"I haven't seen either of them doing anything else to make money, so how come they're suddenly so wealthy? Maybe they're undermining the cement factory!"
After Yang Hongying finished speaking, she pulled Yang Qiaoqiao aside and lowered her voice even further, "Qiaoqiao, you asked me about the two of them. Has the cement factory already discovered that they're having an affair?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but look at Yang Hongying with new respect; she was truly quite vigilant.
Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and made up an excuse: "Nothing like that. I just went to the cement factory to order cement today and thought their attitude was pretty good, so I just asked them casually when I got back."
Yang Hongying did not doubt Yang Qiaoqiao's words.
Thinking about how she had just made wild guesses about what others had said, she smiled awkwardly. "They are both long-time employees of the cement factory. They are able to work in important positions, so they must be conscientious and responsible in their work."
After she finished speaking, she explained again, "Qiaoqiao, what I said about them just now was just wild speculation and nonsense. I didn't mean anything by it, so please don't mind."
Yang Qiaoqiao is, after all, her boss.
Leaving the boss with the impression that she likes to gossip about others is not a good thing.
"It's alright. Everyone talks about others behind their backs, and everyone gets talked about behind their backs. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand and won't take it to heart."
Yang Hongying felt a little relieved after hearing Yang Qiaoqiao's words and quickly left.
That evening, Yang Qiaoqiao told Huo Beixiao about what had happened at the cement factory that day.
Huo Beixiao didn't hide anything from her, "Qiaoqiao, I know about this. The person who bought the cement is from the Jiang family, and if I'm not mistaken, the person who found Chen Liang and Dai Hu and tricked them into doing this should be Jiang Yongxian."
Yang Qiaoqiao was somewhat surprised, "You already knew, why..."
"The amount is not enough." Before Yang Qiaoqiao could finish speaking, Huo Beixiao uttered four words.
Yang Qiaoqiao immediately understood.
On the other side, Yang Hongying and her husband were also having a late-night conversation.
"Old He, you're saying Wu Zhaodi and You Dongyun suddenly started spending money so lavishly? It's really not because their men made money by ripping off the cement factory? I don't believe it..."
He Jianping also worked in the cement factory's workshop. It was a physically demanding job, and after a long day, his head would hit the pillow and he couldn't keep his eyes open.
Hearing Yang Hongying's words, he mumbled in a daze, "Why should I care where other people's money comes from? They won't give you a single penny."

The next day, Yang Qiaoqiao went to the cement factory with Huo Beixiao.
Huo Beixiao took her directly to get the invoices, saying, "Chen Liang, get an invoice for fifty tons."
Chen Liang looked up and saw Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao.
The cement factory doesn't have many holidays, and the cement factory's residential compound is large. Although Yang Qiaoqiao has been married to him for almost a year, he has heard a lot of gossip about Yang Qiaoqiao from the people in the compound and his wife.
This was the first time I had ever been able to get so close to Yang Qiaoqiao.
The last time was when Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao held their wedding banquet. At that time, he was busy eating at the banquet and only caught a glimpse of Yang Qiaoqiao from afar.
Unexpectedly, Huo Beixiao's wife is not only capable and good at making money, but also more beautiful than rumored.
Chen Liang quickly picked up the form and started writing the invoice, then respectfully handed it to Yang Qiaoqiao. "Sister-in-law, I heard you're going to build another garment factory. Is this cement for building the garment factory?"
Yang Qiaoqiao maintained a polite smile and replied, "Yes, thank you."
Chen Liang felt that the voice was extremely familiar, and he was slightly taken aback.
A moment later, he suddenly remembered that the voice that came to him yesterday to get the invoice for fifty tons of goods was exactly the same as this voice!
Yesterday, he seemed to be listening to a song on the radio, and he was really into it.
So he didn't even open his eyes, let alone give the person who spoke a ticket.
Later, Xiao Kai came to him to get the invoice, and he didn't even notice whether Yang Qiaoqiao had left or not.
Chen Liang tried hard to recall, but he had no recollection of whether Yang Qiaoqiao had left or not.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and cold sweat poured down his back.
But he still held onto a sliver of hope. He hadn't opened his eyes to look at anyone yesterday. What if that person just had a voice that sounded like Yang Qiaoqiao?
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you come here yesterday?"
Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Yes, I came here yesterday, but you were busy and didn't have time to issue me a ticket. I also had other things to do, so I didn't wait."
Chen Liang could barely conceal his panic, and he apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
"It's alright," Yang Qiaoqiao said magnanimously. "Work is work, and treating everyone equally is the right thing to do. Even if I'm here to buy cement, I should still queue up according to your production schedule, shouldn't I?"
Upon hearing Yang Qiaoqiao's words, Chen Liang's panic subsided somewhat.
Because Xiao Kai arrived in the afternoon yesterday.
Generally speaking, when a cement plant releases its production plan each morning, the invoices for that day are also issued.
Only at that time did people need to queue up to get a receipt when buying cement.
By the afternoon, there were no more production plans available, and most people would simply be told there were none.
Yang Qiaoqiao said she had been in line, so she came yesterday morning?
The woman who came to issue the invoice before Xiao Kai arrived was not her.
Thinking of this, Chen Liang felt a little relieved.
He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law is right. But there are always exceptions."
"Sister-in-law, if you need cement again next time, just come to me and I'll issue you a receipt. No need to queue."
"The main problem is that our factory has a limited daily production plan. If you wait in line, by the time it's your turn, there may be no more production available."
Yang Qiaoqiao nodded to Chen Liang and thanked him politely before entering the factory with Huo Beixiao.
Chen Liang watched their backs disappear into the distance before wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, Yang Qiaoqiao came in the morning yesterday. If she had come in the afternoon and happened to run into Xiao Kai, the couple, being shrewd, would definitely have become suspicious.
When the investigation comes later, he will not only have to return all the money he has made during this period, but he will also have to go to jail, and it may even affect his son's college entrance examination.
His two sons are now in high school.
As long as his sons get into university, his family will be able to hold their heads high and bring honor to their ancestors. He can't afford to make a mistake at this crucial moment.
"Bei Xiao, do you think they'll back down?"
After walking a distance into the factory, Yang Qiaoqiao asked Huo Beixiao.
The things she said just now were deliberately told to be said by Huo Beixiao.
The purpose was to put Chen Liang in a bad light.
It remains to be seen whether Chen Liang can grasp this and then restrain himself.
