Chapter 4 The child is in our hands, what are you afraid of?
In order to deal with the situation in the evening, Lin Wanqing thought about it, took some tea from home, changed her clothes, and went out.
According to the letter her mother left for her, Lin Wanqing knew that the factory director Zhou Bo should be a reliable person.
The factory director lived in a nearby alley, mostly inhabited by factory employees. Lin Wanqing, dressed in a plain cheongsam and suede shoes, stood out from the crowd of workers in their blue, coarse work clothes.
Everyone saluted her and then whispered to each other -
"That's Lin Wanqing! The young lady of the Lin Mansion!"
"Now that you're a widow, I'll try my best and maybe you can get along with me!"
"I think you're after the Lin family's money!"
"I'm just saying that. I still want to make progress. Whether I can afford to support a woman like this is another matter, but my career is over from now on."
"It's still possible to do it! Ahahaha!"
A group of bachelors stood crookedly at the foot of the wall, looking at her with unscrupulous eyes.
Lin Wanqing was not angry, she just found it funny, as if she was inferior to others after becoming a widow, and any man could get close to her from now on.
"What are you looking at? Look any further or you'll go blind!" Following a curse and a "splash", a basin of dirty water was poured over the men's heads.
"Oh shit!"
"grass!"
"You're so fierce, no wonder no man dares to marry you!"
Several grown men were so angry that they jumped up and down, but when they saw who the culprit was, they immediately stopped and just whispered a few sarcastic words, then dispersed with their heads down and eyes ashamed.
Lin Wanqing looked at the girl in surprise.
She is the factory director's daughter, her name is Zhou Huijin.
The two of them had been classmates for many years, but they had never gotten along. Today, he actually helped her, which made Lin Wanqing a little puzzled.
Zhou Huijin shook off the water from the basin and looked Lin Wanqing up and down with her eyelids raised. "Oh, what wind blew this rich girl into our slums?"
Hearing the familiar sarcastic tone, Lin Wanqing raised her eyebrows. This was the Zhou Huijin she remembered.
"Long time no see, Zhou Huijin." Lin Wanqing took a step forward and extended her hand to her seriously.
Zhou Huijin curled her lips, frowned, and reached out to slap away Lin Wanqing's hand that was stretched out in front of her. "Lin Wanqing, you are not smart enough, right? We just met yesterday, why are you pretending?"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes and went into the house.
Lin Wanqing didn't explain, just smiled to herself and followed her into the Zhou family's house.
"Is Director Zhou home?"
"Sleeping."
Zhou Huijin knocked on the door of the inner room and said, "Dad, the rich young lady is here to see you. She is such a great guest, please don't keep me waiting for too long."
Director Zhou opened the door, smoothing his hair while scolding, "If you don't change your mouth, you'll never get married in this life!"
"What's so good about getting married?" Zhou Huijin made a face and sat down on the chair carelessly, staring at Lin Wanqing and said, "She got married, but she still became a widow? And she has a lot of burdens. She's not as good as me."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Director Zhou raised his hand to hit her, but he was just pretending. Zhou Huijin dodged with a smile and didn't even move.
Director Zhou had no choice but to apologize to Lin Wanqing, "I'm sorry, my daughter is so careless with her words. I'll teach her a lesson later."
Looking at the warm relationship between father and daughter, Lin Wanqing unconsciously thought of the past.
In the past, she also acted like this and acted cute and funny with her father.
Lin Wanqing shook her head and said somewhat dejectedly, "Uncle Zhou, it's okay. I don't care."
After a few polite words, Lin Wanqing explained her purpose.
"Tonight is Guodong's seventh day. I would like you to attend and help preside over some events."
"There are some things I hope you can help bear witness to."
Director Zhou and Zhou Huijin looked at each other, and Zhou Huijin, who had been sitting awkwardly, immediately sat up straight.
"Host what?" Zhou Huijin's expression turned serious, and she asked tentatively, "It's not appropriate for outsiders to say anything about your family's affairs, right?"
Lin Wanqing said, "You worked with my father for many years, so you are my elder. I won't hide it."
"You all understand my current situation. I've lost my parents and my husband. The Zhang family is so powerful, and I'm guarding the Lin family's things alone. It's inevitable that they will miss me."
"But now is not the time to tear each other apart..."
Director Zhou didn't wait for Lin Wanqing to finish speaking before nodding and saying, "I understand. You don't need to say more."
He was looking for help. Zhou Huijin raised her eyebrows in surprise. "I thought you were going to commit suicide for love."
"I hate you the most when you're like this. You look like you can't live without a man. Okay, you're still sober."
Lin Wanqing smiled awkwardly and didn't respond. She felt guilty because she was really like that in her previous life.
"Director Zhou, I heard that the country has assigned some Soviet experts to the factory." Lin Wanqing calculated based on her memories from her previous life that the Soviet experts would arrive in a few months.
Director Zhou was a little confused, "How did you know?"
"A notice has been issued about this matter, but I haven't announced it yet."
Lin Wanqing smoothed her hair and laughed, "I heard that some factories in other cities have already sent experts. I think our factory will be there soon."
Director Zhou and Zhou Huijin both looked at Lin Wanqing in surprise, "You're so well-informed."
"That's what I thought." Lin Wanqing leaned closer. "If the factory has no place to accommodate them, I can offer my home and let the female experts live there."
"My main building has three floors and seven or eight rooms. You should be able to rest assured about the living conditions. I've learned Russian and English before, so I should have no problem communicating."
"But they are all women, after all. If the factory is concerned about their safety, they could arrange for security personnel or male experts to be stationed in the annex building. What do you think?"
This was Lin Wanqing's plan to ensure her own safety after driving the Zhang family out.
Donating the house to the factory can also make the factory owe a favor. Once the Soviet female expert moves in, the Lin Mansion must have security measures in place. No matter whether it is the Zhang family or the gangsters who are eyeing her property, they will not be able to get close to her.
She can be said to be taking advantage of the power of others.
After saying this to Lin Wanqing, Director Zhou let out a "tsk" and looked her up and down with great appreciation.
"Comrade Lin Wanqing, I underestimated you." Director Zhou was very pleased. "You have brains."
Lin Wanqing smiled and said, "Since Uncle Zhou has seen my intention, I hope you can fulfill it."
Director Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I agree to this, both for public and private reasons."
He had been asked by Lin's father to help if Lin Wanqing came to him one day.
Director Zhou and Lin's father are close friends. Everyone can see Lin Wanqing's predicament. He has been waiting for Lin Wanqing to come to his house. Although family affairs are difficult to manage, as long as Lin Wanqing asks, he will not refuse.
But if Lin Wanqing didn't speak up, it would be difficult for him to control her.
"Wanqing, I'm very happy that you can come to see me today." Director Zhou nodded frequently. Thinking of the things that happened between him and Lin's father in the past, his eyes became hot unconsciously.
"I, I have one more thing." Lin Wanqing said hesitantly, "I hope Uncle Zhou can help me."
Director Zhou was quite happy to answer, "Go ahead."
"I want to go to work." Lin Wanqing said, "My sister-in-law has always done my job. I don't know if I can get it back."
Director Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "I'll help you find a solution."
Zhou Huijin didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Wanqing seriously again several times.
I always feel that she is different, and her whole temperament and aura have changed as well.
Seeing Zhou Huijin kept looking at her, Lin Wanqing smiled at her, and Zhou Huijin immediately gave her a thumbs up, "Lin Wanqing, you're awesome."
"Tsk!" Director Zhou raised his hand and slapped her. "Girl, speak more politely!"
Zhou Huijin ran away in panic, "I aspire to be a shrew. Civility is useless."
Watching the father and daughter quarreling, Lin Wanqing felt an indescribable envy. Seeing that the work was almost done, Lin Wanqing thanked them, put down the tea and wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Director Zhou, who refused to accept the things and forced Lin Wanqing to take them back home.
This person is really upright.
Meanwhile in the hospital.
Yang Aihua's eyelids kept twitching. She didn't know why she always felt like something very important had slipped away from her hands.
She found a piece of paper, dipped it in saliva, and put it on her eyelids. Yang Aihua said worriedly, "Do you think Lin Wanqing is really going to break up with us?"
"Don't worry, the Lin family's things can only be ours!" Mother Lin said with a determined attitude, "I know Lin Wanqing. If we scare her and say a few nice words to her, she'll be fooled into losing her mind in no time."
"Besides, her child is still in our hands. What are you afraid of?"
