Chapter 476 He’s Kind of Like the Boar in Our Village

Chapter 476: He's a Bit Like the Boar in Our Village

Cai Xiaole took the day off today, making the office unusually quiet.

As usual, Jiang Yu packed up and left when it was time to go home.

Ever since she had a falling out with Wei Nan, she treated him as if he were invisible.

Just as she stepped out of the office, she saw He Qianqian rushing over in a panic.

"Those people who complained about you are acting like lunatics, causing a commotion in the factory manager's office, demanding justice for Wei Nan."

Jiang Yu stood still, her face darkening slightly.

"Truly mad, what kind of mentality is this?"

What charm does Wei Nan have that makes these people so crazy?

He Qianqian frowned, "Maybe it's because he has charisma."

Wei Nan, who had just stepped out, heard this and couldn't help but smile, looking quite pleased with himself, yet maintaining an air of scholarly elegance.

Before he could get closer, He Qianqian continued, "He's a bit like the boar in our village. That boar doesn't need to take responsibility for the sows; his job is just to stay healthy and impregnate them."

Seeing Wei Nan's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot, Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Qianqian, that description is spot on."

He Qianqian kept a straight face, speaking with utmost seriousness.

"I’m not joking. Deputy Section Chief Wei is really like that. He seems to be kind to everyone, especially the female comrades in the factory."

When he sees a female comrade injured, he will gently inquire and buy medicine for her.

When he sees a female comrade crying, he will promptly offer a handkerchief and patiently listen to her grievances.

His attitude is ambiguous, as if he is equally gentle to everyone, yet makes each person feel unique.

He Qianqian roughly calculated that these seemingly casual small acts happen to him every day, with different people involved.

She stuck out her tongue, "I was wrong just now; even the boars in our village aren’t as impressive as him."

Wei Nan’s face grew darker, "What is Department Head Jiang talking about? Why don’t you tell me?"

He Qianqian’s expression changed, and she looked at Jiang Yu nervously.

She hadn’t expected Wei Nan to overhear her words!

Jiang Yu smiled, "Deputy Section Chief Wei, we were discussing the differences between certain men and boars."

Wei Nan snorted coldly, glanced at He Qianqian, and walked away.

Jiang Yu noticed that he was heading upstairs.

"Qianqian, go have your meal first. I’ll check on the director’s office."

Wei Nan is a petty person; who knows how he might stir things up.

If everyone gets too emotional later, it could lead to someone getting hurt.

He Qianqian patted her stomach; she felt that compared to eating a meal, she wanted to eat some melon more.

"Sister Jiang Yu, I’m worried about you. I’ll go up with you and take a look."

"Hehe, let’s go up quickly."

If we’re late, the excitement will be over.

The two of them followed a step behind, heading upstairs to the factory office.

Before they even went up, Jiang Yu could already hear how rowdy those people were.

Swearing to defend Wei Nan to the death, fearing he would be wronged.

In two words: crazy.

A few male colleagues couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to reason, "These matters will be handled by the factory. It’s not your place to cause a commotion here. What relation is Wei Nan to you?"

"Deputy Section Chief Wei isn’t related to us, but such a good person shouldn’t be treated unfairly. We’re doing this for justice!"

Wei Nan stood to the side, smiling bitterly, and said helplessly, "I deeply appreciate everyone’s concern and support for me, but there are some things we shouldn’t interfere with. Still..."

"Deputy Section Chief Wei! Don’t be afraid, we all support you!"

"Yes, speak up about your grievances, and we will all stand up for you!"

"Sniff, sniff, Deputy Section Chief Wei is such a good person, how can anyone bear to hurt him?"

"..."

Factory Director Zheng listened to their words, feeling his head was about to explode.

Have they taken some kind of mind-altering drug?

Wei Nan looked at Factory Director Zheng and smiled bitterly, "Director, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this..."

Zheng waved his hand, "So many people speaking up for you shows that Deputy Section Chief Wei is well-liked. But after all this talk, I still don't know why you're here."

Wei Nan was stunned. Didn't they say it?

Factory Director Zheng played the fool well, saying, "Everyone only mentioned that Deputy Section Chief Wei has been wronged, but no one said what the wrong was. Since you're here, there's no need for others to relay it. Why don't you tell me yourself?"

Before Wei Nan could speak, he continued, "Deputy Section Chief Wei, go ahead and speak your mind. I'll stand up for you."

Wei Nan was speechless; he wanted to keep things ambiguous and vague.

He only needed to hint, and others would fill in the blanks.

But he couldn't be vague in front of Factory Director Zheng.

"Deputy Section Chief Wei, why aren't you speaking? Do you not trust me to stand up for you?"

Wei Nan smiled, "Not at all, I've always known that Factory Director Zheng is the most upright and fair."

Zheng snorted, "Then speak."

Wei Nan shook his head, "I haven't been wronged. It's just a misunderstanding."

As soon as he said that, someone immediately came forward to refute him.

"Clearly, it was Jiang Yu who stole your credit. Why don't you dare to say it?"

"Do we even need to say it? Jiang Yu is the department head, and her husband is also a section chief. The factory director will definitely favor her."

"If Deputy Section Chief Wei offends Jiang Yu, how will he manage in the publicity department in the future?"

Factory Director Zheng was truly impressed by their imagination.

"Deputy Section Chief Wei, is what they said true? Did Jiang Yu steal your credit?"

Wei Nan's face again showed a look of hesitation, appearing troubled and as if he had much to say but found it hard to express.

A single expression conveyed a thousand transformations.

Factory Director Zheng suddenly felt that it was a pity Wei Nan didn't pursue acting.

"Just say what you have to say," he said with patience.

Wei Nan still shook his head, looking like he was enduring great injustice.

"Department Head Jiang has been very good to me. She did not steal my credit."

Factory Director Zheng responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "So they are just spreading rumors, slandering Department Head Jiang, and causing trouble, right?"

Wei Nan was greatly alarmed, "No..."

He was caught between a rock and a hard place, his face turning red with urgency, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Damned Jiang Yu, damned Factory Director Zheng. These two are truly difficult to deal with.

Those who spoke up for Wei Nan were even more indignant.

"Deputy Section Chief Wei, just speak your mind. It wasn't your fault in the first place!"

"That's right, with so many of us here, you should voice your grievances!"

"Tell the factory director how Jiang Yu stole your credit!"

Wei Nan gritted his teeth; he had no choice now but to admit it.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be disappointing those who were speaking up for him?

"Factory Director Zheng, I am indifferent to fame and fortune. I truly don't care about these things. I originally intended to let the matter rest, but since so many people are standing up for me, I can't let them down."

Factory Director Zheng sighed inwardly; every word had to be twisted around eighteen times. Speaking was truly exhausting.

"Just say it."

Wei Nan said, "I was the one who contacted the new supplier for the synthetic fibers. Once the major details were settled, Department Head Jiang suddenly asked me to hand over the matter to her. She is my superior, so I couldn't refuse..."

Factory Director Zheng nodded, "Go on."

"I don't actually think Department Head Jiang is trying to steal my credit. We're all in the same department, so there's no real difference."

Factory Director Zheng disliked his roundabout way of speaking.

He asked directly, "Just tell me, do you agree with what they're saying about Jiang Yu stealing your credit? One moment you say she did, the next you say she didn't. How am I supposed to handle this?"

Wei Nan was momentarily at a loss for words, staring blankly at him.

"This... this..."

"Earlier, Director Xue recommended you, and after reviewing your file, I thought you were quite capable. Who knew you'd be so indecisive? How am I supposed to assign tasks to someone like you!"

Wei Nan's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly said, "Although I don't mind personally, Department Head Jiang's actions were indeed inappropriate."

Factory Director Zheng exhaled, suppressing the urge to hit someone.

"So you agree with what they said."

Wei Nan nodded hesitantly, "I agree."

For those two words, Factory Director Zheng felt he had exhausted his lifetime supply of patience.

"Do you know that when you first handed over this supply channel to Jiang Yu, she reported it to me? I've always known it was your achievement and never credited it to Jiang Yu as you claimed!"

Even in her report, Jiang Yu wrote Wei Nan's name without signing her own.

"Deputy Section Chief Wei, if Jiang Yu wanted to take credit, she wouldn't have signed your name on the report."

Wei Nan was stunned, quickly realizing he had been misled by Jiang Yu.

"Factory Director Zheng, perhaps I misunderstood..."

Factory Director Zheng scoffed, "Your misunderstanding goes beyond just this one incident. Let me make it clear: the contributions Jiang Yu has made over the years are enough to secure her position as department head until retirement. Unless she commits an unforgivable crime, the factory won't fire her! Your small achievement is not worth her attention."

"I think her vision isn't so short-sighted."

These seemingly casual words struck Wei Nan like a sharp slap in the face.
