I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 495: The Main Event Begins

Chapter 495: Chapter 495: The Main Event Begins

Chen Lijun "accidentally" leaked the news to Fan Huang.

"Leaders like you don’t need to concern yourself with such trifles as these. Just sell the fabric to me."

"I happen to have someone heading there at the moment; I’ll have him bring it to Suizi."

"Alright, you go ahead and keep busy."

"... Could you at least pretend to entertain me a little?" As soon as she gets what she wants, she flips her face. How ruthless.

"All my thoughts are on my daughter. If she is not well, I am not happy. My poor maiden doesn’t even have a good father, anyone can trample on her, even the maidens of any officials dare to snatch her man."

"I understand, I’ll handle it."

That’s exactly what Chen Lijun wanted to hear. As soon as she heard the words, she immediately stood up with a beaming smile.

"I just remembered I have some good tea here. Why don’t you have some before you leave, Leader?"

Fan Huang gave a bitter smile. If he doesn’t handle this matter properly, she’s not going to offer him tea but probably pesticide instead.

Not every word Chen Lijun said to him was heartfelt, yet one thing was certainly true: If Suizi was unhappy, she would be unhappy as well.

As soon as he gets back, he will look into it. He wanted to see which official’s daughter dared to bully Suizi, and how big of an officer they were.

"If you’re not going to drink tea then please leave. I have an appointment..."

"An appointment?"

"Just an afternoon tea, Leader, please don’t overthink it."

"Overthink it"... Yeah, right. Fan Huang narrowed his eyes. Very well, Chen Lijun, you pushed me into this.

...

On the day of the open house, Shen Liangyin dressed up meticulously.

She knew Yu Jingting would come. She wanted to leave a deep impression on him.

She wanted to make Yu Jingting regret for missing out on such a perfect woman like her.

But the moment Yu Jingting appeared, Shen Liangyin was slightly taken aback.

In the crowd of the delegation, he stood out like a crane among chickens. His tall stature made him stand out.

Even though he was just wearing a beer factory uniform, it couldn’t conceal his charisma.

Seeing such a dazzling Yu Jingting, Shen Liangyin couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Chen Hansui truly is not a considerate woman. Even on such an important occasion, she didn’t have Yu Jingting dressed up. He showed up in his work uniform.

Though labor is most glorious indeed, for an occasion like this, one should dress up a bit to give a good impression to superiors.

When Shen Liangyin’s gaze fell behind Yu Jingting and she saw Suizi, also in a beer factory uniform, she was practically breathing fire.

Suizi was also wearing that baggy beer factory uniform, but thanks to her height, she could pull it off and it didn’t mar her attractiveness in the least.

Standing beside Yu Jingting, they presented a visually harmonious pair, like a couple in matching outfits.

What truly caught the eye, though, were the scarves around their necks. Matching red hand-knitted scarves immediately identified them as a couple.

This was Chen Lijun’s idea.

As for outfit coordination, Suizi certainly wouldn’t have time to prepare.

So, let’s go all in.

If it’s about annoying your rival, you don’t need to look good. Just pick the shabbiest clothes, and no matter how shabby they are, as long as they match with Yu Jingting’s, it should be enough to infuriate Shen Liangyin.

When Suizi saw the fiery look in Shen Liangyin’s eyes, the little devil in her heart doubled over with laughter. Asking her mother had indeed been the right move, this tactic was indeed useful.

"Factory Director Yu is so flexible, bringing his family along on the tour," Shen Liangyin extended her hand with a hidden barb in her words.

Suizi also extended her hand and shook it on behalf of Yu Jingting.

"I heard Director Shen is particularly good. I shamelessly came over to learn some advanced experiences."

"My wife is a special correspondent for the newspaper. Upon hearing of the leaders’ visit, she insisted on muddling through, saying that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime news story she couldn’t miss. Afraid that the leaders would dislike it, she even borrowed a uniform to disguise herself. Look at her now, doesn’t look like a worker at all, recognized at the first glance, right?"

Yu Jingting seemingly joked lightly as he revealed Suizi’s identity without subtlety.

Upon hearing Suizi was a journalist, group members immediately asked for her pen name. As soon as Suizi disclosed, a man who looked like a secretary bends over and whispers a few words in the leader’s ear.

The leader’s attitude immediately became gracious.

In order to supplement her family’s income, Suizi regularly submits written pieces and has done quite a few translations. But compared to news scripts and translations, her serialized novel (mainly exalting Yu Jingting), has gained some fame. The leader recognized the name and was hence polite to Suizi.

You should never offend those who wield the pen. Who knows what they’ll write?

Shen Liangyin initially wanted to dig a pit and ridicule Yu Jingting for bringing his spouse inappropriately. However, she ended up shifting the focus onto Suizi, which greatly irked her.

Seeing that Shen Liangyin was getting upset, Suizi’s inner mischief maker started jumping around with joy.

Although she admitted she was being childish, stomping on a love rival was indeed a delightful experience.

The group moved towards the factory. Shen Liangyin adeptly stayed by the leader’s side, answering questions fluidly and behaving cheerfully, truly displaying the dexterity of a seasoned veteran.

Suizi understood and realized that Shen Liangyin’s vigorous performance held some elements of trying to resist Jingting’s affection.

"What are you thinking?" Yu Jingting strolled leisurely beside Suizi. The two didn’t squeeze to the front and were chatting at the tail end of the group.

"I was thinking, women who can hate out of love are really scary. The way she looks at me is as if she wants to gobble me up."

"Let her look. Her gaze can’t compare to yours."

Suizi laughed and shoved him lightly: "You’re such a smooth talker."

This warm interaction was caught by Shen Liangyin who happened to glance back.

She was working hard to show off her superior side, but Yu Jingting hadn’t looked at her at all from beginning to end and was instead showing PDA with Suizi!

Was this a factory visit, or a blatant show of putting a knife in her heart? Shen Liangyin almost choked on her laughter, gritted her teeth, and got even angrier.

Chang Ling, the secretary by Shen Liangyin’s side, noticed and softly tugged her sleeve, signaling her to calm down.

Shen Liangyin’s father had specifically emphasized that there should be no issues today, as this was crucial for Shen Liangyin’s promotion.

The reason for going to such lengths to steal the beer factory’s formula, besides suppressing Jingting’s influence, was primarily to boost Shen Liangyin.

The entire inspection group could be described as a huge show organized by the Shen family to elevate Shen Liangyin’s prestige.

The intention was to use other sacrificed factories, like the trailing beer factory, to highlight Shen Liangyin’s excellence.

Only in this way, her upcoming promotion would seem justified.

Chang Ling reminded Shen Liangyin not to let personal feelings ruin big plans. The upcoming workshop tour was the highlight of the day.

Shen Liangyin steadied her emotions and addressed the group,

"Our factory’s technicians have spent half a year developing several outstanding ice creams. Today is our first large-scale production. You’re all in luck. Please have a taste and give us valuable suggestions - particularly Factory Director Yu. I heard you’re also working on ice cream, I’m sure you have many insights."

Suizi’s mouth curved up as she knew that the "half a year researched ice cream", Shen Liangyin mentioned were stolen from the beer factory.

The main event was finally happening.
