Chapter 7 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
Back at the garden villa, Aunt Zhao had already prepared a large table full of dishes, all of which were Lin Youyou's favorite flavors, including seafood that couldn't be found in inland cities.
Lin Youyou was completely satisfied with just one meal, and she forgot all about the unpleasant little incident from earlier.
"Mom, is it true that you said you could help me apply to the University of Hong Kong?"
"Of course, as long as you want to go, Mommy can arrange it for you."
"But Mom just came back, and I want to stay with you for a while longer. Can I go when I turn 18?"
Seeing Lin Youyou's teary eyes, Si Yan put down her chopsticks and looked at Lin Youyou with a serious expression.
“Youyou, arrange things however you want. Mom has been absent from your life for six years. I’m back this time to be by your side, so don’t have any worries. Do what you think is right.”
"Well, I see."
Lin Youyou replied, her voice choked with emotion, that this was the first time she had truly felt how wonderful it was to have a mother.
Si Yan chuckled and gently patted her head.
[Ding! The target's favorability has reached 90%. Please keep up the good work!]
Perhaps it was because the maternal love that Lin Youyou had fantasized about for so many years had finally come true, and was even better than she had imagined.
Her happiness level rose rapidly.
After finishing their meal, Si Yan and Lin Youyou headed to the company.
After watching Lin Youyou go to the publicity office, Si Yan went to Deputy Factory Director Yan's office.
"Deputy Factory Director Yan, did a group of reporters from the provincial newspaper arrive around noon?"
"Yes, Director Si, I have already arranged for you to be in the conference room at the front. Please come with me."
As soon as Si Yan entered, the provincial team members' eyes lit up; after all, they had been waiting for more than an hour.
"Minister Zhang, I'm sorry, today is the first day I've reunited with my daughter, so it's inevitable that it took a little longer than expected. Please forgive me."
"no, I'm fine."
"Director Si, we understand, it's only natural. But is it convenient now?"
"Okay, everyone, please sit here."
Si Yan stepped forward, reached out and pulled out a chair, gesturing for everyone to sit down.
"Director Si, I heard that you returned to China this time because of your daughter, is that right?"
"Yes, because of my career, I have missed six years of my daughter's life. I came back this time to make it up to her."
Si Yan said with a smile, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
"Okay, then why did you choose to return to Anxian County to serve as the factory manager of the machinery factory? With your net worth, you could easily have brought your daughter to live in Hong Kong."
"One reason is that the most important person to me is in Anxian County, and another reason is that I studied mechanical engineering before and have several patents. Since the country needed them, I returned to Anxian County."
"Director Si is truly a model of patriotic businessmen nationwide. There are still a few questions..."
The interview lasted for more than an hour. After returning home, the staff of the provincial newspaper worked overtime to lay out the page, and the interview with Si Yan was featured on the homepage.
The next day, when the newspaper went on sale, Si Yan became famous, causing a nationwide sensation. This was the first time a businessman had donated 50 million to the country. In an era when the average wage was less than 50, wasn't this earth-shattering news?
Lin Youyou also became famous in An County, because her mother was Si Yan, a very wealthy woman.
Yang Wen, a graduate of Anxian No. 1 Middle School, saw the news and, recalling the gossip he had recently heard about Lin Youyou, quickly contacted his former classmates.
"This is incredible, Monkey! A truly remarkable person is about to emerge from our old class."
"Who is it, Yang Wen? Are you still asleep? Out of more than 300 people in our year, only a dozen or so went on to university. What kind of big shots could possibly come out of us?"
Yang Wen was afraid the monkey wouldn't believe him, so he showed him the newspaper in his hand.
"Look, see the headline? The businesswoman with the surname Si in it, do you know whose mother she is?"
"I don't know, how could this tycoon from Hong Kong have any connection with the people around us? Yang Wen, don't dream."
"Hey, haven't you heard? Lin Youyou, the former class beauty, has had her biological mother come back to find her. Apparently, her mother's name is Si Yan."
The monkey was incredibly surprised to find the tycoon right beside it.
"Wow, Lin Youyou's family is going to be rich now! Hey, do you think we should contact her?"
"Let me think about it, I've got it."
“I heard some of them say they wanted to hold a high school class reunion. Why don’t we get everyone together soon? I believe that once everyone knows that Lin Youyou’s mother is Si Yan, they will probably all come.”
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go back and tell Wang Jun and the others."
Lin Youyou's classmates are trying to contact her, and Si Yan's extended family members are also preparing to come knocking on her door.
However, because Si Yan lost her parents at a young age, these relatives not only failed to take care of her, but also took advantage of her misfortune. If it weren't for the village chief's family's care, the original owner would not have had the opportunity to marry Lin Jianjun.
Considering the care the village chief had shown to the original owner of this body, Si Yan gave Si Family Village 10 worker positions, but required that they be junior high school graduates, with 5 males and 5 females.
Upon hearing this incredible news, the entire Sijia Village was in an uproar.
Aunt Liu at the village entrance had already started chatting with her best friend.
"Did you know? Si Yan, the orphan from the end of our village, is now a very wealthy woman and the manager of a machinery factory. I heard she gave our village 10 job openings."
"Really? Then I'd better get to the village chief's house early to queue up. My son Yaozu is graduating this year, and I'm worried about his job."
Just as I arrived at the village chief's house, a sharp female voice rang out.
"Fine, village chief, I'm not leaving until you give me an explanation today."
"Why can't my Xiaolong sign up? I'm Siyan's aunt."
“Yeah, yeah, why are we, Si Yan’s legitimate relatives, not eligible, while those who have absolutely no connection to the Si family can apply?”
The woman speaking was named Si Yinyin. At that moment, everyone around her was glaring angrily at the village chief's family. The atmosphere was so tense that a fight was about to break out.
Just then, the roar of a car engine came from outside.
