"Miss Xia, we meet again."

"Deputy Factory Director Yang, you're too impatient! I've already said I need to think about the job, and you still come knocking on my door."

Xia Yichu remained completely oblivious to the fact that she was lying, calmly chatting with Yang Dazhi without glancing at Zhang Shanshan beside her.

"Miss Xia, would you mind having a word with me in private?"

There were still many people around at the school gate, so it wasn't convenient for Yang Dazhi to talk. He wanted to find a quiet place to have a proper conversation with Xia Yichu.

Xia Yichu didn't speak, her eyes looking ahead. Zhang Shanshan and Yang Dazhi followed her gaze.

"Yichu, are you alright? Yang Dazhi, what do you want? Let me tell you, if you have a problem, come at me."

Xia Yichu sighed and rubbed her forehead. She had just been thinking about how to fool Yang Dazhi. Now she didn't need to think about it anymore; Wang Shengli came to the school to find her and was even seen by Yang Dazhi.

Wang Shengli waited for Xia Yichu outside her school gate for half an hour, but she still hadn't returned after school. Remembering that she had previously followed Yang Dazhi, he worried that Xia Yichu might have gone to find Yang Dazhi since she hadn't gone to school.

So he wanted to see if she was at school, and if not, he went to the garment factory to check. Unexpectedly, he saw Yang Dazhi talking to her from afar, and worried, he quickened his pace and ran over.

"Wang Shengli, what brings you here? Do you two know each other?"

Yang Dazhi's expression changed. He considered many possibilities, but he never imagined that Xia Yichu knew Wang Shengli. Zhang Shanshan looked at this scene with a puzzled expression. Who was this person? What was his relationship with Xia Yichu?

"Deputy Factory Director Yang, let's find a place to eat and chat. The other day I was asking about Uncle Wang at the gate of the garment factory, and it just so happened that you started talking to me about it. I thought you knew more about the factory, so I lied and said I was looking for a job."

Now that things have come to this, Xia Yichu has no intention of hiding anything anymore and is ready to have a frank conversation with Yang Dazhi.

"Yichu, let's go home."

Wang Shengli said with a disapproving look, "I know Yang Dazhi better than anyone. He won't let his father get away with this, and he certainly won't miss this opportunity. He used to go against his father a lot back when we worked at the factory."

"Okay, I see a nice restaurant up ahead, let's go there for dinner. Shengli, you come too. Miss Zhang, you…"

"I want to go too!"

Zhang Shanshan wanted to wait until Pei Zongna finished eating before getting food for her. She didn't want to miss the chance to get close to Xia Yichu; knowing your enemy and yourself is the key to victory. Aside from learning about Xia Yichu's family situation from Pei Zongna, she knew nothing about her character.

"Yichu, don't go."

"Victory, it's okay. If you don't want to go to the restaurant, come to my house and wait for me for a while."

"I'll go!"

Wang Shengli was definitely worried about Xia Yichu staying with Yang Dazhi, and seeing that he couldn't persuade her otherwise, he decided to go with her.

The group arrived at the restaurant and sat down. Yang Dazhi acted very gentlemanly, letting Xia Yichu and Zhang Shanshan order first. After they finished ordering, he asked Wang Shengli, but Wang Shengli ignored him. He wasn't angry and ordered a few more dishes himself.

When the dishes were served, Xia Yichu didn't rush to speak. She invited Wang Shengli to eat and then started eating herself.

Now that Yang Dazhi already knew that Xia Yichu had approached him because of Wang Yizhong, he wasn't in a hurry. He started eating as well. Zhang Shanshan was the most anxious and curious person there.

Seeing that everyone was silent, she didn't know where to begin her question, so she also picked up her chopsticks and started eating in silence. The dining table was eerily quiet, with only the sound of chewing food audible.

Half an hour later, Xia Yichu put down her chopsticks first. The other three followed suit, waiting for her to speak.

"Deputy Factory Director Yang, Uncle Wang is in no position to compete with you for the factory director position given his current situation. How about we just let this matter go?"

I heard the money at the factory has been found, so there's no loss for either you or the factory. It's always good to be forgiving and leave room for future encounters. Don't you agree?

Yang Dazhi's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a half-smile, "Miss Xia, this is not something I can decide. If I could decide, I would have had the police release Yizhong immediately."

I've worked with him for so many years, and I believe Yizhong isn't that kind of person. But Yu Jianfei said that the money wasn't from selling materials; it's still with Yizhong. This puts the factory manager and me in a difficult position, and the police can't listen to me and release him.

If you ask me, you should persuade the Wang family to hand over that money as soon as possible. That way, the factory manager and I can plead for Yizhong and get him lenient treatment.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shengli slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and glared angrily, saying, "Yang Dazhi, stop pretending here. You're the one who ruined my father."

The commotion drew the attention of everyone at the table. Xia Yichu quickly reassured Wang Shengli to sit down and then looked at Yang Dazhi.

"Deputy Factory Director Yang, you and I both know what's going on, there's no point in saying any more."

"Actually, there's still a chance. I believe you know me and what I like most. If you're with me, I..."

"Yang Dazhi, I'll beat you to death, you beast!"

Before Yang Dazhi could finish speaking, Wang Shengli stood up, rushed forward, and threw a punch at Yang Dazhi's face.

Yang Dazhi didn't expect Wang Shengli to attack so suddenly. He took a solid punch, staggered back a few steps, and bumped into the table next to him.

Zhang Shanshan screamed in fright at the sudden turn of events, and the people eating around them gathered around. Yang Dazhi, enraged and embarrassed, disregarded his image and started fighting with Wang Shengli.

The two rolled around on the ground, punching and kicking each other, and the restaurant was thrown into chaos. Xia Yichu, seeing that Wang Shengli wasn't at a disadvantage, stood by with her arms crossed and watched.

Thinking that Wang Shengli could take this opportunity to vent his pent-up anger towards Yang Dazhi, the restaurant owner and several waiters rushed over and pulled them apart.

Yang Dazhi was beaten badly, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and bruises all over his face. Wang Shengli only suffered minor injuries to his face, and his clothes were torn.

The restaurant owner said with a dark face, "You've broken all the plates and bowls on this table, and the ones on the next table too. You have to pay me back."

Yang Dazhi straightened his clothes and glared fiercely at Wang Shengli: "He started it first. You're going to make him pay you back, and I'm going to call the police."

Wang Shengli glared back without fear: "Yang Dazhi, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time."

Xia Yichu stepped forward, blocking Wang Shengli's path, and looked at Yang Dazhi, saying, "Deputy Factory Director Yang, you know Wu Yan, right?"

If you don't want others to know what you did, it's best not to pursue the matter of Seungri hitting you. Oh, and make sure to pay back the money for the restaurant.

Yang Dazhi was momentarily stunned. Xia Yichu knew Wu Yan, and he wondered if those photos had anything to do with her. In any case, it was best not to let anyone know about his relationship with Wu Yan for now.

"So it was you who sent the photos to my wife. You just wait, this isn't over."

Xia Yichu had already planned to use this incident to threaten Yang Dazhi, which is why she didn't stop Wang Shengli from hitting Yang Dazhi.

"Boss, he's losing money. Victory, let's go."

Wang Shengli looked at the frustrated Yang Dazhi with a triumphant air, feeling a sense of satisfaction as he left with Xia Yichu. At the same time, he wondered if he could use this incident to threaten Yang Dazhi into resolving his father's matter.
