Chapter 173: Another Complaint (2)
Chen Meng’er had the same thoughts as Elder Liu. That incident was in the past, and she had not taken it to heart. But she had not expected that the Zhao family would hear about it again.
Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu had no intention of going out. When the two of them heard about this, they subconsciously chose to turn around and leave. However, just as Elder Liu was about to close the door, a sharp woman’s voice came from inside the door. “Elder Zhao, this matter was originally not a big deal. Manager Zhao wouldn’t have been so angry. It was all because of those two country bumpkins and that little girl. Yes, it was all because of that little girl. If she hadn’t meddled in other people’s business and sent people to find Manager Zhao, this matter wouldn’t have been a big deal at all.”
“Zhou Mei, you’re here to admit your mistake today. Although this matter isn’t entirely your fault,” the man’s voice said, he rejected the sharp woman’s voice once again, but his words weren’t any better.
Elder Zhao’s voice didn’t come from inside the house. But when Elder Liu heard this, he couldn’t stand still. He pushed open the door that he was about to close. Before Chen Meng’er could stop him, Elder Liu Strode into the Zhao family home. Actually, Chen Meng’er didn’t want to stop him.
Originally, this matter had ended here. She wasn’t someone who wouldn’t let go of a single thing. However, the other party wasn’t satisfied. He actually went to Elder Zhao to complain. It would have been fine if Chen Meng’er didn’t know about this matter, but the bad thing was that it happened to be heard by the two.
“What? You guys look down on others and didn’t fulfill the responsibilities that a salesperson should have done. Don’t tell me you’re being reasonable. You took the salary paid by the state, but you didn’t complete your job and were fired. This was a matter of course. You actually had the face to come to the Zhao family and complain to Old Zhao. What? How do you want to deal with this matter?” Elder Liu’s face was dark, looking at the two unfamiliar faces sitting on the sofa in the Zhao family’s living room, he cursed.
“Elder Liu, why are you here?” Seeing Elder Liu who had suddenly barged in, Elder Zhao was momentarily unable to react.
“HMPH, why am I here? If I hadn’t gone with Meng’er on a whim today, I wouldn’t have known that someone would actually come here to report Meng’er to you. This is really outrageous. I didn’t even look for trouble with them, yet they still dare to hold onto this matter.” Although Elder Liu’s face still didn’t look good… however, when he faced Elder Zhao, his expression softened slightly.
“Who are you? What right do you have to criticize me? You don’t know what happened.” That woman… it was that salesperson called Zhou Mei. Although she was a little afraid of Elder Liu, because her uncle was by her side, she believed that her uncle wouldn’t allow her to be bullied. Therefore, she suppressed the fear in her heart… she opened her mouth and spoke.
“He is my grandfather. Didn’t you ask your uncle to help you? Can’t I ask my grandfather to help me? Also, my grandfather knows the development of the whole matter. I think it’s because your uncle still doesn’t know the whole story.” Chen Meng’er did not expect that, in the eighties, there was actually a phenomenon of relying on one’s backer.
Luckily, Chen Meng’er wasn’t someone who didn’t have a backer. If she wanted to rely on her backers, she, Chen Meng’er, could still do it.
When Chen Meng’er was speaking, Elder Zhao saw Chen Meng’er following behind Elder Liu. Who asked Chen Meng’er to be so small? Elder Liu stood in front and completely covered Chen Meng’er. “Meng’er, you’re here too. Why? Does this matter have anything to do with you?”
Hearing Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu’s words, Elder Zhao asked with some uncertainty. Elder Zhao really didn’t know about what happened in the department store last week. His daughter, Zhao Yinghua, was also busy with work. Every time she returned home, she was in a hurry. The father and daughter couldn’t speak much, so Zhao Yinghua also forgot to tell her father about this matter.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Zhao had been letting Zhou Caijun go. Zhou Mei said that he didn’t reply at all because he didn’t know what was going on. When he didn’t fully understand the development of the matter… it wasn’t good for him to speak up for Zhou Caijun.
“What? You don’t know about this. Your daughter didn’t tell you?” Elder Liu thought Elder Zhao knew about this matter. He originally blamed Elder Zhao for not speaking up for his granddaughter, Chen Meng’er.
Elder Zhao shook his head. “I don’t know. Yinghua has been very busy recently. How would she have time to talk to me about this? I was thinking of asking Ying Hua before expressing my opinion.”
“Grandpa Zhao, the little girl that Auntie mentioned is me, and the country bumpkin that they mentioned is my uncle and aunt. “It’s like this.” Chen Meng’er told Grandpa Zhao the whole story in detail.
As Chen Meng’er spoke, Zhou Mei’s face turned paler and paler. Zhou Mei’s uncle, Zhou Caijun, looked at his niece with a fierce gaze.
Before he came, he asked his niece, Zhou Mei, who she had offended this time and if she had any background. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been fired because of this matter. He remembered it very clearly, his niece had told him with certainty that those people did not have any background. They were all country bumpkins. She had been expelled because Zhao Yinghua from the Zhao family happened to see her. Zhao Yinghua happened to be in a bad mood, so they had to cut her open.
Zhou Caijun heard his niece’s words and thought that he knew Elder Zhao. For such a small matter, he would bring some things to visit Elder Zhao and ask his niece, Zhou Mei, to apologize to Zhao Yinghua, the young miss of the Zhao family, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
However, when he saw Elder Liu walk in, although he didn’t know the person and didn’t know the identity of the person, he, Zhou Caijun, had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he still had good eyesight, otherwise, he wouldn’t have climbed to the position of Deputy Director of the Financial Bureau without any relationship. He could see that the person’s identity was extraordinary.
The more Zhou Caijun heard the tone of the person talking to Elder Zhao, the more he was shocked by the identity of the person. The bad premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He secretly hated himself for believing his niece’s words so easily. He did not investigate thoroughly and rashly brought his niece to the Zhao family to stand up for her..
