Chapter 126 Jiang Min Has Gone Mad
In the days that followed, Jiang Ruzhen immersed herself in her busy work.
They contacted government officials and purchased machines through their channels. When they didn't have enough cash, they used gold bars from their storage space to exchange for more. They spent about 100,000 yuan to finally get the factory built.
The government also strongly supports individual entrepreneurship, especially for entrepreneurs with abundant funds like Jiang Ruzhen, who are among the talents they actively recruit.
There are dedicated personnel responsible for coordinating both human and equipment resources.
This gave Jiang Ruzhen great confidence, and the factory gradually progressed. In just two months, it had taken shape, and the workers were all top-notch craftsmen recruited from factories or the general public.
The only thing that bothered her was that Jiang Min was still up to her old tricks.
Knowing full well that she disliked him, he still went to her house every now and then to inquire about Lu Mingzheng's whereabouts, purely to disgust her.
At first, Jiang Ruzhen would scold her every time she saw her, but later, as Jiang Min became more and more shameless in her harassment, Jiang Ruzhen was exhausted and would avoid her every time she saw her.
On the day the factory opened, it was packed with people. Factory Director Wang invited many leaders to cut the ribbon for the factory, and the eldest and second eldest brothers also came with Huang Mao and his gang to show their support.
On the first day the factory reopened, Huang Mao and his team placed a lot of orders, which was a great start.
Today, Huang Mao and his brothers are a completely different person; they are all making a fortune in business.
These people were also very grateful. They told Jiang Ruzhen that they were completely clueless when they went to the south to purchase goods, and it was better to purchase from Aunt Jiang's factory, where they would feel more confident.
Aunt Jiang's factory is sure to sell a lot of clothes and bring in a lot of money.
Jiang Ruzhen looked at these people with relief, feeling incredibly warm inside.
Good deeds are rewarded. When she helped Huang Mao and his grandmother, she never expected it would bring her so many benefactors.
Jiang Ruzhen had her eldest and second eldest brothers greet Huang Mao and his gang, while she herself greeted the government officials and arranged for them to have tea and chat in the main hall.
Just when everything was going well, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Jiang Min, dressed in her finest attire, entered the room and immediately began searching for people, causing chaos and confusion everywhere.
Jiang Ruzhen grabbed her arm angrily, "Jiang Min, what's wrong with you now?"
Jiang Min raised her hand and grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's wrist tightly. Her long nails dug into Jiang Ruzhen's skin, causing a series of stinging pains.
"Jiang Ruzhen, tell me, where exactly did you hide Lu Mingzheng?"
"Are you crazy? Today is the opening day of my factory. There are many distinguished guests here, but Lu Mingzheng is not here. Get out of here right now, or I'll slap you in public."
Jiang Ruzhen was thoroughly annoyed by Jiang Min; she couldn't kill her, and she couldn't get rid of her.
It's like a stubborn plaster that won't go away, popping up every now and then to annoy her.
"Sure, go ahead and fan me, I'll fan you. Just tell me where Lu Mingzheng is, and I'll let you hit me however you want."
Jiang Min knelt down with a thud, took Jiang Ruzhen's hand, and slapped her across the face, the sound of the slaps echoing loudly.
Jiang Ruzhen was shocked to see Jiang Min's frantic state.
What is it about Lu Mingzheng that made Jiang Min so crazy about him after just one meeting?
"Are you crazy?"
"Yes, I'm crazy. I fell in love with Lu Mingzheng at first sight and I'm lovesick. I can't live without him. Please, Aunt, give him to me."
Jiang Min knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Ruzhen, appearing as if she had gone mad.
Upon seeing this, the leaders in the room wisely left. Jiang Ruzhen stared wide-eyed at the seemingly insane Jiang Min.
She stood there stunned for a long time, her hands trembling as she called Jiang Zhengyu and asked him to come and pick her up.
Upon receiving the letter, Jiang Zhengyu rushed over immediately, bowing humbly to each of the leaders in apology.
He then used all his strength to slap Jiang Min twice across the face, the viciousness of which immediately caused Jiang Min's cheeks to swell up.
Jiang Zhengyu grabbed Jiang Min's arm and pulled her outside. Jiang Min clung to the door frame, crying and cursing.
"Jiang Ruzhen, you'll die a horrible death! You old hag, shameless old woman, clinging to such an outstanding young man as Lu Mingzheng."
How could you be so cruel to your own niece? You're just jealous of my youth and beauty. You're afraid that Lu Mingzheng will fall in love with me, so you've hidden her away and prevented me from seeing him.
If you're so capable, let's compete fairly. Bring Lu Mingzheng out, and we'll see who can truly capture his heart...
Jiang Ruzhen was too ashamed to face so many leaders. She looked at Jiang Zhengyu and cried out in sadness and disappointment.
"Brother, this is the good daughter you raised."
"I'm sorry..." Jiang Zhengyu bowed deeply to Jiang Ruzhen, his head bowed low and his arms hanging limply at his sides.
"Little sister, I'm so sorry..."
Jiang Ruzhen was dumbfounded when she saw her elder brother bowing and apologizing. What did her elder brother mean by this?
Does this mean I should cut ties with her from now on?
Does it mean we'll never see each other again?
His deep bow completely erased the years of affection between the siblings and plunged Jiang Ruzhen into huge controversy.
Jiang Ruzhen took a few steps back, her eyes filled with deep disappointment, her lips trembling but she remained silent.
After getting up, Jiang Zhengyu knocked Jiang Min unconscious with a karate chop and took her away.
Jiang Ruzhen finally couldn't support herself and collapsed heavily into the chair.
The eldest and second eldest brothers rushed over upon hearing the news and helped the physically and mentally traumatized Jiang Ruzhen into the rest room.
Jiang Ruzhen waved for the two to leave, and then lay quietly on the bed, thinking for a long time.
After the second son went out, he was very successful in receiving business people.
The eldest brother handled receiving government officials with ease.
The two brothers, one in politics and the other in business, each held up half the sky, giving the physically and mentally exhausted Jiang Ruzhen some time to recover.
As night falls, the crowds disperse, and the hustle and bustle comes to an end.
Jiang Ruzhen held the boss's hand and said, "Boss, from now on, I'll leave the management of this factory to you."
The eldest son was somewhat flattered and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Mom, my second brother is more capable than me, so let him be in charge of factory management."
The second brother, upon hearing his elder brother's words, hurriedly retorted.
"Brother, you speak English and are good at management. I heard you're always number one in your class at night school. Managing a factory requires someone as capable as you; I can't do it."
I can handle sales and managing a store, but I can't stand sitting in meetings with those intellectuals all day, looking at ledgers.
"You're just like a thorn in your side; you've never been able to sit still in a chair for half an hour since you were a child."
Jiang Ruzhen's accurate wit made the two brothers burst into laughter.
The next morning, Jiang Ruzhen said goodbye to her parents, leaving her eldest son to manage the factory, and returned to Liancheng with her second son.
Jiang Ruzhen drafted the plan to train store managers, and the rest was to be carried out by the second son.
She plans to open a branch in each of the major northern cities within a year, selling clothes produced in her own factory.
Store managers are currently the most in-demand talent.
However, this plan cannot be rushed. She would rather have none than a bad one if there were no good store managers.
Just like the two sales clerks, Xiao Tao and Xiao Tao, who were recruited at the beginning, they are now capable of handling things independently and have each become store managers.
Driven by the high sales commissions, the two formed a healthy competition, each leading their team to find ways to improve performance.
With everything running smoothly, Jiang Ruzhen became the most relaxed person.
She would stroll around the two stores every day, and when she had nothing else to do, she would go to the library to sit and look for books on fashion design.
Making clothes for others or following the popular styles in the south is not a long-term solution.
She still hopes to one day create her own clothing brand.
She was busy from dawn till dusk every day, until one day, an uncle in a hat suddenly visited.
He brought her some shocking news.
