Everything is back on track. It is summer now. The weather is extremely hot and humid, and cicadas are chirping in the trees.
In an industrial area outside Shanghai, workers wearing safety helmets rode bicycles toward their factories. There were tens of thousands of them in a large group, which looked particularly spectacular.
A black car was driving on the wide avenue and stopped in front of a newly renovated factory building.
A tall man in a white shirt got out from the back seat, holding a black umbrella, came to the other side, opened the door, carefully protected the person's head, and welcomed her down.
Su Nan was wearing a white long dress, her long hair was tied into a bun, she had light makeup on her face, and her skin was incredibly white.
She frowned slightly and kept fanning herself with the folding fan in her hand, complaining, "Isn't this weather too hot? Make way, let's go in quickly."
"Okay." Zhou Rang, who was standing by and holding an umbrella for her, quickly half-armed her shoulders and led her into the factory.
The newly built factory building was spacious and bright, clean and sanitary. The employees and products were already in place. They arrived at the right time and work had just started not long ago.
Every worker wore uniform work clothes, a blue hat, and wrapped his hair tightly. He sat at his workstation and did his job skillfully.
While visiting, Zhou Rang and Su Nan listened to the manager introducing the work content of each factory area.
Perhaps because they knew that a leader would come to inspect the next day, everyone held their heads high and looked straight ahead. Even when a new face came, no one looked at him or her randomly.
"In such hot weather, do you want to add a few more fans? I see several employees are sweating." Su Nan turned his head to look at Zhou Rang.
Zhou Rang obviously noticed this problem as well. He nodded when he heard it, waved for the manager, and whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening to this, the manager nodded and said, "I'll have someone arrange it later."
Zhou Rang rented this factory after he bought the cosmetics company. All the staff were hired on a temporary basis and started working after two weeks of training. Although it was a bit hasty, there was nothing he could do about it.
The purchase amount and initial capital were so huge that they almost exhausted all his working capital. If he did not start production quickly, he would continue to be at a loss.
Fortunately, although our work efficiency and productivity are a bit low now because we have just started, they are gradually getting on the right track.
Su Nan's "rich" has obtained all the legal documents that are legal and compliant, so she no longer has to worry about being questioned about her products being "three-no". As long as the products produced here are completed, she can immediately put them on the shelves and sell them in the store.
Not long ago, she invested in opening several new stores in various emerging business districts in Shanghai. Although she took out loans and incurred debts, she believed that it would not take long for her to make back her investment.
The days were moving in a good direction step by step, and her wallet was getting fatter and fatter. She was getting closer to the life of a wealthy woman with no worries about food and clothing like her former lover.
Of course, all of this would not have been possible without Zhou Rang's help. At least for this cosmetics company, if she didn't need it, Zhou Rang might not have bought it, resulting in him being left with nothing now.
But Su Nan knew in his heart that the profits that this cosmetics company could bring to Zhou Rang in the future would definitely not be low, and this was a business that was sure to make a profit.
Thinking of this, Su Nan tilted the folding fan in his hand and fanned Zhou Rang.
Zhou Rang noticed this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips curved upward.
Just as the two of them finished their inspection and were about to leave, Su Nan suddenly saw a familiar figure among the female workers. He subconsciously walked towards that person, patted her shoulder, and asked uncertainly, "Sister Xiaoyu?"
The man was originally packing things, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and met Su Nan's eyes.
"Nannan."
The people around looked over and looked at Su Nan in disbelief. Isn't this the big star? How could he appear here? How could he know their colleagues?
Obviously no one will answer this question.
In the lounge, Su Nan and Liu Yu sat on the sofa hand in hand, happily asking each other about their recent situation.
"Why did you return to Shanghai without telling me? I thought you were still in Xiaojia Village." Su Nan held Liu Yu's hand tightly. Seeing her friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Hearing this, Liu Yu was stunned for a second before he smiled dryly: "I also went to Shanghai and just returned to Shanghai. Thanks to the information you gave me before, I was able to be admitted to Shanghai University. Although my score was just above the passing line, I got in anyway."
"Look at what you said. This is all due to your own hard work and love of learning. My books are nothing compared to you. By the way, where is Brother Wang?" Su Nan waved her hands quickly. She couldn't accept this credit.
When Liu Yu heard Su Nan mention Wang Hongzhi, his eyelashes trembled. He suddenly lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Nan realized that something was wrong, and felt uneasy for some reason. He did not ask any further questions, but just held Liu Yu's hand a little harder, silently giving her strength.
It was unknown how long it took before Liu Yu's voice, with a sobbing tone, slowly rang out: "I usually ask him to read more books when he has time, but he doesn't listen to me. He just says that reading is useless."
"But who knew the college entrance exam would suddenly resume? He studied for a month but still failed. The day I learned the result, I was very happy but also very sad, because if I went to study, we would have to live apart."
"He supported me in going to school and gave me all the money in the family, saying that he would come to accompany me the next day. But when it was time to register, he fell seriously ill because he saved a little girl who fell into the river. When he recovered, he missed the registration time."
At this point, Liu Yuyi burst into tears, and Su Nan quickly got her a tissue.
"I remember that there are now quotas for educated youth to return to the city. Brother Wang can still return to Shanghai this way."
Liu Yu shook his head and sobbed, "There are only a few quotas for educated youth to return to the city every year, and they have to be divided among several villages. Only Brother Mao returned from Xiaojia Village, and it is probably not his turn next year, after all, there are so many old educated youth ahead of him."
Su Nan didn't know how to comfort her at this time, and could only hug Liu Yu to comfort her. It was indeed very torturous for a couple to live apart, but there was nothing else they could do now.
"Aren't you going to school? Why do you come here to work?" Su Nan wanted to change the subject to make Liu Yu feel better, so she asked the question she wanted to ask just now.
"My home is nearby and the school is on vacation. I had nothing to do at home and I happened to see the job posting so I came here to try. I didn't expect to be hired. This is a private factory and I can quit after a few months when school starts. It's more free than other places."
Liu Yu forced a smile and slowly began to explain.
"So that's how it is." Su Nan nodded.
"What about you, Nan Nan? Why are you here? It's quite strange that a big star suddenly appears here."
Liu Yu looked up and down at Su Nan, who was dressed casually yet exquisitely, then looked at his own work clothes, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
