Chapter 268 Hoping to get him back to work
"Yes, I admit it. I did it, and I invited so many people over, but I would never have done it without Huang Lu's encouragement!"
Huang Lu was furious when she saw that Su Qiang was trying to drag her into this mess. She pointed at Su Qiang and started yelling, "You're slandering me! You were the one who lied to me first!"
The two used to have a good relationship, but now they argue until their faces are red, showing absolutely no manners.
Su Qiang used to treat Huang Lu very well, I never expected him to be like this now.
Huang Lu was angry.
Su Qiang should absolutely not try to pursue her anymore; he no longer has that chance!
After the two finished arguing, the factory manager gave the outcome: "Both of you are fired. You will have no further connection with the factory and must issue a public apology."
Su Qiang had worked at the factory for a long time; he was a long-time employee with a considerable income. Being fired now would be a fatal blow to him.
He felt like the sky had fallen. You have to know that he worked very hard to get to where he is now. Why did he listen to Huang Lu and ruin his future?
Looking back now, he shouldn't have stood up for Huang Lu. It was all because Huang Lu kept nagging him, and he was also tempted by her beauty, which is why he made such a mistake.
Huang Lu deserves to die.
Upon hearing the punishment, Huang Lu felt as if her world had collapsed. She pleaded, "Factory manager, I can't live without this job. My family is struggling financially, and I have two younger brothers to support. Can't you forgive me this time?"
The factory manager said, "I will not forgive you, and neither will anyone else."
That's the final decision.
At this moment, the factory manager said to Huo Chenzhou, "Commander Huo, as the factory manager, this is the most severe punishment I can give them. What do you think?"
Huo Chenzhou looked at Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "It will definitely be much quieter now that I won't see those two people at the factory anymore."
Huo Chenzhou nodded and said, "It's barely acceptable. I hope that such people will not appear in the factory again in the future. As the factory manager, you should also carefully select employees and not recruit people with bad character."
The factory manager said, "I will definitely pay attention in the future."
After the matter was settled, Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia went back. On the way back, Huo Chenzhou's expression remained serious, and he did not say a word.
Shen Zhixia couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What's wrong? Did these people make you angry?"
She wasn't angry at all. Perhaps she already knew what Su Qiang and Huang Lu were like, so she wasn't surprised that they had done something like this. Therefore, she really wasn't angry at all.
If she were to be petty and calculating with all sorts of awful people, then there would be no point in living life on her own terms. She should not let others lead her by the nose.
Huo Chenzhou said, "I just feel guilty for not protecting you well."
Love is about constantly feeling indebted. He feels indebted to Shen Zhixia right now, and he also feels sorry for her, always feeling that he has wronged her.
Shen Zhixia wasn't aggrieved at all. He looked at Huo Chenzhou with bright eyes and said, "I'm very grateful that you stood up for me. Look, the matter has been resolved satisfactorily. I won't run into them when I go to work anymore. I think this is a happy thing."
After this incident, Huang Lu was completely devastated. She had gone through a lot of connections to get this job, and she cherished it dearly.
Huang Lu is the second oldest child in her family. She has an older sister who is divorced and stays at home sponging off her parents without doing anything. She also has three younger brothers, who are her parents' darlings. The youngest brother is only seven years old, an age when they all need money.
She gave most of her earnings to her family, which was unavoidable. Fortunately, because she was good at earning money and had a respectable job, people treated her well. Although they had tried to persuade her to give up her job, Huang Lu knew that this was her last bargaining chip, and she absolutely could not give up her job.
So she worked peacefully for two years, but now she's lost her job. What should she do?
She didn't want to go back to the village. If she did, her parents would definitely marry her off to get a dowry.
She's so beautiful, of course she can't just marry anyone.
She had lofty ambitions and always felt that her life would be better.
After packing her things and leaving the factory, Huang Lu saw Su Qiang, who looked equally dejected. Her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Su Qiang: "Su Qiang, are you satisfied now? I've lost my job too."
She felt that her current misfortune was all because of Su Qiang. Su Qiang could have taken responsibility for all of this alone, but he refused, and in the end, he wanted her to pay the price as well.
Su Qiang has such a cruel heart.
"Come on, Huang Lu, put your hand on your heart and tell me, how have I treated you? I've spent a lot of money on you and bought you a lot of things. This time, you were the one who kept urging me to help you get revenge, which is why I planned this. Now that they want to settle scores with me, you're not helping me anymore, but instead betraying me."
Su Qiang was also furious. His job was the real value; if he were to sell it, it would fetch a huge sum of money. Of course, no one would sell such a good job.
He had worked hard for many years, rising through the ranks step by step. Now that he had been fired, his arch-enemy would take his place. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was choking on blood.
He liked Huang Lu, but it was also because Huang Lu was good-looking that he had lustful thoughts about her. Compared to his work, Huang Lu was nothing.
The thought that he had lost such a good job because of Huang Lu, that vixen, and didn't know what he would do in the future, made Su Qiang resentful towards Huang Lu.
As a result, the two were basically dissatisfied with each other, and they parted on bad terms.
Su Qiang used to have a decent income and had saved a lot of money, so even after moving out of the factory where he had room and board, he still rented a small courtyard and had a place to live.
He hasn't given up on his job yet; every now and then, he comes out to wander around outside the factory.
He hoped to plead with the factory manager to let him return to work, even if it wasn't in his previous position, he was willing to do any entry-level work.
If he were to meet Shen Zhixia, he would apologize to her and hope that she could forgive him.
He certainly didn't feel guilty towards Shen Zhixia; he just wanted to get back to work at the factory through her.
But one time when Shen Zhixia saw him, she frowned, and Aunt Qian next to her looked at him even more warily: "Su Qiang, what are you doing here? Are you trying to bully Xiao Shen again? Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police."
Good heavens, let alone wanting to apologize to Shen Zhixia, he can't even get close to her now.
