"What? Dad brought Su Wantang's capitalist parents to live in the compound too?"
Lu Ya pouted: "That's right."
"Big brother, Dad is confused. We can't just stand by and watch the Lu family get implicated and labeled as bad elements."
Lu Yuanzhou knew Lu Zhentian somewhat. After calming down from his surprise, he shook his head and said, "Dad, I wouldn't do something so foolish."
“Dad, he didn’t used to, but he’s old now.” Lu Ya said with a beaming smile. “Do you know what Dad just told me? He said that this person was saved by Su Wantang, that capitalist’s daughter, and it has nothing to do with him.”
“I think Dad isn’t just confused; he’s planning to hand the Lu family over to Su Wantang, an outsider.”
Lu Ya was puzzled: "Big brother, I just don't understand. Dad has been thinking about a life-saving favor for so many years and even let Huai'an marry her. I didn't say anything then, but now I really can't stand it."
"Don't you know your father? He even opened a shop for that Su Wantang."
Lu Yuanzhou frowned: "When did this happen?"
"It's too early. The shop has already opened in a flurry. I only found out that Dad opened a pharmacy for Su Wantang when I went to find Xia Bao that day.
"Brother, you have to take care of this. Think of a way to drive Su Wantang's family out of the compound and take over this pharmacy. Then we can manage it together. I don't want anything, just a job."
“You know the baby’s situation. He doesn’t have a job yet, and he’s a carefree person. He’ll wander off outside without you even noticing. And now it’s time for the educated youth to go to the countryside again. With his health, if he’s really sent down, how will he survive?”
Having learned his lesson, Lu Yuanzhou didn't rush into a decision: "Xiaoya, go back and wait a couple of days. I'll check what's going on first. Don't worry, Xia Bao is my nephew too, I won't abandon him."
"Brother, I'm relieved to hear you say that." Lu Ya got up and left.
As she opened the door, she caught a glimpse of a corner of clothing and scoffed inwardly.
My sister-in-law is stupid too. They don't live in some poorly soundproofed tenement building. They live in a detached single-story house with good quality walls. With the door closed, what could she possibly hear?
They only do things that are beneath their dignity.
She's really not as good as her sister-in-law, Wanqing.
...
After breakfast, Su Wantang went to the herbal medicine shop and made another batch of whitening cream as stock. Then, she told Zhou Yu what to do and left.
She turned and went to the pharmaceutical factory.
I've been busy dealing with miscellaneous matters these past few days, but I've finally had time to work on purchasing a pharmaceutical factory.
Su Wantang had visited before; she was very beautiful, and Gao Wei still remembered her.
This time, seeing Su Wantang with a burly bodyguard, Gao Wei felt quite panicked.
Could they be here to settle scores with him?
Didn't we already beat them up last time?
After glancing back and forth between himself and Yue Tao, Gao Wei said flexibly, "Comrade Su, it was my fault for misunderstanding you last time. I wanted to apologize to you when you left last time, but you walked too fast and I didn't call you back."
"I apologize to you now, can you please stop him from hitting me?" Gao Wei pointed at Yue Tao.
Does she look like a thug who's leading a group to cause trouble?
Seeing Su Wantang remain silent, Gao Wei managed to say, "If you absolutely have to hit her, tell your bodyguard to go easy on her, and also, don't hit her in the face."
Su Wantang: "..."
"Take me to your factory director, Mr. Wu."
I'm not here to lecture him.
Gao Wei laughed, his tone becoming light and cheerful, just like the shouting waiter: "Comrade Su, this way please."
Seeing Gao Wei's timid and cowardly appearance, Su Wantang began to have doubts about her initial assessment of the factory.
Nepotism is a fact.
But a scoundrel isn't necessarily like that; a simpleton, on the other hand, is somewhat like one.
Knock on the door and enter the house.
"Director Wu, Comrade Su is looking for you."
Wu Xuan had just hung up the phone. His expression was not good after the cooperation was rejected, but he still stood up politely and made a welcoming gesture.
"Comrade Su, please have a seat."
Seeing that the two wanted to talk, Gao Wei and Yue Tao consciously stepped outside the door to stand guard.
"Director Wu, have you made up your mind?"
Wu Xuan frowned: "Comrade Su, I made it very clear to your grandfather on the phone that I do not agree to sell this pharmaceutical factory, and the leaders above also support my decision."
"Wait, you mean you called my house?"
Wu Xuan sensed something was wrong from Su Wantang's words and didn't mince words: "I did call. It was the night you left. The person who answered the phone claimed to be your grandfather."
Su Wantang's heart sank.
The fact that her grandfather's memory was failing indicated that even with her regular acupuncture and massage, his condition was steadily deteriorating.
This matter cannot be resolved in a short time, so Su Wantang can only suppress it for the time being.
But deep down she was wondering if the upgraded space would be of any use to her grandfather.
After thinking about it, Su Wantang suppressed the thought again.
Previously, when I fully recognized the space, there was an introduction about the Marrow Cleansing Spring. Taking it would cause great pain, and one would need extremely strong willpower to endure it; otherwise, one would die.
Su Wantang had considered diluting it, but adding water was useless; the two separated directly.
She'll consider this idea later, once she comes up with a way to dilute the spiritual spring water.
"Comrade Su? Comrade Su?"
Su Wantang snapped out of her reverie and smiled sheepishly, "Director Wu, I'm sorry, I was just lost in thought."
“My grandfather is old and his memory isn’t very good. He forgot to tell me about this, so I didn’t know you had already called me.”
Wu Xuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing."
