Chapter 515 - 545: Some People Like to Pick on the Weak
Shen Yi said, "They didn’t show any mercy when they were bullying my mom. If they’d truly cared that I have the Shen Family’s blood in my veins, they wouldn’t have completely ignored me for all these years. They were cold and heartless before, but now that they need something, they suddenly remember me. That’s not how you treat people. Besides, I’ve always had a bad temper, and I’m not a soft touch."
He remembered kindness for a lifetime.
And he’d remember the bad for just as long.
After saying all this, Shen Yi gently squeezed Qin Jiao’s little finger. "Jiao Jiao, do you think I’m being too petty?"
"It’s good to be a little petty. That just means there’s only room for me in here."
One shouldn’t be heartless and disloyal, but one also can’t be too much of a pushover.
Because there’s a certain type of detestable person in this world who specifically preys on the weak. After all, the kind get taken advantage of.
In the clothing factory’s office, the two of them finalized the last of the new designs and, at the same time, successfully registered the Jiu Yi trademark.
Although intellectual property laws for clothing designs were still lacking, they started running TV commercials to make a public declaration: these styles were originally designed by Jiu Yi.
Any other factory that produced something similar would be making knockoffs.
At the same time, Qin Jiao used her academic knowledge, along with some experience from her past life, to overhaul and improve the factory’s various rules and regulations.
After dealing with a few incidents, they had completely purged the toxic remnants left behind by Shen Zhengfeng. They also began promoting capable people based on merit and performance.
The clothing factory was now completely transformed. They had brought in new machinery, renovated the workshops, and improved the workers’ living accommodations.
Just then, a female worker knocked on the door. She said urgently, "Director, there’s a woman harassing Qin Na! You should go take a look, quickly!"
Normally, the head of security, Ji Changxing, would handle any trouble at the factory.
But as luck would have it, Ji Changxing had taken most of the security guards for a health check-up today, leaving only two junior guards at the gate.
The moment Qin Jiao remembered her aunt was pregnant, she shot up from her seat and ran out. Shen Yi was two steps behind her, hurrying to follow.
Sun Jianhua wasn’t at the factory today either; he had gone to visit a department store out of town and wouldn’t be back until the day after tomorrow.
When Qin Jiao arrived, another female worker was supporting Qin Na. The aggressive woman across from them, pointing and screaming in Qin Na’s face, was none other than Sun Jianhua’s ex-wife, Wang Xiaojuan.
"It’s because of you that Jianhua can’t come back to me! You’re the one who’s keeping our family of three from being together! You homewrecker! You think you can get away with this just because you’re the aunt of the Director’s girlfriend? You’re so shameless, your niece must be just as shameless, only knowing how to seduce men—"
Qin Na was so furious she was on the verge of tears. She was already feeling unwell, and hearing Wang Xiaojuan’s words made her head buzz with rage.
"You can say what you want about me, but you will not talk about Xiao Jiao!"
"Hmph. You did a shameless thing, seducing another woman’s husband. Why can’t I—"
SLAP!
Qin Jiao strode forward and, without a moment’s hesitation, slapped the woman across the face!
Qin Jiao had put her full strength into it, and the blow made Wang Xiaojuan see stars.
Clutching her face, she stared at Qin Jiao in disbelief. "You hit me? How dare you? I’m going to scratch your face to pieces!"
Wang Xiaojuan lunged forward, raising her hand to strike Qin Jiao. Shen Yi, still a few steps behind, panicked at the sight, but Wang Xiaojuan’s hand never made it to Qin Jiao’s face.
Qin Jiao caught her wrist. Then, with her free hand, she delivered a sharp backhand slap!
