Chapter 186: Taking Over the Cotton Spinning Factory

Su Ruo knew Li Zhaodi was very happy, but she still reminded her that this matter was currently just Li Laoyezi's idea, and she didn't know whether Li Furén would agree.

Su Ruo let Li Zhaodi prepare herself mentally, so that if things didn't work out, she wouldn't be unable to bear the blow and would be overly disappointed.

Li Zhaodi nodded repeatedly, indicating she understood, after all, over the past year she had experienced too much; she was no longer the little girl who had just left home in Li Family Village.

But that evening, to celebrate, they still made many dishes; during this period they had been very busy.

It's hard to believe they gathered together and specially drank some fruit wine.

The master's wife looked at Su Ruo with a resentful gaze and said: "During this time you've been so busy, you haven't had time for me."

Su Ruo smiled apologetically, but she had indeed been very busy during this period and had neglected the master's wife.

But the master's wife wasn't idle either; she, An'an, and Qin Xiao had been acting mysteriously all along, and no one knew what they were doing.

Fortunately, Su Ruo and Bai Xinya both knew that although An'an was young, she acted with propriety, so they let her go.

Su Ruo and the three generations together ate this meal especially happily.

Lu Laogeyez acted quickly; on the third day after Zhou Feng replied to him, he made an appointment with Su Ruo and her group to go to the Clothing Factory to sign the contract, and furthermore, to complete the handover matters.

Su Ruo and her group arrived early, and to show importance, Su Ruo and Li Zhaodi and her group changed into more formal clothes, applied light makeup, looking imposing, and then entered the Cotton Spinning Factory.

Li Laoyezi, upon seeing Su Ruo, took her hand and solemnly expressed his gratitude.

Su Ruo knew that Li Laoyezi was referring to the fact that Li Furén had an illegitimate child outside.

She said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This is what I should do."

The two then stopped discussing the topic, but being able to let Li Laoyezi remember this favor was also excellent for Su Ruo.

But what surprised Su Ruo and her group was that Li Furén was brought in, pressed by two tall and sturdy soldiers.

The transfer contract had already been reviewed by Su Ruo's group; there were no problems, and they had signed it.

When it came to Li Furén's turn, he obviously didn't want to sign, and he called out resentfully: "Dad!"

This Clothing Factory was something Li Furén had painstakingly obtained through great effort and many means; letting him simply hand it over to Su Ruo made him unwilling.

But Li Laoyezi didn't even glance at Li Furén; if he once had some feelings for him, those feelings vanished after learning that Li Furén had not only betrayed his daughter but also kept a mistress outside and now even had an illegitimate son.

Not shooting Li Furén on the spot already showed great restraint; how could he possibly help him?

"You can only choose either the factory or your life."

Upon hearing Li Laoyezi's words, Li Furén lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with malicious hatred.

Li Furén never expected Li Laoyezi to be so ruthless, really demanding that he give away the factory.

In Li Furén's mind, as long as Li Laoyezi lifted a finger, he could settle this matter, yet making him pay such a high price clearly showed contempt for him.

Li Furén hated him intensely in his heart, swearing that he would surely rise to prominence and make Li Laoyezi regret it.

But Li Furén never considered how, as a person with no foundation, he had managed to reach this point and possess everything he now had, thanks to Li Laoyezi's efforts.

Over the years, Li Laoyezi had repeatedly labored and made exceptions to help him, yet Li Furén had never kept any of it in mind; some people are like that: you help them a hundred times, but if you fail to help them even once, they will hold a grudge—Li Furén is exactly such a person.

Even though Li Furén was unwilling in his heart, he still signed his name on the transfer contract.

After doing all that, Li Laoyezi took Li Furén and his own people and left.

This matter was thus completely settled.

Zhou Feng took Su Ruo and her group to tour the Cotton Spinning Factory, after all, this would henceforth be their industry, so they needed to take a good look.

However, they didn't stay long, because in the afternoon Li Zhaodi had to go to Hai Shi to discuss the autumn new clothing product sales.

Bai Xinya was going to take An'an to learn ballet; everyone left, and in the huge factory, only Su Ruo remained.

But this was also good, making it more convenient for her to act.

Su Ruo first went to the production workshop, looking at the machinery and equipment that she herself had damaged; she felt deep regret and heartache, wishing she had known earlier that all of this was her own doing.

She would never have done that back then.

But now regretting it is too late; to get these machines back into production, she had to use points to exchange with the system, restoring them to their original state.

Thinking back to when she had the system help damage these machines, she had already spent points once; now having the system help restore them, she spent even more points, making Su Ruo feel like an utterly resentful person.

But what made Su Ruo feel the most pain wasn't the points she had spent, but rather the three warehouses she herself had burned down—worth over ten thousand! Just one fire and they were gone; how could Su Ruo not feel anguish?

But Su Ruo then consoled herself, thinking that if these events hadn't occurred, Li Furén wouldn't have, in a fit of anger, wanted to blow up her Clothing Factory, and Li Laoyezi would never have decided to give her the Cotton Spinning Factory.

Therefore, everything was already predestined in the dark; do not be greedy, do not be greedy.

On the day after Su Ruo took over the Cotton Spinning Factory, workers began to come in one after another.

Among them, some had already vaguely heard that the factory was changing owners, so they felt very uneasy; although the work was now tiring, they still didn't want to lose their jobs, because in this environment, once unemployed, it would be hard to find work again, and then the whole family would have trouble getting food.

Hundreds of workers were now noisily gathered at the Cotton Spinning Factory's gate; fortunately, Su Ruo already had prior experience, so handling this was easy for her.

To prevent a repeat of the previous mass disturbance, Su Ruo this time hired fifty security personnel composed of retired special forces in advance; as soon as they stood up, the scene immediately fell silent.

Su Ruo then picked up the loudspeaker and said: "Hello everyone, from today onward I am the new boss of the Cotton Spinning Factory, my name is Su Ruo, the boss of Xia Hua Clothing Factory."

I know that changing the factory's boss makes everyone uneasy, but I can assure you that the Cotton Spinning Factory will only get better under my management, and everyone's benefits will not be reduced but only increased.

As soon as Su Ruo's words fell, a male voice rang out from the crowd: "What grounds do we have to trust you!"

Because of this remark, the crowd became noisy again.
