Chapter 172 Rumors
The county is discussing the steel plant building issue.
Before, when people mentioned the steel plant houses, they were all dismissive, saying that the place was remote and who would go there?
Many people really believed it and never went there.
It was said that only 70 sets were sold in the whole morning, and you could choose any set you wanted. By the afternoon, they were all sold out.
It was then rumored that the steel plant's hospital would be built nearby.
And they were going to build a primary school for the children of the steel plant, so everyone rushed to it.
There are schools, hospitals, and steel plant canteens, so half of the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are solved.
Besides, it was a three-story building. Many people have never lived in a building in their lives.
It is said that house prices have gone up now.
Several families in the bungalow area of the county were picking beans and talking about this.
You can make two hundred dollars by selling that house now, but you can't even buy this.
One of the elderly ladies, who looked mean, said, "Hey, a few days ago someone introduced my son to the girl who runs the canteen at the steel plant, but he didn't like her."
The person who said this was Chef Liu's aunt, and her son was Chef Liu's cousin.
At first, they embarrassed themselves at the steel mill and didn't tell anyone when they got home.
But when he heard that the steel plant was getting better and better, he felt a little jealous, so he boasted about having been on a blind date with someone.
His mother is also vain. She insists that her son looks down on other girls and uses other girls' reputation as a stepping stone for her son!
The neighbors said, "Your child has high standards."
Chef Liu's aunt was so immersed in her pride that she didn't even notice the pouting expression on someone else's face when they said this.
He introduced all the girls around to his son, but he kept picking one over the other.
If you don’t know, you might think there is a throne to inherit in the family?
There's a county clerk working in an office, and look how crazy they are about him. Even if he were given a fairy, they would still be picky.
"Hey, have you heard? Xiaoyu from Old Liu's family, the one your son went on a blind date with, is now pregnant with twins. Her mother-in-law is adoring her."
The neighbors on both sides couldn't stand their arrogant behavior and deliberately said things they didn't want to hear.
When we were going on a blind date, he said in front of her that she had a big nose and small eyes, which made her cry on the spot. It almost caused a fight between our two families.
If you don't like her, then you don't like her. Why make fun of her appearance in front of her?
Besides, the girl from Old Liu’s family is not what they say.
She is also a pretty girl.
The girl didn't want to get married because of the loss of her husband's reputation. Fortunately, someone introduced her to a reliable man. After three years of marriage, she gave birth to a boy as her first child, and now she has twins.
Better than her son!
These words hit her soft spot.
Older people all want to have grandchildren, but they haven’t found a son yet.
However, she bluffed, "My son's boss wants to introduce him to someone. Now, as long as there is one, it will be fine."
After all, men who work in offices are still a minority. With such a golden rice bowl, there is no problem finding a wife.
After picking the beans, the neighbors carried the basins back to their houses.
At noon, Chef Liu's cousin came back and was furious as soon as he entered the house.
His mother hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong? This thing doesn't work either?"
Chef Liu's cousin said, "Humph, I'm not good-looking, but you still pick on me because of my height. What a person." He was used to being arrogant.
In the past, he always chose the women, but this was the first time the woman chose him.
It immediately broke his defense.
"Mom tells you, these are just little tricks of girls. They use this method to attract your attention." His mother didn't believe that there could be any woman in this world who didn't love her son.
The mother and son scolded each other at home, and only stopped after they had vented their anger.
His mother said, "Or, you can just go with the kitchen girl. She's better off. If you're not happy with anything, just marry her and teach her later."
Chef Liu's cousin's face flushed crimson, as if he'd been stung by a scorpion. He didn't dare to talk about how he'd been rejected and ridiculed.
For the sake of face, I just said I don’t like it.
If his mother says anything more, he will get angry.
His mother had no idea that her son's fragile heart had been hurt several times, so she had to stop talking to avoid irritating her son.
Everyone is looking forward to the next blind date!
Who would have thought that, as if it were retribution, he was always picky about others during blind dates before, but now it is others who are picky about him.
He howled every day because of the weather.
The reason he did this was that He Zhengchen submitted an article to the county newspaper. He used to be the editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper and had strong writing skills.
I just made up a little story, praising this kind of person and belittling him, describing the men's blind dates like choosing a concubine and their conceitedness vividly. The manuscript was of high quality and was published in the newspaper on the spot!
Although he did not write his name, he clearly described the many blind dates he had gone on when he was 26 years old, as well as his facial features.
Anyone who knows Chef Liu’s cousin will immediately think of him!
Gossip travels the fastest.
So all the blind dates that followed were deliberately to see what kind of person he was.
He turned out to be a real toad, jumping up and down whenever he was poked. His fame was growing.
But I still don’t know where the problem lies.
He wasn't a very generous person to begin with, and being disdained like that made him even more mean-spirited. He mocked and argued with others in the office.
No one can stand him being like this every day as a man.
So a new person came to the office and kicked him to the security department.
Now he wasn't going to take it anymore. One was a white-collar worker sitting in an office, and the other was like a security guard. There was a huge difference in their status. He had made a fuss, and his mother had made a fuss too!
Not only did he fail to change his leader's mind, but he also made his leader completely hate him.
Such a person ended up going to the Security Department.
His reputation was ruined, his future was ruined, and now he couldn't find anyone.
His mother was so anxious that she asked people to introduce her to someone, but every time she was rejected by the matchmaker, with this reputation, who would dare to take his business?
He had offended everyone I had introduced to him before. Now I regret it. Bah, what was I thinking about earlier?
…
Shen Qingyue had no idea and was currently visiting He Zhengchen's garden house to play with Xiao Hei.
Shen Qingyue's family has a business and cooks, so she can't keep a dog.
Xiao Hei was given to her by He Zhengchen. He was currently being fostered in He Zhengchen's villa, which even had a special kennel for the puppies.
Xiao Hei likes Shen Qingyue very much. Whenever he sees her, he will automatically turn over his belly for her to touch.
The puppy feels fluffy, warm and super comfortable.
Shen Qingyue even brought some small strips of meat for it. The puppy chewed on them and ate them with great delight.
He Zhengchen watched from the side, petting the puppy from time to time. He felt extremely at ease.
Bringing Xiao Hei home was the best thing he had ever done. The puppy clung to Shen Qingyue every day. He always managed to make Shen Qingyue soften her heart, and then she would come to visit him with delicious food!
He Zhengchen also got the chance to bring Shen Qingyue to his home for a visit.
This place is beautifully decorated, it must be comfortable to live here.
Shen Qingyue asked: "Then won't you return to the province in the future?"
"No, I'm where home is."
