Because the man was so surprised, he didn't control the volume of his voice. When he shouted, everyone around heard it. Everyone's face was full of confusion and surprise, and they began to discuss:

"He was just a boilerman? Then why did they say he was an officer before?"

"That's easy. Who doesn't like to exaggerate? Oh, by the way, have any of you seen her man?"

"No, but Qing Ning usually looks very honest and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would brag."

"Yeah, I don't think so either, Xiaohong, who told you this?"

Liu Xiaohong did not explain anything. Instead, she curled her lips and smiled, saying sarcastically:

"I didn't say she was boasting." Then he deliberately misled everyone: "Even if she was a boiler operator, she was still a soldier, wasn't she?"

This Liu Xiaohong is very beautiful, but unlike Xia Qingning's lovable and delicate appearance, her eyebrows and eyes are charming and seductive, making her look alluring and enchanting.

Before Xia Qingning was recruited, she was one of the most beautiful women in the textile factory. Many men in the factory looked at her with fixed eyes, and they would praise her beauty whenever they met her. This gave her, who was already vain, great satisfaction.

But then Xia Qingning came and everything slowly changed.

When she first came, Xia Qingning was not as pretty as she is now, and everyone's attention was more on Liu Xiaohong.

But later, Xia Qingning grew better and better, and her face became more and more beautiful. In addition, Liu Xiaohong was very arrogant and difficult to get along with. He always acted superior to everyone he met.

So gradually everyone liked the humble and polite Xia Qingning more and paid less attention to Liu Xiaohong.

In addition, in recent times, Xia Qingning has become better at dressing up and more confident than before. Everyone always praises her when they meet her. Liu Xiaohong feels very unbalanced. Whenever there is an opportunity to belittle her, she will naturally magnify it infinitely and will not help to clarify the matter.

"Although they are all soldiers, there is definitely a difference between an officer and a boiler operator. Xiaohong, where did you hear all this? Don't talk nonsense without any evidence," an older sister nearby kindly reminded.

"Yes, you can't talk nonsense and slander Qingning." A female worker who usually has a good relationship with Xia Qingning also hurriedly followed suit after hearing this.

"Oh, I remember Xiaohong's brother was also a soldier. Could it be that you heard it from your brother?" Another female worker reacted and asked immediately.

Qian Xiaofang, who was standing by, became eager when she heard someone mention Liu Xiaohong's brother, and quickly explained:

"Brother Yuanzheng is not an ordinary soldier. He is a company commander with high rank. He is very impressive." When Qian Xiaofang said this, she looked at Liu Xiaohong with bright eyes:

"I heard that Brother Yuanzheng is going home to visit his family, right? When will he arrive home?"

Liu Xiaohong has always known what Qian Xiaofang is thinking. Her brother is a famous handsome man. Looking at Qian Xiaofang in front of her, she has a square face, small eyes and a big forehead. Before she can open her mouth, the elder sister next to her joked:

"Haha, Xiaofang, you don't want to be Xiaohong's sister-in-law, do you?"

Hahaha……

Everyone laughed, and no one cared to know whether Xia Qingning's husband was the one who burned the boiler.

Liao Qiang sat at the table looking at the production records in his hand, with his head lowered. He was bald from his forehead to the back of his head, with only a few sparse hairs around it. From the front, he looked like a peeled braised egg.

But he still thought he had great leadership charisma, and he was holding a pen and pretending to write something in a notebook.

Xia Qingning walked to the outside of Liao Qiang's office, looked inside with disgust, maintained basic manners, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The person inside seemed not to have heard anything and still looked very focused. Although Xia Qingning had a good temper, she still had to consider who was on the other side. Seeing that he pretended not to hear anything, she turned around and prepared to leave.

She knew that he couldn't really be looking for her for some work-related matter. If she hadn't been concerned about Team Leader Qin's face and didn't want her to have a hard time with Liao Qiang, she wouldn't have wanted to come at all.

When Liao Qiang saw her turning around to leave, he stopped pretending and immediately called her:

"Hey, Xiaoxia, you're here, come in quickly."

Xia Qingning looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but frown. If she had a conflict with Liao Qiang now, it would definitely attract other people's attention.

The original body had indeed gone out with him to eat alone and watch a movie. In this conservative era, if these things were brought to light, it would be very disadvantageous to oneself.

Xia Qingning hesitated for a moment, but turned around and walked into the office.

"Did you knock on the door just now? Sorry, I was writing something and was so focused that I didn't hear it." Liao Qiang explained hypocritically.

Xia Qingning didn't want to play along with him, so she asked directly:

"What does Director Liao want to see me about?"

Liao Qiang put down the pen in his hand, walked over, and asked with great concern:

"Xiao Xia, how is your work lately? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Xia Qingning frowned slightly. She really didn't want to listen to his obvious nonsense, so she said directly:

"Director Liao, if you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first."

"Hey, Xiao Xia, I'm just concerned about your work. When did you become so bad-tempered? It would be great if you could be as gentle as before." After Liao Qiang finished speaking, he suddenly moved closer to Xia Qingning and deliberately lowered his voice and said:

"Of course it's a good thing that I'm looking for you. I have a statistics position here. The salary is high and it's easy. Do you want to give it a try?"

Xia Qingning took two steps to the side in disgust, distanced herself from him, and rejected him directly in a cold voice:

"no need!"

This is a common tactic used by male leaders in the factory against their female subordinates. How could Xia Qingning not know what to offer in exchange for an easy, high-paying position?

"Don't refuse so quickly, or you can think about it again." Liao Qiang looked at Xia Qingning and smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"Don't even think about it. I'm not qualified for such a good position. Director Liao, please leave it to someone else." Xia Qingning frowned and refused.

"Whether you are competent or not is up to me. If I say you can do it, no one dares to say no." Liao Qiang said domineeringly, and then he seemed to think of something and continued:

"The factory is going to recruit a group of female workers in the next two weeks. Didn't you say last time that you have a sister-in-law who wants to come to our factory? How about it? Do you need my help?"

The original body did mention to him that He Shanshan wanted to join the factory, but he refused at the time on the grounds that the factory was temporarily not recruiting. Bringing this up again now was undoubtedly giving Xia Qingning more leverage.

"As long as you listen to me, I can give you more benefits than these." Liao Qiang tried to persuade Xia Qingning again, but as soon as he got to her side, Xia Qingning's hand suddenly raised up...
