Chapter 245
The sound was so abrupt.
It shattered the tranquility of the space, making it impossible to ignore.
Ji Wanmei lifted her head from Lei Tingjun's embrace and turned to look. Lei Tingjun did the same, frowning and turning to look at the door.
Tian Guixiang, carrying a cloth bag, appeared out of nowhere and stood at the entrance of the factory shed, looking at Lei Tingjun and Ji Wanmei in astonishment.
But she quickly came to her senses and fixed her gaze on Ji Wanmei. Out of a sense of competition between women, she began to look Ji Wanmei up and down.
Ji Wanmei was sitting side by side with Lei Tingjun. Just now, when Ji Wanmei turned around to hug Lei Tingjun, she turned her body slightly to the side. Lei Tingjun did the same, turning around and putting one arm around her waist and the other arm around her back.
Now the two of them have let go and are sitting side by side behind the long table again.
The long table was brought over by Lao Cui when we were assessing the workers we were recruiting earlier, and we haven't had time to move it yet.
Therefore, from the angle from which Tian Guixiang stood at the door, she could only see Ji Wanmei's upper body, because her lower body was blocked by the long table.
Tian Guixiang's hostile gaze was very noticeable, even blatant.
Her dark gray alpaca coat and red scarf made her small face appear even smaller than a palm. Perhaps it was the high temperature inside the brick factory that made her cheeks look rosy and fair.
Tian Guixiang had to admit, with a touch of jealousy, that this was a girl who was prettier than her.
Especially Lei Tingjun and her actions, which were so intimate.
Zhang Huan just ran over to tell her that Lei Tingjun brought a young woman to Honghe Township and they went to the brick factory. The two seemed to be behaving intimately, but she didn't know what their relationship was.
Upon hearing this, Tian Guixiang rushed over without thinking of anything else.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived, she saw Lei Tingjun and this woman hugging and cuddling intimately.
Jealousy made Tian Guixiang feel resentful.
She glanced at Ji Wanmei, deliberately ignoring her strong presence, and turned to Lei Tingjun instead.
With what she considered her most beautiful and gentle smile on her face, she said to Lei Tingjun, "Lei Tingjun, look what good stuff I brought you! It's sausage! I made it at home, it's so delicious, I brought it for you to try."
Lei Tingjun's face darkened instantly.
What is this woman doing here again?
He had no time to pay attention to Tian Guixiang's self-delusion; instead, he hurriedly looked at Ji Wanmei beside him.
"Meimei..."
If Ji Wanmei misunderstands this situation, he's doomed.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed Ji Wanmei's hand, his first thought being to make it clear to her that he really wasn't familiar with this Tian Guixiang.
Ji Wanmei gave Lei Tingjun a meaningful look, and Lei Tingjun froze instantly, not daring to move.
Seeing his honest and unassuming appearance, Ji Wanmei glared at him, indicating that she would settle accounts with him later.
Turning around, Ji Wanmei glanced at Tian Guixiang and laughed, "Excuse me, you must be Lei Tingjun's junior high school classmate, Tian Guixiang?"
This time, Tian Guixiang was genuinely surprised. She looked at Ji Wanmei warily, her hands clenching the cloth bag containing the sausages, and raised her chin: "That's right, I am Tian Guixiang. Lei Tingjun mentioned me to you?"
As she said this, a slightly smug expression flashed across Tian Guixiang's face.
Lei Tingjun glanced at her with the same expression he would give a telephone pole.
But Ji Wanmei was under the table, secretly pinching him hard to prevent Lei Tingjun from making a sound.
Lei Tingjun could only keep a straight face and remain silent, but he looked at Ji Wanmei with some worry in his heart, not knowing what she wanted to do, and he couldn't guess whether she had misunderstood.
Ji Wanmei smiled and said to Tian Guixiang, "Of course he mentioned it. You are his junior high school classmate and also a fellow villager of Honghe Township. Lei Tingjun told me about it when we decided to acquire this brick factory in Honghe Township."
Ji Wanmei remained seated at the long table with a relaxed and composed demeanor, while Tian Guizhen stood nervously and warily by the door.
His movements and distance were just like those nervous farmhands who had come to apply earlier.
When Tian Guixiang heard Ji Wanmei say, "From the moment we decided to acquire the brick factory," her expression suddenly changed.
Because she extracted some unique and crucial information from that sentence.
Did she and Lei Tingjun buy this red brick factory together?
Ji Wanmei continued, "He said he used to study in Honghe Township, and he has many relatives and fellow villagers here, as well as some old classmates. It's quite a coincidence that he ran into you outside the township committee office that day."
Tian Guixiang's face turned even uglier.
Lei Tingjun actually told this woman everything.
Who exactly is she? Does Lei Tingjun need to report his whereabouts to her in such detail?
Not to be outdone, Tian Guixiang deliberately provoked, "Yes, Lei Tingjun and I have been classmates for over ten years. We were very close back then. Even after all these years, we hit it off immediately, and he even treated me to a meal."
Ji Wanmei was not affected by Tian Guixiang's deliberate provocation at all, and still smiled leisurely and said, "It is only right to treat old classmates to dinner. I was even planning to discuss it with Lei Tingjun. Now that half of our building materials business has been carried out in Honghe Township, it is also necessary to maintain more contact with our old friends and relatives."
"Sister Guixiang, you've been in Honghe Township for most of the year, so you must have a lot of contact information for your old classmates. Why don't you go and get in touch with them? Everyone can come over tonight, and Lei Tingjun and I will treat everyone to a simple meal at the best restaurant in the township."
