Wu Xuan frowned: "What do you mean?"
Su Wantang said calmly, "Director Wu, I heard that the partner you painstakingly found has absconded with the goods?"
That brat, why does he talk so fast?
Gao Wei: I'm afraid of getting beaten up (*?????)
She added, "Without the funds in place, it's going to be difficult to pay the workers' wages this month."
"Comrade Su, if you're just looking to make a fool of me, then go ahead and laugh. But I'll say it again: I will not let go until the very last step."
"Don't worry about wages. I'd rather sell everything I own than let everyone work for nothing this month."
Su Wantang: "..."
This guy is really stubborn!
Su Wantang did indeed have a bit of an opportunistic attitude, but Wu Xuan directly blocked her path.
Putting down her water glass, Su Wantang revealed her initial plan: "Director Wu, don't get agitated. That's not what I meant. I want to discuss a business deal with you."
"Buying or selling?"
"Yes, I'd like to borrow your factory space."
As the two were chatting, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"Xiaowei, why are you stopping me?" Gao Fen frowned.
"Sister, brother-in-law is talking inside."
Gao Fen's brows relaxed, but the next second, through the closed door, she vaguely heard a woman's voice coming out.
Instantly, alarm bells rang in my mind.
A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room, with a doorman outside...
Considering Wu Xuan's unusual behavior lately, coming home later and later each day, what else could Gao Fen not understand?
She felt as if a bright green hat had been placed on her head, blinding her.
Gao Fen yanked Gao Wei aside, kicked him in the butt, and cursed, "You traitorous bastard!"
I'll deal with you later!
"I'd like to see which vixen dares to seduce your brother-in-law. At his age, doesn't she feel the stench?"
The door opened, and Gao Fen paused for a moment.
The next second, her voice rose even higher: "Wu Xuan, you old man who can't control his lower body, get out of my way! I want to see which blind vixen has taken a liking to you—"
"Cough cough cough." Gao Fen was dumbfounded when she saw Su Wantang. She blurted out, "Comrade, what are you thinking? He's old enough to be your father!"
"Gao Fen!" Wu Xuan pulled the man behind him and scolded him in a low voice, "What are you doing? This is a business partner of the pharmaceutical company."
Gao Fen's eyes darted around, looking somewhat guilty.
Wu Xuan smiled apologetically as he saw Su Wantang to the factory gate: "Comrade Su, my wife misunderstood. She didn't mean to scold you. If she did anything wrong, I apologize on her behalf."
Who wouldn't be angry if they were called a vixen?
Su Wantang found Gao Fen quite interesting; while her words contained reprimands, they also conveyed a strong sense of indignation.
"It's alright," Su Wantang said, still worried. "Are you sure you don't need me to explain for you?"
Wu Xuan said earnestly, "Comrade Su, don't worry, I will handle my personal matters well and it won't affect our cooperation."
Seeing that he was determined, Su Wantang didn't say anything.
She got on her bike and left.
At the entrance of the newspaper office.
"Old Su, you're doing great! Beautiful handwriting, no typos, and you submitted your manuscript quickly. Our newspaper would love to have an employee like you," Han Dong, the editor in charge of reviewing Su Zhichen's manuscript, couldn't help but praise.
Su Zhichen rubbed his hands nervously: "My family is short of money."
Han Dong didn't press for details; these days, who has an easy life?
"Wait a moment." Han Dong walked into the newspaper office carrying a thick stack of manuscripts.
Su Zhichen waited for ten minutes.
"Old Su." Han Dong ran out excitedly and punched him in the chest with his fist. "You're lucky. I was called over by the president just now, and he happened to see the manuscript you copied. He wants to hire you as a temporary worker."
Su Zhichen was stunned for a moment, but there was no joy on his face.
Temporary workers also need identification.
He didn't want to cause trouble.
"Editor Han, I'm not available right now."
Han Dong was surprised that Su Zhichen would refuse, and a clear look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"What do you mean by convenient or inconvenient? Old Su, this is a crucial time. Don't make any mistakes, and don't look down on temporary workers. What's wrong with temporary workers? Their wages are higher than yours now, and they get bonuses during holidays."
"I...I..."
Han Dong interrupted him: "Stop talking about me. The newspaper is closed tomorrow. Bring your ID to start work the day after tomorrow. I'm busy, so I can't talk to you now."
After saying that, Han Dong hurriedly disappeared from Su Zhichen's sight.
Su Zhichen sighed and turned to leave.
Li Qiang, preoccupied with his own thoughts, barely slept, his ears constantly ringing as he listened to the sounds from next door.
Hearing the sound of the lock being opened, he jumped out of bed, ran barefoot over, and opened the door.
"Brother, you're back?"
Upon seeing Li Qiang, Su Zhichen felt a chill run down his spine and ignored him with a cold expression.
But Li Qiang was shameless. He casually put his arm around Su Zhichen's shoulder and said to him, "Brother, you can't blame me for that. Your wife was all naked. If I could hold back, would I still be a man?"
"Get out!" Su Zhichen's facial muscles twitched.
Li Qiang thought with disdain, "That's all he's good for, all he's good for is his mouth."
If it were him, he would have called the police to arrest the woman without saying a word that day. Why would he have closed the door and stormed off in anger?
"Brother, don't be angry. I'm here to talk to you about something."
"I have nothing to say to you."
“A young woman came to see you this morning.”
"Wantang?"
Li Qiang clicked his tongue inwardly. They call each other so intimately; they must have been having affairs together a lot.
"Right?" he replied casually, giving Su Zhichen a knowing look between men. "Brother, teach me how to hook up with such a hot woman?"
"You son of a bitch!" Su Zhichen punched Li Qiang. "That's my daughter!"
Su Zhichen used all his strength in that punch.
Li Qiang spat out a mouthful of blood: "Damn it! You've gone too far?"
He grabbed Su Zhichen and they started fighting. After the fight, Li Qiang was stunned. This old white face was not a pushover!
Li Qiang had no idea that during Su Zhichen's time in the countryside, he had done all sorts of dirty, hard, and physically demanding jobs, and he even did the work of two people.
He just doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble.
After being punched twice more, Li Qiang, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, cursed and closed the door.
Worried that Su Wantang might need to contact him urgently, Su Zhichen put away his keys, hailed a taxi, and ran to the compound.
When he found out the woman wasn't home, he ran to the pharmacy.
After leaving the pharmaceutical factory, Su Wantang turned around and went to find Yue Tao and Wang Quan, assigning them tasks: one to find comrades-in-arms and the other to purchase medicinal herbs.
After doing all that, she returned to the pharmacy.
As soon as she arrived at the pharmacy, her eyes widened like saucers and her mouth dropped open like an egg.
Her dad got slapped in the street!
She was a woman I'd only met once!
Moreover, the woman's eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked at her father as if he were some heinous, heartless man!
