Sunday morning at ten o'clock.

Deng Yue drove his Audi to pick up Han Lan and Jiang Ci downstairs.

The factory was located in the Zhongrun Economic Development Zone, an area mostly filled with factories and sparsely populated.

They arrived at one in the afternoon.

Manager Sun of the factory warmly welcomed them and took them on a tour of the workshop, providing a detailed introduction to the processors.

"Can you ship to Ningxiang County?" Jiang Ci asked.

"Yes, our factory has a comprehensive logistics system, Miss Jiang, you can rest assured."

Jiang Ci nodded.

What Jiang Ci didn't know was that at this moment, Lu Yudong was sitting in the manager's office, watching the video feed of the entire factory.

As soon as Jiang Ci and the others walked in, Lu Yudong saw them.

Seeing Deng Yue beside her, Lu Yudong thought: As expected, his wife is quite the "charmer," always surrounded by different men.

The training session with Chu Shuo had ended, and now she was with Deng Yue.

"If I order two hundred units, how much would it cost?" Jiang Ci thought the quality of the computers was excellent and the logistics efficient, so she wanted to finalize the order as soon as possible.

Deng Yue, being in the gaming business and knowledgeable about computers, also said they were good.

Manager Sun frowned slightly, "As for the price, I can't make that decision. Our president will have to handle it."

"Mr. Shang?" Jiang Ci remembered that the person who answered the phone that day was Mr. Shang.

"Oh, no, our company has been acquired, and we're doing OEM production now. It's the big boss from our parent company. I'll give him a call." With that, Manager Sun went to make a phone call.

Jiang Ci also discussed the price with Deng Yue on the side.

"If you're buying in bulk, try to get it for 3,500 yuan per unit," Deng Yue, an expert in this field, suggested.

Jiang Ci nodded, thinking that Han Lan's invitation to Deng Yue this time was indeed the right choice.

At this moment, Deng Yue received a WeChat message from "Big Brother": [Later, don't say you know me.]

Deng Yue frowned, feeling a bit puzzled.

"Big Brother" was Lu Yudong. Three years ago, Deng Yue had started a gaming company, but due to poor management, it was on the verge of bankruptcy right after opening. Out of desperation, he applied to be a driver for Lu Yudong at New East Group.

After hearing his story, Lu Yudong said, "Let's do this, don't be a driver. Get back up where you fell."

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Lu Yudong invested two million, and the company was revived.

Deng Yue was filled with gratitude towards Lu Yudong, even saving his WeChat contact as "Big Brother," sending him holiday greetings every year, though Lu Yudong never replied.

To Deng Yue, a small favor should be returned with great gratitude.

Since Lu Yudong said to pretend not to know him, he would act as if they didn't know each other.

But the word "later" made Deng Yue very curious. Could it be that Lu Yudong was currently at this company?

"Our boss is here," Manager Sun said. "Miss Jiang, you can discuss the price with him."

Because the workshop was long, Jiang Ci and the others were standing at the far end.

Jiang Ci looked up and shivered slightly.

How could it be Lu Yudong?

Lu Yudong was walking towards them step by step.

Jiang Ci's mind was racing: Logically, a big boss like Lu Yudong wouldn't personally come to such a small factory, yet here he was, and he wanted to discuss the price with her personally.

Isn't this strange?

Could he have already found out something?

Jiang Ci tried to find a photo of Lu Yudong on her phone, but couldn't find one in her album.

Han Lan tugged at Jiang Ci's sleeve beside her, "What do we do? It's Mr. Lu! If he finds out you're here for your first love, who knows how he'll react?"

"Stay calm." Jiang Ci downloaded a photo of Lu Yudong from the internet and sent it to Aunt Wang Xuan.

[Aunt Wang Xuan, was the Mr. Shang we met that day this person?]

Jiang Ci's first instinct was that Lu Yudong must have come prepared this time; otherwise, he wouldn't be at this small factory on a weekend.

After finalizing the deal, Jiang Ci was very happy and excited. It was her first time handling a transaction over a hundred thousand yuan, and she felt a bit anxious. Worried about encountering scammers or criminals, she asked Han Lan to accompany her.

Han Lan, no longer needing to keep a low profile, was quite pleased and readily agreed to Jiang Ci's request.

"For something like this, it's best to have a guy with us. If Mr. Lu goes with you, who would dare to cheat him? They wouldn't dare even with ten times the courage," Han Lan said while munching on snacks.

"It's not that easy. We're having a bit of a spat. Besides, this matter involves my ex-boyfriend. Would I be out of my mind to ask him to come along?" Jiang Ci replied.

"Why are you making such a fuss? You can see how just a casual nod from him changes everything for us. People can't wait to flatter him, and here you are, picking a fight," Han Lan said, a bit exasperated.

"Don't mention it. I've been flattering him all along." To this day, Jiang Ci still didn't understand why Lu Yudong suddenly asked her to move out.

How could she cater to his whims without knowing the reason?

"Why not try to appease him? Mr. Lu is into that," Han Lan suggested.

"How do you know? Have you tried it before?" Jiang Ci asked, her tone slightly jealous.

"No, no, I haven't even met Mr. Lu," Han Lan said, trying to act coy. "But seriously, my sister is bringing me some food this afternoon."

"Your sister? Isn't she about to give birth? How can you let her bring you food with that big belly?"

"She's not coming herself; she's sending her brother-in-law. I heard he's quite a catch," Han Lan said dreamily.

"You haven't met him?"

Han Lan rolled her eyes at Jiang Ci. "No, he didn't attend my sister's wedding; he was out of town."

"I'll check him out for you this afternoon."

At six in the evening, the dormitory doorbell rang, and Jiang Ci went to answer it. As soon as she opened the door, she widened her eyes in surprise and said, "Deng Yue?"

"Jiang Ci?"

"Who are you looking for? Me?"

Deng Yue raised the food container in his hand. "I'm delivering food for my sister-in-law to her sister. I didn't expect you two to be roommates. What a small world."

When Han Lan came out and saw that Deng Yue was quite handsome, her eyes sparkled.

"How about I treat you two lovely ladies to dinner tonight?" Deng Yue offered.

"What about the food my sister sent?" Jiang Ci asked with a slight frown.

But Han Lan was already tempted. After all, who wouldn't want to dine with a handsome guy?

"We can put it in the fridge and eat it later. It won't spoil. Let's go, I'll treat you to hot pot," Deng Yue said enthusiastically.

Recently, Jiang Ci and Han Lan had been under a lot of pressure, so they were eager for some relaxation and quickly agreed. Besides, Jiang Ci loved spicy food—the spicier, the better.

During dinner, Deng Yue asked Jiang Ci, "Since we added each other on WeChat, we haven't chatted. I didn't know you worked at New East Group. That's promising."

"I'm just a low-level employee; there's no future in that. Han Lan has more potential; she's the New East Star, a future executive," Jiang Ci said, not forgetting to praise Han Lan.

Jiang Ci could tell that Han Lan had a good impression of Deng Yue. Han Lan and Deng Yue also exchanged WeChat contacts.

"Oh, by the way, Jiang Ci is going to the suburbs on Sunday to inspect a computer factory. We've never been there and are afraid of encountering scammers, so we want a guy to come with us. Why don't you join us?" Han Lan invited Deng Yue. "My sister told me her brother-in-law runs a gaming company, so you're perfect for evaluating computers."

"Visiting a computer factory? No problem. I'll drive you two ladies there. Planning to buy computers? Why not just go to the electronics market instead of the source?"

"Two hundred units. We're donating them to children in the mountains. It's the same school we visited together," Jiang Ci explained easily, as she and Deng Yue had visited the charity school together before.

"Two hundred units, impressive. You must have some money."

"Not really. I sold my dad's house in the countryside," Jiang Ci deflected, fearing Deng Yue would ask about the money's origin, putting her in an awkward position.

She hadn't even mentioned her contractual marriage with Lu Yudong to Han Lan, nor did Han Lan know the source of the money.

Her father's old house was in the countryside, and Jiang Ci had never been there. Besides, you can't sell a homestead.

Fortunately, Deng Yue didn't press further.

What could Jiang Ci say? That she sold herself for it?
