Chapter 2480

In the Santana, the fat-headed, big-eared woman was none other than Hong Jinyan; her round face made her features appear somewhat cramped. Her small eyes were currently fixed through the car window on the black Mercedes-Benz not far away.

Beside Hong Jinyan was a man, Wen Sanmao. This fellow noticed Hong Jinyan's actions and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Just then, the car slowly drove into the main gate of Jin Shiguang. Hong Jinyan withdrew her gaze and said slowly, "I'm looking at that Mercedes."

Wen Sanmao raised his eyelids, glanced outside the window, and said with a smile, "If you like it, I'll buy you one."

Hong Jinyan turned her head to look at Wen Sanmao, her thick lips curling to reveal two rows of teeth. It had to be said, the woman's teeth were quite white. She gently grabbed Wen Sanmao's hand and rubbed it slowly with her fingers.

"No need. If I want to buy one, I can afford it myself. It's just that, given my status, it's not really appropriate for me to ride in a car like a Mercedes."

At this moment, the driver, Su Dali, suddenly interjected, "Sister, that Mercedes parked on the side of the road at the main gate seems to be Zhou Andong's car."

Su Dali was Hong Jinyan's cousin and had previously been the section chief of the Production Department. Ever since Hong Jinyan was transferred to Jin Shiguang, he had been transferred to the Design Department to serve as section chief.

Hong Jinyan frowned: "How do you know?"

Su Dali laughed: "After Zhou Andong took office, I specifically went to ask around. I knew his car was a Mercedes, and I even found out the license plate number."

Hong Jinyan's frown deepened: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"I guarantee I didn't see it wrong," Su Dali said assuringly. "But I don't know if Zhou Andong is inside the car."

The car slowly stopped under the factory building. The roar of the engine vanished, but the interior of the car fell into sudden silence, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

Hong Jinyan did not get out of the car, but instead pondered for a moment and said, "Dali, do you think Zhou Andong will make a move against our Jin Shiguang?"

Su Dali kept his hands on the steering wheel and sneered, "No. Today, that person from the Discipline Inspection Commission is coming to inspect the main factory. How would Zhou Andong have the time to come to our Jin Shiguang to stir up trouble?"

The reason Hong Jinyan had remained so calm was partly because she had backers behind her, and partly because the Woolen Mill was the Yin family's private preserve.

She did not think highly of Zhou Andong; even seeing the strength and methods Zhou Andong displayed upon taking office, she still firmly believed that Zhou Andong was merely a grasshopper after the autumn, unable to jump around for long.

When she learned the news that Sun Baocun was coming to inspect the main factory, she felt quite smug inside. Sure enough, just as she had expected, the Yin family had made their move; Zhou Andong could not escape death.

However, Hong Jinyan had not done nothing. During this period, she had been dealing with all kinds of potential hidden dangers. Traces that needed to be eliminated were eliminated, and evidence that needed to be handled was handled—everything was just in case.

"You're right!" A smile appeared on Hong Jinyan's face: "Sun Baocun is inspecting the main factory today. Zhou Andong himself can barely protect himself; how would he have the spare time to come here and find trouble for me?"

As she spoke, Hong Jinyan's hand crawled very nimbly onto the base of Wen Sanmao's thigh. Her fingers stroked gently, rubbing back and forth slowly, as if exploring some secret. Wen Sanmao closed his eyes, looking very satisfied.

Hong Jinyan looked at Wen Sanmao, her eyes revealing a faint charm and tenderness: "That batch of goods of yours can be moved out entirely today, taking advantage of the opportunity of the city leaders inspecting the main factory.

This way, it won't attract too much attention, and it can also ensure the safety of the goods. After this period passes, we'll see how the situation is before making further plans."

"No problem." Wen Sanmao's hand grabbed Hong Jinyan's chest hard: "It just so happens I can rest a bit too."

Su Dali got out of the car, seeing and hearing nothing, then leaned against the car door, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a deep drag, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

He thought he would have to wait a while, but he didn't expect that he had just lit the cigarette and hadn't even had time for the second drag before Hong Jinyan and Wen Sanmao got out of the car.

Just then, Su Dali saw a female employee, carrying a paper bag in her hand, jogging out of the factory building in a hurry.

Seeing this, Su Dali raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed his finger at the woman, and shouted loudly, "Hey, you there, what's inside the bag you're carrying?"

The woman stopped by Su Dali was Liu Mei. As soon as she left the factory building, she saw Hong Jinyan and Su Dali standing by the car. Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and her neck unconsciously shrank back.

This wasn't because of Su Dali, but mainly because Hong Jinyan's reputation in the factory was too formidable. Whenever Liu Mei ran into Hong Jinyan, her heart would beat like a drum, let alone now that she was carrying a suit she had just "borrowed" from the Design Department.

Hearing Su Dali's shout, Liu Mei knew in her heart that she definitely couldn't escape this time. However, when she thought that the bag contained clothes for the factory director, her body was suddenly filled with a powerful strength; she instantly straightened her back and walked toward Su Dali with her head held high.

"Factory Director!" Liu Mei greeted Hong Jinyan with a smile, then turned her gaze to Su Dali and asked, "Chang Kezhang Su, is there something you need me for?"

Su Dali's gaze fell on the paper bag in Liu Mei's hand. It was a paper bag unique to the Design Department; only newly designed clothing exhibits would be packed in an exquisite box and then placed in this paper bag. He was all too familiar with this kind of paper bag, so he recognized it at a glance.

"What's in this bag of yours?" Su Dali's voice was low and oppressive.

Liu Mei glanced at Hong Jinyan before saying slowly, "This is a suit I took from the Design Department."

"A suit?" Su Dali's face instantly turned gloomy. He reached out his hand and said in an unquestionable tone, "Bring it here for me to see."

Liu Mei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately handed the paper bag to Su Dali.

Su Dali took the paper bag, took out the exquisite box inside, and opened the lid. When he saw the neatly folded clothing in the box, his face became even uglier, gloomy enough to drip water.

"This is the suit we just designed!" Su Dali's voice carried obvious anger. He glared at Liu Mei and said sternly, "Speak, who told you to steal it? What benefits did you get?"

Upon hearing Su Dali's words, Liu Mei became anxious and quickly explained, "Chang Kezhang Su, these clothes are for Factory Director Zhou. When you came, didn't you see the Mercedes parked at the factory gate? That's Factory Director Zhou's car!"

Su Dali couldn't help but be stunned. Hong Jinyan, who was on the side, hurriedly asked, "You mean, these clothes were asked for by Factory Director Zhou An... Factory Director Zhou, for you to take from the Design Department?"

Liu Mei nodded, then shook her head, explaining, "Just now, Yang Yuhong and I were at the main gate. Because there was a Mercedes parked on the side of the road, we were curious and took a few extra looks.

As a result, the car window suddenly opened, and then we saw Factory Director Zhou waving at us from inside the car. We hurried over and found that Factory Director Zhou's clothes were soaked through.

He told us he had things to do and didn't have time to go home to change. He originally wanted to go to the department store to buy a new one, but the store hadn't opened yet, so he came to our factory first to see if there were any suitable clothes.

He didn't tell me to come to the Design Department to get clothes; I felt myself that those clothes in the warehouse were too old, and most of them were winter clothes, not very suitable for Factory Director Zhou to wear now. So, I thought there should be many clothes here in the Design Department, and I hoped to find something suitable."

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Su Dali's mouth, his eyes revealing undisguised arrogance and disdain. He said in a provocative tone, "So what if it's Factory Director Zhou? Can clothes from the Design Department be taken just like that?

Besides, this is the latest designed suit, and it hasn't been finalized yet. If you take it out like this and someone imitates or plagiarizes it, our losses will be huge. Can you bear this responsibility?"
