“We’re not dating, and I’ve been the one rejecting you, so I really can’t do anything. But you know what you’ve done to me. If you don’t make it up to me, I’m not leaving. I won’t date you, but I won’t let go either.” Yang Liling looked at Gu Ningzhi smugly.
Want to break up with her and start a new life? Dream on!
Only she could abandon him!
"So what do you want? Haven't you been refusing to give me an answer? Otherwise, you can come and marry me right now," Gu Ningzhi said.
Yang Liling quickly said, "Give me two hundred yuan, and I promise I'll disappear from your world and never come looking for you again."
She didn't want to marry Gu Ningzhi, and she didn't want to become a housewife. Look at the world now, how many families treat housewives well? Her in-laws look down on her, her husbands look down on her, and even her children don't like their housewife mothers.
She had witnessed what her mother had gone through, so naturally she wouldn't go down that path.
The wildflowers are always more fragrant than the flowers in the garden. Rather than having a man reject the flowers in the garden and seek out wildflowers outside, it's better to be a wildflower loved by everyone!
"Okay, but you have to give me a written guarantee first." He didn't want her to regret it after he married Feng Xintong and come back demanding to marry him instead.
He had asked her more than once, and it was she who repeatedly refused to date him. He even wondered if he had done something wrong, but later he realized that she was just using delaying tactics.
Yang Liling stood up and walked up to Gu Ningzhi, putting her arm around his shoulder and saying in an ambiguous tone, "Of course I can write a guarantee, but you have to leave me with a good memory first..."
It's only because Gu Ningzhi is young that Yang Liling can manipulate him so easily. Anyone who is older or more knowledgeable would be in a dream if Yang Liling tricked him, spent his money, and expected him to get away unscathed.
When Yang Liling came out of Gu Ningzhi's dormitory and passed through the parking lot, she saw a man leaning against another car and smoking not far from Gu Ningzhi's car. The man had a particularly good physique and looked stronger than Gu Ningzhi. He also had a rough and wild appearance, which looked really cool.
Having just lost one cash cow, Yang Liling wanted to find another one, so she went over and said, "Comrade, my cousin isn't feeling well and can't take me home. Could you please take me home? The place I'm going to isn't far from here, and I'll be there soon."
Fearing the other party might refuse, Yang Liling added with a smile, "I can pay."
She had just received two hundred yuan from Gu Ningzhi. She had plenty of money now, so she could use some of it for transportation costs.
“No need to pay.” The man looked at Yang Liling through the smoke rings.
"Really? Thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal sometime!" A meal at a state-run restaurant only costs a few yuan.
If we eat noodles, it only costs a few cents for two people, which she can afford.
"I want to eat a big meat bun," the man said.
“Okay.” Yang Liling readily agreed. She could afford to treat him to ten big meat buns, but she didn’t have meat coupons and needed to find a way to exchange them first.
The man opened the car door, helped Yang Liling into the car, and then got in himself. "Where do you live?"
"At the Harvest Brigade." The man hadn't finished smoking his cigarette, so as soon as he got in the car, Yang Liling smelled the smoke and pinched her nose uncomfortably.
The man didn't care whether she was used to the smell of smoke or not; he couldn't waste the cigarette in his hand. He didn't say anything until he finished the cigarette.
"Comrade, what's your name?" Yang Liling asked after the car started moving.
"Liu Zhigang," Liu Zhigang said.
"Comrade Liu, thank you for helping me today. When are you free? I'd like to treat you to some big meat buns from the state-run restaurant," Yang Liling said.
"I'm going on a trip soon and will be back in about two weeks. If you really want to treat me to big meat buns, then come find me at the transport team in two weeks!" The journey from the county town back to the Fengshou Brigade has taken up both her time and fuel, so she definitely wants to make up for it with a meal!
She's not his woman, why would he be so kind as to send her home?
“Okay, I’ll come see you in two weeks,” Yang Liling said with a smile.
In the bumpy carriage, Yang Liling became increasingly sleepy. After telling Liu Zhigang the route, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. When Yang Liling was woken up, the bus had already arrived near the Fengshou Brigade.
"Is it alright to send it here?" Liu Zhigang asked.
Yang Liling rubbed her eyes, looked out the window, and seeing that it was a familiar place, nodded. "This is enough, Comrade Liu, thank you."
"Don't forget to treat me to a big meat bun," Liu Zhigang reminded Yang Liling as she got out of the car.
Yang Liling turned around and waved to Liu Zhigang, appearing reluctant and weak, which easily aroused people's protective instincts, especially for a strong and healthy man like Liu Zhigang.
Gu Ningzhi had previously asked Feng Xintong to visit him every week. When the appointed time arrived, Feng Xintong went to the transportation team to find Gu Ningzhi. "Gu Ningzhi, you asked me to come at this time before, is it because there's been some progress on the job?"
"I found out that the furniture factory is looking to hire an office worker, but there's an exam required," Gu Ningzhi said.
"Really?" Feng Xintong was overjoyed to hear this.
“Yes, I’ll take you there to register now. Remember to come early on the day of the exam,” Gu Ningzhi said. “You live in Fengshou Brigade, which is too far away. You definitely won’t make it in time for the exam if you come early. Otherwise, you can come a day early and stay in my dormitory. That way, it won’t affect your exam.”
A blush flashed across Feng Xintong's face. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Gu Ningzhi held Feng Xintong's hand and said softly, "Why not? I like you, and I'm willing to let you stay in my dorm for a day."
"Thank you, let's go register now!" Feng Xintong said impatiently.
Gu Ningzhi took Feng Xintong to the furniture factory to register, but to their surprise, there was a long queue at the registration point, with some people standing in the scorching sun, showing how strong everyone's demand for work was.
Although Feng Xintong has a high level of education, she was unsure of herself given the large number of people taking the exam. She didn't know if she could pass.
"Feng Xintong, give me the things I need for registration. I'll wait in line here. Find a cool place to rest, and come over when it's my turn," Gu Ningzhi said.
"Gu Ningzhi, thank you." Feng Xintong was deeply moved. She hadn't expected Gu Ningzhi to be willing to help her like this. She handed over the things she needed for registration to Gu Ningzhi and quickly hid in a cool place.
Those girls who were exposed to the scorching sun all envied Feng Xintong for meeting such a good man.
