You forced me to marry a prodigal son, you deserve to be enshrined in the imperial temple

After being rejected, Lao Feng became disheartened.

But he was unwilling to give in, so he pointed at Xu Xingzhu and replied.

"I didn't expect that you are even more cold-blooded and ruthless than Zhang Wanli, even though you are still young. I, Old Feng, will never beg you again."

After saying that, he left the office with his son.

Seeing him leave, Vanke President breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director, you are really awesome. If Director Zhang were here, he would definitely show mercy to his subordinates because of his contributions. If we place someone like this in our factory, there will be endless troubles."

Xu Xingzhu smiled and said, "I understand this. Don't worry. With the precedent set by Lao Feng, this kind of situation will never happen again."

Sure enough, those old employees who had come to Director Wan Ke to plead for mercy time and again no longer dared to try to squeeze other people into the factory.

A few days later.

The municipal government held a grand award ceremony to present Xu Xingzhu with the Good Citizen Award and the First Class Merit Medal.

The prize money is not much, only 1000 yuan.

But Xu Xingzhu cares about honor.

As long as she has this honor, it will be of great benefit to the expansion of her textile factory in the future.

Ready-made clothing became popular in the 90s, starting with Guangdong and sweeping across the country.

She plans to add a production line, import a batch of samples from Guangdong, start designing on her own, and develop her own brand.

Once the pattern is confirmed, mass production begins.

Therefore, we need to expand the factory, build workshops and configure equipment.

We also need to recruit a new batch of employees and provide training in advance.

In addition, she plans to recruit a group of designers who have studied abroad or have experience in European and American style design.

Mainly promote the domestic market with unique and trendy style.

After she received the prize from the government, Li's family held a celebration banquet for her.

The whole family gathered in the main building and came over to congratulate her.

The reception room in the main building is really big, and the large table that can accommodate more than 50 people is very grand.

The food on the table is a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine, catering to everyone's taste.

This was the second time Xu Xingzhu met Li Jingyi's sister Li Jinglan.

Even when the whole family was having dinner together, Li Jinglan still had a sour face.

Zhang Wanli asked Li Jinglan to take some soda to toast her sister-in-law Xu Xingzhu and say some good words.

After all, this honor is extremely precious to the entire Li family, and even to the entire Jingnan.

The Li family benefited from Xu Xingzhu.

When Li Jinglan heard Zhang Wanli's order, his face fell on the spot.

"Mom, I'm already unhappy, why do you want me to respect others?"

"That's your sister-in-law. As a member of the Li family, you should be happy that she has received this honor."

Xu Xingzhu and Li Jingyi listened.

Li Jingyi glanced at Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan had been afraid of her second brother since she was a child, so she had no choice but to pick up the cup and walk over to toast Xu Xingzhu.

"Sister-in-law, congratulations on your achievement."

Although there was no smile, his voice was respectful.

Xu Xingzhu smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

After Li Jinglan returned to her seat, Li Jingyi spoke to Xu Xingzhu.

"My dear wife, you are amazing. You have done a great deed. Your family has benefited from it. I will give you a gift to congratulate you. I will give it to you when we get back to the room."

Xu Xingzhu's face turned red immediately. Whenever the topic of gifts came up, Li Jingyi would always bring up some conditions.

"Next time, can you give me a gift in person? Don't always give it in bed. There are so many conditions attached."

Li Jingyi said timidly: "Who made my wife so beautiful? Every day in the foreign trade company, besides making money, all she thinks about is you."

He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know why Jinglan always has a sour face?"

"why?"

"She fell in love with a Phoenix man, but mom wouldn't let her marry him. She's fighting against mom."

The Phoenix Man is called Ji Qingsen. He was born and raised in the countryside, from a poor family. He and Li Jinglan were college classmates.

But he was eloquent and easily won Li Jinglan's heart.

In order to get close to Li Jinglan, he went to work in Li Jinglan's foreign trade company and took care of her affairs.

Zhang Wanli discovered that Ji Qingsen had embezzled company funds to treat his sick old mother.

As a result, she had a very bad impression of Ji Qingsen and firmly rejected the marriage proposal.

But Li Jinglan was in love and refused to listen to any advice. She insisted on marrying Ji Qingsen, which made the mother-daughter relationship between her and Zhang Wanli become strained.

The celebration banquet was going smoothly, but Li Jinglan suddenly stood up and announced to everyone with anger.

"Mom, Dad, brothers, November 1st is coming in two months. I want to pick this popular day to marry Qingsen. I don't need your consent, I'll just let you know."

The head of the family, Li Simin, was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up: "Asshole! What's so good about that Ji Qingsen? If it weren't for you, I would have sent him to prison long ago. The deficit of 50 is enough for him to spend the rest of his life in prison."

Li Simin always follows Zhang Wanli's opinions. Whatever his wife says is the truth. What's more, it was indeed the Phoenix man who made the mistake first.

Marrying such a person is definitely like inviting a wolf into the house.

The eldest brother Li Jingchao said: "Jinglan, although this is not the era where parents' orders and matchmakers' words are final, but my parents are experienced people after all, so it's right to listen to them."

Li Jinglan mocked: "You still have the nerve to tell me that marriage should be decided by parents. Look at yourself. How is your relationship with sister-in-law Yang Ruozhen? You were the one who let others down first. What qualifications do you have to give me advice?"

Li Jingchao remained silent after hearing his sister's words.

Li Jinglan suddenly pointed at Xu Xingzhu and cried to Zhang Wanli.

"On the contrary, my second brother has said that he wants to marry my second sister-in-law. Her family is not very well off, but you can see how happy they are now. I also want to pursue true love like my second brother and sister-in-law."

Xu Xingzhu was stunned for a moment. She and Li Jingyi had only met once before their marriage, and they got married with the help of their parents.

Why did Li Jinglan say that Li Jingyi had wanted to marry her for a long time?

She looked at Li Jingyi with question marks in her eyes.

Li Jingyi leaned over and replied to her: "Don't look, it's true love at first glance."

Xu Xingzhu took the opportunity to step on him.

He held her leg. She was wearing a skirt. His big, warm hand covered her leg.

Being secretly teased by him in front of everyone, Xu Xingzhu was so angry that she called him a "bastard".

Zhang Wanli was so angry that she was fuming. "How can he be compared to Xingzhu? Xingzhu is the factory director, a first-class meritorious official, and my favorite daughter-in-law. Ji Qingsen is nothing. Don't mention him. I get a headache when I mention him. Anyway, as long as I am alive, I will never agree to you marrying Ji Qingsen!"

After Li Jinglan looked around, she sneered at everyone present: "Why can Xu Xingzhu marry my second brother, but I can't marry Qingsen? You are too partial. You forget about your daughter when you have a daughter-in-law. I can't stay in this family anymore! Can't I just leave?!"

In full view of everyone, Li Jinglan ran towards the door crying.

Zhang Wanli was afraid that Xu Xingzhu would be unhappy, so she scolded her daughter in front of her.

"Xingzhu, don't take Jinglan's words to heart. Mom is on your side. I will beat up this rebellious girl sooner or later."
