Chapter 57 The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Office of the factory director of Huai'an Garment Factory.
"Old Li, do you think Rongcheng will agree to our demands?" The speaker was the technician who had fled with them.
He looked worried as he gazed at the factory manager, who remained calm and unhurried in his chair, and grew anxious.
"Heh, who cares? I'm retiring next year anyway, so what does it matter to me whether I get this project or not?" Director Li picked up a cup of hot tea and sipped it calmly.
"Old Li, you can't say that. We all came here with you back then. Now we're mortal enemies with Rongcheng. You can easily walk away, but what about us veterans?"
Although the technician is nearing retirement age, his son is still working at the garment factory!
Not everyone is as capable as Li Fucheng, who managed to send his own child to the capital.
"Alright, Lao Zhang, let's not talk about this anymore. I've noticed that you've lost all the drive you had when you were young. Relax, what can that brat from Rongcheng do to you? Can he kill you?"
"Old Li, what we did back then is really hard to believe! And I heard that this brat's current wife is the daughter of an official in Beijing. If he wants to get revenge on us, isn't that a piece of cake?"
Upon hearing what Technician Zhang said, Factory Director Li paused in his tea-drinking.
But it only lasted for a moment.
"Old Zhang, I'll handle this. You can go back now."
After Technician Zhang left, leaving only Factory Director Li in the office, his face immediately darkened.
"This little brat is really lucky. If I had known, I should have..." Director Li's face was sinister and terrifying.
"Old Zhang, you should be very familiar with the scapegoat thing. Last time it was Old Wang, and this time it should be your turn..."
A soft, amused whisper rang out in the office.
Outside the office, Technician Zhang remained incredulous, still knocking on the door.
Old Li, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!
...
"Yu Rou, go turn Wen Li over and wipe his body." Chen's mother got angry whenever she saw Jiang Yu Rou, but the family still needed her, so she suppressed her temper despite her dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yurou truly regretted it at this moment.
I usually only feel a little regretful when I've been wronged or when I'm too tired from work.
Now she regrets it all the time.
Good heavens! Who would have thought that Chen Wenli would develop a unique stench after being bitten by a poisonous snake?
She now has to share a room with her sister-in-law, Chen, every night.
That smelled absolutely awful!
"You're the one who's talking to me, why don't you go yourself?" Jiang Yurou stuffed her nose with toilet paper, but the stench in the room still couldn't stop it from seeping into her nose.
"Ugh~"
As she spoke, a foul odor seeped into Jiang Yurou's mouth, and the smell was incredibly pungent.
Upon hearing Jiang Yurou's words, Chen's mother, unusually, did not get angry; instead, her face was filled with joy.
"Yu Rou, are you pregnant?!"
Jiang Yurou wanted to roll her eyes. This wasn't pregnancy at all; she was clearly being overwhelmed by the stench emanating from your son!
However, to be honest, it seems like she hasn't had her period for a month!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yurou's face showed utter panic.
She wants to have a child to solidify her position, but her current situation is really not suitable for having a child!
Jiang Yurou turned pale when she thought of the village woman she saw giving birth in the field during her last work shift, and how she was able to continue working the next day.
Because given the Chen family's character, they are truly capable of doing such a thing.
The next morning, Jiang Yurou went to the place where the oxcarts were parked in the village without even washing her face.
Whether it was psychological or not, she felt nauseous while sitting in the oxcart.
After arriving at the hospital and receiving the test results, Jiang Yurou looked at the doctor with anticipation.
"Doctor, I'm not pregnant, am I?!"
But the doctor's answer shattered her illusions.
"What do you mean you're not pregnant? The baby is almost two months along. Alright, you have to make your own decision about whether you want the baby or not. If you don't want it, get an abortion as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to handle when the baby grows up."
Doctors have seen this kind of thing many times, so their tone is always calm and composed.
When Jiang Yurou left the doctor's office, she looked completely dazed.
What to do? She really is pregnant with Chen Wenli's stinky child.
Will this kid inherit his smelly gene?
As Jiang Yurou walked into the hospital with a worried expression, she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of her eye.
Xia Wanli? What's she doing at the hospital?
Jiang Yurou tiptoed and secretly followed.
Obstetrics and Gynecology?
What is she doing here, a grown woman?
How did she end up in the doctor's office she had just gone into?
As far as she knew, this doctor seemed to specialize in pregnancy and childbirth.
Thinking of something, Jiang Yurou was instantly furious.
Her life as a wealthy wife was facing the biggest threat of her life, and she had to eliminate it.
Thinking of something, Jiang Yurou, who had been frowning all day, finally smiled. But this smile looked sinister no matter how you looked at it.
...
"Xixi, I feel like we might not be able to complete this mission. I'm going to call the transport team now."
Wei Laicheng's face was full of frustration. In recent days, they had tried various methods more than once.
This included, but was not limited to, waiting outside the factory gate for the factory manager, or having one person distract the gatekeeper while others rushed in, and even using Mrs. Jiang's connections to contact the Rongcheng Broadcasting Station for a passionate plea...
But all of these plans failed without exception.
"Wait a little longer. You haven't even settled into your position yet. If you fail to complete this mission, how will you survive back in the transport team?"
"I'm afraid you won't get past your chief engineer!"
Jiang Xixi considered things more comprehensively, unlike Wei Laicheng who acted impulsively.
Moreover, she had a feeling that this matter was not so simple, and if they could figure out the clues behind it, they would definitely have unexpected gains.
Her premonition was blessed with good luck, so you can't ignore it.
"Let's go out for a walk. You're not the only one here with a mission; I have one too. I've been dealing with your affairs lately, and I haven't taken Mi Qian out for a stroll yet..."
It has to be said that Fuzhou has benefited from favorable local policies, and the clothing styles and fashion sense here are very impressive.
"Mi Qian, take a look around. I don't have any other requests. Just appreciate these clothes and see if they can inspire you."
The clothing styles here are quite comprehensive, and most of them are in line with the current situation in Xia Country. You can take a look and perhaps incorporate some elements from the clothing styles in your Su City…”
Jiang Xixi was patiently instructing Lan Miqian when suddenly, she was bumped by someone, and the bump was quite forceful.
If it weren't for a pair of large hands supporting her from behind, she would have really fallen flat on her face.
"Thank you~" Jiang Xixi turned her head to express her gratitude, but was stunned for a moment after seeing the other person's face.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't because he was good-looking. Although he was indeed very handsome, the gentle and refined type, with very delicate features, how could Jiang Xixi, who had seen so many handsome men in her previous life, be so lacking in self-control?
The reason she was so surprised was that this person was none other than the ruthless mayor of Rongcheng whom she had met in her previous life.
Although he's now a younger, more immature version, she would never mistake the ambition in his eyes and the smile on his lips...
