Yu Junsheng was reborn and realized he was a stepping stone that glowed...

Chapter 202 Zheng Haiyang begs for forgiveness but gets slapped instead

Chapter 202 Zheng Haiyang begs for forgiveness but gets slapped instead

Seeing Director Wang walking further and further away, his figure almost disappearing at the gate, I had a feeling that if I didn't do something, I would be abandoned or even hated by Director Wang.

Zheng Haiyang hurriedly chased after him.

"Director Wang, Director Wang! Please let me explain!"

If we just let Director Wang leave in a huff, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?

He sacrificed his virtue for nothing, not only gaining nothing but also offending Director Wang, a high-ranking leader. His life at the factory might even be worse than before.

Zheng Haiyang will not allow this to happen!

Grit your teeth and take two steps at a time.

Zheng Haiyang is tall and has long legs; one step of his body is equivalent to two steps of Director Wang's short legs, and he caught up with him in no time.

"Director Wang, wait! Wait for me!"

Wang Jianguo ignored him and continued walking briskly forward as if he hadn't heard him.

He just wanted to escape this family compound that had brought him so much shame!

Zheng Haiyang cursed inwardly, but could only follow behind him, explaining repeatedly: "Director Wang, please believe me, I absolutely did not say those nonsensical things! Those two people and I don't get along well; in fact, we have some grudges. They deliberately framed me to make you dislike me, and they said those things on purpose!"

She kept rambling on: "You've always known how much I respect you, so how could you say such blasphemous things? Those two are just jealous of me and are deliberately getting back at me. You mustn't be fooled by them!"

Wang Jianguo stopped and stood still.

Zheng Haiyang was secretly delighted and was about to say a few more bad things about Cheng Jiajia and the others to prove his innocence.

It was completely unexpected.

"Smack!"

Wang Jianguo slapped Zheng Haiyang hard across the face, causing his left cheek to swell up rapidly. Combined with Zheng Haiyang's incredulous gaze, it looked especially ridiculous.

Wang Jianguo, still not satisfied, slapped him hard on the right cheek again.

His face was full of anger, and he spat, "Do you think I'm a fool who can be toyed with and humiliated by you?!"

"You think you have a bad relationship and want retaliation?!"

"Do you think I believe you or not?"

Don't think you're the only smart ones!

Wang Jianguo poked Zheng Haiyang's forehead again and again with his short, fat fingers.

"Let me tell you, I, Wang Jianguo, have lived for decades and have never suffered such humiliation! You and your friend, you just wait!"

Zheng Haiyang lowered his head, feeling utterly humiliated, yet he dared not move an inch.

After venting his anger and making some harsh remarks, Wang Jianguo left.

Zheng Haiyang was left alone, humiliated and disheveled, feeling utterly helpless.

It’s over!

He just got back to the security office not long ago, is he going to have to clean the toilets again?

-----------------

Over here, Zheng Haiyang is alone, weak, desperate, and helpless.

Meanwhile, the courtyard on the other side was bustling with activity.

Everyone surrounded Yu Junsheng, asking him what he meant by what he had just said.

Previously, the rumors about Zheng Haiyang and Director Wang mainly circulated among the factory workers, and not many people in the family compound knew about them.

After Yu Junsheng's actions, almost all the neighbors in the courtyard knew about it.

"Junsheng, what did you mean by that just now? Did Zheng Haiyang really sell himself to someone?"

The neighbors were stunned into silence by Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng's coordinated performance.

Only after Zheng Haiyang left did they dare to ask.

They actually had a vague suspicion in their hearts, but they still wanted to confirm it.

"Really?"

Their eyes gleamed with gossip.

Yu Junsheng saw it clearly, but he deliberately acted as if he had something difficult to say, hesitating to speak, yet still wanting to speak.

"I can't say that this is bad for the ocean."

Everyone perked up, "Wow, there really is one!"

He then rebuked Yu Junsheng: "Hey you, what are you doing? Treating us like outsiders, that's not fair! We've been neighbors for so many years, what can't we talk about! We promise we won't tell anyone!"

In the end, Yu Junsheng couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.

He mumbled something:

"It means exactly what everyone is thinking."

"Oh my god, it really is!"

Some of the men didn't understand and even asked, "What do you mean?"

An older woman said dismissively, "It's just... you know, selling hooks!"

"...!!!"

The expression on the man's face, Zhu Ziqiang's, face was very complicated.

It was so complex that Yu Junsheng couldn't decipher it in a short time.

By this point, everyone could probably guess why Zheng Haiyang had suddenly resumed work recently.

However... everyone clicked their tongues, "This is too much of a sacrifice for a job."

That's right. To become the male lover of a short, bald, lecherous old man who looks like a toad for a job is something not just anyone would do.

Just then, someone suddenly asked, "Junsheng, I remember you two don't get along with Zheng Haiyang, and that guy seems to have quite a background. You two are really bold to point your fingers at him and curse him. Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against?"

Yu Junsheng raised an eyebrow; finally, someone had asked the right question.

He still had that same warm-hearted expression. "Of course I'm scared. But even if I'm scared, I have to speak up. After all, we grew up together and have been neighbors for so many years. I can't just watch Haiyang get bullied like this, right?"

He waved his hand dismissively, "Besides, regarding my relationship with Zheng Haiyang, in the face of such a major event, we, as a family, must unite as one and stand together against external threats. What are those little conflicts we have every day?"

“That’s right. Although we have some minor conflicts from time to time, we live in the same compound after all, so we should stick together when necessary. But speaking of which, Junsheng is a really magnanimous kid. Aunt Chang used to cause him and his wife a lot of trouble, but he can still forgive and forget. He’s a good guy!”

"That's right, I might not be able to do it myself."

"Junsheng has always been a good kid. Anyone who said he was petty before was really blind!" This is Aunt Zou's opinion of Yu Junsheng, which is based on a biased view.

The neighbors praised Yu Junsheng for his righteousness, calling him a kind and enthusiastic young man who was able to stand up for his neighbors despite past grievances and fearlessness in the face of power.

Yu Junsheng proudly raised his head, "Of course!"

He is a kind-hearted young man who doesn't hold grudges, always helps those in need, and is willing to go to great lengths for his neighbors.

Cheng Jiajia almost vomited blood from trying to suppress her laughter while watching Yu Junsheng's performance.

This person is getting more and more malicious!

They've become increasingly shameless.

No one knows the truth of this better than the three of them.

Zheng Haiyang would be furious if he heard that.

As the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

Just then, Zheng Haiyang returned with a face that was swollen and red.

And coincidentally, I overheard Yu Junsheng's shameless words in their entirety.
