I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s

Shen Meng waited for a while before seeing a group of people enter the yard in a grand procession. The children, including Yong Qiang, were startled and stood up to run into the house. Xie Jinghao saw that the leaders from the village were in the front, so she hurriedly stood up to greet them, but before she could fully stand, a hand landed on her leg, pushing her back down into her chair.

The villagers stood in the courtyard, and seeing that Shen Meng didn’t even stand up, they all looked somewhat embarrassed. They had long lost the arrogance they once had, and now no one dared to speak first, fearing that Shen Meng might lash out and take it out on whomever spoke first.

Director Guo saw that no one was speaking, glanced at Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa, and then scanned the rest of the people behind her who all had their heads lowered. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Xiao Meng, the people from our village say they have something to tell you. They’ve been wanting to find you, but heard that you went to the Provincial City a few days ago. Now that you’re back, everyone has been waiting. Hehehe. The Shenji food workshop is about to be completed. The managers from the factory came to check it out and said it’s really good, very responsible. Have you gone to see it yet? How is it?"

Shen Meng didn’t immediately respond to Aunt Guo’s words. She took a sip of water and then slowly turned her gaze towards the people in the courtyard.

"Hey, I just got back and haven’t had time to check it out yet. While I was in the Provincial City, I did call the food processing factory to inquire. They said the environment, sanitation, and personnel are all very well-managed, everyone is proactive and cooperative, and there are no troublemakers. This reassured me. While in the Provincial City, I got through to seven or eight Cooperative Societies, and I’m also in negotiations with the Provincial Clothing Factory. We’re just waiting for the pastries to be ready to send a batch of samples over. If the leaders of the clothing factory like them, they plan to purchase our workshop’s pastries as gifts for their workers during the holidays. Although I don’t know the specific results yet, it’s still good news."

The crowd was shocked, not expecting Shen Meng to secure such a large order on her first move. They had heard that the Provincial City’s clothing factory had several hundred employees. With so many holidays in a year and gifts for each worker, that’s a lot of money!

Of course, there’s also the matter of reputation. The name of the Shenji workshop will soon be known by the people at the Provincial Clothing Factory. As the word spreads, could this not become a brand?
