He Yuhan prepared a lavish lunch, as she was representing her parents and the He family to entertain Liu Jingzhi and her daughter, naturally wanting them to see how much the He family valued them.
Liu Jingzhi was also surprised to see the food on the table. In this day and age, being able to prepare such a large meal was enough to show how much the He family valued their daughter.
Liu Jingzhi said politely, "Yuhan, we're all family here. You've prepared such a big feast; it's too much of a waste."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "My parents aren't here, so they can't entertain you in person. They entrusted me to take good care of you. These are just some home-style dishes, nothing complicated."
Wen Jinyu also said, "Yes, my dear sister, please don't be so polite. It's only right."
In Liu Jingzhi's eyes, Wen Jinyu, Han Yixian, and Gu Qishen were all important figures. They all accompanied her and her daughter to receive them, which made Liu Jingzhi realize that the He family had a deep relationship with the Han and Gu families.
Moreover, during the meal, Liu Jingzhi also discovered He Yuhan's status in the Han family; her mother-in-law and husband treated her very well.
Indeed, what man wouldn't like someone as beautiful and charming as He Yuhan? Liu Jingzhi was glad that her daughter could become friends with He Yuhan, which led to their later happy marriage.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. Afterwards, those who needed to go to work went to work, while Liu Jingzhi and Yan Qingya stayed behind to chat with Wen Jinyu and He Yuhan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After finishing lunch, Han Yixian left home and rode his bicycle into the pharmaceutical factory gate. Just as he was about to turn towards the office, a person suddenly ran out and crashed into Han Yixian's bicycle, falling to the ground before he could avoid it.
Han Yixian stopped his bicycle in time and avoided hitting anyone. Seeing that a young woman had fallen to the ground, he stopped his bicycle but didn't rush to help her up. Instead, he asked, "Are you alright?"
Chen Shulan sat on the ground, looked at her scraped arm, touched her ankle, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, it was my own carelessness."
As she spoke, Chen Shulan tried to stand up, but she cried out and sat back down on the ground.
Then she looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and said pitifully, "I think I twisted my ankle, Director Han. My name is Chen Shulan, and I work in the finance department of our factory. Could you please help me? Could you take me to the infirmary?"
The pharmaceutical factory has its own medical clinic, which can treat minor injuries and illnesses.
Chen Shulan is only eighteen years old this year, the prime of her youth, and she is indeed very beautiful. Chen Shulan also thinks she is very beautiful. In any case, she has never seen a girl more beautiful than herself.
She was also a girl from a big city, and this time she came to Qianyuan County under the guise of supporting construction, but she had a mission. Her family sent her here to win Han Yixian's heart, and ideally, to marry him. Even if she couldn't marry Han Yixian, she would still try to break up Han Yixian and his wife.
Chen Shulan was initially extremely unwilling. She was also a very proud person, and with her beauty and ability, she was naturally unwilling to marry a married man.
However, ever since she met Han Yixian, she had been captivated by his handsome appearance and noble demeanor. After learning about Han Yixian's family background, she became even more determined to have him, feeling that only a man like Han Yixian was worthy of her. Therefore, she agreed to come to Qianyuan County and work at the pharmaceutical factory.
Today, she seized the opportunity to get to know Han Yixian and establish a relationship so that they could gradually become familiar with each other at work.
She assumed that with her beauty, Han Yixian would surely cherish her. However, she had never met He Yuhan and had no idea that He Yuhan was also a great beauty, even more beautiful than herself. Moreover, Han Yixian wouldn't even glance at any other woman besides He Yuhan. Therefore, Chen Shulan's beauty had absolutely no effect on Han Yixian.
Furthermore, Han Yixian adhered to the principle of keeping a distance of more than one meter from any woman other than his family, so he would never take the initiative to help Chen Shulan.
Besides, he didn't bump into anyone; the other person just suddenly ran out and fell down, so it wasn't his responsibility. Han Yixian reserved all his gentleness and tenderness for He Yuhan, and he wouldn't spare a single bit for any other unrelated woman.
Han Yixian listened to Chen Shulan's words and said, "I have urgent work to do and don't have time to take you to the infirmary. But I will call someone to help you. Please wait here for a while."
As he spoke, Han Yixian rode his bicycle to the factory office to find someone to take Chen Shulan to the infirmary.
Chen Shulan was furious to see that Han Yixian showed no mercy and simply left her there.
Her foot was perfectly fine; she was just putting on an act for Han Yixian. She didn't need anyone's help; what she needed was to use this opportunity to get to know and get close to Han Yixian. Unexpectedly, Han Yixian was such a blockhead that he didn't see her beauty at all.
Chen Shulan knew that her first attempt to get close to Han Yixian had failed. Frustrated, she slammed her fist on the ground, hurting her hand in the process, and winced in pain. However, she didn't stand up but waited for someone to help her to the infirmary; otherwise, if Han Yixian found out, he might suspect she was faking it.
Han Yixian went to the office and found Liu Zhihui, the director of the factory office. "Director Liu, a female comrade fell near the factory gate. It seems that she twisted her ankle. Could you find two people to take her to the infirmary for a check-up?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhihui said, "No problem, I'll find two female comrades to go over right away."
After making the arrangements, Han Yi returned to his office. He was indeed very busy and had no time to deal with anything else.
Liu Zhihui then found Wang Lin and Liu Jiaxin in their office and sent them to deliver the injured employee that Han Yixian had mentioned.
Before long, Wang Lin and Liu Jiaxin found Chen Shulan still sitting on the ground. Liu Jiaxin recognized Chen Shulan immediately; she was from the finance department.
Although Chen Shulan had only been at the pharmaceutical factory for a few days, many people already knew her because of her stunning beauty.
As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain." Liu Jiaxin considered herself the most beautiful girl in the factory. Now, Chen Shulan, who was even more beautiful than her, had come and almost stolen her position as the factory's most beautiful girl. Naturally, she had no good feelings towards Chen Shulan and even hated her very much.
However, the two are not in the same department, so they usually only see each other a few times when they get food in the cafeteria.
This time, Liu Jiaxin learned that it was Han Yi who had found their factory office director and asked them to take the injured Chen Shulan to the infirmary.
Liu Jiaxin felt extremely resentful that Han Yixian was giving Chen Shulan such special treatment. She had repeatedly tried to get close to Han Yixian without any success. Last time, she was even scolded by Han Yixian for answering He Yuhan's call, which left her feeling very aggrieved.
Liu Jiaxin felt even more aggrieved that Chen Shulan, who had only been there a few days, had already gotten Han Yixian's help. She thought that Chen Shulan must be a vixen who had used tricks to get close to Han Yixian.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Jiaxin wished that Chen Shulan would break her leg.
