Twenty minutes later, Lu Huai'an accompanied Su Wantang to the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory.
Secretary Zhou is already waiting here.
He handed the money to Su Wantang and relayed Chen Ze's instructions.
"Comrade Su."
"I am the junior, you can just call me Wan Tang."
Secretary Zhou adjusted his glasses and readily agreed. Upon closer inspection, the standardized, fake smile on his lips had deepened slightly.
"Wantang, the leadership has considered the pharmaceutical factory matter. There's a piece of wasteland behind the factory, which was originally intended for road construction, but now the leadership plans to continue building factories there."
They were all smart people, and Su Wantang immediately understood what Secretary Zhou meant by those words.
Previously, Chen Ze was still testing her, but now he has completely regarded her as one of his own, and someone he is very important to protect.
The Third Pharmaceutical Factory was the target he used to shield her from harm.
"Please thank Grandpa Chen for me."
"I will." Secretary Zhou turned and left.
The day after paying the deposit, Su Wantang led Xia Baoyue and others to the pharmaceutical factory early in the morning.
She and Wu Xuan had agreed to rent a factory building from them.
Sitting in the taxi, Su Wantang glanced at the figures of people and shops rushing past outside.
Suddenly, her gaze froze, and she shouted.
"parking!"
Looking out the car window, Su Zhichen was standing awkwardly in front of a newspaper office. In front of him was a man with a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance, who was holding some kind of paper and waving it around.
He had a very loud voice, and as soon as Su Wantang opened the car door, his voice clearly entered her ears.
"Look everyone! Even big capitalists can work as temporary workers now!"
These days, capitalists are universally hated as bad elements.
As soon as these words were spoken, a group of people who wanted to join in the fun gathered around, bent down, grabbed a handful of dirt, and threw it at Su Zhichen's face.
Upon seeing this, Su Wantang's pupils contracted sharply, and her ten fingers gripping the car door turned pale from the force of the pressure, clearly indicating that she was extremely angry.
Before Su Wantang could rush over and stop her, Gu Shiya, who was riding her bicycle to work and passing by, stepped in to protect her.
She frowned: "So what if he's a capitalist? The fact that this comrade is here safely means that his identity has been reviewed by the organization and there are no problems."
"Do you have evidence to prove that this comrade is a bad element? If not, then it's spreading rumors, and spreading rumors is illegal. I will call the police."
Xiang Fusheng choked.
He pleaded and begged until the president finally agreed to hire his nephew as a temporary worker, but unexpectedly, Su Zhichen snatched the job away from him.
Han Dong is very capable, and although he is the vice president, it is not appropriate for him to openly make things difficult for him.
As a result, Su Zhichen became the scapegoat.
Xiang Fusheng originally planned to deliberately make things difficult for Su Zhichen after he came in, forcing him to leave, but he did not expect that Su Zhichen was actually from a capitalist background.
He went directly to the editor-in-chief, and Su Zhichen naturally couldn't get into the newspaper. But unexpectedly, the editor-in-chief canceled the temporary worker position.
Xiang Fusheng felt that it was all Su Zhichen's fault, so, with nowhere to vent his anger, he stood at the entrance of the newspaper office, grabbing Su Zhichen's identity and shouting, trying to incite the crowd's anger, teach Su Zhichen a lesson, and vent his anger.
"Are there any good capitalists? Aren't they all bad elements?" Xiang Fusheng said awkwardly.
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you really have evidence to prove he's a bad guy, let's go to the police station and discuss it!"
How could Xiang Fusheng dare?
Once he calmed down, he realized he wasn't stupid. Given Su Zhichen's background, the fact that he hadn't been labeled a bad element meant he was definitely someone of status, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"Take your ID and get out. Our newspaper doesn't hire capitalists like you." Xiang Fusheng threw his ID on the ground and turned to leave.
"Who did you tell to get lost? You think you can leave without an apology? You better go back—"
Su Zhichen quickly stretched out his arm to stop Gu Shiya, who was heading into the newspaper office to seek justice: "Gu—"
"What did you call me?" Gu Shiya couldn't help but ask expectantly.
She didn't want to hear anything she didn't know; she'd rather Su Zhichen frankly tell her that he had fallen for someone else.
Regardless of whether she loved him or not, Gu Shiya was simply unwilling to accept the situation and wanted a clear and unambiguous answer.
"Comrade Gu."
Gu Shiya's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Unaware of this, Su Zhichen continued, "Thank you, let's just let this matter rest."
Gu Shiya sneered: "Su Zhichen, you're still the same as before, a spineless coward."
Su Zhichen was stunned. A picture flashed through his mind so fast that he couldn't see it clearly.
"Comrade Gu, I didn't know you before."
Gu Shiya almost bit her teeth to pieces.
"good."
"No need to thank me, consider it an apology for slapping you."
After saying that, Gu Shiya got on her bicycle and rode away.
"Sister-in-law, are you going or not?" Xia Bao, who got out of the car with Su Wantang, couldn't help but ask when she saw that Su Wantang had stopped for a long time.
"I'm not going."
Su Wantang turned and got into the car.
She understood what was going on; her father didn't want to trouble her, and probably even less did he want her to see him like this.
Back in the car, Su Wantang frowned.
Could Director Gu and Dad be old acquaintances? But Dad clearly doesn't know Director Gu, yet Director Gu is so emotional and doesn't seem to be lying. What exactly is going on?
"Sister-in-law, why don't you go see your dad?" Xia Bao asked curiously.
"You knew that was my dad?"
“Surname Su, and looks so much like my cousin’s wife, isn’t that obvious to anyone with eyes?” Xia Bao emphasized, “Cousin’s wife, don’t underestimate me, I’m very smart.”
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
"etc."
Su Wantang grabbed Xia Bao's arm, her voice urgent: "What did you just say?"
"Don't underestimate me, I can—"
"Not this sentence, the previous one."
"My cousin's wife and uncle look very alike, they both have eyes..."
They look alike.
"Could it be..."
Seeing that Su Wantang was acting strangely, Xia Bao leaned forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? You seem a bit off. Are you delirious from a cold?"
As he spoke, he reached out his palm to touch Su Wantang's forehead.
My cousin from Huai'an specifically told him last night to take good care of his wife, or else he'd drag him to play chess with my grandfather.
He didn't want to. His grandfather was terrible at chess and would cheat, and most importantly, he would have to pay him extra. Xia Bao had been cheated out of his New Year's money a lot when he was a child.
He needs to save money for medical treatment!
Su Wantang slapped Xia Bao's clean white hand away: "You're the one with a fever, your sister-in-law, I'm perfectly fine."
"Oh~" Xia Bao muttered, "You're really fierce. I don't know how my cousin can stand you."
Su Wantang's face darkened: "I can hear you."
"Then I'll be quieter next time."
Su Wantang: "..."
Upon arriving at the pharmaceutical factory, with the help of factory manager Wu Xuan, the group familiarized themselves with the equipment and began to get busy.
Frostbite ointment began to be produced in batches and packaged into boxes.
Su Wantang was so busy at the pharmaceutical factory that she didn't even have time to drink water, unaware that her pharmacy had welcomed three groups of people that day.
