Chapter 269 Entangled and Unresolved

Shen Zhixia completely ignored Su Qiang. Su Qiang also realized that Shen Zhixia's approach was completely blocked. Just as he was about to leave, a man of similar age came out and couldn't help but mock him, "Isn't this Su Qiang? I heard you've been fired. Why are you in the factory? The factory manager said that you're no longer welcome here."

Su Qiang frowned and sneered, "Chen Gang, don't be so smug. Who knows, I might be back any day now."

Chen Gang is his mortal enemy. The two used to be colleagues, but because they were responsible for the same things, they were basically fighting each other openly and secretly. After so many years of fighting, Su Qiang still has a slight advantage.

As a result, the person who was most pleased with Su Qiang's expulsion was Chen Gang. He had been hoping for Su Qiang's expulsion day and night, and he never expected that his wish would actually come true.

As expected, he was the one who had the last laugh.

Chen Gang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Su Qiang, Su Qiang, you've been so smart all your life, how could you be so foolish for once? You still want to come back? Don't even think about it. Let me tell you, you can't come back, because this position is already mine."

Su Qiang was startled: "What did you say?"

He had considered that his position might be replaced by Chen Gang, but it couldn't be that soon. After all, his job was very complicated, and it wasn't something anyone could take over immediately.

Chen Gang said, "You left behind a lot of messes that need to be cleaned up. I personally recommended myself to the factory, and the factory director is very satisfied with me."

He looked down at Su Qiang and said, "Now that I'm in this position, there's nothing for you to do. Don't even think about coming back to work, and I won't allow you to come back."

Su Qiang remained silent, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

Chen Gang was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He knew Chen Gang was right.

He really has no way to go back to work.

Did he just give up like that?

The current situation is not good, and jobs are hard to find. Even if he goes to look for work elsewhere, the pay won't be very good, so he's definitely not willing to accept that.

Su Qiang was in a terrible mood. He couldn't just give up like that. The next day, he went to see the factory manager again. This time, he deliberately avoided Chen Gang. But Chen Gang was really persistent. He actually saw Chen Gang's back again. He wanted to go around him, but he saw a familiar figure.

It's Huang Lu.

Huang Lu was dressed in a flamboyant manner. She carried a lunchbox and eagerly handed it to Chen Gang, her eyes full of flattery: "This is braised pork that I made myself. My family all say that my braised pork is delicious. Please try it."

Chen Gang chuckled lightly. He didn't take the lunchbox, but instead patted Huang Lu's face and said, "Your braised pork must be delicious. I want to eat it every day."

Huang Lu said, "Then I'll make it for you every day."

Su Qiang: "?"

He and Huang Lu have known each other for so long, but he's always the one cooking for her. Huang Lu has never cooked, let alone let him touch her face.

Huang Lu was very reserved in front of him; she would even refuse if he tried to hold her hand.

He took it as her being shy and never forced her to do anything.

As a result, she was only reserved in front of him, but so open in front of other men.

He's so angry!

Su Qiang stared at him, his eyes already filled with resentment.

Thanks to her, he ended up in this predicament, but Huang Lu turned around and threw herself into someone else's arms. He felt so disgusted he wanted to vomit blood.

Su Qiang ultimately did not see the factory director. The factory director rarely came to the factory, and whether or not he met him was entirely up to fate. The reason the factory director came to the factory a few days ago was to find Shen Zhixia. He wanted to deal with his nephew's matter. Now that everything was settled, he naturally did not need to come.

He was disappointed again and felt terrible. Just then, he overheard some workers gossiping: "Huang Lu is really something. She's back with Chen Gang. It's said that Chen Gang has promised her that he can let her go back to work at the factory. How can she be so lucky? She was fired by the factory manager, but she still has someone backing her up."

What?

Su Qiang clenched his fist.

He searched everywhere for the factory manager but couldn't find him. It seemed hopeless for him to be dismissed. Huang Lu, on the other hand, had found a backer and could continue working at the factory.

He really couldn't swallow this insult.

On what grounds?

He was clearly harmed by Huang Lu. Since he couldn't go to work, neither could Huang Lu. The two of them should be bound together tightly and rot away together. It's absolutely impossible for Huang Lu to carry him and go back to the factory alone.

Over the years, although he and Huang Lu have never officially defined their relationship, Huang Lu has only had one man by her side, at least on the surface. He has been pursuing Huang Lu, having meals with her, and buying her many gifts. In his eyes, Huang Lu is already his woman.

She couldn't wait to throw herself into the arms of other men; that was blatant betrayal.

He wouldn't allow it.

Therefore, Su Qiang waited on the road that Huang Lu was bound to take.

Huang Lu was in a good mood today. She went to see Chen Gang, who promised to help her. The thought that she could continue working in the factory gave her hope for the future.

"Huang Lu!"

Upon seeing her, Su Qiang immediately rushed over. Meeting Huang Lu's disgusted gaze, he said bluntly, "You betrayed me! I saw you go to see Chen Gang. You know we don't get along, so why did you go to him?"

Huang Lu felt annoyed just looking at him: "Su Qiang, are you sick? You're nobody to me, why should you care who I go to? It's none of your business who I go to."

Su Qiang remained silent, staring intently at Huang Lu, his gaze gradually becoming somewhat abnormal.

Huang Lu was still somewhat afraid of him.

In Huang Lu's eyes, Su Qiang was just a sycophant. He used to have some position and a little power, but he was not good-looking and was not young. Huang Lu looked down on him, but she felt that he had some value to her, so she kept him hanging on.

Su Qiang was quite generous to her, buying her many clothes and snacks, which she accepted without a second thought. After all, she was pretty, so what was wrong with accepting a few things?

Huang Lu still felt guilty. She knew that she had said a lot to Su Qiang about the incident, so it was a result of their joint actions.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Anyway, we've both gotten our comeuppance now, so I guess I'm just unlucky. We don't need to see each other again."

Su Qiang sneered, "What? So you're discarding me without hesitation now that I'm no longer of any use to you?"

Does this mean he still wants to pester her?
