Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 316 Who is lying?

Director Guo also said very politely, "Comrade Xiao Lu, please feel free to ask."

Seeing Director Guo's calm demeanor, Lu Qiaoge knew that he probably didn't know anything.

Neither the factory manager nor Director Guo mentioned that taking leave would lead to dismissal.

Therefore, Wei Xia's claim that she was fired because her child was sick and she had to take too much leave is unfounded.

Lu Qiaoge asked in surprise, "How did you notify Wei Xia? Was it in writing or verbally? If it was in writing, Wei Xia shouldn't have a copy. If it was verbally, who told Wei Xia?"

Before Director Guo could speak, Lu Qiaoge seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled embarrassedly, saying, "I also heard some news. Wei Xia's ex-husband's current wife, the one named Du Wanqing, said that Director Guo of Wangjiang Shoe Factory is her relative. So after we learned about this, we felt that this matter seemed a bit strange, which is why we came to your factory to bother you."

Lu Qiaoge spoke while observing Director Guo's expression.

Then he became certain of his guess: yes, Director Guo, they had come prepared.

Sure enough, Director Guo glanced at his superior, Lao Chang, and said with some difficulty, "Actually, Du Wanqing and I are not relatives, just classmates, but not in the same class. We went to the same school. Our two families are not related at all. I don't know why she said that, but I can guarantee that I have no relation to Du Wanqing, and everything we have done is reasonable and legal."

After some deliberation, Lao Chang said, "If it's because of Hou Cheng's matter that Wei Xia's matter can no longer be covered up, then there's really nothing we can do for the time being. Hou Cheng's situation is similar to Wei Xia's, but Hou Cheng is inconsistent and his performance is not good. So the factory and the union decided to fire him. At that time, the losses he caused were more than 300 yuan less than Wei Xia's."

Director Guo nodded and said with some helplessness, "We have no choice but to handle it this way for now in order to avoid public outrage."

Lu Qiaoge patiently said, "Director Chang, Director Guo, what I just asked was how you notified Wei Xia? How did you notify her? What was her reaction at the time? Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to confirm whether Wei Xia was lying."

Sister Qiao immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, because nothing you two are saying is the same, one of you must be lying."

Old Chang frowned and looked at Director Guo, asking, "How did you notify them?"

He was already away at a meeting and naturally didn't know.

Director Guo smiled calmly: "I personally notified her. I showed her the documents and reports. At that time, she even apologized to me and hoped that I could give her a chance. Actually, it's not easy to give her that chance."

Hou Cheng's family was watching closely, but Wei Xia didn't get the result she wanted after admitting her mistake and making a self-criticism. Her emotions became very unstable, and she seemed to be on the verge of a breakdown.

Considering her family's situation, I told Wei Xia that we should leave it at that for now. Too many people were eyeing the factory, and we couldn't do anything we wanted right now. We could only wait and see if there was an opportunity later. Then Wei Xia took her things and left.

Several cadres from the military factory's street office couldn't help but exchange glances.

Lu Qiaoge said, "From what I understand, Wei Xia returned to work after her leave, but you informed her that the factory has decided to fire her because of unexcused absence. However, the factory manager is not home, and the dismissal documents can only be signed after the factory manager returns."

Director Guo gave a wry smile and spread his hands: "Look at the mess this has made. Wei Xia must be a little mentally unstable. How could she lie?"

Lu Qiaoge asked again, "Where did you say those words?" "In my office. It was just me and Wei Xia at the time, so no one will believe me now no matter what I say."

The implication is that Wei Xia is likely lying and talking nonsense; she was so devastated by the divorce that she is mentally unstable.

If you were to single out the two individuals and ask everyone to choose who to believe, Lu Qiaoge believed that 80% of people would choose to believe Director Guo.

The reason is simple: Director Guo is a normal person. He speaks clearly and logically, with a well-reasoned and evidence-based approach. The timeline is also very clear. Moreover, it wasn't a decision he made alone. It was discussed and decided by the factory management and the labor union together. There was also the so-called Hou Cheng causing trouble. They had no choice but to treat the employees who made the same mistake fairly.

As for Wei Xia, her emotions are indeed unstable. Neighbors say she is not in good mental health and speaks incoherently. Before yesterday, she seemed like she didn't want to live and often hit her children.

Sister Qiao, Secretary Liu, and Shao Le are all silent right now.

They felt that even Lu Qiaoge couldn't grasp the key points.

So they simply kept quiet.

Then Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Chang, we would like to apply for a reinvestigation into the production accident caused by Wei Xia and the related losses in the name of Wei Xia's family."

Old Chang was stunned for a moment, while Director Guo quietly clenched his fist.

Lu Qiaoge spoke earnestly and earnestly, saying, "Wei Xia is a resident of our Xiangyang Subdistrict. You know her current situation is indeed very bad. Our Subdistrict Office cannot be with her 24 hours a day, so we earnestly request a chance to reinvestigate. If it is proven that Wei Xia is indeed at fault, we, as Wei Xia's family members, have nothing to say. Moreover, doing so would better reflect the Wangjiang Shoe Factory's principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency in handling issues."

Lu Qiaoge glanced at the seemingly calm Director Guo, then looked at Old Chang, the factory manager of Wangjiang Shoe Factory.

Sister Qiao: "Old Chang, this outcome could very well involve five lives. Whether it's a high-ranking official or an ordinary worker, we have to be careful."

Officer Liu nodded: "Old Chang, although the investigation will cause you trouble, it will also give Wei Xia an explanation."

Old Chang glanced at Director Guo, then nodded and said, "Alright, we can reinvestigate. How would you like to investigate?"

Before Lu Qiaoge could speak, Director Guo said somewhat awkwardly, "If you want to see that batch of defective products, then unfortunately, the defective products have already been disposed of."

Sister Qiao and the others all looked at Director Guo simultaneously.

Old Chang couldn't help but ask, "When was it dealt with?"

"Director Chang, we wouldn't normally be able to process this quickly, but we have export orders on hand. However, because a batch of cowhide was destroyed, we could only disassemble and reprocess the defective products instead of selling them like the other defective products."

He then added, "Actually, even defective products are still bought by many people."
