"Ugh... I didn't earn nearly enough this month! Give me an explanation!"
Jiang Xiu went berserk in the office, throwing the monthly report at Guo Xueyun in extreme anger.
"If this continues, will the factory even be able to keep operating?! Are you even working properly?! Answer me!"
She glared fiercely at Guo Xueyun, looking exactly like a man-eating demon.
"It's good enough that we can maintain this level. Jiang Wanqing's factory has all sorts of tricks up its sleeve, and the workers are very enthusiastic. Our factory workers are about to strike. If you don't pay them their wages, they won't want to work, and the goods can't be shipped. Who's to blame for that?"
Guo Xueyun pursed her lips indifferently, picked up the report, and put it back on Jiang Xiu's desk.
"Where am I supposed to get the money to pay their salaries! They cause trouble if I don't keep an eye on them for a day! What are you good for?!"
"What's the point of getting angry with me? I've noticed your temper has gotten worse since you got pregnant. If this continues, who can stand you?"
"you……"
Actually, Jiang Xiu was just making a fuss. She was feeling irritable. Things weren't going well with the Ye family, and now things weren't going well at the factory either. She thought that after Gu Yu withdrew, she would have a smooth road ahead, but now it seems like the road is getting narrower and narrower. Who put a spell on her?
Finding a seat, Guo Xueyun wasn't afraid of her. She glanced up and snorted.
"You were quite calm before, what's wrong with you lately? You're acting like a shrew all the time. I advise you to calm down. If you want to earn the money back, I have a way."
"What method?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Guo Xueyun's words, Jiang Xiu frowned and cast a sharp glance at her.
"There's a business partnership dinner at the Guoxing Hotel in a few days. It's about collaboration between industries to expand the market, increase profits, and even expand our products to overseas markets. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."
Why are you only telling me this now?
"Tsk, isn't it because you haven't been coming to the factory much lately, and we haven't seen each other much? Where am I supposed to talk to you?" Guo Xueyun retorted lightly.
Jiang Xiu was speechless. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. The child in her belly was a ticking time bomb. She might not be able to rely on the Ye family in the future. The factory had become her only hope. If she could earn more money, the Ye family probably wouldn't push her away.
If she has another child with Ye Yu, things will be back under her control.
As long as you don't give up, there's always a way to overcome difficulties—that's no exaggeration.
"Okay, I'll go. You can send someone to prepare the documents and materials for me, and I'll bring them with me."
"That's right. I heard Jiang Wanqing will be going this time too, so we should prepare things properly for you."
Who do you think will go?
Upon hearing Guo Xueyun's words, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked over. She hadn't heard that name for a while, and hearing it now still made her grit her teeth in hatred.
"Jiang Wanqing, she'll be there too. I heard from others that she's determined to win, so you'd better be careful."
As she said this, she seemed to be smugly provoking the two to fight, as if afraid the situation wasn't chaotic enough. Soon after, she started stirring things up again.
"Oh, by the way, you're both pregnant. The competition between two pregnant women is sure to be quite interesting. Don't disappoint me; the factory still needs you to turn things around."
Jiang Xiu clenched her fists tightly, her face turning red. She was determined to prove herself, even if it meant sacrificing her own interests. Originally, she had only wanted to give it a try, but now that she heard Jiang Wanqing was also going, she had decided that she would do whatever it took to secure this cooperation.
Even if she can't get it, Jiang Wanqing absolutely cannot get it!
"Bang!"
She slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"Stop talking nonsense and get ready!"
"Okay, good luck then."
Guo Xueyun shook her hand and walked out of the office, a sinister smile curling at the corner of her mouth. This state of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is really good. She can watch them fight to the death without lifting a finger. What could be more enjoyable than this?
"yawn!"
In the afternoon, on the way back, Jiang Wanqing sneezed quite hard.
While driving, Cheng Ran freed one hand to touch her forehead.
"Have you caught a cold?"
"No, it's probably just dust that got in its throat."
She shook her head, rubbed her nose, and closed the car window.
There's road construction going on in many parts of Beijing right now, and the roads are dusty. You can easily end up covered in dust on your way home, it's really dirty.
"Go back and wash it with hot water."
"Um."
Jiang Wanqing casually agreed, then immediately looked down at her work documents.
He glanced at it: "It's already after get off work, wouldn't it be better to let yourself rest?"
"There's a business dinner in a couple of days. Given my current situation, I definitely can't compete with those who can drink a lot. I can only rely on my own strengths to secure the partnership and avoid many detours later."
She knows that now is a good time to develop together. As a team in an industry grows larger, resources become more concentrated. The further you go, the more you have to fight alone. So she has to pay attention.
Cheng Ran knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so maintaining a steady speed to make her eyes feel better was the best he could do.
With Jiang Wanqing's careful preparation, the day of attending the dinner party finally arrived.
The entrance to Guoxing Hotel was adorned with red ribbons, and crowds of people came and went, all attending the event with great solemnity.
She specifically chose an outfit that could cover her stomach properly, so that her belly wouldn't be too conspicuous in the crowd.
As soon as she got off the bus at the entrance, she ran into someone she didn't want to see. Jiang Xiu was wearing high heels, carrying a bag, and walking slowly and with difficulty, her stomach tucked in.
"Sister, it's been a long time!"
Hearing the sudden "sister" from her, Jiang Wanqing knew she was up to no good and went inside without even looking.
"Hey... don't rush off. They say sisters working together can break through any obstacle. It won't do us any good to go against each other on such an important occasion as today."
Jiang Wanqing glanced at the hand that was gripping her arm, and she awkwardly let go.
"Don't follow me! Don't pretend in front of me. We're all shrewd old foxes, don't try to play innocent with me. Get lost!"
"you……"
Jiang Xiu patted her belly. Her mission had failed. Today, she was determined to pester Jiang Wanqing and use that woman to get rid of the hidden danger in her belly and incite everyone's disgust. Even if the cooperation failed, she would still have an explanation to the Ye family.
Anyway, it wasn't her fault; someone was trying to harm her! Sticking to that point is definitely the right thing to do!
Suppressing her anger, Jiang Xiu followed Jiang Wanqing inside.
The hotel was crowded with people, both acquaintances and strangers, who were happy to greet each other and become familiar with one another.
Jiang Wanqing found someone she knew and chatted with them for a few minutes. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiu followed her.
"Sister, can you introduce me to your friends? I'll introduce you to some people I know later too."
Jiang Wanqing's face fell, and she barely resisted the urge to splash the tea on her face.
"I don't need it, leave me alone!"
"Hey! How is this bothering you? We're the only two pregnant women here today, so we have to help each other out."
