Chapter 2 Why are you being so pretentious?

The next day, Qin Zhang came to the office and found a note under his teacup.

It was Lu Mingze's handwriting: "Let's break up!"

Qin Zhang stood up suddenly and looked around but did not see Lu Mingze.

After crumpling the note and throwing it into the trash can, Qin Zhang came to Lu Mingze's office. Everyone else was busy except Lu Mingze.

He asked the person next to him, "Where is Engineer Lu?"

The other party was surprised and asked: "Director Qin, are you looking for Engineer Lu?"

"He asked for a few days off yesterday, saying he wanted to go back to visit his family. He wasn't busy during this time, so his boss approved it."

"Ask for leave to visit relatives?" Qin Zhang was surprised.

They slept in the same bed last night, how come he didn’t know that Lu Mingze had asked for leave?

She asked for leave without informing him and she wanted to break up with him?

Qin Zhang touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue.

Here, Lu Mingze returned to the village and just cleaned up his house when he heard a child outside shouting, "Brother Lu, your leader is here!"

When Lu Mingze walked out, he saw Qin Zhang driving the car that his father used in the factory over.

When he got off the bus, he threw a big bag of White Rabbit snacks to the children gathered around the bus: "Take it and eat it!"

The children took the candies and dispersed, and Qin Zhang walked up to Lu Mingze with his long legs.

"Why are you here?" Lu Mingze said expressionlessly.

"Why, I can't come?" Qin Zhang was unhappy: "Why did you suddenly ask for leave?"

"Go home to visit relatives!" Lu Mingze turned and went into the house.

Qin Zhang followed him into the mud house.

"You are an orphan, where did you get the relatives to visit you?"

Lu Mingze didn't want to pay attention to him: "It's not the first day you know that I grew up eating at other people's houses."

"If that's all you came here to say, you can leave now!"

"Heh!" Qin Zhang pulled over a chair that was about to fall apart and sat down: "You have a bad temper. Tell me, why do you want to break up with me this time?"

This is not the first time Lu Mingze has mentioned breaking up.

But every time he brought it up, Qin Zhang would take him to bed, and then the matter would be left unresolved.

However, Qin Zhang would always buy him gifts afterwards, and sometimes Lu Mingze even felt that Qin Zhang was like a pimp.

Lu Mingze glanced at Qin Zhang and said, "I don't want to be with you anymore. I'm tired of you. Is that okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brand new watch appeared in front of him.

Qin Zhang casually pulled his arm over, put the watch on his wrist, and admired it: "I have good taste. This style really looks good on you."

After that, she looked him in the eye and raised her eyebrows: "How is it? Do you like it?"

He looked the cool and handsome type he liked.

Lu Mingze had his eyes on this watch for a long time, but he didn't have enough money.

Originally he was a mechanical engineer in a cannery, and the salary the factory gave him was more than enough to support him.

But he would give a large portion of his salary to the village every month.

Until he had saved enough money, he would go to the department store whenever he had time.

However, his little trick had already been exposed in front of Qin Zhang.

Lu Mingze didn't understand why Qin Zhang was so considerate to him when he clearly already had another woman in his heart.

He took off the watch expressionlessly and stuffed it into Qin Zhang's hand: "I don't want it!"

Qin Zhang impatiently put it on him again: "You didn't take my things away when we broke up before, why are you being so pretentious?"

Lu Mingze was stunned: "Do you think I broke up with you just to ask you for something?"

Sensing his resistance, Qin Zhang held his wrist tightly to stop him from running away, but still forcefully put the watch on him: "What else?"

"Heh!" Lu Mingze never thought that Qin Zhang thought of him like this in his heart.

He pointed outside the door: "Get out!"

Qin Zhang didn't know what he was making a fuss about, and frowned: "What did you say?"

"I told you to get out!" Lu Mingze was so angry that his ribs ached.

He quickly took off his watch and threw it into Qin Zhang's arms, then pushed Qin Zhang out: "Get out, I don't want to see you!"

Qin Zhang was also angry now: "Lu Mingze, are you sick? I came here with good intentions to comfort you, why do you have such an attitude?"

Lu Mingze was too lazy to listen to what this bastard said. He pushed Qin Zhang out of the door and slammed it shut.

Qin Zhang's strong nose was almost hit by the door.

I can't understand why I ran here with all my might, but the result is like this.

When had he ever been treated like this?

"Okay, let me go!" Qin Zhang's eyes were cold, and he threw the watch to the door: "I'm going to go! Don't even think about me compromising with you again!"

After saying that, he walked to the front of the car, opened the door forcefully, got in, and started the car.

The car drove away quickly, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After hearing the sound of the car engine outside disappear, Lu Mingze opened the door and saw the dusty watch lying on the ground.

He picked it up and found that the watch was not broken.

It's true that he has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. He can just throw away things worth hundreds of dollars.

He pressed his ribs which were aching from anger and was about to go in, but he heard the engine of the car start again.

If it’s not Qin Zhang who has returned, then who else could it be?

Just right!

Lu Mingze walked over, and Qin Zhang's lips, which had been straightened just now, curled up slightly: "Get in the car, let's go back to the city together!"

Lu Mingze ignored him, threw the watch at him from the car window, turned around and went into the house and closed the door in one go.

Qin Zhang was really annoyed this time. After being rejected one after another, he no longer had the good mood he had just now.

This time he really left!

It was summer now, and Lu Mingze used chairs to make a simple recliner, then lay down on it, fanning himself in one hand and swaying slowly.

But these leisurely days did not last long.

When it was time for dinner, he was about to go to his neighbor's aunt's house for a meal, and Li Jianying rode her bicycle to his door.

This is his direct supervisor, and it was Li Jianying who approved his request for leave yesterday.

It was still hot in the evening. Li Jianying was sweating profusely. His blue factory uniform was soaked with sweat and his hair stuck to his forehead, making him look particularly funny.

Lu Mingze asked in surprise: "Director Li, why are you here?"

Li Jianying took a breath and said, "Xiao Lu, come back to the factory with me."

"This afternoon, three machines suddenly broke down. Without you, no one else can repair them."

Lu Mingze poured him a glass of water and said hesitantly, "I've asked for leave."

"Even if you take a leave, you can't delay production." Li Jianying took the water and drank it in big gulps: "Suddenly, an order came in, the quantity is not small, and the customer needs it urgently."

"This is our biggest order this month."

"I'm counting on this order to pay next month's salary."

Lu Mingze pursed his lips and said, "I remember Director Qin can repair it. Why don't you ask him to try?"

"Hey, Director Qin is in charge of sales. He just learned from you for two days. How can he really repair it?"

Li Jianying waved her hand: "I've already asked him for help, but he can't fix it."

"Besides, he has to go on a business trip tomorrow. How can he have time to think about it slowly?"

"Let's go!" Li Jianying said as she helped him carry the chair into the house: "I'll be back now."

Lu Mingze sighed: "Director, I'm still injured."

"Oh, your injury is nothing." Li Jianying didn't listen to him at all: "Once the machine is repaired, I will approve a few days of leave for you to rest."

There was no choice, Lu Mingze only came back for one day and then rode Li Jianying's bicycle back to the factory.

As soon as he walked into the factory, Lu Mingze passed by Qin Zhang.

The other person just glanced at him and got into the car with a disdainful smile on his lips.

Lu Mingze: "..."
