Chapter 383: A Reward of One Thousand Yuan
Xie Zheng never expected that Wang Shufen would come to him for help.
To be honest, he didn't feel much sympathy for Wang Shufen.
What's the use of getting anxious when problems arise if you don't educate and guide your own daughter earlier?
Even if you help someone like her, you might not get anything in return.
He spoke casually, "Aunt Wang, I've been very busy all day and haven't had time to go out with you. I'm not young anymore, I need to get back to creating and making money."
Upon hearing his words, Wang Shufen seemed to have misunderstood Xie Zheng's meaning and quickly said, "I didn't ask you to help for free. I will pay you."
She said, "You're basically my private investigator. You take me to meet Li Wei. I don't even know him if I go by myself."
Also, let's find out what's really going on between that guy named Li Wei and that so-called first love.
After listening to Bai Zhi's story last night and talking with Lu Ya, Wang Shufen felt very conflicted and that it was all very melodramatic.
I desperately want to know if that man is really that bad.
It's one thing to use her daughter's money to support herself, but to also support another woman is another matter entirely.
Seeing that Xie Zheng remained expressionless, Wang Shufen spoke boldly.
"I'll pay you a thousand dollars once this is over."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng's eyes flickered with interest.
One thousand yuan.
He has now signed with a record company, released a song, and earned some money.
Making a living is not a problem.
He's not short of money.
But he's a natural person who loves to join in the fun and listen to gossip.
My head is aching from writing songs these past few days.
I have absolutely no inspiration.
He was happy to take this opportunity to relax, not only to earn money but also to perhaps find some inspiration to continue creating.
Seeing that Xie Zheng's expression had softened, she pressed on to show her sincerity, "I'll pay you five hundred first."
Although Wang Shufen is currently just a housewife, her family owns a coal mining company, so she can learn some basic skills from what she sees and hears.
"Let's draw up a written agreement. I'll pay the balance after the deal is done. You should believe in my sincerity now, right?"
Seeing this, Xie Zheng reluctantly agreed, "Okay, but I'll make it clear that I only have three hours a day; I'll be busy the rest of the time."
He also warned Wang Shufen in advance, "Furthermore, if you are dissatisfied with my efforts later and cause me trouble, I will make a big fuss about your daughter's affairs and embarrass you."
Wang Shufen, "!!!"
Wang Shufen smiled apologetically and said, "How could that be? I'm more than grateful that you're helping me."
"Then let's make a deal."
So, Wang Shufen and Xie Zheng signed a written agreement, and Wang Shufen immediately paid Xie Zheng five hundred yuan.
She came to see Xie Zheng today prepared.
She had heard that Xie Zheng was getting medicine and medical treatment on credit from Bai Zhi. He didn't have a proper job and was living off his parents, so he must be short of money.
Xie Zheng generously accepted the money and asked, "Shall we set off now?"
Wang Shufen responded, "I've already found out where Li Wei works. Do you know anyone there?"
Xie Zheng thought for a moment and said, "No need to find acquaintances. Just wait until they get off work and we can find them."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two left the factory around the time the workers were about to close for the day.
Xie Zheng also considerately handed Wang Shufen a pair of his sunglasses.
Wang Shufen said, "I've never seen him before, and he doesn't know me."
Xie Zheng smiled and said, "Just because you don't know him doesn't mean he doesn't know you."
While Wang Shufen was waiting in line for treatment at Jishengtang, Li Wei and Lu Ya met frequently. Wang Shufen was in the open, while Li Wei was in the shadows. It's likely that Li Wei had already met his future mother-in-law.
Xie Zheng rode his motorcycle, intending to take Wang Shufen to the machinery factory.
Before getting on the motorcycle, Xie Zheng looked Wang Shufen up and down to make sure, "Is your leg okay? Can you ride on it? I won't be responsible if you fall."
Wang Shufen was extremely confident: "Don't worry, I've recovered very well now, and I can ride a motorcycle without any problem."
Wang Shufen got on the motorcycle, Xie Zheng started the engine, and they arrived at the gate of the machinery factory in twenty minutes.
"There's still half an hour until he gets off work. Are you sure he's here?" Xie Zheng asked her.
Wang Shufen nodded, "Lu Ya said he works here, on all day shifts, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"Then let's wait a bit."
Xie Zheng, wearing sunglasses, strolled around the neighborhood. His fashionable outfit and handsome face attracted the attention of the women on the roadside who frequently stopped to stare at him.
As it was time to leave work, workers gradually came out.
Some people walked, and some rode bicycles.
Wang Shufen nervously followed Xie Zheng, keeping a close eye on the workers in their work clothes.
She worriedly said, "They're all wearing the same clothes, how will anyone recognize them?"
Xie Zheng chuckled, "Don't worry, your son-in-law has a unique temperament, standing out from the crowd. You can recognize him at a glance."
Xie Zheng's words made Wang Shufen feel really embarrassed.
This doesn't sound like a nice thing.
She said angrily, "That's not my son-in-law. I will never acknowledge him as my son-in-law. The purpose of what I did was to keep Lu Ya away from him."
"At least for now."
As the two were talking, Xie Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared intently at them.
"Did you see that?" Wang Shufen asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
Xie Zheng pointed in the direction of the machinery factory entrance, "Isn't that it? The coolest one."
Judging from the size of the factory, it's not very big and there aren't many workers. The fact that they were able to hire someone like Li Wei shows that they are short-staffed and poorly managed.
Following his gaze, Wang Shufen saw an extremely conspicuous figure.
With messy, neck-length hair, wearing a red jacket and jeans, hands in his pockets, he walked forward with his head down, looking completely out of place in the cold weather.
Wang Shufen looked at Xie Zheng in disbelief, "Him?"
Xie Zheng shrugged. "Yes, it's him."
"Handsome, isn't he?" Xie Zheng asked Wang Shufen with a half-smile.
Wang Shufen, "!!!"
Xie Zheng said, "I'll go up and strike up a conversation; he knows me."
On their way here, Xie Zheng had already devised a strategy.
It can quickly expose a person's true nature.
Wang Shufen nodded, "Okay, I'll wait here."
She stood in the corner.
Xie Zheng walked over with a nonchalant gait.
Wang Shufen stood there watching, and she felt that this hoodlum was actually trying to imitate Xie Zheng's type of temperament.
Unfortunately, his own temperament and physical attributes are really too poor, and no matter how good the clothes are, they don't look good on him.
His gait was weird, and his eyes looked like a thief's.
He was leaving the factory at the normal time after get off work, but the way he looked around seemed like he was about to steal someone's life.
You can tell at a glance that he has something to hide.
