Once he got out of the car, Yang Cheng opened the door with the key and walked into the living room in the blink of an eye.
Although he said he would be home today, his sudden return startled the two women who were watching TV at home.
However, Lin Ruoxi wasn't among them, only Hui Lin and Mother Wang were resting at home. The two of them were watching Beijing Opera and Mother Wang was humming along with the tune with a smile.
Seeing Yang Cheng barging in, Hui Lin was still fine, but Mother Wang who was immersed in the drama slapped her chest and scolded jokingly, "Young Master, you're exaggerating too much. You're like Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in heaven when you come home."
Mother Wang's metaphor is so vivid … Yang Cheng sweated and looked around, "Where's Ruoxi? She should have come back long ago, isn't she still on holiday? Did she go to work again? "
Hui Lin saw Yang Cheng asking where Lin Ruoxi was the moment he arrived home and felt strange. He was talking about a divorce just now, how did he become a good husband who misses his wife?
"Sister went to a small town to inspect a factory, I heard the workers are rebelling," Hui Lin said.
Yang Cheng frowned, factory? Rebelling?
Mother Wang sighed, "She left less than an hour ago, if you had come home earlier, you would have seen her."
Yang Cheng faintly felt that something was wrong. Because Yu Lei International produced all kinds of products, there were many extensive factories under them. However, why would Lin Ruoxi, the CEO of the headquarters, go and inspect the lowest level of management?
"Mother Wang, tell me what happened in detail," Yang Cheng asked.
Mother Wang nodded and told him the general situation.
As it was nearing the Lunar New Year, a garment factory under Yu Lei International had a problem with unpaid wages.
The factory's reason was that it lacked funds and had suffered losses this year, but the workers did not believe it. They began to surround the factory's director and some cadres, and even gave the local township cadres a headache.
Most of these workers were migrant workers who came to Zhonghai to work. They wanted to take some money and go back to their hometown for the New Year. There was only one month left, and they had not received more than half of their salary. Of course, the workers were not happy.
Lin Ruoxi, the CEO of Yu Lei International, didn't have to deal with such an incident. However, the headquarters of Yu Lei International had already started their year-end holiday and vacation. The main people in charge of the HR and Marketing departments weren't around, and some of them weren't qualified enough.
In the end, the matter reached Lin Ruoxi's ears. Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and decided to personally resolve the matter.
"Actually, Miss Qianni said that she wanted to go, but I don't know what happened to her. She said that she didn't want to stay at home all the time, so she fought to go," Mother Wang said helplessly.
Don't want to stay at home?
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. She just didn't want to see him, so she wanted to avoid him. In addition, she didn't go to work these days, so she deliberately found something to leave the house and didn't want to see him.
"She didn't go alone, right?" Yang Cheng asked.
"Who else could she go with? Miss said she could handle it, so the other managers in the company didn't dare to offend her," Mother Wang said.
Yang Cheng was a little anxious. He was worried about Lin Ruoxi far more than he expected. He couldn't sit still at all.
Going to the lowest level of the factory to face the anger of hundreds of low-level workers, how could a young woman like her handle this? He wasn't an intellectual who would reason with you. What he wanted was money. Other theories were useless without money. If it was so easy to solve, the local government leaders would have solved it long ago. Why would the headquarters send people over?
Moreover, although Lin Ruoxi was very smart in business, her EQ was obviously very low. Otherwise, she wouldn't have a cold face all day long. She would let the public relations department handle all the social engagements, and she only had a few friends. It was harder than reaching the sky for her to solve this problem in front of a group of uncouth men, gangsters, and sly local officials.
The more Yang Cheng thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He asked Mother Wang, "Which town did Ruoxi go to?"
"Oh, Yuping Town. It's only an hour's drive from Zhonghai City, but the road is quite circuitous. There are many small villages, so it'll probably take two hours." Mother Wang said.
Yang Cheng stood up and said, "I'm a little worried. I'll go and see what's going on. Mother Wang, don't wait for me for dinner."
"Brother Yang, why don't I go too? I'm worried about my sister too." Hui Lin's eyes were filled with worry.
Yang Cheng thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm worried about Mother Wang at home alone. You should spend more time with her. Moreover, you're a girl too. You won't be a deterrent even if you go. "
Hui Lin knew that what Yang Cheng said was the truth. She couldn't possibly point a sword at the workers and shout, "This heroine is here, don't rebel." Moreover, she didn't bring her sword with her, so she didn't say anything else.
Yang Cheng's BMW had its own GPS navigation system. Naturally, Lin Ruoxi's car had it too. Therefore, Yang Cheng wasn't afraid that he couldn't find Lin Ruoxi. If he drove faster, he might be able to catch up with her.
Before leaving, Yang Cheng asked for the name of the factory, "Yuping Garment". After checking the address, he set off immediately.
Twenty minutes later, the car entered a provincial road in the suburbs. It was no longer a smooth highway. There were many forks on both sides of the road. It was difficult to go fast. There were often pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles passing by.
Yang Cheng guessed that based on Lin Ruoxi's personality, she wouldn't dare to drive too fast. There was a high chance that he would catch up with her.
However, Yang Cheng underestimated the "fate" between him and Sister Lin.
After a quarter of an hour, Yang Cheng entered a village at the edge of Zhonghai. In front of a small private supermarket by the village road, Yang Cheng was shocked to see Lin Ruoxi's red Bentley parked there quietly.
Yang Cheng parked the car in front of the supermarket. After he got out of the car, he looked around. He didn't see Lin Ruoxi.
Just as he was about to walk into the supermarket to ask, he saw a tall woman wearing a beige British-style coat and a brown Gucci bag. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She was talking on her phone as she walked out of the supermarket.
Seeing the familiar cold beauty, Yang Cheng revealed a comforting smile and waved at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was talking to the person on the phone. Her brows were slightly furrowed. When she saw Yang Cheng suddenly appear in front of her, she almost forgot to speak. She was obviously stunned.
A few seconds later, Lin Ruoxi hung up the phone and walked in front of Yang Cheng without saying a word. She stared at Yang Cheng as if she was studying something.
Being stared at, Yang Cheng felt a little weak and smiled awkwardly. "Although I don't think I'm ugly, I'm not very handsome either. I'll be proud if you look at me like this."
Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Cheng's joke and asked coldly, "Who asked you to follow me?"
"My wife, Ruoxi, how can I rest assured if you go to the village alone to deal with such a group of men …" Yang Cheng said truthfully.
"Mr. Yang, please pay attention to your words. Who is your wife?" Lin Ruoxi's pretty face was like frost. Her eyes were like a knife that cut across Yang Cheng's face. "And whether I can deal with them or not, it's none of your business. We're just a contract couple. We don't interfere in each other's private affairs. We'll be divorced in a few months. You'd better stay away from me. I don't want to see you. "
Yang Cheng was embarrassed. He knew that he must have been cold-shouldered, but he wasn't angry. He asked directly, "Aren't you going to Yuping Town? Why did you stop here? "
"It's none of your business. You can go back. I'll solve my own business." After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, she turned around and walked back into the supermarket.
Yang Cheng was helpless. He walked around the car and immediately found the problem. It turned out that one of the front tires of the Bentley had been punctured by a nail!
This kind of thing was indeed inevitable on such a small road in the countryside. No wonder Lin Ruoxi couldn't move.
Although the Bentley Elegance was not a super rare car, it was not something that could be repaired by any tire mender. What's more, this was a village. There might not even be a motorcycle tire mender, let alone a high-end car tire.
Yang Cheng caught up and asked Lin Ruoxi, "Have you contacted the repair shop?"
Although Lin Ruoxi didn't want to pay attention to Yang Cheng, she was not an unreasonable and crazy woman. So, when Yang Cheng asked seriously, she would answer. She said coldly, "Wu Yue has already asked someone to come and load the car."
"What about yourself? Are you going to leave the car behind? "
"I'll call someone to pick me up." Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
"Who are you looking for? Aren't I right here?" Yang Cheng said.
"I want to go to Yuping."
"I'll take you there. I'll be your assistant and also your bodyguard. You know I'm very good at fighting. Those people won't be able to get close to you." Yang Cheng winked at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated. She didn't want to forgive Yang Cheng so quickly. She wanted to compromise with him and break the deadlock. However, she would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid of going to the low-level processing plant alone. In the face of nearly a thousand workers, Lin Ruoxi was indeed worried that violence would happen.
Even if Lin Ruoxi didn't think that Yang Cheng could be of much help, two people were still better than one. If it weren't for her assistant Wu Yue being on vacation, Lin Ruoxi would have definitely brought her along.
"You wanted to go, I didn't force you to go." Lin Ruoxi didn't want Yang Cheng to feel that she needed someone to accompany her, so she added.
Yang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart. He was still holding on to his face, so he said, "Yes, yes, I'm going as a public official, not as a private person. General Lin, are you satisfied now?"
Lin Ruoxi knew that her little thoughts had been seen through. Her pretty face blushed, and she coldly snorted and turned her head to hide her embarrassment.
But who knew that just as she finished hiding it, Lin Ruoxi's stomach made a rumbling sound …
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly covered her stomach with one hand. Her face was burning, and it was so red that juice could drip out …
I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Why did I have to continuously embarrass myself in front of this guy!?
Yang Cheng was also stunned. He immediately knew that Lin Ruoxi hadn't eaten lunch when she went out, so she was hungry now. Seeing her depressed look, he smiled and said, "What's there to be shy about? Whether it's a president or a beauty, you're still a human. Humans have to eat. If you don't eat, your stomach will growl. This is the same logic as humans fart."
Lin Ruoxi bit her lower lip and pretended not to hear anything, but she felt a little better in her heart. She had never been so embarrassed in front of a man since she was young. Her car had a flat tire, her face was exposed, and even her stomach was growling with hunger … This was too miserable.
Yang Cheng didn't laugh at her. This kind of small matter in the eyes of ordinary people might be very troublesome for Lin Ruoxi, who had an extremely high self-esteem, especially in front of him. So he smiled lightly and said, "Let's go into the supermarket and buy something to eat."
