Liu Mei, who had been a little weird just now, now had a few red clouds on her face: "This... then why didn't you say it earlier?"

hehe.

Zhang Wangming sneered in his heart.

This woman is so easy to fool.

Liu Mei thought she was not stupid. When Zhang Wangming was bewitched by her beauty at the beginning, she deliberately took advantage of this liking to order Zhang Wangming to do this and that.

They even treated him like a donkey that was lured with sweet treats.

Zhang Wangming tolerated Liu Mei in the past because it was rare to see beautiful women in this remote and poor place.

After all, Zhang Wangming and Liu Mei each have their own agenda.

But now, Zhang Wangming has long been tired of tasting this dish of willow plum.

He has a bright future in his hands, and it is time to kick out Liu Mei, this burden.

"I thought you could feel what I was thinking," Zhang Wangming lowered his head for a long time and sighed softly, "Books say that fate plays tricks on people, and I think I have experienced it. Never mind, it's just that we are not destined to be together. It just so happens that my parents at home need my care. If we meet again in the future, we can still be friends."

After saying this, Zhang Wangming was afraid that he could not hide the nausea and disgust in his eyes, so he pretended to be sad, turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Mei stayed where she was, staring at his back and thinking for a long time.

This is another good piece of fat meat, but it’s a pity that I didn’t pay more attention to it before.

But it doesn’t matter. I’ve given him a lot of sweet things before. At worst, I can give him some more sweet things to try.

At this moment, Liu Mei had a new plan in her mind. She looked up at Zhang Wangming's receding back, thoughtfully.

If only Zhang Wangming was willing to marry me, a piece of paper of marriage could take me away from here.

She was really fed up with life in Xiangjia Village. She hated the gossips here, and even more so, Xiang Baiwei, who grew up in the countryside but had an outstanding appearance.

That night, Liu Mei bought some meat dishes from outside, took the gifts she had carefully prepared, and went to find Zhang Wangming.

Seeing her coming, Zhang Wangming forced himself to suppress his displeasure: "It seems that I am lucky today. I can actually see you come to see me in person."

Liu Mei was very satisfied with Zhang Wangming's reaction, but she still felt a little uneasy: "Do we still need to say these polite words to each other?"

"You have to say the proper words," Zhang Wangming pulled the table apart and placed the food on it. Then he thought for a moment, took out some candies from under the pillow beside him, and stuffed them into Liu Mei's pockets. "You don't have to do these things. Leave them to me. You sit next to me and eat the candies. I'll take care of it quickly."

After all the dishes were placed on the plates, Zhang Wangming looked at the overly sumptuous table and felt that Liu Mei must have spent a lot of money today.

At the same time, he roughly guessed the real purpose of Liu Mei's visit today.

I guess that after the other party learned that I had a job in the city, he would be greedy and want to climb up the ladder with me.

It's good to come. Anyway, you won't be the one who suffers.

Just play with her as a pastime.

Zhang Wangming took out a bottle of Erguotou from the cabinet next to him: "I have kept this wine for two years, but I have never been willing to drink it. It just so happens that you are here today, so let's drink it?"

Liu Mei, who didn't want to drink, hesitated: "Isn't this a bad idea? We all have classes tomorrow morning. I can't drink much. If I get drunk, it will affect my classes tomorrow and I'll be scolded by the dean."

Some time ago, Liu Meigang was scolded three times by the director.

It was because she always heard rumors about herself in the village that affected her work performance.

Judging from what the director said, if a similar situation happens again, Liu Mei might lose her job.

I can't lose this teaching job at the moment.

"Well, I thought this was a farewell banquet you prepared for me, and I was thinking of having a good drink and not going home until I was drunk, but you still have to work. It seems that I can't drink this wine to my heart's content today. But it doesn't matter, I will drink by myself, and you can just bring me some boiled water." Zhang Wangming did not take the opportunity to make any requests.

He knew Liu Mei's character very well.

Now that he had the benefits that Liu Mei wanted, the tactic of retreating in order to advance would be enough to deal with her.

"You should drink less. One glass is enough." Liu Mei snatched the bottle away with a coquettish tone, "I'm afraid you won't want to chat with me after you get drunk. You can drink the rest of the wine with your friends later."

"Aren't you my friend?" Zhang Wangming looked at her with a smile.

Liu Mei tilted her head, her eyes moving: "Then in your eyes, what am I to you?"

Zhang Wangming took the opportunity to grab her hand: "What do you think?"

The two people looked straight at each other, with calm scrutiny and consideration beneath their affectionate thoughts.

After a while, Liu Mei gently pushed Zhang Wangming's shoulder and said, "You are so unruly."

"You hit me really hard." Zhang Wangming rubbed his shoulders, half pretending to do so. After a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me for a while. When I'm stable over there, I'll come pick you up. How about that?"

When Liu Mei heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was worth it for her to go out of her way to find Zhang Wangming, and she finally heard what she wanted to hear.

Liu Mei was very satisfied. She lowered her eyelashes slightly, pretended to be shy, and tried to change the subject calmly for a long time.

She couldn't give a definite response now, as that would make her seem too anxious, and Zhang Wangming would also become wary because of her anxiety.

Seeing that Liu Mei didn't answer, Zhang Wangming understood.

As he guessed, Liu Mei was a person who could keep calm for the sake of interests.

With real benefits right in front of him, he can still sit still.

What a pity, I had already seen through her.

…

On Sunday, Jiang Sui rode his bike to the Second Machinery Factory early in the morning. Before leaving, he specifically asked Xiang Shuzhi to go to his home to review his homework and protect Xiang Baiwei at the same time.

Arriving at the factory, Jiang Sui waited patiently until about ten o'clock in the morning. After finishing all his work, he went to the workshop at the back to find the workshop director who was said to have the widest network of contacts.

Jiang Sui took out the cigarette he had specially prepared and lit it for the workshop director respectfully and politely.

The workshop director knew that he had something to ask for, so he took the cigarette without hesitation and chatted with Jiang Sui.

After a while, Jiang Sui looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late. Why don't we have lunch together?"

"How can I do that? Your sister-in-law brought me food. She made it specially this morning. It would be such a waste if I don't eat it!"

"My sister-in-law made it. You can take it home to eat." Jiang Sui pulled him out without saying anything. "I heard that a better chef has come to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Restaurant. Shall we go over and try him?"

The workshop director followed him to the hotel reluctantly.

After two glasses of wine, Jiang Sui looked at the workshop director with an embarrassed look on his face: "Director Wang, everyone says that you have the widest network of contacts and are the best at making friends. I have something to ask..."
