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

Lin Yue kept thinking about divorcing Chang Jingxiang the whole way, and tears welled up in her eyes again without her realizing it. She really couldn't bear to part with him, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

When Lin Yue entered the factory manager's office, her eyes were red, clearly she had been crying, and she looked like she had been wronged.

The factory manager didn't know what to say to her for a moment, so he asked Zhou Long what was going on.

Li Mingyue was stunned to see Lin Yue's red eyes. She had been so domineering just now, so why was she crying here?

Zhou Long nudged Li Mingyue and said, "When the factory manager asks you what happened, don't be afraid. Just tell the truth."

Li Mingyue remembered what Zhou Long had told her on the way: to act wronged, to portray herself as the one being bullied, and to say whatever made her seem as pitiful as possible.

She sniffed and forced out two tears. "Factory manager, I was doing laundry when I accidentally spilled her basin. Lin Yue immediately started hitting me and pulling my hair. Many people saw it."

Zhou Long added fuel to the fire, saying, "When I got there, Comrade Li Mingyue was still lying on the ground, her head and face covered in water. For a young girl to be so ruthless, this kind of troublemaker will ruin the atmosphere of our factory."

"Factory manager, this matter must be handled seriously, otherwise everyone will take chances and act recklessly, and our factory will be in chaos."

Lin Yue pulled herself back from her wandering thoughts. "This was our first meeting. How did you know my name was Lin Yue?"

“I…I heard others call you that.”

Lin Yue sneered, "Others? We didn't introduce ourselves today, no one knows anyone, no one knows my name, where did you hear that from?"

Zhou Long had no idea what she was going to say, and had long since lost his patience. "Don't change the subject. We're talking about your assault. You hit someone, so you should be punished. I have no problem with expelling you."

"Factory manager, I have a personal grudge against Li Mingyue. She is deliberately retaliating and trying to kick me out of the factory."

The head of the security department wanted to fire me without asking any questions. That's bureaucratic; I'm not having it.

The factory manager raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Yue with a calm expression, "Did you hit anyone?"

Lin Yue clenched her fist and said bluntly, "She bullied me, so it's only right that I fight back. I know I'm new here, with no connections or background, but I can't let her bully me."

Lin Mei sobbed, "Who bullied you?"

Lin Yue didn't look at her, but said to the factory manager, "She deliberately smashed my washbasin and said that I had dirtied her shoes. She made me kneel down and clean them for her, so I pulled her under the tap to wash them for her."

I didn't hit anyone; I was just helping her wash things. What's the problem?

The factory manager said thoughtfully, "Even if she's wrong, you can't hit her. The factory has its rules. If everyone were like you, resorting to violence at the first sign of a problem, wouldn't things be chaotic?"

Lin Yue understood that she had acted impulsively just now, but she didn't regret it. She didn't want to be like before, with nowhere to retreat.

Even if she was fired, she didn't regret it. The matter was explained clearly, and if the factory manager was reasonable, he would naturally have a sense of justice.

If he's intentionally biased, then whatever he says won't matter.

Lin Yue lowered her head and remained silent. The factory manager was about to say something more when the phone rang. "Hello, this is..."

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the factory manager became very respectful and lowered his voice.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Please rest assured, I will keep that in mind."

After hanging up the phone, the factory manager looked at Lin Yue meaningfully and asked, "What did you say your name was?"

"Lin Yue," Lin Yue replied calmly.

Isn't this the little girl the mayor mentioned on the phone earlier? So that's why she has this connection; no wonder she spoke so fearlessly.

However, the girl herself never mentioned this matter, and it seems she didn't intend to use this relationship to her advantage; she's a strong-willed person.

The factory manager looked her up and down again, and then made a decision.

Zhou Long and Li Mingyue, who had assumed the factory director was going to fire Lin Yue, were already relieved and had an expression of anticipation for the show.

The factory director had heard about Zhou Long's usual behavior at the factory, but they were all trivial matters that didn't cause any harm, so he turned a blind eye to them.

But now that this matter involves the town mayor, if anything goes wrong, he might lose his position as factory manager.

We need to give him a wake-up call.

"Comrade Lin Yue, you're new to the factory and don't know much about the rules and regulations. Let's just let it go this time. Go back and study them carefully, and don't be so reckless next time."

The factory manager's change in attitude surprised everyone present, including Lin Yue.

Li Mingyue simply couldn't accept it. "How can we just let it go like this? She hit someone, which is a very serious issue and must be dealt with seriously."

The factory manager's face turned grim. "Oh, how do you intend to handle this seriously?"

Li Mingyue thought the factory director was asking for her opinion, and said without hesitation, "Fire him, he must be fired. We can't let such a cancer ruin the factory's atmosphere."

The factory manager gritted his teeth and said, "Looks like you know the factory rules very well!"

"Of course, I can recite it backwards." Li Mingyue proudly raised her head, and Zhou Long was a little smug, thinking that he had raised a good nephew.

They were completely oblivious to the factory manager's increasingly angry expression. "Director Liu, take the complaint letters out of the cabinet and show them to them."

Zhou Long and Li Mingyue were still confused and stood there stunned after reading the letter.

The factory manager said impatiently, "Since we're going to deal with this seriously, let's deal with these things together, otherwise it will only cause more dissatisfaction among everyone."

These letters were all written by people who had been bullied by Zhou Long and Li Mingyue. Each incident was clear and detailed, but the factory director suppressed them all.

Zhou Long still couldn't see through the factory manager's intentions. He knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and had no choice but to back down.

Zhou Long's hands trembled as he held the letter. "No, no, no, factory manager, it's all a misunderstanding. The young lady is new and not familiar with the factory rules. It's understandable, it's understandable."

Li Mingyue was unconvinced and wanted to say something more, such as "Uncle..."

Zhou Long glared at her fiercely, "Shut up and stay put."

The factory manager's expression softened slightly when he saw that the man understood. "Then this one will be fired..."

Zhou Long quickly chimed in, "No, no, it's just a little squabble between the girls. They'll be more careful in the future. I'll definitely give them a good talking-to when I get back."

Lin Yue was confused and didn't know why they had suddenly changed their attitude.

Finally, the factory manager spoke up, "Alright, that's enough for today. Go back now. We're all colleagues, comrades-in-arms who have fought hard together. Let's get along well in the future."
