The next day, Hua Li woke up early and carried Luo Yan back to the compound.
The compound was under martial law, with many more guards at the entrance, and everyone entering and leaving had to be checked.
Hua Li carried Luo Yan through the check-up and returned home to start washing up and cooking.
Luo Yan got up too early and went back to sleep on the sofa.
Hua Li woke Luo Yan up to eat, and after eating, she took Luo Yan to work.
Luo Yan can't go to kindergarten for the time being, and Xiao Xiu is in the hospital. Hua Li doesn't want to take time off, so she has to take Luo Yan to work.
Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Hua Li led Luo Yan through the employee entrance, and before they even reached their workstations, they saw Liu Fengling standing behind the counter.
Liu Fengling also saw Hua Li, and her face turned ugly. She pretended to look at Hua Li with disdain.
"Come out..." Hua Li ordered Liu Fengling without any politeness.
Liu Fengling didn't take Hua Li seriously at all.
"You're about to resign, what are you doing here? Get out of here."
After saying that, Liu Fengling waved her hand impatiently at Hua Li, as if shooing away flies.
"Who told you I was resigning? Get out here right now."
With Fang Aihua backing her up, Liu Fengling wasn't afraid of Hua Li at all. But the more she was in the situation, the more she couldn't expose Fang Aihua. Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Liu Fengling quickly tried to make amends.
"With your job lasting only one day and two days off, what are you trying to do if you don't quit or drag everyone down?"
If some people don't come, others have to take more shifts. Liu Fengling's intention is to stir up other people's dissatisfaction with Hua Li.
Hua Li was indeed in the wrong on this matter, so she didn't argue with Liu Fengling.
"Liu Fengling, don't think you're off the hook just because Wang Sheng took all the blame. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. You kidnapped my child, and the police will find evidence sooner or later."
Tell me, would people tolerate someone who takes a few extra days off due to a family emergency, and then expect to be equally willing to work extra shifts whenever someone else has an emergency? Or would they tolerate working with a criminal?
It was during working hours, and when everyone came in and heard the arguing, they all gathered around and expressed their opinions.
“What’s wrong with taking a few extra days off because of family matters? Everyone gets paid more for their shifts. It’s not like we’re not getting paid. Why do you, someone who’s already been fired, need to be here making comments?”
Xiao Yanru brought Liu Qiang and Wang Wei, both tall and strong, to block Liu Fengling's path and pointed at Liu Fengling, asking her questions.
"If you're not an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative, how did you get in? Did someone let you in, or did you have another episode and come to steal something?"
Liu Fengling has a bad reputation and is most afraid of being accused of stealing, so she hurriedly retorted loudly.
"I didn't, don't make false accusations."
Hua Li immediately pressed on, asking, "If you didn't sneak in, then someone let you in. Who was it?"
Liu Fengling had no idea that Hua Li's tongue had become so sharp after just a few days apart, leaving her stammering and unable to keep up.
Xiao Yanru said, "Don't waste your breath on her. Liu Qiang, Wang Wei, arrest her and send her to the police. If we don't teach this kind of person a lesson, she'll dare to come back next time. We can't let her get away with this."
Liu Qiang and Wang Wei grabbed Liu Fengling like she was a chick, and were about to take her to the police station.
Fang Aihua stood on the periphery of the crowd and listened for a long time. Seeing that the incident was about to escalate to the police station, she quickly spoke up to stop it.
When the crowd saw that it was Fang Aihua, they automatically and consciously made way for her.
Fang Aihua gave Liu Fengling a reassuring look and stood still, speaking loudly.
“The police officers work very hard. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill and go to the police for everything. Liu Fengling, come with me. Everyone, go home.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang and Wang Wei released Liu Fengling. Liu Fengling glanced triumphantly at Hua Li and walked towards Fang Aihua, but Hua Li blocked her way.
"You're not allowed to leave..."
Liu Fengling rolled her eyes at Hua Li with disdain, "What right do you have to stop me from leaving? You really think you're something special, huh?"
Fang Aihua also said, "Hua Li, instead of wasting your time causing trouble for Liu Fengling, you should think about whether you can take fewer days off and contribute more to the country in the future."
If Hua Li had been scolded like this in the past, she would have cried from grievance, but the current Hua Li doesn't care.
Hua Li sneered, "I want to contribute more to the country, but I can't be a sucker for no reason."
"Liu Fengling can leave, but only after I've taken inventory of the stock."
As she spoke, Hua Li took out her notebook from her backpack, opened the last page, and held it up in her hand, twirling it around.
“Everyone, take a look. I keep a record every day. If anything is missing, it’s because Liu Fengling took it.”
Liu Fengling retorted, "Why do you say I took it? Why can't it be that you lost it?"
Hua Li snorted, "Do you think I'm keeping these records for fun? If I really cheated, it would be easy to find out."
As she spoke, Hua Li took out the key and went to the counter to check the lock.
The locks on the cabinet doors had already been opened, Hua Li immediately pointed out.
"Liu Fengling, where did you get the key?"
Liu Fengling couldn't answer, and Fang Aihua was also surprised.
"You must take him to the police station. Get out of here right now."
Hua Li reached out and pulled Liu Fengling.
Liu Fengling, who was strong from years of hard work, tried to push Hua Li, but failed. Hua Li then shoved her against the counter.
Luo Yan dragged over a bundle of ropes, each about an inch thick, used for tying up goods, and placed it at Hua Li's feet. Her strength was so great that it shocked everyone.
Hua Li picked up a rope and tied Liu Fengling up.
Liu Fengling felt that Hua Li's hand was like an iron clamp and she couldn't break free. She panicked when Hua Li picked her up and was about to take her to the police station.
"Director Fang, you're the one who put me in charge, you can't just abandon me."
Hua Li wanted to force Liu Fengling to reveal Fang Aihua's identity, and sure enough, Liu Fengling confessed immediately after being threatened.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fang Aihua's expression changed, but it was too late for her to back down.
Hua Li was indignant. "Director Fang, I already told you yesterday that I would not take any more leave. Why did you still let Liu Fengling fire me? What good does that do you?"
Now that the veil of secrecy has been lifted, Fang Aihua has openly admitted it.
“Liu Fengling has always been conscientious and responsible at work. She is never late or leaves early, and she will not take leave even if there is a major family matter. This is exactly the kind of employee our supply and marketing cooperative needs. Is there a problem with me letting her come back to replace you, who takes leave every day?”
"Of course there's a problem..."
After Chen Yuanshan finished speaking loudly, he walked up to Fang Aihua with a fair-skinned middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Secretary Zhou!" Fang Aihua recognized the middle-aged man as the mayor's secretary, and cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
"Fang Aihua, someone has reported that you are abusing your power for personal gain, colluding with lawbreakers, and attempting to sow discord among our revolutionary ranks. What do you have to say about that?"
Fang Aihua panicked completely. "I didn't. I only asked Hua Li to temporarily replace Hua Li because Hua Li was always taking leave and Liu Fengling was having financial difficulties. I did not abuse my power for personal gain."
Hua Li ruthlessly exposed, "After get off work yesterday, Fang Aihua and Liu Fengling hid in the alley and plotted to kick me out of the supply and marketing cooperative, but they didn't say that she was to temporarily replace me."
Fang Aihua hurriedly defended herself, "You're lying, I didn't..."
