Huang Yao stood nervously at the door, hesitant to go in. After a while, she finally mustered up the courage to open the door and go in. Seeing several people staring at her at the same time, she became even more flustered.
Huang Yao asked in a low voice, "Secretary Lin, Director Li, is there something you need from me?"
Secretary Lin hummed in agreement, his eyes fixed on her, not missing a single emotion: "Comrade Huang, please tell me what happened that day, and also, don't try to fabricate facts."
A hint of panic flashed in Huang Yao's eyes, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look up at Secretary Lin and the others. However, Secretary Lin and the others saw her reaction in that second and immediately understood.
Seeing that Huang Yao remained silent, Li Jianjun grew impatient: "Why aren't you saying anything? Just explain what happened that day clearly. This dawdling is driving me crazy."
Huang Yao was startled by Li Jianjun's tone of voice. Her eyes reddened, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head.
"It wasn't me. It was Sister Fang who had her eye on the propaganda officer position for a long time in order to arrange a job for her niece. But Comrade Xu took it, so Sister Fang planned to make things difficult for Comrade Xu and force her to leave."
"Secretary Lin, Director Li, it really has nothing to do with me. If I hadn't listened to Sister Fang, I would have been the next one to leave."
After listening, Secretary Lin watched her remain silent and only cry, and asked in confusion, "What happened next, Comrade Huang? You haven't told us how you made things difficult for Comrade Xu, or about Comrade Fang fainting."
Huang Yao paused in wiping away her tears, bit her lip, glanced at Xu Qingqing, and dared not speak.
Seeing that Huang Yao remained silent, Secretary Lin glanced in Xu Qingqing's direction, frowning in confusion. Director Li, however, knew the reason. He leaned down and whispered in Huang Yao's ear, recounting how Xu Qingqing had hit Huang Yao that day.
Secretary Lin instantly understood and couldn't help but feel sorry for Huang Yao. "Why did you have to provoke Xu Qingqing of all people? It's like an old man hanging himself, you're tired of living!"
Xu Qingqing was filing her nails when she noticed someone watching her. She looked up and saw Secretary Lin and Factory Director Li staring at her with strange looks in their eyes.
"Why are you looking at me? Go do your own thing and don't bother me while I'm doing my nails." Xu Qingqing said and continued to work on the remaining nails, as if she were there to be a spectator rather than one of the people involved.
Secretary Lin and Factory Director Li exchanged a glance, both able to see the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.
Secretary Lin wanted to press Huang Yao further, but Huang Yao refused to say anything more.
As time passed, Xu Qingqing yawned, almost falling asleep while waiting, before Fang Xiaomei finally arrived late, her hand that Xu Qingqing had broken already bandaged.
When Li Jianjun saw Fang Xiaomei arrive, his expression changed. He immediately stepped forward to help her up, grinning foolishly at her, and said in a carefully ingratiating tone, "Wife, be careful with your injured hand. I'll stew some pig's feet for you tonight to help you recover."
Fang Xiaomei immediately glared at him and warned him in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Shut up! Can't you use your brain? What if you get caught stealing ingredients from the factory to take home?"
As he spoke, he used his good left hand to pinch the soft flesh on her waist hard. Li Jianjun was not angry. He even held Fang Xiaomei's glaring hand and chuckled foolishly.
Xu Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the two flirting. She shuddered and got goosebumps all over her body. Secretary Lin and Factory Director Li also got goosebumps and couldn't bear to look at the two of them.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but clap her hands to interrupt, "I said, you two, that's enough! If you want to show off your love, go home. If you do it here, I'm afraid even God won't stand it and will slap you both to death."
Fang Xiaomei was furious. Realizing that all of this was thanks to Xu Qingqing, she couldn't help but want to tear Xu Qingqing's heart apart. Pointing at her, she cursed, "You little bitch!"
Hearing Fang Xiaomei's extremely vicious curses, Xu Qingqing's face instantly turned gloomy. She suddenly stood up and rushed towards Fang Xiaomei, so fast that no one could react in time.
Then came a muffled groan from a man, and Li Jianjun stepped in front of Fang Xiaomei, taking the punch for her.
Fang Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. This man was actually quite useful. She hadn't wanted Li Jianjun when the old lady had chosen him for her.
At that time, she already had someone she liked. Except for his family background, he was better than Li Jianjun, a rough and uncultured man, in every way. Unfortunately, the old lady didn't like him and disliked that her boyfriend's family was poor.
Unlike Li Jianjun, whose family is well-off and can provide some support to his family in the future.
So she was forced to break up with the person she liked and marry Li Jianjun.
Fortunately, Li Jianjun was indeed easy to control, just as the old lady said. She believed everything she said, and even her mother-in-law, though angry, dared not vent her anger on her when she saw Li Jianjun sending things from home to her parents' house.
After all, she was the only grandson of the Li family.
That's right, another reason Fang Xiaomei was unwilling was that Li Jianjun was older than her and was a divorcee. His first wife had given birth to three girls, but then stopped having children and was kicked out by her mother-in-law.
Later, through an introduction, we found her family because they were good at having children. Apart from her and her two nieces, all the rest of the babies were boys.
Fang Xiaomei hadn't recovered from her reverie when a sudden pain in her mouth snapped her back to reality. She found Li Jianjun curled up on the ground.
Fang Xiaomei felt something foreign in her mouth, then spat out two bloody teeth into her palm. Looking at those teeth, Fang Xiaomei completely lost control and rushed towards Xu Qingqing:
"Xu Qingqing, I'll fight you to the death—"
Xu Qingqing looked disgusted and immediately hid to the side. Fang Xiaomei was so angry that she didn't notice Li Jianjun under her feet and tripped and fell to the ground.
The others were stunned by the sight, watching helplessly as she fell face-first to the ground, followed by heart-wrenching screams.
It turned out that when Fang Xiaomei fell to the ground, her injured hand pressed heavily against the ground due to the force of her forward movement.
Xu Qingqing sat back down in her chair and spread her hands: "This is not my fault, she tripped and fell to the ground herself."
The next second, a gloating expression appeared on his face: "Who told her to walk without looking where she's going? There was such a big person blocking her way, and she couldn't even see him. Now look what happened, she's a cripple."
She heard it clearly: the hand she had broken off slammed to the ground and shattered once again.
After being hit hard twice in a row, it's no wonder his hand is ruined.
Secretary Lin was also helpless in the face of this situation, and quickly called for someone to send him to the hospital, otherwise it would be too late.
He turned back to Xu Qingqing with a headache: "Can't you just hold your temper a little and wait until things are settled before talking about it?"
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes and retorted, "If I cursed your whole family like she did, could you handle it?"
Secretary Lin was speechless; he truly could not tolerate this.
