“I should go to work too,” Zhao Nianmeng stopped her bicycle and waved to Jiang Sheng. “You should go home soon too. I might be back late tonight, so you and Xuehui don’t need to wait for me.”
Jiang Sheng nodded, and just as Zhao Nianmeng was about to turn and leave, he remembered that he still had the written state-owned enterprise reform plan in his arms.
"Big sister, wait for me!"
Jiang Sheng quickly called out to Zhao Nianmeng and pushed his bicycle to chase after her.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Zhao Nianmeng stopped and turned to look at Jiang Sheng.
"nothing."
Looking around at the crowd of people coming and going, all of whom were factory workers, Jiang Sheng seemed to be thinking about something, but ultimately didn't take out the business plan.
"Sister, could you call home before you leave work tonight?"
Seeing that his younger brother seemed hesitant to speak, he suddenly made this request.
Zhao Nianmeng's intuition told her that Jiang Sheng definitely had something to say to her, but he didn't say it because there were many people around.
She thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why would I call home?"
Jiang Sheng didn't mince words and quickly replied.
"Because I want to pick you up in person, there's something I want to tell you, my older sister."
Seeing Jiang Sheng's solemn expression, Zhao Nianmeng thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"No problem. I'll call home ten minutes beforehand. If there's anything, I'll let you know after I get off work."
Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when his older sister agreed.
Just as he was about to say something more, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"Director Zhao, you've arrived!"
After hearing that clear male voice, Jiang Sheng and Zhao Nianmeng both instinctively looked towards the distance.
A man on a bicycle was seen riding towards them from about ten meters away from the factory gate.
When he reached the two men, the man stopped the car and got out.
"Director Zhao, I didn't sleep a wink last night. I kept thinking about some plans for the factory. I've figured some things out. Is it convenient for you now?"
The man didn't glance at Jiang Sheng once from beginning to end. He just smiled and looked in Zhao Nianmeng's direction with a warm smile that made people feel no discomfort whatsoever.
Jiang Sheng glanced at the man and found that he was tall and thin, with a sunny smile on his face, and looked to be around twenty-four years old.
However, Jiang Sheng didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the man in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where he had seen this person before.
He frowned, then saw that Zhao Nianmeng's eyes lit up slightly after hearing what the other person said.
But he didn't answer the man's question immediately. Instead, he turned around and gave Jiang Sheng an apologetic look.
"Xiaosheng, there's just too much work to do. Why don't you go home first, and we can talk again tonight?"
Jiang Sheng could only nod understandingly: "It's okay, sister. You go ahead with your work. I'll head back now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man seemed to have just noticed Jiang Sheng and turned his gaze to Jiang Sheng.
However, his gaze carried a hint of hostility, as if he regarded Jiang Sheng as an enemy.
"Excuse me for asking," the man suddenly spoke, smiling at Jiang Sheng, but addressing Zhao Nianmeng, "May I ask who this is...?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Nianmeng introduced Jiang Sheng to the other party.
"This is my younger brother. He came to take me to work today."
Upon learning that he was merely Zhao Nianmeng's younger brother, the man's hostility subsided, replaced by a warm smile.
“So you’re Director Zhao’s younger brother,” he said, extending his right hand to Jiang Sheng. “Hello, I’m Lin Jiafu, the captain of the first production team at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.”
Lin Jiafu!
Jiang Sheng's mind went blank for a moment, as if fireworks were going off, and he froze on the spot.
This name, which he remembered his entire life, was the source of all his elder sister's suffering in his past life.
He will never forget those three words!
He knew very well that the person who caused the massive loss of state-owned assets from his elder sister's factory in his previous life was Lin Jiafu!
But when he went to find Lin Jiafu later, Lin Jiafu had already gained weight and his figure had changed.
That's why when he saw the tall, thin man in front of him today, he couldn't recognize him at first, only feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
No wonder he looked familiar!
Jiang Sheng concealed the hatred in his heart and extended his right hand to shake hands with the other person.
To penetrate the enemy's defenses, you must first become friends with them.
Jiang Sheng remained expressionless, and even gave Lin Jiafu a slight smile.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Jiang Sheng."
As their eyes met, Lin Jiafu looked at the kind smile on the young man's face, but somehow something about it felt off.
Just as he frowned slightly, Jiang Sheng released the other person's hand and smiled slightly at Zhao Nianmeng.
"Big sister, I'll head back now. You should go to work."
After saying goodbye to Zhao Nianmeng, Jiang Sheng pushed the cart forward while subconsciously touching his chest, where he found the state-owned enterprise restructuring plan in the inner pocket of his clothes.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of relief; thankfully, he hadn't taken out the proposal earlier.
Otherwise, Lin Jiafu might have secretly caused some trouble after his older sister just saw the proposal.
Lin Jiafu is now slowly getting closer to his eldest sister, and the factory matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Jiang Sheng got on his bicycle and rode forward, thinking about this matter, completely unaware that he was almost home.
It was Zhao Defu, who was waiting at Jiang Sheng's door, who saw Jiang Sheng riding his bicycle past him and quickly called out to him.
"Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng, where are you going!"
Hearing someone call his name, Jiang Sheng finally snapped out of his daze and glanced around.
Only then did he realize that he had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't even noticed he had arrived home, and had almost walked past it.
After riding his bicycle home, Jiang Sheng got off and glanced at Zhao Defu beside him.
Why did you come to see me so early?
Zhao Defu followed Jiang Sheng into the house, and as he casually sat down on the sofa, he said, "I was thinking of going to set up a stall with you, but I waited for you for so long and you still didn't come back."
Zhao Defu took the water glass from Jiang Sheng and drank it all.
