Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Splash Nan Qiao with Sulfuric Acid Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Splash Nan Qiao with Sulfuric Acid Nan Qiao walked into Fu Xing Cloth Factory, just at noon, when the employees had gone to eat, leaving only the factory manager standing at the entrance to receive her.
Today, Nan Qiao wore a gray suit jacket with matching trousers and stepped in a pair of flat leather shoes.
Getting out of the car, the factory manager saw her face and revealed a surprised expression.
This image didn’t seem like someone who could become a boss through their own abilities.
The factory manager’s attitude towards Nan Qiao suddenly became less respectful than what he had initially planned to offer.
The factory manager walked up with a smile and took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Dayong, “Manager Xu, long time no see.”
Xu Dayong was very pleased, shaking hands with the factory manager, looking as if he was the boss of the company.
Nan Qiao glanced at the factory manager and walked inside.
Xu Dayong and the factory manager exchanged glances, “Manager Xu, everything has been taken care of.”
“Not bad, you seem very promising.”
The factory manager was ecstatic, he could already foresee opening several branches in his future!
The two men followed Nan Qiao inside, watching her inspect the fabric seriously, and checked the machines as if she knew what she was doing.
When they arrived at the dye vats, Nan Qiao’s brows furrowed.
“Old Liu, are these your dye vats?
The smell is a bit pungent!”
Old Liu came over, neither servile nor overbearing, and said, “President Nan, you clearly don’t understand this area, so of course, you’d find it somewhat pungent.
Think about it, dyes, which ones would actually smell good?”
Xu Dayong nodded in agreement, “Old Liu is absolutely right.
Different lines of work are different worlds.
Don’t speak without knowledge.”
Nan Qiao raised her head to look at Xu Dayong, her eyes gleaming with irony, “Manager Xu, you know about ‘different lines of work are different worlds,’ huh?
I don’t understand, so you do?
How much do you know about dyes?”
Xu Dayong was at a loss for words, and Old Liu also experienced Nan Qiao’s sharp wit for himself, quickly adding, “President Nan, these are all normal dyes, there’s no problem at all.
Our cloth factory has been a collaborative partner with your company for many years, I wouldn’t cheat your company, rest assured.”
Nan Qiao didn’t speak and continued walking further inside.
Old Liu tried to stop her, but couldn’t keep up with Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao had trained in Martial Arts, and with quick speed, she came to the interior and looked at the dye canisters on the ground, frowning.
“President Nan, aren’t you just here to visit?
It seems like you’re trying to pry into our factory’s formulas!”
A flicker of panic crossed Xu Dayong’s eyes, “President Nan, you came for inspection, not an investigation, what are you doing snooping around people’s houses for?”
Nan Qiao pointed to the dye buckets on the ground and asked, “I have never heard of these brands.”
“There are plenty of brands you haven’t heard of, and even the famous ones aren’t necessarily better, right?”
“Old Liu is absolutely right, President Nan.
You can’t let your youth and lack of understanding make you think only what you recognize is right.
That’s not something a boss should say or do.”
Nan Qiao calmly watched Old Liu and Xu Dayong team up to scold her, yet she remained silent.
As Nan Qiao spoke, Old Liu and Xu Dayong suddenly felt like they were being made fools of.
Old Liu tried to smooth things over, “President Nan, let me take you to our dye vats for a look.”
Thinking of this, Xu Dayong didn’t argue further.
Nan Qiao nodded, Old Liu led the way, she walked in the middle, and Xu Dayong followed behind her.
It wasn’t until they reached the dye vats that the three stopped.
Old Liu said with a smile, “These dye vats are filled with colors we’ve newly introduced.
President Nan, take a closer look, the fabric colors are particularly attractive.”
As Nan Qiao leaned in, Old Liu exchanged a look with Xu Dayong, and they both moved forward.
Xu Dayong reached out his hand and pushed Nan Qiao into the dye vat.
Xu Dayong’s face turned ferocious, his eyes alight with the arrogance of a murderer.
Old Liu reached out to hold Nan Qiao’s arm, worrying she might escape.
As the two men looked at each other, pushing Nan Qiao into the dye vat, there came a dramatic change in the situation.
Nan Qiao’s lips curled into a wicked smile as she stepped on Xu Dayong’s foot and kicked backward, striking Manager Liu between his legs.
Li Yehan arrived just in time to see someone about to harm her.
He quickened his pace, leapt into the air, and delivered a kick to Xu Dayong’s back, sending him tumbling into the dye vat.
Manager Liu tried to seize the chance to push Nan Qiao in, but Li Yehan grabbed his hand.
The sound of a snap accompanied by Manager Liu’s howl of pain rang out as Li Yehan twisted his other hand, snap, breaking it.
Nan Qiao was shocked by his swift, precise, and ruthless actions.
Li Yehan, seeing Nan Qiao standing there stunned, thought she was scared and drew her into his embrace.
The warmth of his embrace gradually calmed Nan Qiao’s heart.
His voice reached her ears, and Nan Qiao instinctively looked up at him, the first thing she saw was Li Yehan’s chin.
He lowered his gaze, their eyes met, and Nan Qiao felt a sudden surge of comfort.
“How did you get here?”
“I heard you were coming to the factory and wanted to take you out for a meal, so I came.”
He hadn’t expected to witness such a scene!
Does your hand hurt?”
Li Yehan took Nan Qiao’s hand and inspected it closely.
Nan Qiao took his large hand in hers, “I’m fine, your timing was perfect, you saved me.”
Li Yehan probably didn’t see her fight, did he?
He probably didn’t know she was skilled in martial arts.
Li Yehan probably still thought of her as a fragile woman who couldn’t fend for herself.
Looking into Nan Qiao’s bright, shiny black eyes, Li Yehan smiled and said, “Don’t look at me like that, my princess.”
Nan Qiao bashfully lowered her head as the sound of water splashing came from behind.
Manager Liu and Xu Dayong climbed out of the dye vat, their bodies dyed in every color of the rainbow, unrecognizable even by their own mothers.
Both men sat on the ground, without the strength to retaliate.
Li Yehan took Nan Qiao’s hand, “Qiaoqiao, I’ll take you back first and send Old Liu to handle this.”
Nan Qiao nodded; she needed to call the police and assist with the investigation to get these two men behind bars!
As the two turned to leave, Xu Dayong stood up, grabbed a bottle from the corner, and hurled it towards Nan Qiao.
“Qiaoqiao, be careful!”
Without hesitation, Li Yehan pulled Nan Qiao into his arms, holding her tight against his chest.
The bottle hit Li Yehan, and Nan Qiao detected a faint pungent smell, sulfuric acid!
It was actually sulfuric acid!
Old Liu came in just in time to stop Manager Liu and Xu Dayong.
Nan Qiao’s eyes reddened with terror, “Li Yehan, let me see your back.”
Li Yehan waved it off, “No need, I don’t want to scare you.
Don’t worry, I’ll just go to the hospital to get it treated.”
“We won’t make it to the hospital in time!”
Nan Qiao pulled Li Yehan to a water tap on the ground.
Fortunately, there was a clean water pipe; Nan Qiao quickly connected it, “Li Yehan, you need to take off your clothes quickly; we need to rinse with water to wash off the sulfuric acid.”
Nan Qiao turned on the tap, and as the water sprayed out, she turned around and bumped into Li Yehan’s strong chest.
Nan Qiao lifted her head to see his exposed, muscular physique, and her heart pounded fiercely.
