Liu Meiwan didn't expect that everything she said was heard by Chi Kunli.

Xiang Baiwei smiled awkwardly, turned around and was about to explain, when she found Chi Kunli climbing over the wall.

She was worried that Chi Kunli would fall, so she quickly walked over and helped her down.

Liu Mei was terrified. She looked at Chi Kunli who was walking towards her, and her voice couldn't stop trembling: "What do you want to do?"

"What are you afraid of? You dare to say bad things about me behind my back, but you don't dare to face me?" Chi Kunli crossed her arms and looked down at Liu Mei.

Liu Mei originally wanted to pull Xiang Baiwei over to smooth things over for her, but Xiang Baiwei was still standing at the foot of the wall, pretending to tidy up the stool and didn't come over here.

She knew that Xiang Baiwei would definitely not help her, so she took two steps back in panic. Then she felt embarrassed and said unwillingly, "I'm not afraid of you."

"If you're not afraid of me, then why are you hiding?" Chi Kunli waved at her provocatively, "Come, come closer, and talk to me."

Liu Mei swallowed nervously and took two steps back again.

Chi Kunli did not hide her laughter at all.

Liu Mei, who had lost all face, didn't want to stay any longer, and said goodbye to Xiang Baiwei in a hurried tone: "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you later."

"Don't come. I'm at home every day. If I hear you saying bad things about me behind my back again, be careful or I'll beat you with a stick." Chi Kunli chased out. She was not afraid of being heard and shouted at Liu Mei.

After the threat, Chi Kunli went back into the yard, cursing: "She's so annoying. I didn't offend her at all, but she came to you and said bad things about me. It would be a shame if I didn't beat her up."

"Why are you paying attention to her?" Xiang Baiwei came over and patted Chi Kunli on the back, "Okay, okay, calm down. Don't bother with her."

Chi Kunli took out an apple from the basket beside her and asked Xiang Baiwei while eating it: "What does Liu Mei want to do? I heard that she wants to take away the job in my hand?"

"That's about it. I guess she was jealous of the good business in my workshop, but she didn't want to be a female worker. After much deliberation, she chose your job and came here to trick me. She wants to take it away." Xiang Baiwei found two chairs, and she and Chi Kunli each took one, and sat in the yard, admiring the clear autumn sky.

Chi Kunli chewed an apple and looked at Xiang Baiwei uneasily: "Liu Mei is more educated than me, you wouldn't..."

"Impossible." Xiang Baiwei knew what her friend was worried about. "Liu Mei has a vicious mind. I will not cooperate with such a person, let alone keep her by my side. It's enough for me to be stupid once."

Hearing this, Chi Kunli patted her chest in relief and said, "That's good. I was afraid that you would be fooled by her and give her the job."

"No, people can't be stupid twice in the same place."

…

After Liu Mei left Xiang Baiwei's house, she tried her best to remain calm. It was not until she arrived at the empty office that she took off the mask of disguise and revealed her true expression.

Xiang Baiwei and Chi Kunli were originally people she looked down upon.

And now, these two people have severely humiliated her, which makes her very uncomfortable.

Liu Mei couldn't bear it anymore and smashed the ceramic cup in her hand.

After smashing it, Liu Mei's anger subsided a little, and she took the dustpan and broom to clean up the debris.

After the cleanup, everyone regained their composure.

Xiang Baiwei's workshop is very good, and she is determined to get it.

She didn't believe that with such high knowledge, she couldn't handle a mere Xiang Baiwei?

She's just a country girl who has never seen the world.

Liu Mei sat back in her seat and took out a pen and paper to organize her thoughts.

"Xiang Baiwei's workshop is doing better and better, and it will definitely expand into a factory," Liu Mei wrote and drew on the paper thoughtfully, listing the conditions required to run a factory one by one. As she drew, Liu Mei's eyes lit up, "The machinery needed by a large factory is definitely different from that needed by a small workshop."

Liu Mei looked up at the map hanging on the wall on the right.

There aren't any great machinery factories in the province. If you want to get some large machinery for use in a factory... you have to go outside the province, or maybe even look for it in a coastal city.

Liu Mei gently held the pencil: "This matter...Aunt Jenny should be able to help me."

Liu Mei did it right away. She put what she had just written and drawn into the iron basin next to her, fetched a match, burned the two pieces of paper, and then left.

It was just after noon and there was another bus to the county town. If she went to the county town now, she would quickly call Aunt Jenny and then catch the last bus passing through the village. Everything would be just right and she would be in time.

Just as Liu Mei had arranged, her trip to the county town went very smoothly.

The call to Aunt Jenny went smoothly, except that Aunt Jenny on the phone was unhappy about having her sweet dream disturbed.

Also, because Aunt Jenny was anxious to go back to bed and continue sleeping, she agreed to Liu Mei's request to help her purchase large machinery, and said that she would return to the country again in half a month and help her then.

Liu Mei was so happy to get Aunt Jenny's promise that she almost flew up with joy on the way to the station.

After returning, Liu Mei just got off the car and ran into Xiang Baiwei who was coming back from picking vegetables in the fields.

The two of them bumped into each other face to face, and neither could continue to ignore the other.

Xiang Baiwei suppressed her embarrassment and greeted Liu Mei politely: "So, are you going to the county town?"

"I went to the county town to do some work." Liu Mei's eyes were filled with pride. "It went very smoothly. It's the only good news today."

Xiang Baiwei was not interested in whether Liu Meishun was going well or not: "Okay, that's great. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."

Liu Mei stopped Xiang Baiwei who was about to run away: "Actually, I came to you today because I really wanted to help you. It's a pity that you didn't appreciate it. It's really a pity."

"Haha," Xiang Baiwei laughed dryly, "What you asked me to do is really difficult for me. After all, the job has already been done by someone else, and I can't just take it away and give it to you."

"It doesn't matter. I will continue to wait. I hope that the day when you change your mind will come soon." Liu Mei gave her a determined smile.

This smile frightened Xiang Baiwei so much that her hair stood on end. Even when she got home, she still looked a little strange.

Wang Chunhua came over from her hometown carrying food and called the dazed Xiang Baiwei over: "You've come back to life. What's wrong? Are you absent-minded?"

"Nothing," Xiang Baiwei shook her head, "Liu Mei wanted me to give her the accounting job in the workshop, but I didn't agree. Then she said something strange, and I was wondering what she meant by that."
