Back in her office, Shen Huan was so angry she could hardly breathe. She poured herself a glass of water to calm herself down, and as she watched Jiang Wanqing close the door, she turned around and shouted.
"Are you really going to let Qin Meng go? She's completely blinded by those two, she's not thinking straight. We can't act impulsively like her. Putting aside the order shipment, we know her personality best. If she leaves, who knows what will happen to her in the future..."
Jiang Wanqing patted Shen Huan's shoulder and forced a smile, because she was also in a bad mood because of today's mess.
"It's precisely because I understand her personality that I agreed to her request first. Otherwise, she would have made a huge fuss today. I gave her three days, so let's quickly have a meeting with Molly and Shuzhen to see if we can finally get Qin Meng to agree to the proposal."
Upon hearing her words, Chen Huan's eyes lit up with surprise. He hugged her tightly, his voice trembling with tears, and he sniffled.
“I knew you wouldn’t abandon any of us, otherwise you wouldn’t have taken us, these burdens, with you in the first place. And Qin Meng, why did you distance yourself from you because of Huanren?”
"She's right. I do know Huanren likes me, but I made it clear a long time ago that I couldn't have anything beyond friendship with him. That's why Cheng Ran and I became friends with him. I just didn't expect that after he was transferred to the Beijing area, his absurd ideas would resurface. I can only tell you for sure that when I was trying to match Qin Meng with him, I really didn't know..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I believe you. Qin Meng must have been blinded by anger. After all, it's her first time liking someone, so it must be uncomfortable. Don't blame her. Shuzhen and I will definitely try to persuade her again."
"Hmm." Jiang Wanqing raised her wrist and glanced at her watch. "It's getting late. I need to go back to the main factory to tell Molly and the others. Then I need to go home early today. Cheng Ran is back."
"Huh? He's on vacation recently?"
Jiang Wanqing shook her head: "Because of Qin Meng's letter..."
"This... sigh, what kind of mess is this! You should go now, I'll inform Shuzhen."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"Don't be so polite with me, I'll see you out."
After leaving the branch factory, Jiang Wanqing returned to the main factory and discussed Qin Meng's withdrawal with Molly and Hong Xing. After hearing the whole story, the two of them found it unbelievable.
The atmosphere in the office became strange, and Molly suddenly jumped up and slammed her hand on the table.
"How could she do this! No, we have to persuade her to stop..."
"Sister-in-law, are you and Brother Cheng alright? Please don't let something unfounded cause a rift between you."
Compared to Molly's concerns, Hung Hing was more concerned about Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran's relationship. After all, he had watched them get to know each other and fall in love, and he couldn't stand to see them have a conflict over something like this.
“We’re fine. We’ve already talked things out. Remember what happened three days from now. Don’t act rashly then. Talk to Qin Meng properly and try your best to keep her here. If she insists on doing things her own way, then there’s nothing we can do.”
Molly stepped forward and patted Jiang Wanqing's hand, her tone filled with regret and a hint of anger.
"If only I had kept an eye on things when Qin Meng was hiring, those two weird relatives of yours are just awful!"
"There's no use talking about this now. Let's save our energy for three days later."
"good!"
Because she has been rushing to meet orders and cannot afford to make any mistakes, Jiang Wanqing must prepare for both possibilities.
If Qin Meng stays, everything will proceed as planned. If she doesn't, we need to come up with contingency plans now. Orders can't be delayed, and the branch factory can't be short-staffed...
Two hours before the end of the workday, Jiang Wanqing went to a nearby factory to find Gu Yu.
After the Ye family incident ended, the two maintained a good working relationship and would occasionally meet. This time, her initiative to go to the factory surprised Gu Yu.
"Knock knock knock..."
Knowing the way well, he arrived at Gu Yu's office door and knocked.
"Enter."
Gu Yu was working when she heard the sound. She responded first, then looked up and saw Jiang Wanqing, smiling and nodding.
"What are you doing here? You don't come here unless you need something. You didn't invite me to dinner today, did you?"
"Your intuition is getting sharper and sharper. I'm not here to invite you to dinner today. I'm here to ask for your help. If you can help me get through this difficult time, I'll treat you to all the meals for the rest of your life."
"Hahaha……"
The two were already quite familiar with each other. When Gu Yu heard Jiang Wanqing joking, she laughed and stopped what she was doing.
"Tell me, what kind of help are you looking for?"
"I would like to borrow your production line and workers."
Jiang Wanqing didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her request, to which the other party slightly opened her mouth and blinked.
"That's strange. You have so many branch factories and so many workers, and the managers are all united. Is it because you have too many orders lately and can't keep up?"
"There are reasons such as being too busy, and there are also reasons such as internal problems. I have a friend who is also a manager, and he wants to step down."
Jiang Wanqing didn't hide anything from Gu Yu. The two had been through thick and thin together, and although they were now friends and sometimes competitors, they were both very moral.
"Has your friend gone mad?! He's at the peak of his career following you, and now he wants to quit? How much has he been drinking to be so confident in himself?!"
"It's a long story, but in short... she's likely to quit and go solo, and she'll definitely take some of the funds, production lines, and workers with her. To avoid problems with order fulfillment, I wanted to discuss this with you first. Don't worry, I'll pay double, and it definitely won't affect your profits."
Gu Yu pursed her lips, as if she was thinking. After about a minute, she looked up and sighed.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but as you know, our businesses overlap, but there are also differences. I can’t lend you many production lines. On the one hand, I have to ensure the production of my own factory, and I’m afraid that it won’t meet your expectations.”
"It's alright, I'll be grateful for any help you can give. I'll also look for other partners to see if they can help. This is just a precautionary measure, and it may not necessarily require such a big effort."
"Okay, just come find me whenever you need me, that's all."
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome. You're not getting something for nothing, so I'm not losing out."
The two exchanged a smile. Jiang Wanqing felt a little more confident in facing the risks after resolving the situation on this side.
Before she knew it, it was evening, and she thought she should go pick up her daughter and take her home.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw Cheng Ran leading Nannan across the road.
"Mom's here too!"
When Nannan saw her, she quickened her pace and ran over. Jiang Wanqing hugged her, and all the fatigue of the day vanished in that moment.
"Were you well-behaved at school today?"
"I was good, so Mom and Dad came to pick me up together. Is that a reward?"
Cheng Ran stood cautiously beside Jiang Wanqing and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Could it be a reward?"
His question carried another meaning: if she could, it would mean she wasn't angry with him anymore.
