Chapter 21: Ex-Wife

Ling Yao arrived at the factory. She had received a call from Zhao Kun.

He told her that the equipment for producing medicinal wine had arrived and that he was having the factory’s mechanics install it.

 However, they had encountered some problems during the installation process.

“Who are you looking for?” The old man in the reception room stopped her as she was about to enter.

Ling Yao stopped and said, “Grandpa, my name is Ling Yao. I’m looking for Manager Zhao.”

The old man looked Ling Yao up and down, “Wait a moment. I’ll make a call.”

He picked up the phone on the table and dialed the factory’s internal number, but the phone was unanswered.

Putting down the phone, the old man said to Ling Yao, “Young lady, our Manager isn’t in his office.

He must be busy. Why don’t you come back tomorrow?” Although their factory’s performance wasn’t good now, he couldn’t just let anyone in.

“Manager Zhao should be in the workshop adjusting the equipment. Please go and call him.”

“How do you know?” The old man was surprised. They did indeed receive a shipment of equipment today.

“He called me and told me. I’m here to adjust the equipment.” Ling Yao told the truth.

The old man looked at Ling Yao with obvious disbelief. Who did she think she was? The Manager would specifically call her to tell her about this and ask her to adjust the equipment. She was really making things up.

“Then wait a moment. I’ll go to the workshop and take a look.” No matter what the relationship was between her and the Manager, he shouldn’t offend her.

What if she was actually a relative of the Manager? If they fired him, where would he find a job at his age?

“Thank you.”

Old Man Li went to the workshop and saw Zhao Kun looking at the blueprints, “Manager, a young lady is outside. She said she has something to see you about.”

Hearing this, Zhao Kun knew it must be Ling Yao, “Go bring her in. No, I’ll go myself.”

With that, he walked out.

Old Man Li scratched his head and followed him. Could that girl really be a relative of the Manager?

Zhao Kun saw Ling Yao standing at the entrance of the reception room from afar. He quickened his pace and called out to her, “Ling Yao.”

Ling Yao smiled and walked towards Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun walked to Ling Yao and handed her the blueprints, “This is the equipment blueprint. Let’s talk as we walk.”

“Okay.” Ling Yao took the blueprint and walked side by side with Zhao Kun towards the inside.

Old Man Li stood there, patting his chest in relief, “Good, good.”

Ling Yao followed Zhao Kun to the workshop and saw three mechanics huddled together, studying the equipment.

“It seems like this is installed backward. It should be installed like this.”

“I tried it just now. It’s not installed like that. This screw should be screwed in here.”

“This machine looks simple, but why is it so complicated to install?”

Zhao Kun brought Ling Yao to the machine, “This is the machine. Take a look.”

Ling Yao nodded slightly, then squatted down and began to carefully examine every part of the machine.

Her gaze was focused and sharp, not missing any details. When she saw something installed incorrectly, she took the tools and disassembled and reassembled the parts.

 Her fingers were nimble and skilled. Her hands holding the tools were like a dancer gracefully dancing on stage.

“Manager, who is this young lady?” One of the mechanics couldn’t help but ask. He was a little unhappy with Ling Yao.

They had finally managed to install the machine like this, and he didn’t want it to be messed up again.

“She’s Ling Yao. She’ll also be in charge of the factory.” Zhao Kun stared at Ling Yao, his eyes filled with admiration. He had been watching the mechanics install the equipment.

They would stop from time to time to study the blueprints, discuss, and then continue installing.

 But Ling Yao seemed to be very familiar with the equipment. She didn’t hesitate at all during each step.

The mechanics looked at Ling Yao in disbelief. What? She’s in charge of the factory?

Ling Yao put down her tools, reached out, and pressed the start button on the machine.

Then, the machine started running smoothly.

The three mechanics were stunned.

“The machine actually started running.”

“She actually knows how to install the machine.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Zhao Kun happily walked to Ling Yao’s side and gave her a thumbs up, “You’re amazing!”

 He and the three mechanics had been studying it for so long, and they even called the winery’s mechanics, but they still couldn’t install a few parts.

Ling Yao came in and installed the machine in just half an hour. How was Ling Yao’s brain wired? How could she be so smart? It didn’t seem like someone her age.

Ling Yao smiled slightly.

“Let’s go. Let’s go to the office and sit down.” Zhao Kun gave the three mechanics a few instructions and then happily took Ling Yao to the office.

Arriving at the office, Zhao Kun made Ling Yao a cup of tea and then took out the bank loan contract and handed it to her, “This is the bank loan contract. Take a look.”

Ling Yao took the contract, flipped through it, and saw that there were no problems. She handed the contract back to Zhao Kun, “The contract is fine.”

Zhao Kun took the contract, put it back in the drawer, and locked it, “My friend introduced me to a medicinal herb supplier. We have an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow.”

 After Ling Yao told him, he also paid attention to the weather forecast. It was indeed raining continuously in Guicheng recently. There were landslides in many places, and the roads were very difficult to travel.

He had also called Li Lei. The medicinal herb supplier was found by a friend of Li Lei’s. He had been cooperating with Li Lei for so many years, and he trusted Li Lei very much.

“Mm.” Ling Yao nodded.

“Will you be free the day after tomorrow? I want to meet the medicinal herb supplier with you.”

Ling Yao thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay.”

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and a woman stormed in. She pointed at Zhao Kun and yelled, “Alright, Zhao Kun, you’ve gotten smart.

You’ve been sneaking around behind my back.” She knew that his factory was about to go bankrupt, and not only did she not help him find a solution, but she also filed for divorce. He had been disillusioned with her at that time.

“Don’t forget that we’re already divorced. My business has nothing to do with you anymore.”

“How can it be unrelated? Don’t forget, we have a son.” Qian Lili heard that the crisis at Zhao Kun’s factory had been resolved and that he was going to add a new production line.

She decided to come back and get back together with Zhao Kun. She believed that Zhao Kun loved her.

As long as she was willing to come back, Zhao Kun would be happy to get back together with her.

“I’ll pay your son’s child support on time. Don’t think about anything else.” Zhao Kun no longer had any feelings for Qian Lili.

That day, he went to Qian Lili’s house to find her, hoping to salvage their relationship.

 Before he even reached her house, he saw Qian Lili walking arm in arm with a middle-aged man, laughing and talking, very intimate.
