Chapter 53 Opening Ceremony

Chen Jinyue ordered a total of two hundred cups of milk tea.

Another hundred cups were delivered to workers working overtime on the first floor of the factory.

But some people in the factory are far less grateful than the soldiers at the border.

"Raising a girl like this is just hopeless! Look at how much money he's wasting on treating outsiders to milk tea, and he doesn't even give a cent to his family!"

"That's right. I heard her brother was beaten by debt collectors, but she didn't even go to see him!"

"The Chen family is unlucky to have raised an ungrateful person!"

"Even milk tea can't stop you from drinking it, right? If you have the guts, just stop drinking it!"

"Which distant relative of the Chen family are you, that you are speaking for his family like this?!"

“…”

The reactions to this incident in the factory can be roughly divided into three groups.

A group of people madly slandered Chen Jinyue for being ungrateful.

A group of people who hated evil came to Chen Jinyue's defense.

There is another group who are indifferent and occasionally sway back and forth.

…

Chen Jinyue didn't go to the factory often, so she knew nothing about this. She went about her daily routine, delivering two more shipments to Jiang Qian'an. After she finished delivering the quilts, the factory's grand opening ceremony finally arrived.

Manager Zhang was as considerate as an old lady. He called her early in the morning to remind her to dress a little more formally.

But young people should be energetic, but not too formal or old-fashioned. It is best to wear light makeup.

Chen Jinyue took out a silk shirt and paired it with a slit skirt, looking elegant and restrained. She was about to put her long hair up, but found that she couldn't find the hairpin she had used before.

She thought about it, found a low-key plain jade hairpin from the box of antiques Jiang Qian'an had given her, and tied her hair into a low bun.

I listened to the advice, put on some light makeup, and drove towards the factory...

The factory's parking lot is full today.

All of them were invited bosses of all sizes from the county, and they came with a curious attitude to see this prestigious university student who had turned the tide against the odds.

It’s just a pity that they arrived too early and only Manager Zhang was there to receive them.

Looking at Chen Jinyue coming from a distance, Manager Zhang's eyes lit up, "Boss Chen looks like a boss today!"

Chen Jinyue was a little anxious and didn't even notice his strange compliment. "With so many people here, why didn't you rush me? Wouldn't that seem rude?"

Manager Zhang said calmly, "No, the leaders haven't arrived yet, and neither has Mr. Zhou from Yuyuan Pharmaceutical."

There is no doubt that the big boss only receives VIPs.

Chen Jinyue felt a little relieved, and then stood beside him, being assisted by him in receiving several county leaders. He almost lost his way in the constant praise of "young people are formidable".

"It turns out that the leader's words can be so nice!" Chen Jinyue whispered to Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang was already familiar with her and spoke in plain language. "Everything depends on whether you've boosted the county's economic growth. This is the first time I've received such treatment."

Chen Jinyue, “…”

Her smile remained unchanged, but she felt a little guilty inside.

I wanted to resell some small items in a low-key manner, but now it seems that I can’t be low-key anymore.

Just as Chen Jinyue was thinking this, he saw a group of people carrying long guns and microphones getting out of a car.

"Local TV station? Manager Zhang, aren't you being too high-profile?!" Chen Jinyue couldn't hold back his smile.

Manager Zhang also looked bewildered. "I didn't invite them."

Chen Jinyue, “???”

She turned and looked at him.

The two looked at each other and had a bad feeling at the same time.

Just then the phone rang, and Chen Jinyue instructed, "You go to receive it, I'll answer the phone."

A group of people walked over. The middle-aged man in the lead watched Chen Jinyue leave and asked with a smile, "Manager Zhang, is that your boss Chen? Why did he run away? Why are you so afraid of facing the camera?"

Manager Zhang frowned and looked at him with a probing look. Why did he feel that this person was not very friendly?

"How could that be? We've already taken on tens of millions in debt, so this is just a small matter." He said half-jokingly, "Everyone, sign in here first. Boss Chen is waiting for her guests."

The middle-aged man smiled, "What kind of guest? More important than our county leaders, and coming so late?"

Manager Zhang smiled slightly, "Maybe, as famous as you, Reporter Wang?"

Reporter Wang shut up, "..."

I forgot that I arrived later than the leader.

The call Chen Jinyue answered was from Zhou Yichuan. The voice on the other end was cold and said, "You have quite a few people here today. There are no parking spaces left. Ask someone to park for me."

Chen Jinyue looked around and saw Manager Zhang talking to a customer. The others were either old or unfamiliar to him.

"Let me help you stop."

“???”

Zhou Yichuan was speechless for a moment, "Forget it, that's not necessary."

Having said that, Chen Jinyue still went to the parking lot to pick him up in person.

The car was parked carelessly in front of her warehouse door.

"The environment in the county is like this, Mr. Zhou, please be patient." Chen Jinyue was afraid of neglecting him.

Zhou Yichuan got out of the car with a frown on his face. Qingjun was obviously dissatisfied, but when his eyes fell on her, he paused for a few seconds in amazement.

Chen Jinyue's outfit today is professional but not rigid, a change from her previous student look. Her delicate face is lightly made up, and she looks cool, elegant and beautiful, with a unique flavor.

"It's quite presentable."

Chen Jinyue blinked, "Is this a compliment?"

Zhou Yichuan said, "Be more confident, it's a compliment."

The man walked in front, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with an upright posture. Compared with his previous reserved and casual look, he looked more business-like.

To be honest, when he doesn't say anything unpleasant, he is quite decent.

The two entered the venue one after the other, followed by several bodyguards, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.

Some people are born to be the center of attention.

When Zhou Yichuan arrived at the scene and greeted the county leaders familiarly, many small bosses surrounded him eagerly.

"It's unexpected that Boss Chen knows Mr. Zhou." Someone said in surprise.

Chen Jinyue smiled and was about to say a few polite words when she heard Zhou Yichuan speak, "The lawyer who helped Ms. Chen with the estate distribution is my friend."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked at Chen Jinyue with somewhat subtle eyes.

This relationship is not simple!

Does Mr. Zhou's words mean that he is Chen Jinyue's backer?

Everyone was guessing what Zhou Yichuan meant by this, only Chen Jinyue's eyes twitched.

Perhaps this is simply the literal meaning.

It was because of Lawyer Chang that they had some connection.

But saying this in this kind of situation would cause some ambiguity, he couldn't possibly not know that, right?

…

After the guests have signed in, the host will give an opening speech. After introducing the background and scale of the factory, he will invite the factory owner to come on stage to speak.

Chen Jinyue had hosted historical and folklore activities at the university, and was quite fluent in official language.

"Dear leaders and distinguished guests, good morning. I'm delighted that you've come to witness the grand opening of Shengyu Garment Factory. On behalf of all the factory staff, I'd like to express my gratitude to you all. I faced considerable challenges right after taking over the factory, and my success today is inseparable from the hard work of the team and the help of all the uncles and uncles..."

At this moment, a sudden voice from the audience shouted, "You speak so righteously here, but privately you fire your relatives and monopolize the factory. Is this your way of thanking people?"

"You forget your roots after making a little money and even want to kill your own brother. How can an ungrateful person like you have the qualifications to stand here!" someone echoed.

"Do you know how your grandparents have been spending their time these days?"

“…”
