Chapter 10: Jia Zhangshi, Do You Want to Be the Entire Institute's Public Enemy?

After patiently listening to Yan Bu Gui's words, Yi Zhonghai calmed down a bit and asked, somewhat incredulously:

"His San Da Ye, is what you said true?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Of course it's true."

"I heard Factory Director Yang say it with my own ears."

While saying that, he pointed to the east side room and continued:

"Well, Factory Director Yang gave the east side room, as well as that ear room, all to Shengli."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Lin Shengli and asked:

"Shengli, did you repair a machine in a northeastern steel mill that no one in the country could fix?"

"Did you also lead the construction of a 630‑mm clamp‑type planetary rolling machine in the northeast?"

Lin Shengli, with a modest expression, said, "Uncle, I just happened to run into a blind mouse."

Yi Zhonghai shouted three "good" words.

Then he exclaimed:

"Shengli, Uncle is proud of you."

"You are still young yet already a leader in the industry."

"No wonder Factory Director Yang values you so much; he made you the deputy Section Chief of the technical department as soon as you arrived."

"What's rare is that you're still so modest."

"Shengli, good job!"

His words hung in the air.

The onlookers couldn't help but stir.

They had just held their breath to listen to Yan Bu Gui and Yi Zhonghai.

Fearing they'd miss a word, because Lin Shengli is now a leader in the factory.

Now they could no longer hold back.

"Not only handsome, but also so talented; becoming a leader at such a young age, truly impressive."

"I've long seen that he's no ordinary person."

"College students are never simple."

"Old Li, your daughter looks decent; why not matchmake them?"

"Forget it, my daughter couldn't match them."

Qin Huairu stood quietly there, listening to the crowd's chatter, watching Lin Shengli's handsome face, and sighed inwardly:

"Eye‑candy, just eye‑candy!"

"Unfortunately I married early; if only I were ten or so years younger."

"I'll definitely get him."

At first, of course, she also noticed Lin Shengli's handsomeness.

She just thought Lin Shengli was all looks.

Otherwise, why would she turn to Yi Zhonghai?

She, being all looks, couldn't stand him—no house, no money, no job, just a rural household registration.

Indeed.

She thought that was only natural.

Turning to Yi Zhonghai, she obviously had nothing.

Back then, she was set up with Jia Dongxu because she liked that Jia Dongxu had an urban household registration, a house, a job, and a mother to support him.

Otherwise, just because Jia Dongxu was a bit handsome, she could never have agreed.

But Lin Shengli not only had a house and a job, he was also a college student and became a leader; his salary might even surpass Yi Zhonghai's.

And Lin Shengli is far more handsome than Jia Dongxu.

She regrets it, she hates it.

Why wasn't she born ten years later?

Just as she was remorseful, a strange, sarcastic voice from Jia Zhangshi rang out:

"What leader, what nephew, you still don't know what's real or fake; it could be an impostor."

Wow!

The crowd stirred again.

"Why is this old woman like that? Can't stand seeing others do well."

"Is it so hard to acknowledge others' excellence?"

"Exactly, this person is truly vicious."

"Red‑eye disease! Jia Grandma must have red‑eye disease!"

"Hey hey hey, you don't know yet, their family has always been eyeing the San Da Ye's fortune."

"No wonder she's upset."

"Actually, I think she makes some sense."

"I also think, meeting for the first time, they immediately assume he's their nephew, not worrying about impostors?"

When Jia Zhangshi spoke, Qin Huairu instantly stepped back two steps.

As if to distance herself from Jia Zhangshi.

The sensitive Jia Zhangshi immediately turned his head, glared viciously at Qin Huairu, and cursed inwardly:

"You lowlife, so eager to draw a line with me—hum, just you wait, I'll kill you!"

How dare you not join my united front!

Her son Jia Dongxu is still alive; she is full of confidence and even wildly ruthless.

Not only does she make Qin Huairu do all the work, she herself just loafs around, waiting to die.

Moreover, whenever she's displeased, she takes it out on Qin Huairu, even beating people.

Not only toward Qin Huairu, but also toward her granddaughters Xiao Dang and Huaihua she acts the same.

Sometimes when she's furious, she even beats her grandson Bang Geng without hesitation.

Now her eyes are only for Jia Dongxu.

Anything delicious is always reserved for Jia Dongxu.

Later, Jia Dongxu met with an accident and passed away.

As the family's sole male descendant, Bang Geng was then cherished and pampered in her palm.

Qin Huairu took over Jia Dongxu's job, earned money, and only then did she dare not strike again.

She fears that Qin Huairu will send her back to the countryside.

After all, she has always been a rural household registration.

Actually.

She has always harbored resentment toward Qin Huairu.

Because Qin Huairu is a rural household registration, children follow the mother, causing her grandchildren to also be rural household registration.

While she curses Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu also curses her in her heart.

This pigbrain!

I've told you not to speak, yet you still won't listen.

Now you've offended both Eldest Uncle and Yi Dama.

And you've also offended the new leader.

Hmph, Jia Dongxu is just following you.

Stupid as a pig.

Eldest Uncle has taught so diligently for so many years, yet he's still only a first-class fitter.

How did I end up with such a litter of stupid pigs!

Regret!

Hatred!

Now speaking of Lin Shengli.

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, he gave a light smile, beckoned her with a finger, and said:

"Auntie, if you have any ideas, come forward and speak."

Letting Jia Zhangshi come forward was just to make it easier to hit her.

If she dares to say something vicious, he will certainly not indulge her.

Jia Zhangshi snorted and said, "Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

While speaking, she had already walked up to Lin Shengli and Eldest Uncle.

Qin Huairu let out a soft sigh and gently shook her head.

It's over, everything is over.

If things become impossible in the future, don't blame me, you pigbrain!

Qin Huairu seemed to see the wallet that was once within easy reach slipping farther away.

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger, looked at Jia Zhangshi and asked:

"Old sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

Jia Zhangshi, not knowing where her confidence came from, said:

"Eldest Uncle, you should know what kind of person I am; I cannot tolerate injustice, and upon seeing it I will definitely draw my sword to help."

"Moreover, I never lie, and I am also accurate in judging people."

"You should understand all this, right?"

"If I don't voice my opinion today, you will surely blame me later."

"So today I would rather be the villain and speak up."

Upon saying that.

Everyone present laughed.

They all secretly thought, "Where does this fat woman get her confidence?"

Yan Bu Gui couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "puff."

Jia Zhangshi glared at Yan Bu Gui and said angrily:

"What are you laughing at!"

"There's nothing funny."

Yan Bu Gui, feeling resentful, said: "Hey hey, Bang Geng's grandmother, you're meddling too much!"

"You won't even let me laugh?"

Guan Yushan smiled and asked, "Jia Zhangshi, do you really want to become the public enemy of the whole courtyard?"
