Chapter 28 Wei Laicheng, the one who was betrayed
In his previous life, Chen Wenli's arrogance offended many distributors, leading to their financial difficulties.
In order to make a comeback and to support the Chen family, who were like bloodsuckers, she once lived in a chaotic slum.
The place was a melting pot of all sorts of people, with numerous gangs vying for power. As an ordinary person, she could only try her best to avoid these troubles.
But at any time, outstanding looks are a sin, especially in that place.
By chance, she caught the eye of the second-in-command of a second-rate gang.
Can you imagine waking up to find your room filled with burly gangsters covered in tattoos and smirking?
Jiang Xixi had experienced such a scene.
After managing to escape, she sought help from Chen Wenli, who allowed her to live with the Chen family.
Although the Chen family lived in a very poor area, at least the people living there were all normal.
Ironically, even though Jiang Xixi paid the rent, the Chen family, whom she supported, refused to lend a helping hand. They first refused her on the grounds that there were only two rooms available and Jiang Xixi wouldn't be able to stay there.
After Jiang Xixi indicated that she could sleep on the floor, Chen Wenli finally revealed the truth. She still remembers what Chen Wenli and his group said back then.
"Jiang Xixi, isn't it enough that you've gotten yourself into big trouble? Do you have to drag our whole family down with you? How can you be so selfish? Go die and don't drag us down with you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xixi was first stunned, and then her anger burst forth from her chest.
You fucking eat your own food and live your own house, how dare you say such a thing?
Fortunately, she finally stood her ground for a moment and moved in despite the objections of the Chen family, thus averting a major disaster.
The recollection ends.
...
Moving is indeed a huge undertaking. Jiang Xixi had already taken a lot of things from the Jiang family, and with Mrs. Jiang adding things to her from time to time during this period, the amount of stuff was enormous.
But what could she do? This was all her teacher's wife's love for her. What else could she do but accept it?
What a sweet burden!
But by evening, after putting everything back in its place, I still felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Especially with the dim, warm lighting, the whole scene felt very cozy.
When Wei Laicheng came in, this was the scene he saw.
His young wife, with her long hair flowing down her back, gazed tenderly at their little nest. It is said that a beautiful woman looks more beautiful under the lamplight, and his wife was already beautiful to begin with.
When Jiang Xixi turned around, she saw Wei Laicheng standing behind her with a lovesick look on his face.
"My God, you can scare people to death, you know that? What are you standing there for?"
Jiang Xixi patted her chest to calm herself down from the shock she had just experienced.
"Wife, you are so beautiful. I suddenly feel like I'm not good enough for you."
Wei Laicheng's expression was extremely sincere.
Huh? Ah? Oh!
Although I know there's an exaggeration in that statement, it's undeniable that no woman can resist being praised for her beauty.
Jiang Xixi was no exception.
She covered her mouth and laughed, then reached out her hand directly towards Wei Laicheng's cheek.
She lightly brushed her hand across his cheek, gave a charming smile, and her eyes seemed to be drawing silk.
"Hey handsome, I think you're pretty good-looking too!"
The young couple had a very pleasant night on their first night in their new home.
...
"Director Jiang, the chief engineer is calling for you in his office."
Jiang Zheng had just stepped through the door, humming a song, when he was informed.
"The chief engineer called me? Didn't you hear him call me? What does he want?"
Upon hearing this, the person who notified him looked at him with great sympathy, but still did not reveal anything, only mentioning it indirectly.
"It seems to be related to your apprentice."
Is this related to Lai Cheng? Jiang Zheng was a little puzzled. Lai Cheng had just returned from a trip and hadn't been with the transport team for a while. What was he up to?
Although he still didn't understand, Jiang Zheng expressed his gratitude to the person who notified him.
Jiang Zheng walked toward the chief engineer's office, completely bewildered.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Please come in!"
"Chief Engineer, you wanted to see me?"
When Jiang Zheng entered the office, he discovered that there was more than just the chief engineer there; Deputy Director Han, with whom he had always been at odds, was also present.
"Chief Engineer, is there anything else? I'll come back later."
"Jiang Zheng, wait a moment. We can only discuss this matter if you and Director Han are both here. Please have a seat."
Master Jiang had a bad feeling. Could it be that Wei Laicheng, that bastard, had been caught red-handed by Han Cheng, that treacherous villain?
Sure enough, what the chief engineer said next directly confirmed his guess.
"Jiang Zheng, are you aware that your apprentice, Wei Laicheng, frequently uses his position to engage in trade with the public while on duty?"
The chief engineer looked very serious. In this era, trade was often referred to as undermining socialism.
"Chief Engineer, I can guarantee that my apprentice would never do such a thing. If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason."
Chief Engineer, who said this? I demand that my apprentice confront him face to face.
Jiang Zheng knew that Wei Laicheng did indeed frequently resell some items when he went to other places to transport goods.
But at this point, he certainly couldn't admit it. Based on his understanding of his apprentice, he figured someone was probably trying to scam him.
"Jiang Zheng, can you vouch for your apprentice? Let me give you a heads-up: someone has provided me with solid evidence."
If we find out you're protecting your apprentice, the consequences will be very serious!
The chief engineer was also quite annoyed. As a leader of the transportation team, who didn't know Jiang Zheng's identity?
Han Cheng is always looking for trouble; he's gotten himself into this mess.
Hearing the chief engineer's tone, Jiang Zheng became even more certain that he was being tricked!
Jiang Zheng's tone became increasingly resolute.
"Yes, I can guarantee that my apprentice would never be someone who undermines socialism."
"Jiang Zheng, you're putting on quite a show. If I didn't have solid evidence, I would have been fooled by you." Han Cheng panicked when he saw that his mortal enemy was refusing to admit it.
"If you have evidence, then show it. Why are you saying so much?"
As expected, it was Han Cheng, that mortal enemy, causing trouble. Jiang Zheng kept complaining to himself, "How old are you? You're still doing this kind of scheming and backstabbing every day. Aren't you afraid your brain will stop working?"
"Hmph, do you really think I have no evidence? I reminded you earlier because we've been colleagues for so many years, and I wanted to give you a chance to make amends. Since you're so stubborn, then I'll grant your wish."
"Chief Engineer, you can call my witnesses over now."
"Knock knock knock~" After a long while, there was a knock on the door of the chief engineer's office. Jiang Zheng immediately sat up straight and glanced at the door without blinking.
He wanted to see who was backstabbing his apprentice all day long.
"Why is it you?"
Jiang Zheng sat up straight and exclaimed in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Han Cheng, who was standing nearby, couldn't suppress his smile; his dream of becoming a director was about to come true.
