"No, I just hope you'll change your mind. After all, I don't want to kill you."
Zheng Yuan can always say shameless things in a way that sounds incredibly affectionate. Anyone who didn't know better would think he and Jiang Wanqing had some unknown past. He's despicable and insidious!
As he spoke, he took another contract document from his desk and handed it over.
"You didn't sign last time, but this time you'd better think it over carefully."
"What's this?"
Molly knew she had done something stupid and was afraid of implicating Jiang Wanqing, so her first reaction was to take the bag and check it first. But Zheng Yuan didn't intend to let her see it and wouldn't let go, looking at her with a forced smile.
"If you also want to join my team, I can draft another contract for you. As for this one, you are not qualified to see it yet."
After his true colors were revealed, Zheng Yuan stopped hiding his true intentions. He spoke in a sarcastic and condescending manner, and also in an arrogant and condescending way.
"I don't need it! Wanqing doesn't need it either! Take your junk away!"
She regrets it now, just as much as she had hoped when she asked Zheng Yuan for help. If she could turn back time, she would never have set foot here!
“Are you really not needed? Then you won’t be able to set up a factory,” he said.
Jiang Wanqing's hand slowly tightened, and she gently curved her lips into a smile as she took the contract from his hand. He immediately resumed his gentlemanly smile.
"That's more like it, those who know when to yield..."
Sizzle...
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Wanqing suddenly tore the contract into tiny pieces, and with a flick of her wrist, the pieces scattered like snowflakes across Zheng Yuan's office.
His face changed color repeatedly, turning a dark bluish-black, and his temples throbbed.
Molly, surprised, clapped her hands in praise: "Well done!"
"You know what you're doing! If I get involved, forget about setting up a factory, your moisturizing cream won't even sell outside of Huada!"
He slammed his hand on the table, splashing tea everywhere, but Jiang Wanqing's eyes remained firm as she stared straight at him, showing no fear whatsoever.
"Then give it a try."
"Are you abandoning Hung Hing altogether?"
Seeing that he couldn't threaten her with the factory project, Zheng Yuan quickly changed his approach, but she remained unmoved.
"Hmph, so you're nothing special after all. I thought you were so high and mighty and kind!"
"Accepting threats will only make you, a scumbag, more arrogant. Don't even think about getting a single benefit from me. That's my answer to you!"
After she finished speaking, she took Molly's hand and left the factory manager's office.
"I'm sorry, Wanqing, it's all my fault, I..."
She stopped and, before Molly could finish apologizing, turned around and looked at her seriously.
"Stop with the nonsense, there are more important things for us to do."
"What?"
"You go in that direction, I'll go this way. Within ten minutes, we must find Hung Hing, explain the situation to him, and give him some time to prepare."
"But what about the contract Zheng Yuan has..."
“I’ll handle this. The most important thing right now is to prevent him from being deceived any further.”
That's true. Molly listened and did as she was told. She figured Zheng Yuan was probably in his office, angry and furious, but she didn't expect them to take such immediate action.
Without hesitation, they took immediate action, not daring to waste a single moment.
Jiang Wanqing was quite familiar with the factory area, so she went straight to the workshop where the male workers usually worked, while Molly searched for the scattered areas.
Ten minutes was a tight timeframe, but fortunately Zheng Yuan didn't deliberately hide the person, probably because he was afraid of being exposed, which made it easier for them to find the person.
Hung Hing, after all, came from the military, so his physique was different from that of ordinary people, not to mention that Molly could spot him at a glance in a crowd.
One figure among the workers loading and unloading goods stood out so much to her that she called out to him almost without thinking.
"Hung Hing!"
Hearing his name, he turned around and saw Molly. His first instinct was to hide, but this time she didn't give him a chance to escape her sight. She rushed over and grabbed him.
"I'm sorry, you...you've mistaken me for someone else."
He pulled down the brim of his hat to cover his face and denied it in a low, hoarse voice.
"Even if you turn to ashes, I will never mistake you! Hung Hing, stop hiding. This time, something really has happened. Come with me now, or Wan Ching will be in big trouble."
Before she could explain anything to him, Molly pulled him away, and when he heard that Jiang Wanqing would be in serious trouble, his attitude softened.
"What...what did you say?"
"Don't ask so many questions, let's go..."
"stop!"
Before they could leave, the factory manager's assistant suddenly appeared and stopped them, his hawk-like eyes fixed on them.
Without thinking, Molly stood in front of Hung Hing, who was unaware of what was happening, and nudged her aside.
"It's alright, he's the factory manager's assistant."
"I know he's the factory manager's assistant. Like Zheng Yuan, he's not a good person!"
"Huh? Is there some misunderstanding...? They're all fine..." Before he could finish speaking, Hung Hing saw a figure walking towards him from a distance and froze instantly: "Sister-in-law?!"
He glanced at Jiang Wanqing's face, then at Molly's expression, and swallowed the words he wanted to say.
"If they were really good, they wouldn't have tricked you into signing a contract of servitude. It was all part of a grand conspiracy, a huge trap, to ensnare me from the very beginning."
"What?!"
Hearing this information, which was completely different from what he had felt and perceived, Hung Hing's mind was momentarily blank.
“Wanqing is right. Even I was almost fooled by Zheng Yuan. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, ruthless and heartless! To bind Wanqing to him, he actually…”
"Comrade Hongxing, don't listen to their nonsense. Have you forgotten how good our factory director has been to you these past few days? Without him, how could you have such a stable life today?" The factory director's assistant interrupted Molly, staring intently into Hongxing's eyes, trying to pull him back to his side.
“I…” He hesitated for a moment.
"Comrade Wanqing, you are no longer an employee of our factory. Please do not linger here!"
The other party told them to leave, then gave a wink to the workers next to him. They looked at each other, seemingly afraid to step forward.
"What are you standing there for! Don't forget who pays your wages!"
Hong Xing's eyes flickered, and when he looked up at Jiang Wanqing, he did not approach her, his tone cold and distant.
"Comrade Wanqing, you should go. I'm doing fine here. It was Director Zheng who gave me a stable job and life. Regardless of whether it's a contract of servitude or not, he is my second father now. I can't betray him."
He stopped calling his sister-in-law "sister-in-law," which to outsiders clearly meant he wanted to sever ties with them. The factory manager's assistant curled his lips, quite satisfied with his performance.
"Did you hear me? Comrade Hung Hing will not go with you. Now get out of here!"
The lackeys' expressions reflected Zheng Yuan's attitude; because Jiang Wanqing had not obeyed them, they didn't even need to show her basic respect.
"Hong Xing, what are you saying! How can you believe Zheng Yuan and not believe us!"
