Chapter 82: A permanent solution

Ji Yushu obviously didn't expect that Jiang Lili had even prepared a contract. At this moment, he felt extremely angry. He was her father, but she was so wary of him. What did she think of him?

"There's no need to react so strongly. It's just a normal contract signing. Why are you reacting so strongly? Is there really a trap waiting for me to fall into?" Jiang Lili took a step back after saying this, looking at him in pretended horror.

"Jiang Lili, I'm your father. Don't we even have this little trust between us?" Ji Yushu was really angry. He hadn't discussed custody with Jiang Yulan before. He just wanted to play the emotional card with her when she grew up. After all, she had a good relationship with him when they were young. He didn't expect that she would be so wary of him now.

"So do you still want it?" Impatience flashed in Jiang Lili's eyes. She didn't understand where his defense was broken. It was just that he was doing it on the first day and she was doing it on the fifteenth.

"I want it." Ji Yushu gritted his teeth and took the contract from her hand. He casually glanced at it and signed his name directly. Then he handed it to her: "Where are the design drawings?"

Jiang Lili calmly put away the contract, which she had made in duplicate. If he didn't keep it safe, that was his fault; she had to keep it safe. When she heard him ask for the design, she asked, "Did you bring the money?"

"Of course." So the two of them handed over the money and the picture.

Before leaving, Ji Yushu stared at Jiang Lili for a long time. This time, he truly realized a problem. He suddenly asked, "Lili, do you hate Dad very much?"

Jiang Lili paused while counting the money, then said seriously, "It's not really hatred, I just hope that we won't bother each other in the future."

"Why do you think this way? I was so good to you before, and the conflict between your mother and I was just a matter between adults. Isn't it unfair for you to treat me like this?" Ji Yushu couldn't help but speak.

"When you compared Ji Mingyue with me, when you wronged me for her, when you chose a new family, I thought you had already anticipated today's outcome." Jiang Lili looked at him calmly.

This was the first time that the father and daughter had discussed the matter openly after Ji Yushu's divorce. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back after meeting Jiang Lili's calm eyes. He knew that he had really lost his daughter.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Lili found it a little funny. Are these crocodile tears? Is he regretting that he can't be a blood bag for his new family?

Jiang Lili ignored him and went straight to the factory with the 1,000 yuan. She went to the warehouse first. Sure enough, Jiang Yulan hadn't gone to eat yet and was still reorganizing the spreadsheet on the computer. Jiang Lili reached out and knocked on the door. When Jiang Yulan looked up, she said, "Mom, I'm here to have lunch with you!"

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Jiang Yulan was a little surprised. She didn't believe that she came here specially to have lunch with her.

Jiang Lili didn't say anything. She handed the thousand yuan directly to Jiang Yulan and whispered, "Mom, I want to tell you something. Don't blame me."

Staring at the thousand yuan in her hand, Jiang Yulan had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still nodded gently: "Well, tell me first."

She briefly described her deal with Ji Yushu, then looked up and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've already told Sister Cheng about giving him the design. Even if they correct the flaws in the propeller and it's released into the market normally, it won't pose a threat to us. The cost is very high."

"What if they come to you to make trouble later?" This is what Jiang Yulan is worried about. The older this child gets, the more righteous he becomes.

"It doesn't matter. We have a contract. We'll report to the police every time there's trouble. There's nothing to worry about. If we don't do this, he will definitely keep targeting me. Teaching him a lesson will solve the problem once and for all." This is Jiang Lili's real purpose.

"Now that you've said that, what else can I say? Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first. Your uncle and his family are going to Jincheng this weekend. Do you want to go with them?" Jiang Yulan asked her.

"Go and see which house they choose." She could also give them advice if necessary.

"Okay, I'll go buy the train ticket later." Jiang Yulan said and took her to the cafeteria.

The factory opened more and more production lines and more and more workers, so the cafeteria seemed a bit crowded. Jiang Yulan whispered to her, "Xiao Cheng is planning to open a new production line. I estimate that in two months, the cafeteria will be more and more crowded."

"More is better. If that doesn't work, we can eat in batches." Jiang Lili glanced at the crowded cafeteria, and the smile in her eyes became more obvious. These all represent performance, and performance represents profit. This year, the money distributed to them, mother and daughter, should be more.

"This is a good idea, but when there are too many people, the food won't taste as good as before." This is the only thing that Jiang Yulan is not satisfied with at the moment.

"Then you can report it to Sister Cheng. After all, the cafeteria is very important." Jiang Lili suggested.

"Okay, finish your meal quickly and take a rest. You still have classes in the afternoon. Next time Ji Yushu comes to see you, tell me directly." Jiang Yulan reminded.

"I understand." Jiang Lili nodded, thinking that the next time he came to see her, it would probably be when he was in trouble with the factory.

After the first semester's training, everyone was calm when hearing about the monthly exam. However, my new deskmate Zuo Xingwei was a little nervous. He asked, "Will we continue to change seats after this monthly exam?"

"I think so." Jiang Lili was also a little uncertain. After all, no one could guess what the teacher was thinking.

"Then we can't sit at the same table anymore." Zuo Xingwei benefited a lot from sitting at the same table with her for this month, so he couldn't help but worry that their positions would be adjusted after the monthly exam.

Jiang Lili gave him a strange look and said, "You're not last anymore, aren't you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy, but I'm not happy without you as my deskmate, Jiang Lili. Thank you very much for your selfless sharing this month. Thank you." Jiang Lili was a little uncomfortable with the usually cheerful man suddenly becoming serious.

As Zuo Xingwei had expected, his ranking jumped fifteen places. Jiang Lili remained top of both the class and grade. Everyone was almost accustomed to Jiang Lili being number one. The only one who wasn't used to it was probably Ji Mingyue. She stared at the ranking list posted on the classroom door and quickly lowered her head.

After winter break and constant self-reconciliation after the start of school, Lu Jiaze finally accepted that his grades couldn't keep up with Jiang Lili's. This time, his third-place score was very close. The difference was only two points. He'd almost lost second place, which was a wake-up call. Just as he was imagining Jiang Lili as his enemy, hoping to surpass her, the others behind him were already catching up. He lowered his eyes and stared at the newly handed test paper. He seemed to have forgotten the reason he transferred to this school in the first place.

The seats were changed again according to grades, and the happiest person was Ke Sisi. Finally, she didn't have to sit at the same table with Wu Juyue. She was always sarcastic and she didn't like her at all.

Seats are arranged according to ranking, and even if the ranking fluctuates by one or two places, the seats will be adjusted. So this time, everyone has a new deskmate, and no one dares to say anything. The teacher's trick is really amazing. Just when you are familiar with the previous deskmate, you have to get familiar with the new deskmate again.

Even though Jiang Lili didn't tell anyone specifically about these exams, there were many children of cotton mill workers in the entire grade, so everyone knew about it. When they returned home, they would be greeted with many praises, just like they were back in junior high school and elementary school. Jiang Lili also got used to this kind of life again.

The family went to Jincheng this weekend. Looking at the sleeper berth ticket in his hand, Jiang Aiguo hesitated: "Isn't it too extravagant to buy a sleeper berth ticket for just four hours?"

"Isn't the purpose of earning money to be spent? Hurry up and stop dawdling." Jiang Yulan urged.

"Sister, now that you've made money, you speak differently and you exude the aura of wealth and grandeur." Jiang Aiguo couldn't help but tease when he heard this.

"How can this be called being rich and powerful? Wait until I make more money and then I will show you what being rich and powerful means." Jiang Yulan said with a smile, and the family got on the train laughing and joking.

"Then auntie, can you buy me a lot of dolls?" Little Jiang Qitong quickly hugged her thighs.

"Of course." Jiang Yulan rubbed her head and said. Compared with the hard seat, the sleeper berth would be much more comfortable, and four hours would not be unbearable. After leaving the train station, they went directly to the mother and daughter's house in Jincheng.

"Let's take a rest first and go shopping later." Jiang Yulan suggested. Everyone nodded and no one objected.

This weekend trip was a very pleasant vacation for the Jiang family. Not only did Jiang Aiguo and his family successfully buy a house, but they also visited Jincheng again and experienced firsthand how more developed Jincheng was than Yuncheng. The couple once again sighed at the correctness of this decision.

Ji Yushu's situation wasn't so good. After getting the blueprints from Jiang Lili that day, he rushed to the factory without stopping. He handed the blueprints to the person he was supposed to be working with and said with a flattering smile, "Manager Lin, look, here are the blueprints. Isn't it time to pay me the money you promised me?"

The person called Supervisor Lin glanced at the design in his hand, then readily gave him two thousand yuan. He then took the design back to the factory and began to study it. Although it was a scrap drawing, Jiang Lili still drew it very realistically. Although someone immediately pointed out that the cost must be high, Supervisor Lin quickly dismissed it: "Toys are getting more and more expensive nowadays. If the cost is high, we can just raise the price. Other factories can sell at a high price, so why can't we?"

Everyone else dropped their heads upon hearing this. This was a private factory, and the owner was Manager Lin's brother-in-law, who had given Manager Lin full authority, so no one said anything. Manager Lin then began to have people study the blueprints and make patterns. As Jiang Lili had suspected, these small factories were mostly made-up teams, and they didn't immediately notice any errors in the blueprints. It wasn't until the pattern making failed again and again that everyone realized that perhaps they had made a mistake from the beginning, which was why they couldn't succeed.

Manager Lin was already very angry after several days of failure. You know, this opportunity was something his sister had fought for for a long time. If he could win this time, his brother-in-law would agree to let him officially manage the factory in the future. That's why he was so eager to find someone to buy Jiang Lili's design drawings. He didn't expect that he would be fooled. He kicked open the door of Ji Yushu's house with a lot of anger.
