Chapter 91 The Little Scoundrel's Dark Moonlight Educated Youth 26
Wei Ping'an looked innocent, "Mingzhu, I just want to live a good life with you, please don't wrongly accuse me."
After being with Wei Ping'an for two years, Shen Xinran could tell at a glance that Wei Ping'an was acting. She gritted her teeth and said, "You keep making it up, just keep making it up."
Wei Pingan shrugged. "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. But time will tell."
Watching Wei Ping'an quickly get out of bed and leave, Shen Xinran sneered. If he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't leave so quickly!
Wang Jie and Li Mingjia came back very late last night. When they saw an extra person at the dinner table, they were a little surprised. They said in unison: "You are——"
Wei Pingan took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile: "You must be the elder brother and sister-in-law, right? Let me introduce myself first. I am Mingzhu's man in the countryside."
Shen Xinran glanced at Wei Ping'an and sneered, "A man is a man, why do you have to marry a country girl?"
Wei Ping'an had a meaningful smile on his face, "Because I'm afraid you'll find another one in the city!"
Shen Xinran: “…”
Okay, she gave up.
Lu Xiaoqin, who was still standing by, could only smile stiffly and said, "Ping An is really humorous."
Wang Jie looked at Shen Xinran, the gloating in her eyes was too obvious. Li Mingzhu was a girl raised in a dual-income family, but she was so shallow-minded. She found a country man, and this was how her life would be.
After finishing her breakfast, Shen Xinran went to work. The Li family lived in the staff dormitory of the textile factory, which was just behind the factory. She only needed to walk to the back door and then enter the factory through the back door.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama. In a textile factory, a place that is almost entirely populated by women, gossip can be heard in almost every corner.
As soon as I arrived at the factory gate, I heard a group of female workers chatting.
"Hey, did you know that our factory was bought by someone? I heard that the boss is from Hai City."
"Really? Ever since it opened, our factory's performance has been poor. I'm worried it'll go bankrupt one day."
"But the benefits offered by private employers are definitely not as good as those in the public sector. We should be careful these days so that our bosses don't find fault with us and fire us."
"Yes, do you remember that sugar factory in the north of the city? My boyfriend worked there. I heard it was bought out, and a lot of people were fired..."
On the way from the factory gate to the workshop, the most common thing Shen Xinran heard was the news that the factory had been acquired. But if she remembered correctly, this scene was not in the plot!
Shen Xinran was in charge of operating the sewing machine in the workshop, and the female workers who had arrived early had already started working. Seeing this group of hardworking workers, Shen Xinran once again felt that she was out of tune with this world, because she would never go to work before it was working time.
A young girl in blue overalls came over and sat next to Li Mingzhu. She lowered her voice and said to Chen Xinran, "Mingzhu, I heard you're married?"
As a worker who has been working for two years, how can he not have his own lazy partner? This young girl Meng Yulan is Shen Xinran's lazy partner.
Shen Xinran looked at Meng Yulan and smiled faintly: "My sister-in-law told you, right? What else did she say?"
Meng Yulan was very excited. "She also said that your man was from the countryside, and you abandoned him for work, and now he's looking for you. I scolded him back on your behalf, saying that you couldn't be that kind of person."
Shen Xinran glanced at Meng Yulan with a half-smile, because she knew that although Meng Yulan liked gossip, she was notoriously timid and there was no way she could help her curse back.
Meng Yulan suddenly felt ashamed of being seen through, and her face flushed red. But her curiosity still forced her to ask Chen Xinran, "So is this true or false? We have such a good relationship, if someone asks me, I don't know how to explain it to you."
Shen Xinran nodded and said casually, "No need to explain, because this is true."
Meng Yulan widened her eyes in surprise and shrieked, "Oh my God, you actually had a man!"
Looking at the shock on Meng Yulan's face, Shen Xinran suddenly had an idea. If it weren't for the news of the factory being acquired, she would definitely be on the headlines of the textile factory today.
…
In the middle of the morning, the team leader suddenly called out from the workshop door. "Mingzhu, someone's looking for you."
Shen Xinran walked out and saw Wei Pingan standing at the factory gate. She frowned and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Wei Pingan walked up to Shen Xinran, grinned and said, "I'm out of money, please give me some money for lunch!"
Shen Xinran frowned. Wei Ping'an was the male protagonist, how could he be without money? She looked Wei Ping'an up and down and asked suspiciously, "What have you been doing these past two years?"
Wei Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you, but I've been waiting for you for two years, and you didn't come back, so I had no choice but to come find you."
Shen Xinran's eyes widened in surprise. Why would the male lead wait for her at home? Shouldn't he be working as a trader in Hai City?
Seeing that Shen Xinran remained silent, Wei Ping'an pursed his lips, "You said you would support me, you won't deny it, right?"
It's over, the male protagonist seems to have been ruined by her. Shen Xinran's mind was filled with only this one thought, and she didn't notice the gleam in Wei Ping'an's eyes.
She took a deep breath, took out ten yuan from her pocket, and handed it to Wei Ping'an. "This is all I have on me. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you when I get back."
Wei Pingan took the money and smiled from ear to ear. "I knew you were the best. Go to work and do your best. I'm going to have breakfast."
Watching Wei Ping'an leave, Shen Xinran felt like crying. You know, even though the male protagonist in this world was lazy in the early days, he became self-reliant and worked hard in the later years! How could she save the self-degrading male protagonist?
Many female workers heard the sound and looked over here curiously. When they saw Wei Ping'an reaching out to Shen Xinran for money, they were stunned. What kind of useless man would chase after his wife in the factory and ask for money?
Wei Pingan was halfway there when he turned back to look at Shen Xinran, only to see her entering the workshop in a daze. "Is this uncomfortable? There will be more to make you uncomfortable later!"
Shortly after Wei Ping'an left, a broadcast suddenly sounded in the factory, asking all employees to go to the square for a meeting.
Although Shen Xinran didn't know what was going on, she put down her work and went to the square. The workers were standing in neat rows according to their workshops. Shen Xinran was in workshop number three, so she walked towards the team there.
After about half an hour, a young man wearing black-framed glasses walked up to the podium. "As the new factory director, let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Hongzhi, and I'm honored to be here speaking to you all. I promise you all that I will do my utmost to ensure the development and growth of our factory..."
Jiang Hongzhi? Isn't this the male protagonist's best friend? Shen Xinran, who was still in the audience, frowned.
Jiang Hongzhi spoke a lot of high-sounding words, but no one listened. Then he began to sigh, "As I'm sure you all know, our factory hasn't been doing well this year. So, we have to lay off some people. The layoff list is in the hands of the workshop supervisor. You can take a look at it."
Upon hearing this, the workers rushed to the supervisor. Those who were not in charge were beaming with joy, while those who were in charge were weeping bitterly.
Soon, someone in the crowd protested. "I've been working here since the factory was built. I've been here longer than you are. Why are you kicking me out the moment you arrive?"
"Yes, we won't leave. Even if we die, we'll die in the factory."
