"So what if you have a face? What's so great about that!" Zhao Li exploded like a lit firecracker.
Xia Lan smiled slightly, pulled Xiao Ling over Zhao Li, and left.
"What makes you so great! Ugh..."
If anyone else had said that to Zhao Li, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Xia Lan's words, however, can produce double or even greater effects.
Listening to Zhao Li's frenzied outburst of profanities behind them, many curious people heard her vulgar language and their impression of Zhao Li plummeted.
Everyone kept their distance from Zhao Li to avoid being targeted by her.
"Xia, what happened to you?" many people asked with concern.
Xia Lan noticed that their gossipy manner didn't seem like they cared at all, so Xiao Ling helped Xia Lan explain what had happened.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Xia Lan was indeed not to blame.
It was clearly that man who went too far. Xia Lan wasn't hiding her marital status; everyone knew she was married, and she herself had openly introduced her husband.
If that man continues to pester her, then he really does seem a bit like a scoundrel.
Who forces someone to date, especially when Xia Lan is already married?
"Xia, this matter can't just be left like this, it's not your fault."
"But that's the deputy factory director's son!"
"Xia, you're so unlucky!"
"It's understandable that I might be tempted by you, given how good you are and how capable you are, but forcing someone is a bit much."
Everyone shared their opinions and offered comfort to Xia Lan.
But they all felt that Xia Lan was too attractive.
"Being good-looking isn't a crime. How can we blame her just because she's too pretty?" Xiaoling clearly disagreed with this view.
"Her good looks are a gift from her parents, and how can you force a woman just because she's pretty? She's not a robber!"
Xia Lan patted Xiao Ling's hand.
I am grateful for her protection.
"Anyway, this isn't my fault. If you really want to blame me, I have nothing to say," Xia Lan said to everyone.
"I'm heading back now! You guys keep busy!"
Xia Lan waved to the crowd, and as they watched her retreating figure, someone couldn't help but say something.
"Being too good-looking isn't good either... sigh!"
"That's wrong. Being too good-looking is her strength. Some people can't even be good-looking if they want to. The one who's wrong is that guy."
These two viewpoints also represent their thoughts.
"Alright, get back to work at the counter now," Xiaoling said to them. After they returned to the counter, Xiaoling quickly went to find Minister Yang and told him about the incident.
Minister Yang knew better than anyone how much he valued Xia Lan.
Xia Lan really wanted to see Qin Yu, so she went to Qin Yu's movie theater, but she couldn't find him anywhere. Remembering what she had said last night, she realized that Qin Yu must have gone to the transport team.
Not knowing where the transport team was, she turned and left the movie theater dejectedly.
She didn't think she was wrong, but because Li Jianmin chose to keep quiet and listened to the deputy factory director, he fired her.
This made her very unhappy.
Xia Lan returned home alone and sat there in the house without Qin Yu, waiting blankly for him to come home.
On his first day with the transport team, Qin Yu resolved several unclear regulations, reviewed the common problems that had arisen from previous rules, and learned about the team's daily schedule and the workload of all the drivers. When he checked the time, it was already time to leave work.
Qin Yu picked up the documents and calmly walked out of the office.
"Captain." Many drivers had returned after completing their missions and were asking Old Li about his day.
Old Li is also waiting to see if he can complete today's task, as this directly affects his standing among all the drivers. He can't let anything happen to them.
As all the drivers completed their tasks for the day, Mr. Li's tense mood gradually relaxed, and he felt confident of victory.
Everyone was startled when Qin Yu suddenly walked out of the office.
Unable to resist looking at Lao Li, Lao Li did not disappoint them. As he stood up to report to Qin Yu, Qin Yu nodded to all the drivers.
"Comrades, you've worked hard. I've already addressed what happened this morning. If you can complete today's tasks without delay, this matter will be considered closed, and it won't happen again! Alright, those without tasks can go home!"
Qin Yu's words successfully silenced Old Li, who was already on the verge of speaking; Qin Yu had said everything.
The stunned crowd watched as Qin Yu simply took the documents and left work.
"Are you alright? Phew!"
"Very good!"
The drivers all breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows they had been driving like mad today, afraid of missing their mission and getting caught by Qin Yu, the new official.
Now that everything is finally alright, Qin Yu can go home first, and everyone relaxes immediately, as if they have survived a disaster.
Old Li frowned, watching Qin Yu's retreating figure. Qin Yu's two casual words had ruined his entire day's preparations.
The drivers patted Old Li on the shoulder and then happily went home from get off work.
Old Li felt extremely aggrieved.
This Qin Yu was not the kind of person he thought he was.
Qin Yu hurried to Xia Lan's factory area, but after waiting for a long time, Xia Lan still didn't come out.
Upon seeing a familiar face, Qin Yu immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Excuse me, are you Xia Lan's colleague? I'd like to ask, what's keeping my wife waiting? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Liu Ning stared at Qin Yu, stunned. "You're Xia Lan's husband, aren't you?"
"Yes." Qin Yu nodded. "Is my wife busy?"
“She…” Liu Ning frowned. How could he explain to Qin Yu that Xia Lan had been persuaded to go home by Li Jianmin because of unfair treatment?
"What's wrong with her?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was off with Liu Ning.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ning was immediately overwhelmed and told Qin Yu about Xia Lan's situation.
After listening, Qin Yu took a deep breath.
Without saying anything, he turned and walked directly towards the phone booth.
You think it's okay to bully his wife? Then let them see what real relationships are!
Qin Yu dialed the number with a cold face.
After a few words, Qin Yu snorted and turned to buy some of his wife's favorite dishes. He even went to the department store to buy chocolates to go home and coax his wife.
When Qin Yu got home and found the house completely silent, he went to the bedroom.
Then I saw Xia Lan lying on the bed, having fallen asleep sometime earlier.
Curled up on the bed, listless, like an injured kitten.
The kitten, who was always lively and energetic in his presence, had droopy ears, looked listless, and had a timid and aggrieved expression.
This made Qin Yu frown in annoyance.
"Lanlan?" Qin Yu walked to Xia Lan's side and picked her up.
Xia Lan slowly opened her eyes upon hearing Qin Yu's voice.
