"Heart disease? I remember it being high blood pressure. Are you so unfilial that you can't even remember what illness your own mother had? This daughter is a waste of your time, she's so unfilial."
Who knows, she might have instigated Lu Yi to commit the crime, so that you, Aunt, would be the only one who obeyed her. It seems she only spoils her son, and constantly beats and scolds this daughter. Tsk tsk tsk~
Jiang Yu embellished the story, recounting all the details Lu Yi had told the original owner about her family. She told it so convincingly that the old lady believed it.
"You brat! So that's why you didn't say a word when we were talking about getting your brother released. Do you really think I'm dead? Let me tell you, even if your brother is gone, I'll still beat you up however I want."
The old lady was about to hit her when Lu Yi's younger sister ran away while explaining:
"I didn't, I didn't!"
But the other party wouldn't listen at all. After leaving Su Yujing's office, they chased him all the way to the gate, leaving even the security guards who came to chase them away stunned. During this time, because Lu Yi's sister had difficulty walking, she was slapped several times, and her cries of pain were useless.
It wasn't until the two men were outside the factory gate, lying on the ground panting, that they realized they had been tricked. They tried to go back in to demand an explanation, but were stopped by security guards.
"If you go in again, don't blame us for being impolite."
They were both strong and healthy. The two women glanced at them shakily, then dejectedly went home. On the way back, they continued to blame each other, saying that if they hadn't distrusted each other, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Well, that's it, we came all this way for nothing.
In the office, Su Yujing looked at Jiang Yu's pouty face and found it rather cute, causing a smile to involuntarily creep onto her lips. Realizing what was happening, she quickly regained her composure and spoke:
"I heard about your clothing store being shut down. It was done on purpose. It's an order from above, and there's nothing I can do to help you."
Upon receiving the news, Su Yujing was shocked. He couldn't understand how a small clothing store could have offended anyone. Furthermore, Jiang Yu had always been busy between Qingyun and the department store; he had never heard of her knowing anyone there, let alone offending anyone.
“I know I didn’t come here to ask for your help. It’s just that it’s not good to be idle at home all day after the shop is shut down. I’m hoping to see if Mr. Su has any orders to assign to me so I can earn some extra money.”
She'd already given all her commission to Shi Shumei, and currently, apart from Lai Qingyun, the family had no other income. They were hoping to earn money to buy a house, but who knew there would be so many expenses? If only a windfall would fall into their laps!
Ideas are always beautiful. Just as Jiang Yu was having a sweet dream, the man spoke leisurely:
"If you want them, I do have some. Several middle schools nearby need school uniforms, and factory workers also need to order summer work clothes. Go to Luo Zewen and find a few that you like."
After saying that, Su Yujing lowered his head and continued to look at the documents. He had a lot of work to do these past two days, and Jiang Yu's arrival was a good opportunity to help and lighten his load.
Thank you.
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, she turned and left gracefully. After she went out, she saw a group of onlookers staring at the door expectantly, thinking they would see her looking disheveled. Instead, she looked all smiles, which made them wonder about the relationship between the two.
After all, this has escalated to the company level, which is very bad for the company's image. If it were anyone else, President Su would have fired them long ago, unlike now.
Jiang Yu didn't bother with them; after all, everyone has curiosity. Back when she was at the design company, she often gossiped with her girlfriends about their boss—it was perfectly normal.
Back in his office, he asked Luo Zewen for the plans and selected a few challenging clothing design drafts to keep.
I turned on my computer and drew for more than half an hour. Just as I was about to stretch, the phone rang.
Looking at the display screen, a string of numbers made her uneasy. This wasn't an internal company phone number; in fact, not many people knew this number. Could it be that Commander Bai had found out about her call after returning home and had a change of heart?
Did Shen Ying handle the matter properly and then specifically inform her?
Completely puzzled, she waited until the phone stopped ringing. Just as she hesitated whether to call back, the phone rang again. This time, without a second thought, she answered it.
"Hello? Is this Comrade Jiang Yu?"
The woman's voice sounded to be about the same age as Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu gave a soft "hmm."
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Commander Bai's niece, Bai Ling. I heard that your clothing store was shut down this morning. Although I don't know the exact reason, I think it must be related to Comrade Shen Ying."
Comrade Jiang Yu, I think we should meet and sit down to talk about this properly. Otherwise, it will only affect more people; isn't the clothing store a perfect example? What do you think?
Bai Ling's words, seemingly intended to resolve the issue, were in reality a way of pressuring Jiang Yu. The underlying meaning was simply:
If you don't come, something even crazier is about to happen. As long as you can handle it, you can ignore it indefinitely.
Both were intelligent people, and they knew when to stop. After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Yu said expressionlessly:
"Miss Bai, please give me an address."
She knew Bai Ling must be in the city right now, waiting for her to find out the exact location before she went there. Bai Ling must have made thorough preparations. Of course, she also needed to think carefully about how to respond.
After all, Bai Ling is the main character, and she has a lot of protagonist advantages. If something happens, her story might end prematurely here.
"See you at the coffee shop on the back street of the department store in a bit."
After Bai Ling finished speaking, she slowly hung up the phone. She was very satisfied with the call, especially the woman's concise and to-the-point answer, which saved her from having to ask a lot of troublesome questions.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but scoff:
A coffee shop—no wonder she's the eldest daughter of the Bai family; she really dares to choose a location. You have to understand, coffee shops were very luxurious back then, mainly catering to wealthy people and foreigners. In a city like hers, it's quite an achievement that one hasn't gone out of business.
After all, the city is small, and there aren't that many people who meet the required standards.
After tidying up the table, Jiang Yu was about to head out to her appointment. She bumped into Su Yujing, who was also leaving, at the corner. After a brief exchange, she learned that this man was also going to the same coffee shop.
Since we were going together anyway, I figured I might as well hitch a ride.
"President Su, would you mind if we went together?"
Jiang Yu's words clearly startled the man. He looked at her and smiled knowingly:
“No problem, Luo Zewen, find someone to drive.”
