Chapter 93: Taking Over the Factory

On the smoky Gourmet Street.

Wu Yue'er pulled out a chair and sat down at the square table, brushed back a strand of slightly curly hair, and said, "I worked all afternoon and didn't even have time to eat. I came straight here after getting off the bus to grab a few bites."

As she spoke, Wu Yue'er unceremoniously picked up the skewer from the egg waffle, poked a piece, put it in her mouth, and then revealed a satisfied smile.

"Mmm! This egg waffle is really good."

Shen Yan smiled, not minding at all, and asked the owner of the neighboring stall for another serving of egg waffles; Wu Yue'er also ordered some food.

Glancing at her exposed long legs, Shen Yan advised, "Dress more when you go out to work. In case you run into some perverted creep... uh! Anyway, watch your safety!"

Wu Yue'er rested her chin on her left hand on the table and said with a charming smile, "What, are you worried about me?"

Honestly, Wu Yue'er had the urge to cry right now.

Perhaps it was her personality—she was carefree and like a boy—but in all her years, this was the first time a boy had told her to watch her safety.

It was quite moving!

Shen Yan pursed his lips; the point had been made.

The two chatted while eating, and when they learned that Shen Nainai had arrived safely in Cangnan and the Shen Family home was empty, Wu Yue'er was immediately delighted.

"How about we go back and play together? It's been so long since we played games."

"A game fanatic like you hasn't been playing games?" Shen Yan was a bit surprised.

Wu Yue'er curled her lips and complained that it was all Lin Yang's fault, following her around like a tag-along every single day, and he was so bad at the game that she didn't even care to play with him.

Tsk tsk! A moment of silence for Lin Yang for three seconds.

To be a sycophant to the point of being hated by both people and dogs, yet still persist—this kind of perseverance was truly something else.

Shen Yan couldn't be bothered to meddle; having been busy for so many days, it was just right to play a few games to relieve the fatigue, so he readily agreed.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two became full of energy again. After returning to the residential complex, Wu Yue'er moved her laptop directly into Shen Yan's bedroom, with the excuse that voice chat was too troublesome.

Shen Yan didn't mind and pulled her straight into the action.

After reaching the level cap of thirty, the ranked mode was already unlocked, just right for testing their skills.

"I'll play AD, you support me, let's try to end the match in 20 minutes."

"OK! OK! Let's do it!"

Wu Yue'er clenched her fists, already unable to wait to go all out.

"First blood!"

"Double kill!"

"An enemy is Unstoppable!"

After four consecutive victories, the two wreaked havoc in Summoner's Rift, and not a single match lasted over thirty minutes.

After securing another victory, and with Wu Yue'er playing the AD role, after the exhilarating slaughter, Wu Yue'er jumped three feet high in excitement.

She yelled, "Awesome, this is how it's meant to be played!"

Shen Yan picked up his water cup, took a calm sip, and clicked continue.

Ten minutes later, his phone suddenly rang.

It was the boss of Juyuan Clothing calling. Shen Yan put it on speakerphone, operating the game while taking the call.

"Hello! Is there something up, Li Ge?"

"Little Brother Shen, the raw materials you wanted have been received in the warehouse. Come to the factory tomorrow, and we'll formally handle the handover."

"Alright! I'll head over at nine tomorrow morning."

"Got it! Once that's done, I can head back to Shenzhen early."

After hanging up, Wu Yue'er, who had been listening intently, turned her peach-blossom eyes and asked nonchalantly, "What is that factory you're going to tomorrow for?"

"Secret!" Shen Yan spat out the two words, not intending to say more.

"Heh! You've been skipping class so much lately; turns out you were off doing big things."

Although it was only a few words and Wu Yue'er didn't fully understand the meaning, it was clear that Shen Yan was secretly up to something again.

Perhaps this was the business Shen Yan mentioned he wanted to do at the Yu Family banquet last time.

"Tell me, we're good buddies, I definitely won't tell anyone." Wu Yue'er nudged Shen Yan's arm and said coquettishly.

Shen Yan didn't respond, his mouse and keyboard clicking loudly as he scored another triple kill.

"Hey! Can't you kill a bit slower? I didn't even get an assist."

"Haha! I declare that I have officially taken over the match."

The night grew deeper, and outside the window, it was peaceful. The two played until eleven o'clock, and Wu Yue'er still felt unsatisfied and wanted to play one more.

Shen Yan, however, had had his fill and began to issue an eviction order.

"That's enough, don't you have work tomorrow?"

"I'm not leaving! Unless you play one more with me." Seeing he wouldn't agree, Wu Yue'er actually pounced onto the bed, rolling left and right, and wrapped herself in a ball with the quilt.

Looking at the small head poking out from the top of the quilt and those kicking little feet, Shen Yan couldn't help but smile; he hadn't expected the little girl to have this side to her.

Honestly, facing a Wu Yue'er like this, it would be hard for anyone to have the heart to refuse.

"I'm afraid of you, then let's play one more."

"Then you support me."

"Fine!"

Wu Yue'er smiled triumphantly. No wonder they say on the internet that women who know how to act spoiled have the best luck; it was true. She felt she had already grasped Shen Yan's weakness.

After the game ended, Wu Yue'er's Ezreal had secured a quadra kill and had the highest gold in the match. It had to be said that Wu Yue'er's gaming talent was much higher than Lin Yang's; she understood things instantly.

Before leaving, Wu Yue'er said they would continue tomorrow night, but Shen Yan said, "We'll see, tomorrow will be very busy."

Recalling that phone call, Wu Yue'er made a cheering gesture, her smile shallow, looking delicate and soft under the lights.

Damn! This girl has been too weird lately!

After Wu Yue'er left, Shen Yan shook his head, forcing himself to calm down; he was a man with a girlfriend, he couldn't let his thoughts run wild.

The heart is like ice, clear and pure; even if the sky collapses, it remains undisturbed.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the deep Prajna...

At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, Shen Yan arrived at Juyuan Garment Factory right on time; having already mastered the factory's entire operational rules beforehand, the handover procedures went very smoothly.

The change of legal representative was completed, the trademark was in place, and the raw materials were fully prepared; everything was ready for production to begin.

In the workshop, facing the burning gazes of the one hundred workers below, Shen Yan called over the production supervisor, Han Yi, a middle-aged man with a thin build, black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, and eyes as deep as the sea.

"Supervisor Han, please execute the production plan for the new thermal underwear and down jackets; the piece-rate prices remain the same, and get the finished products produced as quickly as possible."

"Yes! Boss!" Han Yi replied loudly.

The workers wore expressions of relief.

For them, the most important thing was the issue of wages; as long as the money was paid, no one cared who the boss was. If the wages weren't paid, even if the King of Heaven himself came, they would still poke a hole in the sky.

The workers returned to their respective stations, but Fang Xiang came up to Shen Yan with a beaming smile and asked, "Boss, does our factory still need people?"
