CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 330: BUSINESS EMPIRE

Whenever the old woman said this in the past, Zhang Haijun would retort and fall out with his mother, but this time, Zhang Haijun didn’t say a word, and glared fiercely at Lin Cuifen.

This made Lin Cuifen, who had been glaring viciously at the old woman and Lin Xue after receiving a slap, jump in fright, not daring to make a fuss anymore.

Zhang Ting woke up the next afternoon, and when she learned that her uterus had been removed, she wanted to end it all by committing suicide, leaving Lin Cuifen to bear the consequences.

As for the divorce, in the end, Zhang Haijun couldn’t decide, given his daughter’s current situation, he was also at a loss for words.

As for what will happen in the future, that’s something they don’t care about. As long as Lin Cuifen doesn’t get her due punishment, they will let her experience separation and heartache. It’s that simple.

Time flew by, and soon it was the start of the school year.

Lin Daliang had been working for some days already, having done this job before, he was quick to get started, and received quite a few praises from his supervisors.

Plus, with Lin Xue being generous, she bought her father good cigarettes and gave him plenty, several packs to stash, so whenever Lin Daliang saw a supervisor, he would offer a cigarette.

Among the staff at the factory, he was well-regarded, and he had become more affable and articulate, regardless of the rank of the leader, he could navigate it all smoothly.

He also had someone backing him, so promotion was simple, just waiting for his tenure to qualify him for a rise.

However, Lin Xue and her husband were merely worried he’d feel bored and anxious, which is why they found him a job. They weren’t expecting him to become wealthy from it, so whether he got promoted or not didn’t matter, as long as he wasn’t laid off during the upcoming few years of downsizing.

To put it bluntly, it’s just a job to keep Lin Daliang happy. Earning that bit of money doesn’t amount to much, especially with their lifestyle expenses increasing.

Wang Cuihua didn’t think much of the trendy clothes sold in malls, priced at two to three hundred yuan a piece, as her second daughter would tailor her outfits.

Bai Xianglan could spend twenty to thirty yuan in a day shopping with the baby, either buying food or toys.

Lin Daliang’s monthly salary of over a hundred yuan wasn’t much help.

One day, the siblings went to report to school together. Zhang Yuan had started working and couldn’t come to send them off, but fortunately, Zhang Yu and Zhang Yang were both enrolled in this school, and Zhang Yu volunteered to come pick them up.

Each had a bicycle, and handsome men and beautiful women strolling down the street were quite a sight.

Zhang Yu was in the same grade as them this year, and the three sisters had been placed in the same class with him.

The Capital City wasn’t like their small county; there were plenty of affluent people here. However, even in the Capital City, they were among the wealthy and were always trendsetters in fashion.

Soon, Lin Yun became a hot commodity, and with fewer restrictions on starting businesses now, the streets began to buzz with vendors hawking their wares.

Inspired by modern thinking, how could she not seize the opportunity? This was her time to make a big move.

Though she was still a student, it didn’t impede her making a fortune.

On weekends, after school, she went to find Zhang Yuan and talked about her idea of buying land.

"Honey, which piece of land are you interested in? I’ll help you with it, so you can focus on studying! I’ll let you know once we’ve bought it!" Zhang Yuan was devoted to his wife and didn’t want her worried about such matters.

"Just buy the area near the suburbs; I plan to build a mall!" Lin Xue shared her thoughts. "Given the current development trends, the suburbs will soon become central, so let’s buy it now while prices are low."

"Alright! Leave it to me!" Zhang Yuan patted her head. "Let’s go out to eat!"

The factory had a cafeteria where they could eat lunch, but today’s a weekend, and few are working, so it might not be open. That’s why Zhang Yuan planned to take her out to dine.

"Let’s just eat here! I’ve prepared the meal and brought it with me!" Lin Xue saw his office door was closed, quickly taking out several lunch boxes from storage.

Just to be safe from being seen, she used aluminum lunch boxes.

"You’re the best, honey!" Zhang Yuan smiled, pulling Lin Xue in for a kiss.

"Let’s eat quickly! You still have to buy land for me!" Lin Xue pushed him away and began opening the lunch boxes, filled with dishes Zhang Yuan loved.

They sat together, sharing the meal intimately, feeding each other bites.

"By the way, hubby, I’m worried I might not have enough money after buying land and building the mall. I might need to sell some goods. Can you still contact the friends we sold cigarettes, alcohol, and tea to?" Lin Xue asked while eating, realizing she might be short on funds.

"No problem, I’ll contact them. Regulations aren’t strict now, so you can sell more batches!" Zhang Yuan readily agreed to her requests, especially after enjoying her lovingly prepared lunch.

As they ate, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a girl’s voice.

"Director Zhang, it’s me, Xiao Yue!" This was the secretary assigned to Zhang Yuan from above, and being a major leader’s daughter, he couldn’t refuse. Typically, she’d manage worker affairs.

"What’s the matter?" Zhang Yuan asked sternly.

"Director Zhang, please open the door. I have something to discuss!" Shen Yue stood nervously at the door, clutching a food box tightly.

She wasn’t supposed to work today, but knowing the director would be at the factory every Saturday, she chose to stay, having gone home earlier to carefully make dumplings to bring.

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to open the door, as this secretary managed the worker’s affairs. Not working today, her unscheduled visit likely meant something needed discussion.

When he opened the door, there stood Shen Yue in a colorful long dress, hair curled and pinned behind her ears, with a delicate makeup—posing coquettishly.

"Director Zhang, you work even during the weekend, working so hard. I’ve specially made dumplings for you! I’m not sure of your favorite filling, so I made sauerkraut ones. Let me know your preferences next time, and I’ll make them for you!" She blushed, lowering her head, then handed over the dumplings.

Zhang Yuan stepped back, while Lin Xue kindly accepted the dumplings for him.

However, Shen Yue, with her head down, didn’t realize this. Feeling someone had taken the dumplings, her heart raced with joy, ready to leap.

"Thanks for the dumplings, but my husband has already eaten! Why don’t you take these back for yourself? It’ll be a waste to throw them away!" Lin Xue returned the lunch boxes once Shen Yue lifted her head.

"What? Your husband..." Shen Yue initially wanted to ask what her husband eating had to do with her.

But lifting her head, she noticed Director Zhang’s hand resting on this woman’s waist.

It was a thunderbolt for her; this woman’s husband is Director Zhang?

Unwilling to give up, she glanced into the office, spotting several lunch boxes on the table, a bucket of cold water poured over her.
