Factory Director Zhu reached out and kneaded Chen Tingting's body for a while before reluctantly withdrawing his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you today. I just have some good news to tell you."
Chen Tingting sat obediently in Director Zhu's lap, her voice soft and gentle. She whispered in Director Zhu's ear, her breath incredibly alluring.
"What good news?"
"Zhao Youcai is back."
Chen Tingting was taken aback.
Factory Director Zhu didn't notice any of this; he was too excited and completely ignored Chen Tingting's unusual behavior.
"You need to get this done as soon as possible. How much more money we can make in our little nest egg depends on how much effort you put in."
Factory Director Zhu is, after all, a man with children. Even though his wife has been dead for many years, he still maintains the public image of a loving husband.
Everyone knows that Director Zhu is a man of deep affection and loyalty. His deceased wife will always be the woman he loves most. He raised his child single-handedly, acting as both father and mother, which was very difficult for him.
With this deeply affectionate persona, Director Zhu has cultivated relationships with countless upright individuals.
Especially the steel mill's factory manager, who was known as a fiercely protective husband.
Factory Director Zhu is secretly keeping Chen Tingting as his mistress, so he must need to buy her nice things and spend a lot of money.
Otherwise, why should Chen Tingting, who is even younger than his son, serve him?
Director Zhu's words were also a reminder to Chen Tingting that if she could handle this matter well, she would directly receive a portion of the money from selling the dozens of extra pigs she had secretly raised.
Chen Tingting understood.
They also knew how much money they could make from the extra pigs.
If the price of pork could be the same as that of pork from the meat processing plant, even if she only got one-fifth of the money, it would be enough for Chen Tingting to dump Director Zhu and take her whole family to another province to buy a house and start over.
Moreover, Zhao Youcai is handsome and walks so fast that he doesn't even pant, so he must be in excellent physical condition.
Following Zhao Youcai to enjoy happiness, one can certainly have a good time.
"Don't worry, I'll go to Zhaojiagou first thing tomorrow morning."
As for why she didn't go today, Chen Tingting considered herself to be quite sensible.
After being away for so long, shouldn't the whole family get together and have a good chat?
If she were to suddenly show up at her door like this, what would Zhao Youcai think of her?
If Zhao Youcai knew that someone in town had been informed of his return home and was already looking for him, it would definitely make him more vigilant.
For a honey trap to succeed, the prerequisite is to avoid arousing suspicion.
Men may like women who are delicate and need protection, but that doesn't mean they like women who are constantly scheming against them.
The news of Zhao Youcai's return quickly spread to everyone in the town who was on good terms with him.
Factory manager Niu and purchasing director Zhao Yanfeng of the steel plant got together to discuss what to buy for Zhao Youcai and personally deliver it to him the next day.
Factory manager Ma made a special trip to Zhao Chunhua, an employee and Zhao Youcai's eldest daughter, to ask about Zhao Youcai's preferences.
Captain Qi received the news of Zhao Youcai's return home immediately and knew that he had used his identity in Haishi. He thought he would go to Zhaojiagou the next day to ask about the specific situation.
After all, in his impression, Zhao Youcai had never been the kind of person who would bully others by taking advantage of others.
If Zhao Youcai were the kind of person who had connections that needed to be exposed, it would definitely not be his turn.
The names of those bigwigs in the military region are all more prestigious than mine.
Moreover, in Haishi, which is 2,000 kilometers away, his status as a mere police captain is of little use.
If there are any further problems, we need to find out the details so that he can provide more information later, in order to prevent any real trouble from arising.
As relatives of Zhao Youcai from the same village, the Li family arrived at Zhao Youcai's yard immediately.
Seeing how well their daughter and Zhao Jianhua got along, the Li family finally felt relieved again.
"Your arrival is just in time, it saves us the trouble of sending the two children over to you."
Zhao Youcai had planned to have his third son and his wife fill a bowl with the stewed pork ribs and send them over along with a few bars of handmade soap.
Just then, the elderly couple arrived, so we invited them to stay and eat there.
As for the other children in the Li family, Zhao Youcai couldn't be bothered with them.
His daughter-in-law's parents are his in-laws, while his daughter-in-law's brother and sister-in-law are at most relatives.
Why should an elder like him go out of his way to please someone else's younger generation?
The elderly couple couldn't refuse, so they sat down to eat with Zhao Youcai's family and chatted about trivial matters.
In the past, the daughters-in-law would definitely have been unhappy.
We finally managed to stew some pork ribs at home, but we had to share them with other people.
But Zhao Youcai's family's quality of life skyrocketed. They ate meat every day, and oily food was a staple for them.
Now, no one in the Zhao family is greedy anymore, and they're slowly starting to have money in their pockets. They all seem to have changed their demeanor.
Seeing the thriving business of Zhao Youcai's family, even the Li couple, known for being the most frugal in the village, felt that their daughter had indeed married above her station.
"Why are you being so polite? Ever since my daughter married into your family, we've been providing her with rice, flour, cooking oil, meat, eggs, fish, and all sorts of snacks. We just got her bicycle a few days ago, and now you want soap? I feel a little embarrassed."
Zhao Youcai laughed heartily, thinking that having such in-laws was truly a relief.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they talked for a while before the dinner party ended.
Zhao Youcai wasn't idle either. He first went to check the instant noodle production machine, and then inspected the instant noodle broth that his daughters-in-law had cooked.
Then I went to look at the finished products packaged by the packaging machine and picked out a few instant noodles that didn't seal properly and put them aside.
Zhao Youcai also picked out some broken pieces of dough, crushed them into crumbs, and poured them into the trough to feed the pigs.
As for chickens, ducks, and geese, Zhao Youcai was afraid that the wheat grown on these farms, after being processed in this way, would cause them to lay eggs excessively.
The pig is fine; it will just gain a couple more ounces of meat at most.
Even if you accidentally give birth to a few extra piglets, it's no big deal, since it's never been a secret that pigs can reproduce.
"Dad, this is all the money we made from selling things while you were away, along with the detailed accounts. Take a look."
The fourth brother's wife walked up to Zhao Youcai with a smile, and Zhao Youcai's mind went blank.
Originally, I felt uncomfortable staying in Haishi and was anxious to go home to do business and make money.
He's already been treated like a beast of burden since he got home, having to look at this and that all he does, and now he has to look at densely packed account books. Zhao Youcai is exhausted.
Even if I'm tired, I still have to watch it!
The fourth daughter-in-law's accounts were becoming increasingly accurate, with tables on every page detailing what was sold, how much money was made, which households had settled their accounts, and which households had only received half payment.
Each page also had an IOU attached to the back, which also indicated the final payment date.
Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up; this fourth daughter-in-law is quite something!
