"I'm fine. It's almost all healed," Su Yang said as he pointed at his own face.
"It's good that you're fine." Qiao Yu sighed deeply and took out 50 cents from her pocket before continuing, "I didn't watch that movie and I don't know how much you paid for the ticket. Take this money as my compensation."
Qiao Yu thought to herself, "Don't accept it! Don't accept it! You'd better not accept it!"
She was giving him 50 cents just for show. This was so that Su Yang would think that she was not a greedy person. What she was doing was called casting a long line to catch a big fish.
If she made Su Yang happy and he bought her more things, then she would have benefited.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yang was too embarrassed to accept the money from Qiao Yu. That day, when he gave her the movie ticket, everyone in the factory knew about it. If he took the money from Qiao Yu now, he did not know what others would say about him behind his back!
Besides, Qiao Yu was so concerned about him. How could she be a bad woman? She must have really wanted to compensate him. He definitely could not accept this money!
"Take it back. The ticket is for you. It's up to you whether you go or not," Su Yang said.
Qiao Yu quickly put the 50 cents into her pocket, afraid that Su Yang would go back on his word and reach out to take it. She said happily to Su Yang, "Then I'm going to go to work. Goodbye."
Su Yang quickly grabbed Qiao Yu's hand and said, "I'll wait for you after work tonight. Let's go and have dinner!"
Qiao Yu agreed to Su Yang's request shyly. She could not miss out on such a good thing. Tonight, she must eat all the meat she missed out in the past few days!
The team leader of the workshop was inspecting the speed at which everyone in the workshop was doing their work. The higher-ups had sent word that they wanted her to teach Qiao Yu a lesson so that Qiao Yu would do more work and not be a busybody.
She was just a minor team leader, so she had to follow all the arrangements made by the higher-ups. The strange thing was that not long ago, Qiao Yu had said that her relatives were prominent people. It had only been a few days, but it seemed that the situation had changed.
"You! Why are you only here now! I'm noting down that you're late," the team leader of the workshop said as she pointed at Qiao Yu who came in late.
Qiao Yu's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the team leader of the workshop. There was no one else around who was late. Could she be talking about her?
In the past, the team leader of the workshop would turn a blind eye to such things. She had never been angry with Qiao Yu or deducted her salary. What was going on today?
"Me?" Qiao Yu asked as she pointed at herself.
"Then who am I talking to! Yes, you! Hurry up and return to your position to work! If you can't finish your work in the morning, you can't go for lunch!" the team leader of the workshop said sternly.
Qiao Yu hurriedly ran back to her seat. The others also whispered to one another, no one knowing what was happening.
"Oh my, the tables have turned. I'm afraid somebody's good days are coming to an end! Hahaha!" Sister Li said loudly to everyone.
Qiao Yu turned around to look at Sister Li and said, "Sister Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Sister Li threw the shuttle in her hand arrogantly onto the machine and said smugly, "I always eat well! I'm telling the truth. I don't lie!"
"Who lied!" Qiao Yu shouted loudly.
"Who knows who's lying! We're all upright people who have relied on our own abilities to survive in this factory. We all know very well who's up to no good," Sister Li said.
Qiao Yu had nothing to refute. She lowered her head and went back to work. She must do her work quickly, otherwise she would be delayed from going out for dinner with Su Yang tonight.
Seeing that Qiao Yu ignored her, Sister Li also turned around and went back to work.
The situation in the factory also gradually changed. Many people who were afraid of offending Qiao Yu in the past now began to look down on her.
The people who had been taken advantage of by Qiao Yu back then also began to think of ways to get Qiao Yu to return the favor. Even those people who wanted to "woo" her now slandered Qiao Yu behind her back.
People even said that she had offended her relatives and that it had something to do with the news from the dormitory that Qiao Yu had borrowed someone else's clothes to go on a blind date.
