Chapter 220: Chapter 221: Looking for Captain Xu
“Hello, Xiao Xu, you got an order? From abroad, what, 2.8 million?”
“Uh huh, okay, I’ll get in touch with your dad right now.” Mr. Niu felt a bit unsteady, as if he had heard something out of a sci-fi movie.
Xiao Xu had not only found him an order but one from foreigners, and the most, most, most crucial part was that a single order was worth over two million—that was nearly their factory’s whole year of orders.
Done for, we’re going to be so busy we’ll drop dead!
Mr. Niu felt both joy and worry, thrilled that their factory had finally landed a big deal, but anxious about whether his staff could handle the market’s demands.
They did say they could deliver in batches, but there was still a production timeline to consider. What if they couldn’t complete it in time?
“Secretary Yang, go quickly and tell the village chief of Xujia Village, Captain Xu, Xu Ying’s dad, that I’ll send the sewing machines immediately, and to start recruiting people fast.”
“Got it, I’m on it.” Secretary Yang agreed briskly and drove off toward Xujia Village.
Bouncing along the road to Xujia Village, Secretary Yang hurried out of his car and asked the first villager he saw: “Excuse me, where does Captain Xu live?”
Yanran’s gaze flashed with curiosity as she asked, “What do you need Captain Xu for?”
Secretary Yang’s face lit up with a smile: “Captain Xu’s daughter brought us an order in foreign currency. Our factory is so busy we can’t keep up.
We’re looking for your village chief to recruit workers. Where does your village chief live?”
Seeing that she was a girl, though she looked quite haggard, Secretary Yang didn’t think too much of it.
“Are you from the food factory?” Yanran asked, a bit curious.

Secretary Yang looked at Yanran with a strange expression in his eyes, wondering why the girl was asking with so much detail.
Yanran, noticing the change in Secretary Yang’s demeanor, didn’t dare to inquire further. She smiled and pointed down the road: “Go straight, turn right at the first intersection, then it’s the third house.”
Seeing this, Secretary Yang ran quickly toward Captain Xu’s house.
Yanran watched his receding figure disappear, a trace of hatred flashing in her eyes. She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white and gritted her teeth: “Xu Ying, you forced me into this. Don’t blame me for being heartless.”
After speaking, she turned and hurried off toward the most dilapidated house in the village.
Dong Wenzhong and Xu Qingqing were now engaged, and it was previously agreed that Dong Wenzhong could return to the city, but due to issues with the village chief, his return was now hopeless.
Yet the wedding had been set, and Xu Qingqing’s parents were not about to let their daughter get married and just stay at home.
They had already told Dong Wenzhong early on that the couple should find their own place after getting married.
Dong Wenzhong was already full of anger at not being able to return to the city and had wanted to call off the wedding, but calling it off would have had too great an impact on the woman’s family reputation.
Xu Qingqing wanted to initiate the breakup herself. After all, since Dong Wenzhong couldn’t return to the city, she wouldn’t become a city person either. It might be better to break the engagement and have other options.
When Dong Wenzhong heard she was offering to break it off, he suddenly wasn’t happy either. After thinking it over, with no reliance in this countryside, and suffering immensely in recent days, marrying Xu Qingqing would at least get him some care from her family.
So, Dong Wenzhong tricked Xu Qingqing into marrying him. The wedding plans proceeded as usual, and now they only needed to find a place to live.
After all, she was their own daughter. How could her parents just stop caring?
So, Xu Qingqing’s parents found a house for Dong Wenzhong on this side. Although it was quite broken down, at least they had a place to live.
When Yanran arrived, Dong Wenzhong was tidying up the yard. He was clearly surprised to see her: “What brings you here?”
“Dong Wenzhong, let’s talk about a cooperation proposal!” Yanran said, her expression somewhat frenzied.
Dong Wenzhong frowned upon seeing her, “What do you have now that you can cooperate with me on?”
He had resigned himself to the fact that Xu Ying was completely out of his heart.
“The county’s textile factory and food factory are going to produce in our village… At this time…” Chen Yanran said, the corners of her mouth curling up with an evil smile, like that of a devil.
Dong Wenzhong’s eyes widened in shock and fear, “Are you crazy? I won’t help you. If we don’t succeed, we’ll be thrown in jail.”
Chen Yanran laughed out loud, her eyes filled with contempt, “Why are you scared of this? We are definitely going to succeed, and once we do, Xu Ying will be ruined.
Don’t you really like the life you’re living now? Oh, right, I forgot you’re getting married, to a country woman, and you’ll never lift your head for the rest of your life.
I remember, your cousin married a girl from the county, and now he’s soared to the skies transformed into a phoenix. It’s such a pity, to each their own fate, your cousin is much more incredible than you.”
Dong Wenzhong’s anger was ignited by Chen Yanran’s words, “Shut the fuck up, I’m not going to stay in this godforsaken place for the rest of my life. I’ll make it back to the city one day.
I can’t do what you’re asking, and I wouldn’t dare.”
Chen Yanran didn’t expect him to be so cowardly, and with a cold laugh, she said, “Do you know why you can’t make it back to the city? Those anonymous letters at the Youth Corps were all written by Xu Ying.
And your cousin has been bought by Xu Ying a long time ago. He married Xu Ying’s best friend’s cousin. It’s pathetic, you’re even dumber than me.
To be played around by Xu Ying so thoroughly, haven’t you realized it yet? Xu Ying’s aim is to destroy both you and me. If you don’t fight back, you’re headed for a dead end.”
Dong Wenzhong lifted his head unbelievably after hearing Chen Yanran’s words, his fingers trembling slightly, his eyes filled with rage as he pressed Chen Yanran, “Swear to me, swear that everything you’ve said is true.”
Chen Yanran let out a miserable laugh, then swore, “I swear, if there’s a single false word in what I, Chen Yanran, have said, may I be struck to death by lightning.”
Dong Wenzhong’s face was extremely embarrassed. How dare Xu Ying, how dare she do this.
The return to the city he had been looking forward to for so long, he had not expected to be destroyed by Xu Ying, that bitch.
He had worked so hard, waited so long, and finally saw the light, only to be pushed back into darkness by that bitch.
Dong Wenzhong was burning with rage, wishing he could kill Xu Ying with his own hands.
“Then we’ll act when the goods arrive,” he said.
Chen Yanran’s mouth curved into a smile, regaining her original innocent and pitiful look, as if her previous frenzy had never existed.
“We’ll make the move the day after tomorrow, I’ll go inform the people of Li Family Village.”
“Why call them? Too many people would attract too much attention!” Dong Wenzhong said, disapprovingly.
Chen Yanran wore a faint smile and explained, “Who said they’d cooperate directly with us? We’ll carry out a diversionary tactic.”
Hearing this, Dong Wenzhong suddenly understood, looking at Chen Yanran with pity. If her plight was truly caused by Xu Ying, then Xu Ying was indeed a ruthless woman.
Yanran was so kind, yet she had been schemed against to this extent, it was extremely pitiful.
Glancing between Xu Qingqing and Chen Yanran, Dong Wenzhong’s eyes flashed with disdain and yearning.
Chen Yanran could clearly see what Dong Wenzhong was thinking, and she approached him directly.
Dong Wenzhong, seeing her throw herself into his arms, did not refuse; after all, no one would come to their side.
They ended up sleeping together right there in the yard.
