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

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: My Judgment Was So Poor Back Then

’An apology is an apology, and a punishment is a punishment, but we have to go back to our room for the punishment?’

Qin Jiao felt the words had a lewd undertone. She put on a stern face and said, "Let’s eat first!"

"Okay!"

It was as if the previous storm had completely blown over. To everyone else, the scene looked just like a young couple whispering intimately to each other.

During the meal, the adults asked the two "kids" about college, but the conversation soon shifted to the clothing factory.

Speaking of Xu Da, Feng Fang, and the others, Shen Yi said, "We don’t need to worry about them. The one we should be worried about right now is Shen Zhengfeng."

The mention of Shen Zhengfeng set Du Liya off. She said furiously, "It was clearly agreed that the factory would go to Xiao Yi, but then he started pulling all sorts of tricks and causing trouble. I see nothing good in his future! How could my judgment have been so poor back then!"

Beidou, who was beside her, quickly soothed her. "It’s alright, it’s alright. What matters is that your judgment is good now."

They weren’t wrong. Xu Da, Feng Fang, and Li Tao, acting as representatives for their group, had indeed gone to see Shen Zhengfeng.

Xu Da said, "Boss Shen, you have no idea how unreliable that group is. They’re just playing house. If they keep carrying on like this, the whole factory is bound to go under!"

Shen Zhengfeng sat on the sofa, crossing his legs. "Didn’t I tell you to stay there and work for a while longer?"

"...That was my plan, but Boss Shen, you don’t know what they’re like. That group is like a bunch of bandits and robbers. The first thing they did when they stormed in was fire all of us! And that wife Shen Yi married—that little girl is incredibly arrogant!"

Hearing this, Feng Fang chimed in, "Yes, yes, that’s right! It was that Qin Jiao who fired me! I was actually doing a great job, but just because her parents wanted to take over the cafeteria, she got rid of me!"

Shen Zhengfeng frowned. He felt these people were rather useless. He had been planning to plant a few spies in the clothing factory.

He reached for a cigarette, and Xu Da, who was beside him, quickly lit it for him. Shen Zhengfeng lifted his chin slightly. "What about the clothes?"

"They’re running around like headless chickens trying to find a place to sell them. They say they’re going to alter them and sell them off, but I think their chances are slim!" This was the story Xu Da and Feng Fang had agreed on beforehand.

This was because if they had said the factory’s inventory was almost sold out and everyone else was full of motivation, Shen Zhengfeng would have only blamed them for their incompetence.

Sure enough, upon hearing that the clothes hadn’t been sold yet, the corners of Shen Zhengfeng’s mouth turned up, and his mood visibly improved.

Feng Fang quickly seized the opportunity. "Boss Shen, look, there are over thirty of us who’ve lost our jobs. Could you perhaps arrange new ones for us?"

"Hm, that’s easy enough. Go and report to the paint factory later."

Everyone’s face lit up with joy, and they prepared to leave. However, Xu Da hesitated for a moment and stayed behind. He asked in a low voice, "Boss Shen, what’s Xiao Ya been up to lately? I haven’t seen her in a long time."

Xu Da had previously dated Shen Zhengfeng’s sister, Shen Xiaoya. But Shen Xiaoya had met a man two years younger than her at a card and mahjong club, and she instantly lost interest in the much older Xu Da.

Not to mention, Xu Da had also just lost his manager position at the clothing factory. Even if he was assigned to the paint factory, he would surely be in a management role, but the managers at the paint factory were no pushovers.

Xu Da was worried. If Shen Xiaoya completely ignored him from now on, would Shen Zhengfeng stop looking out for him in the future?
