Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Page 146

This truth absolutely cannot be spoken aloud; for now, all I can do is put on an act as if I'm being bullied by Director Yang.

If I'm lucky, I might be able to escape tomorrow's assessment.

"He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, you're really confused. Let me tell you, this has nothing to do with me. It was Qin Huairu who came to me begging me to let her off easy in tomorrow's assessment."

In a fit of anger, Director Yang had no choice but to tell the truth.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu heard this as nothing more than him making excuses for himself.

Why is it that Qin Huairu is the one who comes to beg you, Director Yang, and no one else does?

Furthermore, seeing this scene upon entering the room must be the fault of Director Yang.

In reality, if a normal person were to walk in through the door, they would never say such a thing.

At the very least, they would ask for the reason behind the matter first, and at the very least, let the security department investigate, instead of just making baseless accusations.

"Director Yang, it's no use trying to deny it. I thought you were a good person, but I was wrong. I'll call the security department to arrest you right now. How could you do such a scandalous thing in broad daylight?"

He Yuzhu said with a look of righteous indignation.

The noise coming from Director Yang's office was also heard by Li Xiangdong and his colleagues.

The three people hurriedly came out of the office and went to Director Yang's office.

"Director Yang, what happened here? Why is He Yuzhu here? And why is Qin Huairu here too? Isn't it working hours now?"

Director Bao said with a dissatisfied look.

"Director Bao, this is what happened. Qin Huairu was worried about failing the assessment tomorrow, so she came over to threaten and bribe me. I refused and tried to reason with her. Then He Yuzhu pushed the door open and started shouting."

Factory Director Yang is now suffering in silence, feeling incredibly frustrated.

"Nonsense! Even now, you still refuse to tell the truth. It was clearly you who forced Sister Qin to do that kind of thing. When I came in, Sister Qin was sitting on the floor, her clothes disheveled. What excuse do you have?"

He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

"He Yuzhu, what business is it of yours? It's working hours now, get back to your work in the kitchen. This isn't your place to judge things. Who do you think you are?"

Li Huaide glanced at him and noticed that Li Xiangdong's expression was a bit off, so he immediately scolded him.

"I, I..."

He Yuzhu's momentum immediately weakened.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? What are you doing here? Are you from the security department? Is everything you're saying the truth?"

“Let me tell you, if what you’re saying is nonsense, or even slandering Director Yang, you can’t afford to be accused of that.”

Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to say something, Li Xiangdong immediately interrupted and reprimanded him.

"Alright, let the security department handle this and investigate what happened. Anyone who isn't involved should leave now."

Director Bao immediately spoke up as well.

Having no other choice, He Yuzhu could only leave Director Yang's office in a huff, fuming with anger, and return to the kitchen.

……

"Director Li, go to the security department now and have them investigate. We must find out the truth about this matter. You two should not say anything more."

"Once the security department arrives, you can state your position, and they will make a decision."

After Director Bao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Factory Director Yang and Qin Huairu stood silently to the side.

Seeing this, Li Xiangdong gave a wink and left Director Yang's office, with Li Huaide following closely behind.

Inside Li Huaide's office.

"How could such a big thing happen before the year-end assessment? Chief Engineer Li, do you think there's anything suspicious about this?"

Li Huaide asked cautiously.

"I think Qin Huairu is not a good person. The security department will find out the truth. It's better to get rid of people like her as soon as possible. It seems that Director Yang has really been wronged this time."

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

Li Xiangdong said casually.

Li Huaide and Li Xiangdong were well aware of the despicable things Qin Huairu had been doing behind the scenes at the factory.

However, due to a lack of evidence, they were unable to get rid of Qin Huairu.

Now that Qin Huairu has delivered herself to their doorstep, they can't blame them.

In fact, what Li Xiangdong said was already very tactful; if Li Huaide had said it, it would have been much more polite.

This must be because Qin Huairu threw herself into his arms, and Director Yang couldn't refuse her.

There's no other reason than that the year-end performance review is tomorrow.

.... .... 0

Once the assessment is conducted, anyone who fails will be dismissed from the steel rolling mill.

Stable jobs like those in steel rolling mills are hard to find in Beijing.

Even in textile factories, employees are rotated in batches.

On the contrary, in steel rolling mills, most employees are not easily unemployed.

"Chief Engineer Li is right. An intern hasn't been promoted to a permanent position after so long, so he must not be very capable. Our steel rolling mill needs capable people, not these good-for-nothings."

Li Huaide echoed.

"It's nothing for us, we just need to wait for the results. We can also discuss some procedures for tomorrow's assessment."

Li Xiangdong said casually.

……

Security Section.

"Comrade, I have a family. How could I possibly do such a thing? Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't do it in my office at the steel rolling mill. It would be so blatant. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Factory Director Yang tearfully recounted the story.

“That makes sense, but we need to investigate this matter further. Please stay here for now, and we'll get it sorted out in a day at most.”

The security personnel also roughly knew what had happened.

What's missing now is evidence.

That means Qin Huairu wasn't called away by Factory Director Yang; once we have that one piece of evidence...

Qin Huairu's lie was thus exposed, so the security personnel still needed to investigate the steel rolling mill.

Chapter 181 The Truth Comes Out

"Comrade, I've already told you that Director Yang tried to take advantage of me. He Yuzhu saw it too. If you don't believe me, just go and call He Yuzhu over and ask him directly."

Qin Huairu said, her face streaked with tears.

"Our security department can't just listen to your side of the story. We need to conduct further investigations to determine whether you are a victim or not. We will give you a conclusion after our investigation is complete. You can stay here for now."

The security personnel treated Qin Huairu much worse than they treated Director Yang.

The security department had heard some things about Qin Huairu's character in private.

They also felt that Qin Huairu was the kind of person capable of doing such a thing.

Therefore, their attitude was naturally worse, and they locked Qin Huairu alone in the security department before the security personnel left.

The security department colleagues asked around the factory, including He Yuzhu.

Finally, after asking a colleague who worked in the same workshop as Qin Huairu, they learned that Qin Huairu was pretending to go to the toilet.

In reality, she went to Director Yang's office, meaning that Director Yang did not explicitly ask Qin Huairu to come to his office.

Besides, everyone knows what kind of person Qin Huairu is.

Soon, the security department reported this important lead to their superiors.

"Director Bao, after our investigation, we believe that Director Yang is innocent and that Qin Huairu did all of this herself."

"After all, Director Yang didn't send anyone to call Qin Huairu to his office, and besides, it's really illogical to do such a thing in the office."

"That's what the head of the security department said."

"According to you, that's true. This matter must be handled well. You should understand what I mean. As the saying goes, 'Don't wash your dirty linen in public.' We should resolve this kind of thing within our factory, understand?"

Director Bao thought about it and realized that, logically speaking, that made sense.

If it were me, I wouldn't do such a dirty thing openly in my office during the day.

It doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it.

"Understood, sir. We'll get on it right away."

The security personnel understood and left Director Bao's office, returning to the security department.

……

"Qin Huairu, according to our investigation, the course of this matter is very clear. What you have done has seriously damaged the reputation of the steel rolling mill."

"If you admit it yourself, you can still get a layoff subsidy. If you refuse to admit it no matter what, then we will have to use other methods."

The captain of the security department spoke sternly and righteously.
