"What's wrong with this packaging? It's packed tightly, how nice!"

Director Lin picked up the wine and looked at it from left to right. He was very confused. It was so simple and cheap. It would cost money to hire someone to design it, and it would also cost a lot to make custom-made porcelain. He didn't sell a single bottle of this wine, and he still had to spend a lot of money.

"What's the point of you thinking it's good? It has to be good for foreigners. Go and look at those wineries that sell well. Aren't their packaging very beautiful?"

Ruan Qiqi patiently guided Director Lin, and it was not his fault that his thinking was out of date. People nowadays believed that simplicity was beautiful, and no one appreciated anything fancy.

"It's all fancy and not plain at all."

Director Lin spoke with disdain. This was something he couldn't understand. How come those weird liquors were selling so well?

"Uncle Lin, you are going to sell this wine to foreigners, so they have to think it looks good. Foreigners like fancy things, and loving beauty is human nature. Uncle Lin, you are the same."

Ruan Qiqi rolled her eyes, her patience exhausted, and she started to speak rudely.

"Nonsense, when did I start liking fancy things?"

Director Lin flatly denied it, saying that he always believed simplicity was beauty.

Just then, Aunt Lin came in with a bowl of pork cooked with garlic sprouts. Although she was in her forties and dressed very simply, she still had fair skin and a pretty face. One can imagine how beautiful she was when she was young.

Ruan Qiqi snorted softly, men really do say one thing and mean another.

"Uncle Lin, since you like simplicity, why don't you marry an ordinary, simple woman? Why did you marry Aunt Lin, who is so beautiful? It shows that you also like beautiful things."

Ruan Qiqi refuted Aunt Lin, who blushed, glared at Director Lin, and went out to cook.

"That's different. Your Aunt Lin and I have a foundation of affection. I like her good character and kind heart..."

Director Lin's voice became lower and lower, and by the end he felt guilty.

He looked at several girls at the time, and his wife was the most beautiful. He fell in love with her at first sight. So, Ruan Qiqi was right. People like beautiful things.

Director Lin suddenly understood.

But he still hesitated, because——

"It costs money to hire someone to design it, and it costs a lot to make custom porcelain bottles. The factory just bought some equipment, so we are short of money!"

Director Lin was frowning again. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. What should he do if he has no money?

"No funding from above?"

Ruan Qiqi asked.

“We’re all short of money!”

Director Lin sighed. The country was in trouble right now, so he didn't have the nerve to ask the country for help.

Ruan Qiqi thought about it and asked how much money was missing.

"It would cost at least ten thousand yuan to have someone design and make a custom porcelain vase."

Director Lin made a rough calculation and found that it would cost at least 10,000 yuan. The money in the factory account was needed to pay the wages. Where would he get this 10,000 yuan?

Ruan Qiqi rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, I will give you 10,000 yuan, and you can help me find a sister-in-law to work, okay?"

Director Lin's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of the ten thousand yuan given by his old leader.

A while ago, he went to the farm to visit Lu Desheng. They drank together. Lu Desheng drank too much and talked a lot to him. He regretted marrying Lin Manyun, mistreating Lu Ye, and wasting the liberation and aid to Korea. The old leader also mentioned the ten thousand yuan.

"Qiqi, you have 10,000 yuan? I don't feel comfortable spending your money. How about I write you an IOU and pay you back as soon as the wine is sold!"

Director Lin said he was sorry, but his money-grubbing smile and golden eyes showed that he did not feel embarrassed at all.

"Uncle Lin, let's not talk about money when we are friends. It will hurt our uncle-nephew relationship. Can you please tell me first?"

Ruan Qiqi rolled her eyes silently. How could she, such a stingy person, take money out of her pocket?

Friendship is friendship, money is money, they are two different things!

The smile on Director Lin's face faded instantly, and he said listlessly: "If you can really help me get 10,000 yuan, let alone arrange for one person, even three people will be no problem."

"Uncle Lin, you must keep your word. Auntie, please bear witness for me, otherwise Uncle Lin will deny his debts!"

Ruan Qiqi immediately responded. It was fine to have three vacancies. She would give a job to whoever she liked when the time came.

Aunt Lin just came in with some dishes. Upon hearing this, she said with a smile, "Okay, I'll testify. I guarantee he won't dare to deny his debt!"

"A real man should keep his word. Qiqi, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what to do!"

Director Lin became excited again. This girl is very clever and her ideas are always right. Maybe she really has a solution.

Ruan Qiqi took out a pen and paper from her bag and wrote a few names in a flamboyant manner. Each name had a suffix behind it:

Huang Moumou, the shoe box under the bed.

Liu XX, the biscuit box at the bottom of the cousin’s dowry box.

Mr. Li, vase on the chest of drawers.

Xu Moumou, the third drawer of the chest of drawers.

…

There are six names in total, all of whom are the winery's buyers, deputy factory director, purchasing director, and canteen director, including those who have been in office and those who are currently in office.

Director Lin looked at the note, frowning, not understanding it.

"Go into the house quietly and look for it where I said. There's a surprise!"

Ruan Qiqi knew that his brain power was limited, so she kindly explained.

During the time she went to collect the debt, she also checked the winery and found a lot of corrupt officials. The total amount of money they embezzled was definitely more than 10,000 yuan.

Director Lin understood and immediately became furious. He raised his hand to bang the table, but was stopped by Ruan Qiqi.

"Slap your thigh, I still need to eat!"

The dishes cooked by Aunt Lin were all delicious and could rival those cooked by Shi Xiaojun's mother. But after Shi Jinghong died, the half-crazy and half-stupid Shi Xiaojun was assigned by the farm to dig lotus roots and drowned.

After losing her husband and son in succession, Shi Xiaojun's mother couldn't bear it anymore and went crazy. It looked like she wouldn't live for many days.

Ruan Qiqi ate a feast at Lin's house. She ate three big bowls of rice and a lot of dishes. She went to Ruan Shuangjiang with a burp.

The mother and her two daughters had already finished dinner. Ruan Shuangjiang was washing clothes at the door, and the two little girls were watching TV.

The TV is an 11-inch black and white TV, given by Ruan Qiqi. There are no more than three families in the whole factory who have a TV. This is also one of the reasons why He Fenghua is jealous of Ruan Shuangjiang.

"Has Qiqi eaten yet?"

Ruan Shuangjiang stood up with a smile and wiped her hands on her apron.

"I've eaten. I came to take a look. I won't go into the house!"

Ruan Qiqi stood at the door and talked to her, just chatting about some family matters. Ruan Shuangjiang was now standing up, and the Ruan Nian sisters were also very strong. Ruan Xiaoxue and Song Junjie had both passed the physical examination and would be joining the army at the end of the month.

Lu Ye used some connections and the couple were assigned to the Southwest Military Region so that they could take care of each other.

She has fulfilled all three conditions she promised her original body. From now on, she will let herself go and live a happy and free life!

"Don't worry about Xiaoxue going to the southwest. Lu Ye asked his comrades to take care of her. As long as Xiaoxue performs well, she will be promoted."

"You don't need to take special care of her. Don't let people gossip about your brother-in-law. It's good enough that Xiaoxue can join the army."

Ruan Shuangjiang's eyes were complicated, as if she was looking at another person through Ruan Qiqi.

"It's okay. I will definitely take care of you if I can. Call me if you have any problems next time. You guys were really good just now. Keep it up!"

Ruan Qiqi praised her and her two children.

Ruan Shuangjiang smiled and said meaningfully: "I was useless before, and I made you and Xiaoxue suffer a lot. In the future, I will definitely stand up and not be bullied anymore. Your studies are important, don't worry about me!"

"Well, I'll come when I'm free. It's cold so boil some water to wash clothes. Don't put yourself in a difficult position!"

Ruan Qiqi gave some instructions and rode away on her bike.

Ruan Shuangjiang looked at her back, her eyes gradually reddened, and she murmured, "Xiao Qi, elder sister will do her best, you can rest assured and reincarnate to live a good life!"
