Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 48: You Really Dare to Say Anything

Principal Wang was completely stunned.

He pointed at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Was this part of your plan?"

Jiang Cheng tilted her head slightly.

"Yes... and no."

"I guessed some factories would be interested, but I didn’t expect the textile factory to be the first."

"But I think just sending people over isn’t enough."

Principal Wang’s mouth fell open, he had no idea what to say.

"Not enough? What else do you want to do?"

Jiang Cheng blinked and said to Principal Wang, "Why don’t you, Principal Wang, accompany me to the food factory?"

Principal Wang was completely bewildered.

Weren’t they talking about the textile factory? How did it relate to the food factory now?

Jiang Cheng didn’t explain, she just invited Principal Wang to join her.

Principal Wang was very curious, so he straightforwardly followed her.

The two of them made their way to the food factory.

With the help of her classmates’ network, Jiang Cheng and Principal Wang entered the office of the food factory director.

"Director Lu... we’re from night school... promoting the anti-trafficking play..."

After Jiang Cheng finished talking, the other party remained unmoved, exhibiting strong composure.

Jiang Cheng wasn’t anxious at all, she took out a makeshift invitation from her backpack.

"This is the invitation. We weren’t planning to bother you, it’s just that Factory Director Fang from the textile factory said he wanted to watch the play."

"We’re honestly quite flattered in night school, but with the textile factory’s proactive support, we couldn’t refuse."

"It wouldn’t be right to ignore other factories in the city, so we came by today."

Director Lu snorted coldly in his heart.

That old sly fox Fang is full of scheming.

If he bothers to attend a play, there must be some benefit.

"Mr. Jiang, our food factory will participate on time."

...

After leaving the food factory, Principal Wang was drenched in sweat, this kind of task really wasn’t for just anyone.

The textile factory director would attend, even though he hadn’t said anything concrete; you really dared to say it.

Principal Wang’s gaze fell on Jiang Cheng, seeing her calm, collected, and carefree demeanor.

When Director Lu didn’t immediately agree, he had actually planned to give up and leave.

"Jiang Cheng, how did you know mentioning Factory Director Fang would make Director Lu agree?"

"The food factory and textile factory have been playing table tennis for four years, losing every year."

"?"

Principal Wang couldn’t react for a moment, then heard Jiang Cheng say, "In the city’s factory profit ranking, textile factory is third, food factory fourth."

"Everyone knows the top three, but who cares about the fourth?"

Principal Wang’s jaw practically dropped to the floor.

"How did you know this?"

"Reading newspapers, chatting, it’s not some hidden secret, there’s nothing hard about knowing it."

Jiang Cheng spoke nonchalantly, but Principal Wang was greatly astonished.

The information was there to see, but the underlying insights weren’t obvious to just anyone, let alone utilizing them.

"But how did you say the director would come himself? They only said they’d send someone."

Jiang Cheng gave a confident smile and said, "No worries, if Director Lu comes, Factory Director Fang will definitely come."

At the same time stunned, Principal Wang thought to himself: Do you perhaps have a mind as intricate as a seven-knotted basket!

You’ve really exploited these relationships thoroughly.

Jiang Cheng humbly said, "It’s just average performance."

While Principal Wang was speechless, he also felt a bit addicted and asked, "Where to now?"

"The meat packing plant."

"Using the same approach as before?"

Jiang Cheng shook her head.

"Principal, you need to know a golden saying."

"What is it?"

Jiang Cheng feigned seriousness and paused for a few seconds before saying, "Each monkey has its own way of being tied."

Principal Wang slightly opened his mouth, as the thought dawned on him: How does it seem like he too is a monkey on this leash??

Regardless, if it is, it is!

Principal Wang and Jiang Cheng headed together to the meat packing plant.

The two received the warmest of welcomes from the director of the meat packing plant.

It was only then that Principal Wang learned that the police had recently busted a human trafficking case, and the director’s grandson was one of the children taken.

The family nearly went insane!

The only grandson in three generations, the sole male child.

The two were personally seen off by the director of the meat packing plant, and Principal Wang’s hand was nearly wrung out.

After walking some distance, Principal Wang shook his hand and said with deep emotion, "Jiang Cheng, you’ve actually done something really good, did you know that?"

"Of course, I knew!"

Jiang Cheng’s confident reply deflated Principal Wang’s burgeoning emotions all at once.

He really didn’t need to ask!

"Principal, you can’t just praise me, hold a meeting for our classmates when we return, praise where it’s due, everyone contributed, and every family saved in the future will have a mark of your contribution."

"Of course, my mark is relatively bigger!"

Principal Wang ignored Jiang Cheng’s boasting, but affirmatively said:

"That makes sense, we’ll hold a meeting as soon as we’re back."

After leaving the meat packing plant, Jiang Cheng was ready to head to the machinery factory.

Principal Wang didn’t understand where Jiang Cheng’s confidence came from, but he followed along anyway.

If she knows that the director’s grandson was on the list, knowing what the machinery factory lacks shouldn’t be surprising.

The two rode their bicycles to the entrance of the machinery factory, and Jiang Cheng was stopped.

"Lin Chengyuan, do you know how to write the word for abuse of power?"

Jiang Cheng maintained a cold face, not daring to show a hint of a smile.

Just someone like Lin Chengyuan, if she showed a slightly kind demeanor, he might think she fancied him.

Lin Chengyuan was working in the security department at the machinery factory and happened to be patrolling near the gate when he saw Jiang Cheng talking with the gatekeeper.

He pretended to be official and said:

"Comrade, you don’t have an introduction letter, it’s my duty to stop you, don’t behave like an ignorant woman messing around."

Jiang Cheng wasn’t angry, but Principal Wang couldn’t help it and was about to intervene.

Jiang Cheng stopped Principal Wang and said, "It’s a small matter, you don’t need to step in."

Having said that, Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Chengyuan.

"Ignorant woman? Are you talking about someone like your mother or grandmother?"

"You!"

Lin Chengyuan was infuriated.

Jiang Cheng ignored him and took a piece of paper from her backpack, then turned and smilingly handed it to the gatekeeper.

"Sir, could you please check if my introduction letter is acceptable? It’s better to leave professional matters to professionals, unlike some who act like busybodies."

The gatekeeper calmly accepted the paper, but he privately agreed with Jiang Cheng.

Does this Lin Chengyuan have issues?

Acting as if he can’t even handle guarding a gate properly.

"No problem, you may enter."

Jiang Cheng took back the introduction letter and stepped back.

"Principal, after you."

Principal Wang eyed Jiang Cheng’s backpack.

An introduction letter?

How come he wasn’t aware of this item?

Could it be fake?

Entering those few steps, Principal Wang felt rather guilty, but he maintained a calm facade, even sizing up Lin Chengyuan and said, "Luckily Xiao Jiang’s eyes are healed."

The matter between Jiang Cheng and the Lin Family was something everyone from the principal to the ants in night school knew.

Lin Chengyuan’s face turned even darker.

"Jiang Cheng, you did it on purpose!"

Jiang Cheng followed behind Principal Wang, disdainfully remarked, "Pick up your face off the floor! Whatever I do is intentional, are you intentionally his dad or something!"

Feeling refreshed after the retort, Jiang Cheng caught up with Principal Wang, who gave her a thumbs up.

Jiang Cheng humbly but proudly stated:

"Just average, world number one."

The thumb Principal Wang had raised slowly dropped down, thinking the person beside him was truly capable of flying to the heavens!
