This incident caused a lot of controversy a while ago. People in every corner of the factory were talking about it, and it was the hottest gossip topic in the cafeteria during those days.
Not to mention Gu Qi, even Xiao Huzi's ears were callused from listening to it!
Gu Qi is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. He just listens to what others say and never interrupts.
Even though he only heard it once, as a science major, he could only figure out a few suspicious clues.
Hearing what the driver said, Gu Qi couldn't help but retort, "He said that I must be responsible for him and marry him, so Nishang has to marry him? Where was he hurt? Who hurt him? You can ask the judicial department to solve it, why force others like this? Who gave him the right to do whatever he wants? Who does he think he is?"
If he didn't know his alcohol tolerance, he would have thought he was drunk and heard it wrong!
The driver frowned and said, "Engineer Gu, you are not from Yucheng, you don't know how powerful the Pan family is! They have been working in the post office since their ancestors, and almost all of the family has been working in the post office. Even the gossip girls who are related to the family can work as temporary workers in the post office to clean the place!"
"Post office?" Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "Just because you're employed by the government, you can do whatever you want?"
The driver groaned and shook his head, "That's not true. But the post office has always been the most lucrative job. Sending money, making phone calls, sending letters, and even ordering books and newspapers can all be done at the post office. Every family has to go to the post office, right? Because of this, wherever the Pan family goes, people always give them face and curry favor with them. The entire Pan family is used to being so arrogant."
Chen Xingling pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "They are arrogant and unreasonable, but Principal Li is a person who knows the law and abides by it. Principal Li is a high-level intellectual, and Li Nishang is a high school graduate. It is impossible for him to let them do whatever they want."
We live in a society ruled by law and the people, not the evil old society.
Principal Xu has only one daughter, Xu Nishang. How could he allow the Pan family to do whatever they want?
Director Guo smiled bitterly, "A scholar is like a soldier, and he can't explain himself clearly. The old man really told them not to do anything wrong, but he couldn't stand their fabrications. The kid surnamed Pan admired Nichang, and he had given Nichang's family some expensive gifts before, including a gold ring, and lied to the public that he and Nichang were already engaged. They said it with such confidence that others could not help but believe it."
"No wonder Principal Xu is so worried..." Chen Xingling remembered that Teacher Lin said that the principal was so worried that he became sick, and secretly felt sorry for the old man's difficulties.
Director Guo lowered his voice and explained, "In fact, I have known my husband for quite some time and we have a good relationship. Although Nichang is willful and arrogant, she calls me 'uncle'. If she really does something wrong, I, as an elder, cannot sit idly by. I was not in good health a while ago, and I heard that several logistics workers had a fight with a foreign man at the factory gate because of Nichang. But because it was just a minor fight between young people, I didn't take it seriously. Who knew that the Pan family took advantage of the situation and the situation became more and more tense and ugly."
Gu Qi asked: "Has the situation not been resolved yet? Why don't you call the police?"
"It's still unresolved." Director Guo frowned and explained, "The Pan family always said that they were engaged to the family, and that Nichang had an affair with a factory worker. After all, Nichang is a girl waiting to be married, and her reputation cannot be slandered like this! I want to find a doctor to assess the injury of that kid Pan, but he is very cunning and refuses to cooperate at all. He always says that he has injured his internal organs, and the medical expenses must be borne by the person who beat him up."
Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are his parents? They don't even give you face?"
The entire Pan family is in the post office circle and is a "famous" large family in Chongqing. I believe they should also know Director Guo's family.
Since Director Guo was able to take the initiative to come forward, it was impossible for them to not even give him face.
"It's considered a small favor." Director Guo explained: "I specifically talked to the head of the Pan family, and he said that he could be discharged from the hospital and recuperate at home, and the final medical expenses would be paid. The guys in the logistics department are relieved, and at least half of their salary was spent. But Nishang... I'm afraid it will be difficult."
The driver curled his lips and whispered, "Our factory beauty doesn't like that Pan kid at all. Every time he waits at the factory gate, she doesn't like to pay attention to him. Recently, the Pan family has been spreading rumors about engagement. She was almost crying and even ran to the hospital to scold that kid."
Chen Xingling listened and said, "The flower has feelings but the water is ruthless. If Nishang doesn't want to get married, they can't force her to marry."
Director Guo frowned and whispered, "They are entangled and even fabricated, just to make Nichang back down and force her to marry. This incident has become known to everyone. If Nichang does not marry, I guess no one will dare to ask for her hand in marriage in the future. Firstly, it is because of her reputation, and secondly, it is because of the pressure from the Pan family. After all, the Pan family is still quite powerful in Yucheng."
He can help the workers in the factory, but he may not be able to help Nishang.
Right now this incident has caused quite a stir in the city.
Nichang is a girl after all. Even if she knew that the Pan family had set a trap for her, and even if they could rescue her and let her escape, her reputation would have been ruined, which would still be a fatal blow to her.
He and his husband knew very well how important a girl's reputation was, so they were very cautious and didn't know what to do.
The driver smiled bitterly: "The old principal is so sick! The factory director went to see him and comforted him not to be sad. The old man is in a terrible mental state, it's really pitiful to see him!"
Chen Xingling couldn't help but feel sorry for the old principal, who was kind, talented, and caring for his students, but he was so angry at such a "terrible thing" that he was bedridden.
She had received a lot of encouragement from the old principal at Chongyi School and had a good impression of him. She really couldn't bear to see him suffer like this.
"Director Guo, do you have any good ideas?"
Director Guo sighed and shook his head, "I'm in a dilemma too. I don't know what to do. Nichang is so proud and arrogant that she would never marry someone she doesn't like. In addition, Laozi is a decent person and doesn't like bullying, so he doesn't like the Pan family at all. He doesn't want Nichang to marry him either. After all, if she marries someone with such a despicable character, she won't be able to live long in the future."
Gu Qi, who had not spoken a word, asked calmly, "If that's the case, how did you end up offending the Pan family?"
"Nichang's mother arranged a blind date for her." Director Guo explained, "She is short-sighted and has no foresight. She just listens to whatever others say. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in blaming anyone. We can only find a way to get out of this quagmire as soon as possible, so as not to be harmed by the Pan family."
Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "The one who tied the bell should be the one who untied it. Whoever introduced the Pan family to you in the first place can be found and forced to tell the truth. Then, publish an announcement in the newspaper that the Pan family is not engaged."
Director Guo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded slowly.
"Perhaps—it is a possible solution."
After a pause, he still said with some worry: "That kid Pan is very cunning, Nichang is no match for him at all. Even if someone can clarify the matter, I'm worried that kid will still be entangled."
Chen Xingling thought for a moment and said, "People like him will probably value face more than anything else. The factory flower is also a proud and arrogant person, so she should know how to get rid of it."
Director Guo smiled bitterly: "Nichang looks smart, but in fact she is just a little smart. If she knew how to handle it, the situation would not have reached this point."
Chen Xingling's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of Jia Shuanghua's three turns and one ring earlier, and he soon had an idea in his mind.
"In order to retreat, it is better to offer the other party the highest conditions in her mind, so that the other party will have to retreat in the face of difficulties."
Director Guo was not very interested and asked, "What is the highest condition?"
"Yeah." Chen Xingling laughed jokingly, "The flower in the factory is so beautiful, it's impossible for her to want jewels and gems, right? It's impossible for her to want a thousand taels of gold, right? It's impossible for her to want an imported car, right?"
Director Guo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Good idea! Good idea!"
