Chapter 136 Because of Love

Qin Zhang had arranged everything. When Lu Mingze landed, Lin Zhiyuan sent a driver to pick him up and take him back to the factory.

After returning to the factory, I heard that Jiang Cheng had already gone back.

At the end of the year, not only Qin Zhang is busy, but Lu Mingze is also busy.

Various reports need to be filled out, and an annual summary must also be written.

Just two days after returning, Lu Mingze received a call from Jiang Cheng.

Knowing that Jiang Cheng was fine, Lu Mingze felt relieved and let him spend a good New Year at home.

When Jiang Cheng was not around, Lin Zhiyuan was like a frost-bitten eggplant, except when he could barely muster up energy at work.

Then, Lu Mingze was targeted by Lin Zhiyuan.

Anyway, this wasn’t the first time that Lin Zhiyuan had targeted him, so Lu Mingze faced it calmly.

Do what you can do, and leave what you can’t do alone.

He was too lazy to offend Lin Zhiyuan, since he was the leader.

Considering his leader's broken heart, Lu Mingze didn't bother with this man.

That day, when Lu Mingze came back from a phone call with Qin Zhang, he saw Lin Zhiyuan waiting for him at the door of his dormitory.

He walked over and opened the door. Lin Zhiyuan didn't ask him, but walked into the room as if no one was around and asked him, "How is Jiang Cheng these days?"

Lu Mingze poured some water in front of Lin Zhiyuan: "It's good, the family is harmonious and the life is happy."

"I heard that they are already preparing for a blind date."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan clenched his fists and stared at him fiercely.

Lu Mingze took a step back: "Don't take your anger out on me."

"I'm not your punching bag."

"If you dare to touch me, I will lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. It depends on whether you can afford to pay."

Lin Zhiyuan was so angry that he kicked the stool next to him.

Lu Mingze: "You have to pay for it even if it's broken."

Lin Zhiyuan: "..."

After a while, Lin Zhiyuan asked, "Why did you choose to be with Qin Zhang again?"

Lu Mingze: "Because of love?"

Lin Zhiyuan: "..."

"You guys are all together, why can't I?"

Lu Mingze: "Don't expect Jiang Cheng to have the courage like Qin Zhang to fight against his parents and relatives for you."

"Unless you want to kill him."

"I am alone, unlike Jiang Cheng."

Lin Zhiyuan understood the truth, but when he saw Lu Mingze so happy, he felt unbalanced.

At the moment, Lin Zhiyuan had completely lost his previous gentle and easy-going demeanor.

"It's a busy year end, Mr. Lu should focus more on his work and stop thinking about hanging out with his partner."

Lin Zhiyuan gave Lu Mingze a cold look: "After all, the year-end assessment affects Lu Gong's year-end bonus."

This is a blatant threat.

Lu Mingze stopped pretending and pointed at the door and said, "Get lost!"

Lin Zhiyuan snorted heavily and went out.

As soon as he went out, Lu Mingze poured out a cup of water. The water mixed with the soil on the ground to form mud spots, which splashed on Lin Zhiyuan's trouser legs.

Lin Zhiyuan glared at him.

He spread his hands: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Lin Zhiyuan was furious.

But there was nothing we could do about him.

Even if he is given a hard time, he is not afraid.

After receiving so many small insults, Lin Zhiyuan began to despise himself.

This period of time is like being sick.

Lu Mingze's ambition of setting up a stall was ultimately not realized, and he was so busy that he stayed busy until the day the factory was due to close for a holiday.

The sick Lin Zhiyuan asked the finance department to give Lu Mingze an extra bonus.

Lu Mingze was happy.

It’s not in vain that we have been targeted for such a long time.

Most of the employees in the factory are locals.

So on the day of the holiday, everyone took their money and went home or rested.

Lu Mingze originally wanted to pack up and go back to the house. The New Year was coming soon, and he was living with Qin Zhang this year, so he wanted to decorate the house.

There were lights and decorations outside, and all kinds of New Year goods were being sold. The department store was packed.

Looking at the people coming and going, I feel a little scared.

Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder.

Lu Mingze turned around and saw that it was Xu Xinping.

"It's really you, Engineer Lu." Xu Xinping said with a smile.

Lu Mingze was surprised: "You didn't go home?"

Xu Xinping is from another place and goes home to celebrate the New Year every year.

Xu Xinping sighed: "Yes, I have a train ticket for tomorrow night. I was thinking of coming here today to bring some New Year's goods back home."

"Looking at this situation, I'm a little afraid to squeeze in."

When there are too many people, they are easily targeted by thieves.

These days there are many people who want to get something for nothing.

Lu Mingze agreed: "Indeed."

Xu Xinping asked: "Mr. Lu is not going back to his hometown this year?"

Lu Mingze hummed, and Xu Xinping put his hand on his shoulder: "Comrade Jiang Cheng is not here this year, so won't you be alone for the New Year, Mr. Lu?"

"Since you gave me a share of my commission earlier, I'll treat you to a meal so we can celebrate the New Year in advance. How about that?"

Lu Mingze wanted to refuse, but Xu Xinping dragged him into a restaurant without saying anything.

"When I leave tomorrow, we will meet again next year."

Xu Xinping said with a smile.

"I have always wanted to thank Mr. Lu for his help."

"We finally found an opportunity today. Let's drink later."

Then he called the waiter and ordered food and wine.

Lu Mingze thought about it and agreed, so he didn't refuse.

During the meal, Xu Xinping kept urging Lu Mingze to drink.

Lu Mingze sensed something was wrong: "Are you worried about something?"

Xu Xinping's eyes flashed with something strange, and he shook his head and said, "No."

"I just think that another year has passed. I feel like life is too dull."

Lu Mingze laughed: "Your calmness is something others can't even imagine."

"Mr. Xu earns quite a lot."

Xu Xinping smiled and said nothing.

Under Xu Xinping's warm hospitality, Lu Mingze, who didn't drink much, ended up drinking a lot.

Until his vision became a little blurry, he said, "Let's leave it at that for today."

Xu Xinping asked him without hesitation: "Engineer Lu, have you ever offended anyone outside?"

Lu Mingze thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, why do you ask?"

"How could I offend someone outside?"

Xu Xinping smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Lu has a good personality. Everyone in the factory has a good impression of you."

"How could I offend someone outside?"

"It's me who's offended."

Lu Mingze was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Xinping immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and laughed, "Oh, no, it wasn't me, I said it wrong, I was drunk."

He stood up shakily and said, "Come on, Engineer Lu, let's go back to the factory."

Lu Mingze also stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he felt a dizziness in front of his eyes and his whole body was shaky.

He quickly stood up and grabbed the corner of the table.

I shook my head and the world was spinning in front of my eyes.

This feeling is not good.

"Engineer Lu... Engineer Lu..." I heard Xu Xinping's distant voice.

When Lu Mingze looked over, he saw that Xu Xinping's face had become blurry.

Then everything went dark before his eyes and Lu Mingze fell to the ground.

Xu Xinping, who was still dizzy just now, suddenly became clear-headed, held him, gritted his teeth and said, "Engineer Lu, I can't do anything about it, don't blame me."
