Chapter 2 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
Lin Jianjun received a last-minute notification that the factory director position, which had been vacant for four months, had finally been filled.
He is a businessman from Hong Kong, and I heard that he came to Anxian County to become a factory manager for his daughter.
It is said that a large sum of money was donated to the country, the amount of which is kept secret, but it must have been substantial.
Wanting to make a good impression on the new factory manager, he planned to bring it up at the dinner table, advising them to keep a low profile and avoid arguments, especially with Lin Youyou.
Thinking of this, Lin Jianjun frowned as he watched Lin Youyou slowly come downstairs.
"Youyou, tomorrow is the big day for the new factory director to take office. You absolutely mustn't mess things up for me."
Lin Youyou calmly ate a bite of rice and then looked up at Li Hui and her daughter.
"Dad, you shouldn't be worried about me."
After speaking, Lin Youyou raised her chin and glanced at Li Hui and her daughter.
Li Hui and her daughter had no other reaction; they just looked at Lin Jianjun with innocent eyes.
Lin Youyou saw all of this; after all, they were always very good at pretending.
All the bad reputation I've gained over the years is thanks to Li Hui and her daughter.
However, Lin Youyou scoffed, knowing she wasn't one to suffer losses, and neither she nor her mother had gotten anything good out of it.
Not wanting to listen to Lin Jianjun's lecture any longer, Lin Youyou slowly wiped the corner of her mouth, got up, and went to work.
Her appearance made Lin Jianjun tremble with anger.
But Lin Youyou didn't care. She was very insightful; a person's vulnerability is a weapon that others can use to hurt them.
As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters. The more you care, the more you'll get hurt.
Meanwhile, Si Yan was still on the train. Apart from being a bit more crowded and having a bit more of a strange smell, the scenery along the way on the 76 green train was still quite beautiful.
At this time, the mountains and rivers do not show many signs of human cultivation, and the farmland along the way is lush and green, which has a unique charm.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Si Yan arrived. Looking around, several workers wearing blue overalls stood out.
"Hello, you must be Director Si. I am Yan Yong, the deputy director of the machinery factory."
Because Si Yan's current appearance is very different from before, and Deputy Factory Director Yan only took a position at the machinery factory after the original owner left, he did not recognize Si Yan.
Si Yan wore a white shirt with black trousers and a gray cashmere coat, looking very capable and outstanding.
So, Deputy Director Yan and his group from the machinery factory only needed one glance to confirm that the person in front of them was Si Yan, since there was no one so stylish in An County.
"I've long heard that Director Si is a woman who is just as capable as any man, and seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."
"You flatter me, you flatter me."
Si Yan smiled and nodded, and shook hands with the people from the machinery factory who came to pick her up.
"Director Si, you must be tired from your journey. We have arranged a room for you at the reception center. This way, please."
After saying that, Deputy Factory Director Yan led Si Yan into the car that had been arranged in advance.
After the car stopped, Si Yan, led by Deputy Factory Director Yan, walked towards the guesthouse.
Aunt Liu, who had just passed by the door, inadvertently saw Si Yan.
At first I didn't recognize him, I just thought he looked very stylish, but after looking at him more closely I remembered.
"Isn't this Youyou's biological mother? What's she doing here? She looks quite stylish."
"No, I have to tell Youyou. Hasn't that little girl been looking forward to her mother coming back?"
Aunt Liu had just returned to the family compound when she ran into Lin Youyou at the entrance.
"Youyou, guess who I just saw?"
"Who is it?"
Lin Youyou looked at Aunt Liu with a puzzled expression.
"I saw your mother. She was dressed very stylishly. She's at the guesthouse."
"Really, Auntie, you're not lying to me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Youyou excitedly grabbed Aunt Liu and tried to run towards the guesthouse.
However, Aunt Liu stopped her.
"It's almost nine o'clock at night, the guesthouse is already closed, you definitely won't find anyone if you go now, and besides, if I'm wrong, it would be awkward for you to go there now?"
Coming to her senses, Lin Youyou smiled apologetically at Aunt Liu.
"It's all my fault, I got too excited and didn't think about these things. I'll go tomorrow."
"Auntie, thank you for coming to tell me. I'll treat you to a meal later."
After Lin Youyou finished speaking, she walked home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Jianjun sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.
However, Lin Youyou was overjoyed and didn't care at all, looking at Lin Jianjun with excitement.
"Dad, I have some amazing news! My mom is back."
"So what if she's back? What good can she possibly do for you? Coming back so late, she doesn't act like a girl at all."
Seeing Lin Jianjun's expression, Lin Youyou suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. She just felt very wronged and had no desire to share anything.
"Don't be upset, Dad is only saying this for your own good."
"The new factory manager is also surnamed Si, but he is extremely wealthy. He even donated money to the country so that he could go back to China to be with his daughter."
"Look, this is what a mother should be like. And what about you? Your beloved mother is just using her career as an excuse to leave us and climb the social ladder."
"She even has the audacity to say that she can achieve great things and will take you to live a good life. She's just bragging. Do you think I don't know what kind of person she is? She's just vain and impractical. You're just like your mother."
Lin Youyou's expression turned ugly, and she immediately wanted to retort.
But seeing Li Hui and her daughter watching the show, he instantly became angry.
"Dad, how do you know my mom isn't the factory manager? There aren't many people with the surname Si. Maybe she really is my mom. We'll see."
After saying that, Lin Youyou went back to her bedroom, but after closing the door, the corners of her mouth drooped.
"Never mind, I've already made that boast. If it turns out to be wrong, I'll just say I misread it."
Having figured it out, Lin Youyou went straight to wash up and go to bed.
Lin Jianjun felt a headache coming on just thinking about how stubborn Lin Youyou was. He thought to himself, "Oh well, Youyou won't be so stubborn when she sees the factory manager tomorrow."
