The next morning, Wei Zhu submitted her resignation. Her boss didn't make things difficult for her, only telling her to stay until the new employee started working. If the new employee didn't start working within a month, she could leave after a month.
After writing her resignation letter, Wei Zhu felt a little melancholy, but also much more relaxed, and work no longer seemed so boring.
"I heard you resigned?" At lunchtime in the cafeteria, a handsome young man sat down opposite Wei Zhu and asked with a slight frown.
Wei Zhu was a little surprised by his question, because the two of them were not very familiar with each other and she didn't understand why he was so concerned.
But out of consideration for their professional relationship, Wei Zhu nodded and asked, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the benefits at our factory are pretty good. I didn't expect you to quit so close to the end of the year. After all, everyone wants to get a little extra pay for the next two months to go home for the New Year. Can I ask why you're quitting?"
"Jing Jun, aren't you being a bit too nosy?" Yue Ting sat down next to Wei Zhu with the soup in her hand. Usually, the two of them would cooperate when eating, one getting the rice and the other getting the soup, so as not to interfere with their lunch break.
Jing Jun wasn't angry at her questioning. He just looked at Wei Zhu and said, "I was recruited by Wei Zhu, and we're from the same hometown. What's wrong with showing a little concern?"
"What fellow townsman? You're not even from the same county." Unlike Wei Zhu, Yue Ting wasn't oblivious. She had seen through Jing Jun's intentions long ago. Because she felt that Jing Jun wasn't good enough for Wei Zhu, and Wei Zhu didn't react, she hadn't pointed it out.
"Just because we're from the same city doesn't mean we're not from the same hometown? Yue Ting, why are you always so sarcastic? I haven't offended you, have I?"
Yue Ting rolled her eyes. Seeing that people around them were looking at them, she didn't say anything more. Anyway, Wei Zhu was about to leave, and Jing Jun wouldn't be able to bother her.
"Wei Zhu, are you planning to go back to your hometown after resigning?" Jing Jun said, taking out his phone. "Let's add each other as friends. After all, we're colleagues and fellow townsmen. I have a relative in your county who I visit every year for the New Year. I'll come over for dinner then."
Wei Zhu was actually reluctant to join, not because she understood Jing Jun's intentions, but because she found it troublesome. After resigning, she would definitely have to study hard. If Jing Jun came to find her, wouldn't she have to waste time dealing with him? And what if her mother found out that she was secretly playing around?
Normally, Wei Zhu would never have had the courage to refuse, but this time, she was determined to change her life by taking advantage of her mother's change of mind.
"I'm sorry, Jing Jun, I don't know if I'll be able to go home this year."
Jing Jun was taken aback, his eyes showing some surprise. He hadn't expected Wei Zhu to reject him. He thought Wei Zhu's gentle and soft personality would be easy to manipulate.
"But I've already taken out my phone, everyone's watching. It's okay if you don't come out to play, just give me face and don't embarrass me in front of my colleagues, okay?"
Yue Ting felt uncomfortable upon hearing this. What was this if not moral blackmail? You came here yourself, you feel ashamed, why should others pay for your mistakes?
But Wei Zhu had already softened and took out her phone: "Okay then."
Jing Jun watched Wei Zhu add him as a friend and then put his phone back in his pocket with satisfaction: "Wei Zhu, if you're not going home, where are you planning to go after you quit your job?"
"Aren't you asking too many questions?" Yue Ting always felt that Jing Jun wouldn't give up so easily. Of course, if she were a man, and in this factory, Wei Zhu would definitely be her first target. But Wei Zhu clearly had better options. If the two of them were really together, Jing Jun would have Wei Zhu completely under his control. She didn't want to see that happen.
"Yue Ting, you're being too nosy when I'm talking to Wei Zhu." Normally, Jing Jun would definitely keep quiet and not say anything harsh to Wei Zhu's friend, taking things slowly. But seeing that Wei Zhu is about to leave, if he doesn't make a move, he probably won't have another chance in the future.
After questioning me, she asked in surprise, "You don't like me, do you? That's why you've been preventing me from getting close to Wei Zhu."
"I like you?" Yue Ting laughed in exasperation. "Jing Jun, please don't insult me."
"I insulted someone? You were the one who kept trying to start conversations with me and interrupting my conversation with Wei Zhu. What else could you be but someone with ulterior motives?" Jing Jun seized the opportunity to retaliate. Anyway, Wei Zhu was leaving soon, and he would definitely see Yue Ting less and less in the future, or even lose contact with her, so offending her didn't matter.
Moreover, without a friend as opinionated as Yue Ting, Wei Zhu might be easier to control.
"Jing Jun, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're not good enough for Wei Zhu at all." Yue Ting wasn't one to be trifled with either. Since Jing Jun had spread rumors about her, she wouldn't hold back.
Her voice was so loud that everyone around them turned to look at them. Jing Jun's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and Wei Zhu was startled.
Seeing her strong reaction, Jing Jun quickly composed himself and looked at her and Yue Ting as if to make amends: "I do have feelings for Wei Zhu, is that wrong? Yue Ting, I've only been here for three months and I've already been promoted to team leader. Am I really that unworthy? Although I may not be as well-educated as Wei Zhu, when have I not completed my work diligently? Does having a lower level of education mean I'm not worthy of pursuing true love?"
Yue Ting was speechless after his questioning. If she got any more agitated, it would seem as if she looked down on ordinary workers. She just felt that Jing Jun was too cunning and not suitable for someone as simple-minded and stubborn as Wei Zhu.
Wei Zhu was also surprised that Jing Jun actually liked her. If it had been before yesterday, she might have seriously considered it, because Jing Jun was excellent in their factory in terms of both appearance and physique, and he was also ambitious. He was better than the blind date arranged by her family. However, after agreeing to her mother's plan last night, she did not want to be in a relationship for the time being.
Moreover, she didn't like the people pursuing her being aggressive towards her good friend Yue Ting. Jing Jun's sudden change of expression just now really frightened her.
"Jing Jun, I apologize on behalf of Tingting for what she said to you earlier. She absolutely did not mean to look down on you. It was because I told her before that I was not considering having a boyfriend for the time being that she said that. I am very grateful for your affection, but I think we probably won't be able to see each other again in the future."
As she spoke, Wei Zhu was about to get up and pull Yue Ting away. Seeing that she refused so decisively, Yue Ting seemed to have gotten a sense of relief.
But now that she has offended Jing Jun, given his current connections in the factory, will he make things difficult for her in the future? Maybe she should just quit her job too. Anyway, she still has some savings, so she can move next to the night school. That way, the commute to get out of class will be shorter and safer.
Yue Ting never underestimated anyone's malice. Today, she had ruined Jing Jun's plans, and who knows how much he might hold a grudge!
