Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 548: 548 Female Protagonist’s Calamity

”I was just so angry at the time. Didn’t think much about it, but if it was an anonymous report, it wouldn’t have had the same effect.”

”You’re just too impatient. We haven’t even figured out a plan, and you already started taking action. Truly admire your quick thinking.”

”I was forced into it, there was no choice. Just had to hurry.

Alright, Brother Ding, I’m heading back now. If anything comes up, just call me directly.”

Jiang Xinyu returned to the textile factory, humming a tune, and lay down in the back resting room.

Just one week left, then I can resign and leave. How great is that?

Jiang Xinyu was filled with joy. She unknowingly fell asleep until the work bell rang, waking her up groggily.

She felt that this matter was behind her, so she relaxed completely and could finally sleep soundly.

In the afternoon, there were some vouchers that needed Jiang Xinyu’s signature at the finance department for reimbursement.

By the time evening came, she headed straight home, thinking about how she wanted to eat fried rice with eggs, and decided that’s what she’d have tonight. Plus a bowl of tomato and egg soup, perfect!

She had just finished eating when she heard a knock at the door. Who could it be at this hour?

”Who is it?”

”It’s me, Qian Jun.”

Jiang Xinyu quickly went to open the door. ”Mr. Qian, why are you here at this time?”

”There’s some excitement happening. Huang Hongwei and Kong Mengjie have been arrested. If it had been during the day, I would have had to step in, but since they were taken after work hours from home, there’s nothing I can do.

By the way, I haven’t eaten yet. I can smell something delicious.”

”Egg fried rice, want some?”

”Sure, after eating, I can accompany you to check out the commotion.”

Jiang Xinyu laughed and invited Qian Jun inside. The egg fried rice was very quick. In five minutes, Qian Jun was eating dinner, and Jiang Xinyu served it in a basin, with six eggs, but no soup; it wasn’t convenient to serve the tomatoes at this time. So she just gave him a bowl of hot water.

Qian Jun ate very contentedly. ”Your cooking is really delicious.”

”That’s because I use plenty of good ingredients, right? This is premium rice, six eggs, look at how oily it is, how could it not be tasty?”

”Yeah, you treat life seriously, not shortchanging yourself is right. Alright, should we head out?”

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, ”I’m not going. By the way, will Huang Hongwei be released tomorrow?”

Qian Jun shook his head, ”I don’t know about that, but he probably won’t be able to keep his job.”

”Exactly, a lot of people were eyeing his position, now they have something against him, how could they let him come back?”

Jiang Xinyu remembered in the original book, both Kong Mengjie and Shen Xueqi were affected, but they went to live happily in the rural mountains, escaping the disaster.

But now the male lead isn’t Shen Xueqi, just don’t know what will happen to Huang Hongwei and them.

If they can’t make it in the city, there’s a good chance they’ll go back to Huang Hongwei’s hometown, making it awkward for Huang Yi and her son.

”Why not go?”

”It’s definitely not going to be fun, I hate the crowd, and besides, it’s just a scandal, nothing new.”

”Wasted my effort to come find you and go together.”

”As a factory director, is it really okay for you to go see the spectacle? Hurry back, I have people monitoring my place, or else bad rumors might spread.”

Qian Jun laughed and stood up, ”Alright, I’ll let the security department check it out and tell you tomorrow.”

After seeing off Qian Jun, Jiang Xinyu lay on her bed, feeling so comfortable, warm and cozy, sighing with satisfaction. She wouldn’t go out just to see the spectacle and freeze.

The next day, she woke up, washed up, and went outside to eat. She wanted fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, so she went directly to eat outside instead of buying back.

At the breakfast shop, she ordered two fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu pudding.

Sitting down, she heard the people eating talking about the scandal from last night.

”You don’t know, that woman was with that man early on.”

Wow, Zhang Bao Hua did a good job spreading the news. It’s out already?

Jiang Xinyu wasn’t in a hurry now, she took her time eating while listening to the gossip. Being late once wouldn’t hurt.

”Yeah, I have a relative at the textile factory who said they were caught directly in the room.”

Some people started telling bawdy jokes.

”By the way, did you know? The report was made by the man’s son.”

”Oh, this kid isn’t filial.”

”What are you talking about? That man didn’t behave like a father at all. I heard he only provides for his ex-wife and three kids for one year, and once the mistress had a child, he gradually stopped caring about the other side.

There is a birth obligation but no upbringing. You talk easily about filial piety, but it must be deserved.”

At this point, that person didn’t speak. Jiang Xinyu was quite satisfied with this situation since it could help Huang Yi’s reputation a bit, also a sort of compensation for Huang Yi.

Actually, even if Huang Yi didn’t take action, she would find someone to do it herself. Mengjie shouldn’t harm her without facing consequences; she would retaliate more aggressively.

But now Huang Yi was involved, he hasn’t established his family yet, and his siblings and mother are still in the village, which is the Huang Family’s root. Even if they don’t think highly of Huang Hongwei, they won’t be happy with Huang Yi doing this.

That’s why Jiang Xinyu instructed Zhang Bao Hua to help boost Huang Yi’s popularity so that his reputation wouldn’t suffer too much.

After listening for a while longer, Jiang Xinyu left.

”Vice Factory Director Jiang, why are you late today?”

”Addicted to the excitement and forgot the time.”

”Vice Factory Director Jiang, I went to see it yesterday too.” Xiao Liu said with a grin.

”It’s getting late. I need to attend a meeting, then I’ll come to find you. You can tell me all about it.”

Xiao Liu nodded with a smile.

The morning meeting missed Huang Hongwei. One of his arch-rivals directly suggested dismissing Huang Hongwei. ”Mr. Qian, this is affecting the reputation of our textile factory; we absolutely can’t condone it.

Moreover, his absence at work will affect the production in the workshop.”

Qian Jun nodded. ”Director Liu is right, I’ll consider this issue, but I’ll still check out the situation before making a decision.

After all, Director Huang has been with the factory for a long time; if he hasn’t achieved results, he has put in the effort. We can’t let the workers feel discouraged.”

At that point, everyone fell silent, no one could guarantee they wouldn’t face issues in the future. If the factory disregarded everything, it truly would be disheartening, and Qian Jun’s way seemed very good.

After the morning meeting ended, Qian Jun rode his bike directly to find Wu Changlin.

”Hello, I’m Qian Jun from the textile factory, are you the new Director Wu?”

”Yes, Mr. Qian, do you have something to discuss?”
