Chapter 240 Provocation
"Me?"
Su Hongying said, "I was almost pushed by your mother and died along with my unborn child. You can use the excuse of doing this for my own good to ask to separate from the family and live on your own."
“They definitely won’t agree.” Zhang Haijun shook his head and rejected the idea before the other person even finished listening.
Su Hongying laughed, "That's for sure. You earn over a hundred a month. If you distribute the money, it won't be theirs anymore. How could they possibly agree to that? And that's not what we need their agreement for."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Haijun didn't understand.
Su Hongying sighed and said, "This is just a pretext to not give them money, Brother Haijun. As long as you say that you want to separate from the family and live separately, you don't need to care whether they agree or not. You can use the excuse of helping me pay my surgery fees to my family to keep your salary firmly in your own hands."
Zhang Haijun suddenly realized and said "Oh".
"If you have money in your hands, you won't be caught off guard when opportunities arise, right? If your factory were to select someone outstanding, what use would it be if you only had real talent but didn't know how to adapt? Does the leadership lack truly capable people?"
Zhang Haijun shook his head.
Su Hongying said, "Right? So many people without talent have been promoted. If you have the ability and learn to be more adaptable, wouldn't you crush them in no time? Not to mention taking another step forward, taking two or three more steps forward wouldn't be difficult at all!"
Zhang Haijun's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Su Hongying.
"Hey, I heard you say last time that your workshop director was planning to give the job to his son. His son definitely can't be the director, so who will be the workshop director?"
Zhang Haijun noticed that she was staring straight at him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his breath catching in his throat for a moment.
Su Hongying laughed, "Of course it's you, Navy Brother! You're already a deputy, just take the money and visit the leader, and you'll be promoted to a full-fledged officer, right?"
Zhang Haijun understood immediately.
"You mean...giving a gift?"
Su Hongying nodded happily and said, "My Navy brother is so smart, he understands everything so quickly. Once you're officially promoted, you'll have a good impression on the leaders. Do you think they'll think of you when there are good opportunities?"
"Yes!" Zhang Haijun felt his chest bulge with excitement.
Su Hongying smiled and chimed in, "I believe that with Haijun's interpersonal skills, he'll be in the factory office in less than two years. Even if we can't be the top leader, the second, third, and fourth positions will be a piece of cake for him!"
She smiled broadly, wholeheartedly planning and envisioning a bright future for him. To be honest, Zhang Haijun was madly in love, unable to hide the smile on his face, as if he had already become the second, third, or fourth in command.
“Hongying…”
Zhang Haijun's gaze softened considerably as he gently squeezed Su Hongying's hand and said, "It's so kind of you to think of me like this. I was wrong before; I shouldn't have sided with my mother. I never expected my mother to push you over such a small matter. Don't be angry with me; I promise I'll treat you better from now on..."
Su Hongying looked at him, her eyes reddening.
"Brother Navy, your words are enough. But Mom definitely won't agree to us separating and living separately. It's going to be incredibly difficult for you to keep your salary in your own hands."
Zhang Haijun frowned and hummed in agreement.
Holding her hand, I said, "I'm sorry to trouble you again. I don't want to pay for your surgery. If I use this to tell her about separating the family, she'll definitely think you instigated me."
Su Hongying raised an eyebrow slightly, suppressing the mockery she felt for the man, and shook her head with a bitter smile.
He said, "I'm not afraid. As long as I can help Navy Brother and make him the second-in-command, I can endure any hardship, fatigue, or grievances."
Zhang Haijun felt even more comfortable and satisfied with these words.
He reached out to touch Su Hongying's face, but Su Hongying frowned, feeling inexplicably nauseous, and subconsciously turned her head away.
Zhang Haijun looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"I haven't washed my face for several days, it's dirty," Su Hongying explained with a smile.
Zhang Haijun chuckled and playfully pinched her nose, saying, "Okay, then I won't kiss your cheek, I'll kiss your hand instead..."
Su Hongying cried out and tried to pull back, but Zhang Haijun pulled her to kiss him. Just as they were about to kiss, Su Hongying couldn't hold back her urge to vomit, so she hissed and quickly pulled her hand back.
"Ouch, it's pulling on my wound, Navy Bro."
Su Hongying pretended to hit Zhang Haijun, "Haijun, you really made me laugh."
Seeing her youngest daughter's behavior, Zhang Haijun thought that this woman was really easy to coax, and said with a smile, "It's all my fault, I deserve to be hit."
After joking around for a while, Zhang Haijun asked her, "How many days is your mom planning to let you stay in the hospital? I'll take you back to your parents' home to recuperate after you're discharged."
Su Hongying's expression changed instantly, her eyes darkening. When she saw Zhang Haijun staring at her, she lowered her eyes unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Haijun asked.
Su Hongying looked up with red eyes and said, "I'm going back to my parents' house. What will happen to Haijun? Your mother can't possibly go to my parents' house and scold me for instigating you. She'll just take all her anger out on you."
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
Zhang Haijun laughed, a hint of smugness in his eyes, "That's my own mother. She might nag me a bit at most. Besides, I can wait until you finish your postpartum confinement and go home before bringing up the matter of separating the family property with her. Right now, nothing is more important than your health. By the way..."
"...When you go back to your parents' home, take the baby with you. My mom says the baby is too young and will only grow strong if he is breastfed. Formula is too expensive. In just the last two days, he has already spent ten or twenty yuan on formula alone."
Su Hongying, "..."
That scoundrel, he really doesn't want to let her go at all.
She was expressionless, and even wanted to swing her arm and slap his mouth out of shape!
Look, this is the man she chose herself. All that talk about him treating her well for life, never letting her suffer, and his whole family spoiling her like a princess is just a bunch of lies.
"Hongying?"
Su Hongying hummed in agreement, then glared at Zhang Haijun reproachfully and said, "Brother Haijun, you're confused."
"What?" Zhang Haijun frowned.
Su Hongying sighed and explained, "What's the point of you going to separate from your mother after I finish my postpartum confinement? Have you forgotten what I just told you?"
"I haven't forgotten. Didn't you say that my mom would be more upset with me while you were in postpartum confinement? I'll wait until you finish your confinement..."
Su Hongying's forehead veins throbbed, and she gritted her teeth.
"I need to be in postpartum confinement for a month, and by then it'll be too late! Will the workshop director position wait until I'm done with my confinement? Haijun, you really need to use my surgery fee as an excuse to ask your mom for money. If she doesn't give it to you, you can keep your salary in your own hands. Only when you have money can you think about getting promoted to workshop director! Right?"
Zhang Haijun paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You need to think it through. What if someone parachutes in and puts you in a difficult position? Everyone in the workshop will be laughing at you behind your back, saying you don’t know how to behave. You finally outlasted the old workshop director, but you didn’t have the ability to climb up yourself,” Su Hongying said.
Zhang Haijun's brows furrowed, and his face turned ugly.
Su Hongying didn't stop there, and continued, "Did your mother ever care about your promotion? She just wanted to control your second aunt. If she cared even a little about whether you needed money to bribe your way into the promotion, she wouldn't have kept all the money in her own hands. Think about it, is what I'm saying reasonable?"
