Chapter 101: The enemy of an enemy is a friend

"Qingyue, thanks to you coming to help today, there are too many people here." At lunchtime, Chen Yan took a boxed lunch and sat down to eat with Su Qingyue.

"The Shengli Supply and Marketing Cooperative only has two hundred jin of vegetable tofu today, and someone even discovered soil in the wild vegetables inside!"

Su Qingyue came to hand over work to Chen Yan today and heard a bit of gossip.

"The Qingshan Village definitely doesn't have soybeans; they can't make more tofu. Now that the quality has declined, they will sooner or later be spurned by the masses. The efficiency of our Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative will get better and better."

"Then you're not working here anymore either. I'll be so lonely when you leave." Chen Yan said in a low voice.

Jiang Meng hid behind the pillar, breaking into a cold sweat for Zhang Jun.

Her good news with Zhang Jun was near, and for the sake of their future common interests, she had to find a way to help Zhang Jun as soon as possible.

A few days ago, the matter of having President Zhang's son provide false testimony, which her sister-in-law had entrusted to her, not only resulted in her being scolded by her sister-in-law but also being lectured by Zhang Jun.

"That's our President Fang's son. Because of this matter, Fang Rong was expelled. Now that soybeans are not enough, the daily supply of vegetable tofu is decreasing. President Fang is looking at me with a sour face."

Jiang Meng felt bitter in her heart. If she had to blame someone, she would blame Su Qingyue's family for having such good luck; every time something happened, someone would cover for them.

Su Qingyue didn't know what Jiang Meng was calculating. After reporting her work to Zhang Dongfeng at the supply and marketing cooperative, she packed her things and left.

Jiang Meng looked shocked; Su Qingyue had actually resigned. Zhang Dongfeng announced that Chen Yan was the sales group leader and also took on the role of purchasing agent. Jiang Meng's face turned pale bit by bit.

She had worked herself to the bone at the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative for many years, and every time there was a promotion or a raise, it had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Meng clicked the abacus in her hand and smiled to congratulate Chen Yan, but her heart was already sour.

"You say Zhang Dongfeng is too much! After Su Qingyue left, Chen Yan didn't give up her position, and she even let me continue to be a salesperson?"

Jiang Meng met with Zhang Jun after work, and the two complained about their work together.

"If I were a purchasing agent, maybe I could help you." Jiang Meng muttered.

Zhang Jun's eyes sharpened. "Mengmeng, you really can help me!"

"How?"

"The biggest problem for our Qingshan Team now is that there are no soybeans. Plus, today's vegetable tofu had some quality problems, and customers all went to the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative. If Hongqi also had some problems, wouldn't customers stop blaming us?"

Although Jiang Meng hated the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, she was working there after all, and it was at least a formal and decent job. She heard Zhang Jun's tone as if he wanted her to do something that would harm the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so she hesitated and said, "But I'll be found out, and I'll lose my job. Can't you buy soybeans on the black market?"

Zhang Jun grabbed her hand. "I'll go talk to President Fang. After it's done, you'll go to the Shengli Supply and Marketing Cooperative as a purchasing agent! Also, I didn't ask you to harm the supply and marketing cooperative, but to take action in Su Qingyue's processing team."

"Go to their village? No, that will be discovered immediately!"

"There are ready-made people, you don't need to go. You just need to contact her well."

Jiang Meng met Zhang Jun's evil eyes. "Are you talking about Su Qianqian?"

Zhang Jun nodded.

He was originally busy buying soybeans on the black market and had already talked to Lao Jiang's subordinates. The price was thirty cents per jin, and all of it would be supplied to the Qingshan Team.

But yesterday, when he and the villagers drove the bull cart to haul soybeans, they were chased out by Lao Jiang's subordinates again.

"Are you buying soybeans to supply vegetable tofu to the Shengli Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhang Jun and his group were all driven out, and the money was returned in full.

Zhang Jun pounded on the door, but he didn't even see who Lao Jiang was.

What was even more excessive was that apart from Lao Jiang, other people on the black market were unwilling to sell soybeans to him, even if he offered a high price.

After calculating with Jiang Meng, they realized it was Su Qingyue's relationship again. Lao Jiang had a good relationship with her husband, so he definitely wouldn't sell soybeans to their village.

The two were indignant and planning something.

The booming business of the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative directly affected the spirit and appearance of the villagers in Shuangshui Village.

"Oh, my ten jin of bean sprouts earned one yuan!" Qian Juqin counted the small change in her hand, having long forgotten that she didn't think highly of Su Qingyue before.

"You were late in sending them. I saw Liu Chunxing hand in thirty jin of bean sprouts! Let's go, hurry to the brigade to get soybeans, be careful, if you go late, there won't be any."

Pei Huaiye and Su Qingyue worked for several days and finally got the procedures for the processing factory down.

It was all thanks to Jiang Guomin's help in bridging the connection with the County Magistrate.

County Magistrate Jiang originally didn't believe that a woman wanted to open a factory, but the people below conducted field investigations on the quality of bean products in the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Shuangshui Village, and they all praised them.

They also investigated Su Qingyue's previous help to the village in selling vegetables and now making bean products, which improved the living conditions of Shuangshui Village, and some children even went to the county town to study.

County Magistrate Jiang was very satisfied after hearing this. While he was signing the documents to process the paperwork, he was informed by Jiang Guomin that Su Qingyue's younger sister had fought at school to help his bullied grandson.

He shook his head and laughed, telling his subordinates to finish the procedures as soon as possible.

Su Qingyue and Xiang Jianming got the approval and immediately marked out a construction site next to the brigade to start building a formal factory.

After the autumn harvest, there was no work in the fields. During the slack season, Xiang Jianming arranged for the villagers to come and build the factory, and it was still counted as work points.

The villagers and the Educated Youth Courtyard were very active. After all, after the factory was built, they would definitely recruit people on a large scale. With job opportunities, would they still be afraid that their family's life wouldn't be good in the future?

Therefore, everyone worked hard, except for Su Qianqian.

She was happy to learn that Su Qingyue had resigned two days ago, but she didn't expect that Su Qingyue would really build the factory after only two days.

This was a village matter. If she didn't help with the work, she wouldn't have work points. For the sake of work points, she even specially spent money to find people to do the work.

Su Qianqian was angry to death, throwing things around in the room, when she suddenly heard a knocking sound outside the door.

"Excuse me, does Su Qianqian live here?"

Su Qianqian opened the door. "Jiang Meng? What are you doing here?"

"Qianqian, you forgot, when you resigned, you said to let me help you ask the post office if there was any mail for you when I had time. I saw that you hadn't been to the city for many days, so I brought it to you."

Villagers were coming and going, and Jiang Meng spoke very loudly. Su Qianqian took the letter and let people into the house.

She supported her belly. "Speak, what else do you want from me?"

Jiang Meng handed over an envelope. "The enemy of an enemy is a friend. I want to cooperate with you!"

Inside the envelope were ten large ten-yuan bills.

Su Qianqian took a look and didn't move, speaking calmly. "Are you going to deal with Su Qingyue? You don't have any grudges with her."

Jiang Meng leaned forward, naturally not daring to say that she and Zhang Jun were about to get married, after all, Su Qianqian knew that Zhang Jun's family also hated her.

"The classmate her sister beat at school is President Fang's son, Fang Rong. President Fang is my sister-in-law's relative, and because of this matter, my sister-in-law was demoted from grade director to an ordinary teacher."

Jiang Meng added fuel to the fire and accused Su Qingyue of various behaviors. "After Su Qingyue left, she even complained to Zhang Dongfeng that I was incompetent and couldn't be a purchasing agent, which caused me to lose the opportunity for promotion!" ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
