Chapter 248: Chapter 249: No One Can Snatch Her Man Chapter 248: Chapter 249: No One Can Snatch Her Man Qian Yuanyuan returned to her office, but no matter how much she thought about it, she was filled with rage. She turned to a nearby colleague and asked, “Did a new female colleague join the R&D departnt?”
The colleague, upon hearing this, looked up and said with a smile, “You don’t know yet? There’s a new female director in the R&D departnt who’s about your age.
She’s young and pretty and has already beco a director. She’s quite capable, you know. Are you familiar with our factory’s marinated duck and deep-fried goods? She developed them.”
Of course, Qian Yuanyuan knew about the marinated duck and deep-fried goods; their factory relied on these two products, which had led to soaring performance in the latter half of the year.
Hearing others praise that woman for her beauty and competence, Qian Yuanyuan was seething with anger. She gripped her pen even tighter, her phoenix eyes ablaze with flas.
Even if she beca a director, what of it? Once her father beca the factory director, she would be the head of the human resources departnt, and certainly no less than that woman.
She simply couldn’t believe that anyone would dare compete with her for a man.
Xu Ying exited the factory, her eyes brimming with surprise as she approached Huo Chen. Her smile was uncontrollable, “What brings you here?”
“I heard your factory had so trouble, and I happen to know soone from a duck at factory who could help you guys out,” Huo Chen’s gaze had been fixed on her from the mont she appeared.
“No need, the crisis has been resolved, thanks to my sister-in-law’s father. We’ve started with marinated pork goods now,” Xu Ying explained, then looked at Huo Chen, thinking slyly, “You make good money with your business.
Why don’t you take along!” The mont Xu Ying finished speaking,
Huo Chen firmly declined; he was willing to face dangers alone but certainly didn’t want Xu Ying to be involved.
“That won’t do. You just focus on your job; I can handle earning money.”
Xu Ying’s face fell.
Huo Chen smiled, “The money I earn will all be handed over to you.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying lit up like a little miser, “Just be safe.”
Huo Chen nodded, as he often traveled around doing business, he noticed so erging trends, “Business has already started in the south.
I feel it will soon beco widespread.”
Xu Ying hadn’t expected him to be so well-inford. It was already ’76, and next year the college entrance examination would be reinstated.
Actually, there had been small shops since ’75, and by mid-’76, street stalls began to appear; although they were still sotis raided, it showed that the policies were relaxing.
By ’77, conducting business openly would begin, although there would still be so who might try to cause trouble. But once policies were relaxed, doing business wouldn’t be criminal at all.
The man she was interested in had a knack for business; maybe the two of them could make a fortune together and accumulate wealth for their descendants.
“Huo Chen, are you good at studies?” Xu Ying asked.
Huo Chen felt as if a bolt had struck him. What did she an, if he wasn’t good at studying, he couldn’t be with her?
He was aware of Xu Ying’s academic performance, which had been excellent back in the village.
Huo Chen shook his head, “I only completed elentary school, didn’t finish junior high.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying frowned, her face stern as she patted Huo Chen on the shoulder, “Knowledge is an ocean, we should strive to explore.
Huo Chen, let’s both try hard and study well.”
Huo Chen struggled to keep a straight face; studying hard nowadays wouldn’t amount to attending university, as higher education had ceased. Focusing on making money seed more practical.
But since his wife had spoken, he couldn’t refuse.
“Alright.”
Xu Ying always felt that he had agreed reluctantly.
———
Ti passed quickly, and in a few days, in a village in Xiang County, Mr. Wu sat in his office, guarding the phone for several consecutive days. Yet, not a single call ca from the food factory.
Was Yanqiao about to reach the delivery date, and was the food factory genuinely planning to breach the contract?
Thinking about this, Mr. Wu felt a surge of anger and imdiately called for Yang Dezhen. “Why hasn’t the food factory co to ask for our help? Have they already found a new partner?”
Yang Dezhen didn’t know what to say; after all, it was his idea that he gave to the factory director. If it didn’t work out, he wouldn’t only offend the food factory but also Mr. Wu, and there would certainly be no good end for him.
Yang Dezhen now regretted it extrely.
“Director, that shouldn’t be the case. The food factory needs so much duck at, and the other duck at factories have long-term partners. How could they allocate so much duck at to the food factory?” Yang Dezhen’s forehead was covered with sweat, but he still tried to remain composed.
Mr. Wu couldn’t contain himself any longer. Hesitating, he picked up the phone and deceitfully called the food factory.
Mr. Sun had just finished a eting and returned when he heard the phone ringing. Picking it up, he heard it was Mr. Wu from the Duck at Factory. His face imdiately turned sour.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Wu?”
Mr. Wu, sensing Mr. Sun’s displeased tone but not hearing Mr. Sun ask for help, beca sowhat curious.
“Mr. Sun, I didn’t intend to breach the contract intentionally. It’s mainly because the demand in your factory suddenly increased, catching us completely off guard!”
Hearing this, Mr. Sun snorted coldly. If it had been Factory Director Yang before, who hadn’t assured him that they had ample supply, he might have believed Mr. Wu’s words.
Now, knowing that they had enough supply, Mr. Wu’s words felt especially ironic to him.
“Oh, if there’s a shortage, there’s a shortage. Our food factory doesn’t rely solely on your factory. There are plenty of others willing to earn money. If you’re not interested, just pay us the breach penalty. We have other options,” Mr. Sun said breezily.
Mr. Wu’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a sudden pang of doom.
“Mr. Sun, what do you an? Haven’t you always worked exclusively with our factory?”
Old Sun sneered coldly. “Mr. Wu, our food factory is a large establishnt and we have nurous partners. How could we possibly work only with your factory? Initially, Xiao Xu helped you out because your factory was in trouble, but we never expected to nurture an ingrate. However, we’ve learned our lesson. Please prepare the breach penalty promptly, as our cooperation ends here.”
Mr. Wu felt dizzy and trembled uncontrollably, his palms sweating profusely.
He finally panicked.
Yang Dezhen, hearing this, felt his legs go weak and could hardly stand steady.
He had caused a huge disaster.
“Mr. Sun, we didn’t intentionally breach the contract; it’s truly because we are short on supplies,” Mr. Wu lowered his stance and started apologizing. “Mr. Sun, it’s our factory’s fault, but we genuinely are short on supplies. Please forgive us this ti.”
Mr. Sun, breathing heavily through flared nostrils, outright tore into him. “Don’t give that crap. The Factory Director Yang you previously coordinated with assured us of ample supply, and suddenly you’re short? Don’t think I’m unaware of your little sche. Are you taking advantage of this situation to pressurize us into raising prices? You earn a tidy sum in these troubled tis. Prepare the breach penalty quickly, or we’ll et at the police station.” Mr. Sun hung up right afterwards and, thinking about Mr. Wu’s current state of panic, felt his recent displeasure instantly vanish.
He felt extrely pleased.
