"Okay, then you guys go mend your skirts, I'm going to eat." Fang Qiao said to Xiao Jing, "Give An An to me."
"good."
Just as Fang Qiao took An'an into his arms, he heard the loudspeaker on the rooftop not far away.
"Dear comrades, good morning, it is now eight o'clock in the morning..."
After the regular broadcast ended, the announcer continued in a sweet voice: "That concludes today's broadcast. Next, Comrade Sun Shuyi will read a heartfelt apology letter to Comrade Fang Qiao, the family member of Director Cheng of the R&D Department, to express her sincerest apologies."
"..."
After the announcer finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time, and the radio fell into an awkward silence.
Chen Guizhi pouted: "If you're going to apologize, apologize properly. It's really tiresome to pull this stunt at the last minute."
Fang Qiao was also speechless.
If you don't want to apologize, why go to the radio station?
Making such a scene only brought shame and displeasure from the leadership; it did absolutely nothing good.
An eerie silence hung over the radio, broken only by the occasional faint crackling of electricity.
After a brief silence, Sun Shuyi's trembling, tearful voice finally broke through: "Dear factory leaders, I... I am Sun Shuyi. I have deeply realized my mistake and I am deeply sorry for the damage to Comrade Qiao's reputation. I apologized to her in person yesterday and am willing to compensate her with thirty-five yuan for emotional distress..."
Compared to the broadcaster's sweet, steady voice and clear pronunciation, Sun Shuyi's voice was far inferior.
Even reading from the script was halting and stumbling. Not only was the voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but the pronunciation was also unclear, and key words were even more indistinct. The difference in skill level was immediately apparent when compared.
She read a short script, which wasn't very long, for several minutes, until even the announcer couldn't take it anymore and her tone was clearly helpless when she went off-air.
Sun Shuyi was so emotionally distraught that she was sobbing uncontrollably when she finally ran out of the broadcasting station. But that wasn't the worst part for her.
To her utter dismay, she saw the newly posted notice of punishment on the bulletin board, which detailed her penalty.
Another job transfer and pay cut.
She was transferred from a factory worker position to a canteen last time. Although she was unhappy, she could tolerate it, since working at the canteen's food serving window wasn't too tiring.
This time, however, she was transferred from the cafeteria to the public restroom.
The pharmaceutical factory had a large number of workers, and there were four public toilets in the factory, all of which were open-air dry toilets, stretching for more than ten meters with hundreds of squatting toilets. They were smelly and dirty, and the workload was heavy. It was the worst job in the entire factory, and no one wanted to do it except for an old man with a particularly bad class background.
Sun Shuyi was completely devastated.
She didn't want to do it, so she went to Yang Xiu and tried to persuade her to change her mind, but Yang Xiu was heartless and ignored her completely.
Annoyed by her constant pestering, he retorted, "If you don't want to work, you can quit."
Upon hearing this, Sun Shuyi immediately wilted.
She dared not quit her job.
Given her family's social class, if she loses her job, the neighborhood committee will definitely send her to the countryside within half a month.
Life in the countryside was so hard. His brother was sent down to the countryside and couldn't even live in a proper house. He lived in a thatched shack that was drafty in winter and scorching hot in summer. Whenever it rained, it would rain heavily outside and drizzle inside.
Not only do they have to do farm work, but they also have to collect manure and compost it. It's better to stay at the factory and clean the public toilets.
Before she could even mentally prepare herself, the logistics department staff came to urge her to start work. They even thoughtfully brought her some tools: in addition to the usual broom and dustpan, there was also a shovel, a rake, and a large brush, the functions of which were self-evident.
Sun Shuyi looked at the tools, and before she even started working, she had already started vomiting.
But no matter how much you resist, you still have to go to work.
She was used to being arrogant in the factory, and she never kept her mouth shut. There were a lot of people who couldn't stand her. Whether she was really going to the toilet or pretending, the public toilet was always packed with people in the morning.
Some people even deliberately struck up a conversation with her, asking her how it was to work in a public restroom.
How about it?
It's terribly bad, what else can you expect?
This group of people are clearly asking a question they already know the answer to, deliberately trying to make a fool of her!
Sun Shuyi was so angry she almost cried.
But this was just the beginning of Sun Shuyi's breakdown. After finishing her work at noon, she felt that there was an indescribable smell on her body, perhaps due to psychological reasons. She washed and wiped herself repeatedly after returning to the dormitory before taking her lunchbox to the cafeteria.
The staff at the food serving window where she used to work had changed; it was now the vegetable washer, with whom she had never gotten along. Because she was overweight, she had often been ridiculed by the new staff.
When Sun Shuyi saw her, she immediately turned around and went to another window to get her food, but the person did not let her go.
"Hey, Sun Shuyi? Did you clean the toilets and wash up before coming to the cafeteria for food? Why do I feel a poop smell coming from you when you passed by me?"
The plump woman deliberately raised her voice, and the loud sound instantly echoed throughout the entire cafeteria.
In an instant, Sun Shuyi was overwhelmed by countless strange looks.
Sun Shuyi was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
She suppressed the urge to run away and finished getting her food with tears in her eyes.
As he left with his lunchbox, he heard a cold snort from the fat woman behind him: "Shameless!"
*
Sun Shuyi received the punishment she deserved, and Fang Qiao stopped paying attention to her situation.
May Day arrived quickly, and Fang Qiao, as planned, took her family into the city.
The five-story department store was enormous, with countless goods displayed on each floor. Although the sales staff seemed indifferent, it didn't dampen people's enthusiasm for shopping at all.
