The next day, Zhu Xiangxiang accompanied Chen Liren to the County FAW. Originally, Section Chief Xiao Wang was supposed to receive them, but Zhu Xiangxiang insisted on meeting Zhu Youliang and Liang Yuan. Since she was Zhu Youliang's niece, Section Chief Xiao Wang consulted with Zhu Youliang.
Zhu Youliang was drawing a design at the time, and when he heard this he just said "no see you".
Wang Xing didn't tell Zhu Xiangxiang that, simply saying that Zhu Youliang simply couldn't spare the time. When he explained that ordering motorcycles required a queue, which wouldn't be until March of next year, Zhu Xiangxiang again insisted on seeing Zhu Youliang. This time, he ignored her and let her fuss. No matter what she said, he had only two words: out of stock.
Zhu Xiangxiang refused to give in. She accused Wang Xing of deceiving his superiors and concealing the truth from his subordinates, and then said that she would report him to the police and have him removed when she saw her sixth uncle and aunt.
As they were arguing, Liang Yuan suddenly walked in. When Zhu Xiangxiang saw Liang Yuan coming in, she immediately went over to her, took her arm, pointed at Wang Xing and said, "Get rid of him."
Liang Yuan looked at her with amusement, not knowing what kind of power she was relying on.
Seeing that she didn't say anything and just stared at her, Zhu Xiangxiang lowered her head feeling guilty.
Liang Yuan said that she had indeed misunderstood Wang Xing. The factory's production capacity was limited now, and the motorcycles currently produced had to be exported first. The contract had been signed and it could not be changed.
Chen Liren was somewhat disappointed. He had originally planned to bring a batch of motorcycles to Shenzhen before the Lunar New Year to sell, hoping to make a fortune during the holiday. But he had money but couldn't buy anything. However, after test-driving the FAW motorcycle yesterday, he was even more optimistic about it. He didn't want to stymie the relationship, so he exchanged a few polite words but didn't mention pre-ordering. He planned to come back tomorrow with the money.
Zhu Xiangxiang was a little afraid of Liang Yuan, so knowing Wang Xing wasn't behind it, she immediately followed him. As soon as she left the factory, she apologized to Chen Liren, regretting she hadn't been able to help him.
Perhaps because he had just seen Zhu Xiangxiang throwing a tantrum, Chen Liren inexplicably lost interest in Zhu Xiangxiang, so he only said a few perfunctory words and did not send Zhu Xiangxiang back. He drove back to the guesthouse by himself.
Zhu Xiangxiang wasn't stupid; she knew she was being rejected, but who was she doing it for? She'd been pampered and raised by her family, and only became a nanny because her cousin told her it would lead to a rich marriage. She met Chen Liren because the woman of her previous home suspected she was having an affair with the man and kicked her out. Chen Liren happened to be visiting the neighborhood that day and, feeling sorry for her, offered her a helping hand, introducing her to a job as a nanny for an elderly woman he knew. The elderly woman lived by the sea, making it a long walk to get groceries, and since the family had an old car, she learned to drive. Because Chen Liren found her a job, taught her how to drive, and treated her so generously, she assumed he was interested. Liu Dan had previously advised her not to get too attached to Chen Liren, but she hadn't taken it seriously, figuring she was from a wealthy family and hadn't been a mistress like Liu Dan, so how could she be unworthy of a rich man? Seeing Chen Liren like this, she felt sad, upset and hateful. She hated her sixth uncle and aunt for not giving her any face, otherwise why would she have thrown a tantrum and been looked down upon.
After arriving home, Song Hehua was at work and it was difficult for her to go to the factory, so she complained to Zhu Youtian. Who knew that this only caused Zhu Youtian to scold her, and she cried again in grievance. She even refused to go to her former friends who came to visit her. Thinking that her new employer didn't like her, she thought about what to do after the New Year. In order to ask for leave to come back, she had basically torn her face with the employer, and going back was impossible. If she wanted to go back, she would have to ask her cousin for help. She thought to herself that although her family was much better off now than before, it was still far behind those wealthy families in Shenzhen. With this in mind, she ran to the brigade headquarters, thinking about calling Liu Dan and asking her to find her another job.
Liu Dan wasn't surprised at her call; she'd expected her little cousin to come back. She wasn't desperate to help Zhu Xiangxiang, but she'd actually never liked her since childhood. It was simply because Zhu Xiangxiang's family was less well-off than hers, yet she lived a much better life. That's why she sometimes felt jealous, envious of her having a loving family. She was trying to pull her up because she wanted her to fall into the same pit with her. So, after mocking Zhu Xiangxiang, she finally agreed to her request.
After receiving a satisfactory response, Zhu Xiangxiang finally felt less sad. She hadn't been unaware that a relationship with Chen Liren was impossible, and now she was even somewhat thankful that she had held to her bottom line. With this thought in mind, she happily walked back into the house.
Zhu Youtian had been wondering if he'd said something too harsh, making the grown-up child cry. Seeing her happily return, he felt a bit bewildered and a bit worried. He didn't know what to say, so he decided to wait for Song Hehua to come back that evening and tell her about it. With that thought in mind, he went to take care of the rabbits.
Zhu Xingtong, however, had originally planned to stay in the countryside for a few days before heading to the county FAW factory to help out. Suddenly, her spiritual power experienced a breakthrough, prompting her to consider cultivating in the countryside. However, she didn't have any clothes with her, so she decided to return to the city to get some, leaving her motorcycle behind for her parents to drive.
Just as she pushed the bicycle out of the yard, she saw Xue Yang walking back from a distance with a dejected look on his face. She thought for a moment, then pushed the bicycle over and asked, "What's going on?"
"Huh? Nothing. Where are you going?"
"Back to the countryside."
"oh."
"Really nothing?"
Xue Yang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"
"Let's talk under the shade of the tree."
As soon as they reached the wall, Xue Yang said, "Xia You asked me out today."
"Um?"
"I feel like she's kind of pursuing me. I'm not being sentimental, this is the truth. But before, I was secretly watching her, and then she suddenly turned around and saw me, and I..."
"Not used to it?"
"A little bit, but more of a feeling that it's unbelievable. I feel like she doesn't like me, but her behavior shows that she has a good impression of me."
"So do you still like her?"
"Yes, a little."
"I really can't help you in this regard." Zhu Xingtong sighed. She had no worries in this regard at all. Her world was very simple.
"I know, I just want to find someone to talk to." Xue Yang nodded.
"Okay, you think about it yourself. I'm leaving now." After saying that, Zhu Xingtong got on his bike and left.
Xue Yang stayed there for a while before walking home. When he looked up, he saw his own son standing upstairs and smiling at him.
"Mom, did you misunderstand something?" Xue Yang asked hurriedly after going up.
"Son, we can't have two relationships at the same time. If you want me to choose, I will choose Atong, the provincial top scholar." Mother Xue whispered.
Xue Yang said with a helpless smile: "Mom, what are you thinking? Atong has a partner, and it's not me."
Mother Xue said with regret, "Is that so? Tang You is not bad either, but I heard her mother is a bit patriarchal. You should keep a close eye on the money from now on and don't let her take all the money to her parents' home."
"Mom, stop talking. There's no hope at all." Xue Yang hurriedly pulled his mother into the house.
