Chapter 78 Gossip
woolen mill,
Noon, workshop.

Most of the workers have gone to the cafeteria to eat, and only a few are left watching the machines running, waiting for others to come back to take over.

"Hey? Have you heard that our deputy factory director's young wife is not honest?"

"What do you mean by dishonest? Didn't Deputy Director Xu just get married?"

"Dishonest means going out and cheating on our Deputy Director Xu."

"Ah? Is this true? Deputy Director Xu is not bad looking, would his wife go out and look for someone else?"

"So what if he's handsome? Domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, and wild men outside are more exciting."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Yong shouted angrily, "Do you still want to do this?"

Several people's faces suddenly changed, and they hurriedly stood up to explain, "Technician Wang, please don't take my idle talk seriously."

Everyone in the factory knows that Wang Yong has a good relationship with Xu Muchuan. If this word gets to the ears of Deputy Director Xu, they will all have to pack up and leave!

Wang Yong's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes swept over them one by one. "Since you know it's just gossip, you should keep it to yourself. If I hear anyone talking nonsense again, don't blame me for getting angry!"

"Yes, yes, we promised not to say it again."

"Technician Wang, we are not talking nonsense here. These rumors have already spread throughout the woolen mill."

"You can shut us up, but you can't shut everyone else's!"

"..."

Wang Yong frowned, "Does the whole factory know about this?"

"Ah, we swear, it was not our first words!"

"I first heard the conversations of the old ladies in the factory. They had a lot of details..."

The wrinkles between Wang Yong's brows deepened.

"Don't worry about what others say, just keep your mouth shut!"

After saying that, Wang Yong turned around and left the workshop.

"Huh~" Several people breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call just now. They wondered if Wang Yong would complain to Deputy Director Xu.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." The man who started the discussion waved his hand indifferently, "Wang Yong won't tell anyone!"

"How can you be so sure? They have a good relationship."

"Wang Yong is one of the people who has an affair with Xu Muchuan's wife. If Wang Yong tells our deputy director, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?"

"No wonder Wang Yong was so angry just now. It turns out he couldn't bear to hear his lover being wronged."

"Shh, let's keep our voices down so no one can hear us!"

"..."

Wang Yong left the workshop and went straight to the deputy director's office.

Xu Muchuan had just taken a bite of the steamed bun he got from the canteen when he was startled by Wang Yong who suddenly rushed in.

"Bang——" The wooden door of the office was suddenly slammed open.

Xu Muchuan frowned as he looked at the crumbling door. "If it's broken, I'll deduct the money from your salary!"

"Whatever!" Wang Yong rested his hands on his desk, his expression serious, "Have you ever heard any gossip in the factory?"

"What gossip?" Xu Muchuan asked casually as he continued to add more dishes and eat steamed buns.

"It's about my brother and sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, Xu Muchuan stopped using his chopsticks.

Clear pear?

"I don't know which bastard spread the rumor! He said that my sister-in-law is dishonest and cheated on you. Now the whole factory knows about it!"

Wang Yong clenched his fists. “Could it be that the factory director spread it? He’s deliberately trying to embarrass you in the factory! This old bastard loves to do little things behind your back. Forget about other things, but he dares to ruin my sister-in-law’s reputation. No matter what, I can’t let him off!”

Xu Muchuan's dark eyes were filled with anger.

"What do you think?" Wang Yong looked at him without saying anything, then saw that the fingertips holding the chopsticks in his hand were turning white, indicating that he was exerting force.

"Investigate!" We must investigate thoroughly! Let's see who said these things. Xu Muchuan finished his meal and went straight to the cafeteria. Wang Yong was a little panicked when he saw his aggressive attitude. Could he be looking for a fight? !
The gossiper should be taught a lesson, why does Xu Muchuan look like he wants to beat him to death?
He hurriedly ran after him.

canteen.

Xu Muchuan grabbed a random person by the collar and asked, "Who told you these rumors about my wife?"

The first "unlucky guy" was stunned.

"I, I don't know any gossip."

"I'll ask you one last time, who told you that?" Xu Muchuan said sternly.

"Listen, listen to what she says..." The "unlucky guy" pointed at the "second unlucky guy".

The bustling cafeteria immediately became quiet.

"You, don't talk nonsense, I..."

The accused hurriedly denied it, and when he met Xu Muchuan's fierce black eyes, he changed his words, "It was her, I heard it from her."

The whole cafeteria was in chaos——

They all pushed the blame onto others.

Soon, the last person was asked.

"Who told you that?" Xu Muchuan asked again.

The man stammered and couldn't say anything, "I, I" There was no one left, the person in front had already said everything that could be said in the factory.

"Turns out it's you, kid!" Wang Yong pointed at his nose angrily.

"It's not me," the man said, wanting to cry, "I also heard it from others."

"Then who told you that? You can't tell me, it's you who said it!"

"I," he confessed, seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, "the factory director's wife told me to say that. She paid me to say that in the factory."

"Wen Lian!" He knew it was related to her. Xu Muchuan pulled the man's arm and said, "Let's go!"

"...Forget it, I..." The man was scared. This was going to be a face to face confrontation. No matter who he offended, he would definitely lose his job at the woolen mill. If he had known there would be such a risk, he should never have agreed to Wen Lian at the beginning. He was just too greedy for small gains.

Those who loved to watch the fun followed him, and Wang Yong wondered, could it be that he was going to the factory director's house?

This huge group of people is quite conspicuous!

Xu Muchuan dragged the man to the factory director's office.

The factory manager frowned and looked at Xu Muchuan, "Why don't you take a break in the middle of the day?"

"You say." Xu Muchuan pushed the man aside.

The man fell heavily onto the factory director's desk.

All the objects on the desk fell to the ground with a loud clatter.

"Xu Muchuan! Don't think that just because you are the deputy factory director now, I dare not do anything to you. I am still the factory director!" The factory director slammed the table and stood up. Xu Muchuan was obviously looking for trouble. If he swallowed his anger today, he would have no status in the factory in the future!
Xu Muchuan was not in a hurry and waited for the man to speak.

"Factory, factory director, it's really none of my business. It was my wife who asked me to spread the news that the deputy director's wife was not doing what she wanted. I said it according to my wife's wishes. It has nothing to do with me."

The factory manager didn't know what was going on, and frowned, "What a mess!?"

"Wen Lian has been spreading rumors about my wife in the factory. I want to ask the factory director what to do about this matter?"

Xu Muchuan's tone was cold.

"What rumors are you spreading about your wife?"

"She said she cheated on the deputy director,"

The factory manager's eyes went dark, it really seemed like something as stupid as Wen Lian could do!

I finally know who my stupid son takes after.

Like mother, like son.
