The old man who had a quarrel with Melissa yesterday came over, red faced. He reached out his trembling hand and held Melissa. Seeing that Aaron didn't seem to have any aversion to him, he quietly let out a sigh of relief. "Miss Melissa, let it go. It doesn't make any sense... Otherwise, even you will be implicated by us! "
Melissa quickly calmed down and said, "Don't worry. I am also a worker. I have never said how noble my identity is. I'm not as good as you think. Don't worry. We are on the same boat. As long as I'm alive, I won't let you be bullied by others! "
Melissa said with a smile on her face. She looked very kind.
The old man's eyes were vague, and then tears welled up in his eyes. He nodded, and retreated to the side, waiting for Melissa's arrangement.
Melissa pushed away Aaron's hand, and then stood on the higher stairs. Shaking her hand, she gave a sign to the workers not far away from her and explained, "Hmm, I think the people are almost here. Let's cut the ribbon when ZERO comes in. As for those reporters, they are uninvited, so you don't have to worry about that. If they have any questions, you can ignore them. I don't care what others think of me, but you all have to be good, understand?"
The old man walked to the front, then he gave a thing in the basket to Melissa fawningly and said, "Okay! Miss Melissa, these are sixty small scissors. We bought them yesterday. They look really joyous in red! We choose a big one especially for you. Let's go up together then. It must be fun! "
Melissa then tightly held the scissors in her hand and smiled, "Yes. I think, it will be very beautiful! "
There were sixty people except Melissa, so they have sixty one scissors after ZERO came back. Each of them had exquisite scissors in their hands, which looked a little funny.
But Melissa didn't feel funny at all. Instead, she walked up to the front with a serious face, and led the sixty peasants to the front.
Instead of rushing to the front, Melissa put the microphone on the collar of her shirt and said, "This day is special, because it is the fruit of our effort for three months. Everyone had taken good care of Melissa during the time! If you hadn't worked hard together, you wouldn't have achieved what you are today. Do you remember that when we took over this project together, everyone said it was impossible? But we made it not in one year, nor in half a year, but three months! We made it! We made a miracle! "
Melissa didn't dress herself up deliberately today. She looked a little shabby compared with the workers. But to the workers, Melissa was like a goddess. She was so untouchable and inviolable.
Melissa raised the scissors in her hand high and then turned off the microphone. "So I'd like to thank you. I hope we can make more miracles in the future! Cut! We don't need too many reasons. I have witnessed your efforts, your tears and sweat. I'm not a senior executive. I'm just like you. We are people living under the same blue sky. There should not be lowly or noble people. So in the future, you should hold your head high and hold yourselves high, because you have the ability!"
These words seemed to have taken a lot of energy, because she was now gasping.
But this sentence got a lot of response!
The other sixty people lifted the scissors in their hands at the same time. Then the sixty workers were neatly arranged in a line under the guidance of Melissa.
Click.
The red silk ribbon, which should have been tied tightly, suddenly fell down.
In addition, thunderous applause was followed.
The smile on the face of Melissa didn't seem to stop. After a while, she reached out her hand and pinched her face.
Her inadvertent move was inexplicably attractive.
However, before this joy could restrain, there was a sudden noise around.
Before she could react, Melissa felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. As she lowered her eyes, she saw a bright scissor was put into her belly.
Astonishment was written all over her face.
The man in front of her, however, didn't seem to feel guilty at all. He forcefully pulled the scissors out, threw it away in disgust, and then shouted, "Melissa, today is your last day!"
The place became chaotic. Melissa even forgot to fight back.
