Dan's words not only attracted Yu Yao's attention, but also piqued the curiosity of the other colleagues in the side business group who were waiting for the meeting in the office, and they all gathered around.
"Sister Dan, what was the result?"
"Can it meet the requirements of the local specialty products company?"
"The rating should be pretty good, after all, our dried mangoes taste better than those sold in department stores."
Opinions varied. Although people were confident in the quality of the mangoes and dried mangoes, no one knew what grade they would reach until the results were in, so everyone was on tenterhooks.
Instead of revealing the answer directly, Zhu Xiudan handed the documents sent by the local specialty company through the postman to Yu Yao, saying, "You should tell everyone the specific results."
"Sister Dan, it's already this late, and you're still keeping us in suspense. We're getting so anxious!" Su Meihua, impatient by nature, leaned forward, her eyes practically glued to the file folder. "Yu Yao, hurry up and see what the result is!"
Apart from Zhu Xiudan, who already knew the answer, everyone else looked at Yu Yao expectantly.
"Okay, I'll check it right away." Yu Yao was confident in this batch of dried mangoes; the quality would definitely not be lower than A grade.
She opened the file bag, which contained a stack of documents. The top page read "Mango Dried Fruit Test Report," and below it were numerous names and data.
It includes data on fruit fiber content, moisture content, sweetness, and the content of various nutrients, and also lists the standard lines for each grade of the project. The data is very detailed.
The dried mangoes from the haunted mango grove are excellent in every aspect, far exceeding Grade A and reaching the A+ standard, which is top quality.
Besides this batch of mangoes, all other dried mangoes also reached Grade A quality.
This result can be considered quite good.
Su Meihua leaned over for a look, but didn't understand. "Yu Yao, what does this say? How are our mangoes? What rating do they get?"
Yu Yao looked up at all the comrades in the sideline production team, revealed a bright smile, and announced: "Our dried mangoes have all reached excellent quality, and the dried mangoes in the east end of the village have all reached top quality."
A huge cheer erupted in the office, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
"Oh my god, this is amazing, we did it!"
"Long live Comrade Yu! Long live Sister Dan!"
Seeing everyone so happy made Yu Yao very happy too.
No wonder everyone is so excited. The dried mangoes from the haunted mango orchard have achieved an A+ rating, which means that the local specialty company will buy these dried mangoes for an extra cent per kilogram.
It also means that the side business now has its own flagship product, and the dried mangoes can be sold at a good price with the endorsement of local specialties.
How could this not make people happy?
Zhu Xiudan wiped away her tears where no one could see. Even this usually strong veteran revolutionary, who prided herself on being an iron-willed woman in the Women's Army, couldn't help but be moved by everyone's actions.
Great, Lao Zheng, the task you entrusted to me has finally come to fruition.
Among the many happy faces, only Wang Xiu's smile looked forced.
Yu Yao is incredibly lucky. The poisonous mango that everyone else avoids has become a golden nugget that everyone envies in her hands.
After returning home from the office, she remained gloomy and unhappy.
Just then, Qin Lamei walked into the house with a happy face. "Xiuer, you're home! That's great. I have some good news for you."
Wang Xiu was in a bad mood, and her attitude was not appropriate and she was very impatient.
However, Qin Lamei was too happy to notice.
Upon hearing the good news from Wang Xiu, she touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant. The doctor said I'm more than three months along."
"What?" Wang Xiu's face grew even paler as she looked at Qin Lamei's stomach. "You're pregnant?"
Qin Lamei was overjoyed, constantly touching her belly. "Yes. Your brother-in-law and I have been trying for so many years, taking so many medications, and I'm finally pregnant. If your brother-in-law knew, I don't know how happy he would be..."
“Xiuer, didn’t you say that Yu Yao was making things difficult for you in the side business group? Why don’t you quit and come back to help me? This pregnancy has been so difficult for me, I feel more at ease with you by my side.”
Wang Xiu's face stiffened, and she said, "Cousin, you're not trying to cause trouble for Yu Yao, are you? I've recently discovered some dirt on her. By staying in the side business group, I can gather more evidence, so if you want to deal with her later, I'll have a way."
Qin Lamei waved her hand dismissively, "Put Yu Yao's matter aside. The most important thing now is the baby. The doctor said this pregnancy isn't very stable, so I need to take good care of myself. My cousin doesn't have any other relatives. You're my only sister. With your help, I can feel at ease."
"Don't worry, your cousin won't treat you badly. Didn't you say you wanted to find a military officer as a partner? Your cousin has already found out for you. He's on a mission and will be back next month. I'll take you to meet him then."
She became more and more excited as she talked, but Wang Xiu's face grew increasingly grim, and her gaze fixed on her stomach held a hint of gloom.
What sisterly affection? They just treat her like a free servant. Taking care of Qin Lamei alone isn't enough; they also have to take care of the younger ones. What do they take her for?
Wang Xiu lowered her head, her nails digging into her palms, but she felt no pain.
She felt a surge of anger in her heart, which made her feel uncomfortable. She wished that Yu Yao and Qin Lamei would just disappear and stop getting in her way.
It was impossible to get her to give up her job and go home. Wang Xiu put on a smiling face and tried to persuade Qin Lamei to give her more time to hand over her work.

The day after the local specialty products company's report was released, as agreed, Yu Yao and her group were to go to the company to collect the final payment, and an accountant was required to accompany them.
