The two chatted briefly before Li Xingran left.

Lu Yang sat there, deep in thought. He never imagined that the Li family's affairs were so complicated.

Old Li wasn't as clear-headed as he thought; he actually left Li Xingran's marriage to her second wife to handle.

He then told Li Xingran that he was the one who found her, and if Li Xingran hadn't been alert, she probably would have believed him.

Lu Yang silently mourned for Li Xingran for a few seconds. It was true that apart from him, there wasn't a single reliable person in his family.

He sighed, called Zheng Wei, and briefly explained what had happened.

Zheng Wei immediately perked up: "Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely find out the details for you."

Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He gave Zheng Wei an extra 10,000 yuan, reminding him that this operation was more dangerous than the previous ones.

After all, Old Master Li's identity is special, and his son, who inherited the family business and all the connections and resources, is even more difficult to deal with.

Zheng Wei grinned, revealing his back teeth, and casually lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, saying, "Don't worry, boss, I've hired two very clever guys this time. They'll definitely get to the bottom of this. Just you wait and see."

Lu Yang sighed. He was helpless with such an over-the-top subordinate.

He responded and went to attend to his work, but he still felt uneasy.

Three days later, all the fabric they ordered from Boss Sun was delivered back, and Lu Yang had most of the fabric properly stored in the warehouse.

The remaining fabric was used for processing, and a group of people were busy working on it.

After all, this was the first time they had ever purchased such a large quantity of goods since the factory was established.

The factory was short-handed, so Lu Yang had to help move goods. He was planning to hire more people.

The factory is receiving more and more orders, and these people are definitely not enough to handle it all.

While he was busy, Zheng Wei called, excitedly saying, "Boss, there are some things that are best said to your face."

Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Zheng Wei was decisive and efficient in his work and never procrastinated.

The fact that you're dragging your feet like this means you must have some unspeakable reason.

Lu Yang immediately said, "I'm at the garment factory. Why don't you come find me?"

Zheng Wei responded and said he would be there in 10 minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang went back to work in silence.

Less than 10 minutes later, he heard a sudden screech of brakes.

Zheng Wei got out of the car wearing an oddly shaped floral shirt.

When he saw Lu Yang, he first grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all, and his behavior was somewhat comical.

Lu Yang invited him to his office. Once inside, Zheng Wei closed the door and proceeded to recount all the information he had gathered, as if pouring out beans.

Before Zheng Wei arrived, Lu Yang only knew that the woman Li Xingran went on a blind date with was named Xiao Yuxin.

After listening to Zheng Wei's explanation, Lu Yang knew that Xiao Yuxin was a doctor at a clinic in Kyoto, and like Li Xingran, she was a child of a privileged family.

On the surface, this woman seems to have no problems. The key issue is that she had several previous relationships and a childhood sweetheart who was a very close "brother." Her relationship with this man is ambiguous.

Zheng Wei produced a certificate and said, "Although Xiao Yuxin works at the city hospital and is very careful, I still found out that she had an abortion."

Lu Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes. In this era, this woman was definitely a promiscuous woman who had gone astray.

If you're looking to marry into a wealthier family, finding a woman like this isn't necessarily a bad idea.

But Li Xingran and Xiao Yuxin's families are well-matched, and Li Xingran has a bright future ahead of him; this woman is not good enough for him.

"Thank you for your hard work. That's enough for now."

Lu Yang gave Zheng Wei another 1000 yuan. After Zheng Wei left, he immediately called the phone number that Li Xingran had given him.

The person on the other end was a man. After Lu Yang answered the phone, he immediately introduced himself. When the person on the other end heard it was him, he said, "Wait a moment."

Lu Yang waited for about 3 minutes before Li Xingran answered the phone and immediately asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Lu Yang told Li Xingran all the clues Zheng Wei had found, and Li Xingran suddenly laughed after hearing it: "I knew they had no good intentions."

"I understand now, I'll have to trouble you this time."

Lu Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "We're like family, no need to be so polite with me. Since they've got their eyes on your marriage, I advise you to find someone as soon as possible."

"Don't look for someone with poor conditions. Find someone similar to your family. That way you can shut them up."

"If you think your judgment is bad, I can help you check if there's anything wrong with the one you found yourself."

Li Xingran couldn't help but smile: "I know how to solve this."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang felt like he had swallowed a fly.

Even though Lu Jianjun and his gang exploited him so much in his previous life, they never tried to disgust him with his marriage.

Unexpectedly, despite Li Xingran's seemingly good family background and abilities, her family had quite a few dirty secrets.

He returned to the warehouse to continue helping move goods, and they finally finished their work as it was getting dark.

Lu Yang rubbed his tired back and checked the goods with Yao Lili. After they finished, they locked the warehouse door and went back to the office to continue organizing documents.

"I wonder how the construction of the factory in the north is going. I really want to go back and see."

Yao Lili yawned as she lay on the sofa in the office.

Lu Yang locked the office door, took off his coat, and went to the bathroom for a shower.

In June, Guangzhou was as hot as an oven, and he was already covered in sweat.

After they came out, he urged Yao Lili to take a shower as well, and sat down in the boss's chair, exhausted: "There's only one month left before the holiday, then we'll go back and visit together."

Yao Lili nodded, and the two of them didn't leave work until it got dark.

For the next few days, Lu Yang was busy running between the school and the clothing factory.

He almost entirely handed over the catering company business to Zheng Yuntao and Ge Sanguan.

About a week later, Qian Jianyun suddenly invited Ouyang to dinner. By the time Lu Yang arrived, Ouyang had already drunk a glass of beer.

Lu Yang was a little puzzled: "You're such a busy person, how come you suddenly have time to invite me to dinner?"

Qian Jianyun, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Li Xingran is truly a ruthless person."

"He rejected the marriage arranged for him by Grandpa Li. You may not know that the woman Grandpa Li arranged for him was a third-generation member of the Communist Party, named Xiao Yuxin."

“I heard from my friends in Kyoto that Xiao Yuxin seems to love dating, and Li Xingran probably knows about it, so he doesn’t like her very much.”

"Old Master Li didn't say anything, but his second wife had a lot of opinions about this matter. She kept saying that Xingran had high standards and that ordinary people couldn't afford to associate with her."

Lu Yang stroked his chin, feeling only irony.

He finally understood the purpose of Old Master Li's second wife's actions. She knew that Li Xingran couldn't possibly be unaware of what kind of person Xiao Yuxin was, and she just wanted to disgust Li Xingran.
