Seventy Legally Blonde

Chapter 18 Don't Be Afraid

It was time for lunch, and the big cafeteria was full of people.

Meng Jiang's production team has such a large canteen. People from the three production teams eat together. At the moment, the canteen is crowded with people.

Those who cook, those who serve food, those who chat while eating, and those who touch each other, the whole cafeteria is full of noisy and lively atmosphere of fireworks.

But the lively atmosphere of fireworks was broken by Zhou Niannian's crisp shout.

There was silence in the cafeteria, and everyone turned their heads to look at Zhou Niannian at the same time.

Lao Zheng, who was serving food to the people in line, darkened, said badly to himself, and glared at Zhou Niannian who ran in, and his own daughter-in-law who came chasing after him panting.

A prodigal woman who does not succeed enough but fails.

Old Zheng's daughter-in-law shrank her neck in fright at her man's cannibalistic eyes, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhou Niannian looked around the cafeteria with big watery eyes, walked straight to one of the tables, and shouted aggrievedly: "Director Xing, come and judge me."

"I have just been in our production team for only three days, and I haven't recognized everyone. I don't even know who Comrade Zheng is. How could I find someone to open a small stove? Aunt Zheng stopped me just now and insisted on letting me do it. Money, I was really wronged." She looked at Xing Dehai with aggrieved expression and said.

Sitting next to Xing Dehai was an old man in his 50s, plainly dressed but clean, with a thin face, dark skin, and a pair of piercing eyes on a wrinkled face.

At this moment, he listened to Zhou Niannian's words, while holding a bowl of porridge in his hands without moving, he secretly looked at Zhou Niannian a few times.

Zhou Niannian pretended not to see it, and looked at Xing Dehai aggrievedly.

Xing Dehai's old-fashioned face was a little stiff, and he frowned and looked at Lao Zheng who was running over nervously, "Old Zheng, tell me what's going on?"

"I've heard that some people in your production team have spread rumors behind their backs. Is it true?"

The sweat on Lao Zheng's forehead was about to come down, he waved his hands again and again: "Captain Meng, Director Xing, those are all rumors, rumors."

The old man next to Xing Dehai is Meng Sanqiu, the captain of the entire Mengjiang production team. He was originally the village head of Mengjiang village. Later, when the production team was established, he became the team leader. It can be said that he has managed Mengjiang village for nearly 20 years. Very prestigious.

Meng Sanqiu raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Niannian lightly after hearing the words: "Then what is this comrade educated youth talking about?"

"Yes." Old Zheng wiped his sweat, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes"

He stammered, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

He never thought that Zhou Niannian would dare to make a fuss in public, and once it was found out, no matter if it was the trustee or the person who opened the small fire, he would be criticized, write an inspection, and get rid of it. Not good, he can't keep his job.

Because of this, over the years, although he has secretly opened small stoves for many people, no one has ever dared to reveal it. It is disgraceful to tell such a thing, and it is too late for those who entrusted to open small stoves.

Who knew Zhou Niannian, an idiot, would expose it in front of the entire production team.

Old Zheng was angry and impatient, and didn't know how to explain it for a while, saying that he thought Zhou Niannian was pitiful, so let's cook by himself, because he used things from the public house, and he couldn't get away with the crime of misappropriating things without permission.

But if it is said that he prescribes small things for others, then using public property to make money for himself for personal gain is a more serious crime. Lao Zheng is neither left nor right, and his back is soaked in anxiety.

Old Zheng's daughter-in-law ran over and shouted eagerly: "This matter has nothing to do with my boss, it was Li Wenjing who came to ask my boss to do it."

Li Wenjing, who was eager to bury herself in the job bowl, turned blue when she heard the words, and she knew that at the critical moment, Old Zheng's wife would definitely sell her.

"Is Comrade Li Wenjing here?" Xing Dehai stood up and shouted.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was impossible for Li Wenjing to pretend she was not there. She stood up eagerly, twisted her skirt, and tears fell down before she could speak.

"Nian Nian, you... how can you talk like that? It was clear that you just came here two days ago. You passed out from work and couldn't eat. I felt distressed and tried to find a way for you."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, her delicate face was like pear blossoms with rain, making people feel that she had been greatly wronged.

"But you said that what you have is money, and you forced me to find a way for you. I had no choice, so I took the meat ticket you gave me, went to the town to buy meat, and begged my godfather to cook for you."

"You swore back then that you could give your godfather some remuneration. My godfather is a nice person, and you said that you don't need any remuneration. You can work for the production team if you are healthy enough, just earn work points."

The more Li Wenjing talked, the more wronged she became, and her eye circles were red and swollen for a while. She approached Zhou Niannian and said, "Niannian, you don't have to do this. When the money is stolen, I am afraid and want to renege on the debt.”

"Originally, godfather didn't want your money, did he? Godfather?" Li Wenjing looked at Lao Zheng tenderly.

Lao Zheng nodded his head, and secretly praised himself as a goddamn girl for her quick change of mind, and she pushed everything to Zhou Niannian in a few words.

In this way, Zhou Niannian bought the meat with Zhou Niannian's meat ticket, and he just looked at her pitifully and helped to cook a meal for free, while Zhou Niannian became greedy and lazy, relying on money to not produce, and without money, he cheated woman, her reputation will be ruined.

"Yes, that's right. I really agreed to cook two meals for her because I looked at her pitifully." Old Zheng explained with a wry smile, as if it was okay to be wronged.

"Speaking out about this matter will affect Comrade Xiao Zhou's reputation, so I didn't say anything to anyone. The mother-in-law at home didn't know, and thought that I used my own things to cause today's incident. Misunderstood, misunderstood."

While talking, Lao Zheng glared at his wife: "It's all because of you, what are you doing here?"

"But" Lao Zheng's daughter-in-law still felt a little distressed when she thought about the two eggs and meat she had used up, but when she wanted to refute but met Lao Zheng's fierce eyes, she shrank her neck and swallowed the words back.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, is that so?" Xing Dehai frowned, looking at Zhou Niannian with displeasure.

Others in the cafeteria also started talking in low voices, after all everyone knew about Zhou Niannian's money being stolen.

"I think what Comrade Li Wenjing said should be true. Comrade Xiao Li has always performed very well in our production team. Everyone has seen it with their own eyes."

"It's hard to tell about this newcomer. Maybe he just saw that the money was stolen and wanted to take the opportunity to renege on the promise he had promised."

Li Wenjing listened to the almost one-sided discussion around her, and a look of complacency flashed in her eyes.
