Gu Ningzhi felt that Feng Xintong was much easier to talk to than Wang Xinru, and her attitude towards him was not as cold and hard, so he still had a lot of hope with her.
"Comrade Gu, I just saw Comrade Yang sitting in front. Is Comrade Yang your girlfriend?" Shao Qiaoyun asked curiously.
Gu Ningzhi shook his head, neither confirming nor denying, leaving much to the imagination. Most people would assume he meant no when they saw him shake his head, and Shao Qiaoyun thought so too. Since they weren't in a romantic relationship, could she do something about it?
In short, she had absolutely no desire to farm in the countryside.
After Gu Ningzhi got into the car, Yang Liling said unhappily, "Why did you let the two of them ride with you?"
"Since it's on the way, let them ride together. Besides, you live together, this will bring you closer. Maybe they'll help you in the future?" Gu Ningzhi said, then started the car and drove away.
Upon arriving in the town, Gu Ningzhi specifically went to the back to ask Shao Qiaoyun and Feng Xintong whether they wanted to stroll around the town or go to the county town. For him, going to the county town was just a matter of stepping on the gas.
After thinking for a while, Feng Xintong decided to go to the county town because the clothes in the town's supply and marketing cooperative were ugly in color and style and did not suit her temperament at all. So she wanted to go to the department store in the county town.
Seeing that Feng Xintong wanted to go to the county town, Gu Ningzhi stepped on the gas and went to the county town.
Inside the supply and marketing cooperative, watching Gu Ningzhi pay Yang Liling without batting an eye, Shao Qiaoyun whispered to Feng Xintong, "Feng Xintong, do you think Gu Ningzhi is pursuing Yang Liling? I didn't expect him to be so generous when he's pursuing her. I know many men aren't this generous to their wives even after marriage. If they buy her a piece of clothing, people will say she's a spendthrift and doesn't care about her family, etc."
Feng Xintong couldn't help but glance at Gu Ningzhi again. A man who spends so generously must have good financial conditions; otherwise, he simply couldn't afford such spending.
Considering he's a truck driver with a high income, he could afford such a level of consumption.
Feng Xintong hummed in agreement and said softly, "Then you should find someone who is generous to you in the future. If you don't know if he is generous to you, just bring him to the department store and see if he is willing to buy you things."
Shao Qiaoyun glanced at Gu Ningzhi, a hint of anticipation rising in her heart. She couldn't really blame her for being materialistic; how many people would be willing to stay in the countryside doing farm work forever?
Even girls from the countryside want to marry into the city. What kind of life they lead in the future is the result of their own choices, so they must make the right choice.
Afterwards, everyone went to a state-run restaurant for dinner. Gu Ningzhi said to Shao Qiaoyun and Feng Xintong, "You two order the dishes you want to eat and then come and eat with us."
"Thank you," Shao Qiaoyun and Feng Xintong said simultaneously.
Yang Liling had no intention of marrying Gu Ningzhi, so she didn't care at all about Gu Ningzhi taking care of other female comrades. She was someone who valued benefits, not people.
You can't see into someone's heart; people are the most unreliable things in the world.
Shao Qiaoyun and Feng Xintong each ordered one dish, while Gu Ningzhi ordered three dishes, making a total of five dishes for the four of them, which was more sumptuous than most people's New Year's Eve dinner.
Shao Qiaoyun and Feng Xintong ate several more dishes with them and were in a good mood.
While eating, Gu Ningzhi asked, "Would you like to stroll around the county town a bit more later?"
Shao Qiaoyun looked up at Gu Ningzhi, "We've never been to the county town before, so we don't know where to go for fun!"
Feng Xintong was a little embarrassed, "Is it okay? Will it bother you?"
"It's okay, we have a car, it's convenient." Gu Ningzhi smiled and shook his head. He finally understood the difference between being with someone he liked and someone he didn't like.
Seeing Feng Xintong made him very excited, and he wanted to keep an eye on her every move.
When he was with Yang Liling, he felt completely at peace.
After the meal, the four of them left together. Gu Ningzhi took them for a walk in the park, and then took them to the cinema. There were other people watching the movie at that time, so they couldn't get tickets for seats together. It was better not to have tickets for seats together, because Gu Ningzhi didn't want to sit with Yang Liling.
The four people's seats were scattered, and none of them knew which seat the other was in. However, since Gu Ningzhi bought the tickets, she naturally knew everyone's seats.
When the movie started, the theater was dimly lit and nothing could be seen clearly. Gu Ningzhi quietly went to Feng Xintong's side, grabbed a handful of candy, switched seats with the woman next to her, and then sat down next to Feng Xintong.
Feng Xintong was watching a movie when she suddenly felt something being stuffed into her hand. She squeezed it and it felt like a White Rabbit candy.
"Comrade Feng Xintong, there are still several tens of minutes left in this movie. Would you like to go for a walk with me?" Gu Ningzhi invited.
Feng Xintong had seen this movie before, back in her hometown. Since Gu Ningzhi said that, it meant he wanted to invite her out. Considering that she hadn't bought the movie ticket and it wasn't her money that was being wasted, Feng Xintong accepted Gu Ningzhi's invitation and got up to leave.
About a minute after Feng Xintong left, Gu Ningzhi got up and went out.
After that, the two of them walked together toward the park. Nowadays, there's nothing to see or do in the park; only couples have the leisure to wander around aimlessly on Gongguan Road.
The two walked around for a while and found a pavilion to sit down. Gu Ningzhi saw someone selling soda, so he went over and bought two bottles. When he came back, he handed one of the bottles to Feng Xintong and then gave Feng Xintong his office number. "Comrade Feng Xintong, if you ever need any help in the future, just call me or come to my office. I will definitely help you if I can."
Feng Xintong smiled and said, "Thank you, Comrade Gu. I never expected you to be such a kind person."
"Just call me Gu Ningzhi from now on. We've eaten together and watched movies together, so we're friends. Calling me Comrade Gu is too formal," Gu Ningzhi said with a smile.
“Okay, Gu Ningzhi, I’ve decided to be your friend.” Feng Xintong said with a smile.
She understands the saying that you rely on your parents at home and on your friends when you're out in the world. She naturally cherishes and makes good use of the connections she has made with her good friends.
She didn't want to work hard farming in the countryside, but she had no choice. She could only wait until she was more familiar with the area and ask Gu Ningzhi to help her find out if there were any jobs available. If she could find a job, she could work in the city. Although it wouldn't be her hometown, working in the city would still be a good thing.
