Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: I’m Not Close to Her

"No, I can’t be fired." Bo Xue was frantic.

If she got fired, would she ever have a moment’s peace at home again?

She had been so smug and arrogant with her in-laws before—wasn’t that all because of this job?

And, of course, because of her slight connection to the Ruan family.

Now, she had neither.

How could her in-laws possibly treat her well now?

"I already admitted I was wrong, so why fire me?"

Bo Xue could neither understand nor accept it.

She stormed directly into Director Geng’s office.

"Director Geng, you can’t fire me—"

When Director Geng saw her come in, his expression soured.

"Comrade Bo Xue, correct? This was a decision made in a factory leadership meeting. Your actions have caused serious negative effects for our factory, so you are hereby terminated."

Bo Xue’s eyes were terribly red, and her voice was choked with tears.

"Isn’t it enough that I know I was wrong? Let me apologize to Comrade Fu Mingxue—I’ll never do it again. Please, Director Geng, take back the decision to fire me."

Director Geng looked at her, his voice calm.

"Comrade Bo Xue, this matter is already settled. I hope you will conduct yourself appropriately in the future. Wherever you are, you must be careful with your words and actions. Please leave now. Otherwise, if I have the security department escort you out, the impact on you will surely be even greater."

Bo Xue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Does the factory really have to fire me? Won’t you even give me a chance to make it right? Even a demotion would be fine—" Tears streamed down Bo Xue’s face.

Director Geng was not the least bit moved by her tears.

He said with a cold expression,

"You’re from the propaganda department yourself; you should naturally understand all our factory’s rules and regulations. You knowingly violated them. That’s enough, hurry up and go! Otherwise, I’ll have Captain Fang from security personally escort you home."

His words made Bo Xue’s face change drastically.

Seeing the director bury his head in his work again, she knew there was no room for negotiation.

She immediately left, crestfallen and red-eyed—

After returning to her office to pack her personal belongings, she found that the personnel department had already processed her termination paperwork.

She hadn’t been very good at getting along with people before, and she had offended quite a few colleagues in her office.

In any case, once she was fired, not a single one of her former colleagues came to comfort her.

Bo Xue left the factory in utter torment.

The moment she got home, her mother-in-law was surprised. "Why are you back now? Did you get off work?

Bo Xue’s face turned pale—how could she tell her she had been fired?

"Wait, what happened to your face? How did you get hit like that?" Shen’s mother had only been surprised about her daughter-in-law coming home early, but now she noticed the red, swollen face.

"Who hit you?" How did she end up in a fight at work?

Just then, an angry male voice suddenly rang out, "She should be explaining why she got fired—"

The man who walked in was Bo Xue’s husband, Shen Guoliang.

Shen’s mother was utterly shocked. "What? You were fired?"

Bo Xue was panicking. "I, I was—"

Granny Shen asked urgently, "Hurry up and say it, what on earth happened? Were you really fired?"

"If she won’t say it, I will..." Shen Guoliang then recounted everything he had heard.

This infuriated Granny Shen.

Such a good job, and she’d just thrown it all away.

Bo Xue felt wronged, too. "—It’s really not my fault! Ruan Hongfei put me up to it! Besides, I never thought it would be this serious."

’If I had known this would happen, I never would have done it.’

Shen Guoliang and his mother were about to die from anger.

Fu Mingxue remained undisturbed by these external affairs; she knew Qin Wenhao would handle everything well.

However, when she went to the cafeteria for dinner at five-thirty in the evening, she did overhear people discussing Bo Xue’s dismissal.

Fu Mingxue was completely unfazed by the matter.

After dinner, she was called to the Group Six laboratory.

The one who spoke was the deputy group leader, Chang Qingze:

"Group Leader Fu, this cooling system isn’t working. We ran a test, and after only ten minutes of the shaft rotating, the temperature already exceeded the specified parameters. Could you come take a look and see how to solve it?"

Fu Mingxue had them show her the recorded data, including the information on the materials—

...

"Did that Ruan Hongfei come to our house yesterday? What did she want with you?" Lü Feng’s question startled Zhu Xiaohong so much that she almost dropped her bowl and chopsticks on the table.

Her strange reaction immediately aroused Lü Feng’s suspicion.

"What’s with that expression? Don’t tell me you were involved in this matter too?"

Of course, Zhu Xiaohong couldn’t admit it.

She immediately said, "What could I possibly be involved in with her? I don’t even know her that well. Yesterday, she just asked me about that Fu Mingxue person. I’m a complete stranger to Fu Mingxue; I’ve only seen her once. What could I possibly know about her?"

She was, of course, aware that Ruan Hongfei had been kicked out of the Art Troupe today.

The news had spread quickly; probably the entire family courtyard knew about it by now.

She had been shocked by it, too. ’How did it get so serious that she was fired?’

’What kind of trouble did that Ruan Hongfei cause?’

She was anxious and panicked—terrified that she would be implicated through her connection to Ruan Hongfei.

It had kept her on edge all afternoon!

Fortunately, even after panicking all afternoon, no one had come looking for her.

This allowed her to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
