70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 409 Apology Fee

The air was filled with white vapor carrying the smell of coal ash.

Chen Qing stared intently at the figures at the exit of the station.

He was tall and slender, with a blank expression, a hard profile, a tight jawline, and a look of weariness from a long journey and a habitual sense of detachment in his eyes.

Chen Qing noticed that he hadn't lost much weight, but he seemed very tired, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

He Yuan carried simple luggage, his gaze calmly sweeping over the crowd, a thin layer of frost surrounding him, and slowly walked out.

"Uncle-in-law!"

Xiao Yu shouted excitedly, broke free from her aunt's hand, and ran towards her uncle.

He Yuxiang also stepped forward a few steps.

He Yuan suddenly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Yu running towards him. A look of disbelief flashed across his eyes. He subconsciously squatted down and caught Xiao Yu who rushed into his arms.

After being hugged by her uncle, Xiaoyu pointed in the direction of her aunt and said, "Auntie is over there!"

The two looked at each other.

When He Yuan saw her arrive, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes filled with a burning yet restrained joy.

Seeing that he was holding his sister, He Yuxiang took his suitcase for him.

He Yuan looked down at He Yuxiang and smiled, "You've grown taller."

He Yuxiang nodded proudly.

The three walked towards Chen Qing. He Yuan looked at the person he had longed for for so long, his eyes overflowing with smiles and warmth.

Chen Qing felt her face burning from his gaze, and glared at him, "What are you looking at!"

He Yuan chuckled: "You look great today."

Chen Qing blushed: "I look good every day."

He Yuan readily agreed: "You're right."

Xiao Yu and He Yuxiang watched the two of them being so sweet together. Xiao Yu smiled with her eyes crinkling, and He Yuxiang didn't disturb them.

Neither of them were comfortable being stared at like monkeys in public, so they took a car home. On the way, He Yuan secretly squeezed Chen Qing's hand: "Why is it still so cold? Is the donkey-hide gelatin not working?"

"Yes, but I was outside for a while, so it's normal for my hands to be cold."

Chen Qing's condition of having cold hands and feet has improved a bit this winter. At least when she uses a hot water bottle, her feet are warm when she wakes up in the morning, unlike last year when her feet would gradually get cold after the hot water bottle stopped working.

Thinking about the weather today, He Yuan advised, "It's so cold, what if you catch a cold? Don't accept my business trips anymore."

"I want it!"

When Chen Qing returned home from her last business trip, they came to pick her up, and she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

He was clearly very happy to come and pick up He Yuan this time. In any case, she would want to come and pick up He Yuan whenever she knew when he would be home.

He Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard her defiant words, then chuckled to himself.

The family of four returned home, and He Yuan unpacked his luggage.

He Yuxiang leaned forward: "Did you bring any food?"

“Yes, but this isn’t for the New Year,” He Yuan emphasized.

He Yuxiang replied perfunctorily, "I know."

Chen Qing, with her sharp eyes, spotted the sesame paste: "You brought this back!"

He Yuan looked at what she was holding and nodded: "The sesame sauce is quite delicious. I'll make a small pot so we can cook it and dip it in the sauce as we eat."

"Okay."

Chen Qing's eyes lit up at the thought of eating hot pot.

He Yuxiang thought the sauce in his aunt's hand was something good, so he took it directly. At the same time, he quickly took away all the food his uncle had brought back and put it into the small cabinet that was specially used for storing snacks.

He Yuxiang even locked it!
Xiao Yu hugged a box of pastries with a happy smile: "I finally managed to snatch a box of food!"

Chen Qing asked Xiao Yu to open it and take a look.

The pastry is called "donkey roll".

In his previous life, Chen Qing thought that donkey roll was a delicious pastry. He ate it several times afterward, and it was extremely sweet!

But she was still not giving up. She washed her hands and picked up a piece of donkey roll.

The donkey roll is coated with a thick layer of fried soybean powder, and it has a strong aroma. Chen Qing took a bite and found that the donkey roll had the fragrance of soybean powder, the chewiness of glutinous rice skin, and the sweetness of red bean paste, with each layer building upon the last. The texture was excellent: "This is delicious!"

It tastes much better than what she bought in her past life!
Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, delicious."

Chen Qing urged He Yuan and He Yuxiang to try it as well.

He Yuan: "You eat, I've already eaten."

He doesn't like pastries. He Yuxiang came over and tried a piece; it was cloyingly sweet.

He used to love sweets; even a little sweetness would make him ecstatic. But now that his family has plenty to eat and drink, he no longer feels any sweetness.

"Eat it."

He still really enjoys eating.

Chen Qing and Xiao Yu each ate three pieces, agreeing to eat more tomorrow before stopping.

Eating glutinous rice products and then drinking water makes you feel very full. Chen Qing said to He Yuxiang, "I'll just eat half a bowl of rice tonight."

Xiaoyu echoed.

He Yuxiang: "Got it."

Seeing that Chen Qing had finished eating, He Yuan pulled her back into the house.

Chen Qing sat in the room and watched someone fold all the clothes and clean the room spotless.

Her main role is to provide companionship.

She had thought He Yuan was so eager to pull her back into the house because he wanted to... well, with the child outside, it's really not good to be promiscuous in broad daylight. It was her mind that was dirty.

He Yuan cleaned up and finally felt comfortable. Then he took an envelope out of his pocket and gave it to Chen Qing.

"What's this for?" Chen Qing asked as he opened the package, then couldn't stop smiling. "Money. How much is inside?"

He Yuan said, "Two hundred is not a business trip allowance, but a special bonus for me to make breakthroughs in some projects."

"Great job! Keep it up, hahaha..."

Chen Qing was overjoyed.

He Yuan smiled, cupped her face, and kissed her: "Have you missed me?"

"Yes." Chen Qing met his gaze: "I really want to."

He Yuan felt as if something had bumped into his heart, a sweet sensation.

"I miss you as well."

"Even if you think of me, it's only after you've finished cleaning," Chen Qing complained.

He Yuan was taken aback.

Chen Qing sneered.

He Yuan remained silent.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Chen Qing took pity on him and said, "The two hundred yuan is an apology fee, so it's confiscated."

"it is good."

He Yuan's tone rose.

I secretly decided that the first thing I'd do after my next business trip is kiss her!
Chen Qing got up to get the money box, but He Yuan grabbed her wrist: "Where are you going?"

"Put the money in a tin box."

"Oh." He Yuan watched her put the money away, then hugged her tightly and asked, "Has anything happened to you recently?"

Chen Qing: "No."

"really?"

He Yuan didn't believe it.

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I only argued with Director Liu and Secretary Deng twice."

Director Liu's plan to establish a branch factory is good, but promoting his wife's family members without considering the opinions of the older employees at the machinery factory is one thing, but Director Liu is also thinking of sending her to the new factory, claiming it's for her own good...

She couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks, which embarrassed Director Liu, so he retorted. The battle escalated, and Chen Qing proceeded to berate Director Liu from head to toe.

Factory Director Liu was so angry that he didn't attend the general meeting for two weeks.

The reason I argued with Secretary Deng was because he always liked to involve her in his actions.

Others criticize her for firing people.

Secretary Deng said that so many people resigned from the factory committee, but Chen Qing didn't care.

It's one thing if it happens once or twice, but if it happens repeatedly, people's anger will be focused on her.

If Secretary Deng discussed it with her or gave her benefits, she would tolerate it.

But she didn't get any benefits and was targeted at everything she did. Chen Qing couldn't take it anymore and had a fight with Secretary Deng during a large meeting, clearly telling everyone that the two of them had a bad relationship.

After the argument, Deng Meihua ignored her completely.

Chen Qing commented: "This year's factory director and party secretary lack magnanimity."
