All eyes turned to him.
Xi Mufan waved his hand, "It's alright, you two continue chatting."
Guan Wenru suddenly remembered that day in her office, when Che Xiaoni deliberately reminded her of Bai Yun and Xi Mufan's relationship...
Her gaze towards Xi Mufan became meaningful.
Unsurprisingly, the 'scumbag' that Che Xiaoni is chasing is Xi Mufan.
Baiyun didn't notice anything amiss with everyone. She angrily said, "For the past two months, Sister Xiaoni hasn't been willing to buy anything for herself. She's been saving money and tickets to buy things for others."
A few nights ago, I think I overheard Aunt Lü comforting Sister Xiaoni, who was crying uncontrollably. I have a feeling that Sister Xiaoni might have been deceived by that scoundrel.
"Ahem!" Xi Mufan couldn't help but clear his throat. "You didn't see it with your own eyes, how do you know that the man accepted what she gave him?"
Baiyun blinked. "That's true."
Guan Wenru and Guan Wanxin exchanged a glance, and they already guessed what had happened.
Guan Wenru quickly said, "Baiyun, don't interfere in Xiaoni's affairs, and don't ask any more questions."
"Sis, I know. Everyone has privacy. Don't worry, I won't ask unless she's willing to tell me."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Guan Wanxin invited everyone to eat first.
Xi Mufan and Bai Yun stayed there for more than four hours before returning to the production brigade.
...
A few more peaceful days passed.
That day, Guan Wenru, Chen Jianhui, Che Wang, Captain Li, Captain Zhang, Captain Wang and others gathered around a clearly separated sheepfold in the Dahewan Production Team of Su'nan Commune.
The sheep in the pen are plump and strong, with glossy coats!
Che Wang pointed at the sheep in the pen, his voice booming, "Director Chen! Deputy Director Wang! Factory Director Guan! Take a look! For the past month or so, we've been feeding these sheep the feed from Factory Director Guan's factory! They're so plump! Their coats are so shiny! They're at least ten pounds heavier than those sheep over there that just graze on dry grass! They feel so solid!"
Chen Jianhui bent down to examine the sheep closely, then weighed it in his hand, his face beaming with undisguised delight. "Wow! This weight! This energy, it's really something! Captain Che, you're not kidding us, are you? You really only fed it feed?"
Che Wang immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Heaven and earth bear witness! Director Chen! If I, Che Wang, have uttered a single lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
These twenty birds were kept separately and fed the feed pellets according to the amount instructed by Director Guan at every meal!
The other circle is still using the team's old methods! Look at the difference! Even a blind man could see it!
Captain Zhang squeezed forward, reached out and touched the sheep in the feed pen, then looked at the sheep in the pen next to it, smacked his lips, and spoke with a tone of regret and envy:
"My goodness! This is like heaven and earth! Old Che, with this sheep... this fat, how many more work points will you earn when you hand in your quota at the end of the year!"
Captain Wang also leaned closer for a comparison, his eyes wide with amazement. "Yes, yes! This coat color... this build... Director Guan, your feed... is amazing! Absolutely amazing! Old Li, come and take a look! With this... what risks are there to worry about!"
Captain Li's face turned pale and then flushed when he was called out. He barely managed to get close enough to the fence for a couple of glances, then snorted, but his confidence was clearly waning.
"Hmph...it's only been a little over a month...who knows if it's just a temporary relief, what if I keep taking it for a long time..."
“If you keep eating it, it will be very good!” Che Wang interrupted Captain Li. He squatted down, pried open the mouth of a sheep fed on feed to check its teeth, and then pressed hard on the sheep's ribs, explaining to everyone:
"Those teeth, that meat between the ribs! He's really gained weight! And look at his glossy coat, he's in good health! The feed that Director Guan made has really solved a big problem for our commune!"
Chen Jianhui straightened up, his face breaking into a wide smile. He suddenly patted Guan Wenru's shoulder forcefully, his voice loud and clear, full of praise and emotion:
"Excellent! Excellent! Director Guan! I, Chen Jianhui, am completely convinced today! I was totally convinced! I had some concerns before, and some people were gossiping... but seeing is believing! This feed is a gold nugget!"
The factory you set up has done a tremendous service! It has paved a real road to prosperity for our commune and our pastoral area… a road to ensuring production!
Facing the praise and attention of the crowd, Guan Wenru wore a calm and confident smile:
"Director Chen, you flatter me. The feed is effective because of the scientific formulation, the hard work of our factory workers day and night, and especially because Captain Che Wang trusts us and strictly follows the requirements for feeding. Seeing the effect, I feel at ease."
Che Wang immediately chimed in, "Director Guan, say no more! Our Dahewan production team is open to trade from today onwards! We'll take as much feed as you have! We'll trade our best sheep with the factory!"
Captain Zhang and Captain Wang also hurriedly gathered around:
"Director Guan! We from Zhangjiawan want some too! Our team will bring the sheep over tomorrow!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Wangjiawan too! Our team has also decided to buy your feed! We were too skeptical before... We're really sorry!"
Captain Li stood on the periphery of the crowd, looking at Guan Wenru, who was being fawned over, and Chen Jianhui and others who were beaming with joy, and then at the obviously robust sheep in the circle, his face turned extremely ugly.
Hearing what Captain Zhang and Captain Wang said, Guan Wenru's lips curled into a cold smile, her voice icy, "Captain Wang, Captain Zhang, and Captain Li... didn't I say in the commune office before, in front of Director Chen... that our factory's monthly output is limited?"
Captain Zhang and Captain Wang's faces stiffened, their smiles freezing.
Captain Li's face grew even darker.
Judging from their expressions, Guan Wenru knew they all remembered.
Her tone was flat, and she said, word by word, "Didn't I also say back then... that once the feed has proven effective in the outer communes, you might not have enough stock to buy it later? I even specifically reminded you not to blame the factory for not taking care of its own people. Now I can tell you clearly that the factory doesn't have any extra feed for your production brigade!"
Captain Li finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, his voice filled with suppressed anger and resentment, "Director Guan! This feed processing plant was supported and set up by our Su'nan Commune, right? It's our own commune's factory, isn't it?"
Guan Wenru sneered, "So what if it is?"
Captain Li sneered, "It's your own factory, producing good goods, and instead of prioritizing them for your own commune's production brigade, you're hauling them away by cartload to Hongqi Commune and Qianshan Commune! What kind of logic is that?! Is it possible to be so biased towards outsiders?!"
Captain Wang quickly chimed in, his tone tinged with grievance, "Yes, Director Guan! We're all from the same commune, this... this is just too much! The good stuff is going to outsiders!"
Captain Zhang nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Captain Li is right! Director Guan, you can't just look after the outside world and ignore our own people!"
