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

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Shen Yi, Are You Ever Going to Stop?

Qin Jiao took a pen and paper from her pocket and jotted down some notes. "After these last few incidents, we should have weeded out most of the people Shen Zhengfeng left behind," she said. "But there are definitely still some stragglers, so we’ll have to keep an eye on things for a while longer. Also, we can start promoting some people from our current staff."

When Shen Zhengfeng ran the clothing factory, it was all about cronies and connections.

For example, Xu Da used to date Shen Xiaoya. And the husband of that Feng Fang from earlier used to be Shen Zhengfeng’s driver.

And then there was Li Tao...

Shen Yi looked at the list of names. "The presence of these people must have suppressed a lot of genuinely talented individuals," he said. "Our next step is to find those people and promote them."

"Exactly. Shen Yi, I’m realizing we’re really getting more and more in sync."

Shen Yi gave a light chuckle. "That’s mainly because my wife is so exceptional."

"...Are you ever going to stop?" ’He keeps calling me ’wife’ over and over, taking advantage of the crowd so I can’t refute him.’

Qin Jiao was utterly speechless.

’If he was so eager to call me that, why didn’t he say it even once in our past life?’

She glanced around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said, "Do you remember what you used to call me?"

Shen Yi paused. He didn’t want to recall things from their past life. After all, he had hardly done anything right for Jiao Jiao back then.

Even now, he was still atoning for his past, and Jiao Jiao hadn’t fully accepted him.

He said awkwardly, "I don’t remember."

"Well, I remember. The thing you called me most often was ’hey’."

"..."

Fortunately, at that moment, Qin Zhonghui finished cooking the noodles and brought them over, resolving Shen Yi’s ’crisis’.

It was a bowl of wonderfully chewy, hand-pulled noodles, topped with boiled greens, a savory mixture of stir-fried pork with dried radish, and a glistening, golden fried egg.

In addition, Qin Zhonghui had prepared a cold salad and a plate of braised beef slices for them.

"Are you two going to class this afternoon?" he asked.

"I have class, but he doesn’t," Qin Jiao said.

Since Shen Yi wasn’t going to class, he would naturally stay at the clothing factory. The orders they had secured wouldn’t just sell off the current inventory; they also required starting production on new products. Plus, he had to visit the relevant government departments to change the factory’s name and handle the trademark registration.

Even if Shen Yi wanted to accompany Qin Jiao to class, he couldn’t be in two places at once.

As he ate his noodles, he asked in a low voice, "Jiao Jiao, does your department have more guys or girls?"

"More girls, I think, but the ratio isn’t that different."

"My major has more guys!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Qin Jiao looked up, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are any of them handsome?"

The expression on Shen Yi’s face froze for a few seconds. He had clearly meant to tell Jiao Jiao that his department was a ’safe’ environment, with more guys and fewer girls.

’But all Jiao Jiao cared about was whether there were any handsome guys...’

Seeing Shen Yi’s thwarted expression, Qin Jiao smiled. She finished her noodles and went to check on the back kitchen. Over there, Sun Jianhua had already brought some people to retrieve the pots, pans, and bowls that Feng Fangfang had embezzled.

Sun Jianhua said, "It’s not all here. We’ve checked all the dorms, and there’s nothing left. They probably took the rest out of the factory. I’d say nearly a third of it is missing."

In this day and age, pots and pans were quite valuable, but Qin Jiao wasn’t surprised. So many days had passed; of course they would have moved the items off-site.

If they didn’t deal with these people soon, they’d be capable of stealing the machinery itself.

"Take these to the kitchen," Shen Yi said. "See what’s still missing and then purchase replacements. But this afternoon, we need to kick those people out of the dorms."

The other side had been unscrupulous, so they had no choice but to be ruthless.

If they didn’t deal with these troublemakers properly, there was no telling what kind of stunts they’d pull in the future.
