Chapter 796 I've long since stopped tolerating her
Fang Qing immediately pounced on Tang Xiaofen, grabbed her hair, and slapped her hard across the face.
Taking advantage of the situation, Tang Xiaofen grabbed Fang Qing's hair and slapped her back, and the two started fighting.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaotong, who was hiding in the shadows, rushed out and shouted, "Fang Qing, stop!"
She pulled Fang Qing away and kicked her, knocking her to the ground.
She didn't go to see Fang Qing, but rushed to see Tang Xiaofen.
"how's it going?"
Tang Xiaofen tidied her hair and shook her head. "I'm fine."
“You…” Sigh! Never mind, I’ll talk about it later.
Ye Xiaotong glared at Fang Qing, "Fang Qing, what are you doing? How dare you hit someone at your workplace? Don't you want to keep your job?"
Fang Qing used to look down on Ye Xiaotong, but things are different now. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Fang Qing said timidly, "Manager Ye, I didn't do it on purpose. She... she littered first. I asked her to clean it up, but she wouldn't. Instead, she broke my broom. I got angry and hit her. Besides, she hit me too."
Ye Xiaotong glanced at the scraps of paper on the ground and said, "If there's trash on the ground, why don't you just sweep it up? You're a cleaner, what are we paying you to do here?"
Fang Qing bit her lip.
Ye Xiaotong shouted, "Answer me, what did I send you here for?"
Fang Qing then said in a low voice, "Let me do the cleaning."
"That's settled then. We paid you to clean up, not to watch people litter. We hired a cleaner, not a sanitation inspector. If you're so capable, does that mean I have to pick up every piece of trash I throw away?"
"Ah? That's not what I meant."
"So what do you mean? Your job is cleaning, why would you give your job to someone else?"
Fang Qing: "Manager Ye, you can't be so biased. It takes two to tango, why are you only scolding me?"
Ye Xiaotong said, "You work here and are paid by the company, so you have to obey the company's leaders. Ms. Tang is different. She's not an employee here and doesn't receive a salary from the company, so why should I say anything to her?"
"What?" Fang Qing was a little confused.
Ye Xiaotong said, "Ms. Tang signed a contract with us, not an employment contract. She is a business partner."
what?
It took Fang Qing a while to process what was happening.
"I didn't know, I'm sorry." She looked at Tang Xiaofen and said, "You should have explained it to me clearly. If you hadn't stepped on my broom, I wouldn't have acted so impulsively."
Ye Xiaotong looked at her with disdain and said angrily, "You can't hit people like that. Didn't you read the employee handbook? Anyone who fights will be fired immediately, no matter what the reason."
Fang Qing's eyes widened, and she staggered.
Ye Xiaotong grabbed a nearby employee who was watching the commotion and said, "Tell HR to send someone over to terminate Ms. Fang's contract. Just say it's my idea, Ye Xiaotong's."
Upon hearing that she was going to be fired, Fang Qing panicked and hurriedly grabbed Ye Xiaotong's hand, "Manager Ye, I apologize, I was wrong, I'm sorry, please don't let me go?"
Ye Xiaotong withdrew her hand and said calmly, "I'm sorry, the company's policy doesn't allow for any special treatment."
After saying that, she pulled Tang Xiaofen away.
Ye Xiaotong led Tang Xiaofen into her office, took out some medicine from her drawer, and applied it to her.
Tang Xiaofen tilted her head and smiled, saying, "I'm really fine. Fang Qing didn't have much strength in those two blows. I can take a lot of beatings."
These words saddened Ye Xiaotong.
I used to be... pretty resilient.
"It's alright, keep using it."
"Okay, thank you."
While Tang Xiaofen was applying the medicine, Ye Xiaotong asked, "We originally agreed that as long as you had a conflict with her, it would be fine. Why did you wait for her to hit you instead of dodging her?"
Tang Xiaofen paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I was in the wrong for deliberately littering and breaking the broom. I was afraid that if we argued, I wouldn't be able to get rid of her, and that would cause you trouble. Fortunately, I didn't suffer any losses; I fought back."
"I just stopped her from doing it, there was nothing she could do anyway... Sigh!" Ye Xiaotong sighed softly.
However, considering that Fang Qing is shameless and difficult to deal with, kicking her out for no reason might cause trouble and damage the company's image.
Just then, Lin Yuyao came in.
"Xiaofen, I heard you got into a fight with Fang Qing? Are you alright?"
Tang Xiaofen glanced at Ye Xiaotong and gave her a meaningful look.
“Miss Lin, I’m fine. I broke Fang Qing’s broom by stepping on it, which angered her, so she hit me.”
Lin Yuyao took a deep breath, looked at Ye Xiaotong and said, "Fire Fang Qing."
"Okay, Yuyao, I'll go check with HR."
"Row."
After she left, only the two of them remained in the room.
Lin Yuyao said, "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."
Tang Xiaofen smiled faintly and said in a relaxed tone, "It's okay. My conflict with Fang Qing predates your acquaintance with her. If we don't fight here, we'll fight if we run into each other outside. If we fight here, at least you're on my side. If we fight outside, we'll probably both end up in the police station and get a slap on the wrist."
Hearing her say that, Lin Yuyao smiled and chatted with her casually, talking about her changing her household registration and how she was now supporting a large family on her own.
Tang Xiaofen was very grateful to Lin Yuyao. "Our family is doing very well now. After taking on this waste recycling task, I no longer have to worry about my child's tuition fees."
She smiled sheepishly and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I was really worried about my children's schooling. They'll be starting primary school next year, and the tuition, textbooks, uniforms... all sorts of things will cost double. We have a whole family to feed, and the rent is getting more and more expensive. Luckily you helped me, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and said, "It's no trouble at all. It's just a small favor. If I don't give it to you, someone else will have to do it."
“Last time I was able to escape, I borrowed money from you guys for my travel expenses. Apart from you guys, among the people I know back in my hometown, there really isn’t anyone who can lend me a few dozen yuan right away.”
Lin Yuyao: "It was just a small favor."
"And..." Tang Xiaofen paused for a moment and said, "If you hadn't gone to the Wang family that year, I might... never have been able to escape."
Lin Yuyao: "Didn't you say you were saving money to leave?"
Tang Xiaofen shook her head and sighed softly, "It's not that easy. I've never left those mountains in my entire life. I don't even know where I'd go if I left. I have children. If I run away, I might not even be able to bring them out. If my daughter falls into their hands, she'll probably suffer the same fate as me."
Putting everything else aside, even if I hadn't seen what happened to Wang Jianguo when I got to Nancheng, I might not have had the chance to escape so easily. I was the laborer for that family, and Jiang Mei was the supervisor; she kept a close eye on me.
Besides, if Wang Jianguo hadn't gone to jail, I might not have been able to divorce him so smoothly. In their minds, there's no such thing as a divorced woman; she'd rather die in their house. Now that both children are with me, and my mother is with me too, it couldn't be better.”
