Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Learning Some Martial Arts

The moment Qin Jiao finished speaking, more than twenty people ran straight for the office. Qin Jiao said to Chen Sheng, "Accountant Chen, could you please go over, get a headcount, and find out what’s going on with them?"

Chen Sheng looked at Qin Jiao with deep admiration. ’Is this young woman really from a small county town? Someone who’s never worked a day in her life?’

’No wonder she’s the one Boss Zheng thinks so highly of.’

He nodded hurriedly. "Of course, I’m on it!"

The disturbance passed just like that. Qin Jiao helped Accountant Chen register the workers who hadn’t been assigned to a group. By the time the afternoon list was finalized, all of the agitators Shen Zhengfeng had left behind, along with a few other troublemakers, had been identified.

Shen Yi arrived just then, and Qin Jiao handed him the list. "What about the people Shen Zhengfeng left behind, including Xu Da and the other troublemakers? Are we paying them?"

Shen Yi said, "Pay the troublemakers and then fire them. Every factory has lazy freeloaders like that; we just won’t employ them. But as for the ones Shen Zhengfeng left behind, don’t pay them. If they come to cause trouble, tell them to go ask Shen Zhengfeng for their wages."

’They helped Shen Zhengfeng cause trouble and turned a perfectly good clothing factory into a chaotic mess, and they still expect us to pay them? In their dreams!’

Qin Jiao nodded. "I was thinking the same thing. But we’ll need to arrange for some security guards at the factory. They can shut down any internal troublemakers and protect the workers in case anyone from the outside tries to cause problems."

Shen Yi replied, "We’ll look into it. It’d be best if they have some fighting skills."

Qin Jiao said, "Oh, right, Shen Yi, didn’t you mention there was a place to learn Taekwondo? And that you’d take me?"

"Yeah. When do you want to start?"

Qin Jiao decided she should learn some self-defense. At the very least, it would keep her in shape, and she figured things were only going to get more complicated from here on out. But she couldn’t let her piano lessons fall by the wayside, either.

Seeing it was nearly one o’clock, Shen Yi said, "Jiao Jiao, you must be hungry. Let’s go get something to eat at the cafeteria."

"Yeah, okay. I haven’t had a chance to see how my parents have the cafeteria set up yet anyway."

Food is the first necessity of the people. With the clothing factory about to resume normal operations, the cafeteria would have to be ready to serve three proper meals a day starting tomorrow.

Qin Jiao had full confidence in her parents’ character and their cooking, but she worried that other problems might arise.

As the two of them walked along the factory’s paved road, workers they passed would greet them, calling out, "Director, Vice Director." People were gradually starting to stop underestimating the young couple.

’If this pair could lead them all to prosperity, they’d be willing to call them their own grandparents!’

After Qin Jiao and Shen Yi had passed, one of the female workers turned to look after them and remarked, "The Director and his wife may be young and good-looking, but they’re truly capable and bold!"

"Isn’t that the truth! No wonder they both got into North City University!"

When people look down on you, your youth is a weakness. It means you’re inexperienced, incapable, and have no hope of running a factory well. freewebnσvel.cøm

But when they start to respect you, that same youth becomes your greatest asset. ’To be so capable at such a young age—what will they be like in the future?’

People’s opinions can change in an instant.

By the time Qin Jiao and Shen Yi reached the cafeteria, the lunch rush was over, but a large crowd had gathered. A heavyset woman was in a standoff with Su Yun.

The heavyset woman had a smile on her face, but her words were anything but polite. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

She said, "I know you’re the Vice Director’s mother and the Director’s mother-in-law. But I’ve been managing this cafeteria for five or six years. You can’t just show up and push me out, can you?"
