Fang Qiaoqiao snorted, raised her chin, and pointed to the last coconut, "This one is yours."
Fang Qiaoqiao finally got a chance to show off, so she used a dagger to help Yu Yao open a coconut while explaining how to do it.
There's a trick to opening a coconut. First, use a knife to peel off the outer skin, exposing the top. Then, use the back of the knife to tap around the top a few times in a circular motion; the top will naturally crack open. Finally, use the tip of the knife to gently pry it off, and the top will come off easily. Then you can drink the coconut directly from there.
Fang Qiaoqiao helped her open the coconut, and then opened another coconut.
Just as the two finished driving, Su Yu pushed her bicycle over and swallowed hard when she saw the coconuts in their hands.
She knew Fang Qiaoqiao disliked her, so she didn't ask for it.
Fang Qiaoqiao snorted, raised her chin, and pointed to the last coconut on the ground: "This is for the child in your belly. There's a dagger over there, open it yourself."
After saying that, he ignored Fang Qiaoqiao and said to Yu Yao, "A Yao, you should try this. This is a golden coconut. The coconut water tastes better than that of red or green coconuts."
Yu Yao took a sip from the opened coconut and her eyes lit up. "It really is delicious."
The coconut water from this golden coconut is sweeter than that from green or red coconuts, and the coconut flavor is more intense. It has a mellow, sweet taste and is very thirst-quenching.
After drinking a whole coconut, Yu Yao felt much better in her throat, and her voice wasn't as harsh.
The three of them packed up and, without further delay, rode their bicycles to the nearest post office.
Upon arriving at the post office, Yu Yao first asked Fang Qiaoqiao to go in and make a phone call. After contacting Wu De's family, she then called Su Yu in.
She stayed outside to watch the bicycles.
Su Yu wanted to answer the phone, but Fang Qiaoqiao refused, saying, "You have a criminal record, so I can't let you make the call yourself. I'll ask you some questions, and you can listen in."
A strange glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes, and she withdrew her hand.
Just as Ayao had said, this woman wanted to change her mind.
Seeing her like this, Fang Qiaoqiao became even more wary. She was very cautious on the phone, only asking questions that would help Su Yu confirm that she and Yu Yao were not lying to her, and not mentioning anything else.
After leaving the post office, Yu Yao gave Fang Qiaoqiao an inquiring look.
Fang Qiaoqiao nodded, indicating that everything was done.
Yu Yao looked at Su Yu, "Let's go."
Su Yu had no choice but to go to the factory with them.
Upon arriving at the factory, Yu Yao took Su Yu directly to the director of the Revolutionary Committee and explained the situation.
Zhou Qiang's office at the food factory.
Zhou Qiang sat in a leather chair with a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes next to him and an enamel mug beside him.
The tea brewed inside is a large-leaf variety of black tea, a specialty of the South Island, which is only supplied to cadres and costs one yuan per ounce.
"You mean the female worker named Yu Yao has disappeared?"
"Yes, after Wu Huaiqing was taken away by Director Chen of the Revolutionary Committee, the factory director's sister-in-law went to the sugar water workshop to find Yu Yao and probably told her about Wu Huaiqing. Not long after, the two of them asked for leave and left."
"Do you know where they went? Did they go to see the factory manager?"
Zhou Qiang took a sip of tea, seemingly confident and unafraid.
The worker shook his head. "No, the two of them left on bicycles. We don't know where they went. Director Zhou, could they have gone to the Su family? What if the Su family changes their mind?"
Zhou Qiang narrowed his long, narrow eyes, revealing a smile that said, "I've already taken care of things with the Su family. They're destined to make a wasted trip. Wu Huaiqing is nothing more than a monkey in my palm. No matter how powerful he is, he can't escape my grasp."
The lackey revealed a fawning smile, "This Wu Huaiqing is really blind, daring to go against you. In the entire factory, in terms of seniority and ability, you are the most suitable person for the position of purchasing manager."
The lackey's flattering words pleased Zhou Qiang. "Alright, stop flattering me. Keep a close eye on what I told you to do. Clean up the warehouse. A batch of supplies will be arriving soon."
"Director Zhou," the lackey called out, then lightly slapped himself and said with a fawning smile, "You should call me Manager Zhou. Don't worry, the warehouse is all arranged, and there are people guarding it. Not a single fly will be allowed to get in."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Qiang waved for the lackeys to leave, then took out a small comb from the drawer, combed his bald patchy hair again, and put it back in the drawer.
The door opened, and Wan Xiaozhen entered.
Zhou Qiang got up and went to greet him. After closing the door, he couldn't wait to hug him. "It's been so many days since we last met. Did you miss me?"
Wan Xiaozhen gave him a reproachful look, "It's all because that old man at home is keeping a close eye on me. He comes to pick me up from get off work every day, so I can't find a chance to come."
"I told you a long time ago that I could let you stay in the factory dormitory, but you wouldn't. Now it's not easy for us to even see each other. I've missed you so much, let me give you a kiss."
Wan Xiaozhen gently pushed him, "Brother Qiang, don't be gentle, it tickles. I'll listen to you this time, I'll move to the dormitory tomorrow."
The two cuddled for a while, and Wan Xiaozhen lay in Zhou Qiang's arms, her voice incredibly gentle.
"Brother Qiang, when are you going to transfer me to the purchasing department? I want to be closer to you. You don't know, those people in the pre-processing workshop all bully me. With a production quota of 300 jin per day, their hands are getting rough."
"Let me see, oh dear, it really is rough. Wait a while longer, until Wu Huaiqing is dismissed and I become the manager, then I'll transfer you over."
"Really? You're not lying to me?" Wan Xiaozhen asked softly.
Zhou Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze fell on her swollen chest. "I'm definitely not lying to you. From now on, I'll be in charge of the purchasing department. It won't be difficult to transfer you over."
After saying that, Zhou Qiang eagerly kissed her.
Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door, and a lackey's voice rang out from outside, "It's bad, Director Zhou, Yu Yao has taken that Su Yu from the Su family to the Revolutionary Committee."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang, while buttoning his shirt, went to open the door and asked, "When did this happen?"
"Just now, when I went out of the office, I saw Yu Yao and the factory director's sister-in-law taking Su Yu to see Director Chen of the Revolutionary Committee. Many people saw it on the way."
Zhou Qiang cursed, quickly dressed, and rushed to the Revolutionary Committee.
As soon as I entered the gate of the Revolutionary Committee, I saw the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee.
Director Chen saw him and cursed, "Idiot, look what you've done!"
Just as Zhou Qiang was about to chase after him to ask what was going on, he saw Wu Huaiqing coming out accompanied by Yu Yao and Fang Qiaoqiao.
"How did you get out so quickly?" Zhou Qiang asked, somewhat surprised.
Even if Su Yu is willing to testify for Wu Huaiqing and prove that Wu Huaiqing did not bully her, it is a fact that Wu Huaiqing made Su Yu pregnant out of wedlock.
Director Chen could have used this as an excuse to criticize Wu Huaiqing for having problems with his ideological awareness and to convict him of a crime. Why did he release him so quickly?
