"Why? Did I scare you? Wei Zhu, I didn't say you had to accept my advances, but at least give me a chance. Don't try to fob me off with the excuse that you're not dating right now." Jing Jun was a little anxious. He thought that even if Wei Zhu didn't agree right away, she wouldn't refuse so readily. Had he misjudged her?
"I really don't plan to date for the time being, at least not for the next three years. I have new plans for my future." Wei Zhu explained earnestly, not wanting things to get too ugly.
"Three years? Wei Zhu, we're not young anymore. What are you going to do for the next three years? Even if you want to reject me, you should come up with a good excuse. Don't make me feel bad like this, okay?"
Yue Ting rolled her eyes again in an unseemly manner and said sarcastically, "You're not young, but Wei Zhu is still very young. She just graduated from university and is only twenty-two this year. Even in three years, she'll only be twenty-five, the best age of her life. Why are you belittling Wei Zhu like this? She has her own plans, what does it have to do with you?"
"Shut up." Jing Jun gave her a warning look. "I was asking Wei Zhu a question, not talking to you."
"You! Humph!"
Wei Zhu's tone remained gentle, but her eyes looked somewhat unfamiliar: "Jing Jun, I'm not just giving you the runaround. I resigned because I wanted to relearn. Yue Ting wasn't wrong, so don't press the issue. We weren't that close to begin with."
"I..." Jing Jun wanted to pull Wei Zhu back and then shield Yue Ting.
Looking at his sinister gaze, Yue Ting's face turned pale with embarrassment. Then she glared at him again, thinking, "Whatever, I'm not going to do it anyway."
Wei Zhu pulled Yue Ting away quickly. She felt that Jing Jun was very impolite today, completely different from what she had imagined.
Back in her office, Yue Ting breathed a sigh of relief, then advised Wei Zhu, "You'd better delete Jing Jun's contact information and never contact him again. He's not what he seems; he's not someone to be trifled with."
Wei Zhushen agreed: "I think so too. I used to think he was a good person, but the way he looked at you just now was terrifying for a moment."
"The more someone hides their true nature, the more terrifying they are; they are usually too good at hiding it."
"Tingting, will you be in danger after I leave?"
"I was just thinking of quitting my job and moving to the night school. They have dorms there." Yue Ting had originally planned to rent a place outside for a better environment, but now it seems safer to live on campus.
"He probably won't retaliate, right?"
"Who knows? Anyway, it's better to be careful. My relatives back home would all try to harm me, let alone strangers I've offended. I finally won my freedom, and I don't want it to be gone before I can even enjoy it. Wouldn't all the money I've saved go to my disgusting parents? No way. The money I earn is mine to spend."
Wei Zhu laughed out loud: "Tingting, you're really funny. I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
"What's the big deal? Who knew Jing Jun was such a two-faced person? I'll just take a few months off to study hard, and once I get my diploma, I'll come find you next year."
"Yes, you must come then."
Meanwhile, Jing Jun returned to the workshop, where the workers were all winking and asking him about Wei Zhu: "How's it going? Did you manage to get her?"
"Judging from Chief Jing's attitude, it's probably not yet. We just heard some noise. Is it that Yue Ting causing trouble? That woman has extremely high standards and is not easy to mess with."
"Chief Jing, shall we teach her a lesson for you?"
Jing Jun's expression changed: "Wei Zhu hasn't left yet, so I still have a chance. Don't let this get to her ears and make her misunderstand me."
"That's true, but why would someone resign when everything was fine?"
"That's right. The boss values her highly. Among all the clerks, she probably has the highest salary."
"You two are a perfect match, so why would she be unhappy? Although she's a college student, she didn't attend a prestigious university, and her family probably doesn't value her much. Otherwise, why would they let her work here? It should be her honor that you're pursuing her."
Hearing these words, Jing Jun's expression softened. He didn't care whether these people were genuinely flattering him or not, because that's how he felt himself.
Wei Zhu is truly a great wife candidate. She has a gentle personality, is hardworking and resilient, doesn't like makeup or dressing up, can work and earn money, and her status as a college student is something to be proud of.
He had only been in the factory for a short time when he decided on Wei Zhu, and he knew that her personality was too impatient, so he had been taking things slowly. He never expected such an accident to happen so suddenly, and today, because of Yue Ting, he almost exposed his true colors in front of Wei Zhu. It's infuriating.
But he wouldn't give up easily. Not everyone is like Wei Zhu, with excellent qualities in all aspects and an easy-to-manage personality.
He didn't believe Wei Zhu when she said she was going to study. She had already graduated from university, what was there to study? Was she going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?
If Wei Zhu could really get into graduate school and be with him, he would naturally have more face. But he was afraid that after Wei Zhu got in, she would look down on someone like him. Was it possible for him to stop Wei Zhu from studying?
If we could find out exactly which part of the neighboring county Wei Zhu's hometown is in, that would be great. That way, we could start by looking at Wei Zhu's hometown and see what his future plans and activities are.
"Besides HR, where else in our factory can we access employees' personal information?"
Jing Jun knew that if he asked Wei Zhu now, Wei Zhu would definitely not tell him, so he had to think of another way.
"I don't know if the finance department has them, but besides HR's computer, the boss's computer definitely has the spreadsheets too. You'll have to ask the boss's assistant."
The boss's assistant is the boss's nephew. Although he's called an assistant, he doesn't actually do anything. He's often out drinking and having fun. He's just a figurehead.
Jing Jun's eyes flickered: "Then I'll treat Wei Feng to a drink another day."
He's good at getting things done; otherwise, he wouldn't have been promoted to team leader in just three months. It's precisely because they saw his potential for advancement that the workers in the workshop would respect him as a team leader. Jing Jun will definitely rise even higher in the future.
The workers didn't know what he was up to, but they were happy to see the spectacle. Jing Jun usually treated them like brothers, and if their brother managed to date a college student, then... who knows, after building a good relationship, Wei Zhu might be able to introduce them to a college student too!
Even if we don't introduce college students, Yue Ting would be fine. Although her education level is lower than Wei Zhu's and she has a fiery temper, she is pretty and knows how to dress. She is definitely better than the blind dates arranged by our family.
"Although Wei Feng is usually very arrogant and doesn't take us ordinary workers seriously, you are different from us, team leader. As long as there is wine, Wei Feng will always give you face. In the end, you will definitely get what you want."
Jing Jun laughed heartily, clearly pleased to hear those words. If it weren't for his family's poor circumstances growing up, who was he worse off than? It was Wei Zhu's good fortune that she took a liking to him.
