Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 505: Chapter 498: When a Woman Pursues a Man, It’s Only a Veil Apart

What on earth does Shen Mingzhu want to do? Since she couldn’t get in through me, is she trying to approach Juying now?

Could Shen Mingzhu’s target be the brewery?

Thinking about the enthusiasm Shen Mingzhu showed for He Family Wine when she first came to our house, Sisi felt that she might be close to the truth.

After thinking it over, Sisi said to Zhong Juying, "I guess I know her. We’ve been shopping together a few times, but I’m not very close to her. Juying, you should be careful too. I think this Shen Mingzhu is not a good person."

Although Sisi felt that letting Zhong Juying deal with Shen Mingzhu to draw out her real intentions was more realistic, she didn’t want to use Juying, an honest person, and she also worried that Juying might actually be deceived by Shen Mingzhu.

Zhong Juying was startled and nodded blankly. She didn’t ask Sisi why Shen Mingzhu wasn’t a good person and decided in her heart not to interact with Shen Mingzhu anymore.

Zhong Juying went to the workshop to prepare the wine medicine. She opened the safe, took out a bottle of wine medicine, carefully counted the pieces inside, then counted the bottles in the box again, and with a smile, took out two bottles of wine medicine and carefully closed the safe door.

Sisi was very satisfied with what she saw; Juying might not be very capable, but her greatest advantage was her meticulous loyalty. Entrusting her with the custody of the wine medicine couldn’t be more appropriate.

After parting ways with Juying, Sisi took Du Du and went to find Yuan Jin. Today, her main reason for seeing Yuan Jin was about increasing the beer production lines. What drink sells best in summer? Of course, it’s beer.

Especially the men here in Huang Yuan, who love nothing more in summer than sitting shirtless in the courtyard drinking a bottle of ice-cold beer from the local well – the taste is just incredibly refreshing.

Currently, there are not many breweries in the nation. Since He Family Brewery wants to be a leader, how could they not produce beer?

Moreover, her Space itself has a formula for brewing beer, and it also grows hops. She had been brewing beer in the Space recently, and it has been successful; the beer tasted very good and could reach international first-class standards.

Sisi had experimented, and the wine yeast could still be used in brewing beer as well, and it could enhance the taste and quality of the beer. However, the dosage and proportions needed to be recalibrated.

But these were minor issues. The important things were the procurement of beer production lines and the issue of hops. The beer production line equipment could be purchased from Germany, something she had already asked Mu Xiusheng to help contact about; it would be paid upon delivery.

And solving the hops problem wasn’t difficult, as He Xuewen, already three years ago on her advice, had contracted about 100 hectares in Xinjiang B State specifically to cultivate hops. Now in its third year, a large amount of high-quality hops could be harvested this autumn. Once the German production lines arrived, He Family Beer could be launched next summer.

Since the brewing process for beer and spirits were entirely different, a whole new set of workers needed to be recruited, and they also needed to hire someone knowledgeable about beer production management to be the workshop director, and that was Yuan Jin’s responsibility.

After hearing Sisi’s plans, Yuan Jin immediately said he would handle it well and ensure the He Family Beer’s market launch next summer.

"Actually, I already have a candidate in mind. Manager Li brought an excellent salesman, Mr. He, from a beer factory in another province. Mr. He brought in several large orders. He mentioned his good friend is in charge of production in a brewery and is very familiar with the processes. His friend was also initially planning to come to our factory, but he didn’t when he heard we only brewed spirits. Now that we are adding a beer production line, I believe his friend will definitely come."

Sisi was pleased to hear this, "Then make contact with this friend of Mr. He as soon as possible, see if he is really capable. As for other benefits, you decide on them."

Yuan Jin nodded with a smile, very pleased with Sisi’s trusting attitude.

After finishing the discussion of official matters, Sisi glanced at Yuan Jin and, after thinking for a moment, asked, "Brother Yuan, how has Li Yuzhi been performing recently?"

Sisi noticed that Yuan Jin’s eyes lit up at the mention of Li Yuzhi, filled with excitement, which made her heart sink a bit—had Yuan Jin really fallen for her?

"She’s been doing very well. Manager Li’s sales performance has even surpassed Duofu’s and she has won the sales department’s triple crown. She aims to take the championship next month as well," Yuan Jin said excitedly.

Sisi raised an eyebrow, surprised that Li Yuzhi was doing so well in the sales department.

It was indeed impressive!

"That’s really impressive!" Sisi also praised along.

Sisi changed the topic and asked, "Brother Yuan, I heard that you and Manager Li seem to be dating?"

Yuan Jin’s dark face immediately turned red, and he shook his head hastily, repeatedly saying, "No such thing, Sisi, who told you that?"

Seeing the innocent expression on Yuan Jin’s face, Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief for Mei Ying. Thank goodness, it hadn’t reached an irreversible point.

"Do I need to hear it from someone else? It’s all over the factory!"

Sisi deliberately exaggerated the matter a bit, and sure enough, it scared someone so much that his face turned white, stuttering, "How could this happen? How could this be?"

Poor Yuan Jin, an outstanding King of Soldiers, is really a fool when it comes to matters of the heart. He was tricked by Sisi in just a few words.

Seeing Yuan Jin’s reaction, Sisi couldn’t help but laugh, now truly believing that Yuan Jin had no romantic feelings for Li Yuzhi. However, she still asked one more question.

"Brother Yuan, do you have any feelings for Manager Li?"

Yuan Jin waved his hands frantically, "No, there’s nothing of that sort, I’m so busy every day, where would I have the time to think about these things?"

"That won’t do, Brother Yuan. You’re not getting any younger, you should still consider personal matters. Our brewery can’t possibly expect you to remain a bachelor forever, right? Tell me what type of girl you’re looking for, and I’ll keep an eye out for you," Sisi teased with a smile.

Yuan Jin shook his head seriously and said, "Sisi, I really don’t have the mindset for this right now. If I were to casually find a girl to marry, it wouldn’t be fair to her, and it would also harm the girl."

Yuan Jin was very serious, and Sisi could tell he wasn’t just making excuses. Sisi could also hear that Yuan Jin’s words were specifically for her to hear, his intention was obvious with a bit of thought.

Poor Mei Ying!

Silently, Sisi felt sorry for her friend and hoped that Mei Ying could persevere until a clearer future.

Sisi originally thought of chatting more with Yuan Jin, but Du Du became impatient, crying incessantly, so Sisi had to say goodbye. However, she still advised Yuan Jin, since he wasn’t dating Li Yuzhi, it was best to keep a distance, and Yuan Jin quickly agreed, declaring that even if talking business in the future, he would bring along Assistant Xiao Li.

When Sisi left Yuan Jin’s office, she specifically went to find Zhong Meiying and called her out from the workshop. Although Zhong Meiying had lost some weight, her spirits were still good, which reassured Sisi.

Sisi relayed Yuan Jin’s words to her, just repeating what Yuan Jin had said without adding her own opinions. Zhong Meiying was silent for a long while before looking up with a bright smile.

"It’s fine, Sisi, don’t worry about me. Didn’t Yuan Jin say he’s just not considering personal matters for now? He’s not ruling it out forever. I’ll just wait."

But this kind of waiting is really painful!

Sisi felt sympathy for Zhong Meiying, but she also knew how stubborn Mei Ying was, otherwise she wouldn’t have left her hometown to follow Yuan Jin to Huang Yuan.

After some thought, Sisi could only come up with a bad idea: "Mei Ying, instead of passively waiting, why not take the initiative? There’s an old saying, ’A man chasing a woman is separated by mountains, a woman chasing a man, only by a layer of gauze.’ It shows that we girls shouldn’t be too reserved. Since you like Yuan Jin so much, you can’t just foolishly stand still and wait, you have to run and chase."

Zhong Meiying was taken aback, "That’s so embarrassing!"

"If you’re afraid of embarrassment, just wait to become a spinster!" Sisi was frustrated like one would be with unyielding iron.

Zhong Meiying, brainwashed by Sisi, indeed had potential. On her subsequent path of pursuing her husband, she was full of vigor, making the employees of the brewery daily amused and happy.
