CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 93: A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN

The team leader rushed over at this time, and after understanding the whole story, he said to the people of the Smartie office: "Everyone in Li Hua Team knows there’s a conflict between Smartie Wen and Lin Xiang. It’s not impossible for him to falsely accuse Lin Xiang on purpose."

"Moreover, Lin Xiang is now running to the town government every day, her main task being to serve as a translator for foreign businessmen. Her own time is barely enough, so how could she have the spare time to harm others? Comrade, I know you want to uncover the truth, but as the team leader of Li Hua Team, I assure you that Lin Xiang would never harm anyone."

Lin Xiang suddenly felt a bit uneasy but it was just a fleeting moment.

Because she had already spoken to Huang Laizi, and they weren’t going to turn her in; on the contrary, a thorough investigation would surely reveal Wen Siyuan’s plot involving hooligans to ruin her reputation.

The Smartie office people conducted interviews, and whether it was the people from Li Hua Team or the Smarties from Smartie Courtyard, they all spoke highly of Lin Xiang, but not a single person stood up for Wen Siyuan.

Thus, Wen Siyuan, who reported Lin Xiang, got caught instead.

While being taken away by the Smartie office people, Wen Siyuan kept shouting at the top of his lungs: "I’m innocent! I’m being falsely accused! You can’t do this to me, let me go!"

Just before being led away, Wen Siyuan accidentally met Lin Xiang’s gaze, and then he saw the smile in her eyes and immediately understood that this was all Lin Xiang’s plot!

Yet he forgot that if he hadn’t schemed first, trying to ruin Lin Xiang’s reputation, how could Lin Xiang have retaliated against him?

Yang Lihua didn’t know when she had stood in front of Lin Xiang and suddenly realized, "I just realized why you made me call those people together at the village entrance to make headbands yesterday. Turns out you had already guessed what Wen Siyuan would do and planned ahead?"

Lin Xiang shrugged, "The initial conflict between him and me wasn’t that big. I was just upset that he was being unfaithful, demanding compensation, and revealing his true colors publicly. I thought that would end the matter. But he insisted on treating me as an enemy and schemed against me repeatedly, and I certainly couldn’t tolerate that."

Especially since he previously tried to forcibly have relations with Yang Lihua, disregarding her refusal, for the sake of returning to the city.

And he even found hooligans to ruin Lin Xiang’s reputation as revenge.

Although Lin Xiang is a time-traveling person, she was only in her early twenties before the time-travel, lacking social experience and sharp insight into people, and without any cheat abilities. If it hadn’t been for Yu Fang notifying her in advance, she really might have been fooled by Wen Siyuan!

This person is already rotten to the core and should receive the punishment he deserves!

But Yang Lihua was unhappy.

"You didn’t treat me as a friend, you didn’t even tell me beforehand!"

Lin Xiang placed her hand on her shoulder, "This is a serious matter, and I just didn’t want to drag you into it. I didn’t mean to not treat you as a friend."

"So you do consider me a friend?"

Lin Xiang: "Yes, you count as my friend."

Yang Lihua is a person with a good heart, enthusiastic, not particularly smart, but possessing wise innocence, making her a good choice for a friend.

Upon hearing Lin Xiang’s confirmation, Yang Lihua’s eyes lit up instantly, "Since you treat me as a friend, would you treat me to some spicy noodles? Yu Fang keeps saying your spicy noodles are delicious, but I haven’t had a taste yet!"

"I haven’t eaten either; I’ll bring sweet potato noodles from my home, you just need to cook them for me. How about it?"

Such a simple request, Lin Xiang naturally agreed.

"Lihua, do you have extra potatoes at home? I need some to trade for a sack of potatoes, as I want to make more potato noodles."

Sweet potato noodles boiled in spicy flavor are delicious, but bone broth and the three-fresh flavors are more suitable for potato noodles.

Lin Xiang plans to experiment with several different flavors, hoping to find one that appeals to John, prompting him to enthusiastically propose cooperation.

"Sure, when should I come to find you?"

Lin Xiang was about to reply when she heard Accountant Xu shouting at her from afar: "Lin Xiang, there’s a call from the town, you need to answer it quickly!"

Lin Xiang had to say to Yang Lihua: "I’ll come to find you after I return from the town this afternoon, and you can have my spicy noodles then."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you!"

Lin Xiang assumed the call was from Secretary Wang asking her to go to the guesthouse and translate for the foreign businessmen.

However, on the phone, Secretary Wang spoke urgently, "Comrade Lin Xiang, can you come to town now? Mr. Wilson has also come to Mianyang Town and learned about Mr. John’s fabric orders, and they are about to fight!"

They aren’t skilled in foreign languages, and they can only hear the two sides speaking fast gibberish, with some physical pushing, but can’t understand what they are arguing about.

"I understand, I’ll head to the guesthouse now."

Halfway there, Lin Xiang encountered Secretary Wang coming with the driver.

In the car, Secretary Wang said, "We’ve vaguely guessed that Mr. Wilson is angry because the cotton spinning factory didn’t wait for him before signing the order with Mr. John first, thinking we lack integrity."

Secretary Wang’s tone was full of helplessness.

People from Hua Country always value integrity, and with Wilson accusing them of a lack of integrity, all their previous efforts seemed to have gone to waste.

When Lin Xiang arrived at the guesthouse, John and Wilson were still arguing fiercely.

In the United States, the Wilson Family and the John Family are competitors and do not get along.

Wilson came to Hua Country and purchased a batch of fabrics, the garments made from which were very popular in the United States. This quarter, the Wilson Family’s revenue was significantly higher than that of the John Family, and the competitive balance seemed to tilt slightly towards the Wilson Family.

Unexpectedly, Wilson didn’t anticipate that John would secretly come to Hua Country and learn from him to purchase fabrics on a large scale, amounting to 5 million Hua Coins!

million Hua Coins are insignificant to both families, but Hua Country’s products are high quality and low-priced. Once transported back to the United States and modified, their profits can be much more than just three to five times!

"Lin, you’re here just in time!"

Upon seeing Lin Xiang, Wilson immediately halted his meaningless quarrel with John and walked straight toward Lin Xiang with his long legs, "I already clearly stated over the phone that I wanted to order another batch of fabric and specified the colors. Why did you give all the fabric I wanted to John? This is unfair to me."

"Lin, I’m very disappointed in you."

Lin Xiang tried hard to calm the agitated Wilson, "Mr. Wilson, I can totally understand how you feel right now. But could you give me three minutes to explain?"

Wilson raised his chin, appearing lofty and superior, "I’ll give you the opportunity to explain."
