Gao Xiaolan's wrist was gripped painfully, and she frantically shook it off:
"I don't know what you're talking about. She has work to do, so she called me over."
Jiang Ning didn't believe a word she said and gave Lin Chen a look.
Upon receiving this, Lin Chen immediately grabbed her neck with his hand and said coldly:
"Since you came to the printing factory, no one knows where you are, right? If you still want to go back..."
Gao Xiaolan felt a chill run down her spine, threatened by Lin Chen's words.
If Lin Chen really went crazy and killed her, no one would know she came here.
The people at the textile factory didn't know, and their own families knew even less.
"I really didn't do anything to her, I just told her to go to the countryside to find you..." she quickly begged for mercy.
It turned out that Gao Xiaolan deliberately told others that Jiang Ning had suddenly gone through a miscarriage and was on the verge of death.
Upon hearing this, Song Jia disregarded everything else and rode her bicycle to Chayuan Village.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately slapped her across the face.
"This slap is punishment for cursing me! As for Song Jia's, you can go and ask for it yourself when she gets back, otherwise, you can forget about this job."
Gao Xiaolan's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
She was too eager for quick success and forgot that He Xiao was the factory director and had veto power over his internship results.
Back at the factory, she disregarded everything and knelt before Song Jia, begging her to show leniency and not to settle personal scores.
In front of so many people, even if Song Jia was stupid, she wouldn't say anything that would definitely make He Xiao trip her up, so they could only let her go for the time being.
While eating in the cafeteria, Xue Mei ran into her and asked her about the situation.
She sighed, "Sigh, I'm not as skilled as them. I just watched them sign a big deal."
Xue Mei's eyes darted around, and she offered her another suggestion:
"So what if we sign a big order? If we can't deliver, we're doomed. They're printing so many books, they must need a lot of paper, what if..."
Xue Mei's half-finished sentence successfully piqued Gao Xiaolan's interest.
She never said it outright, leaving Gao Xiaolan to guess and figure it out.
Of course, Gao Xiaolan did not disappoint her. She immediately followed her train of thought and came up with a brilliant solution to eliminate the root of the problem.
......
That night, Jiang Ning lay in bed talking to her baby.
After Lin Chen finished washing up, he blew out the light, got into bed, hugged her, and started talking to the baby.
"Babies, your mom is amazing! She speaks English like she speaks Chinese, and she has completely won over the foreigners."
Dad has signed another big deal, which will earn you a lot of money for milk powder.
Your mother is our family's lucky star.
As he spoke, he kissed Jiang Ning's cheek, his eyes filled with deep affection, and said:
"Wife, you are amazing. I am so lucky to have married such a treasure as you."
I'm going to enjoy the good life with my wife for the rest of my life. I feel even less worthy of you!
Jiang Ning playfully pouted and covered his mouth with her hand.
"Don't say such foolish things. We are husband and wife of one mind, and our strength can break even metal."
It was your keen judgment that allowed you to seize the opportunity to sell review materials, which gave me the chance to shine.
Actually, your books are either sold to the Shanghai market or to other places. Once a batch of books is distributed in the market, there will definitely be a huge response. I'm afraid that the current printing plant is too small to support your business expansion..."
Lin Chen has been considering this issue recently. In the month before the college entrance examination, the demand for materials will be unprecedented, but the printing factory workers have been working non-stop for more than a month. How long can they hold on?
Shenbo is already recruiting, but I don't know how many he has recruited.
Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that Wang Xiufen had mentioned that Yi Yong brought a girl to their house today, and that girl was looking for a job.
They also said that the girl was the daughter of Party Secretary Wang.
It's not right to refuse such a courtesy.
Lin Chen didn't take it seriously: "My mom said that this girl seems quite clever, but she doesn't know how to do chores. She messes up every little thing she's taught, so I wouldn't dare use her."
Jiang Ning also found it amusing: "Mom is the kindest person, she definitely wanted to help her, but unfortunately that girl is too stupid and just wouldn't listen."
Such things are probably inevitable in the future. Nowadays, everyone's thinking is more flexible. Unlike before, when people were like enemies of money, afraid of being told that their family was rich, and that being poor was a source of pride.
Now, seeing others living lavishly while we're eating meager rations, I've become resentful and need to find a way to earn money.
Lin Chen held her hand, unconsciously kneading it, and continued:
"If anyone comes to us in the future, we won't need to make excuses to turn them down. We'll just let them try. Anyway, there's a probationary period. If they don't pass, we won't hire them."
The two chatted idly until Jiang Ning gradually grew tired and fell asleep.
Lin Chen covered her with the blanket, ran his hand over her smooth, fair face, lifted her chin with his fingers, and kissed her lips.
It's so agonizing. He holds her delicate body in his arms every day, but for the sake of the baby, he can only look and not eat. He's almost getting sick from all the stress.
He resisted the urge to hug and kiss her, quickly got out of bed, and took a cold shower.
When I got back to bed, my vision was clear.
Jiang Ning snuggled closer to him, and the two embraced and slept soundly until dawn.
The next day, Lin Chen received a call from Shen Bo, who called the commune. Yi Yong had sent someone to inform him that he needed to urgently deliver goods to Shanghai.
After returning home, Lin Chen packed a few clothes and some dried meat, then said goodbye to his family.
Wang Xiufen was so reluctant to let him go, giving him countless instructions and warnings, afraid that something might happen to him while he was away.
Jiang Ning wanted to go with him, but Lin Chen persuaded her not to.
"It will take a whole day to get there, and we'll need to stay overnight. You're heavy and can't handle that kind of travel. Be good, wait for me at home."
He touched her face tenderly.
Jiang Ning then took out an iron hammer from the cabinet; the hammerhead weighed at least three pounds. He stuffed it into the man's bag and instructed him:
“If anyone dares to rob you, just use this to hit them. They are breaking the law anyway, so you don’t have to worry about being held responsible.”
In those days, long-distance transport was a life-or-death business, and some people even carried hunting rifles.
At this time, there were only provincial highways, and many places required passing through small roads through villages.
When passing through such places, or when going around bends, you need to be extra careful.
Those robbers might be desperate criminals released from prison; they really dare to open fire.
In short, timid and inexperienced people can't be drivers.
Lin Chen promised her that he would not hesitate to take action against bad people, and then rode his bicycle to the printing factory in the county town.
Shen Bo had already loaded a thousand books onto the truck and told him and the driver to set off quickly, hoping to reach Shanghai before midnight.
Lin Chen glanced at the truck bed, which only had one corner loaded, and immediately gave orders to the workers.
"Keep assembling until it's finished."
Shen Bo asked doubtfully, "What if sales are bad? Wouldn't we have to bring them back up?"
Lin Chen smiled confidently: "Once it's been taken out, there's no reason to take it back. Just wait for my good news."
