Chapter 1094: Chapter 432: Wen Ruan? Wen Ruan!

The low rumble of engines echoed down the street.

Lights flashed across the sleek black body of the Audi RS6, giving it a cold gleam.

The car slowly decelerated and pulled into the parking lot outside the Oasis Garden Community.

The car door was pushed open, and Wen Ruan stepped out, carrying an LV SPEEDY 35.

With the “tap tap tap” of footsteps and glancing gazes, she strode into the east gate of the community.

Because her Lynk & Co 06 was parked in the underground spot here, the new car had to stay outside for the time being.

However, Wen Ruan had already contacted the property management, planning to buy another parking spot.

“Ding——” The elevator doors slowly opened.

Wen Ruan grabbed the door handle, opened the door of 1702, tossed her bag aside casually, and called out, “I’m back.”

Qian Guixiang came out of the kitchen with a big smile, “Ruannuan, is work tiring? Dinner’s almost ready, what would you like to drink?”

“Why do you make me sound like a guest? I’ll get whatever I want to drink myself.”

“Oh, it’s just because I care about you!” Qian Guixiang hurriedly hung her daughter’s bag and brought out her slippers.

Looking at her enthusiastic mom, Wen Ruan smiled helplessly, changed her shoes, opened the fridge and took out a bottle of juice, sipping it slowly.

Ever since signing the Family Trust, her mother had completely let go.

Now, besides urging her to have children sooner, she showed her care every day through WeChat and phone calls.

It was like being back in school again.

“By the way, Ruannuan.” Qian Guixiang held her daughter’s hand and said with a smile, “I’ve recently signed up for a maternity care training class, planning to train for two months. Whenever you need me, just tell me, and I’ll move to Shengyuan Good Place to take care of you.”

“Oh my goodness!” Wen Ruan held her forehead with one hand, “Please, just take it easy. Didn’t I transfer 200,000 to you? Wouldn’t it be nice to take my dad on a trip?”

“We’re not in a rush, and your dad simply has a workaholic nature. He doesn’t feel secure without a job, and lately, he’s been discussing water and electrical renovations with your uncle.”

Wen Ruan said exasperatedly, “You two really don’t have a moment’s peace. Isn’t someone about to take over the printing factory? Why bother with all this?”

At this moment, Wen Jianxin brought in some dishes from the kitchen, saying, “Recently, we’ve looked into it. The printing factory has too many issues, it can’t be saved. Everyone says the new owner bought the factory for the land, and talks of production line upgrades are just empty promises. Necessary layoffs will still happen.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Wen Ruan replied playfully, smiling with her eyes.

Qian Guixiang pulled out a chair in the dining room and invited, “All right, let’s eat.”

The dinner was very sumptuous, with home-cooked dishes Wen Ruan loved and some marinated snacks.

The family of three enjoyed a pleasant meal.

Wen Ruan discreetly chatted with her father about Yanbei Printing Factory.

Wen Jianxin was one of the earliest technicians at the company.

He worked his way from the printing workshop to the processing workshop, and three years ago, he was reassigned to the equipment maintenance department, responsible for the daily upkeep of production equipment.

He was very familiar with the current plight of Yanbei Printing Factory.

In the early days, thanks to good government relations, the printing factory developed smoothly, with a large number of fixed orders.

Later, they misjudged the market development and took loans to buy a batch of offset printing machines and die-cutting machines.

Who would have thought that soon after, competitors began switching to digital printing, embracing the e-commerce boom.

At that time, since Yanbei Printing Factory still had sufficient orders, they didn’t pursue restructuring, missing the opportunity.

Falling behind step by step, orders began to dwindle, and costs soared, compounded by the outdated equipment gradually being phased out.

This ultimately led to their present situation.

The debt problem has now fully erupted, involving banks, suppliers, and employees.

They can’t even pay the bank interest anymore, leaving only the 35-acre industrial land as their most valuable asset.

As the conversation ended, Wen Jianxin sighed with emotion.

Yanbei Printing Factory had experienced glorious times, with close to 400 employees at its peak and an annual output value exceeding 85 million yuan.

Though the industry’s profitability was low, it supported a large group of people.

Including their family.

It was once their pride and hope.

Even after being let down by urban renewal, they could still persevere.

Who would have thought they’d end up in such a debt-laden situation?

Recalling past moments, Wen Ruan also sighed with emotion.

She’s indeed very grateful to Su Yu in this regard.

She hopes the changes Su Yu brings can help the printing factory survive and gradually upgrade and transform for the better.

…

After dinner, Qian Guixiang went to the kitchen to clean up.

Wen Jianxin carried a box of pure milk and a box of cupcakes from the balcony and placed them at the entrance by the door.

Wen Ruan curiously asked, “Dad, what are you going to do?”

“I’m going to check on Pingshun.” Wen Jianxin sighed and explained, “He’s been doing food deliveries lately. Last week he got into an accident with an electric tricycle, was hospitalized for a few days, and just got out this afternoon. I’m going to visit him at home.”

Wen Ruan was surprised, “Oh? Was it serious?”

“It’s okay, just a mild concussion.”

Wen Ruan stood up immediately, “Let’s go, Dad, I’ll accompany you.”

Being close in age, she and Wen Pingshun had a good relationship since childhood.

Especially in school, he helped her resolve many troublesome disputes.

It’s a kindness she remembers.

Previously, she promised to help arrange work for him, but due to the printing factory’s severe debt issues, the acquisition has been slow.

This promise has yet to be fulfilled, so this visit can give them some peace of mind.

A few minutes later, the pink Lynk & Co 06 drove out of the underground garage.

After a while, they arrived at the Huishui Home community near the North Third Ring.
