Haitian Pharmaceutical!
Li Dazhuang had been transferred back from the new factory. He had gotten used to working in the security department during this period. While still diligent, he was no longer as rigid as before.
Furthermore, the company had prepared a new security uniform for him. As he was quite burly, even the largest size he had previously worn was a bit tight.
Whether Tang Xinwan had notified the logistics department or they had done it proactively, for a company to specially make a uniform for an employee seemed incredibly humanistic.
"Dazhuang!" a familiar voice called out.
Li Dazhuang turned around, a look of pleasant surprise on his face. "Big Brother! I haven't seen you for days."
Ye Cangtian, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked over with a smile. He patted Li Dazhuang's shoulder and chuckled, "You seem to be in good spirits!"
Li Dazhuang scratched the back of his head with ać¨ĺ expression. He had found his sister and had a job now, so he was in a good mood every day.
He brought out a chair for Ye Cangtian and asked, "Big Brother, why haven't you been coming to the company?"
Ye Cangtian blew out a smoke ring and replied with a wry smile, making up an excuse. "Taking a break. By the way, how has your sister-in-law been these days?"
He had been busy with the Transformer incident for two days, then spent another two days alone in his apartment breaking through bottlenecks. Therefore, he hadn't visited Haitian Pharmaceutical to check on Tang Xinwan during these days.
"Sister-in-law is the same as before!"
Li Dazhuang shook his head, but then added, "It's just that Sister-in-law doesn't seem very happy every day. Oh, right, when she transferred me back yesterday, she also asked if Big Brother had been to the new factory."
Ye Cangtian was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Tang Xinwan to inquire about him from Li Dazhuang. It seemed this girl was ultimately warm beneath her cold exterior.
However, she should still be angry. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone so many days without calling.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Dazhuang, can you do me a favor? Besides her commute, if she leaves the company for any reason, keep an eye on her secretly!"
This was Ye Cangtian's concern for her safety!
Setting aside the potential threat from the silver-masked middle-aged man, the underworld seemed unsettled lately. It was rumored that Guo Hai and three other factions had resumed their secret rivalries over territory.
Therefore, having Li Dazhuang protect her secretly was necessary, as Ye Cangtian couldn't guarantee he would always be around.
Li Dazhuang thumped his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Big Brother. Your business is my business. I will definitely protect Sister-in-law's safety!"
"With you saying that, I can rest assured!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and patted his shoulder, then asked, "How has your sister Xiaoya been recently? Have her roommates been bothering her?"
Li Dazhuang shook his head. "I went to Xiaoya's school yesterday. She said everything is fine now!"
Li Dazhuang could now find Li Ya's school, and the dorm supervisor also recognized him, knowing Li Dazhuang was Li Ya's brother, so she wasn't as cold as last time.
Li Ya had also taught Li Dazhuang how to take the bus and which routes to take to her school.
In short, Li Dazhuang had completely adapted to life in the big city!
The two of them were chatting at the entrance of the security room, a scene witnessed by Tang Xinwan in the chairman's office.
She was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee, looking down at the familiar figure below. A strange emotion welled up within her.
In fact, she often stood by the floor-to-ceiling window to look down during her breaks these days.
When someone is present, you might dislike them, even find them annoying.
But when that person is suddenly gone, you feel like you've lost something.
This feeling was quite strange!
Tang Xinwan had actually come to her senses. She had seriously considered the events of that night. Perhaps the other person had been misunderstood.
However, even though she felt he might have been misunderstood, she couldn't bring herself to lower her pride and contact him first.
At this moment, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing blankly at the two people chatting below.
She even forgot to drink the coffee in her hand!
"Madam Chairman!" the female assistant knocked and entered.
"What is it?" Tang Xinwan finally snapped back to attention and turned to look at her.
"It's like this, President Tao of the Jiangsu Province Pharmaceutical Commerce Association has arrived in Yangzhou and requests to schedule a meeting with you to discuss matters."
"President Tao? Hmm, I see. Let's schedule it for nine tomorrow morning. A coffee shop opposite the company will suffice!" Tang Xinwan said after some thought.
"Understood, I will contact him immediately!" The female assistant nodded and turned to leave.
Tang Xinwan couldn't help but frown. She could guess why the other person wanted to meet her in Yangzhou.
Haitian Pharmaceutical was currently in its prime, not only becoming a dark horse in the stock market but also expanding its scale and building a new factory.
Therefore, Haitian Pharmaceutical was not only the leader among Yangzhou pharmaceutical companies but also renowned throughout Jiangsu Province.
However, Tang Xinwan was not afraid of anything. She conducted herself uprightly, and the company had been developed by her through painstaking effort, so she wasn't worried about what the other party could do.
She lowered her head again to look down but couldn't see Ye Cangtian's figure.
It seemed he had already left during the brief time she was speaking with her assistant.
...
Yangzhou University, girls' dormitory.
Although Li Ya had no classes this afternoon, she didn't go out shopping or for entertainment like her other classmates.
She was reading books for the second semester of her third year. As for the courses she was currently taking in the first semester of her third year, she had already mastered them.
This was her seriousness towards learning. Even when she was working part-time before, besides classes and her job, she spent all her extra time studying.
"Xiaoya!" a voice suddenly called out from behind her.
Li Ya turned around to see Zhang Yi standing behind her. She frowned slightly but still managed a smile and asked, "Zhang Yi, what is it?"
Although she disliked Zhang Yi, who had framed her last time, Zhang Yi had apologized and seemed to have changed her ways these past few days. Therefore, Li Ya hadn't ignored her.
Zhang Yi lowered her head and said softly, "Xiaoya, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. I know I was wrong, and are you still angry?"
Li Ya couldn't help but smile. "I'm not angry anymore. We're all roommates, and there are no knots that can't be untied."
Zhang Yi nodded, then hesitated, "Xiaoya, I heard you were looking for a part-time job. Are you in urgent need of money now? I have some, and I can lend it to you."
"Zhang Yi, I don't need money right now, thank you." Li Ya hadn't expected Zhang Yi to approach her for this.
She had been in urgent need of a part-time job before, wanting to earn money to buy her brother a mobile phone. But now that her brother was in Yangzhou and had a formal job, she wasn't in a hurry anymore.
Zhang Yi nodded. "Alright! But if you need money, you can tell me, and we can be good friends!"
Li Ya didn't understand why Zhang Yi was so enthusiastic towards her now, but seeing that Zhang Yi seemed to have no ill intentions, she didn't think too much about it.
Then Zhang Yi suddenly added, "Oh, right, my sister has a shop near the school and is currently looking for new employees. The hours are quite flexible, which is suitable for you to work part-time. Why don't you give it a try?"
Li Ya hesitated. She still didn't quite trust Zhang Yi.
"Xiaoya, please give it a try. Consider it my apology for what happened last time. This part-time job looks well-paid. I've been feeling quite bad these past few days, so let me help you just once!"
"This..." Li Ya faltered.
To be honest, although she wasn't in urgent need of money, she had thought about finding a part-time job and saving some money herself, not relying on her brother to support her.
After all, her brother was no longer young and would need to get married in the future!
"Then... I'll try?" Li Ya hesitated for a long time before finally giving in to temptation.
She didn't notice the hint of a successful scheme flashing across Zhang Yi's face.
