Chapter 280 The Mother-in-Law Arrives, Her Combat Power is Off the Charts!
Looking at the report, which was entirely in English and filled with various professional data and graphs, Liu Jianjun felt dizzy and couldn't understand a single word.
But he understood the last number circled in red.
Thirty percent!
His so-called "price higher than the market price" is an absurd conclusion drawn by comparing outdated domestic prices from several years ago with cutting-edge international products.
He's here today to retaliate, to cause trouble.
As a result, he ran headfirst into a brick wall, turning himself into the biggest joke in the entire factory.
His face turned from red to white, then from white to blue, and finally to a deathly gray.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, drop by drop.
He wanted to say something to save face, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Beixiao sneered and delivered the final blow.
“Deputy Director Liu, if you are not familiar with the situation overseas, my sister-in-law has a lot of newspapers sent from Hong Kong in her office. You can borrow them and study them carefully.”
"To avoid making a fool of ourselves in the future, with an amateur instructing an expert, and embarrassing the logistics department."
These words were like an invisible slap in the face, stinging Liu Jianjun's cheek.
He couldn't stay any longer, and with two equally dejected staff members, he practically fled the pharmaceutical equipment factory amidst the onlookers' eager anticipation.
Just as Liu Jianjun's figure disappeared through the door, the red telephone in Su Yue's office rang urgently.
It's an encrypted line transferred from the Beijing switchboard.
The operator's voice carried an unusual urgency.
"Comrade Su Yue, Comrade Qin Zheng just replied! The message contained only two words—'Received'!"
"Furthermore, there is another emergency! He himself is on the fastest military transport plane, flying directly to Hainan Island!"
Qin Zheng is coming to Hainan Island.
Moreover, they took the fastest military transport plane directly to Hainan Island.
The news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, surprising both Su Yue and Gu Beichen.
Why is he in such a hurry?
Is he here to explain his contact with that overseas Chinese, or to lay his cards on the table?
Su Yue put down the phone, a premonition of an impending "trap" welling up in her heart.
Before she could think it through, the man beside her suddenly felt his body temperature drop.
Gu Beichen didn't say a word, but simply stretched out his long arm, lifted her up from the chair, and forced her step by step into the corner.
His tall figure completely enveloped her, casting a very oppressive shadow.
"It's okay to see him."
The man's chest pressed against her back, his hot breath spraying against her ear.
"But I must be there."
Just as Su Yue was about to say that she could handle it, the man turned her face towards him, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"I don't like the way that guy surnamed Qin looks at you."
He said those words almost touching her lips, each one carrying an undeniable possessiveness.
Su Yue's heart skipped a beat.
This man's jealousy was completely unreasonable, yet it also stirred a sweet feeling in her heart.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed his taut chin.
"Okay, whatever you say."
A few days later, at Qiongzhou Airport.
A military special plane landed smoothly.
The entire Gu family was present, including Gu Beixiao's parents, Gu Beixiao himself, Chu Jingya, Su Yue, and Gu Beichen, all waiting on the helipad.
The cabin door opened, and a sprightly Zhang Huilan, carrying a briefcase, was the first to step out.
Behind her, staff members were carefully moving several large wooden crates labeled "precision instruments".
Inside were half of the laboratory's research materials and core equipment that she had brought.
"mom!"
Gu Beichen strode forward and took the bag from his mother's hand.
Zhang Huilan didn't look at him, but walked straight to Su Yue, grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, and smiled broadly.
"Yueyue, Mom has finally settled back in Beijing these past few days! From now on, everything in the lab will be under your command. This old body of mine will just lend a hand!"
The voice was quite loud, and the other military leaders and their families who came to greet them heard it clearly.
A national-level expert from Beijing was actually willing to be his daughter-in-law's assistant?
The gazes of everyone looking at Su Yue were instantly filled with envy and amazement.
Just who is this Su Yue? Not only does she have the Gu family's two sons completely under her thumb, but even her mother-in-law is so on her side!
Zhang Huilan's job reassignment spread like wildfire throughout the entire military compound.
Naturally, there were also plenty of sarcastic remarks.
Under the banyan tree in the compound, several military wives were gathered together to cool off. Among them, the loudest voice belonged to Mrs. Liu, who had been repeatedly humiliated before.
"Oh my, have you heard? Grandma Gu is here. She says she's a top expert from the capital!"
"Experts? What kind of experts would give up a good life in Beijing and come to this godforsaken place? I heard from my relatives that they've probably committed some serious offense at work and been 'exiled' here!"
"That's right, that's right. I think it's because Su Yue is so vain. In order to save face, she insisted on bringing her mother-in-law, who made a mistake, to decorate the facade!"
The group was talking animatedly, completely unaware that a figure had already appeared behind them.
"Ladies, what are you chatting about? It's so lively!"
Zhang Huilan walked over with a smile, carrying a basin of freshly washed lychees.
She enthusiastically distributed the bright red lychees to everyone, and each person grabbed a large handful. However, when it came to Aunt Liu, she simply walked around her, as if she didn't even see her.
Aunt Liu was immediately embarrassed.
Zhang Huilan acted as if nothing had happened, slowly sitting down on the stone bench next to her and peeling a lychee herself.
"I'm just an old man with no great knowledge. I'm just getting old and miss my grandchildren, so I came here to help my genius daughter-in-law. It breaks my heart to see her running such a big pharmaceutical and medical equipment factory all by herself."
She glanced meaningfully at Aunt Liu.
"Unlike some people, who have never amounted to much in their lives, they can't stand seeing others doing well and spend their days gossiping about everyone else."
These words made Liu Sao so angry that her face turned a deep purplish-red.
"You! What are you so smug about!" Aunt Liu suddenly stood up and shouted in a shrill voice, "Everyone knows you were kicked out of the research institute! Do you think we're all fools!"
"Oh? Rushed out?"
Zhang Huilan smiled instead of getting angry.
She calmly took a neatly folded letter out of her coat pocket.
Under the curious gaze of the crowd, she unfolded the letter in front of everyone.
The letter paper was the official stationery of the National Institute of Biology, with strong and vigorous handwriting. The signature "Zhou Weixian" and the bright red seal at the end were impossible to fake.
