The visit from Qing Wenyu was a routine safety inspection before the New Year. When the Factory Director and mid-level leaders accompanied him to the Inspection Station, they witnessed the thrilling scene of someone holding sulfuric acid, ready to throw it at others.
Song Pearl watched as Gao Xiaoxia nearly got splashed with sulfuric acid, her laughter giving the impression of gloating to those around them. Fortunately, Yuan Peng's timely teasing and Qing Wenyu's quick intervention stopped what could have been a disastrous situation.
Those people quickly left, while Gao Xiaoxia was left sniffling, tears streaming down her face like a rushing river that wouldn't stop.
When Song Pearl returned after putting away the sulfuric acid, she found that the ground beneath Gao Xiaoxia was already littered with used tissues.
Feeling somewhat at a loss, Song Pearl didn't know how to comfort her. She poured a glass of water and walked over to Gao Xiaoxia, gently patting her back. "It's okay, don't cry anymore. Drink some water to calm down!"
Gao Xiaoxia took a sip from the water Song Pearl handed her, raised her swollen eyes, and smiled brightly through her heavy nasal voice. "I can't believe it was Secretary Qing who saved me! I think Secretary Qing is getting more handsome!"
Is Secretary Qing really handsome? Song Pearl pursed her lips. Back in school, she had no sense of aesthetics and couldn't distinguish beauty from ugliness—could it be true?
In her mind, as long as someone was kind, cheerful, not overly aggressive or combative, and had decent features without being disfigured or hunchbacked, then that person was considered handsome.
For example, Song Shiting and Wang Xingxing from Song Family Village, or Wan Jiang and Wang Shuzhi from the factory along with Yuan Peng—she felt these people were all quite handsome.
But she never thought about what made Qing Wenyu handsome. He seemed somewhat overbearing and aloof, distant and unreachable; they were not of the same social class.
As just a secretary, he carried himself with an air of cold arrogance that she didn't like.
At that moment, the Factory Director and the office manager were surrounding Qing Wenyu, explaining what had just happened. They understood that this man was more than just an envoy; his influence in Hongqinghua was equivalent to that of a chairman or CEO.
The Hong family only had one daughter, while Qing Wenyu was the only son of Qing Yuansheng.
Running a partnership business wasn't easy. The collaboration between Qing Yuansheng and Hong Dong had grown steadily without any signs of splitting up; they continued to work together harmoniously.
After the only daughter of Hong Dong returned, the Hongqing families were set to become in-laws, with the future of Hongqing being Qing Wenyu, a conclusion that had already circulated among the senior shareholders of the group.
"It is my negligence in management for not paying attention to personal matters. There are too many young men and women here, and we will strictly manage this aspect in the future to prevent such incidents from happening again," Ban Chengdong said.
"I must take some responsibility for my department's personnel..." Minister Liu hurriedly admitted fault.
"I ask that Secretary Qing not report this matter. Let's resolve it internally within our factory!" the Factory Director pondered, "These two are not outsiders; they are probably just having a quarrel..."
The young man who had just raised sulfuric acid to splash at someone was Li Ming, the Factory Director's nephew, who did not want this matter to escalate.
Qing Wenyu understood the implication of the Factory Director's words. Although the scene at that moment was very dangerous and could have resulted in a serious injury incident if not controlled properly, since the Factory Director had made a request, he would still give him this face.
After the routine safety inspection was completed, the professionals who came to check would follow up on the issues found on-site. Yuan Peng drove away with Qing Wenyu first.
"This factory is really chaotic. What’s up with your Song Pearl? She was so ridiculous," Yuan Peng laughed while driving. "She neither screamed in fright nor hid away; she just stood there smiling when it happened. How can someone be like that? I don't know if she considers herself air or others as air..."
Yuan Peng had practically grown up following Qing Wenyu around and spoke quite casually.
Qing Wenyu had an impression of Song Pearl but did not expect her to come to Hongqing Group.
Song Pearl was not very pretty, and her attire was quite plain.
From Qing Wenyu's aesthetic perspective, Song Pearl lacked any sense of beauty; she belonged to that type of person he wouldn’t want to see again after their first meeting. However, unexpectedly, he kept encountering her repeatedly over the past few days and found that she wasn't as unattractive as he initially thought after seeing her several times.
He had a deep impression of her eyes; when silent, they seemed like a still pool without ripples. When she spoke, her bright yet somewhat indifferent gaze occasionally revealed a wise and calm light that seemed capable of seeing through everything...
However, her actions and expressions were always out of sync; her eyes clearly sparkled with calmness while her face bore a silly smile...
"It is somewhat amusing..." Qing Wenyu said.
"Exactly," Yuan Peng laughed. "She also has a very handsome cousin who is incredibly strong..."
Yuan Peng's eyes sparkled with admiration. "Do you remember the last time I drove them home? That village is really poor, and her cousin drove an off-road vehicle to their village for fun, but the car broke down, so he hitched a ride back with me."
"Uh, did he not pay for the ride?" Qing Wenyu asked.
If Song Pearl were here, she would definitely question her judgment of character; this man she thought was cold as ice also enjoyed gossip.
"Haha, you guessed it right," Yuan Peng laughed heartily. "So we ended up fighting. Strictly speaking, I got beaten up by him."
"You got beaten up and you're still happy?" Qing Wenyu raised an eyebrow.
"You have no idea; he's a master. I don't know where he learned martial arts, but it's not easy to get hit by him. His movements are incredibly fast; I was down in one move..." Yuan Peng's excitement was palpable. This story would be like talking to a wall for others, but now that Qing Wenyu was back, he could finally share it.
If he told this to someone else, they would just laugh at him for bragging. He considered Qing Wenyu a confidant and never doubted that he had some credibility.
"He taught you a few moves?" Qing Wenyu asked.
"Three moves. I practiced a few, and when I tried them out, they worked really well. I've already tested them against others several times; even when several people came at me at once, they couldn't get close!"
"He must have made you agree to something in return for teaching you those impressive moves, right?"
"You can see that too?" Yuan Peng smiled as he turned back to look at Qing Wenyu, who was sitting in the back seat.
"If you didn't agree to something, how could you come here for the safety inspection and push the driver into another car to take over driving yourself while subtly praising Song Pearl?" Qing Wenyu said calmly.
"Hey hey. The boss is wise." Yuan Peng was not too embarrassed after being seen through; anyway, he had achieved his goal.
"What were you rambling about over there?" Qing Wenyu asked casually, showing no signs of anger.
"Nothing much, I just casually mentioned that President Hong and Qing Zong both seem to appreciate Song Pearl..."
This statement was not wrong; that was indeed the case. Otherwise, those two bosses wouldn't have easily agreed to acquire the land of Song Family Village while leaving Song Pearl's house intact. They even let Song Pearl work at Hongqing, which showed how much they valued her.
"This factory will be relocating soon, so you don't need to worry. If Song Pearl really has the ability, she won't need any special care."
"It's a matter of loyalty to those who entrust us, but thankfully her working environment isn't as bad as I imagined. I thought she would be moving iron blocks in a workshop!"
Although Yuan Peng was somewhat carefree, he was loyal, trustworthy, and bold in his actions, which Qing Wenyu greatly appreciated.
"Song Pearl studied Animal Husbandry. She suggested the planning for the Songjia Village Ecological Breeding Park, which ties in with the Resort our group is preparing. It's a tourism project with great development potential. Next year, she will likely be transferred to help plan the Ecological Aquaculture Farm. Are you interested in the Resort?"
Qing Wenyu stretched his long legs lazily in the back seat of the car, which was quite contrary to his icy demeanor.
"My goal for next year is to join the military and strive to become a great soldier, eventually marrying the daughter of a Minister or a military commander... then I'll be on my way to success." Yuan Peng pulled out a bottle of gum, tossed a piece into his mouth, and threw the bottle back to Qing Wenyu in the back seat.
"I don't eat that," Qing Wenyu scoffed and tossed the bottle back to him. "Why didn't you have this ambition before?"
"Wasn't it because I didn't have the conditions? You know I applied once but didn't get selected. I heard our company has spots for guaranteed admissions, so next year you have to help me out!" Yuan Peng's playful smile quickly turned into a pleading expression.
Qing Wenyu kicked his seatback. "Drive properly; let's focus on this year first before thinking about next year!"
"Of course." Yuan Peng returned to his playful grin.
The arm couldn't twist the thigh. Secondly, Minister Liu really took the bag of fertilizer samples to the city's quality inspection department, but did not let Song Pearl go with him. Because of the Gao Xiaoxia incident, Minister Liu was reprimanded by the Factory Director, and Gao Xiaoxia was also transferred from the Inspection Station and sent directly back to the Human Resources Department. In this way, Inspection Station is temporarily short of manpower, and Factory Director agrees to let Song Pearl continue to stay in Inspection Station for a while, and then let her leave when a suitable candidate is found. Since Song Pearl is allowed to stay, it must first be proven whether her ability is up to standard, so Minister Liu alone sent the sample to City Bureau for comparison testing. The experimental report came back quickly, saying that Minister Liu’s bag of fertilizer noodles indeed had no nutrients and was a fake product. City Bureau asked for clues and wanted to seize it. It was bought in the spring. The person responsible for buying the fertilizer has resigned, and there is no way to investigate. In the end, the matter was settled. The factory is on holiday at the end of the year, and we get off work at 12 noon. SongPearl who stayed here for more than half a month without leaving happily returned to Song Family Village with year-end benefits from the company shuttle bus to bus and then to Tricycle.
