Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Sha Zhu was taken away and brought to a small dark room opposite Qin Huairu. Although the two could not see each other, they could chat.

After Sha Zhu was brought in, Qin Huairu immediately guessed that the person next to her was Sha Zhu. Her eyes rolled and she began to talk about her difficulties and problems as she did before. At the same time, she secretly hinted to Sha Zhu to take the blame. As long as she could keep her job, Qin Huairu would not hesitate even if she was fined. Anyway, she thought that as long as Sha Zhu was there, she would not suffer much loss. Even if Sha Zhu had no money, He Yushui had, Zhang Yuan had, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai had.

"Shazhu, Shazhu, is that you?" Qin Huairu asked in a tender voice.

Unfortunately, Shazhu didn't say anything.

Sha Zhu's silence made Qin Huairu a little confused. In the past, whenever Sha Zhu heard her voice or saw her, he would appear in front of her like a dog, surrounding her wholeheartedly and trying his best to please her.

"Shazhu, why don't you say anything? I know you are here! Are you still angry with me?" Qin Huairu continued softly.

Sha Zhu remained silent. He knew Qin Huairu's thoughts very well and he didn't want to be used by her anymore.

"Shazhu, don't be like this. You know I didn't mean it. I had no choice but to do this." Qin Huairu said in a crying voice.

"Stop talking. I don't want to hear your voice now." Sha Zhu finally couldn't help but speak, his words full of disgust.

"Sha Zhu, don't believe what they say. You know Sister Qin best. You are the only person Sister Qin can rely on in this world. Now you say these things, which means you despise me and blame me." Qin Huairu cried. Her words were full of complaints and pleading, but in fact her expression was very vicious. She couldn't believe that Sha Zhu would actually resist her and dare to yell at her like that.

"Qin Huairu, stop pretending. I heard exactly what you said to the security guard in the next room. Don't treat me like a fool anymore. Don't you just want me to take the blame for you?" Sha Zhu said firmly.

"I was forced into it. I said those words in a panic. You should know me best. I really had no other choice, so I made this choice. If there were any other options, I would never do this." Qin Huairu looked aggrieved, with tears in her eyes. She spoke in a resentful tone, and then she recited those old classic lines. If it were in the past, Sha Zhu would have been the one to fall for it the most. However, now, Qin Huairu had planned everything, but she didn't expect that Sha Zhu had overheard her vicious face, resulting in her failure now.

After hearing Qin Huairu's explanation, Sha Zhu's defenses began to loosen a little. However, he still remembered Zhang Yuan's warning in his mind, and he knew that he could no longer be led by Qin Huairu. Although Qin Huairu acted so pitiful, Sha Zhu was no longer the Sha Zhu who was easily manipulated.

Sha Zhu said nothing, turned around, closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep. Too many things had happened in the past few days, making him feel physically and mentally exhausted. At this moment, he just wanted to have a good rest and didn't want to be entangled with Qin Huairu anymore.

"Shazhu, Shazhu!" Qin Huairu saw that Shazhu didn't respond, and she secretly guessed that Shazhu might still feel uncomfortable, but the situation was urgent and she couldn't think too much. She knew that time was running out, and if she didn't convince Shazhu as soon as possible, things would get out of control once dawn. So she turned up the volume and kept calling Shazhu's name, hoping to get his attention.

However, Sha Zhu in the next room did not appreciate it. He cursed himself for being so stupid and being deceived by Qin Huairu's beauty. At this moment, looking at Qin Huairu's anxious look, he knew that she just wanted to use him again. In order to avoid being disturbed by Qin Huairu's voice, Sha Zhu quickly took off his clothes, wrapped his head with it, and covered his ears tightly. In this way, he successfully blocked out Qin Huairu's voice and soon fell asleep.

Qin Huairu shouted outside the door for a long time, but still got no response from Sha Zhu, and her inner resentment became stronger and stronger. She gritted her teeth and scolded Sha Zhu for not being a man. It was a pity that she had always treated him as her own brother, but now that she encountered difficulties, he chose to evade responsibility and had no sense of responsibility. She felt extremely disappointed and angry, and felt that her previous trust in Sha Zhu was completely a mistake.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness. However, for Qin Huairu, this morning was destined to be full of despair and helplessness.

When the security staff came in, Qin Huairu had an uneasy feeling in her heart. She looked at them nervously, trying to find some clues from their expressions, but found nothing.

Soon, the security department brought Qin Huairu to an office. The atmosphere was heavy and depressing. Sitting at the desk was Section Chief Liu of the Security Department.

Section Chief Liu looked at Qin Huairu expressionlessly, then said coldly: "Qin Huairu, after our investigation, we have solid evidence that you and Sha Zhu stole factory supplies. According to factory regulations, you will be severely punished."

Qin Huairu's face turned pale as paper when she heard this. She stared at Chief Liu with wide eyes in disbelief. She originally thought that she could be forgiven by crying, but now it seems that everything is irreversible.

Section Chief Liu continued, "Qin Huairu, because your behavior is extremely bad, the factory has decided to expel you and require you to pay a fine of 300 yuan. If you fail to pay the fine on time, you will face more serious consequences."

Qin Huairu's legs went weak when she heard these words, and she almost fell to the ground. Her voice was trembling as she tried to defend herself, "Chief... I know I was wrong, please give me another chance! I promise I won't make such a mistake again. Please, don't fire me!"

However, Chief Liu was unmoved. He glanced at Qin Huairu indifferently, then slowly stood up and walked to the window. He turned his back to Qin Huairu, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Qin Huairu, you should know that our factory has strict rules and regulations. If everyone violates the rules as casually as you do, how can our factory operate normally? This incident has attracted great attention from the factory, and we must deal with it seriously."

Qin Huairu burst into tears, clasped her hands tightly together, and said with a sob: "Chief, I really know I was wrong. Please consider that this is my first offense and give me a chance to reform. I am willing to accept any punishment as long as I am not fired."

Section Chief Liu turned around and looked at Qin Huairu firmly. His tone was serious and firm: "Qin Huairu, we have seen everything you have done in the past two days. Your behavior really disappoints us. Not only that, you also tried to shirk responsibility and put all the blame on Sha Zhu. This behavior is simply outrageous! As a worker, you should know how to abide by discipline and be honest and trustworthy. But you chose greed and deception, which is unforgivable."

Qin Huairu fell into a chair helplessly, tears streaming down her face. She realized that her plea was meaningless, and that she would only be fired. She regretted and blamed herself. If she had not been greedy, perhaps the situation today would not be so bad.

Seeing that her request was fruitless, Qin Huairu felt a little desperate, but soon she came up with an idea. She turned her head to look at Sha Zhu, putting on a pitiful, painful and heartbroken expression. She looked like a woman abandoned by the world, very lovable.

Qin Huairu hoped to arouse Sha Zhu's sympathy and make him stand up to help her without hesitation like before. At the same time, she also hoped to arouse Sha Zhu's inner chauvinism and make him stand up and shout on the spot: "I will take all the responsibility. It has nothing to do with Sister Qin. If there is any punishment, it will be me alone!" In this way, she can successfully get out of the predicament.

However, reality gave Qin Huairu a blow. She did not see the scene she expected in her heart. Instead, she saw Sha Zhu's cold face, turning away heartlessly and not looking at her again. This made Qin Huairu's heart instantly cold. She could not understand why Sha Zhu was so indifferent and heartless. Was he really disappointed in her? Or did he no longer care about her? These questions circled in Qin Huairu's mind, making her feel extremely confused and helpless.
