"Alright, then I'll trouble you. If you're tired, just rest. Don't worry about me. Just treat this place as a place to have fun. Don't bring your work enthusiasm with you, or I'll feel bad about it."
Jiang Wanqing could only say this under their warm hospitality, otherwise she would be seen as ungrateful. They were all friends, and it wouldn't be good to be too formal.
"Okay! Don't worry!"
On the other side, Yang Chang left Jiang Wanqing's house and drove back to the factory. As his car left the main road and entered a small road in the factory area, a person wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared at the bend and stood in front of his car.
"Sizzle..."
A sharp screech of brakes rang out, and Yang Chang slammed on the brakes. His body lurched forward due to inertia. The man's head was lowered, half of his face hidden by a black hood, making it impossible to see what he looked like. Yang cursed and opened the car door to get out.
"Who do you think you are! Don't you know you're asking for death? I can call the police to arrest you for deliberately causing trouble..."
Before Yang Chang could finish speaking, the man raised his head, a strange smile playing on his lips, and stared at him. Yang Chang felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of unease creeping over him...
"What...what are you going to do! I'm really going to call the police!"
"Comrade Yang, I'm here to help you."
The man's voice was as unpleasant as a crow's, yet it blended perfectly with the surrounding dense forest. Yang Chang's eyes widened, and he shrank back.
Let alone him, a grown man, even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he would definitely be frightened by this scene, he thought.
"Help me?" He scoffed. "I think you're just here to cause trouble!"
His heart pounded. How did this woman know his name? And how did she manage to intercept him so precisely here? This was too unsettling to think about…
The woman approached him, and he was so startled that he stepped back, his lower back hitting the hood of the car. The centipede-like scar on the woman's neck came into Yang Chang's view.
He swallowed hard, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. Could it really be a ghost in broad daylight? He was certain he had never seen this woman before!
"I can help you regain control of the company from Jiang Wanqing. It would be a piece of cake to turn hers into yours. What do you want?"
She even knows Jiang Wanqing?!
Could this be another of Jiang Wanqing's enemies? Yang Chang couldn't help but think of Su Su and that woman's fate. He had witnessed Jiang Wanqing's abilities firsthand, and he knew that there was no good end to going against someone like that.
He just wanted to make some money; he didn't want to risk his life and future. It wasn't worth it.
Yang Chang scrambled back into the car and slammed the door shut.
"Are you crazy?! Don't drag me into this..."
The woman caught up with him and threw a note into his car.
"Comrade Yang, you'll need me. Remember to contact me then!"
Yang Chang stepped on the gas, leaving the other person behind. He glanced in the rearview mirror and, seeing that the other person wasn't chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the note on the floor of the car and scoffed.
"Another one who doesn't know his own limitations. Jiang Wanqing is a monster. If you try to mess with her, you'll probably be the one who dies first!"
Yang Chang treated the matter as a minor incident and didn't take it to heart. Although he felt a little uncomfortable about having to give back the power he had just acquired, he understood the principle of might makes right. After all, Jiang Wanqing still needed him, and he could earn a lot. He only hoped that she would have bigger plans and ideas in the future and hand over all the business in the Southwest to him, just like she handed over the business in the Beijing area to those few people...
Thinking this to himself, he also planned to find some time to get closer to Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran, hoping to increase their favor towards him, since the incident of sending paper money last time wasn't good. He needed to find an opportunity to make amends.
However……
The next day, Yang Chang went to the factory for inspection as usual, but was told that three people were looking for him. At first, he thought they were business partners, so he asked them where they were and went over there.
Upon entering the factory, Yang Chang saw Hong Xing and the others directing operations on the production line, with Shen Huan taking notes in a small notebook. Yang Chang's expression darkened upon seeing this, and he walked over, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Comrade Hong Xing, Comrade Mo Li, Comrade Shen Huan, what are you doing here? Did Comrade Jiang ask you to convey something to me?"
Yang Chang's expression remained relatively amiable, because he thought that these people would definitely return to the capital soon, and it wouldn't affect him. Having more friends meant having more options, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
"Comrade Yang, we meet again. It's not that Sister Wanqing asked us to pass on a message to you today; we've come to learn from you." Hongxing shook Yang Chang's hand. "This factory is doing quite well. We came to see if there's any experience we can learn from. Also, Sister Wanqing and Brother Cheng were worried that you couldn't manage everything on your own, so they asked us to come and help you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chang's expression almost changed completely. Were they here to help him? Or to keep an eye on him? Or were they here to seize power from him?
Is it because Jiang Wanqing couldn't say it directly, so she used this method to force people in?
Yang Chang was filled with many questions. He forcibly suppressed his displeasure and tentatively asked Hong Xing.
"Comrades Hongxing, it's not that I don't welcome you, it's just... I'm just curious. I've heard that your businesses in Beijing are completely different from mine. What... do you want to learn?"
"Ah, is that so? It's never a bad thing to learn more. We're not going back anytime soon anyway, so we're just killing time."
Are you not going back for a while? Or are you never going back at all?
Yang Chang's eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to ask directly. He swallowed and his expression turned into a forced smile.
"Okay, you guys take a look first. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I'll go to the office to take care of some work."
"Okay, you're busy, we won't bother you, just take a look first."
Hung Hing and the others told him to do as he pleased, but Yang Chang hesitated, then turned away and his smile vanished immediately.
Back in his office, he slammed his briefcase on the table.
"You, Jiang Wanqing, I used to think you were an honest and upright person, but now you're trying to discard me after I've served my purpose, transferring the work I did to your friends!"
He was furious and extremely uncomfortable. He had been suppressing his inappropriate thoughts, but the other person had gotten there first. Even slaughtering a pig wouldn't be that fast!
He paced back and forth in front of his desk for a while, clapping his hands and muttering anxiously.
"No... I can't just sit here and wait to die. Jiang Wanqing is heartless, so don't blame me for being ruthless! You've all forced me to this!"
He would never give away what he had worked so hard to earn!
"Ring ring..."
The office landline rang, and Yang Chang answered it.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"I am the head of the Northwest Group, and I would like to order a batch of products from you..."
A gleam flashed in Yang Chang's eyes, and he immediately took out paper and pen: "Yes, yes, Beixin will definitely provide the best product..."
