Chapter 72
Xie Jinxuan's expression froze for a moment, her beautiful and deep black eyes staring at Xia Qingtang's big eyes full of pain and hatred. After a moment of silence, Xie Jinxuan said in a deep voice: "It is theoretically feasible."
Xia Qingtang looked at his handsome face and suddenly sighed. She said, "Your family has educated you so well. Now that I say this, do you think I'm crazy? Or do you think I'm a bad person?"
Mr. Xie has always been a very upright person. Xia Qingtang dared to pat his chest and say that he had never done anything bad. By the time of Xie Jinxuan's generation, the whole family's values were actually the same. But for her, Xie Jinxuan did some things that could not be told to Mr. Xie, such as fanning the flames behind the scenes to get Kong Liangchao fired early, and hiring someone to attack Du Cheng...
The things that happened against Kong Liangchao were nothing serious. After all, Kong Liangchao really did a lot of bad things. They just exposed all the bad things and said that they were getting rid of harm for the people.
As for Du Cheng, after all, he did the bad thing first, so it can be considered normal revenge. Although it is an dishonorable revenge, it is already revenge, so why bother about whether it is glorious or not?
But what Xia Qingtang wanted to do now actually had nothing to do with her directly. She just felt sorry for her good friend and didn't want the bad guys to get away with nothing.
Xie Jinxuan leaned closer, stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms, then said softly: "You overestimate me. I am not a person like my grandfather. He is a person who repays evil with kindness, but I am not. I prefer to repay evil with kindness. Besides, what I did to Du Cheng, does that mean I have a good heart? Of course, Du Cheng deserved it. Don't think too much. I know what kind of person you are. You have a good heart and will never hurt someone for no reason. Since you want to attack Jia Guangrong, it must be because Jia Guangrong did something unforgivable. You mentioned this person when you came back from the class reunion that day, and the person Jia Guangrong was engaged to was your classmate Xie Xiaoshuang. So, this matter must be related to Xie Xiaoshuang, right?"
Xia Qingtang grabbed his clothes tightly and whispered, "You are right."
"Although I don't know what happened exactly, but looking at your eyes, I know that Jia Guangrong must have committed something unforgivable, and you can't tell anyone. If you could tell anyone, you wouldn't look so painful." Xie Jinxuan said.
Xia Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Jinxuan was smarter than her, so even if she didn't say anything, he could infer a lot of things.
She said, "The thing is, Xie Xiaoshuang cannot marry that Jia Guangrong, absolutely not. I asked you to check the Jia family, originally thinking that if they have done anything scandalous, I could use it to threaten them and make them cancel the engagement. If that scandal is a crime, it would be even better, I could just send the Jia family to jail, and then Xiaoshuang wouldn't have to get married. But now their family has no handle, so I can only create one artificially... Actually, I also know that I am saying it so simply now, but I don't know how to do it, and even... I may not be able to implement it successfully."
"You have me. I'm here for you to do anything you want." Xie Jinxuan's voice was very gentle and very firm.
Xia Qingtang felt more and more embarrassed. She buried her head in his arms and said vaguely, "Look, I have to rely on you for everything I do... Even to harm others, I have to rely on you..."
"If you don't rely on me, who do you want to rely on?" Xie Jinxuan said with a smile: "I am happy for you to rely on me. If you want to rely on others, I will not agree! Whoever wants to snatch it from me will not be allowed to do so!"
"Is this what I mean? That's not what I meant." Xia Qingtang raised her head and looked at him with a reproachful look.
Xie Jinxuan said gently: "I know what you mean, but I don't mind. You are helping your friend, and I am helping you. In fact, we are doing good things. You are right to think so."
Xia Qingtang couldn't help but laugh: "You are good at comforting people."
"So you're not going to get stuck in a rut now, are you?"
"I won't go into it any more. I just want to think of a way to deal with Jia as soon as possible." Xia Qingtang's expression was serious. "Their wedding is scheduled for May 15th. Time waits for no one."
Xie Jinxuan also became serious. He said, "Well... I'll tell you some basic information about their family first, and then you can think about what strategy you can come up with. We can also discuss it together. If there's anything missing, I can help you fill it in. When it comes time to do something specific, I can also do it for you."
"Okay, go ahead." Xia Qingtang nodded seriously.
Xie Jinxuan then recounted the details of the Jia family. His findings were quite detailed and he also found out many things that Xie Xiaoshuang didn't know.
But the Jia family is indeed a very ordinary family. Jia Guangrong's parents had no problems with their backgrounds, and they got through those ten years safely by being able to stand on the side. However, his parents never targeted anyone, nor did they do anything out of line. They were also very cautious at work, so they had no chance of promotion over the years, but they were able to work steadily until retirement.
As for Jia Guangrong himself, he also graduated from high school and wanted to work in an office, but he didn't get the opportunity at that time. Later, he could only go to the food factory where his grandparents had worked all their lives. However, he worked as a clerk in the factory and did not have to go to the workshop, so he always boasted that he had good conditions.
When he was in his twenties, he married a clerk from another factory who was introduced to him by someone else. His life was pretty good at first, but the woman had a difficult delivery and could not be saved in the hospital. In the end, he lost both his wife and the child.
Jia Guangrong is the only son in the family, and the others are all sisters. So more than a year after his wife became a widower, his family started looking for people to introduce him to a partner, hoping that he would remarry as soon as possible and have a son for the family.
But Jia Guangrong didn't have any major problems, but he had many minor ones, one of which was that he was very picky. No matter what, his previous wife was at least a clerk who graduated from high school and was also good-looking. Therefore, when he was looking for a partner again, he only looked for good-looking girls who graduated from high school and worked in offices.
But how could such a good girl be interested in him? He was not young, had average looks, and had been married once. His family went out to look for a girl as he requested, but was rejected every time. Some people with bad tempers even scolded him for being a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
After searching for several years, he couldn't find a wife who was neither high nor low. Finally, the whole family couldn't stand it anymore. His mother cried and scolded him every day. Jia Guangrong had no choice but to compromise and said that he didn't care about the job, as long as she was a pretty girl who graduated from high school.
But even so, it was still not easy to find one. Finally, his aunt came up with an idea to find one for him among the sent-down youth. After much discussion, Xie Xiaoshuang was chosen by their family.
After looking at more than a dozen photos of Xie Xiaoshuang, Jia Guangrong was very satisfied. When the Jia family went there to propose marriage, Xie Xiaoshuang's mother put forward some requirements: first, Xie Xiaoshuang's job problem must be solved, second, the money must be paid in three transfers and one ring, and finally, Xie Xiaoshuang must support her mother's family for five years.
Jia Guangrong has been single for so many years. Although he has not met Xie Xiaoshuang in person, he can't wait to remarry. In addition, the Jia family is really anxious to have a grandchild, so he agreed to the girl's mother's request and arranged the marriage without Xie Xiaoshuang returning home and without her knowledge.
"After that, your classmate asked for leave from the countryside. It's not clear what happened that time, but the marriage was confirmed. The Jia family asked grandpa to retire and give up his position. Your classmate went back to the countryside to complete the formalities, returned to the city for the New Year, and went to work after the New Year. But according to the neighbors of the Jia family, your classmate never went to the Jia family once, and didn't talk to Jia Guangrong at the factory. They treated him like a stranger. Outsiders found it very strange, but the Jia family was very happy. Anyway, they told everyone that their son was going to remarry and the family could have a grandson." Xie Jinxuan said: "These are all we can find out. Based on the above, Jia Guangrong is not greedy for money, but he is very face-conscious and likes good-looking female comrades. If we want to make a move, we can only start from these places."
Xia Qingtang sat on a small stool and fell into deep thought. Seeing that she was thinking about something, Xie Jinxuan picked the remaining vegetables and took them outside to wash them.
When she came back, Xia Qingtang came to her senses. She stood up with a small stool and asked, "Have you washed the vegetables?"
"Yes." Xie Jinxuan put the small vegetable basket on the table.
"I'll cook some vegetable porridge for dinner tonight. We had such a good meal at noon, so I'll just have a bite for dinner, okay?"
"Okay, anything for dinner is fine."
Xia Qingtang started cooking. Xie Jinxuan stood beside her but did not speak, obviously not wanting to disturb her thoughts.
The vegetable paste was ready quickly. It was made with the cornmeal that I had brought back earlier, mixed with some white flour. A little sesame oil was poured on it before taking it out of the pot, and it smelled delicious.
Xia Qingtang carried the small pot to the dining table, and Xie Jinxuan quickly took a large bowl and a spoon over, and the two of them began to eat dinner.
While eating, Xia Qingtang suddenly asked, "If someone is caught gambling in a group now, how long will the sentence be?"
For example, they set up a trap and let someone named Jia go to gamble, and when they start fighting, they send the police to catch them. However, the person who set up the trap will definitely have a chance to escape, leaving only Jia Guangrong to be caught.
Xie Jinxuan said: "Although they are investigating gambling, it won't take too long. They will be released in half a year or a year at most. But they will definitely lose their jobs. No company can afford to lose such people."
"Half a year or a year... that's too light." Xia Qingtang stopped eating and said slowly, "Only half a year or a year, that's too light."
Xie Jinxuan said: "If you want to keep him in prison for a long time, it has to be a big problem, such as destroying something big of the collective, destroying collective property, etc. But it's not easy to set up a trap for such a thing, Jia Guangrong himself doesn't have that much courage, and the danger is still a bit too great, so this won't work."
"I thought about it. Intentional injury will definitely result in a heavy sentence, right? But it's not easy to deal with such things. Even if we can ask the hospital to make a false certificate saying that the victim was seriously injured, there must be a wound... Anyway, this won't work. This is even harder to deal with." Xia Qingtang said, "I thought about it and felt that the only way to deal with it is to like good-looking lesbians."
Xie Jinxuan understood immediately: "Set up a honey trap? Lure him in, and then accuse him of molestation?"
If the crime of exile is defined as that of a mang, then imprisonment for ten to eight years is very normal. Moreover, Jia Guangrong was originally guilty of exile. If he can really succeed, he deserves it.
The difficulty is finding someone to lure him into the trap...
Xia Qingtang murmured, "It's easier said than done. In fact, it's not easy. Who can I find to lure him in? Who would be willing to do such a thing? Even if it's just a pretense, it won't be good for my reputation."
After all, it was this era. Even if they had planned everything out and were lurking in that place, Jia Guangrong would just rush over and catch them in the act. The female comrade was not actually harmed, but this matter required accusation against the other party. Once accused, the matter would definitely spread, and once it spread, it would attract all kinds of rumors, and people would probably point fingers at them for years.
Xie Jinxuan said: "If you want to use the beauty trap, I can find someone to do it."
"Ah? You can find someone? Really?" Xia Qingtang widened his eyes.
Xie Jinxuan nodded: "You know, many people's families are very poor and they never have enough food. In places we can't see, some people are willing to do something for ten kilograms of food."
His tone sounded very low, and it was obvious that he felt very uncomfortable when he said this.
Xia Qingtang was silent for a while. Indeed, although she did not live well in the Xia family, because she had few children, she could eat half full since she was a child. After she started working, she had her own income. The meals at home were not good, but in the cafeteria, she could eat enough staple food.
But for some families with a large number of children, not having enough to eat is the most common phenomenon. Every month, some people in the cotton mill would take the white rice and white flour from the families to the black market to secretly exchange them for coarse grains. Although the coarse grains they got in return were large in quantity and tasted bad, at least everyone could eat a little more.
As for things like meat coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial product coupons, families with many children would never use them for themselves. They would exchange them all for coarse grains every month. But even so, the children would often cry from hunger.
Not to mention ten kilograms of food, when you are really hungry, some people are willing to do a lot just for a bite of food.
Both of them were silent for a while, and Xie Jinxuan was the first to break the silence. He said, "This kind of thing requires mutual consent. As long as the other party is willing, it is a good thing. At least, she can exchange food for it. Of course, I will not personally take care of this matter, and I will find a reliable person to implement it."
"Then...we should give them more food." Xia Qingtang said, "I know the black market. I will exchange all my coupons for food in the next few months."
Xie Jinxuan nodded: "Then I'll go with you. Anyway, we don't lack anything at home now, so let's take them all and exchange them."
"Is it settled then? You find a good person and let her seduce Jia Guangrong. Once everything is planned, you can find someone to catch them in the act. But, I can't help you anymore." Xia Qingtang sighed slightly.
Xie Jinxuan smiled and patted her head, saying, "Then remember, I'm helping you now, if I need you to do anything in the future, just rush over, okay?"
"Okay, of course! I tell you, from now on, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and live the best life!" Xia Qingtang said confidently.
"Then I'll be waiting." Xie Jinxuan smiled.
Xia Qingtang added: "Oh, right, if he is caught in the act of vagrancy, even if he hasn't done anything yet, he can still be locked up for many years, right?"
She didn't know much about this, but she knew that being caught in the act was a very serious matter. In the past, people would wear a paper hat, hang a big sign on their chest, and go to the streets to be scolded by everyone.
"Yes, even if he hasn't done anything, he will be imprisoned for a few years at least. And since he's caught in the act, there's nothing much to say, the police are witnesses." Xie Jinxuan said, "I just have another question, will your classmate's family really let her break off the engagement just because the man is in jail? What if even if Jia Guangrong is arrested, but the woman's family still wants her to marry him and wait until he's released from jail for money and a job, how do we solve this problem?"
Xia Qingtang immediately became serious: "You are right, this matter must be resolved. Fortunately, these two matters do not conflict. No matter what, Jia Guangrong must go to jail. As for not getting married, I can find another way."
"I see. I will go find someone tomorrow and try to set up a plan based on Jia Guangrong's daily habits." Xie Jinxuan said, "Don't worry about what I will do. I will never reveal any clues."
"I know you are the smartest and most meticulous person, and I trust you to do things. But I feel really sorry for you. You are such a good person, but you have to help me do such a thing."
"It is everyone's responsibility to eliminate harm for the people." Xie Jinxuan said, "That's what I think, so don't worry about it."
That night, because of the influence of this incident, Xia Qingtang did not study, but took a shower and went to bed early.
She got up very early the next morning, and Xie Jinxuan had just finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom.
"Qingtang? Why did you get up so early?" He was a little surprised.
He has always had very little sleep, usually five or six hours a night, which gives him plenty of energy the next day.
But Xia Qingtang needs to sleep for eight or nine hours, so they usually don't get up at the same time.
Xia Qingtang said: "I want to go find Xie Xiaoshuang and talk to her before work, so I have to go out early. Don't worry, I will definitely not say anything that I shouldn't say."
"The cafeteria isn't open yet, so I won't go exercise. I'll cook some noodles for you." Xie Jinxuan looked at the clock.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just drink a cup of malted milk and eat some snacks. You can go exercise as usual, don't worry about me." Xia Qingtang said, and went into the bathroom.
Xie Jinxuan went out for exercise as usual. Xia Qingtang quickly washed up, had a simple breakfast, and hurriedly rode out with his bag on his back.
I have to say, having your own bicycle is really convenient. You can go wherever you want early in the morning.
She rode her bike to Xie Xiaoshuang's home and waited outside for a while. When she saw Xie Xiaoshuang and her sister coming out with basins to make breakfast, she came out from the corner and made a slight gesture towards them.
When Xie Xiaoshuang saw Xia Qingtang in the corner, she was startled at first, then she handed the basin to her sister and ran over quickly.
"Why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Xie Xiaoshuang pulled Xia Qingtang back to the corner and hid there.
Xia Qingtang said, "Yes, I have something to talk to you about. It's like this. We asked someone to investigate the Jia family, but they are just an ordinary family. We couldn't find anything to threaten them with."
Xie Xiaoshuang's face darkened: "I have a premonition... If it doesn't work, forget it. This is my fate, I have to accept it."
"What do you mean by accepting your fate? Isn't it too early? What's the point of that? Even if you really accept your fate, you can't just let it go. If I were you, and I really accepted my fate, I would drag your mother and Jia Guangrong to die together, so that I wouldn't suffer any loss! Don't keep thinking about whether to accept your fate or not. Why should you give them an advantage if you accept your fate? Are you stupid?" Xia Qingtang's voice was very low, but her tone was full of indignation.
Xie Xiaoshuang's expression relaxed, and she looked at Xia Qingtang with a very grateful look: "You are right, I am not a fool, why should I let them get away with it? If there is really no other way, I will kill them all on the wedding day! We will die together!"
Seeing her determined look, Xia Qingtang felt relieved. She said, "You're right to think so, but this matter is not hopeless yet. I'm telling you, I've thought of a way. I can't tell you the details, but it will at least make things difficult for the Jia family. But you have to be prepared on your side. Pack your luggage and things, because you may have to move out at any time. As long as I notify you, you will move out immediately and sever ties with your family. You can definitely do this, right? You even have the courage to die together, so you can definitely sever ties. If you're worried, you can also bring your sister with you. I've already prepared a place for you to live. As long as you can get out, you'll have a place to live."
"I can do it. I don't have anything anyway. Now that you've said that, I'll pack up my sister's and my things... Oh, I still have some money and other things. My mother asked the Jia family for it because she was afraid I would make a fuss. I can't stay here... Can you come again tomorrow? I want to give you my valuables and ask you to keep them for me."
"Okay, I'll come over at the same time tomorrow morning. Get ready and wait for me at the door." Xia Qingtang looked at the time and said, "Go back and make breakfast, or your family will ask you if you've been out for too long."
Xie Xiaoshuang hugged her and went back with red eyes.
Xia Qingtang also found a way out from the side and rode his bicycle to work.
Although the weather was bad today, Wu Jinfeng returned to work. She came to the union to get a document. She looked rosy and smiling.
Li Yue asked her how her stomach was, and she smiled and said, "It's stable now. The doctor said as long as I don't work too hard, I should be fine. I'm not busy in the factory office, and everyone is taking good care of me."
"Congratulations, getting married and having a child together is a great joy." Li Yue said, "How does your lover treat you?"
"My husband is a very nice person, and he's especially good at taking care of people." When talking about Xia Qinghai, Wu Jinfeng actually smiled sweetly. It seems that the relationship between the couple is indeed extraordinary.
Li Yue deliberately looked at Xia Qingtang and said, "Come to think of it, you are Secretary Xia's sister-in-law now. We are family, why don't you say hello?"
Wu Jinfeng's face turned dark, probably because she didn't know what to say, so she took the documents and walked out quickly.
Xia Qingtang worked diligently from beginning to end without even raising his head.
Li Yue walked to her table and said with a smile: "We are already aunt and sister-in-law, why don't you talk?"
Xia Qingtang smiled and said, "My brother and I don't talk much. She and I are not even related by blood, so why should I talk to her?"
Li Yue's face twitched and she said, "Xiao Xia, I've noticed that you have a bad temper and are quite arrogant."
"Yes, everyone says so." Xia Qingtang still smiled, "But what I did didn't affect my work and life, and it didn't affect Secretary Li, right?"
Li Yue was stunned again. She rolled her eyes and said, "You really didn't affect our work or us..."
"Isn't that okay? My housework has nothing to do with work, so let's not talk about it and continue working." Xia Qingtang smiled sweetly at her, then continued to work.
After a while, Chairman Qin called Xia Qingtang over. She quickly tidied up the desk, locked the drawer, and then went out with the notebook and pen.
This is her work habit. As long as she leaves her desk, she will put away all work-related items on the desk and lock the drawer.
She has no prejudice against other colleagues, but with Li Yue in the office, it is better to be cautious in everything.
When Li Yue saw her leave, she said, "Didn't Xiao Xia marry into a good family? Look at how proud she is! What's so great about it? She's so rude!"
Wu Feng said, "I feel like Xiao Xia is no different than before. She has always been like this. It doesn't matter what you say about work, but isn't she always so rude when it comes to her personal matters?"
"That's right, why do you have to meddle in other people's private affairs?" Zhang Ning said, "Everyone knows that Wu Jinfeng has a bad relationship with her, and everyone knows that Xiaoxia doesn't associate with her family. You insist on saying that they are sister-in-law. Xiaowu is unhappy, and Xiaoxia is unhappy too. Tell me, what are you trying to achieve?"
Li Yue was furious: "What's wrong with you? Are you speaking for her? What's wrong with me asking about her personal matters? We are colleagues in the same office. Is it illegal to talk about family matters?"
"It's not against the law, but it's normal for him to be unhappy." Zhang Ning said, "Besides, his wife bought the ticket for you, why don't you think of her kindness?"
Ever since Xie Jinxuan helped Zhang Ning buy tickets for next month's theater, Zhang Ning has had a better impression of Xia Qingtang, so he will take the initiative to speak up for her.
"What's wrong with buying tickets? I didn't force her husband to buy them. He bought the tickets for us because he was willing to do so!" Li Yue said righteously.
Zhang Ning shook his head helplessly: "I advise you to take it easy. Xiao Xia has told you countless times not to meddle in her family affairs. I think she has been patient enough. If she embarrasses you directly, you deserve it. Do you know that she married into a good family? What is the status of her in-laws? If they really want to punish you, it will be useless even if I press my little finger!"
Li Yue's face tensed up and her voice lowered, "Is it that serious? It's just a trivial matter. Is she going to treat me like this?"
"Who told her in-laws to be so powerful? It doesn't matter if you are brave and not afraid of death, but you should also think about your children." Zhang Ning sneered and went to work.
Xia Qingtang arrived at Chairman Qin's small office, knocked on the door and walked in, and saw Feng Xinhui also standing there holding a notebook.
"Chairman Qin, I'm here." Xia Qingtang stood beside Feng Xinhui.
Chairman Qin smiled and said, "It's like this. I have to go to the city for a meeting tomorrow. It's quite important. There are some work arrangements and some arrangements for the city on May Day. Because it will take a day, I need to find someone to go with me to the meeting. Usually, Xiao Feng and I go to such meetings, but unfortunately, Xiao Feng's family has something wrong. He has to take a leave tomorrow and go out of town. He won't be back until three days later. So, I want to take you with me to the meeting. You don't have to be nervous. Going to the city meeting just means sitting in the back and listening, and taking things by the way. You are good at taking minutes, so taking you there will come in handy. At noon, the city will also provide a meal, and then we will have a rest, and the meeting will continue in the afternoon. So, if you have any arrangements for lunch, you may need to prepare in advance."
Chairman Qin is a female comrade, so she is used to taking Feng Xinhui, a female comrade, to attend meetings in the city. Now that Feng Xinhui is not here, she will not consider the two male comrades. Only Li Yue and Xia Qingtang are left, and anyone would choose Xia Qingtang.
Although she is young and has not been in the union for long, she has good abilities and works seriously. So even though she has no experience, she is much better than several other colleagues.
"Yes, I understand. I will bring good things tomorrow and be a good follower of the leader." Xia Qingtang said seriously.
Chairman Qin and Feng Xinhui laughed together. Chairman Qin said, "Yes, you should bring good things. After all, you are going to attend a meeting all day. If you want to bring anything, ask Xiao Feng. She has experience."
"yes."
"Then you guys go out. Xiao Feng, tell her about it, and also tell her about the car." Chairman Qin said.
Feng Xinhui immediately said, "Yes, then we'll go out first."
Xia Qingtang followed Feng Xinhui out. When they reached the corridor, Feng Xinhui began to say, "Something happened suddenly in my hometown, and my wife and I have to go back, so I have to trouble you. You don't have to be nervous. In fact, when we go to the city for a meeting, we little followers are equivalent to the leaders' secretaries. The factory director has a secretary, but our Chairman Qin doesn't, so every time we ask an officer to follow. You don't have to do anything during the meeting, just sit with the secretaries and write down the content of the meeting. Generally, there will be a break in the morning and afternoon. During this time, you can lean over and quietly ask Chairman Qin if she needs anything. If she needs to go to the toilet, you can accompany her. During the lunch break, you should also pay attention to observe. If Chairman Qin wants to have lunch with the union chairmen of other factories, don't disturb them and go alone. If Chairman Qin calls you to join, you should accompany her to eat, pay attention to help her add some boiled water, and help wash the lunch box after eating, etc., which are probably small things."
These are things Feng Xinhui would normally do herself, and now she is teaching them to Xia Qingtang without reservation, which is very kind of her.
"Okay, I've remembered everything." Xia Qingtang listened carefully.
She had never done this kind of work before, but she thought it wouldn't be difficult.
"Oh, and I've already booked a car in advance. I'll take you there before I get off work this afternoon and confirm the time with the driver. The meeting starts at 8:30 tomorrow morning, so we have to leave from the factory at 7:30. You can just ride your bike to the car shed and wait. You don't have to come to the office. Because Chairman Qin will go directly to the car shed and leave as soon as she arrives, so you must wait a little earlier." Feng Xinhui said as she walked into the office with her.
Li Yue might have been frightened by Zhang Ning at this moment, so when she saw Xia Qingtang coming in, she quickly smiled at her and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Xia, I added hot water to your cup, drink it while it's hot."
Xia Qingtang said calmly: "Thank you, Director Li. I won't need to do it next time. I can do this kind of thing myself. I don't want to trouble you."
Feng Xinhui said, "Speaking of cups, don't you have a thermos cup? You can bring it with you tomorrow. After all, you'll be there for a whole day, so it's easier to drink water with your own cup. The leaders have tea cups at their seats, and there are people to pour water for them, so you don't have to worry about that. You also have to put your lunch box in your bag. The city provides lunch, so you have to have something to carry your lunch. In addition, if you need any toilet paper or pen ink, bring it with you, because it's a long day."
Especially for lesbians, if they encounter special periods, they should bring toilet paper with them.
The welfare in various factories is still good at this moment, and toilet paper is provided to every female employee.
Speaking of which, before Xia Qingtang fainted, she had already used the cheapest sanitary napkins, which were convenient and hygienic. Now that she is back, she has to pick up sanitary belts and toilet paper again, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, I will bring these things with me." Xia Qingtang said with a smile: "I haven't been to the city for a meeting yet. I'm looking forward to it."
"It's good that you are not nervous. You can also take a look at it when the time comes. If you can get to know the officers of other unions, you can also chat with them." Feng Xinhui said: "But these are secondary. The most important thing is to remember the content well. If you can't care about other things, just take good notes of the meeting, and you will complete your task."
"I understand. Please rest assured, Director Feng." After Xia Qingtang said this, he sat down and wrote a few lines in the notebook.
Zhang Ning asked, "Why? Xiao Xia is going to accompany Chairman Qin to a meeting in the city tomorrow?"
"Yes." Feng Xinhui said.
"Xiao Feng, why don't you go?"
"I have something to do in my hometown, so I have to take three days off starting tomorrow, so I can only let Xiao Xia accompany Chairman Qin."
Zhang Ning said: "Xiao Xia must accompany Chairman Qin well and not bring shame to our cotton mill."
"Please rest assured, I will definitely do my best." Xia Qingtang smiled.
Although Li Yue had no interest in such things, she was an old employee after all. Feng Xinhui was Chairman Qin's confidant and was always around her. She could not compare with him in this respect. But Feng Xinhui asked for leave to go back to her hometown, but Chairman Qin found a newcomer to accompany her to the meeting in the city. Thinking of this, Li Yue was a little unhappy.
But because she had just been taught a lesson by Zhang Ning, she was also worried that Xia Qingtang's in-laws would punish her, so she could only swallow her anger and lower her head and be angry alone.
After that, Li Yue always made some pounding and kicking noises, and whenever she went in or out, she would deliberately hit the wooden door of the office.
Wu Feng said, "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you so picky about a door?"
Li Yue looked at Xia Qingtang with a sidelong glance, but said, "It's nothing, I didn't do it on purpose, can't I just be careless?"
Xia Qingtang smiled in her heart. Of course she could see that Li Yue was unhappy, but who could she blame for this?
Although Li Yue is an old employee, she is usually passive and lazy at work. She often makes clothes, shoes and knits sweaters in the office. With such a work attitude, which leader would like her?
Being outdone by the newcomer, instead of reflecting on his own problems, he showed displeasure to others. With such behavior, it is clear that Li Yue will be like this for the rest of her life.
Anyway, Xia Qingtang wouldn't mind the other party smashing things around. The door was public property, and the tables and chairs were also public property. Whoever broke them would have to pay for it, and she wouldn't be affected.
After work, Xia Qingtang hurriedly rode his bike home, quickly made dinner, and then hurried to take a shower after eating.
Xie Jinxuan said: "You have to go to work so early tomorrow morning, are you going to your classmate's house?"
"Of course I will go. We have already made an appointment. If I don't go, she will think too much." Xia Qingtang said, "Tomorrow at noon, please tell Teacher Chenxiang that I will have to miss a class."
"Don't worry about this. I would go even if you didn't tell me."
"Thank you." Xia Qingtang walked out of the bedroom with a change of clothes, kissed Xie Jinxuan on the mouth, and quickly went to take a shower.
After taking a bath, she went to bed quickly.
Xie Jinxuan hadn't been intimate with her for several days. When he walked into the bedroom and saw Xia Qingtang sleeping soundly, he could only sigh softly, hold her in his arms and go to sleep.
The next morning, Xia Qingtang went out even earlier. Fortunately, Xie Xiaoshuang was waiting for her outside the door. When she saw her, she quickly found a corner and stuffed the things she had packed into Xia Qingtang's pocket.
Xia Qingtang put the money in his bag and hurried to the cotton mill.
Fortunately, it was still early, and she chatted with the driver for a while before Chairman Qin arrived.
As a little follower, Xia Qingtang also learned from what he saw in TV dramas and took the initiative to help Chairman Qin open the car door.
Chairman Qin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Xiao Xia, you are such a smart kid."
"Thank you for the compliment, leader." Xia Qingtang also laughed. After Chairman Qin sat down in the back seat, she gently closed the door, then walked to the passenger side and sat in herself.
The cotton mill’s bus was an old jeep. Since there was only one, the leaders had to take turns using it.
Whenever a leader wants to use a car, he has to arrange the time with the driver in advance. He will write it down in his notebook and will never delay his work.
Because it was an old, shabby car, it didn't drive very fast. They didn't arrive at their destination until 8:15. After parking the car, Xia Qingtang hurriedly got out and helped Chairman Qin open the back door. She also blocked the roof with her hand to prevent the leader from hitting his head.
"Hey, Lao Qin, have you changed your secretary? She teaches so well and can even help you open the car door!" A rough voice sounded from not far away.
