Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Xiangyang's eyes.
It was obvious that Cao Yajun meant that he would continue to take her to meetings frequently in the future.
That's something else.
Xu Xiangyang was actually quite puzzled; what exactly was his purpose?
The two exchanged a few words and then left after get off work.
After starting work, he had more and more work, which was partly due to his colleagues deliberately targeting him.
Xu Xiangyang knew why people thought that way. After he went to a meeting with Cao Yajun last time, everyone started targeting him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Whether it's fetching documents, retrieving files, or running errands, he does it all.
Xu Xiangyang didn't care too much. He just treated it as a way to train himself. It wasn't without its benefits. At least he had figured out the situation of the entire building in the past few days.
After getting off work that day, Xu Xiangyang saw Shen Fangjun at the entrance of his workplace.
They're probably waiting for Cao Yajun. Their relationship is already established, and they'll probably get married soon.
He saw the person and went over to greet them.
"Comrade Shen, are you waiting for Secretary Cao?"
Hearing this, Shen Fangjun blushed slightly and nodded shyly, "Yes, he hasn't gotten off work yet."
She had heard from Cao Yajun that Xu Xiangyang was working here, so she wasn't surprised to see him.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Yeah, it'll probably be a while. He's not finished yet."
Everyone in the office had left, but Cao Yajun had other work to do that couldn't be delegated to the office staff, so he had to take matters into his own hands.
Shen Fangjun nodded. She knew that Cao Yajun was usually very busy with work, so she rarely bothered him.
I came to see him today because we had arranged to meet; otherwise, I wouldn't have come to his workplace.
"Oh, so you've changed your boyfriend?" a female voice rang out, her tone laced with undisguised jealousy.
Xu Xiangyang looked back and saw that the person looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.
Shen Fangjun's face turned cold, and she said, "Guo Lanying, aren't you a little shameless?"
The woman opposite was clearly enraged. "You've gotten quite sharp-tongued these past few days. Weren't you quite the actor in front of the runner-up? What, are you two-faced?"
Guo Lanying's eyes were practically brimming with jealousy. How could she not be angry? She had already arranged a marriage with Cao Yajun's family, but then Shen Fangjun appeared out of nowhere. Who would have thought?
At first, she didn't take this woman seriously, after all, how could the working class compare to her?
But now Cao Yajun is completely infatuated with this slut and insists on being with her.
Guo Lanying found Shen Fangjun increasingly displeasing to the eye. If it weren't for the crowd at the gate, she would have gone over and taught Shen Fangjun a lesson.
Xu Xiangyang frowned, then suddenly remembered that this person had slapped Shen Fangjun at the supply and marketing cooperative.
They actually tracked us all the way here.
However, he felt that Cao Yajun was sincere towards Shen Fangjun, and that this woman couldn't cause any trouble.
Shen Fangjun smiled, looked at her, and said, "I am two-faced, so what? Even if you are a hundred times two-faced, no one will like you!"
She spoke very softly, but the person on the other end could hear her.
The main reason was that she was a little shy about being overheard. She herself felt embarrassed by what she said, but she still managed to hold back her blushing.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at her in surprise, not expecting this girl to be so bold. At least in this conservative era, others wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
Guo Lanying was so angry with her that she wanted to curse, but then she suddenly saw the person next to her.
"Runner-up!" she shouted, and quickly ran over.
Unfortunately, Cao Yajun went straight to Shen Fangjun and whispered, "I like your two-faced nature."
After saying that, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
Shen Fangjun blushed deeply, feeling both incredibly embarrassed and too ashamed to run away now.
Xu Xiangyang: Holy crap, is this some kind of "closing the door and killing the dog" situation?
Guo Lanying, standing to the side, had a gloomy face and looked like she was about to explode, but she didn't get angry because Cao Yajun was there.
She walked over and said, "Cao Yajun, you know our two families are engaged."
She was reminding Cao Yajun to consider his own feelings.
But this obviously didn't work.
Cao Yajun sneered and said, "The engagement will be called off in the next couple of days. Go back now and don't come here again."
After saying that, he left with Shen Fangjun.
Seeing that there was no show to watch, Xu Xiangyang got on the bus and went home.
Guo Lanying stared at their departing figures with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake, unable to calm her emotions for a long time.
People passing by started pointing and whispering, mainly because her expression and eyes were too frightening; who wouldn't be scared looking at her?
"Fine, you just wait! I hope you won't regret it!" Guo Lanying said through gritted teeth.
...
When Xu Xiangyang returned home, he found Qian Wenqing there, cleaning the toilet with Xu Guangtian outside.
"Hey, when did you get here?" he said as he walked over.
The weather is cold now, so the toilet doesn't smell much.
When Qian Wenqing saw him return, he said, "I just arrived. I came over after get off work with my uncle. I heard you've been working for several days, so I came to see you."
He was quite worried during this time, after all, being fired from his job was no small matter, and he was afraid that Xu Xiangyang might have a moment of despair and refuse to go back to work.
I heard he's already working, so I came to visit him.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, thinking that this kid had a conscience, and said, "Okay, let's eat here tonight. I'll make hot pot."
Last time we had a charcoal hot pot with mutton and sauerkraut, and everyone really liked it. This time, he plans to make a half-and-half hot pot so they can try it out.
Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Qian Wenqing was overjoyed, "Okay!"
This time, he worked even harder at cleaning the toilet, and with one swing of the axe, he almost smashed the latrine to pieces.
"Be careful!" Xu Guangtian, who was standing nearby, frowned and quickly went over to help.
Xu Xiangyang went inside and took out some mutton rolls. He had brought them back a couple of days ago, but his family didn't know how to cook them, so they had kept them.
Wang Xiumin helped with washing the vegetables, but making the broth was more difficult.
After thinking about it, he decided to use what he already had and made a hot pot with two broths.
This is so convenient and saves so much trouble!
That evening, everyone ate this kind of hot pot for the first time, but because they couldn't handle spicy food, only Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing ate the spicy broth.
Seeing him sweating profusely from the spiciness, Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but say, "If it's so spicy, don't eat it. Isn't there a clear broth version?"
What's wrong with this person? It's not like there aren't any non-spicy options, so why are they eating such spicy food?
Qian Wenqing smacked his lips and said, "I don't know either. The spicier it is, the more I want to eat it. What's going on?"
He didn't understand what was going on either!
Xu Xiangyang shook his head and ignored him. Anyway, he wasn't the one who was suffering, so he could eat however he wanted.
