Chapter 206 If You Have Money, Treat Us to Dinner
The next day, Li Yiming started arranging people to move things in the workshop early in the morning. Because these were important materials, they would wait until everything in the factory was put in place before moving them.
Wang Yong thought Li Yiming didn't know that he had reported to the Housing Management Department, so he pretended to ask:
"Yiming! This can't be done. I told you a long time ago not to get involved in the clothing business with Huang Ling. Just set up a small stall on Guanqian Street..."
"Bah!" Song Ying spat behind him.
"What are you doing! Are you trying to pick on me so early in the morning?" Wang Yong almost jumped up.
"You are the one who is looking for trouble with us! Which eye of yours saw that we couldn't do it?" Song Ying questioned.
"You are about to move things, it's impossible to do it." Wang Yong kicked the file cabinet with his foot.
"Uncle Wang, no! Business is so good that we need to add more sewing machines. This place is too small to accommodate them. Also, we estimate that we will have to work 30 days a month, which would be too noisy. We are afraid of disturbing our neighbors' rest, so we rented a large factory." Li Yiming replied.
Wang Yong was stunned when he heard this.
"Then your room...wouldn't it be empty?"
"It's not empty! We are planning to expand the store and use the back part as a warehouse. The housing market is so tight now, how can it be left empty? Definitely not." Li Yiming introduced.
"But...yesterday..."
"What happened yesterday?" Li Yiming asked knowingly.
"Didn't the people from the Housing Management Department come to take over Huang Ling's house yesterday? Her house is gone. Where are you going to live?" Wang Yong asked tentatively.
"I know, Uncle Wang. Aunt Huang knows." Li Yiming smiled at him meaningfully.
"Oh, so that's it!" Wang Yong replied embarrassedly and had nothing else to say.
He stepped over the messy items and prepared to leave when Li Yiming called him:
"Uncle Wang, don't forget to settle the phone bill with my grandfather. He's so worried he can't sleep. I say you're definitely not that kind of person. After all these years, how could our neighbors owe us a few dollars? You must have forgotten."
"Yiming! I'm not saying anything bad about you! What you received is much more valuable than others!" Wang Yong stopped.
"No, it's the market price. It's the same no matter where you go. Of course, if you go back to the office, it's definitely free. I just don't know if this falls under that category!" Li Yiming teased him.
Wang Yong got anxious when he heard this: "Look at you, big boss! You earn so much money, why are you so stingy and want these few dollars from me? We can just buy a few more bottles of soy sauce and a few packets of salt to cover the cost!"
"That would require dozens of bags." Li Yiming had no intention of letting him go.
"You're so generous! You're so generous! We've been neighbors for so many years, and none of the kids in this alley have ever eaten a single piece of candy from you. You're so generous! This is just a small amount of money, so why don't you give it to me? If you're deliberately refusing to pay and want to take advantage of Grandpa Li, just say so!"
Song Ying poked her head out of the workshop to answer.
"Song Ying, what's it got to do with you?"
"I just can't stand your behavior. If you have the guts, you can recruit one and let us fight for free. If you're happy for others to make money, then they should be generous to you. Then, when you get paid, treat the people in our alley to a meal! Hey, everyone, listen up, next month when your salary is paid, Wang Yong will treat us to a meal!"
A head popped out from the wall next door and said, "What a great opportunity! Count me in!"
"Really? Great!"
"Thank you, Wang Yong!"
Everyone responded and laughed at Wang Yong's joke.
"Get out of here! Are you causing any trouble? No!" Wang Yong waved to everyone hurriedly.
"If you don't pay Grandpa Li's phone bill, we'll come to your door with our bowls in hand and wait for food on payday. We're not afraid of people calling us beggars."
"I'm not afraid either." someone responded.
Wu Jianguo also said to Wang Yong as he passed by: "Just settle it, one thing at a time. Don't let Yiming lose money on the phone and cancel the call. I wonder where you'll go to make calls."
"That's right, don't bother everyone! It's so convenient now, let's get it over with!"
"That's right, I have to fight it every month! Wang Yong, if I can't fight it, I will make trouble for you."
The neighbors all expressed their agreement.
Wang Yong had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, it's just a few dollars! I'll settle it with the old man when I get home from get off work."
After saying that, he ran away in shame.
Song Ying packed up the things in the workshop and asked Li Yiming:
"What did your Aunt Huang say?"
"She just called this morning and told us to pack up first. She will go back to the cotton mill and come over later."
"Hahaha! I want to go to the Housing Management Department to watch the game!" Song Ying laughed.
"I think it's okay. Aunt Song, you go and help. I'll take care of the stuff. Brother Ma has borrowed a small truck and it will be here soon. We can move everything in one go."
"Okay, I'll go now."
She had originally taken a day off today to help pack up, but now she was so anxious that she rushed to the factory.
Huang Ling and Huailan went to class together. Huang Ling stopped in front of the factory office building.
"Huailan, find a place to hide later and don't show up. Don't come out even if they call you." Huang Ling first instructed Zhou Huailan who worked in the factory office.
"Okay, I know. I was going to the Industrial Bureau anyway. I'll go back to the office and get the documents and then leave." Zhou Huailan answered obediently.
"It's best if you're not here, go!"
"Sister-in-law, be careful!"
"There are quite a few."
Huang Ling waited until Huailan came out again before entering the factory office.
As soon as she entered the house, she greeted everyone in the room gracefully.
"Good morning, Director Xiao, and good morning, everyone."
Huang Ling is a prominent figure in the factory, and Director Xiao of the factory office has a very deep impression of her.
"Comrade Huang Ling, you are here. Welcome, welcome." Director Xiao said enthusiastically.
If he remembered correctly, Huang Ling's one-year unpaid leave had expired, and he thought she should be here to handle the paperwork.
"I mentioned you at the mobilization meeting the other day! I encouraged everyone to learn from you and make your private business flourish, which will be many times better than working in the factory!" Director Xiao began to be polite.
"I think it's better to skip studying." Huang Ling sneered.
Director Xiao's face changed. He felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Comrade Huang Ling, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, Director Xiao, there is something, and it's a big deal." Huang Ling nodded.
Director Xiao said hurriedly, "If you need any help from the factory, just tell us. We will do our best to help as long as we can."
"Okay, Director Xiao." Huang Ling nodded.
Director Xiao saw her calmly move a stool from the room to under the door frame, looked up at the height, nodded, and then took out a roll of cloth from her bag and shook it out.
Everyone in the room, including Director Xiao, stared at her blankly, not understanding what she was going to do.
