the temperature of the sugar water, saying, "Who says I'm not curious? It's exciting, of course I want to see it too."
Tao Xueying clearly didn't believe it. "From just now until now, the office has been noisy for so long, and you only glanced up once. You haven't even looked at it since. Is that considered curiosity?"
Yu Yao smiled and said, "If I had nothing else to do, I would definitely go watch the excitement. But I still need to check on the sweet soup, so it's fine to watch the excitement later. The sweet soup will easily burn if it's left unattended."
Tao Xueying rested her chin on her hand, admiring Yu Yao immensely. "That makes sense, but how many people can actually do it? No wonder you were able to become a dessert chef so quickly. I really haven't been working hard enough!"
"Yu Yao, besides Lei Feng, you are my role model. I want to learn from you, work hard, and watch the excitement later." Tao Xueying was greatly stimulated. Although she couldn't help but want to watch from time to time, she restrained herself when she saw Yu Yao working hard.
And so, she started working alongside Yu Yao. And sure enough, with Yu Yao as her role model, Tao Xueying's restless heart really calmed down, and she cooperated with Yu Yao earnestly.
Director Li and Zhao Shengli rushed over upon hearing the news. As they passed the sugar water workshop, they saw that people from other workshops had gone to watch the excitement, while only Yu Yao and Tao Xueying were diligently and responsibly boiling the sugar water. They showed a hint of appreciation.
Instead of going to Wang Chuntao's office, the two went into the sugar water workshop.
Director Li suddenly spoke up: "Everyone else has gone to watch the excitement, why aren't you going?"
Tao Xueying was startled and almost dropped the spoon in her hand into the pot.
Fortunately, Yu Yao caught her in time, saying, "Hello, Director Li! Hello, Brother Zhao!"
Director Li waved his hand, "It's all good, it's all good! You, Xiao Tao, right? You haven't answered my question yet. Why didn't you go watch the excitement?"
Tao Xueying was a little nervous and didn't know how to answer. Thinking of what Yu Yao had just said, she repeated Yu Yao's answer.
Director Li nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, Xiao Yu taught you to say that, didn't she?"
Tao Xueying smiled sheepishly: "Director Li, you are truly wise. I didn't say that. I asked Yu Yao just now, and she answered. When you asked me, I got nervous and just said Yu Yao's answer."
Fearing that Director Li would be angry, Tao Xueying added a special explanation: "I didn't go to watch the commotion because I was inspired by how diligently Yu Yao was working."
"To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. You are a good comrade!" Director Li and Brother Zhao were very happy and looked at Tao Xueying: "Comrade Yu Yao is our fruit cannery's advanced worker this quarter. It is right for you to learn from her. You can't just learn from her this time. You should learn from her in the future."
Tao Xueying was flattered by the performance and nodded repeatedly: "Director Li, don't worry, Yu Yao is my role model, and I will learn more from her in the future."
Yu Yao was somewhat surprised to hear the term "advanced worker".
