Chapter 168: New Production Line Battle
As expected, work and social activities were inevitable in that era.
In order to fit in and not spoil the fun, Ruan Yuntang went with everyone.
The group consisted of theirs and Su Ye's group, plus a few management members, Master Liu and others.
The girls rode in Chenxiang's car, while the rest of the people rode in Zhou Guanyan and Meng Haosi's car.
She sat in the passenger seat, while Julia and Su Ye sat in the back seat.
Along the way, the two lively people kept talking, and Ruan Yuntang responded from time to time. In comparison, Su Ye was much quieter.
Julia saw that she was quiet and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask:
"Xiao Ye, how are things going with Master Liu lately? He has a bad temper and his words might be unpleasant, so don't take it to heart."
"Very good." Su Ye pinched the hem of her skirt, raised her eyes and glanced at the front row inconspicuously, and said:
"Actually, the master is quite nice. He is always critical of the matter, not the person. He sticks to the facts."
After these words were spoken, the car suddenly became quiet.
Julia thought this girl had a good personality and could actually tolerate Liu Chuxiang's temper, but her words were a bit...
Chen Xiangxiang exploded like a firecracker.
"What do you mean by that? You mean that Tangtang and I deserve what he said to us, and that we should reflect on ourselves if we feel uncomfortable, right?"
"You are really the one who is being yin and yang. You are talking while standing and you don't feel any pain in your waist!"
When these words came out, Su Ye's face turned pale, and he looked at Ruan Yuntang, biting his lip tightly.
"No...that's not what I meant."
"That's not what you meant. What do you mean?" Chen Xiangxiang sneered, "Don't act like a green tea in front of me. I'm not stupid!"
"That's really not what I meant!" Su Ye grabbed Julia's clothes anxiously, and turned to look at Ruan Yuntang.
Seeing that she was so anxious that her eyes were about to turn red, Ruan Yuntang thought of Meng Haosi and said to Chen Xiangxiang:
"Stop talking and let's focus on driving. Look, that car you just mentioned has already passed us!"
Hearing the sound, Chen Xiangxiang glanced forward and saw the rear end of the Hongqi car shining brightly. It was indeed demonstrating in front. She frowned immediately and stepped on the accelerator.
The car speed increased suddenly, and everyone was busy grabbing the handrails. No one had the mind to talk about what had just happened.
Su Ye gripped the armrest of the car tightly, his fingers turned white, and his eyebrows drooped.
In just ten minutes, the car stopped in front of the state-owned hotel, even arriving together with the other two cars that had set off earlier.
Ruan Yuntang got out of the car from the right with a pale face. He had just taken two steps when two concerned voices rang out at the same time.
"What's going on?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Ruan Yuntang looked up in confusion and was stunned.
He Zhili and Zhou Guanyan also looked at each other, and then withdrew their eyes with unclear expressions.
Ruan Yuntang concealed his doubts and said to Zhou Guanyan distantly:
"I'm just carsick. No need to worry about the deputy director."
After saying that, she nodded and greeted He Zhili again, then turned around and quickly pulled back Chen Xiangxiang, who was about to chase the car in high spirits.
"What for? I want to compete with that bastard!" Chen Xiangxiang looked unwilling.
Ruan Yuntang: "You don't want to eat? Eating will give you the energy to fight. I've memorized the license plate number for you, don't worry!"
Chen Xiangxiang felt that what she said made sense and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, "Tangtang, it's great to have you!"
Ruan Yuntang smiled and led her quickly into the restaurant.
Zhou Guanyan booked a private room.
Nowadays, there are very few private rooms in hotels, and the few that do exist are single-door rooms used specifically for receptions.
Everyone could see that Zhou Guanyan had an unusual background, and they were all polite and courteous to him.
Especially Director Shu, he is really good at flattering people.
Zhou Guanyan smiled modestly and handled the situation with ease.
Liu Chuxiang sat next to Julia, glanced at her and snorted coldly, "Luxury!"
"Then don't eat it." Julia glared at him.
Liu Chuxiang immediately pushed the bowl aside and really didn't want to eat anymore.
Julia was speechless about his stubborn temper and started chatting with Ruan Yuntang next to her.
Liu Chuxiang had nothing else to do, so she talked to Su Ye about the shortcomings of today's perfume making.
Su Ye listened obediently, occasionally glancing at the people laughing and talking beside him. After Liu Chuxiang finished speaking, he suddenly asked:
"Master, do you know that another production line in the factory has been handed over to Comrade Ruan?"
Liu Chuxiang was shocked when she heard this, "Where did you hear that?"
"Comrade Ruan said it himself." Su Ye's eyes were full of doubt. "Don't you know?"
Liu Chuxiang's brows darkened instantly, and she turned her head and called out to Julia.
Julia was chatting happily. When she heard the voice, she turned her head perfunctorily. Seeing his expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Chuxiang: "Did you hand over the new production line in the factory to that girl?"
Julia understood and leaned close to him and whispered, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Liu Chuxiang snorted coldly and immediately slammed the table, "I don't agree with this!"
The box was suddenly quiet——
All the chatter suddenly stopped and everyone looked over.
Ruan Yuntang also raised his eyes and happened to meet Liu Chuxiang's eyes that were looking at garbage.
???
"I also have a part in the incense factory, and I strongly disagree with this!" Liu Chuxiang said coldly.
Julia frowned, but she felt that now was not a good time to argue about this matter, so she smiled at everyone and said:
"Everyone eat, leave us alone!"
When everyone heard the noise, they resumed their original conversation, but the excitement was gone.
Chen Xiangxiang frowned and said to the person beside her:
"Why is this old man so angry again? What is he disagreeing with?"
Ruan Yuntang thought of Liu Chuxiang's look just now. She intuitively felt that it was related to her, but she did not tell Chen Xiangxiang.
She was afraid that Chen Xiangxiang would overturn the table.
As it turned out, she was right.
After the meal, when the management gave their speech, Liu Chuxiang said a few polite words and then turned the conversation to Su Ye.
"My new apprentice is very tenacious, hardworking, and talented. After just over a week of instruction, she's already been able to apply what she's learned to other situations, and her creations are becoming increasingly refined."
Several management members, led by Director Shu, immediately praised the company.
"Yes, yes, you have a keen eye for talent and have chosen such an outstanding disciple."
"With your guidance, Xiaoye will become more and more outstanding, and our factory will prosper!"
"Yes, yes, let's toast to Master Liu!"
"We must also show respect to Comrade Su Ye!"
In an instant, Su Ye raised her cup with a red face and some embarrassment.
Seeing this, Meng Haosi hurried over to grab the cup and drink for her.
However, Su Ye turned around in time, dodged his hand, and drank the wine in the glass.
She choked and her face flushed red. She covered her mouth and coughed several times before looking at the stunned person beside her and said:
"I can drink without you."
"But you can't drink much! What if you get drunk and have a headache tomorrow?" Meng Haosi felt quite aggrieved.
Su Ye stared at the empty cup in his hand silently and said calmly:
"If I don't drink, my alcohol tolerance will never improve, and I will always have to rely on others."
Meng Haosi smiled and said, "Then you can just rely on me for the rest of your life. I'd be happy to do that."
