Chapter 148: Setting a Trap
Ruan Yuntang also put the perfume back into the kitchen cabinet.
Then she opened the door and was about to take a step forward when she accidentally met Wang Ying's gaze from a distance.
"I heard that your group has already prepared the perfume. Congratulations." Wang Ying walked over from the production line and said with a smile.
Ruan Yuntang's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "It's really rare to hear Director Wang's congratulations."
Wang Ying's expression changed, but he still smiled and said:
"I was careless with my words earlier. I'm sorry. Comrade Ruan, please don't hold it against me. Julia is coming back soon, and I don't want her to see that things aren't going well at our factory."
What she said was reasonable.
He was showing kindness to himself because he saw that Julia was about to come back.
"Director Wang, you've worked really hard." Ruan Yuntang chuckled and patted her shoulder. "Acting must be tiring."
Wang Ying's smiling face froze.
Ruan Yuntang walked straight past her, pretending to go to the bathroom, and stopped at the corner.
Wang Ying stayed at the door of the perfume room for a while, then looked around, pushed the door open quietly, looked inside for a few times, closed the door and left.
Ruan Yuntang's eyes flashed, and he stayed there for a while before returning to the perfumery room when a worker passed by.
After a while, Chen Xiangxiang came back.
“Done!”
Ruan Yuntang nodded, and then the two of them began to mix the perfume.
It was almost noon when Meng Haosi came running over.
"I heard that not only are you done with the perfume, but you're also going to make a second bottle?"
Ruan Yuntang looked up, met Meng Haosi's slightly unhappy face, and nodded.
"Yeah, aren't you happy as a member of our team?"
Meng Haosi choked, pulled his hair, and stammered:
"No... no, our team's perfume development was successful, so of course I'm happy."
"So what's the meaning of that expression? You run to the next group every day. Have you forgotten that you're in the same group as us?"
The aroma of agarwood rushed out.
"I haven't forgotten!" Meng Haosi said angrily, stiffening his neck.
"I didn't tell them about our group. I just thought you went to Su Ye this morning to show off that our group had already started making the second bottle. That was too much!"
Chen Xiangxiang rolled her eyes. "How am I showing off? Can't I just communicate with them reasonably about our progress?"
"Is that a legitimate communication? You know the team next door hasn't even finished a single bottle yet, yet you keep saying you've already finished the second, upgraded version. Isn't that just putting pressure on them?"
Meng Hao thought of how Su Ye was so anxious that she was about to cry, and he felt heartbroken.
"Without pressure, where would motivation come from?" Chen Xiangxiang snorted coldly, "They can't even handle this little bit of pressure. It just shows they're too fragile!"
"you--"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ruan Yuntang pressed his solar plexus with a headache.
She just let Chen Xiangxiang accidentally reveal that the perfume they were entering into the competition was an upgraded version they had made, but she didn't expect Chen Xiangxiang to show off so openly.
Isn't this going to cause hatred?
"Okay, stop arguing." Ruan Yuntang interrupted the two and looked at Meng Haosi again.
"So, what are you asking for now? You want us to apologize?"
Meng Haosi's throat choked. Wouldn't it be even more humiliating to the group next door if they were to apologize for this?
He looked at Ruan Yuntang with a look of hesitation, "Anything is fine?"
Ruan Yuntang's eyes were slightly cold, the corners of his lips curved, and his voice was soft, "You tell me first."
"Tangtang!" Chen Xiangxiang pulled her hurriedly.
Ruan Yuntang patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Meng Haosi hesitated for a moment before slowly saying:
"Although we are competitors now, we are actually from the same factory and we are all colleagues."
"I heard that the reason they're making so slow progress is because the filtration isn't thorough enough...the machines are outdated."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ruan Yuntang, and seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he continued to test her:
"How about we lend them the machine?"
The smile on Ruan Yuntang's face disappeared, and he looked up at him, "Are you asking for my opinion now, or have you already acted first and asked for my opinion later?"
"How is that possible!" Meng Haosi frowned and slammed the table in excitement. "Who do you think I am?"
Ruan Yuntang looked at his excited mood and said calmly:
"In that case, I'll tell you that the machine cannot be borrowed until the selection is completed."
Meng Haosi's body stiffened, his eyes filled with disappointment, and he made a final struggle, "Can I just borrow one?"
"No." Ruan Yuntang refused and reminded, "Don't forget our agreement."
Meng Haosi's eyes dimmed completely and he stood up and left.
"I know, I won't forget it!"
Chen Xiangxiang looked at the door being slammed shut and curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
"He says he won't forget it, but who knows if he's already used it on the other side!"
"I think you should just confiscate all his stuff."
Ruan Yuntang shook his head.
The machines and tools were useless if confiscated, as the processes and mechanisms of making those machines were already deeply engraved in the minds of the mechanics.
As long as Meng Haosi is willing to fight for Su Ye, pay the penalty for breach of contract, and provide them with new machines, she and Shen Xiangxiang will not be able to stop him.
But it seems that Meng Haosi has not given it to the neighbor yet.
The two continued to make perfume until the end of the afternoon when Ruan Yuntang looked at his watch and called Chen Xiangxiang to leave.
I pushed open the door and saw a small black box on the ground outside.
Ruan Yuntang glanced at it doubtfully, picked up the box and handed it to Chen Xiangxiang.
Chen Xiangxiang opened the box and took a look, then blinked in surprise.
"This person is quite romantic this time, but he's a bit stingy. If he gave me a whole bouquet of flowers, I might even begrudgingly take it back!"
"This one is so cumbersome that I can't even hold it!"
Ruan Yuntang glanced at the roses in the box and said:
"Don't you know that giving a rose means wholehearted love?"
"I'm confessing my love to you!"
"Go away!" Chen Xiangxiang glared at her unhappily, blushing as she casually threw the flowers onto the table in the perfume room.
Chen Xiangxiang is single and beautiful. She keeps receiving flowers and love letters from people she doesn't know about, and she has become accustomed to it.
Neither of them cared too much and went out together to look for Hu Xiaoling.
Hu Xiaoling was setting up a stall outside the factory. The workers were just getting off work and business was booming.
Chen Xiangxiang and Ruan Yuntang helped her pack the food while looking towards the factory entrance.
After a while, most of the factory workers rushed out, and it took a long time before two people came out.
Ruan Yuntang and Shen Xiangxiang looked at each other and walked up to say hello.
"Off work?"
The two looked at each other's pretty faces, blushing slightly, and nodded hesitantly, "Yes."
"Is there anyone else in the factory? I seem to have forgotten something." Ruan Yuntang asked with a smile.
"Yes, Director Wang is still behind." One of them replied.
