Hearing Liu Pozi make several extremely shameless demands, Zhou Hongyu laughed in anger.

She crossed her arms and looked at the smug-faced Granny Liu: "Your standards are too high, I can't meet them. Go home now and stop getting in my way!"

After saying that, he turned and went back to his room.

Granny Liu kept yelling and complaining to Granny Chang: "No matter what, we're still relatives. My niece Yanxia is your third son's wife. Zhou Hongyu is being too rude!"

Grandma Chang smiled and said, "We've been neighbors for decades, and you still haven't gotten used to this."

Who told you to provoke her? We're all family, so we have to give in to her in everything.

"Are you upset? My husband has some medicine, I'll go get it for you, but remember to pay him, he's been really stingy lately..."

Before Granny Chang could finish speaking, Granny Liu stormed off in anger.

Granny Liu muttered curses under her breath as she walked out of the Chang family's gate.

She recalled Zhou Hongyu's arrogant attitude, and she was furious.

If the accident hadn't happened back then, Zhou Hongyu definitely wouldn't have married Chang Xingwang. She would have just married a farmer from her family home in the suburbs and lived a hard life working the land. There would have been no chance for Zhou Hongyu to show off in front of him!

Granny Liu stubbornly believed that Zhou Hongyu was so confident because she had married Chang Xingwang!

The person who should have married into the Chang family back then was her family's second daughter, who was Chang Xingwang's childhood sweetheart!

There's a backstory to this, but that's another story.

*

When his wife asked him about the social gathering the machinery factory was holding, the factory manager realized that the gathering had become incredibly popular.

"I have a few nephews on my mother's side of the family. Could you arrange something for them?"

Among them were suitors of female colleagues in Chang Huaying's department.

The factory manager readily agreed.

The next day, the factory director praised Chairman Lin extensively at the meeting, saying how well the matter had been handled and how prestigious it was!

In the past, the mention of the machinery factory's social gatherings was something that everyone hated and no one wanted to attend.

Chairman Lin couldn't help but feel smug; he hadn't expected Zhou Hongyu to pull such a stunt.

He snatched the job from Chairman He with the intention of letting Zhou Hongyu profit from it, hoping that she would look at him with more respect after receiving the benefits.

Zhou Hongyu is such a pleasant surprise!

Chairman Lin responded modestly to the leader's words, while Chairman He, sitting to his left, was almost bursting with anger.

Zhou Hongyu, it's Zhou Hongyu again!

This guy always ruins his plans!

Chairman He has two siblings: himself, Director He, and a younger sister. The younger sister gave birth to a disappointing daughter who couldn't learn anything and couldn't even tighten a screw.

Zhou Hongyu facilitated the factory's new regulations, which meant that Chairman He's niece now had to tighten screws herself, and she couldn't even be paid to cover shifts anymore. If she didn't want to do it, she could only wait to be fired.

"...Old He, is there anything else you want to say about the social gathering?" the factory director suddenly asked, changing the subject.

Chairman He's forced smile—what could he possibly be thinking? He'd better mess this up!

"Factory Director, after listening to what you just said, I was thinking, isn't the selection of people attending the social gathering too monotonous?" Chairman He had an idea. An outsider trying to take away his rights? No way!

"What do you mean by that?" the factory manager asked curiously.

Chairman Lin sensed danger; that guy surnamed He was definitely up to no good.

Seeing how well they've managed to organize the social gathering in their office, I certainly couldn't resist getting involved.

"Factory Manager..."

"Xiao Lin, wait for Lao He to finish speaking!" The factory manager nodded in agreement.

Chairman He gave Chairman Lin a provocative look.

Let me add some ingredients to make it really exciting!

He spoke eloquently: "Factory Director, I think Chairman Lin's subordinates are really capable. In that case, let's help promote this social event so that more people know about it and participate enthusiastically. If we can help create a few perfect couples, then the social event will become a living signboard for our machinery factory!"

"Okay, okay!"

His words received strong support from the factory director and other leaders.

Chairman Lin was so angry he wanted to slam his fist on the table. What a clever scheme!

Since that's the case, Zhou Hongyu can't afford to be taken advantage of; she has to make a killing!

Chairman Lin then made a timely request to the leaders present to allocate more funds for the event.

The finance director immediately raised an eyebrow and looked at Chairman He.

Chairman He is his brother-in-law, and he favors Chairman He.

The factory manager made the final decision: "Okay, we have a lot of orders this year and the finance department has enough funds. We'll allocate you even more funds. You must make sure the social gathering is a great success!"

Chairman He, the smiling tiger: "Xiao Lin, you're new here and don't know anyone. If you need anything, just let me know, don't be shy!"

Chairman Lin: Hehehe, you want my help? Well, then just wait to be ripped off!

After the meeting, Chairman Lin went straight to his office, and he was startled when he opened the door.

The office was full of beautiful girls from Chang Huaying's department. When they saw Chairman Lin walk in without saying hello, they immediately screamed.

Zhou Hongyu blocked Chairman Lin's lecherous gaze, and Sister Sun pushed him away.

"Get out, get out! Let's talk outside!"

Standing in the corridor, Chairman Lin was still leering at the closed office door, speaking in a sleazy tone: "So many pretty girls are coming over, why didn't anyone notify me!"

The tone was as self-righteous as could be.

Zhou Hongyu retorted without hesitation: "Didn't you say you were busy? I'll take full charge of the social event!"

Why are you acting crazy at this time!

Sister Sun nodded, giving him an angry look.

Chairman Lin looked at the bodyguards standing on either side of him, who were protecting several beautiful young women in the office, and took out a warm approval slip from his pocket.
