The garment factories are now a hot potato and are facing closure anyway.

After being acquired by Weiman Clothing, at least the workers' jobs can be saved.

Seeing that Lu Baiwei had no objection, Deputy Director Wang seemed to have found a glimmer of hope.

He took advantage of the victory and said, "Boss Lu, wait for my news. I will go back and report the situation of the clothing factory to the village committee and facilitate the acquisition as soon as possible."

As if afraid that Lu Baiwei would go back on her word, Deputy Director Wang immediately stood up and went back to report the situation when he saw that Lu Baiwei had no objection.

Just as he was about to leave the clothing store, he made one last effort to defend Director Zhou.

"Boss Lu, can you give me some definite information about Director Zhou's situation?"

Deputy Factory Director Wang sighed, "He is a jerk, and he does all kinds of stupid things, but if something really goes wrong, what will happen to his wife and children?"

In fact, strictly speaking, Director Zhou simply allowed his subordinates to tip off the gangsters.

As for participating in the robbery of military supplies, Comrade Li from the Military Region Logistics Department was brought there temporarily by Lu Baiwei, and even Director Zhou knew nothing about his and He Hua's identities.

His plan was to allow the thugs to rob Weiman's clothing batch, and then take the sugar factory work uniforms list into his own hands.

It would be far-fetched to say that he was involved in the robbery of military supplies.

It’s just that Director Zhou’s motives were a bit bad. He didn’t consider at all that they were partners, and he didn’t consider what consequences she would face if those hooligans became desperate.

Then why is Lu Baiwei being so polite?

We are well aware that even if He Hua and Comrade Li come forward, the final result will still be strictly in accordance with legal procedures.

Lu Baiwei said vaguely: "Deputy Director Wang, I still say the same thing. I have no say in the affairs of the relevant departments."

"But if the acquisition of the garment factory goes smoothly, considering that we were once partners with your factory, and Director Zhou's wife and children are pitiful, I will definitely not add insult to injury."

Lu Baiwei's reassuring words put Deputy Director Wang's mind at ease.

Thinking about how Director Zhou's stupid tricks almost ruined the factory, Deputy Director Wang suddenly felt that it would be a good idea for their garment factory to change owners. At least they would not face the situation of not being able to pay wages, and Boss Lu was also someone who could take responsibility.

He made up his mind that he would make sure that Weiman Clothing would acquire the clothing factory after he returned...

With her brother's support, Zhang Yulan was not so panicked. She did not return to Shichahai for the time being and settled down in her mother's house on Dongzhi Road.

Lu Yuanze just came back from an inspection in the south, and Zhang Yulan actually went back to her parents' home?

This made Minister Zhang's wife guess something.

"Yu Lan, did you and Lu Yuanze have a fight?"

During the meal, Minister Zhang’s wife couldn’t help but ask about what she was worried about.

Zhang Yulan denied it repeatedly: "Why would I quarrel with him? Sister-in-law, you think too much."

Zhang Yulan has a strong sense of self-esteem, and she tried her best to hide it: "Lu Yuanze is important, and my brother is also important. My brother just came back from an inspection in the south, and I came back to my mother's house to talk to him."

"Okay, okay, it's rare for Yu Lan to come back, so don't ask anymore."

Minister Zhang attaches great importance to the political marriage between the Zhang and Lu families.

In order to form an alliance with the Lu family for this political marriage, Zhang Yulan took advantage of Lu Yuanze's loss of a part of his memory to do this, and she got his consent.

The matter has been kept secret for so many years, but I didn't expect that the granddaughter-in-law of the He family is actually the mother of the woman from the past.

Minister Zhang knows very well that Lu Yuanze is an upright person.

If he knew what happened back then, he and Yu Lan would be finished.

Now Minister Zhang is helping his sister Zhang Yulan in order to preserve the marriage between the two families.

Things can't be delayed any longer.

After dinner, Minister Zhang made several phone calls and then called Zhang Yulan into the study.

"Yu Lan, the matter is resolved."

Minister Zhang told Zhang Yulan: "I used some means to deal with the gangsters detained in the military area, and now they have been taken over by the Public Security Bureau."

"I called my military contacts to warn them yesterday, but those thugs were sensible and didn't involve Han Xiaojun. They insisted that it was Su Guifen who ordered them to do this. The leader said that Dr. Su had saved his aunt."

"He learned that Lu Baiwei had offended Dr. Su, and he did this to avenge Dr. Su."

"When we get to the police station, they will say that it was Su Guifen who ordered them to do this. You and Han Xiaojun can completely clear yourself from this matter."

Minister Zhang said to Zhang Yulan, "Go back now and apologize to Lu Yuanze. Explain to him clearly that you are causing trouble for He's granddaughter-in-law because of Gu Chuanbai."

"As for Gu Chuanbai and Lu Baiwei, don't act rashly. You must listen to me this time."

Zhang Yulan was really caught off guard by Gu Chuanbai and Lu Baiwei.

Realizing that she was being plotted against, Zhang Yulan's mind was now filled with thoughts of strangling Lu Baiwei to death.

Thinking about how the village girl had seduced Lu Yuanze's heart, and now her daughter had appeared and messed up her life, putting the relationship between Lu Yuanze and her in jeopardy, Zhang Yulan really couldn't bear it for a moment.

"Brother, I can't swallow this."

"You have to swallow it even if you can't. You are too impulsive when encountering things. You need to calm down."

He sent Zhang Yulan away: "Go back and apologize to Lu Yuanze. As for dealing with Gu Chuanbai and He's granddaughter-in-law, you don't have to do anything."

"I have arranged for people to go to the countryside and bring her father to the capital..."

Zhang Yulan had been holding her breath, but when she heard that her brother had made arrangements, she finally felt relieved and she obediently returned to Shichahai.

"Yu Lan, why did you come back just now?"

Lu Yuanze called Han Xiaojun into the study for a long time, and Aunt Miao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

When she saw Zhang Yulan coming back, she felt like she had found her savior.

She leaned close to Zhang Yulan and whispered, "Yulan, Yuanze has called Xiaojun into the study for a long time. If you don't come back, Xiaojun doesn't know what to do."

"You know, he has always been afraid of Yuanze."

In fact, Zhang Yulan had already thought of a plan on the way back from her mother's home in Dongzhi Street.

But she didn't expect that Lu Yuanze would bring Han Xiaojun up for questioning.

According to Han Xiaojun, he was hiding in the dark in the suburbs of Beijing at that time and did not show up.

I hope he can stand up in front of Lu Yuanze and not say anything nonsense.

In the study, facing Lu Yuanze's stare, Han Xiaojun really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother-in-law, those thugs who were robbing people in the suburbs of Beijing really didn't mean to hurt anyone. They just wanted to scare Lu Baiwei and make her retreat."

"I told them clearly at the time not to hurt anyone."

Lu Yuanze said calmly: "Is it your sister Yu Lan's idea to scare her like this?"

"No, no, Yu Lan didn't ask me to do anything. I was just mad at her for treating Sister Yu Lan like that, so I wanted to vent my anger on her behalf."

Han Xiaojun knelt down in front of Lu Yuanze and slapped himself hard.

"Brother-in-law, I'm confused, I'm a bastard, I shouldn't do such a thing."
