I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 472: Working Together to Make Things Happen

Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Working Together to Make Things Happen

"Someone in the factory has conspired with the Ice Cream Factory, planning to steal our unreleased formula." Yu Jingting was slightly excited as he placed his hand on Suizi’s shoulder.

Muma, he passionately kissed Suizi on the face.

"You are truly my god of wealth, my lucky star."

"Uh, maybe you should be a little more cautious? What if I’m wrong?" Suizi felt incredibly guilty.

She was just trying to slander Shen Liangyin, aiming to make Yu Jingting further distance himself from her.

She was far from being a lucky star, but she was definitely a jealous one.

"No, hear me out." Yu Jingting shared his findings with Suizi.

Suizi was not only his wife, but she was also a crucial business partner. She had been involved in all his business decisions. They had formed this habit when they were in the village and it had carried forward till now.

"The male voice just now, I recognised him, he’s the factory’s quality inspector, Wu Gang."

"Just from one sentence, you pegged him as a mole?"

"This floor is for factory leadership, and ordinary people wouldn’t come here. Isn’t it normal to question outsiders who come in?"

Suizi’s eyes widened, oh.

When Wu Gang came up, he only asked one sentence. When he found out it was the secretary from the Ice Cream Factory, he surprisingly didn’t say another word.

This was inherently strange.

"Is it possible that Wu Gang is slow to react, or perhaps timid? Maybe he saw an outsider coming in and didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but found an opportunity to tell you later?" Suizi asked.

Yu Jingting shook his head.

"Based on what I know about him, that’s absolutely impossible. Do you think someone who acts like a journalist in the cafeteria, scrutinizing everyone’s plates to see who has more meat, is capable of keeping a secret?"

Yu Jingting hadn’t been at the brewery long, but he had some idea of everyone’s temperament.

Suizi was surprised. She hadn’t expected their playful role-playing to uncover a significant business conspiracy.

"I didn’t expect Shen Liangyin was that kind of person, she clearly..."

Suizi didn’t know how to describe Shen Liangyin’s actions. She clearly liked Yu Jingting, yet had arranged for a mole to steal his formula. The whole situation felt off.

She had previously analyzed that Shen Liangyin was somewhat infatuated with Yu Jingting, but stealing product schematics was definitely not something someone in love would do. Had she underestimated Shen Liangyin?

"We’ve got a few more ice creams ready for release. If Shen Liangyin gets her hands on the formula, we won’t be able to outsell her even if we launch the products first. She’s clever, publicly holding a basketball event while privately resorting to these tricks."

Suizi felt that something was wrong, but could not put her finger on it.

"So, what should we do now? Should we move up the launch date?"

According to their plan, the product release was due in a few days, but due to the scarcity of some of the key raw materials, the first batch of products had been rushed.

"Let’s discuss this further when we get home. It’s about time for me to go down for the second half of the game. If I’m absent, Shen Liangyin might get suspicious. Let’s not let her know that we’re on to her plan for now."

Suizi nodded.

The brewery caught up the score in the second half, all thanks to Yu Jingting’s participation.

They were within a hair’s breadth of catching up with the opponents.

Suizi sat on the sidelines, her mind elsewhere although she still held her camera.

She was thinking about the stolen formula.

Her camera lens inadvertently focused on Shen Liangyin.

Shen Liangyin didn’t know that Suizi was observing her through her lens, her gaze fixed exclusively on Yu Jingting.

Suizi noticed that Shen Liangyin’s eyes shined when looking at Yu Jingting. She zoomed in and took a close-up shot of Shen Liangyin’s face.

Despite not having much experience with basketball, Yu Jingting’s height worked in his favor, so no one dared to block him. He managed to score consecutively.

While playing, he did not forget to glance at Suizi occasionally. Seeing Suizi holding her camera all the while, he thought that she was capturing photos of him.

In order to make sure his wife’s photos showcased his extraordinary charm, Yu Jingting deliberately struck a super handsome pose, which caused him to chuckle in his heart.

Let the camera capture his stunningly handsome face forever, to dazzle his wife.

Once the photos were developed, he planned to select the most handsome one and put it on Suizi’s work desk.

That way, whenever his darling Suizi looked up from her work, she would see his photo. The handsome him would always be there with her!

This ambition lasted until Suizi developed the photos.

Yu Jingting who was eagerly looking forward to the photos asked the photo gallery for express service. When he got home, he opened the brown paper bag, and his face turned green on seeing the contents.

"Why were you photographing Shen Liangyin? Where am I?!"

What about the handsome him who was supposed to accompany her day and night?

Suizi had taken several close-up shots of Shen Liangyin, and even Shen Liangyin’s secretary made it into a few shots.

But the youthful handsome guy in Yu Jingting’s mind, was nowhere to be seen!

"Uh, I did get you. Look, here and here...."

Suizi scratched out two photos from the pile.

Yu Jingting took a look and almost dropped dead on the spot.

One was of half his back view, and the other was shot the moment he landed after making a basket, all blurry! His face couldn’t even be made out clearly!

"Chen Hansui! Is this how you act as a wife?! After all that time you spent sitting there, this is the best you could capture?!"

Not only was there no photo of his handsome face, but of the two photos he was in, both were photobombed by others. In one, he was only half in frame. He was alright with only his butt showing, but only half of that too?

Half. Of. His. Butt.

Was he supposed to accept this?!

"Why are you so impatient? It’s not like I don’t take photos of you typically. Plus, I did this for your own good anyway."

"Photographing half a butt, for my sake?" Yu Jingting spoke gloomily.

Wang Cuihua came over leisurely, craning her neck to take a look.

"Oh my, have you been overeating? Why does your butt look so big?"

It seemed mother knew best - she could even recognize her son from seeing just half his butt.

"Isn’t that because I’m wearing padded trousers?! The very padded trousers you two had made, they’re so baggy!"

Now, everything had become a target for Yu Jingting to vent his anger on, even his own mother.

This was the indignation of a man whose attempt at appearing handsome was unrequited.

Seeing his mood, Wang Cuihua yelled:

"Hey there! Your son has been swept off his feet! He’s been eating well, and yet he’s blaming me!"

"We’ll have ribs for dinner tonight, let him gnaw on the bones."

Yu Shuisheng’s voice came from the other room.

"Jingting, look at these two pictures." Suizi held up the photos of Shen Liangyin and her secretary.

Yu Jingting took one look and quickly turned his face away.

"Just two ugly girls, nothing worth looking at."

"You’re not focusing on their looks, look at their expression."

Shen Liangyin was observing the game, Suizi purposely didn’t include Yu Jingting in the photo as she didn’t want him to notice Shen Liangyin looking at him.

The look of love in a woman’s eyes is hard to hide.

"But look at her secretary, she was looking in our direction all the time." Suizi pointed towards Shen Liangyin’s secretary.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jingting noticed as well.

"Who was the secretary looking at?"

"Wu Gang. I’ve verified several times. The angle was a bit skewed, and only he was sitting there."

The secretary and Wu Gang clearly knew each other but pretended they didn’t in front of others.

This was indeed a validation of Yu Jingting’s previous speculation that Wu Gang was in collusion with the Ice Cream Factory.
