Chapter 209 Su Li mustered up the courage to ask
When Zhang Zhicheng heard that the person Zhao Xinran knew was so powerful, his attitude instantly improved a lot.
"Yes, I was assigned there right after I graduated."
"Do you know Fu Jinzhou?"
Hearing the name "Fu Jinzhou," Zhang Zhicheng was even more surprised. "I know him. I was busy with Section Chief Fu in the workshop all day yesterday."
Zhao Xinran pursed her lips calmly, successfully attracting Lin Wanyi's attention.
Although Lin Wanyi also greeted her these days, it was only for Song Jiaxuan's sake.
She wanted to use Song Jiaxuan's love to climb up the ladder, but she was afraid that Lin Wanyi would be hostile to her.
It would be best if I could have the opportunity to win her over.
Now appears to be a good opportunity.
"Is he... is he okay?"
"Oh, Chief Fu is very nice. He has been working with Teacher Su on the manuals for the German equipment these days."
Zhang Zhicheng didn't know about Lin Wanyi and Fu Jinzhou, so he answered truthfully when she asked.
"Teacher Su!"
"Su Li?"
Lin Wanyi and Zhao Xinran blurted out.
"Yes, I was surprised too. I didn't expect that Mr. Su's German was quite good."
Lin Wanyi's face suddenly turned pale.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"Su Li... German translation..."
She murmured, her voice trembling as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
She thought that Fu Jinzhou and Su Li at least had no contact with each other.
She thought that these two years were enough for Fu Jinzhou to forget the past.
But now, Zhang Zhicheng's words were like a loud slap in her face.
They were actually translating the manuals for German equipment together at the Qixian Cement Plant?
A single man and a single woman, living together day and night...
Lin Wanyi's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, causing her to feel so painful that she could hardly breathe.
A strong sense of jealousy and anger spread wildly in her heart like a poisonous snake.
She turned around abruptly and left the ballroom without looking back.
Zhao Xinran looked at Lin Wanyi's departing back, a smug sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
She turned her head and looked at Zhang Zhicheng who was still standing there in a daze, and her tone softened a lot.
"Zhicheng, don't get me wrong, I really have nothing to do with those people."
There was a hint of grievance in her voice and her eyes were pitiful.
"I just want to make more money so we can live a good life in the future. Besides, everyone who comes here is powerful. If you really can't stay here in the future, I might be able to help you find a job."
Zhang Zhicheng looked at her, and although his eyes were complicated, there was no doubt that the last sentence attracted him.
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Zhao Xinran gently took his hand and spoke in a gentle tone.
"I swear, I will never do anything to let you down."
Her eyes were sincere, as if she wanted to take her heart out and show it to him.
Zhang Zhicheng's heart softened again.
"Then... protect yourself."
He sighed and compromised helplessly.
Zhao Xinran nodded, "Don't worry, this is a dance hall, just a place for dancing. Sister Wanyi said that this kind of place has long been popular abroad."
She gently pushed Zhang Zhicheng and said, "You should go back first. This place is not suitable for you. We are here to make money, not spend it."
Although Zhang Zhicheng felt uncomfortable, he still nodded.
"Be careful," he warned.
"Yes, I will."
Zhao Xinran responded obediently.
Zhang Zhicheng looked at her, his eyes gradually becoming gentle.
"I'll wait for you at your house and chat with my aunt."
He turned and left the ballroom.
Zhao Xinran looked at his back and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
She turned and walked deeper into the ballroom.
Song Jiaxuan, she can't let go yet.
But she can't abandon Zhang Zhicheng for the time being.
He's in Qi County, maybe he can be useful.
Zhao Xinran's eyes flickered as he thought about something.
…
Cement factory dormitory.
Kang Ping returned to Pingjiang, and Fu Jinzhou had to deal with the injury on his back by himself.
Su Li was worried and went to his dormitory again.
The room was filled with a faint smell of medicine.
Fu Jinzhou was sitting on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked.
Su Li took the cotton swab and gently wiped the skin around his wound.
She moved very gently, afraid of hurting him.
"Does it still hurt?"
She asked softly.
Fu Jinzhou shook his head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
His voice was low and a little hoarse.
The room was very quiet, with only the gentle breathing sounds of the two people.
The atmosphere, just like the night before, was a little subtle.
Su Li's heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
Her fingers pressed gently on Fu Jinzhou's back.
But it once again caused an indescribable emotion to surge in Fu Jinzhou's heart.
It reminded him of the shimmering pink lips from the night before, and his chest inexplicably began to feel hot.
"Su Li..."
He called softly.
Su Li's hand paused slightly.
She stared at Fu Jinzhou's strong back, her heart beating faster.
"Okay, put on your clothes."
Su Li put away the ointment, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed herself down.
Fu Jinzhou put on his clothes and slowly turned around. "Let's go outside. It's hot inside, and it's cooler outside."
Su Li nodded, "Okay!"
The small space will only make things more awkward, so it’s better to go out and cool down!
"Come on, I'll take you to a place where you can enjoy the fresh air and see the stars."
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Su Li followed him out.
The cement factory is backed by a mountain. There is a small path behind the factory that leads to a large platform two stories high with a wide view.
Because the light was not very good, Fu Jinzhou held out his hand and said, "I'll hold your hand and walk with you."
"I can do it myself."
Su Li refused instinctively.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Fu Jinzhou grabbed her hand and walked forward without saying a word.
It was the first time that Su Li was held by him like this, and they felt sweat on both of their palms.
It wasn’t a far distance and I reached the top in just a few minutes.
Unlike below, it's really windy here.
The cool breeze made me feel much more comfortable instantly.
"Come, sit here and rest."
Fu Jinzhou still held her hand tightly until they sat down, and then Su Li pulled her hand away.
Looking at the starry sky and feeling the refreshing breeze, this moment is pleasant.
After a long silence, Su Li mustered up the courage to ask when she saw Fu Jinzhou turning around to look at her.
"Fu Jinzhou, why did you... give up medicine and go into politics?"
She never understood why he made such a choice.
Fu Jinzhou's eyes dimmed slightly.
"for……"
He paused and didn't say anything else.
Su Li looked at him, her eyes full of confusion.
"Have you decided to marry Lin Wanyi?"
She finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.
Fu Jinzhou's body stiffened slightly.
He didn't answer, just looked at her in silence.
His silence made Su Li's heart sink a little bit.
He had already accepted his family's interference in his work, obviously because of Grandpa Fu.
How could Fu Jinzhou bear to let the old man have regrets about his lifelong promise, let alone let him bear the stigma of being ungrateful.
In fact, she can understand.
Just thinking about him marrying Lin Wanyi made her feel bitter, spreading in her heart.
Her previous rejection made her feel ridiculous, and now she felt like a clown who couldn't let go.
Since he has already made a choice, I can't be so confused.
Su Li smiled and said, "Fu Jinzhou, I still say the same thing, I wish you happiness!"
"Su Li!"
Fu Jinzhou suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
