Chapter 167: A Battle of Wisdom and Courage with the Sickly Male Second
He rarely came to see Jiang Yubai during this period.
It's not because of anything else, but because he is busy pursuing his wife during this period.
Unfortunately, Dr. Qiao always ignored him. She would only say a few words in reply when she mentioned Jiang Yubai unintentionally.
After so many times, Shen Lieyang was no fool, and he quickly realized that Dr. Qiao paid some special attention to his team leader.
Who can stand the fact that the person you like falls in love with the person you admire?
Jiang Yubai noticed his unnatural look, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't be embarrassed, just grab the opportunity when it comes."
Shen Lieyang felt sour in his heart for a moment, and it was even more unpleasant.
The team leader knew nothing and was even comforting him. Was he being worthy of the team leader?
He immediately perked up, raised his hand and saluted solemnly.
"Yes, I will definitely train hard!"
Jiang Yubai nodded and passed by.
That night, Ruan Yuntang heard Jiang Yubai tell her not to contact Political Commissar Chen's family in the future.
She then realized that those things were sent by Qiao Cui on purpose to sow discord between Chen Gang and them.
Ruan Yuntang looked at the money that Jiang Yubai handed over and quickly refused it.
"Don't give me any more, the family's living expenses are enough."
Jiang Yubai looked at her face full of resistance, his heart sank, and he added:
"Compensation from the deputy political commissar."
Hearing this, Ruan Yuntang took the money bill, but she only took half.
"Keep the other half and buy what you want or eat." She said with a smile.
Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, and the discomfort in his heart disappeared instantly. The corners of his lips curved up, "Okay."
Ruan Yuntang played with the dog for a while and then returned to the bedroom.
These days she has been mixing Jiang Li's fragrance in the perfume room, and all the ones Zhou Guanyan wanted were left in her space to be mixed.
After all, there are higher-end items in the space, which makes it easier for her to add other things.
She deliberately didn't say everything last time to pave the way for this.
A week later, she went to Zhou Guanyan's office with the newly prepared perfume.
Zhou Guanyan looked at the two bottles of perfume on the table, opened the bottle caps, smelled them, and his eyes moved slightly.
Ruan Yuntang saw that his eyebrows relaxed, and knew that he was satisfied, and said with a smile:
"Comrade Zhou has inspected it. My perfume and the remaining reward..."
Zhou Guanyan interrupted with a smile, "Comrade Ruan is a little impatient."
The smile on Ruan Yuntang's face disappeared.
After a moment, Zhou Guanyan sprayed some perfume on his wrist and said slowly:
"Comrade Ruan, please be patient. I have to control the quality of the perfume."
As he spoke, he slowly took out test strips and other things from the drawer...a series of things for testing perfume.
Ruan Yuntang couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up.
As expected, he has more thoughts than lotus roots.
The professionalism of this inspection is much higher than that of Master Liu.
An hour passed after a series of checks were completed.
Ruan Yuntang sat on the sofa in the office, reading a newspaper boredly. From time to time, he glanced at the snacks and tea on the table, swallowed his saliva, but resisted the urge to touch them.
Zhou Guanyan took in her cautious look, a hint of interest flashed across his eyes, and he glanced at the perfume in his hand, the corners of his lips raised.
"Comrade Ruan, I've finished the inspection."
Ruan Yuntang seemed to be liberated and jumped up. "How is it?"
Zhou Guanyan looked at her eagerness to leave, his eyes darkened.
"Yes, the woody fragrance made by Comrade Ruan meets my requirements for the top, middle and bottom notes."
Ruan Yuntang raised the corner of his lips and extended his hand, "Then please fulfil your promise, Comrade Zhou."
Zhou Guanyan glanced at her, took out a bottle of perfume from the drawer and handed it to her, then took out a thick stack of banknotes.
Ruan Yuntang's eyes lit up, and he took the perfume, but when he took the money, half of it was taken away.
Zhou Guanyan smiled gently, "I haven't finished testing the perfume's durability yet, so I can't give you the full amount for now."
“…”
He has so many tricks up his sleeve!
Ruan Yuntang was lucky that he did not tamper with the raw materials of the perfume, otherwise it would have been a disaster.
"Okay, after all, this is our first cooperation. It's normal for Comrade Zhou not to trust me." She withdrew her hand and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Zhou Guanyan observed her expression and saw that she really didn't care. He couldn't help but wonder if he was being too suspicious.
"Comrade Ruan, you have worked hard to prepare the perfume this time. I will invite you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant after get off work." He invited with a smile.
"No need." Ruan Yuntang refused without hesitation, "This is what I should do."
Zhou Guanyan's eyes deepened, a smile played on the corner of his lips, and he did not try to persuade her anymore.
Ruan Yuntang took her perfume and quickly left the office.
Liu Chuxiang happened to come out of the office opposite and the two ran into each other head-on.
Liu Chuxiang snorted coldly and started to walk away, but after taking two steps, her nose twitched slightly and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
He suddenly stopped and turned around, following the fragrance, but his eyes fell on Ruan Yuntang and he frowned.
Ruan Yuntang was uncorking the bottle of perfume to check if it had been tampered with when he noticed someone's gaze and raised his eyes.
"Master Liu, is there something wrong?"
Liu Chuxiang stared at the perfume bottle in her hand, her lips moved, but then closed again, and said lightly:
"Nothing!"
He guessed that this perfume could not have been made by Ruan Yuntang, and asking her would only make him lose face.
Julia just said a lot to him specifically for this girl.
He was praising the girl implicitly and implicitly, asking him to be more moderate in his temper.
He was already holding a grudge, and later told Julia directly that it was impossible to fire this girl, and he couldn't fire her because Ruan Yuntang was also a partner in the factory. He understood with a sneer.
He also knew something about Ruan Yuntang's background.
A capitalist daughter who was almost liquidated married a soldier to avoid liquidation.
Yet he still has spare money to invest in a factory now. This must be because he didn’t hand over all the family property back then and kept it for himself!
These hateful and cunning capitalists!
He turned his eyes away from her with hidden anger, looked at the office behind her, and understood what was going on.
This perfume should be related to Deputy Director Zhou. He can just ask him when he has time.
So he flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and strode away.
Ruan Yuntang watched him leave angrily in silence, and without thinking much, he quickly took the perfume back to the perfumery room.
This time the production line is mainly aimed at mid-range users, and her perfume can be put on the market as a trial, but the cost needs to be slightly reduced.
After discussing with Chen Xiangxiang, the two of them worked on it until they got off work.
Just as she was about to leave, Julia suddenly waved and said:
"Tangtang, Deputy Director Zhou will treat the research and development team to a meal later."
Ruan Yuntang was stunned and looked at Zhou Guanyan, who was standing behind Julia with a gentle smile on his face, and frowned.
"I won't go. My husband is home alone and I'm worried." Ruan Yuntang asked with a worried look on his face.
Julia was dissatisfied:
"He's a big man over 5'8", not a child anymore. Why are you so worried? This is our first team dinner together, and you're just abandoning your comrades for a man!"
