Chapter 273 Mom~~ Pangpang said his mom scolded you~~

Chapter 273: Mom~~ Fatty said his mom scolded you~~

After Wu Gang left, the Vice Dean directly said:

"Little Su, you don't need to pay attention to Wu Gang's words. You should handle things as you see fit. However, increasing production capacity is a top priority.

Haven't you shipped out several batches of goods? The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and everyone is clamoring for them.

Especially since you also included trial samples of new products. Everyone is asking when the new products will be officially launched. My phone has been ringing off the hook."

Yes, Su Taotao had separated one of the teams to produce a batch of new-flavored candies, which were included as "trial samples" in the orders. This was both a gesture of gratitude to customers and a way to promote the new products, killing two birds with one stone.

She smiled and said, "Given our current resources and workforce, we can only increase production once the new factory is up and running. I came here mainly to discuss with you..."

Their discussion took up a good part of the morning.

During this time, there were some issues that required the presence of a few key leaders to resolve, so the Vice Dean called them over for consultation.

The meeting dragged on until noon.

On Fu Yuanhang's side, after sending the children to school, he brought Bai Bai back to the factory for part-time work.

Bai Bai was especially fond of Ping An. As soon as Fu Yuanhang released him, it ran over to Ping An, nuzzling against him and running circles around him.

"What took you so long? We've already cracked open several coconuts," Uncle Mu said. He had gone out with Auntie Zhong today and came particularly early.

"I had to send Chenchen to school first," Fu Yuanhang picked up a coconut and with a swift motion, cracked it open cleanly.

Kang Zi smiled and said, "Thanks to you guys, I've managed to save up a good amount of pocket money this summer. I've never had this much money before.

Ah Hang, this weekend, Uncle Mu and I will head out to the island with you. We'll treat you to something delicious."

Fu Yuanhang shook his head, "I'm afraid not. I have to attend classes with my teacher."

Kang Zi said, "Can't you finish class a bit earlier? Even if you just come out to play with us for an hour."

Fu Yuanhang still shook his head, "I can't."

The chance to learn from Mr. Tang was invaluable. If Su Taotao wasn't out on business, there was just one class a week, so Fu Yuanhang cherished it greatly.

"Then how about this, Uncle Mu and I will go play and bring back something delicious for you," Kang Zi suggested.

Fu Yuanhang smiled, "That works."

The three friends exchanged smiles and continued their happy part-time work.

Little Chenchen, however, seemed a bit glum.

He wasn't very enthusiastic during playtime.

Dongdong almost thought he might be getting sick, "Chenchen, why do you look so unhappy?"

Chenchen sighed, "My dad flew away on a plane~~"

"What?" Dongdong was startled, "Did your dad leave you and Auntie Taotao?"

Chenchen puffed out his cheeks and glared at him, "Dongdong, what are you thinking~~ My dad just went on a business trip~~ How could he leave me and mom~~ Our family will always be together~~"

Dongdong blinked, "You just seemed so sad..."

Chenchen puffed out his little cheeks: "I'm not that sad~~ I just miss my daddy~~"

Dongdong nodded: "Yeah, if I had a dad as great as Uncle Yuanhang, I’d miss him too."

Chenchen tilted his head to the side and asked: "If Uncle Shu went on a business trip~~ wouldn't you miss him~~"

Dongdong shook his head, acting all grown-up: "No, he’s always gone early and back late, so I hardly see him anymore. I’m used to it."

"Ah~~" Chenchen didn’t understand, "But~~ when my daddy’s home~~ we have breakfast together every day~~

Even if we don’t have dinner together~~ I always see him before bedtime~~

My daddy misses me too~~ doesn’t your daddy miss you~~"

Dongdong thought seriously about this question and said uncertainly: "Probably not. I haven’t seen him in three days, anyway."

"Ah~~" Chenchen widened his eyes and said very seriously to Dongdong, "I think you should tell Uncle Shu~~ it's not right for a dad to do this~~"

Pangpang, hearing their conversation, also came over and said:

"I haven’t seen my dad in three days either. My mom hasn’t been going to work lately, and she’s been watching me all day. She wouldn’t even let me come to school. I cried and threw a fit—it was so hard to see you guys."

Chenchen and Dongdong both gave him sympathetic looks.

Chenchen sighed again: "If only my mom didn’t have to work~~ I could stay with her~~ and not have to come to school~~ but she’s so busy~~"

"Chenchen, I heard my mom yelling at your mom—she really went off on her." Pangpang said.

Pangpang, you’re really Li Qiuju’s little angel, aren’t you?

"Why was she yelling at my mom~~" Chenchen asked in confusion.

Pangpang shook his head: "Maybe because your mom’s the factory director, and it seems like she didn’t let my mom work. Oh, I don’t know—my mom’s just so annoying. She yells at everyone."

Chenchen retorted: "My mom’s not annoying at all~~ your mom’s just being mean~~" His mom is obviously so good.

Pangpang said: "I didn’t yell, but I can’t stop her."

...

At lunchtime, Yuanhang came to pick up Chenchen for lunch.

Chenchen told Uncle Shu about this.

"Uncle Shu~~ why was Pangpang’s mom yelling at my mom~~" the little kid asked if he didn’t understand.

Yuanhang shook his head: "I don’t know, but some people just like to yell for no reason. We can’t control what others say, but we can choose not to listen."

Chenchen covered his ears with his small, chubby hands: "But I can’t help it~~ I don’t like people talking about my mom~~"

Yuanhang patted his little head: "Your mom won’t mind. She says strong people focus on their own business."

Chenchen seemed to understand but not quite, he grumbled and stuffed a big bite into his mouth, his cheeks puffing out like a little squirrel’s as he chewed furiously.

"Slow down, or you’ll choke," Yuanhang said.

...

Even when Taotao came to pick up the kids after work, Chenchen was still thinking about it.

The child immediately complained to Su Taotao upon seeing her: "Mama~~ Pangpang said his mama was talking bad about you~~"

The twins nodded simultaneously: "We heard it too, y'know."

Dongdong also nodded: "I heard it too, Chenchen was especially unhappy."

Chenchen nodded heavily: "Yeah~~ Don't talk bad about my mama~~"

Pangpang nervously scratched the back of his head, feeling particularly embarrassed, as if he shouldn't have mentioned it: "No, it's just, anyway, it's not..."

Su Taotao patted the child's head: "It's not right to badmouth people, and talking bad about someone behind their back is really low. Let's not learn from that.

Chenchen, don't be upset. People will say what they want, and we can't stop them. Alright, let's go home."

After saying this, Su Taotao picked up Chenchen and placed him on her vehicle, then turned around and almost bumped into Pangpang's mother, Li Qiuju, who was coming in from outside.

These words naturally reached Li Qiuju's ears, and her already not-so-fair complexion turned as dark as the bottom of a pot...
