Chapter 327
Ji Xingguo suddenly looked up, put down his pen, and asked sternly, "What is the relationship between Lei Tingjun, my daughter, and me?"
“Well… Miss Ji and Brother Lei… you know…?” Sun Xiaojun blurted out.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Xiaojun looked up and saw Ji Xingguo's grim expression, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue suddenly stuck in his throat.
"Speak. Tell me, what happened between my daughter and Lei Tingjun?" Ji Xingguo exuded an imposing aura, his eyes fixed intently on Sun Xiaojun.
Seeing his expression, Sun Xiaojun couldn't help but shudder and immediately realized what was happening.
Judging from Ji Xingguo's attitude, he probably doesn't know yet.
All those speculations just now were probably just Sun Xiaojun overthinking things.
At this moment, Sun Xiaojun carefully recalled that when he called Zhou Peng that time, Zhou Peng had accidentally let slip a word, and Zhou Peng had immediately warned him repeatedly not to let the matter leak out.
Otherwise, Lei Ge would cut off his tongue.
Seeing Ji Xingguo's gloomy and angry expression, Sun Xiaojun suddenly realized that the old father was probably unaware that Miss Ji was with his brother Lei.
Not only would they be unaware of it, but even if they were, they would likely be very opposed to it.
Otherwise, Lei Ge already has the abilities he has now, and he's already twenty-five years old. He should have been getting married long ago. How could he still be hiding his relationship and not making it public?
Based on Sun Xiaojun's understanding of Boss Lei, given his personality, it's impossible for him to keep a relationship a secret once he's in it.
With his chivalrous and righteous nature, his emphasis on relationships and family, and his protective nature, once he falls in love, he wants the whole world to know and wants to shield his partner under his wing.
How could it be that after almost a year, he's still willing to remain anonymous and without status for the woman?
Although Sun Xiaojun is not particularly intelligent, he does possess a certain cleverness and quick wit, especially in unexpected situations where he often displays a level of resourcefulness several times higher than his usual intelligence.
His words even beat his brain to the punch, and he blurted out, "Isn't Miss Ji a student at East China University? Director Ji, you might not know this, but our Brother Lei also took the national entrance exam this year and got into East China University. He's an alumnus of the same university as Miss Ji!"
In that instant, Sun Xiaojun didn't think of anything.
Then I thought of something: what if he went against Boss Lei's wishes and exposed his relationship with Miss Ji to Factory Director Ji?
If he leaves the Eastern Factory and goes to find Lei Tingjun, Lei Tingjun will really not recognize him as a brother.
He managed to salvage the situation in time, so at least he can salvage the brotherhood with Lei Tingjun later.
Even if Lei Tingjun can't take him in because of Ji Xingguo's influence, he won't just stand by and watch him end up homeless and destitute. He'll do whatever it takes to help him.
Therefore, in a state of mental blankness, Sun Xiaojun subconsciously uttered what he believed to be the most correct choice.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingguo frowned, stared sharply at Sun Xiaojun, scrutinized him for a long time, and then picked up his pen to continue signing.
He scoffed, "So what if she's an alumna? This matter has nothing to do with my daughter from beginning to end."
"And Lei Tingjun, don't think that just because he's got some skills in civil engineering and a nominal degree from an adult university, he can turn the world upside down!"
"Young people, whatever you do, you must be down-to-earth and steady in order to go far."
As he spoke, Ji Xingguo snorted coldly: "If his subordinates are all people like you, I don't think his construction team will last long."
After signing, Ji Xingguo handed the document to Director Wang and warned, "And you, Sun Xiaojun, let me remind you, even if you leave the factory, you'd better watch your mouth. Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences sooner or later."
Sun Xiaojun's resignation application was thus casually approved by Ji Xingguo.
Director Wang picked up the document expressionlessly, sneered at Sun Xiaojun, and said, "Alright, after all this fuss, you've finally succeeded. Hurry up and go pack your things and get out of here."
Sun Xiaojun stood rooted to the spot in the office, unable to move.
"Director Ji, could you please do me a favor and not write to Brother Lei?" Sun Xiaojun pleaded, rubbing his hands. "Director, those people in the workshop, they're always looking for something better, they believe everything they hear. Think about it, the reason I'm resigning is because I have a close relationship with Brother Lei. If I go there, it'll be to help Brother Lei. What can any of them accomplish?"
"They're just money-hungry, thinking they can get something out of it by making trouble. In reality, even if they go to Pingdong City, Brother Lei might not accept them."
"Factory manager, if you're going to approve something, just approve one for me. You've approved so many people at once, and this responsibility wasn't originally mine, but now it's all forced onto me."
When Ji Xingguo was handling official business, he was very serious. He continued to work on his documents and said to Director Wang, "Take the person out of here and don't bother me."
"Yes, Factory Director, you're busy." Director Wang walked over and pulled Sun Xiaojun aside.
"Go, go, get out of here and stop making a scene."
Sun Xiaojun was being pulled out the door, and he kept turning back to beg for mercy.
But the office door had already been ruthlessly closed, shutting out his voice.
Director Wang pulled the man out, then disgustedly let go of him, clapped his hands, and said, "You're all sticky, haven't washed in days. Hurry up and go back to your doghouse to pack your things. Come to my office this afternoon to complete the formalities and get out of here as soon as possible. Make room for me in the workshop so I can hire someone new."
