"Xiao Luo, have a seat; don't be nervous." Chairman Zheng didn't look up, busily writing something in her notebook.

There was a separate office for the union, with a long, dark brown table in the center, surrounded by several chairs, and Chairman Zheng sat at the table inside.

Chu Xia smiled at Chairman Zheng and said, "Okay, thank you, Chairman."

She didn't need to pretend; she had a tired look on her face the whole way here, with a miserable pale complexion. One glance at her can tell that her body is very weak.

Chairman Zheng glanced up and was surprised. "Oh my, are you sick, Xiao Luo? Why do you look so pale?"

Chu Xia waved her hand and smiled again, with a hint of feigned strength. "Chairman, I'm fine. It's just that my body is a bit weak. I can't walk much without feeling exhausted."

Chairman Zheng was known as an iron lady at the textile factory. When she was a female textile worker, she was frequently recognized as a provincial labor role model.

Later, after becoming the union chairman, she continuously worked for the factory's employees, resolving their difficulties.

The people who worked with her in the union had similar temperaments. Even among the factory workers,they never had a sick beauty like Chu Xia. The previous owner was the kind who would endure her illness and be like everyone else.

Therefore, at first glance, Chairman Zheng was worried that she might be frightened if she raised her voice, especially since she was a comrade and had been hinted that she should be looked after more.

Chairman Zheng spoke gently and kindly, using her half-century of experience to feign tenderness. "Xiao Luo, ah, your body is too weak; you need to take good care of yourself. Have you encountered any difficulties in your life?"

Chu Xia heard Chairman Zheng's attempt to speak with a softer tone, and she almost burst out laughing.

But she held back. As soon as Chairman Zheng's words fell, she lowered her head, didn't say a word, but tears rolled down her face and her nose sniffled, looking very wronged.

Chairman Zheng panicked, no longer pretending to be gentle, and shouted loudly, "Xiao Luo, do not cry ah! If you have any grievances, tell me. The union exists to solve the workers' difficulties! If anyone dares to bully others in the factory, the labor union will be the first to disagree!"

"Chairman, you are such a good person. You don't know, last night someone caught us mother and son and bullied us, taking advantage of the fact that my husband wasn't at home."

Chu Xia held Chairman Zheng's hand with tearful eyes, crying and pouring out her grievances, telling her exactly what happened last night.

Chairman Zheng had asked Chu Xia to come for this matter, and she was already angry, but hearing this made her even angrier.

"Pah!" Chairman Zheng slammed the table hard. "What the heck!"

Chu Xia was startled, and Chairman Zheng hurriedly said, "I'm not scolding you. Don't be afraid. Xiao Luo, rest assured, I will definitely resolve this matter for you. Our factory absolutely will not tolerate bullying of the weak!"

Chu Xia looked at her as if she were a hero, her eyes filled with admiration. "Chairman, you're amazing. Chairman, apart from this matter, I have something else to discuss, cough."

Chairman Zheng was moved by this look and felt like a big hero who saved people from fire and water; her heart was full of grandeur. "What is it? As long as I can help, I'll solve it for you."
