Chapter 355: Pregnant

When the pregnancy of their daughter was brought up, Yu Wanrong's face immediately showed an uncontrollable anger.

"Of course I didn't tell him; otherwise, he'd have even more reason to cling to our family.

This bastard is just infuriating; you could say his actions within marriage are unforgivable, but to do this after a divorce—he's obviously seeking revenge."

Lin Zhenfeng let out a sigh; Lu Cheng doing such a thing also made him angry.

"Since you don't intend to let Lu Cheng know, what do you plan to do about the daughter?"

Yu Wanrong thought for a moment, then resolved harshly: "Abort the child; it's still in time!"

In any case, we cannot let the child be born; we only have this one daughter, and if the child is born, Yan Yan's whole life is ruined, and our Lin Family is ruined as well.

Listening to his wife's words, Lin Zhenfeng suddenly felt helpless; having just arrived here with no acquaintances, coordinating work became much more difficult.

That already gave him a headache, and on top of that his family had a whole bundle of distressing matters.

First, after the daughter's divorce, she swore she would never marry into the Qin Family, and the work transfer had already been issued; with no way around it, Yu Wanrong could only give the daughter time to cool down, and after she calmed, slowly persuade her.

What caught Yu Wanrong off guard was that, not long ago, the daughter suddenly began feeling nauseous.

At first she didn't pay attention, assuming it was due to the unfamiliar climate.

Yu Wanrong herself vomited once in the first few days after arriving.

But after staying in Ha City for a while, the daughter's symptoms not only didn't lessen, they grew worse.

Yu Wanrong felt something was wrong; she thought of something in her mind but couldn't bring herself to believe it at once.

With a nervous heart, she took her daughter to the hospital for a check-up, and the hospital informed them that the daughter was pregnant, which almost made Yu Wanrong faint on the spot.

Under repeated pressure, the daughter finally admitted she had been intimate with Lu Cheng, and repeatedly emphasized that it was entirely her own decision and had nothing to do with Lu Cheng.

But how could Yu Wanrong possibly believe such words.

It must have been that Lu Cheng was drunk that night, and using his drunkenness he did that to the daughter.

But don't think that Yu Wanrong would then approve of Lu Cheng; on the contrary, it makes her despise him even more.

It also solidified her resolve to have the daughter abort the child, and from then on the two are forbidden to meet again.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhenfeng felt that this was too cruel to the daughter.

As the wife who knows him best, Yu Wanrong naturally knew what he was thinking.

"Lao Lin, over these years we've endured too many fluctuations of human kindness; think of how many people have thrown smelly shoes at us, spat on us…"

Only when the Lin Family becomes strong will no one dare to provoke us again; at this moment, we must not be soft-hearted.

The marriage has already ended, and now that we've reached this point, Yu Wanrong believes the Lin Family has no way back and can only grit their teeth and move forward.

……

"Get off, get off, get off…"

Seeing Director Liu remain seated in the vehicle and not get out, the workers' emotions were further inflamed, turning the initial request into a unified shout.

It wasn't until Secretary Song pushed through the crowd and ran over that Director Liu finally opened the car door.

"Secretary Song, what's going on?"

Secretary Song, a bit embarrassed, hurriedly dispersed the crowd: "What are you all crowding around for? Quickly disperse, disperse, let Director Liu's car pass…"

The workers, relying on their numbers, thought that even if accountability couldn't be placed on an individual, they could boldly shout.

"Secretary Song, we are here to ask Director Liu to help rehabilitate Tan Zonggong."

"Right, if he refuses, we won't let him leave."

Secretary Song instantly hardened his expression: "Nonsense! Tan Zonggong's matter is decided by the organization; you don't need to meddle, disperse immediately."

"We won't disperse; Director Liu represents the organization, he must have a way."

"Indeed, Secretary Song, don't you want Tan Zonggong back? Look at how glorious our Factory Area was when Tan Zonggong was here, and compare it to now…"

Those few sentences struck a chord with Secretary Song; the workers were speaking the truth.

Since losing Tan Zonggong, many technical problems in the Factory Area have remained unsolved.

If it weren't for Tan Zonggong's covert assistance this time, they wouldn't have been able to complete the superior's task.

Therefore, he naturally also wants Tan Kaiping to return to the Factory Area.

But having him go directly to the Revolutionary Committee to rehabilitate Tan Kaiping might backfire and make him vulnerable to influence.

He instantly devised a plan: it would be better to use today's workers' emotions and let the workers speak.

Anyway, they're not his organization's workers; if something goes wrong, it hardly concerns him, at most he'll be criticized as the primary responsible person.

"Director Liu, look at this… I don't know what's wrong, they won't listen to me."

Director Liu frowned; today's workers were indeed a bit off, and although they had come to the Vehicle Factory before, none had mentioned any worker wanting to rehabilitate Tan Kaiping.

Why such a strong reaction today? Director Liu couldn't help recalling Lu Cheng's speech on stage earlier; it was probably this guy stirring things up.

It was Lu Cheng publicly mentioning Tan Kaiping that ignited the workers' emotions.

But Lu Cheng wasn't seen leading the disturbance on site; although Director Liu suspected him, he lacked evidence.

With so many petitioning workers, he couldn't just turn a blind eye, so he could only put on a show.

"That Secretary Song, what exactly is the story with the Tan Zonggong they're talking about?"

Secretary Song was momentarily stunned, silently cursing the old fox.

You know better than anyone about Tan Kaiping's affairs; back then it was the Revolutionary Committee's discussion that defined the academic issue.

Thinking that way, he also couldn't publicly save face for them.

"Director Liu, here's the thing: Tan Kaiping was originally a comrade in our factory, with exceptionally outstanding professional ability; one could say that since the Vehicle Factory's founding, Tan Zonggong contributed half of its effort…"

Director Liu waved his hand to interrupt.

"What happened to Tan Zonggong later?"

"Later, because of academic issues, he was transferred to the Farm."

Director Liu nodded: "Hmm, I understand. I will consider this matter seriously, and if there's a chance later, we'll hold a special conference to study it."

If it had been last year, the workers would have beaten him to death today, and he wouldn't dare utter such words.

That is, the circumstances have changed now; indeed, many who were once overthrown have started submitting paperwork.

But to completely strip these people of their titles, we still have to wait a bit, until the overarching policy becomes clearer.

Therefore, he temporarily made an evasive remark, saying he'd first pacify the workers.

But the workers aren't that easy to be placated.

"No, what kind of meeting is this? You could hold meetings for years."

"Exactly, let's just settle it right here today; our Chief Engineer Tan Zonggong has already returned, any problems can be clarified in person."

When Pan Jihai earlier had the workers stop the car, he straight away said that Chief Engineer Tan was at home at that moment.

Seeing the atmosphere had risen to this point, Director Liu felt helpless; if they didn't see Tan Kaiping today, the workers wouldn't be willing.

At that moment, Tan Kaiping, having packed his luggage, was bidding farewell to his family.
