Chapter 489: Showing Off

General Manager Ma waved his hand, saying: "General Manager Ma, stay calm, this matter is easy to handle."

"Jiang Chun, Chen Shui, I won't say anything else, you resign voluntarily."

Jiang Chun begged for mercy: "General Manager Ma, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, back then……"

General Manager Ma said impatiently: "Save yourself some face."

Jiang Chun hurriedly shut his mouth.

Chen Shui looked at Wu An: "You little brat…… you're ruthless!"

Having said that.

Fuming, he left the office.

Jiang Chun also followed him out.

After the two left, General Manager Ma looked at Wu An with a half-smile.

Wu An said somewhat embarrassedly: "General Manager Ma, sorry, I didn't come to discuss business."

"Mei Wu suffered a grievance at the factory……"

General Manager Ma poured a cup of tea: "Nothing to be embarrassed about."

"You helped Mei Wu, and also helped me eradicate a cancer."

"I don't usually come to this factory; I didn't expect the people below to behave so recklessly."

Wu An didn't respond, drank the tea and stood up.

General Manager Ma saw him to the door.

……

Walking to the office building, Mei Wu waited at the entrance on his vehicle.

Just as they left the factory, they saw Chen Shui and Jiang Chun fighting each other.

Wu An immediately helped call the police.

The police arrived quickly.

Those who came this time were not Yu Kai Lang and Liu Long.

But they were acquainted.

Just not very familiar.

Wu An not only served as an eyewitness, but also took a video as evidence, and pointed out that these two might retaliate, asking the police to educate them properly.

……

Returning to Shangwancun.

Wu Ping hadn't left yet; seeing Wu An and Mei Wu return, he hurriedly asked about the situation.

Mei Wu had taken cash.

Seeing the wages recovered, Mei Lao Yezi and the others were all happy: "Good, good, just getting the wages back is enough."

"Right."

"Chen Shui went with you guys, why didn't he come back together?"

Mei Wu greeted the neighbors dropping by, moved a stool to sit, cleared his throat and said: "This matter…… well, there's a lot to say about it."

"I went to the factory, and the boss looked for me."

"I was dazed; I'm just a lowly employee resigning, how could it alarm the boss?"

"You guys guess what's going on?"

Everyone asked: "What's going on?"

Mei Wu didn't beat around the bush, saying: "It turns out… the boss had caught onto the dirty deeds Chen Shui did at the factory."

"I was fired, also because of Chen Shui."

"Don't not believe me, I happen to have recorded it."

After hearing the recording, the neighbors immediately started cursing, saying Chen Shui was truly worthless, never expecting him to be the real mastermind behind the scenes.

We're all from the same village, how could he do such a thing?

Inviting him to meals, asking for his help, his words sounded so pleasant.

I spit.

This is too shameless.

That's right……

Seeing the villagers filled with righteous indignation, Wu Ping and Wu An brothers rose to take their leave.

They went out the door.

Wu Ping asked: "A An, it was you, right?"

Wu An nodded.

Wu Ping said: "What's there to hide about this?"

Wu An explained: "If I hadn't kept it secret, the old man wouldn't have scolded Chen Shui a couple of sentences, which wouldn't have warranted inviting Chen Shui for a drink."

Wu Ping shook his head, saying: "You little brat, you're impressive."

"However, you previously said Mei Wu was fired because of you; how is that again?"

Wu An said: "Chen Shui targeted Mei Wu under the orders of Chen Lao Da."

Wu Ping suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, then from now on……"

Wu An smiled: "Brother, don't worry, no matter what happens later, we won't be bullied."

"It shouldn't be us worrying about the future."

"It should be Chen Lao Da and them who worry."

He returned home.

Mei Yueqin asked, Wu Ping briefly explained the situation, Mei Yueqin heard that Chen Shui was behind it, naturally Mei Yueqin shouted a few curses, and then Mei Yueqin praised Wu An for his ability.

……

The next day.

It was the last day of September.

It was also the first important festival Wu An celebrated after his rebirth.

Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mid-Autumn customs vary from place to place, but no matter what the custom, the meaning is the same: during every festival one thinks of loved ones; now he can celebrate the festival together with his family.

Wu An got up early and started busying.

He tidied up the house.

He steamed and boiled sweet potatoes and taro.

Wu Yingwei also went to help; the village would have some activities for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the evening would be lively.

Noon.

A Qing came over to play.

They said the village was preparing to burn the pagoda towers, preparations were underway at the Village Committee square, many people were helping, and the village hadn't been this lively in a long time.

The last time it was this lively was during the Spring Festival.

Wu An listened, feeling emotional; the last time he had seen such a scene was many years ago.

It really makes one nostalgic.

Actually, there are quite a few customary activities around here.

In the future, it also stirred up quite a few online traffic hotspots.

Wu An had an idea and greeted A Qing, telling him to drive to town.

A Qing curiously said, "Brother, what are we going to buy?"

Wu An: "Fireworks."

A Qing's eyes lit up instantly: "Brother, are you serious?"

They arrived in town.

Fireworks were not cheap, a few hundred yuan per barrel; Wu An directly bought over ten barrels, filling the trunk completely.

He returned to the village and went to Lao Jiang's to buy wine.

He got out of the car.

An Audi also pulled up and parked beside Wu An's car.

A Qing got out of the car.

"Brother, it's Shen Nan."

Wu An nodded, brought A Qing into the small shop, greeted Lao Jiang, had Lao Jiang bring out the wine, bought wine at Lao Jiang's—whether it was cheap or not is hard to say, but it was definitely genuine.

Shen Nan came to buy cigarettes.

He immediately produced a pack of Hua Zi cigarettes.

He went out.

After walking around, a pack of cigarettes was gone.

"A Nan, you're really something—driving an Audi, smoking Hua Zi, you're clearly preparing to make a big splash in the village."

"Old Village Chief Shen, you're truly blessed to have such a promising grandson; from now on you can just enjoy your blessings."

"Goodness, this car is around three hundred thousand, right?"

"You've really made it, haven't you? It's your grandfather who insisted you return to the village to develop and lead us to prosperity."

"Amazing, amazing."

"Compared to you, the Wu family's second son is far behind."

"Indeed, Shen Nan's style far outshines that Wu An kid—he just greets people, doesn't hand out cigarettes, and even after making money he's still stingy."

A Qing, hearing everyone flatter Shen Nan while putting down Wu An, was furious: "Brother, listen to how infuriating what these people say is."

"Moreover, Shen Nan deliberately parked his car beside yours, clearly trying to outshine you."

"Or else I'll go smash his car tonight."

Wu An told him to calm down and drove off directly.

These village people, when they see a person they talk about people, when they see a ghost they talk about ghosts; on the surface they laugh and joke, but behind the scenes they might be scheming against Shen Nan.

As for Shen Nan……

Even A Qing could see that Shen Nan was deliberately showing off, and he naturally wasn't blind.

Shen Nan being so high-profile exceeded some of his expectations.

He returned home.

Wu Ping saw Wu An unloading so many fireworks from the car and asked, "A An, what are you buying all these fireworks for?"

"It's Mid-Autumn; let's celebrate properly tonight."

Wu Ping said, "What's there to celebrate? We do this every year…"

Mei Yueqin chimed in: "Why are you talking so much? Is it your money being spent?"

"A An is happy."

"It's not just for the festival; what's wrong with wanting to celebrate?"

Wu Ping gave in: "I… I was just talking off the cuff."
