The security guard thought her story sounded plausible, so he didn't dare delay and called Sheng Yueqing first.

When Sheng Yueqing heard that Zhang Dahua had come looking for her, she didn't take it to heart and casually said, "Let her wait in the guard room. I'm working."

The gatekeeper sighed and told Zhang Dahua to wait in the gatehouse.

Zhang Dahua looked around the guardhouse. The room wasn't big, but it was quite warm.

Moreover, there were quite a few guards inside, a total of five or six imposing and strong men.

They all look like thugs; their fists are huge.

Feeling she couldn't beat these people, she sat quietly and asked the gatekeeper, "Was this factory really opened by Sheng Yueqing?"

The security guard sensed something was off about what he was hearing.

"Aren't you my boss's adoptive mother? How come you didn't know?"

Could she be a fake foster mother?

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Dahua quickly put on an act, "Oh, you don't know, when this child was little, he got lost and was found by my father-in-law."

"Now that the child has found his biological mother, he has naturally gone back."

“She hasn’t contacted us all these years, and we don’t know anything about her. I only came to find her because I missed her.”

She portrayed herself as a pitiful person abandoned by Sheng Yueqing, hoping that others would pity her and accuse Sheng Yueqing of being heartless.

The security guard didn't believe her.

They still trust their own boss's character.

All of these people came from impoverished families, and it was Sheng Yueqing who saved their lives.

Even any employee in the factory has received favors from Sheng Yueqing.

But Sheng Yueqing never asked them to repay her, so they didn't believe a word Zhang Dahua said.

The security guard retorted to Zhang Dahua, "You said you raised our boss, so why wouldn't our boss contact you?"

If there's any sense of loyalty or affection, how could we not keep in touch?

Unless there is some grudge, they will never see each other again.

Nobody's stupid; they won't be easily fooled by her.

Seeing that they didn't believe her, Zhang Dahua continued to play the victim, "Back then, my family was poor and couldn't afford to feed and drink her well, nor could we afford to send her to school. It's understandable that she resents me."

Why was the security guard so skeptical? "Our boss isn't that kind of person."

Zhang Dahua feigned pitifulness, "Yes, she didn't do it on purpose. After all, it would be embarrassing for such a big boss to let people know that she used to live in the countryside."

These words were veiled, and even the gatekeeper frowned.

"Then tell me, how did you treat my boss in the countryside?"

If they really treated her like their own daughter, her boss might have taken her to the city to raise her.

They wouldn't just leave it here and ignore it like this.

Zhang Dahua didn't expect them to be so hard to fool. She racked her brains to put on an act, saying, "I'm just a country woman and I don't know how to raise children. Plus, my family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat. I can't afford to give her anything good to eat. Sigh, I feel guilty about it."

“She resented me for not giving her anything good, and I didn’t dare to come to see her. Now I really miss her, so I came to see her.”

After saying all that, she glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces.

But everyone was busy with their own things, and no one said a word.

Zhang Dahua didn't expect these people to be so unresponsive, so she had to ask herself, "When will my eldest daughter come out?"

We've been waiting for so long, and Sheng Yueqing still hasn't arrived.

The security guard said indifferently, "Our boss is working, you'll just have to wait."

"If you can't wait, go back first and come back another day."

Zhang Dahua didn't want to make a wasted trip.

She looked out the window at the factory with envy.

Such a big factory must have made a lot of money, right?

She couldn't help but regret that if she had treated Sheng Yueqing better back then, she might have gotten a share of the money.

However, she didn't think she had done anything wrong back then. She wasn't even his biological daughter, and it was already kind of him to give her a place to live.

Now that Sheng Yueqing is so wealthy, what's wrong with giving her some money for her retirement?

With this in mind, Zhang Dahua felt motivated and continued to wait.

If Sheng Yueqing doesn't come, she'll go and cry to her after the factory workers leave, making her lose face.

I don't believe she can open a factory while having a bad reputation for her adoptive mother. She'll have to pay her hush money eventually, won't she?

Zhang Dahua is forgetful of past mistakes and still thinks she can control the whole situation.

I'm just waiting for the factory to close.

At lunchtime, the factory closes for the day, and the employees all go to the canteen for lunch.

Seeing so many people, Zhang Dahua wanted to go in.

But the guard's room was locked, and she couldn't get in.

He told the security guard, "Open the door for me, I'll go in and look."

The gatekeeper remained unmoved, saying, "You're not one of the factory's employees, you can't go in."

Zhang Dahua retorted angrily, "I'm your boss's adoptive mother, so I'm practically your boss too. How dare you stop me?"

The gatekeeper saw her true colors, cold as an iceberg.

"Unless you are a factory employee, you cannot go in."

This is a set rule, and no one can break it.

Zhang Dahua said angrily, "Then call Sheng Yueqing out. I've been waiting for so long."

She waited until noon, was Sheng Yueqing deliberately ignoring her?

The security guard noticed it too.

The boss must have been deliberately ignoring this old woman; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept her waiting here and wouldn't have even let her in the door.

The security guard's attitude became even colder.

If you can't wait, go back first and come again next time.

Zhang Dahua refused.

“Call Sheng Yueqing, and I’ll talk to her.”

Sheng Jinjin was waiting at home; she couldn't afford to return empty-handed.

He urged the security guard to call Sheng Yueqing.

The gatekeeper remained unmoved.

Zhang Dahua was annoyed by their cold attitude.

"Are you going to hit me or not? If not, I'll make a scene."

Seeing that she looked like she was about to yell at the gate, the security guard immediately covered her mouth, and the two of them lifted her up and took her directly to the bus stop.
