243 Treating Her As A Sister

Yao Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly found an excuse. “Everyone knows that we got engaged when we were young. I’ve always treated her as my sister, so I wanted to take care of her more. But later on, I got to know you. At that time, I was also very conflicted. On one hand, she’s my responsibility, and on the other hand, you’re the person I like.”

“I tried to let go of you, but I really couldn’t control my heart. At that time, I was really conflicted, so I didn’t go to her house anymore.”

The outcome of the matter didn’t change, but the content had been changed by Yao Nian. Yu Yan was very satisfied with what he said. However, Yu Yan still had another question. “But don’t your parents want you two to be together? Does who you like even matter?”

Factors like his parents and his family concerned the possibility of long-term development. This question made Yao Nian tense up. He had to answer flawlessly. Only by making Yu Yan believe that he would marry her could he have a share of her family’s resources.

Yao Nian lowered his eyes and pretended to be helpless, but his mind was racing. A moment later, he said in a low voice, “Yu Yan, an arranged marriage is arranged. I really don’t want to spend the rest of my life like this. I only want to be with the person I like!”

!!

Then, he looked up at Yu Yan seriously. “So, I told my mother to help me cancel the engagement. Otherwise, even if Yu Bing and I were together, we would despise each other. My mother had already agreed, so I couldn’t control myself that night. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have let you get involved in the relationship between me and Yu Bing and ruin your reputation.”

This time, not only did Yao Nian explain everything perfectly, but he also explained why he had molested her that night.

When Yu Yan heard this, she was overjoyed. As expected, Yu Bing was nothing compared to her!

Yu Yan didn’t expect Yao Nian to be so loyal to her. Before she had any feelings for him, he already had deep feelings for her. At the thought of this, she finally agreed to publicize their relationship.

While Yu Yan and Yao Nian were getting intimate with each other, Yu Bing was focused on her career.

Yu Bing planned to continue getting orders from other cities. In addition, Xiao Sheng had gotten in touch with Zeng Li now. The black market that Zeng Li was in charge of was in the city, so the demand was very high. To distribute the goods in the black market, Xiao Sheng could only forge documents for the food factory to legitimatize this illicit dealing.

After Yu Bing and Wu Jin discussed it, they planned to introduce a production line. Feng Cai called his family and checked the price. The machine Yu Bing wanted cost about five to six thousand yuan. However, in the long term, this could increase the productivity and competitiveness of their food factory.

However, if they wanted to introduce a production line, they had to look for the county leader to approve it first. This experimental unit was personally managed by Mr. Bai, so they had to go to his office. This was one of the restrictions of the planned economy.

It was rare for Zeng Li to get up early, but when he came to the village and found out that Yu Bing had gone to the county city to do business, he could only return unhappily.

At this moment, Yu Bing was waiting in the county government’s building anxiously. It wasn’t easy for her to wait until Mr. Bai, who had gone out to inspect the base, returned, but she was turned down.

Yu Bing asked in confusion, “Mr. Bai, why?”

As Mr. Bai looked at the young lady who had made the food factory’s business boom in less than half a year, he said earnestly, “Yu Bing, your development is too fast. Being too anxious about expansion is not a good thing. Young people can’t be impatient. You have to play it safe!”

Yu Bing looked dejected. At the end of the day, Mr. Bai didn’t believe that she still had so many orders. “Mr. Bai, I’m not in a hurry to expand, but if this continues, there won’t be enough manpower. Moreover, no matter how fast a person is, he can’t be as fast as a machine. Our current manpower is just right for now, but if we want to accept a few more orders, with our shortage of manpower, we definitely won’t be able to accept them. Do we have to turn down business?”

Mr. Bai was exasperated. He had seen how difficult it was to convince Yu Bing, but the food factory was still in debt. If he signed the contract and introduced the production line to expand, but didn’t get orders afterwards, the capital chain would be broken and they wouldn’t be able to pay the debt. The people in charge of the other departments would probably come to his office door every day to demand an explanation.

Even if he wanted to help the food factory operated by the He Mountain Brigade, he had to consider the other departments. Seeing that Yu Bing was unwilling to let him off, Mr. Bai could only explain the possible consequences. “You still owe them money, so I can’t sign this.”
