Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 495: Don’t Moralize Her with Moral Rhetoric

The speculation made Su Xiaoxiao’s lips twitch slightly.

She wasn’t particularly afraid of their retaliation.

If their families were really capable, they would have ways to arrange work for their children, and would never send them to the Machinery Factory to work in a steel mill.

And people who are quick to label others tend to be selfish and timid.

They only dare to bully those who are weaker, challenging someone with more authority would be through the pretext of someone else.

Her father had held a leadership position in the factory for so many years, and he wouldn’t be scared of these people.

But even though she wasn’t afraid of the retaliation from the thirty-four people, Su Xiaoxiao still felt deeply disgusted by Xiong Tianze’s actions.

No wonder her father couldn’t get along with the leadership of the Machinery Factory.

She hadn’t even said much yet, but she already felt like she was disgusted by this person as if he were dog dung.

"Comrade Su, we’ve gone too far earlier. Please don’t hold it against us and forgive us this time," someone softened their tone when they saw that the situation was really under Su Xiaoxiao’s control.

Others quickly followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I don’t have a job, and I’m already in my twenties and still can’t get married. My parents are so worried about me they can’t sleep at night. If you don’t let me participate in the recruitment exam, aren’t you forcing my family to die?"

"Everyone is responsible for their actions. If you want to cause trouble and gamble, you should bear the consequences, no matter what the outcome is," Su Xiaoxiao refused to buy into their excuses.

In her previous life, she had died because she couldn’t set her pride aside and had fallen for moral blackmail. In this life, no one was going to make her suffer the same way.

Those people still wanted to say something, but Su Xiaoxiao turned her gaze to Xiong Tianze.

"Factory Director Xiong, when can we start the exam? We can’t just let them make a scene like this."

Xiong Tianze felt a little awkward and could only furrow his brows as he looked at the people who were still making noise.

"Enough! Stop making a scene! This matter is non-negotiable. Go back to your seats and get ready for the exam."

"Factory Director Xiong, please, give us a chance!" someone begged desperately, almost crying.

But Xiong Tianze certainly didn’t want to fall out with Su Xiaoxiao over these people. He could only sternly say, "Get back to your seats, or I’ll have to call the security team."

Today was the recruitment exam for five hundred people, and nearly eight hundred had shown up.

To avoid any incidents, the security teams from both Steel Mill and Machinery Factory had been called in to help.

Seeing that there was no way out, those people could only lower their heads and obediently leave the classroom.

Some of them were still dissatisfied and cast resentful glares at Su Xiaoxiao.

But Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care about their impotent rage.

"Alright, everyone sit down. Let’s start the exam," Xiong Tianze called out, signaling to the other people in the classroom.

Everyone quickly returned their gaze to their papers and passed the test sheets down.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the list of names on the desk. After memorizing them in a few seconds, she walked past each person, checking their names, and then confirmed who the thirty-four people who were kicked out were. Only then did she return to the podium.

Xiong Tianze looked at Su Xiaoxiao several times.

Clearly, he had something to say, but he didn’t know how to start.

Previously, when her father wasn’t easy to approach, they had thought about bypassing Factory Director Su and talking directly to Su Xiaoxiao.

But after what had just happened, Xiong Tianze realized that this soft-spoken young lady wasn’t someone easy to talk to.

He thought to himself that maybe he should look at her a little longer and wait for her to come to him.

However, his gaze was practically burning with enthusiasm, and yet Su Xiaoxiao seemed completely unaware of it.

Xiong Tianze grew a little annoyed, feeling like her father must have said something to her, which was why she was ignoring him.

But it was difficult to get someone out like this, and if he didn’t say something now, he wasn’t sure when he’d have the chance to speak with her again.

Taking a deep breath, Xiong Tianze finally smiled and asked, "Comrade Su, what made you think of designing energy-saving stoves?"

Here it comes! Finally!

He couldn’t hold back his frustration any longer.

Su Xiaoxiao screamed in her heart, but her face remained calm, and she casually replied, "I just thought regular charcoal stoves weren’t warm enough, so I wanted one that could warm up more, cook things, and be safer."

"You really have a talent for this. You’ve never done it before, but once you decided, you were able to make it," Xiong Tianze praised her with admiration.

But Su Xiaoxiao didn’t respond; she only gave him a faint smile.

"So, what else do you plan to research next? We’re about to hire five hundred people, but the energy-saving stoves will eventually reach saturation. If we don’t have new products in the future, we might not even be able to pay everyone’s wages," Xiong Tianze continued.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t think about it much and directly shook her head. "I don’t have any other ideas for now. I’m not specifically researching these kinds of things. Besides, the energy-saving stoves were just developed not long ago. Even professionals wouldn’t be able to come up with new products so quickly."

"I heard from your father that you plan to go back to the countryside? Why not stay here in the city? You could be with your parents and fulfill your filial duty," Xiong Tianze tried to persuade her.

But Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. "My parents are still young. I’ll return after a few years."

"You’re so intelligent. It’s clear you’re suited for brain work. Going to the countryside to do physical labor is a waste," Xiong Tianze initially didn’t intend to phrase it like this, but this little girl was just like her father—stubborn and hard to talk to.

"I’m also very strong. Just now, three guys couldn’t beat me in arm wrestling. If I go to the countryside to work hard, I’ll definitely earn a lot of work points every day," Su Xiaoxiao said proudly.

Xiong Tianze was speechless.

If she were his daughter, he would have directly poked her on the head and said, "Do you really like farming this much?"

But saying that now would be a big mistake.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao in front of him, she didn’t seem like the kind of person who could actually work the fields.

Xiong Tianze thought for a moment and decided to change the topic.

But before he could speak, someone suddenly raised their hand.

"Factory Director Xiong, my stomach hurts."

"How did you suddenly get stomach pain? If you leave now, you’ll have to submit your paper," Xiong Tianze frowned.

This exam covered both high school knowledge and safety in production.

It was to ensure they weren’t just goofing off in high school and also to see if they had a sense of safety work.

Of course, the most important thing was that there were too many people applying for work. Without a standard to evaluate them, no one would be satisfied.
