Gu Xiaojiao jumped forward in a few steps like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I've done something bad?"
"The last time Su Fugui's incident had nothing to do with me. He asked me to help him through the backdoor, but I didn't agree."
"Humph, even though I hate you, I hate him even more."
She refused to admit that she had been observing Su Man all this time.
Look at this Women's Technical School she set up. Wow, the name is quite impressive.
What they could teach were just some trivial skills, but it seemed to really help these women.
As she watched, she felt that Su Man didn't seem to be the kind of woman her brother described, a fickle woman who would not care about her dignity for the sake of wealth.
Of course, she wouldn't let Su Man know this.
Su Man frowned slightly and asked again.
"Besides you, who else in the capital would target me?"
Gu Xiaojiao said sarcastically without even thinking.
"Do you really think you're a dish? I'm more than capable of handling you on my own, why do you need someone else?"
Su Man got a satisfactory answer. It seemed that the person who plotted against Lin Ye was not from the capital.
"Okay, I understand."
She turned and walked away.
Gu Xiaojiao came to her senses belatedly and said, "No, you know what? You know what? Can you explain it clearly?"
After returning home, Su Man told Lin Ye about this.
Now, Lin Ye was a little confused.
"If it wasn't someone from the capital who did this, then who could it be?"
Although he is not someone who is easy to get along with, what is the purpose of those who go to such great lengths to plot against him?
Su Man's mind flashed with inspiration, and she seemed to have thought of something...
——————
It was a rare day off, so Su Man planned to go to the movies with Lin Ye to try to find the feeling of love.
Early in the morning, before the two of them even left the house, they were stopped by Lin Ziqiang.
It wasn't even June yet, and he was already sweating profusely.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please do me a favor."
"My canteen is going to be taken over in a couple of days, but the vegetable vendor at the market suddenly changed his mind and won't deliver vegetables to me. I'm planning to go to the countryside. You know a lot of people, could you help me find out where I can buy vegetables?"
"I want it in large quantities and fresh. If available, I want it long-term."
It’s no wonder he was in such a hurry. It was already agreed upon, and he didn’t even go to buy it anywhere else.
In the end, I told him that it couldn't be sold. Wouldn't this make him ruin everything on the first day he took over?
Su Man and Lin Ye agreed immediately and rode out on their motorcycles.
The two of them searched all the way, but they found that the vegetable markets in the city were full of small vendors, and there wasn't much grown by themselves.
The vegetables in slightly larger markets are all supplied to their own areas, and they cannot spare such a large quantity to supply other places.
Fortunately, I asked along the way and found out that there was a vegetable field on the outskirts of the city.
The two men rode over on a motorcycle. Coincidentally, the vegetable field was in the east of the city, right near the plot that Lin Ye had his eyes on.
We crossed a wasteland, passed a big river, and rode a motorcycle for more than ten miles before we reached the vegetable field.
The vegetable garden is indeed quite large, stretching as far as the eye can see.
These are all grown by some poor households living nearby, and some are kept for their own consumption.
I pick the extra ones and sell them in the city, which is also a way to support my family.
Su Man and Lin Ye found the nearby villagers and explained their purpose.
When the villagers heard that they were going to buy these vegetables, they were a little bit unbelieving.
In the past, when I tried to sell the vegetables I grew myself, not only could I not get a good price, but I was also chased away.
Now you can just send the food to the canteen and pay in cash first.
Seeing such a good deal, they naturally agreed to it.
Su Man immediately asked those who could read among them to write a contract and put their fingerprints on it.
From now on, all vegetables in the vegetable garden will be contracted to the canteen.
After pressing the fingerprints, Wu Dading seemed to have thought of something and slapped his head.
"Oh, Comrade Su, I forgot to tell you. From now on, our vegetable garden will be moved up the mountain."
"But don't worry, no matter how far away, the food will be delivered on time every day."
Su Man glanced at the place he pointed at from a distance. It was at least ten miles away from here.
"Why do you have to go to the mountains when you have such a good vegetable plot?"
Wu Dading sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"You must have passed by that river when you came here just now. There's a fertilizer factory upstream, and the sewage is directly poured into it."
"The water is so black, we wouldn't dare eat the vegetables grown with it!"
Lin Ye thought of something and asked.
"How long has that fertilizer factory been open? I heard they're going to be developed soon. Maybe they'll move out soon."
When the villagers mentioned this matter, they became furious and started talking to each other.
"The water and the land are all polluted. Even if we move away, it won't help."
"The grass used to be lush green and the trees were tall, but now there's not even a strand of foxtail grass to be seen."
"I tried it, I dug a meter deep, and the soil was all black and smelled terrible..."
They only had that one piece of land before, but now even their vegetable patch is almost polluted, so they have to move to a farther mountain.
Lin Ye was a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.
————————
I originally thought that the problem of food supply had been solved.
As a result, big trouble happened on the first morning that Lin Ziqiang took over the canteen.
None of the people who had made an appointment to come to work showed up.
Even the aunties who used to work in the cafeteria have quit.
No matter how capable he is, he cannot cook meals for hundreds of people in a steel plant by himself.
In a short period of time, Lin Ziqiang witnessed the wickedness of human nature.
I squatted at the door with my face covered, wanting to cry but unable to.
Su Man received his call and quickly got dressed and got up.
