Chapter 73: 73. An uninvited guest
He Yi had originally planned to quickly present the evidence to the court the next day and Sue Chu Tianyi. However, Wan Wan returned to her side smoothly. Yi Liangze also said that one needed to be well-prepared to win the case in one strike, so she put away the evidence and waited patiently for the time being.
Chu Tianyi did not know the existence of this thing, and even Wan Wan did not know what it was. It was just a memory card. Other than He Yi, no one knew what was inside.
He Yi used the card reader to play the video, and sure enough, the quality of the video was intact. She carefully made a backup and sealed the memory card. Then, she focused on experimenting with a new method of tanning leather.
After a few days, Chu Tianyi did not come to cause trouble. He Yi was surprised but also glad. No matter what Chu Tianyi was worried about, he didn’t continue to make a move. This opportunity to catch her breath was extremely precious to her.
She needed time to do many things, such as the large order of 30 million with Jinling, which required Fu Xing Leather Factory to produce day and night. The whole factory was busy.
Besides the industrial process, He Yi began to try the nitrification method recorded in her father’s secret formula.
Fu Xing leather factory originally had dozens of big pits of nitrous leather, He Yi realized that her father had long used this method. Therefore, there was no need to do too much preparation, she and the deputy director Zhuo Hongzhao followed the secret formula.
Zhuo Hongzhao was an excellent person in the leather nitrous industry, with many years of experience in managing leather companies abroad, but his attitude was a bit stubborn, not very good at communication and expression. He was okay abroad, but when he returned to China, his inexperience made it difficult for him to move forward in the workplace.
Before he applied to He Yi’s leather factory, Zhuo Hongzhao had been unemployed and idling at home for nearly a year. The unemployment of a middle-aged man was a fatal injury to a family. He was also anxious. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would not have applied for a senior management position in a newly opened factory like Fu Xing.
He Yi gave Zhuo Hongzhao a good salary and heavy responsibility. She did not need him to deal with public relations, so she kept him away from people, and he focused on managing the operation of the factory.
Zhuo Hongzhao had the ultimate power at the leather factory. He did not have to answer to any superior (he had previously resigned because he had quarreled with his superior), and he did not need to interfere in the matter of getting orders and negotiating contracts (He Yi handled it all by herself), he focused on doing what he was good at. Naturally, he was like a fish in water. Gradually, he showed his extraordinary talent in this field.
“In ancient India, there was a method of tanning leather with wild pigeon dung. The tanned leather was pliable, smooth, and more elastic. However, this traditional method was limited by the problem of production. In addition, with the development of social industrialization, wild pigeon dung became harder and harder to find.” Zhuo Hongzhao said, while instructing the workers to scoop up the first batch of salted leather, they washed it and continued the next step of processing.
He Yi smiled confidently. “The leather salted by wild pigeon droppings is specially used to produce top-notch handmade luxury goods. Of course, it won’t be as expensive as ordinary salted leather. In this way, it also offsets the tedious and time-consuming process. As for the wild pigeon feces that are hard to find... this is a difficult problem! “In a few years, the old city area in the northern suburbs will be demolished. It’s indeed becoming rarer and rarer. I’ll think of another way to see if there’s anything else that can replace it.”
As they were talking, the cleaning lady walked over and said, “President He, two ladies are looking for you.”

An elongated Rolls Royce drove into the Fu Xing Leather Factory. The car stopped and the driver hurriedly got out to open the car door. Two beautiful and elegant ladies came out.
A beautiful middle-aged woman held an old woman with snow-white hair. The two of them whispered to each other as they walked toward the office building.
“Mom, I always feel that this is too rushed! Yi Liangze has repeatedly warned us not to meet He Yi in private first.” Fang Yaqin advised earnestly, even though she knew that Old Lady Yi would not listen to her at all.
“We’re about to get married. We should at least meet our granddaughter-in-law and introduce ourselves to our great-granddaughter.” Old Lady Yi had her ideas and plans. “I guess Yi Liangze is afraid that He Yi will be shy, so he won’t let us ask her. But I wonder about He Yi. This child doesn’t seem like an irresponsible person. How could she take Wan Wan to marry another man? She must have her difficulties. I have to ask clearly!”
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked, they walked into the office building and asked the cleaning lady about He Yi’s whereabouts.
The cleaning lady said that He Yi was in the backyard of the factory building with the deputy factory manager. She didn’t allow random people to come in and out.
“We are not random people.” Old Lady Yi curled her lips and said, “Go and tell He Yi. We will wait for her here!”
*
The cleaning lady found He Yi in the backyard of the factory, discussing tanning leather with the deputy factory manager Zhuo Hongzhao. She quickly told her what had happened.
He Yi heard the cleaning lady’s description and knew that the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had come. She had long expected this day, but at the end of the day, she still could not help but feel flustered.
Yi Liangze had already “Proposed” to her, given her flowers and a wedding ring, and even showed her the “Wedding room”, saying that he was going to marry her next month. Today, the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to visit, and He Yi had to secretly guess that Yi Liangze’s “Whim” had been found out by the Yi family’s elders, so they came to dispel her delusional thoughts.
He Yi even had a vague prediction in her mind about what would happen next — the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s generous speech was to let her understand that she was not worthy of marrying into the Yi family and then write her a huge check at the end, it would be her compensation for leaving Yi Liangze on her own accord.
“Where’s Jiameng? Ask her to come over with me!” He Yi said.
The cleaning lady reminded, “Manager Wei went to the hospital to pick up secretary Ji. How could you forget?”
*
The incident happened so suddenly. Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan were not around. He Yi could only brace herself and go to see the Yi family’s delegates alone.
She rushed to the office building. He Yi took out her phone and thought about whether she should call Yi Liangze. However, after a moment of hesitation, she put her phone back.
What was coming was coming. She could only bear what was coming, even if Yi Liangze was the one who started it.
He Yi took a deep breath and walked out of the elevator. Not long after, she saw the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waiting for her. She went up to them with a smile. “Grandma, Auntie, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I wanted to prepare myself. Sorry for making you wait outside for so long.”
No matter what their intentions were, they were elders after all, and they had helped Wei Jimeng in her divorce case. It was a necessary courtesy and quality to show kindness and enthusiasm.
The bright smile on Old Lady Yi’s face surprised He Yi, and Fang Yaqin was also very kind. The Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not seem to be here to interrogate her, but He Yi did not dare to let her guard down.
Opening the office door, He Yi quickly offered them seats and personally went to make tea.
“I just bought some new pre-ming Longjing stir-fried with seven-star firewood the day before yesterday. Grandma and Auntie, have a taste!” He Yi secretly sized up the two of them from the corner of her eyes as she made tea.
Fang Yaqin only pursed her lips slightly, while Old Lady Yi laughed heartily. “There’s no need for you to be busy. We’re not here to drink tea. The three of us should sit down and have a proper conversation!”
