Jiang Chunyu pursed her lips and did not smile, her face regaining its cold and beautiful expression. She squinted her eyes and stared coldly at Lu Xin: "Yesterday, Li Li was pierced in the foot by a nail and then in the groin. You were there. Today, Liu Jianhui tripped over an aluminum-magnesium alloy plate and was pierced in the face by a nail. You were there too. They were all injured after offending you. How do you explain these coincidences?"
"I can't explain it," Lu Xin was greatly alarmed inside, but his face showed a look of intense anger: "If you want to pin a crime on someone, you will always find a way. You can't find the real culprit, so you have to find someone to take the blame. You want to pin the blame on me, a university graduate with no background. I have nothing to say. If you want to fire me or dismiss me, go ahead!"
Jiang Chunyu did not expect her questioning to provoke such a strong emotional reaction from Lu Xin. She quickly smiled: "Lu Xin, maybe my words were a bit off. I'm not trying to interrogate you. I just find it strange, how could it be such a coincidence!"
"President Jiang, when Li Li was pierced in the foot by a nail yesterday, I was two meters away from him. It was the two old mechanics who were close to him. When he was pierced in the groin, I was driven out of the medical room, and it was still the two old mechanics who helped him. Today, when Liu Jianhui tripped over the aluminum-magnesium alloy plate and was pierced in the face by a nail, I was standing still, two meters away from him. How could I possibly injure them from such a distance?" Lu Xin sneered: "President Jiang, do you think I'm Professor Do Min-joon? Do you think I have superpowers? Have you been watching too many stars!"
"In other words, you are completely innocent in yesterday's and today's incidents?" Jiang Chunyu's beautiful eyes darted around, staring intently at Lu Xin, trying to detect any hint of lying in his expression.
Lu Xin knew this was a critical moment. He had to make Jiang Chunyu believe him. If even she doubted him, his enemies would doubt him even more, and he would really be fired from the company. So he said with a look of indignation: "I was transferred from the design center to the maintenance class for no reason, and I endured it. When they tried to frame me, I also endured it. I worked hard to fix the vacuum furnace, but instead of getting a reward, I only received hostility. Now, they are saying I am the one who caused their injuries. I can't take it anymore!
"President Jiang, if we talk about coincidences, the only coincidence is that Li Li and Liu Jianhui both bullied me. As a university graduate with no background, a newcomer, what can I do? I can only endure it. Perhaps their injuries are a punishment from heaven for bullying me!"
Seeing Lu Xin's indignant face, with no trace of fear or tension, Jiang Chunyu believed him. She quickly smiled: "Lu Xin, I'm actually on your side. After all, we are from the same school. I'm not just your senior, but also your teacher. Li Li clearly wanted to harm you by making you repair the temperature control device yesterday. This morning, Liu Jianhui was clearly trying to frame you and then insult you. I saw all of this and remembered it!"
Finally finding an ally, Lu Xin's eyes welled up with tears. He wanted to throw himself into Jiang Chunyu's arms and cry his heart out. This month in the maintenance class had been so oppressive and frustrating.
However, he was 22, and Jiang Chunyu was 32. Throwing himself into her arms and crying on her ample chest seemed a bit too much. He stood there with tears in his eyes, looking like a victimized little boy.
Seeing this fresh, handsome young man crying, Jiang Chunyu felt sympathy and a surge of hatred for Liu Jianhui and Li Li. Bullying a university graduate from their school was clearly a sign of disrespect for her as a senior and teacher. She would find a way to deal with them.
But she was still puzzled: "Why are Liu Jianhui and Li Li treating you like this? They may not like you, but they shouldn't be so maliciously trying to frame you!"
Lu Xin thought of how Jiang Xueqing had used him as a shield, leading to Li Qiming's revenge, and he felt angry: "It's all Jiang Xueqing's fault!"
"It's all Jiang Xueqing's fault? For introducing you here?" Jiang Chunyu's face darkened. She had a good impression of Lu Xin, but now it was completely gone.
At that moment, her desk phone rang.
Jiang Chunyu glanced at the number, which seemed to be from abroad. She thought it must be her closest niece, Jiang Xueqing, calling from abroad. She quickly put it on speaker: "Xueqing, is that you? How are you doing abroad?"
She put it on speaker to scold Lu Xin in front of Jiang Xueqing and make him lose face.
Jiang Xueqing giggled: "I'm doing well, just adjusting to the time difference. The sky is so blue and the air so fresh abroad, unlike in China where there's smog every few days. I thought the training abroad would be tough, but it's been enjoyable. Aunt, are you and Uncle still not getting along?"
"Xueqing, if you want to recognize me as your aunt, don't mention that bastard!" Jiang Chunyu clearly had deep resentment towards her husband, who was the vice president of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.
"Okay, then, Aunt, how is your work going?" Jiang Xueqing, hearing her aunt's words, quickly changed the subject.
"The teaching and research work at the university is simple, but managing a company is much more complex. I've been adapting for the past six months. I've figured out the quality control, but the equipment is a headache. The equipment is updated frequently, and it's expensive, making procurement prone to corruption. It's a deep water. Well, I won't complain to you!" Jiang Chunyu, seeing Lu Xin standing in front of her, felt it was inappropriate to talk too much with her niece in front of him.
"Aunt, I want to ask you for a favor?" Jiang Xueqing hesitated for a moment: "It's a small favor for you."
"Xueqing, just say what you need. I'll help if I can!" Jiang Chunyu smiled.
"Aunt, I have a university classmate in your division's design center, his name is Lu Xin. I hope you can take care of him!" Jiang Xueqing said a bit shyly, knowing that asking an elder to take care of a male classmate might make them think he was her boyfriend, but she and Lu Xin were not at that stage. If she knew Lu Xin was on the other end of the phone, she would be even more embarrassed.
"Xueqing, this time you might have done a good deed in vain!" Jiang Chunyu glared at Lu Xin.
"Aunt, what do you mean? I don't understand," Jiang Xueqing asked in confusion.
"You introduced someone to Sanjiang Group, and he ended up offending a few colleagues. They bullied him, and he complained that you shouldn't have introduced him to Sanjiang!" Jiang Chunyu coldly snorted: "Isn't that a waste of your kindness!"
Lu Xin was furious inside. Jiang Chunyu, this woman, clearly misunderstood the situation and now dared to mock him for being ungrateful. How dare she! He really wanted to push her to the ground and slap her firm, white buttocks hard.
(During the new book period, the most critical thing is the number of collections, which will determine the survival of the book. I humbly request everyone to add this book to your bookshelf. Thank you!)
