Cheng Ran received the letter five days later, but it didn't go directly to him; it went through Yuan Nian instead.
When she handed him the letter, he clearly noticed that it had been tampered with. He frowned at her, looking displeased.
"You've already taken it apart?"
"I..." she stammered, her eyes darting around, clearly looking guilty.
But she quickly came up with an excuse, yet dared not look him in the eye.
“I… I saw that it was a letter written to you by a woman. I remembered that my aunt told me to keep an eye on you and not to make selective mistakes, so I took a look for you.”
Yuan Nian turned her face away and twirled her braid with her fingers. Dealing with Jiang Wanqing, the first wife, was already a headache for her. When she accidentally saw the letter that another woman sent to Cheng Ran, she naturally wanted to see what was going on.
If he had the same idea as her, he would have destroyed it without hesitation, and I believe he wouldn't have dared to do anything. I never expected that the contents of the letter would be an accusation against Jiang Wanqing, and the person who wrote the letter was actually that woman's friend!
And here we are, running right into each other! I was just wondering how to deal with Jiang Wanqing!
"If this happens again, I won't let you off easily! Get out!"
Cheng Ran was somewhat angry, but his attention was on the sender's name. When he saw Qin Meng's name, he frowned.
His relationship with Qin Meng was entirely through Jiang Wanqing; the two had no direct contact. Why would she write to him?
Could something have happened at home...? Thinking of this, he forgot about Yuan Nian and quickly found a place to read the letter.
"Cheng Ran, you..."
She was dumped without even getting a kind word from him, and she stomped her feet in anger. But then she remembered what he wrote in the letter and couldn't help but smile.
"Just you wait! You'll be mine sooner or later! Once I'm done with you, I won't care who you are!"
She snorted, touched a small paper packet in her pocket, and left happily. By nightfall, she would show Cheng Ran what she was capable of!
Back in his room, Cheng Ran quickly opened the letter, read it at a glance, and finally crumpled the letter into a ball, tore it to shreds, and threw it into the trash can!
"How could this be..."
First, his mother told him that Jiang Wanqing and Huanren had an ambiguous relationship, but that was because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along, which he naturally did not believe.
Now, Qin Meng also said in her letter that Jiang Wanqing and Huan Ren are entangled in something. The two of them are good friends who started a business together and have never had a fight. Is she lying too?
Cheng Ran's heart trembled. He didn't know how much of the contents of the letter were true and how much were false, but he knew he couldn't continue like this. Otherwise, when he got home, his family might fall apart, and he absolutely wouldn't allow that to happen!
He gritted his teeth, immediately went to his superior's office, submitted a report requesting leave to go home and visit his family!
That night, he couldn't sleep at all. He had packed his luggage early and was just waiting for dawn. He headed straight for the station, not wanting to wait even a second longer.
I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, regretting that I tore up that letter too early. If there really was something inside, it could have served as evidence.
Late at night, a strange noise came from outside the window. Cheng Ran immediately became alert. Then, a fragrance wafted in. Before inhaling too much, he immediately held his breath and pretended to be drugged...
A few minutes later, a furtive figure entered his room.
Who exactly is it?
He waited quietly until the person approached, stood by the bed, and patted his face.
"Comrade Cheng?"
"Cheng Ran? Can you hear me?"
That voice... is it Yuan Nian?
What is she doing here at this time?
Regardless, they definitely didn't have good intentions. Cheng Ran's hand subconsciously reached under the pillow.
All you could hear was Yuan Nian muttering to herself while making rustling noises, as if she were taking off her clothes.
"Cheng Ran, don't blame me. Why couldn't you fall for my tricks? I've had my eye on you for a long time. There's nothing I, Yuan Nian, can't get, no matter what I want!"
"Hmph, you're going back to the capital tomorrow, I have to take advantage of tonight..."
As she spoke, she bent down, and Cheng Ran immediately flipped over and pressed the dagger against her neck.
"You bastard! How could you do something like drugging someone!"
"You...you didn't faint..."
When Yuan Nian saw that Cheng Ran was unharmed, she knew he had been faking it all along, but how could he have known...?
"Hmph, someone else has used this method before. It's true that people with evil hearts all use the same methods!"
"So what? As long as you force me now, tomorrow... Waaaaah..."
Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was suddenly stuffed full of smelly socks, and Cheng Ran found a sleeping drug on her body.
"You won't have that chance. I'll hand over the evidence that you drugged me to the higher-ups!"
"Waaaaah..."
"Let me go!" Yuan Nian panicked. If he handed over the evidence, she would definitely be severely punished, and the cultural troupe would certainly not tolerate her.
"Shut up!"
Cheng Ran is in a bad mood right now, and Yuan Nian came to his door looking for trouble, so who can he blame?
"Thump..."
Taking advantage of the darkness, she knocked over a washbasin on the table, making a noise that distracted Cheng Ran, allowing Yuan Nian to quickly escape...
He wanted to give chase, but it was too late, and if he made a fuss and someone found out, he might be framed. He had to hold back for now and go back to the capital to deal with more important matters.
The next day, nothing happened. Cheng Ran went straight to the station, but before that, he was careful and wrote a letter to his superiors, submitting evidence that Yuan Nian had intended to drug him.
The train journey from the southwest to Beijing takes dozens of hours, leaving passengers dusty and weary from the journey.
"yawn!"
Jiang Wanqing was working when she suddenly sneezed several times. Molly happened to be passing by and went in to pour her a cup of hot water.
"Why don't you take a break? Ever since you came back from the exhibition, you've been processing orders non-stop every day. Even if you're made of iron, you can't keep up like this."
Jiang Wanqing took the water Molly poured for her and shook her head.
"I'm not tired. My daughter has someone to help me with the orders. I'll finish processing them as soon as possible so that I don't get a bad reputation right after exporting them. It'll make things easier for me in the future."
After that exchange meeting, the factory received an overwhelming number of orders, both domestic and international. Even though they had already delegated a lot of the work to the branch factories, they were still struggling. Everyone was busy, so how could she only think about her own enjoyment?
"Okay, you always have an excuse. Without you holding us up, the sky would fall."
Molly pursed her lips. Her words were a bit sarcastic, but her intentions were good. She was just worried that Jiang Wanqing was too tired and that it was affecting her health.
"Oh, by the way, how's Qin Meng doing? Did she fire those two so-called relatives of mine?"
"Hmm... I almost forgot if you hadn't asked. Not yet. They said production has increased sharply recently, and they were going to hire people to work overtime. But she doesn't want to lay off people right now. She'll wait until things calm down."
"What Qin Meng said?"
"yes."
Jiang Wanqing frowned, as if she was thinking about something. She could just fire two and hire two more. Based on her understanding of Xue Gang and Guihua, these two were lazy, greedy, and wicked. Fired them would only bring benefits and no harm.
