Chapter 322: Who’s Making Something Out Of Nothing?
Wei Xia copied down the things she had written.
At this time, Old Hu had also arranged everything properly.
He personally led the team.
The members were Lu Qiaoge, Cadre Liu, Sister Qiao, and Driver Shao Le.
Of course, the most important one was Wei Xia.
Deputy Director Huang needed to stay at the Neighborhood Committee, having someone from the Neighborhood Committee send a reliable granny or granny to accompany Wei Xia for a few days.
At the same time, security personnel were arranged to focus on that area.
After all, it was unknown whether Du Wanqing was involved; what if she came to cause trouble for Wei Xia?
With these arrangements settled, Shao Le drove the group to Wangjiang Shoe Factory.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Old Hu didn’t make a phone call.
But Lu Qiaoge knew the factory leaders were all there.
This was what Xiao Cangcang had just told her, and also that Director Guo was preparing to burn the suspected cipher book and information.
This came from his mumbling to himself.
Lu Qiaoge analyzed that if it was to be burned, it would be tonight.
So they were in time.
As for the things under the floorboard, they hadn’t been touched, but they would probably be moved soon.
People like this were very suspicious, extremely alert at the slightest sign of trouble.
When they met Factory Director Chang, because Old Hu had come, Old Chang was particularly polite.
These past few days with no news, he had thought Wei Xia was in the wrong and didn’t dare come.
Now looking at it again, was the Neighborhood Committee wanting to intervene all the way?
Of course, this was understandable.
After all, Wei Xia lived in the Military Family Courtyard; if something really happened in the jurisdiction, Old Hu would also be implicated.
So it was normal for the Neighborhood Committee to want to fight for Wei Xia’s job.
Old Chang also considered the possibility of Wei Xia returning.
He had investigated these past few days and hadn’t expected Wei Xia to have such strong technical ability; it was just because of family and personal reasons that she hadn’t been able to take the technical exam.
Of course, the technical exam wasn’t held every year.
There had been no news this year up to now.
But she had missed several good opportunities, which was a pity.
Old Chang’s attitude was very good.
This time it was also in Old Chang’s office.
The first thing they talked about was Director Guo’s method of notification.
Before this, Wei Xia had given the written information to Old Chang.
Director Hu said meaningfully: “The content above isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface; after you read it, think it over before making a decision.”
At this time, Director Guo hadn’t arrived yet.
Old Chang took it suspiciously and read it from beginning to end, his brows furrowing deeply.
Old Hu reminded him: “That section about the cowhide thickness information, think carefully—isn’t there something off about it?”
Then Old Hu said: “Of course, we can’t just listen to one side; this needs to be confronted face-to-face with Director Guo, otherwise if Wei Xia feels resentful and something happens, it’s not what we want to see. Factory Director Chang, don’t you agree?”
Old Chang caught the meaning in Director Hu’s words; he lowered his head to look at the paper in his hand again and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Remembering a certain possibility, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
If it really was as he guessed, then it was over—he, as factory director, was probably done for.
But if it really was like that, he would rather not be factory director and catch this dog of a thing and crush it to death.
Wangjiang Shoe Factory—that had grown from a three-person group to a five-person small workshop bit by bit to what it was now.
It wasn’t just his blood, sweat, and tears, but those of nearly a thousand workers.
All these workers relied on this factory for their livelihood.
Moreover, over so many years, Wangjiang Shoe Factory’s reputation was obvious to all.
It couldn’t be ruined in the hands of a scum.
Old Hu came from a military background; if there was no evidence, he wouldn’t come, nor say these words.
But where was the evidence?
In just this instant, Old Chang thought of many things, his expression changing continuously.
Lu Qiaoge knew Factory Director Chang should now be suspicious.
But this matter needed evidence.
They couldn’t just say Guo Hai was a low-level special agent stealing intelligence and using export leather shoes to pass information without proof.
After all, the evidence had now been destroyed.
So Lu Qiaoge glanced at Wei Xia.
Wei Xia clenched her hands tightly.
In less than a week, she felt like she had relived her life.
The people she had contact with before and now were like two worlds.
It turned out people could talk like this, act like this, live like this.
She remembered her daughter’s expectations for her.
“Mom, you’re going to confront that big bad guy surnamed Guo, right? He lied and deceived you; he’s a bad person.
Mom, if you feel afraid, just stand next to Little Lu Sister.
Then think, so many people are running around for our family’s matter; if I get scared, then I’d be a bad person too.”
She really hadn’t expected that her ten-year-old daughter could be so wise, saying such words.
Before divorcing Jiang Chusheng, Jiang Chusheng would beat or scold her.
It could be said there were no good days; home was often full of arguments.
So she hadn’t had the leisure to observe her few children.
As long as she fed them, clothed them warmly, and kept them clean, she was a qualified mom.
But her daughter’s words at noon today felt like a hammer had struck her head.
Wei Xia nodded heavily at Lu Qiaoge and clenched her hands again.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qiaoge felt reassured.
At this moment, Director Guo walked in; before he could even speak, Wei Xia lunged straight at him.
Then Lu Qiaoge perfectly blocked Wei Xia three steps away.
Lu Qiaoge said in her mouth: “Director Guo is here now; let’s speak openly and clearly face-to-face. Don’t get excited; you can’t hit people here.”
Director Guo looked at Lu Qiaoge in surprise, then at Wei Xia, sneering inwardly: with Wei Xia’s conduct, she still had the guts to hit him? It was just relying on strength in numbers.
He stepped back two steps, a mild and helpless smile on his face: “Comrade Wei Xia, regarding your disciplinary action, it was decided by the Factory Department and Labor Union; I was just responsible for notifying you. Besides, you did cause losses, and the quality inspection team, acceptance team, and others have evidence.”
Wei Xia shouted angrily: “I’m not talking to you about that; that’s the second thing. What I want to talk to you about is the first thing.
On the morning of September 7th around nine o’clock, in your office, you notified me of my dismissal. I asked why, and you said it was for unauthorized absence. I said I gave you a leave slip and you took it, but you didn’t give me a chance to explain and chased me out of the office.
Now you’re saying this; Director Guo, why are you lying? Did I offend you, so you wanted to drive me out?”
Director Guo laughed helplessly, spreading his hands: “Leaders, look, she’s just talking nonsense on her own. Doesn’t this mean even jumping into the Yellow River can’t wash me clean? I never said that to her at all; it’s completely fabricated!”
“You did say that to me; I remember it clearly.”
“Comrade Wei, you’ve suffered stimulation and this is all your imagination; I never said that.” Director Guo calmly denied.
Lu Qiaoge beside her gently tugged Wei Xia’s arm.
Wei Xia immediately understood.
Her courage surged, and she said loudly: “Director Guo, let’s go to your office right now. I’ll describe the scene back then clearly to all the leaders: where I was standing, where you were standing, what you said first, what I replied, and how you chased me out. Do you dare to go? If you don’t dare, it proves you’re lying!”
