"Sit down, my home is a bit... modest," Willow said apologetically. "Don't mind it."
Wu Changfeng waved his hand.
When I first transmigrated, my house was completely bare; even the rats would cry as they left.
Compared to Liutiao's house, Liutiao's house is much better.
At least the household appliances look like they're all newly replaced.
Wu Changfeng said casually, "The money I gave you is enough for you to renovate your new house, why did you save it all?"
Liu Tiao tossed her hair: "Sigh, I gave it all to my mom, but she complained that it wasn't properly acquired and kept it for my brother and brother's weddings."
Wu Changfeng shrugged, deciding not to meddle in other people's business.
"In other words..." Wu Changfeng considered his words briefly, "...the village, including your family, all misunderstand that your money is..."
Willow nodded: "I can't explain it to myself. Suddenly having such a large sum of money, everyone's saying I'm being kept by a sugar daddy."
"That's why she won't let me leave no matter what, she insists on marrying an honest man."
Wu Changfeng said with a smile, "The honest man didn't do anything wrong."
Willow Twig glared at him: "I didn't do anything wrong!"
“Yes, yes,” Wu Changfeng said, “The problem is that people are still unable to accept the source of their wealth.”
"Don't even mention you. Even when I go back to the village, people say I was arrested and just got out, and that I made my money through smuggling."
"I'm too lazy to explain, and it didn't cost them a single penny."
"To put it bluntly, it's because they can't stand seeing others doing well."
"Jealousy!"
The willow branch remained silent, offering no reply.
Wu Changfeng continued, "What are you thinking? You can't even get out? I'm planning to expand production here."
"I can't handle it all myself."
"Also, there are problems in Wenzhou, and it seems to be out of control."
"As the founder, you need to step in and teach Xiong Xuepeng a lesson."
Willow Twig raised its head, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wu Changfeng briefly explained: "The professional manager you trained got fired, and now a woman has come in. Everyone's unhappy and dissatisfied."
"The inner wall of the outer shell supplied was thinner, and they denied that it was not their fault, but continued to demand that we make payment."
Willow clenched her fist: "They've gotten too cocky!"
"Give me the phone number, I'll call and ask!"
Wu Changfeng patted his bag: "It's in the car. Wait, I'll go get it. Solving one problem at a time is one problem at a time."
Wu Changfeng turned around and walked out of the courtyard, went to the Mercedes-Benz, and opened the car door.
Wu Changfeng closed the car door, just as a woman passed by.
The woman stared intently at Wu Changfeng.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, Wu Changfeng asked, "Am I blocking the way?"
"No, no," the woman said, her heart aching. "I've never seen such a nice car before, it's really beautiful."
Wu Changfeng replied calmly, "I also think he's very handsome."
"Are you from out of town? Which relative are you? You're so lucky."
"I have no relatives here; I'm just looking for someone." Wu Changfeng stepped aside, saying, "You can go first."
The woman squinted: "Looking for someone? Willow branches?"
Wu Changfeng was taken aback: "How did you know? You are... Aunt Liu?"
"Hmph!" Aunt Liu put her hands on her hips: "So it was you, you scoundrel, who led my Liu Tiao down the wrong path! You've ruined her innocent reputation!"
Wu Changfeng straightened his posture and said earnestly, "Aunt Liu, may I ask where you heard these rumors about willow branches?"
Has she mentioned her profession?
Aunt Liu retorted with a face full of sophistry: "That's what everyone in the village says! How could it be false?"
"Everyone else says it's true, but Liutiao herself says it's all a lie." Wu Changfeng smiled wryly. "Is Liutiao family, or someone else's family?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Aunt Liu pointed at Wu Changfeng and cursed, "You're no good at all!"
"How could a woman possibly earn that much money!"
Wu Changfeng found it unbelievable: "Because that's all the money she's worth! Her salary should be based on her abilities, isn't that normal?"
"Is that normal?" Aunt Liu asked back.
This put Wu Changfeng in a difficult position.
This era is not one where you get paid according to your abilities.
The communal dining system is still in place, and the iron rice bowl hasn't been smashed.
Whether you do it or not, whether you do a lot or a little, it's all the same.
Everyone earns roughly the same salary; the difference is only a few dollars more.
Unlike willow branches, where the starting amount is always 100,000 yuan.
The origin of so much money is easy to explain, but the masses simply don't believe it.
If they don't stir up some drama, it's infuriating enough to make people jealous.
Wu Changfeng was somewhat speechless.
I'm unfamiliar with this place, and no one's there to help me show off.
They also cannot prove that they are conducting legitimate business.
There was a contract in the car, but it was written entirely in English. How could a woman possibly understand it?
Just then.
Liu Tiao came out and sensed something was wrong when she saw Wu Changfeng and Liu Ma in a standoff.
He rushed over and said, "Mom."
"I don't have a daughter like you!" Aunt Liu scolded, finding the situation extremely unpleasant. "Go back! I'm going to marry you off before the other villages know about your reputation."
"So you won't become a widow later!"
Liu Tiao rolled her eyes angrily, ignoring him, and asked Wu Changfeng for his phone number: "Give me your number first, I'll ask about things in Wenzhou. We'll talk about it later."
Willow took the phone, walked to the side, and started dialing.
Wu Changfeng and Aunt Liu stared at each other.
Wu Changfeng said, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
"He's definitely not a good person."
Wu Changfeng shrugged: "To tell you the truth, I'm doing legitimate business. I have my own factory, and Liutiao is my partner."
