Chapter 298: Life is Too Lonely
An Zhixia shook her head and sneered: "I have never seen someone as thick-skinned as you in my life. I'm afraid you have deceived yourself, right?
You also know what kind of person your grandfather is, why don't you just do an ordinary job? Why did you have to work in a TV station? Or did you work hard to get this job?"
Jiao Yunlan took a deep breath and said with a faint smile: "Zhixia, you need to change your temper of not letting others off the hook even when you are right and fighting even when you are wrong. You have only been at the TV station for a short time, but you have already taken over the houses of all the old employees, leaving the family members in a state of panic, wishing to kick you out.
For the happiness and interests of my colleagues at the TV station, I really have to go to the TV station to help everyone. I heard that you received investment from the supply and marketing cooperative. Unfortunately, my Channel 5 team also received investment from the department store. The new equipment will be in place in the next two days.
In the future, please take good care of me, Director Xiao An!"
An Zhixia rested her chin on her hand, looked at Jiao Yunlan, and then looked at Deputy Director Ding. The department store and the Maihua Brewery were the home turfs of Fang Shikun, the second son of the Fang family, and Fang Huabin, a branch of the Fang family. She smiled and said, "Okay, we'll see."
As she spoke, she honked the horn, and the sharp sound made everyone cover their ears and step back.
She was not driving fast, and the tail of the car produced a lot of foul fumes, which made everyone cough.
As soon as the others left, everyone found excuses to walk in twos and threes, and occasionally looked back at Jiao Yunlan, pouting and saying in a low voice: "The Jiao family is such a good family. When the old lady and the two sisters-in-law were here, the family was happy. But just because of a girl, so many things happened. The hostess of the family didn't keep any, and in the end, they raised a cuckoo bird at home, and the one they found outside also had bad intentions."
"There are no women in the Jiao family who can survive. This girl's life is too vicious. We should stay away from her in the future, otherwise we might be infected..." No one dared to say the rest, but everyone knew it.
"Yes, the little girl from the Jiang family is a bit domineering, but she doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble and always smiles when she sees people. With the appearance and ability of the girl from the Jiao family, how could she be worthy of her attention? Regardless of whether what they said is true or not, we should keep a distance from the girl from the Jiao family, so as not to be sold out and help others count money!"
After everyone left, Deputy Director Ding stopped pretending and glared at Jiao Yunlan in frustration: "Jiao Yunlan, is what she just said true or false? Did you really commit human trafficking and murder, and did you also stay in a labor camp?"
Jiao Yunlan stroked her hand calmly and said, "My record is clean. If I really did those things, would I let her jump around in front of me? Even if my grandfather rescued us, he would never dare to let us go, let alone find a job for me at the TV station."
Deputy Director Ding agreed when he heard this. Who doesn’t know Old Man Jiao’s character?
"Are you sure you can establish yourself in the TV station and bring huge benefits to the department store, the Maihua Brewery, the paper mill and the textile factory?"
"I guarantee you'll have orders pouring in like snowflakes, people will be so busy working overtime, and the money will be so much that your hands will be tired," Jiao Yunlan nodded. She had lived to the 20th century, witnessed the rapid development of technology, and knew many ways to make a lot of money in the entertainment industry. How could she lose to a local little girl? "But I want 5% of the new profits, not a cent less!"
"Of course," Deputy Director Ding said with a more positive expression. "We can all make money together, and you won't be left out. We are all in the same boat, and I won't watch you get bullied by that girl."
"By the way, my husband's job?"
"Xiao Cui is good-looking, knows how to deal with people, has strong abilities, and has work experience. They have replied that he should report to the leather goods factory in the next two days. Although he can't get the position of director, he can definitely become a production team leader. I believe that if he works there for a year or two, with our help, he will be able to climb up quickly."
Jiao Yunlan nodded with satisfaction, "Aunt Ding, I'm going home to cook. I have to go to work in the afternoon."
"Go ahead," Deputy Director Ding waved his hand at her, "Remember to make an appointment with your grandfather. My grandmother's legs hurt so much when it's cloudy and rainy. It's too hard to get an appointment with Grandpa Jiao."
"Don't worry, even if I can't make an appointment with Grandpa, I will learn a few tricks to help relieve Grandma Fang's pain," Jiao Yunlan nodded with a smile.
An Zhixia had just stopped the car, the courtyard gate opened, and an old man and a young boy smiled at her cheerfully.
"It smells so good. What are we having for dinner today?" The Jiang family's yard was not small, and was surrounded by fruit and vegetables. The vegetables originally grown in the An family's yard were confiscated by her and used to feed the channel group's employees.
Ever since the supply and marketing cooperative opened the farm, there has been no shortage of chicken and eggs at home. Recently, the number of pigs, cattle and sheep has also grown rapidly. Because the supply was insufficient at the beginning, it is temporarily only distributed to leaders and outstanding employees as unit benefits.
An Zhixia had a lot of connections with the supply and marketing cooperative, so he was naturally one of the first people to profit, and the channel team employees also got to eat meat every now and then.
"Aunt Zhang bought some crucian carp this morning and made a very delicious soup from it. Your sister-in-law could even drink two bowls of it. Come in and eat it while it's hot; it will smell fishy soon," Old Lady Jiang greeted.
At noon, Father and Mother Jiang had lunch at the company. With the addition of three children and Fang Hongye who had been staying here for a while, and occasionally her grandson and granddaughter also came back, Old Mrs. Jiang felt that life was very fulfilling and kept asking the aunt at home to make the meals more sumptuous.
Stir-fried black pork with green peppers, stir-fried green beans with vermicelli and eggs, lettuce with dipping sauce, tomatoes mixed with sugar, milky white crucian carp soup sprinkled with chopped green onions, and a bowl of crystal white rice.
An Zhixia's stomach immediately started to growl. She put down her bag, washed her hands, and sat down at the table with the children, watching the two old men eat.
After eating a bowl and a half of rice, she felt her stomach bulge slightly. She gritted her teeth and resisted the temptation and put down her chopsticks. She looked at this and that with a smile, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
"What did you do this morning?" she asked when she saw Fang Lixi put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal.
"Grandpa taught us foreign languages, grandma taught us classical Chinese, and aunt taught us singing," Fang Lixi said with a smile, "My cousin has a big study room with many books. Grandma said we can borrow books to read at home."
The two little girls ate eagerly and wanted to talk to An Zhixia.
"Eat slowly, and talk after you finish eating," An Zhixia smiled and comforted them, then turned to look at Fang Hongye's belly, "Sister-in-law, why isn't your belly bulging at all? When are you going to give birth?"
The two old people were amused. "You are more anxious than your brother. You are only two months pregnant and the baby is about the size of a peanut. How can it be obvious? Moreover, the baby will be in a different position, so the time it takes to show the baby and the size will be different. The due date is almost November."
