"No, I must handle this myself."
Jiang Wanqing's attitude was also firm. In any case, Yang Chang was someone she had chosen to cooperate with in the first place, and now it was her turn to end everything.
Moreover, she was certain that Yang Chang was waiting for her to return to the factory. After all, she still had the design drawings in her hands. If he wanted to earn more, he would have to deceive her while substituting the original design with something else...
"Your safety is the most important thing. Don't forget there's also Guo Xueyun in the shadows. We have no idea what they're plotting. If you insist on taking the risk, I will not agree to it this time!"
Previously, Cheng Ran still had hope for Yang Chang, thinking that he wouldn't do anything foolish or stupid. Now, it's certain that the absurd thing was done by him. How could Cheng Ran possibly let Jiang Wanqing risk her life?
The two were deadlocked over this matter, and there were even signs that the argument was going to escalate further.
The driver hadn't left yet. Seeing this, he leaned out of the car and shouted something.
"Hey comrades, are you coming or not?"
"Let's go back!"
"Go to the Jiang family!"
Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran answered at the same time that they were indeed going to different destinations.
He picked her up, put her in the car, closed the door, and gave instructions to the driver.
"The place where we were brought back!"
"Don't listen to him, go to the Jiang family!"
"This..." The driver turned the car key, glanced back at the couple, and scratched his head. "Whom should I listen to?"
"I'll give you double the fare, go to the Jiang family!"
"I'll give you three times the amount, go back!"
The driver chuckled as the price of the car was inflated.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, I can take you both. Here's what I'll do: I'll take this man home first, and then I'll take this woman to the Jiang family..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received sharp glares from Cheng Ran and Jiang Wanqing. The driver flinched in fright and swallowed hard.
"No...it won't work?"
The back seat fell silent. Jiang Wanqing didn't want to go back now, and Cheng Ran didn't want her to go to Jiang's Group either. The driver didn't know whether he should drive or not.
After a long silence, Cheng Ran finally gave in and held Jiang Wanqing's hand tightly.
"Is it absolutely necessary to go? Does it have to be today? Can't we go back first and discuss it further?"
“You know me.” Jiang Wanqing turned to look at him, her expression serious. “If I knew there were unreliable people around me eroding my achievements, I couldn’t stand it for long!”
He tilted his head slightly and sighed helplessly: "I can go, but I need to go to a phone booth on the way."
"good."
And so, Cheng Ran cooperated with Jiang Wanqing's actions, patting the driver's seat.
"Listen to her, go to the Jiang family."
"Tsk tsk, comrade, you're such a loving husband." The driver smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself that this guy was definitely henpecked.
However, when it comes to making money, it's best to say as little as possible. The driver didn't offer any further opinions and drove towards Jiang's company. On the way, he stopped at a phone booth, got out of the car, and spent two minutes making a phone call.
Immediately afterwards, the car headed straight for Jiang's residence. Since this was Jiang Wanqing's territory, she didn't get out at the entrance but directly told the driver to drive in.
At first, the security guard stopped her, but when he saw the back window roll down and Jiang Wanqing's face appear, he instantly became extremely respectful.
"Director Jiang, it's you back."
"Aren't you going to let them through?"
"Yes, I'll release it right away!"
The security guard was scolded by Jiang Wanqing and dared not stop them anymore. He quickly raised the barrier to let the car in.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror in surprise: "So you're the factory manager here. No wonder your man listens to you in everything. Haha, whoever is in power is the boss, that makes sense."
Everything suddenly made sense; who wouldn't want to pamper a wife who can make a lot of money?
Cheng Ran didn't explain, and Jiang Wanqing didn't say anything either. Both of them were thinking about the same thing and had no intention of paying attention to the driver's half-joking remark.
The car stopped straight at the factory gate. The two got out and walked straight inside. Some people saw Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran arrive suddenly and greeted them nervously and happily.
The factory workers are incredibly busy, with one person doing the work of two. Many want to quit and harbor resentment towards Yang Chang.
"Director Jiang, you're back."
"Hello, Director Jiang."
"Director Jiang, we have something to say to you..."
Hearing everyone's voices, Jiang Wanqing calmed down and slightly raised her hand.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I'll be on the production line in a bit, so please don't worry."
"Okay, thank you, Director Jiang. Please remember to come!"
"Um."
Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran exchanged a glance and went straight to Yang Chang's office.
As soon as they reached the door, they smelled a strong odor of smoke, and Cheng Ran pulled Jiang Wanqing back.
"Wait outside for a moment, I'll go in and call him out."
The smell of smoke was too strong, and he was worried that it would affect her and the child.
"good."
She agreed, though the smell made her want to vomit, but before the problem was solved, her body couldn't take it anymore.
Cheng Ran didn't knock and just pushed the door open. Sure enough, Yang Chang was inside. The ashtray on the desk was full of cigarette butts. When he heard the door open, he looked up sharply, saw who it was, and quickly stood up.
"Comrade Cheng, what brings you here? You didn't even let me know. I didn't prepare anything. Please sit down, I'll make you some tea right away."
As soon as Yang Changgang finished speaking, Cheng Ran raised her hand to stop him from getting any closer, frowning.
"No need, I don't drink tea. Come out here."
"ah?"
Yang Chang was stunned for a moment, but Cheng Ran had already turned around and left before he could react, so he had no choice but to follow.
Just as she was wondering what had happened, she went outside and saw Jiang Wanqing. Her heart jumped, but she quickly put on a smile.
"Comrade Jiang, it's you! Come in quickly..."
"Let's talk in my office."
Jiang Wanqing frowned and raised her hand to fan her nose.
"Oh, okay."
Yang Chang sniffed his clothes, and quickly tried to explain himself.
"Um... I've been under a lot of pressure lately, so I smoked a couple more cigarettes. I won't do it again. Please forgive me, Comrade Jiang."
“There will be no future,” Jiang Wanqing said coldly.
"Yes, there will be no future, there definitely will be no future."
Yang Chang didn't grasp the meaning behind her words and simply followed Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran to her office.
As soon as the three of them went inside, Cheng Ran closed the door and stood by Jiang Wanqing's side the whole time, never leaving her side.
"Comrade Jiang, you've suddenly returned. Is there something important? Is it about the design drawings that Comrade Cheng took last time? Have you... finished revising them?"
Yang Chang's eyes were filled with anticipation. That old dog Kang had taken away the technology he already had. Now he needed new technology to produce new products and seize new markets as soon as possible.
"Oh? I saw a lot of workers working non-stop when I came in. Why are you in such a hurry for new blueprints? Is the factory's current production line about to go under?" Jiang Wanqing asked abruptly.
