Chapter 75 Is this their confidence?
Lin Wenkang's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. He approached Jiang Yulan and asked in a questioning tone, "What do you mean by this?"
"Is the literal meaning difficult to understand?" Jiang Yulan was not afraid of him and looked up at him.
"Yulan, you really went too far this time. My mother finally agreed to our relationship. When I bring her out, you should apologize to her." Lin Wenkang said to himself, then turned and left for the police station. No matter what, he had to bring the person out first.
After Lin Wenkang left, Qiu Shaoli finally found the opportunity to ask, "Yulan, what's going on?"
"Today, her mother somehow found out that I was working here and came over. She pulled me and cried, knelt down in front of me, and said a bunch of incomprehensible things. I asked someone to report her to the police, but they said they didn't know her and that she might have been sent by another factory to cause trouble, so she was taken away." Jiang Yulan said it lightly, but Qiu Shaoli could imagine the hardships involved.
She couldn't help but curse, "This old bastard is capable of anything."
"Yeah, I didn't expect her to make it this far." Jiang Yulan was genuinely surprised. After all, the more inferior a person is, the more they care about face. Lin Wenkang's mother, Kang Xiaoping, used to value her face more than her life. How could she have become like this? Jiang Yulan was truly puzzled.
"I came here today just to talk to you about this. Let's find a place to eat first." Qiu Shaoli said gently.
"Okay." Jiang Yulan quickly figured out the key. Since Kang Xiaoping knew that she was working here now, then the mother and son must also know her identity as a shareholder, so Kang Xiaoping was tempted.
"After Lin Wenkang's wife passed away, his father-in-law's family was no longer willing to allocate resources to him, so he started to think of other things. By then, the news that Old Lu would be transferred back to Yuncheng was already a foregone conclusion, and he also knew about your divorce." Qiu Shaoli didn't continue with the rest of the words. She believed that she would understand.
"He hasn't changed at all. All he cares about is profit," Jiang Yulan thought. No wonder he suddenly appeared. It turned out he was trying to use her and her mother to gain access to the Lu family. Later, after being threatened by her, he tried to mend fences and searched for new candidates. It wasn't until she learned of her shareholder in Tongqu Players and Lili's abilities that he sent Kang Xiaoping. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer. She wondered what was going on with the mother and son's brains. Did they think everyone had to be them?
"Yes, or we have never understood him." At the beginning, Qiu Shaoli's impression of Lin Wenkang came more from the Lu family, but now she realized that perhaps they never really understood him.
"Don't worry, I won't be fooled by him." Jiang Yulan gave her a grateful look.
Qiu Shaoli shook her head: "I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried that they will do something more extreme, so you have to be careful."
Thinking of the scene of Kang Xiaoping coming to see her today, Jiang Yulan nodded seriously: "I will."

Both mother and son thought that Jiang Yulan was concerned about Kang Xiaoping, the villain back then, so Kang Xiaoping went to Tongqu Player to find Jiang Yulan, but they didn't expect that she would directly let the police station take her away.
This was the most embarrassing moment in Kang Xiaoping's life. She looked at Lin Wenkang beside her and said, "I think Jiang Yulan is a stubborn woman. I think your plan will fail."
"A virtuous woman is not afraid of a man's pestering. Why rush? Besides, we were engaged before." Lin Wenkang looked unhurried. Jiang Yulan was the best candidate for him now. He had always been obsessed with her. She had things in her hands and her relationship with the Lu family. Most importantly, Jiang Lili, she was less than seventeen years old, and she could help her get these things. Her future was immeasurable.
"But I think that factory is just so-so. Can it really make money?" Kang Xiaoping asked with doubt in her tone. She has been living in Jincheng for a long time over the years and her horizons have broadened a lot.
"What do you know? Just do as I say. Have I made any wrong decisions over the years?" Lin Wenkang's tone was a little impatient.
Kang Xiaoping thought about it and it seemed to be true. Wen Kang had been very successful over the years. Although he had the help of Huang Qiuyu's family in the early stage, he had to rely on Wen Kang himself later on.
Lin Wenkang was a little annoyed. Jiang Yulan's actions this time were beyond his imagination. In his impression, she was always gentle and kind. He didn't expect her to send his mother to the police station this time. It had been almost half a year since Yuncheng, and there was still no progress on Jiang Yulan's side. He had to think of a solution.
Jiang Yulan and Qiu Shaoli had lunch outside before going back. Because they had called in advance, their families were not worried. Only Jiang Lili looked worried. She always felt that Lin Wenkang was like a time bomb.
Jiang Lili rarely behaved like this, so Lu Jiaze could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her. On the way to school that afternoon, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there another problem at the factory?"
"What?" Jiang Lili was a little confused.
"I was wondering if the reason you look so worried is because there's another problem at the factory?" Lu Jiaze repeated his previous question.
"No, Sister Cheng has already gone to Jincheng to deal with the problem." It was at this time that Jiang Lili suddenly remembered that Lin Wenkang had only been in Yuncheng for an exchange for one year. Now that half of the time has passed, she might be able to start from here.
Seeing her suddenly alert, Lu Jiaze was puzzled but also knew she wasn't telling the truth. It would be rude to ask any further. When they arrived at school, they entered the classroom almost at the bell. As soon as Jiang Lili sat down, her deskmate Zuo Xingwei came over and asked, "Deskmate, do you and Lu Jiaze live together?"
"We all live in the cotton mill's staff quarters," Jiang Lili explained.
"I thought he lived in the government compound." Zuo Xingwei whispered.
"Class is about to start, and you haven't even taken your books yet." Jiang Lili couldn't help but remind her, but in her heart she once again lamented the completely different personalities between her new deskmate and Ke Sisi. In the past, she was the one who reminded her to take her books, but now she has to remind others.
"Oh." Zuo Xingwei quickly lowered his head and took out the books he would need for class from the desk frame.
School had just started, and everyone was obviously not fully focused yet. Even Jiang Lili was thinking about Cheng Yuntian and Manager Zhang, and she didn't know how the conversation between the two was going.
The holiday syndrome lasted for several classes before everyone slowly recovered. The new deskmate Zuo Xingwei started taking notes and even borrowed Jiang Lili's notebook to review after class. Jiang Lili couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at his hard work. It was good that he was willing to work hard. Otherwise, if his grades didn't improve in the first monthly exam, she would be embarrassed.

In Jincheng, because they were partners, Cheng Yuntian quickly met Manager Zhang. He could tell he was in a good mood, so Cheng Yuntian smiled as well. "Manager Zhang, how's business going lately? We have a new product coming out, are you interested?"
"New product? Did you bring it over? Let me see it." Manager Zhang's tone was full of anticipation. The teether sold well in Quan City this time, and he wondered how the new product would perform. Thinking of the previous cross-dressing dolls and the current teether, he felt that the new product should be good.
"Of course, but before that, I want to talk to Manager Zhang about something else." Cheng Yuntian spoke slowly.
It was also at this time that Manager Zhang suddenly realized something. On weekdays, the person he dealt with was Jiang Yulan, but today it was Cheng Yuntian, so what happened in between?
"Boss Cheng, you say." Manager Zhang couldn't help but wonder, did she want to take back the exclusive operating rights?
"Are you familiar with Manager Zhang of the Linsong Toy Factory in Quan City?" Cheng Yuntian asked softly.
Manager Zhang was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Cheng Yuntian to ask him this question. For a moment, his silence and surprise made him lose face. Cheng Yuntian smiled and said, "Then it seems that the information we looked up is correct. He is your eldest brother, right?"
Having said that, Manager Zhang still had something to understand. He didn't bother beating around the bush and looked directly at Cheng Yuntian: "Boss Cheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Manager Zhang has worked in the department store for so many years, so I think he should be familiar with copyright. My request is actually very simple. We can directly authorize the production of Linsong Toy Factory, but we need to pay a certain fee." Cheng Yuntian put forward his request.
"Boss Cheng, I think you are being too picky. Even if I hadn't done this, someone else would have done it. Look, there are so many versions of that cross-dressing doll now. What's more, Quan City is so far away from here that it won't take away your market." Manager Zhang felt that he was being kind by not taking away their market.
"In that case, I guess there's no need for us to continue discussing this. As for the exclusive operating rights, they can be revoked since you were the one who breached the contract first." Cheng Yuntian had already inquired before coming here. In the department store, Manager Zhang's power was only reflected in the selection of products. His superiors were aware of major matters like exclusive operating rights, which meant that unilateral cancellation by his side would alarm his superiors.
"Boss Cheng, what you are doing is no different from burning your bridge. The reason your factory's products can occupy the market in Jincheng is because of me." Manager Zhang said with a hint of anger in his tone.
"I'm very grateful to Manager Zhang for this, but that doesn't mean we have to accept the toy factory in Quan City. Manager Zhang, please consider this carefully." Cheng Yuntian said this and left the office. She knew that asking them to pay a certain fee would be difficult, but as Lili had said before, they cared less about the money and more about the attitude. The quality of the teethers in Quan City was comparable to theirs, and Manager Zhang understood the importance of quality control. Therefore, authorization was a win-win situation. Now it depended on whether they were willing to make a small concession.
Looking at Cheng Yuntian's back as he left, Manager Zhang felt furious. If he hadn't expanded the market for Tongqu players, how would she have the qualifications to negotiate with him now? And how did they find out about Quan City, which is so far away? At this time, someone knocked on the office door to remind him: "Manager Zhang, the meeting is about to start."
"I'll be right there." Manager Zhang quickly suppressed his thoughts and followed everyone to the meeting.
At the meeting, the leader mentioned the department store in Rongcheng and praised him for being the first to propose signing an exclusive operating rights with Tongqu Players. It was heard that Rongcheng had already started preparing new products, and they had to keep up.
Manager Zhang replied "yes" and then he lowered his eyes to look at his clenched fists. So this is their confidence?
