Early in the morning, Xu Qingqing followed Bo Jingran to the steel plant.
Factory Director Li had already informed the security guards at the gate that Xu Qingqing could come in directly without registering.
Xu Qingqing walked into Director Li's office, arms crossed: "Tell me, how do you want to persuade me this time?"
Factory Director Li smiled and gestured for Xu Qingqing to sit down, which she did.
Factory Director Li began to talk to Xu Qingqing about the series of good things that had happened since he started working with Situ Kong. He talked until his throat was dry before finally stopping and taking a sip of water from the glass on the table.
Then, he looked at Xu Qingqing with anticipation, waiting for her to give him the answer he wanted to hear.
But Xu Qingqing's next words instantly disappointed him.
Xu Qingqing shook her head and refused, saying, "I will not agree to cooperate with Situ Kong."
First, I am very clear about my own abilities; I am not cut out for mechanical engineering.
Secondly, Bo Jingran has a stronger talent for mechanics than anyone else. You can ask Situ Kong to find Bo Jingran.
As for the third point, I'll say the same thing again. My abilities are insufficient; let Situ Kong find someone else.
She only managed to manufacture the tractor by taking shortcuts; asking her to manufacture other machinery would be like asking her to die. She wouldn't do it.
Factory Director Li sighed and tried to persuade Xu Qingqing, but Xu Qingqing directly waved her hand and refused.
"Director Li, please stop trying to persuade me. You should use your time to let Bo Jingran go. If you give Bo Jingran time to grow, with his talent, it will be a piece of cake."
Factory Director Li's lips twitched. Seeing Xu Qingqing shamelessly praising Bo Jingran like this, he thought, "No one else can do that."
Seeing Xu Qingqing's resolute attitude, Director Li thought it over and decided to use Xu Qingqing's idea to introduce Bo Jingran to her. Whether it worked out or not, the higher-ups wouldn't blame him.
Then he waved for Xu Qingqing to go back, but Xu Qingqing pouted and refused to leave. He didn't even offer her a meal and just wanted to send her away like that? No way!
Seeing that Xu Qingqing was still standing there, Director Li asked in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Just as Xu Qingqing opened her mouth to speak, there was a rapid knocking on the door. Before Director Li could reply, she opened the door anxiously and said, "Director Li, Engineer Xie was beaten up last night and the police were called. The police have arrived now."
"What! Xie Gong got beaten up!!"
Factory Director Li felt a wave of dizziness, cursing the murderer in his mind. The next moment, Xu Qingqing sneezed several times.
Factory Manager Li: "..."
Xu Qingqing retorted, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone sneeze before?"
After saying that, he rubbed his nose and was about to run away when he ran into several policemen walking this way, with Bo Jingran in the middle.
Bo Jingran also saw her, blinked, and gestured for her to leave quickly.
Xu Qingqing instantly understood what Bo Jingran meant; he was such a good friend.
She was so moved she almost gave Bo Jingran a thumbs up, but thankfully she stopped herself in time, otherwise the misunderstanding could have been huge.
So Xu Qingqing tried to slip away along the corner of the wall, but Qin Gong'an greeted her with a smile: "Comrade Xu, we happen to have something to discuss with you."
Just as Xu Qingqing was about to refuse, Qin Gong'an took her back to Director Li's office without any room for argument.
Factory Director Li asked someone to bring him a few cups of hot water, and then asked with a smile, "Do you police officers suspect that the murderer is from our steel factory?"
Qin, the police officer, said: "We only have preliminary suspicions and no direct evidence."
According to Comrade Xie's account, Comrade Bo had an argument with him yesterday and had every motive to retaliate against him.
“It’s all just talk. Who knows if he can’t find the real culprit and is just trying to pin the blame on Bo Jingran?” Xu Qingqing interjected.
Factory Director Li glared at her, signaling Xu Qingqing to shut up, then turned his gaze to Officer Qin and said, "Officer, on behalf of the steel plant, I feel deeply sorry for Engineer Xie for what happened."
However, there's no evidence to suggest that Bo Jingran did it, so it's a difficult situation for our steel mill.
Qin Gong'an knew, of course, that everything required evidence, and that the victim's statement was not admissible as evidence.
Xu Qingqing nodded and followed up, "Officer Qin, we haven't even investigated Xie Zheng's beating of Bo Jingran yesterday, so why should he frame us?"
Everyone knows Bo Jingran is in poor health, yet Xie Zheng, that bastard, still attacked him. What kind of behavior is that?
"He wants me to be a young widow!"
Bo Jingran swayed and almost fell. Xu Qingqing quickly pointed at Bo Jingran and said, "Look at you, you can't even stand up straight."
Everyone stared at Xu Qingqing speechlessly. Bo Jingran's body looked perfectly normal, completely different from those who were unwell, and even his mental state was different.
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Xu Qingqing raised her voice and said, "You can go to the dam production team and ask them. You'll know whether I'm lying to you or not."
Qin Gong nodded: "We will investigate what you said. As for Comrade Xu, you are also a suspect of Comrade Xie."
Comrade Xu, could you please explain what you were doing yesterday? Is there any witness testimony to prove you were home last night?
Xu Qingqing lowered her head and gritted her teeth, thinking that she hadn't beaten him enough last night and would beat him again another day.
"Where am I supposed to find witnesses? I..."
Bo Jingran interrupted Xu Qingqing: "I did this, it has nothing to do with my wife. I hit Xie Zheng because he insulted my wife."
Xu Qingqing: "!"
Damn it, Bo Jingran, why did you steal my lines?
Xu Qingqing pointed at him angrily: "Get lost! I'm the one who hit Xie Zheng! I personally beat him into a pig's head!"
The two started arguing and no one could pull them apart. Just then, someone knocked on the door and came in, looking somewhat bewildered by the scene before them.
Factory Director Li noticed the man and frowned, asking, "Who are you? What brings you here?"
Yu Da nervously rubbed his hands together, swallowed repeatedly, and stammered, "I...I saw...I saw...no...it wasn't him last night."
After speaking, he pointed at Bojing and then immediately lowered his head.
Qin Gong'an pointed at Bo Jingran and asked Yu Da again, "Are you sure you saw him?"
Yu Da nodded: "Yes...it's him."
He wasn't mistaken last night; Bo Gong is so handsome, he couldn't have mistaken him for someone else.
After Qin Gong'an confirmed the information, he gave a look to his teammate next to him. Then, his teammate led Yu Da out, and they wanted to make sure that no one in the factory had seen Bo Jingran.
Qin Gong'an nodded to Bo Jingran and said in a conciliatory tone, "Comrade Bo, congratulations. Next, we will look for other witnesses to prove your innocence."
"As for Comrade Xu, you are still a suspect. We will investigate thoroughly. If you have any witnesses or physical evidence to prove your innocence, please inform us as soon as possible."
Xu Qingqing chuckled. She was the one who did this in the first place, so who could she find to be a witness?
No, she wanted to beat that bastard Xie Zheng one more time before turning herself in, Xu Qingqing silently plotted in her mind.
Xie Zheng, far away in the hospital, felt a chill run down his spine. He reached out to touch it but accidentally pulled at his wound, causing him to wince in pain.
I cursed the murderer once again.
