The aunt immediately became displeased upon hearing this. "What’s wrong with him? Why can’t my nephew be the Deputy Factory Director? Who are you anyway? Are you buying Liangpi or not? If not, don’t waste my time."
"You?" Hou Tian was taken aback by her response, feeling utterly defeated. "No, that’s not what I meant. What about Sister Xiao Xian? Su Mingxian, where did she go?"
As soon as the aunt heard Su Mingxian's name, her attitude softened considerably. "You mean our Factory Director Su? She has so much on her plate right now."
Then she rambled on about how Factory Director Su was a good person, beautiful, and very warm-hearted. The admiration in her expression left Hou Tian dumbfounded.
On his way back, he felt as if he had lost his soul.
Shen Chi hadn’t been doing well either. He had put in a lot of effort to find someone but still had no useful information. However, he did receive a fantastic project.
One day, after returning from a social gathering, he found Hou Tian drinking alone, looking despondent and lost.
"Monkey, what’s going on? Did she not come again?"
Hou Tian downed a large glass of alcohol and sighed, "She didn’t come, and she won’t be coming anymore."
Shen Chi had also drunk quite a bit that day. He loosened his collar to reveal a glimpse of his collarbone and boldly sat across from him to pour himself a cup of tea. "She quit?"
"Quit? Ha! It’s not that she quit; she’s the Factory Director now."
Pfft—
Shen Chi Yi nearly spat out his tea. "Factory Director?"
The monkey chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Yeah, surprising, right? She’s only been in business for a little over half a month and has already opened a Food Processing Plant. She’s even started a food truck franchise, and now she has dozens of employees under her."
Shen Chi frowned at the mention. "Food truck franchise? That’s a new term."
"Isn’t it? All those food trucks are sourcing supplies from her factory. A whole bunch of people are helping her make money. Brother Chi Zi, how does a country girl come up with so many ideas? I—" He paused, frustration evident as he slapped his thigh and added fiercely, "And that Wang Daguo! He was just a lackey before, and now look at him—he's already the Deputy Factory Director."
His face was a clear canvas of anger and jealousy.
Just then, Shen Chi abruptly stood up and grabbed him by the collar, his eyes sharp enough to kill. "What did you say? Say it again?"
Hou Tian was taken aback. "Chi, Brother Chi Zi, let’s talk this out. I—"
"Tell me, what did you just say that Deputy Factory Director's name is? Wang Daguo?" Shen Chi's gaze was as cold as a blade.
Hou Tian was instantly terrified, his voice trembling. "Yes, that’s right! It’s Wang Daguo! Brother Chi Zi, you—"
The sudden intensity made Shen Chi Yi feel dizzy, and he fell back into his chair. Hou Tian was left in shock. "Brother Chi Zi, are you okay? Here, drink some water."
...
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was mid-June. The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and Shen Chi was about to make an appearance. Once he divorced Shen Chi, he planned to buy their daughter a big house; her life would only get better from there.
Su Mingxian felt elated as she finished counting her money, but little did she know that a thief had broken into her home in the middle of the night.
If it weren't for her vigilance, she couldn't imagine what might have happened.
Even so, the chili oil she made yesterday was nearly ruined, and looking at the chaotic kitchen made her blood boil.
Su Mingxian gripped the fire poker tightly, a chill radiating from her entire being.
Sister Liu, trembling and wrapped in her clothes, rushed out and asked, "Xiao Su, what happened? Where's the thief?"
"He ran away," Su Mingxian replied coldly, staring at the front door.
Sister Liu looked astonished. "Ran away? With all the neighbors awake, where could he possibly go?"
As this thought crossed her mind, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Could it be an insider?"
