"Huo Chenggang is quite evil. He cheated on his wife for several years. She only gave birth when she was young. He wasted her time for nothing."
One gay man couldn't help but say, "I don't think so. Isn't it always women's fault if they can't have children?"
The female comrade immediately retorted, "What era is this? Even if you don't read books, you should at least read the newspaper occasionally. Your seeds are bad. No matter how fertile the field is, it won't grow any crops."
Even the auntie who was sweeping the floor got involved. "Is this disease not contagious? I helped him wash the cups a few days ago. No, I'm going to the infirmary later."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, everyone sitting in Huo Chenggang's office felt itchy.
Now the male comrades had no mood to support him. They were all terrified, afraid that they would become extinct like him. Some said they would burn mugwort to sterilize it, and some said they would go to the infirmary to get alcohol for disinfection. After a while, they dispersed.
Sitting at his workstation, He Ruixue held the cup in his hand and pondered.
Hu Xiaojing wouldn't suddenly come to her by name. Someone must have done something. Could it be Huo Chenggang? He wanted to go to the exchange meeting, so he spared no effort to ruin his reputation?
But he shouldn't use himself as a raft, after all, he is really not innocent.
During lunch, the anecdotes about Group 3 Huo Chenggang had spread from the cafeteria and quickly spread throughout the department store, and even several leaders above had heard about it.
Huo Chenggang did not come to work in the afternoon, but Hu Xiaojing's parents, Hu Jianjun, came to the door with gloomy faces and said something to the secretary.
Secretary Xiao Li was standing next to them at the time. He was a well-known leaker. He told the story right after the other person left. Of course, he had the secretary's tacit approval.
This matter was too big. He Ruixue saw several people gathered together and talked non-stop while drinking water.
For example: Huo Chenggang actually married into the family as a son-in-law, so Hu Xiaojing did not usually live with her in-laws.
For example: The Hu family did not provide many resources to this son-in-law, so he was dissatisfied and naturally had a bad attitude towards Hu Xiaojing.
Also: The Hu family thought that their daughter was unable to give birth to a child, so they tolerated him many times. However, this time the examination showed that he was indeed unable to give birth, and his body was almost ruined because of his excessive promiscuity.
Hu Jianjun insisted on their divorce and kicked Huo Chenggang out. He also told the secretary that he "voluntarily" resigned due to health reasons, leaving the purchasing position vacant.
Hearing this, Xia Lingqing interrupted the person who came to deliver the message, "Wait a minute, there hasn't been any major mistakes in his work, how can he just throw it away?"
"You don't know, Hu Xiaojing's father and the secretary are old classmates. It was the Hu family who helped to get him the job. They chose him because he was honest, hardworking, and tall. Who knew it would turn out like this?"
"Are they really getting a divorce?"
"Otherwise, the Hu family only has one daughter in this generation. In the past, Huo Chenggang was allowed to marry into the family in order to continue the family line. Now that he is useless, of course we have to choose someone else.
If you can't find a three-legged toad, isn't it hard to find a man without a wife? But his family should have learned their lesson and should definitely take the man to the hospital for a checkup before getting married."
"This is..." Xia Lingqing looked strange. Checking certain functions before marriage is undoubtedly a humiliating thing for a man. "Does anyone agree to this?"
He Ruixue disagreed. "Not to mention the countryside, there are many unemployed people in our city. What kind of wealth does the Hu family have? As long as they can get a job, not to mention marrying into the family, even being a concubine to Hu Xiaojing's father would be a lot of people willing."
"You're right. Hu Xiaojing was unlucky back then and didn't get to go to the countryside. It's so hard to find a job now. Maybe she can find a high school student. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
"Oh, by the way, Ruixue, I heard someone wrote a letter of complaint to the secretary, saying that there was an improper relationship between you and the head of the purchasing department. The secretary didn't believe it and thought it was probably Huo Chenggang who did it.
It must be because you were given the spot for the exchange meeting he was eyeing that he held a grudge against you and spread rumors about you. Brother Xie thought so too. I just realized that Huo Chenggang has been saying bad things about you behind his back these past few days. How despicable.
Xia Lingqing was furious. "What a mean-spirited man! Why didn't I see how petty he was before? He deserves to lose his job! Ruixue, don't take it to heart. The people are very discerning, and the secretary is on your side."
"Yes, the secretary didn't tell anyone about this for your reputation's sake. Secretary Li only spoke to me a little more when he heard I was coming to see you. He also asked me to remind you to be careful after get off work. I was really worried that Huo Chenggang would get desperate and block the road to retaliate against you."
Xia Lingqing said worriedly, "Yes, Ruixue, I'll accompany you after get off work from now on, okay?"
He Ruixue smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Xia. No need. I'll let my eldest brother pick me up from now on."
"It's good that you know what's going on, but you're really unlucky. You've only been at the company for a short time, and already two men are rushing to slander you.
I think they picked on you because you're so pretty. Whether it's true or not, they feel proud to be mentioned alongside you."
"Sister Xia, I'm not that good."
"Yes! Aren't your parents planning to find a partner for you? Haven't they found the right one yet?
It's not easy for a girl like you to come forward when you encounter something like this. If you care, those people will get more excited. If you don't care, people will say you're guilty. If you have a boyfriend, I'll ask him to beat him up every time he hears about it, and see if they dare to say anything more."
Speaking of dating, He Ruixue's mind inexplicably emerged with a beautiful face. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xia. My mom is quite picky, but it should be soon."
There were a lot of things going on today. On the way home, He Ruixue was still thinking about who wrote the letter of complaint to the secretary, and who instigated Hu Xiaojing to run to the department store and make a scene.
She always felt that the two were the same person. As for the secretary's guess that it was Huo Chenggang, the possibility was not high.
He Ruixue did not ask Hu Xiaojing at that time because she felt that the other party was cautious and asking would not yield any results. Even the secretary could not find out who delivered the letter, so that person certainly would not show up in person for others to see.
However, there are not many people who have grudges against her, and it is not difficult to guess who it is after narrowing the scope, but what is the motive?
To make her lose her job? But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the story between her and Huo Chenggang was completely nonsense, and the higher-ups wouldn't transfer her or even fire her just because of some groundless rumors.
He Ruixue is used to overestimating her opponents. Although this matter is harmless and seems like a joke, she will not laugh at her opponent's failure. She is just worried that this is just one link in the game and she has already entered the game.
The person behind the scenes wants her to be complacent and careless, as the real killer move is likely hidden behind.
