Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Gossip Must Be Shared

Jiang Cheng and Grandma Shen exchanged glances, both wearing the same "gossipy expressions" on their faces.

Grandma Shen tiptoed over and sat cross-legged on the chair.

"Comfortable!"

She had been waiting for this moment for many days.

Jiang Cheng smiled with her eyes and pushed over the shelled sunflower seeds.

"Have some, chatting dryly is kind of boring."

Grandma Shen picked up the shelled seeds, asking skeptically: "Didn’t Shen Yue shell these for you?"

"Offering flowers to Buddha... Mainly because I really can’t eat anymore, you guys fed me too much tonight."

Jiang Cheng patted her still somewhat bloated stomach and leaned back into a comfortable position.

After eating some shelled seeds, Grandma Shen naturally leaned forward, her voice instinctively lowered.

"Yang Guihua’s real mother, the girl who grabs Shen Yue’s stuff, Lin Jiaojiao’s mother-in-law, she’s come down."

"Director Zhang from the street has become the big leader of our area!"

"You wouldn’t know, Lin Jiaojiao used to come back every day flaunting, the matter hadn’t even been settled, she’d already started shouting that her mother-in-law would be promoted this time, but in the end... not only didn’t she get promoted, but was also dismissed."

Originally leaning back, Jiang Cheng suddenly leaned forward.

"Why was she dismissed?"

Jiang Cheng could guess it was Director Zhang riding the coattails of the fabric scrap packet.

Before leaving, she had delivered some news about Director Hu forging documents, but she didn’t know how the operation was carried out specifically.

Grandma Shen leaned closer again, her voice even lower.

"On the surface they say it’s retiring due to poor health, but actually, I heard she embezzled quite a bit when she was the director. But the Yang Family is powerful, they covered it up, saying it’s retirement."

Jiang Cheng responded with an "oh," displaying a satisfied look of eating melon seeds.

Grandma Shen then said worriedly, "Be careful, a cornered dog might jump over the wall, Director Zhang’s rise is true, but the fabric scrap packet you arranged also played quite a part."

Jiang Cheng picked up her teacup, took a sip, and with a voice only two could hear, said: "It’s fine, the Yang Family won’t enjoy its glory for long."

Grandma Shen, surprised, stepped back a bit, reminding her: "Don’t tell me, secrecy is success! Don’t be like Lin Jiaojiao, making a fuss when not even the first stroke of the Chinese character is done."

Jiang Cheng wholeheartedly agreed.

The gossip continued.

From Grandma Shen’s words, Jiang Cheng learned the reason for Lin Chengyuan’s impending promotion.

The Factory Director Sun of the machinery factory is going for a provincial position; the director’s position is now vacant.

The subordinate directors and deputy factory managers are all eager, and Lin Chengyuan was recruited through the Yang Family’s influence.

At present, it seems Lin Chengyuan is quite confident about the team he’s chosen to side with.

After listening, Jiang Cheng summarized: "The louder the chorus, the happier the hopping ones often are the least chosen."

Grandma Shen agreed and said that’s true.

"You’re right, this kid Lin Chengyuan has always aimed high since he was young, never achieving anything much."

"By the way, He Dan has found a job."

Jiang Cheng asked slightly surprised:

"What kind of job?"

"The bathhouse, cleaning the pools."

Jiang Cheng was genuinely shocked.

Grandma Shen, animatedly sharing, excitedly asked, "Unbelievable, right?"

Jiang Cheng made a sound of acknowledgment, decisively said: "Really unimaginable! He Dan is so concerned about her face, how did she agree to do this?"

Grandma Shen clicked her tongue twice.

"What’s the deal? When married, it’s either the east wind crushing the west wind, or the west wind topping the east wind. With Lin Chengyuan poised to rise up and fortune, could He Dan still sit idle at home?"

"Besides, this job was arranged by Lin Jiaojiao through the Yang Family."

"On the day bringing back the news, Lin Jiaojiao severely disgraced He Dan, calling her a freeloader, that a good-hearted sister-in-law found her a job and she still hesitated, plus Lin’s mother, and Lin’s old lady on the side, could He Dan not agree?"

Jiang Cheng listened to the gossip, clearly she hadn’t been away for long, yet why did it feel like so much had happened?

After gossiping for three hours, both felt physically exhausted but mentally "rich."

After a good night’s sleep, Jiang Cheng got up early as usual, returning to her home routine.

Around six o’clock, Jiang Cheng opened the door and came out, just to meet Granny Sun coming to find her.

"Yes!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
