Jiang Wanqing rushed to the factory without stopping. Now only Shen Huan was in charge. As soon as she entered, she saw her running back and forth on the production line, so busy that she barely had time to breathe.
"Director Jiang is back!" someone shouted.
"Wanqing!"
The workers' voices caught Shen Huan's attention, and she immediately turned around to look. Sure enough, she saw Jiang Wanqing and hurriedly ran over.
"Why are you back? Weren't you out of town...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wanqing grabbed her arm and left.
"Come to my office first. I need your help with something urgent."
"ah?"
Although Shen Huan was puzzled, it was the first time she had seen Jiang Wanqing like this, and she knew that this was no small matter, so she obediently followed her to the office.
The door was closed, and I was pulled to the table, where a landline phone was pushed in front of me.
“Here, call Qin Meng. This is her phone number.” Jiang Wanqing took out the contact information Molly had given her. “Just tell her you want to talk to her, that you’re interested in cooperating with her, and ask her to meet with you.”
Shen Huan was still dazed when a slip of paper and a landline receiver were slipped into her hand. She blinked, looked at Jiang Wanqing, pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with doubt, and then gently put them down.
"I'm scared by you, Wanqing. Just tell me what happened. Molly isn't here, Hongxing isn't here, Shuzhen isn't here, I'm completely lost."
She was, after all, still a naive young girl. Jiang Wanqing didn't want to tell her too much, lest she get caught up in internal conflict or other negative emotions. But seeing her like this, she knew that not telling her would probably make her even more upset.
"Please sit down and let me explain slowly."
Jiang Wanqing helped her sit down, poured her a glass of water, and mentally sorted out her thoughts and words.
You know about Molly almost having a miscarriage, right?
"I know, it's not that she and Duan Xiaowan accidentally had an argument and she tripped and fell..."
"Do you know why she and Duan Xiaowan argued?"
Upon hearing Jiang Wanqing's question, Shen Huan was stunned and shook her head.
"have no idea."
She was too busy with her own things. Firstly, she wasn't familiar with Duan Xiaowan, and secondly, she wasn't there on the day of the incident. She only heard rumors from others and hadn't seen Molly in the hospital or heard the truth from the parties involved.
"It's Qin Meng."
Just three words made Shen Huan put down her cup, stand up, and look at Jiang Wanqing in disbelief, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Didn't she break up with us a long time ago? What does this have to do with her?"
"On the surface, it has nothing to do with her, but actually, she's the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes. She thinks I'm preventing her from going solo and making a comeback, so she plans to get rid of you one by one. The first one is Molly. She took advantage of Molly's pregnancy and not knowing the specific situation in the factory, so she deliberately stirred up trouble while I was away..."
“Wait a minute…” Shen Huan raised her hand, “Who did she provoke? Everyone in our factory has been incredibly busy lately…”
“She went to Molly’s house and told her that I intended to groom Duan Xiaowan to replace her.”
Jiang Wanqing rubbed her forehead, pursed her lips, and didn't want to continue. After all, they used to be good friends, and she never expected things to come to this. Shen Huan was still stunned, and after she understood, she sat down.
"So...she stirred up trouble for Molly, making her feel threatened, so that even with her pregnant belly, she insisted on coming to the factory to find out what was going on, and then the accident happened?"
"That's right. After Molly was hospitalized, she even went to the hospital to poach people. To be honest, I really don't know what I did to wrong her!"
"how so……"
The office fell silent as the two women were lost in their own thoughts. Shen Huan belatedly realized something and felt a bit scared. Qin Meng had also approached her, and at the time, she had naively thought it was because the other woman couldn't let go of her feelings. So, if she wavered, she might also face unknown dangers?
“I know it’s hard for you to accept, but I’m afraid that if I don’t stop her, she will continue to act recklessly. So I need you to contact her and ask her out. You know she definitely doesn’t want to see me, but you are different.”
Jiang Wanqing looked at her with a serious expression. Shen Huan swallowed and understood her meaning; it was nothing more than luring the snake out of its hole.
She hesitated for a moment. She had never done anything like this before, and it was inevitable that she would feel conflicted and worried about using it on her former best friend for the first time.
"Will this really work? What if she finds out..."
"Don't worry, leave everything to me. If you really don't want to, then forget it."
Jiang Wanqing disliked forcing others to do things against their will, and was about to give up when Shen Huan grabbed her hand, looked into her eyes, and nodded gently.
"I'll call her, I'll ask her out."
"Thanks."
She shook her head, walked to the table, picked up the slip of paper, and dialed the phone number on it.
A few seconds later, someone answered the phone, and it was indeed Qin Meng's voice.
"Who are you……"
The person on the other end hesitated slightly because this number belonged to Jiang Wanqing's office.
"Qin Meng, it's me, Shen Huan. I got your contact information from Molly. Is it a convenient time for you to talk now?"
"Why are you calling me from Jiang Wanqing's office phone?" The other person was still somewhat skeptical.
"Wanqing isn't here, so I'm the only one in charge of the factory now. I heard from Molly that she's interested in working for you. I wanted to ask if you need any more people? I don't want to stay here anymore, so why don't you take me on?"
Shen Huan's acting was quite good; the cautious expectation in her words really appealed to Qin Meng, and a response came immediately from the other end of the phone.
"Sure, you can come anytime."
"But... I still have to wait until the handover of my work here is complete. How about this, can we meet up and you tell me in detail, so I can feel more at ease working for you? Is that okay?"
Jiang Wanqing remained silent, waiting for Qin Meng's reply, but the air seemed to freeze for a moment before a voice was heard.
"Okay, then let's meet at the state-run restaurant this evening. I'll treat you to dinner."
"Yes, I will definitely go."
After the two finished their appointment, Shen Huan quickly hung up the phone, patted her chest, and looked at Jiang Wanqing with some trepidation.
"Is that all? Should I still go?"
"Do you want to go?" Jiang Wanqing asked her. "If you want to know the truth, you can go, but if you don't want to shatter..."
"Wow!"
She knew what the unfinished words were. If she didn't go, she could pretend nothing had happened, and once this was over, she could still be friends with Qin Meng without severing ties.
But once she goes there, Jiang Wanqing will inevitably expose the bloody truth: the relationship between these people is completely over.
"Shen Huan, this is not a joke. Have you thought this through?"
"Yes, Wanqing, I know people change. I also want to see what Qin Meng has become that can tear apart the few remaining bonds between us."
If she doesn't face the truth this time, she might be next, losing everything she has now, or even losing her life.
“Okay, let’s go together.” Jiang Wanqing patted her hand.
