80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

The onlookers began to whisper among themselves. Zhou Long panicked a little. He was usually domineering, but he still had some fear of the factory manager.

If these words reach the factory director's ears, who knows what problems might arise.

Zhou Long was a little angry. "You're just being unreasonable. You clearly did something wrong, but you're trying to confuse the issue. Our factory won't hire someone like you."

"You don't need to say anything, just pack your things quickly, or I'll have them thrown out."

Lin Yue turned the basin upside down on the ground and plopped down on it. "I'm not leaving today. I'll wait here for the factory manager to give me an explanation."

Wang Yiming from the mechanics team nudged Huo Qingyan on the shoulder, "Brother Yan, this little girl is quite interesting. She dares to go against Zhou Long. Do you think she can win?"

Huo Qingyan stopped washing clothes, looked up at Lin Yue, and said, "Have someone inform the factory manager."

Wang Yiming smirked, "Brother Yan, are you going to help this girl? You don't happen to have a crush on her, do you?"

But you know what, this girl is quite pretty and has a strong personality; she'd be a good match for you.

Huo Qingyan glanced at him and said, "You seem to have a lot of free time. Why don't you go to the workshop and do some extra work? There's a problem with that flatbed sewing machine."

Wang Yiming slapped his mouth. "Hey Yan-ge, didn't we agree to go to the movies? Fine, I'll stop talking now, okay?"

Wang Yiming sent someone to inform the workshop director. When the workshop director heard that it was about Zhou Long, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he went directly to the factory manager and said, "Factory manager, the new female worker is causing trouble in the factory."

The factory manager put down the documents in his hand, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and asked, "What's going on?"

The workshop director recounted what he had heard: "They said that the new female worker hit someone, and Section Chief Zhou wanted to fire her. She said she wanted you to give her an explanation."

The factory manager gritted his teeth. "Nonsense! The factory is currently evaluating outstanding employees, how could something like this happen? Didn't they explain the factory's rules and regulations to the new workers?"

The workshop director wiped his sweat. "I did say it, I did say it. I said it in the meeting, but they probably didn't pay attention."

"Find out what happened. If it really violated the factory rules, then fire the person who should be fired. What are you making a fuss about? Can't the security department even handle something this simple?"

"The woman who was beaten is the niece of Zhou Long, the head of the security department. She said she wanted an explanation for violating the regulations and that the factory should issue a dismissal decision for you, the factory manager, to sign."

The factory manager raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. I didn't expect a girl from the countryside to have this kind of awareness. I'd like to see what kind of person she is."

Call everyone into the office; don't let people gossip about it in private.

The workshop director received the order and quickly went to call for help. He had often suffered at Zhou Long's hands, and now he was also looking forward to a good show, so he went to find the people himself.

When the workshop foreman came over, Zhou Long was about to grab Lin Yue. "What are you doing? A grown man bullying a little girl, what kind of behavior is that? Alright, everyone stop making a fuss and go about your business."

He pointed to Zhou Long, Li Mingyue, and Lin Yue, "You guys come with me to the factory manager's office."

When Zhou Long heard that he was going to the factory director's office, he felt a little uneasy and secretly taught his niece how to say it later.

The onlookers looked at each other, surprised that the factory manager actually took charge of the matter.

"This Zhou Long has bullied people a lot, relying on his relationship with the factory manager, but it has always been suppressed. I wonder how the factory manager will deal with him this time?"

"Hey, it's just a formality. One is the head of the factory's security department, and the other is a new worker. Who do you think the factory manager will side with? Just watch, the young lady will be packing her things and getting someone soon."

"Sigh, this girl did nothing wrong. It's really outrageous. I wonder what she did to offend Li Mingyue?"

"Who knows? Maybe Li Mingyue is just jealous because the girl is pretty."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions. Some of those who had been bullied by Zhou Long and Li Mingyue wanted to see how the factory would handle the situation.

Huo Qingyan glanced at Lin Yue's back and said nothing more.

Wang Yiming whistled, "Sigh, we finally got an interesting one, and he's leaving so soon. Couldn't they have hired a few more so we could take care of our personal lives?"

Wu Changyong joked, "I heard they recruited over fifty new people this time, mostly women. Aren't you going to have enough to choose from?"

Luo Xiaoshan chuckled, "I think they're just spoiled for choice."

Wang Yiming shook the water off his hands and said, "Get lost! If you keep joking with me, I'm not treating you to this movie."

Wu Changyong hurriedly cupped his hands to Wang Yiming, "Don't worry, Brother Ming, we finally get to go out, you must see this movie. We'll keep an eye out for movies for you in the future, and introduce you to suitable ones first."

Wang Yiming liked to follow Huo Qingyan, and he would always think of him first when there was something good. "Introduce him to Brother Yan first. Our Brother Yan is so handsome and talented, we should choose the best one."

Luo Xiaoshan winked at Wu Changyong, "I've discovered that Brother Ming has another skill, even better than repairing machines."

"What skill?"

"Flattery."

"You're asking for it."

The group started playfully fighting, and Huo Qingyan watched indifferently. He knew he would leave this place sooner or later, and he didn't plan to find a partner here.

However, if it's that little girl from before, and she's willing to stay, then we could give it a try; at worst, we could take her back with us.

Li Mingyue glared at Lin Yue's back, feeling both angry and upset. Yesterday, when Lin Mei came to the factory to look for her, she saw Lin Yue there as well.

Lin Mei recounted how Lin Yue bullied her, even taking away her school money, which prevented Lin Mei from going out with her girlfriends.

She was determined to get revenge for Lin Mei, muttering to herself, "You made me look bad in front of so many people, I'll make you pay later."

Zhou Long was close enough to hear what she was saying, and he slapped her hard, saying, "You'd better do what I taught you and not act like a child."

Lin Yue ignored what they were saying and kept following behind the workshop director. If the factory director was also unreasonable and wanted to fire her without any explanation, then she might as well not stay at such a factory.

At worst, she can go back to the village to collect herbs or find some manual labor work; she can always support herself.

According to my memories from my previous life, this garment factory will soon be involved in a major accident, which apparently injured people. Leaving now might be a good thing.

I wonder how Chang Jingxiang and Su Qingya are doing. Maybe they've already completed the formalities and are just waiting for me to go back and sign them.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue's fighting spirit, which had just been raised, was pushed aside, and she felt a painful swelling in her heart.
