Chapter 211: Yesterday You Disdained Me, Today I’m Unworthy of You
Shen Meng greeted Yu Xueli before taking Wu Xianglan to the textile factory. The gatekeeper was familiar with her, especially after Director Hu Biao personally visited him the night before to instruct him to be very polite and let Shen Meng in when he sees her. Thus, he was incredibly warm when he greeted her, which greatly shocked Wu Xianglan.
"Elder sister-in-law, does this man know you?"
"Shh, it’s because Mr. Hu has given him a heads up. He knew I was going to bring you here for work today, that’s why he let us through. Don’t sneak looks, when you look at someone do it openly and confidently, your peeking habit is a bit much."
Wu Xianglan was somewhat embarrassed. She didn’t want to behave like that; she was just afraid of being judged by the people of the county.
Because Hu Biao had informed them, the person who came to fetch Wu Xianglan was quite polite. After giving her a set of work clothes, they were ready to start working. Shen Meng slipped some candy to the person, then pulled Wu Xianglan aside.
"Xiang Lan, here’s some candy. Sweeten up when you talk to people, get along well with them, and keep in mind the importance of making good relations. Otherwise, once Zhou Jiaojiao arrives, I’m afraid she’ll make things difficult for you."
"Okay, elder sister-in-law, I got it. Go do what you need to do. This big sister seems like a straightforward person, she won’t give me a hard time."
Shen Meng looked at the sharp and shrewd woman, wondering how someone Wu Xianglan found to be straightforward could have been so brazenly snide the first time they met.
