The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

Lu Qianqian took a nap on Xia Ying's bed. When she woke up, she ate the breakfast that Xia Ying had left for her, and then she felt like she had come back to life.

"Yingying, where are you?"

She shouted loudly and saw Xia Ying and a man and a woman coming out of the kitchen.

Seeing that there were other people around, Lu Qianqian greeted them warmly.

"Qianqian, you should rest first. I have something to do."

"What are you doing?"

One of the girls replied, "We are learning how to make braised tofu. Comrade Xia's skills are amazing."

"Braised tofu, what is this?"

Xia Ying picked up a plate of food she had prepared and placed it in her hands, telling her to sit down and eat.

"This is a recipe my grandma learned from the landlord's cook. Qianqian, you should try it."

Lu Qianqian took a bite; the outer skin was chewy, the inside soft and glutinous, and the taste was savory and refreshing.

"It's delicious, Yingying! Do you want to be a chef?"

"No, they are colleagues from the food factory. They are leaving this afternoon."

Lu Qianqian was slightly surprised for a moment, then switched to the spicy and sweet and spicy flavors. The spiciness was so satisfying that she forgot to ask any further questions.

Xia Ying had already taken advantage of the system store to steal the technology for braised tofu when she returned.

Then, in the name of Qingshan Commune, it was submitted to the county food factory as one of their projects for the Canton Fair. Fortunately, it was novel and tasted good, and was adopted by the food factory.

After meeting Xia Ying, the person in charge invited her to be a salesperson at the Canton Fair. This was not only because of Xia Ying's exceptionally outstanding appearance, but also because of her natural affability; her manner of speaking was completely unlike that of an orphan girl from the countryside.

"You're right, I did graduate from high school and I can speak a little English."

The person in charge was even happier: "That's even better. Xia, please prepare your documents, I'll submit them, and we'll go to Guangzhou in about two weeks after the review is approved."

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, and I hope to work successfully with you."

Thus, Xia Ying had already secured a spot at the Canton Fair long before Lu Qianqian arrived.

Two weeks later, they will need to go ahead to familiarize themselves with the venue and set up the exhibition.

I wonder if she'll be able to meet the adorable Lu Huaisheng this time.

That night, Lu Qianqian and Xia Ying slept together, and they trembled a little when they heard all sorts of strange bird calls, frog croaks and wild cat meows outside.

"Yingying, it's too dangerous for you to live here by yourself. Why don't you come back with me?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it, and I'm not scared. Qianqian, when are you planning to leave?"

Lu Qianqian said angrily, "You're already hoping I'll leave as soon as I arrive?"

"I'm worried you'll suffer. You've seen the conditions here; they're definitely not as good as the Lu family's. You're my friend, and you've been kind to me. I don't want things to affect you or trouble you because of Lu Huaisheng."

As Xia Ying spoke earnestly, she suddenly felt a slap on the shoulder, followed by a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, Yingying, you're so silly. I got a share too. My older brother just asked for three thousand yuan, and all three thousand yuan is mine. I'd come even if it took ten days, let alone three days by train!"

Infected by Lu Qianqian's laughter, Xia Ying also slightly curled the corners of her mouth, admiring the moon hanging high outside the window.

"Lu Huaisheng, we're about to meet."

Lu Qianqian stayed at Xia Ying's house for ten days. Before leaving, she took away a lot of local specialties and a letter from Xia Ying.

The two said their goodbyes with reluctance. After watching Lu Qianqian board the train, Xia Ying went to the food factory to attend a training session.

After several days of training, Xia Ying finally boarded the train with the working group from Changlin County.

"Comrade Xia, your English is very good. Did you study it specifically?"

Wang Yan, a member of the group, finally mustered up the courage to talk to Xia Ying. When she looked over, his face turned red, and he almost dared not breathe.

I learned it in high school.

Xia Ying left only four simple words before lowering her head to carefully read the work manual and note down various precautions.

Wang Yan could sense her coldness and wanted to continue the conversation, but was stopped by a female comrade.

"Comrade Xia, I don't understand this. Could you teach me?"

"certainly."

"Me too! I want some!"

In an instant, Xia Ying was surrounded by people. Some wanted to ask questions, while others were simply curious about her and wanted to talk to this beautiful girl.

"It's alright. A charming woman like Comrade Xia has no shortage of admirers. If you succeed, we'll be questioning our existence." The other men patted Wang Yan on the shoulder to comfort him, then looked at each other and burst into laughter, easing the awkward atmosphere.

After making arrangements for everyone at the guesthouse, the people from Changlin County rested for half a day before heading to the venue to set up the exhibition.

The group's overall leader was Sun Meilan, the county director, a spirited middle-aged woman with short hair and particularly bright eyes. She was of medium build, with a dimple on her face when she smiled, and quite approachable.

She really liked Xia Ying; she was strikingly beautiful and never showed any timidity when facing her, always expressing her desires with grace and confidence.

Dare to think and act, dare to fight for yourself.

Moreover, Xia Ying is only eighteen years old, very young, which really made her want to mentor Xia Ying.

"Director Sun, what a coincidence."

Inside the venue, Lu Huaisheng was supervising his people as they set up the exhibition, instructing them to transport the samples carefully.

At that moment, he saw Sun Meilan, the top official of Changlin County. He had dealt with her before; she was a very straightforward director.

Most importantly, Xia Ying is also from Changlin County.

Therefore, Lu Huaisheng took the initiative to go up and greet him.

Sun Meilan also recognized Lu Huaisheng, shook hands with him, and talked about the Canton Fair.

"Director Lu, you must have achieved great results this time. The steel plant, the machinery plant, and the food plant. I heard you also brought new products from the research institute. Congratulations in advance."

Lu Huaisheng was never one for flattery, so he simply offered polite blessings. After the two exchanged polite compliments, they prepared to end the conversation.

"Director, where do you think we should hang this poster?"

A sweet female voice came from not far away, attracting Sun Meilan's attention.

Lu Huaisheng was wondering if his ears were hallucinating, so he immediately looked in the direction of the sound—wasn't that the person he had been dreaming about day and night?

Unlike the previous Xia Ying, she had her hair pinned up behind her head, and behind her was a sharp women's suit, looking capable and neat, like a graceful orchid, exuding an alluring fragrance.

"Yingying."

Sun Meilan walked over, took the poster, and gestured to confirm the final location.

Unbeknownst to her, Lu Huaisheng, who had been talking to her earlier, had also followed her over. He was now standing not far away, his eyes bloodshot, fixed intently on Xia Ying, whom she valued.

Lu Huaisheng was breathing heavily, looking at Xia Ying from three meters away. He wanted to rush over and hug her right now!

A sliver of reason remained, warning Lu Huaisheng not to lose his composure!

Don't rush things. Yingying is right here. Don't scare people away!

When Xia Ying met Lu Huaisheng again, she smiled and showed no fear in the face of his wolf-like gaze.

She smiled brightly, tilted her head slightly, and mouthed something silently.

Lu Huaisheng understood, his heart pounded like a drum, and joy welled up inside him!

"Long time no see, Lu Huaisheng."
