"The Bai family lives next door!"
Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but frown. The Bai family relied on marrying off their daughters to escape poverty, so they probably didn't have the financial resources. Therefore, the Bai family was equivalent to Chairman Lin!
Trouble is brewing!
Zhou Hongyu felt a headache coming on when she thought about this outcome.
The sudden appearance of the Bai family next door inexplicably irritated Chen Zhaodi; she felt her troubles were about to begin!
However, she and Aunt Bai used to have a so-so relationship. She was always the number one in the workshop, and Aunt Bai could only follow behind her and be the eternal second place. The bonus for the number one was a few yuan less than that for the number two.
The Bai family was in dire straits, and Aunt Bai even tried to persuade Chen Zhaodi to give up first place by playing the victim.
Chen Zhaodi disagreed; she was greedy and it would be harder than climbing to heaven to take money from her.
After being rejected, Aunt Bai didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that Chen Zhaodi would report her and she would lose her job.
Even if the two meet again, nothing should happen. She and Aunt Bai have no enmity, Chen Zhaodi thought.

Next door, Ge Hong fawned over the Bai family with a smug look on her face.
Aunt Bai was extremely pleased as she drank the tea that Ge Hong had handed her.
In the past, her family was poor and people looked down on her, but now, Ge Hong has to obediently bow her head and please her just for a job!
When Bai Panpan arrived at the store, she frowned upon seeing a stranger there.
We're here to discuss serious business, why is there an outsider here?
Ge Hong greeted her familiarly, "Xiao Pan, I'm Sister Ge, your mother's former coworker. Have you forgotten me? I used to be there to help out when you covered for your mother at the factory!"
Bai Panpan sneered, "Guidance? Isn't this just using an excuse to cause trouble!"
Bai Panpan recalled how she hated her mother's coworkers back then, each one more vicious than the last. The only one she liked was Sister Chen, but her mother didn't like Sister Chen and thought she was cold-blooded.
Bai Panpan dredged up the memory of Ge Hong from the corner of her mind, and waved her hand: "What are you doing here? There's no need for you here..."
Aunt Bai intervened, saying, "Xiao Pan, how can you talk to your elders like that! This is your Sister Ge! Apologize right now!"
Bai Panpan angrily called out, "Mom!"
Aunt Bai raised her hand and slapped me a few times: "Don't try that on me! You think you're so great just because you married into a rich family! That's bullshit to me! If you still consider me your mother, you'd better apologize right now!"
Ge Hong could see through the lawsuit between the mother and daughter at a glance; their relationship wasn't good.
Then she'll have a chance to get involved!
Bai Panpan, being a dutiful daughter, suppressed her anger and coldly apologized to Ge Hong.
Ge Hong smiled tolerantly, as if she didn't take Bai Panpan's rudeness to heart.
Seeing this, Aunt Bai felt even more embarrassed. Sure enough, he had grown up and was no longer obedient. He didn't even give her face in front of her former colleagues!
Aunt Bai's resentment towards Bai Panpan grew stronger, and eventually, it would erupt.
Bai Panpan was about to start her business, but before that, she insisted that only family members could be present and that outsiders had to leave!
Having learned from her first experience, Ge Hong immediately looked at Aunt Bai. Sure enough, Aunt Bai was someone who cared a lot about her reputation, and upon receiving Ge Hong's look, she immediately made a decision.
"There are no outsiders here! If you look down on us, then don't say anything!"
Bai Panpan sighed, admitting defeat!
"Haiyang plans to turn this place into a teahouse. If the older sisters want to work, they can arrange it here, but they'll lose their monthly living expenses..."
Before Bai Panpan could finish speaking, the Bai family members all showed unhappy expressions.
Since Bai Panpan married into the wealthy village, the whole family has risen to prominence, receiving a monthly allowance and no one is working anymore.
Having grown accustomed to a life of ease, getting them to support themselves through labor is harder than climbing to heaven.
Ge Hong stood at the edge of the crowd, speechless with shock as she listened to Bai Panpan's words.
Their fellow workers initially thought Chairman Lin's family was already wealthy enough, but they had underestimated them.
Since Chairman Lin is rich and a womanizer, how can such benefits be left to the Bai family? They should rely on their own abilities!
Ge Hong immediately had an idea.
The Bai family members, dissatisfied with the arrangements made by Bai Panpan and her husband, started throwing a tantrum.

"Hey! Deputy Director Zhou, it's been a long time!"
No one has used that title for a long time, so it's easy to guess who the person is!
Zhou Hongyu felt nauseous upon hearing the sound; the virus had arrived!
Chen Zhaodi lowered her head and chuckled to herself, then quickly hid to the side to watch the show.
Zhou Hongyu, oh Zhou Hongyu, while your second son is out there supporting the family, she's at home having an affair with another man!
Chen Zhaodi was certain that Zhou Hongyu and the man surnamed Lin had been exchanging flirtatious glances, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten involved.
If Zhou Hongyu could hear Chen Zhaodi's inner thoughts, she could turn around and slap her a few times—she'd be asking for it!
Zhou Hongyu disliked Chairman Lin and gave Wang Qiang, who was not far away, a look. Wang Qiang understood and immediately came over to take his place.
Chairman Lin smiled and threw out the bait: "You should have told me earlier that you liked money! You transferred from the factory to the cultural center, and you even opened your own shop!"
Zhou Hongyu wanted to deny it, but before she could open her mouth, he stopped her.
"No! The same tactics you use to fool others won't work on me!"
Chairman Lin pointed and said, "I know this store very well. Chen Zhaodi bought it, right? So, you still want to tell me that you two are just working for the big boss behind the scenes!"
Wang Qiang quietly withdrew his foot; he hadn't heard anything!
Zhou Hongyu's lips curled into a dangerous smile: "Do you want to die?"
Threaten me! Go to hell!
Chairman Lin's shadow returned, and he took a slight step back, about half a fist's width.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to make money with you, at the garment factory..."
"Haiyang—"
Chairman Lin frowned instantly, not even bothering to turn his head.
Zhou Hongyu and the others looked over, and Chen Zhaodi, startled, immediately cried out.
"Bai Panpan, you—"
It's been completely transformed!
In Chen Zhaodi's memory, Bai Panpan was a shy and pretty female student with a bare face, ill-fitting clothes, tattered cloth shoes that revealed her toes, and calloused hands.
Bai Panpan would always help Aunt Bai with her work while carefully greeting her coworkers in the workshop.
The woman walking towards us now, wearing a white long dress, a ribbon around her neck, and with her hair styled in an exquisite way, is also Bai Panpan?
Chen Zhaodi didn't even recognize the person.
Bai Panpan rushed over anxiously, grabbed Chairman Lin's arm, and loudly announced, "Sister Zhou, this is my husband!"
Sister Zhou... what about Sister Chen?
Chen Zhaodi stood to the side, looking completely bewildered as to why Bai Panpan had simply ignored her!
Zhou Hongyu smiled and said, "So you two are husband and wife. We still have business to do. If there's nothing else, then goodbye!"
Chairman Lin tightened his grip, and Bai Panpan immediately sensed his anger, but she still mustered the courage not to let go.
Bai Panpan knew that Chairman Lin was a womanizer who would not refuse anyone, especially Zhou Hongyu, a woman he had always been unable to have, and was filled with a desire to conquer her.
Other wildflowers can be picked, but Zhou Hongyu must be guarded against with utmost care!
