412 Please respect yourself
"No, Comrade Zhou, please respect yourself."
Su Taotao: "..." Is this what she can listen to? Should she wait a while before going out?
Zhou Weining pursed his lips. Self-respect? So his behavior was disrespectful in his eyes?
Zhou Weining gritted his teeth: "Comrade Zhang, I like you. I know you don't have a partner, and I don't want to give up."
Zhang Jing'an squinted his eyes, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and crushed it with his shoes.
"Sorry, I don't plan to date, and you are not my type."
He was hurt too badly by women in his last life.
Zhang Jing'an was not lying. He had finally gotten rid of that woman in his life. He had just escaped from the wolf's den and did not intend to fall into another trap.
He really had no intention of dating.
It is still unknown whether she will stay in the country in the future, at least she has no plans to do so for the time being.
The last time Zhou Weining was frustrated was because of Fu Zhengtu. It was not because she gave up easily, but because she knew that Fu Zhengtu had Su Taotao.
No matter how much she liked him, no matter how shameless she was, she could not cling to a married man. Zhang Jingan was a rare person she liked besides Fu Zhengtu. Zhou Weining knew what liking was and how rare it was to like someone, just like she knew that she didn't like Mo Jiazhe, so this time, she didn't want to let go easily.
"Think about it carefully, I'll wait for you."
Zhou Weining turned around and left.
Su Taotao didn't have time to retreat, and ran into her face to face.
Zhou Weining's face turned pale, but he was relieved when he saw Su Taotao. He shook his head at her, gritted his teeth, took her hand and walked out.
He walked to another empty place with no one around before letting go.
Zhou Weining said self-deprecatingly: "You heard everything, didn't you? Do you think I'm particularly shameless? Do you want to make fun of me?"
Su Taotao shook her head: "How can it be shameful for a man and a woman to like someone before they get married? You are very brave, you have expressed it, you have fought for it, and you have no regrets whether you succeed or not. How could I laugh at you?"
Zhou Weining is a girl who is particularly nervous and a little neurotic most of the time.
But in essence, she is a rare freshness in this era.
Born into a good family, she has great confidence. She has no inferiority complex and dares to love and hate. She has everything and doesn't want to settle. She just wants to find someone she likes to be with. Many people are jealous of her, so how can it be a joke?
Zhou Weining didn't expect Su Taotao to say this.
She curled her lips: "But what's the use? I feel that my feelings are always misplaced. I don't like the person who likes me, and the person I like doesn't like me. It's always misplaced, oh!"
Su Taotao couldn't respond to this. The last person Zhou Weining liked was her husband, and the one who liked her but she didn't like was today's groom...
"Love is about mutual affection. It can't be forced. One-sided willingness won't produce results." Given her relationship with Zhou Weining, it was already a sign of deep friendship to talk about this. For the sake of Fu Zhengtu and Zhou Zheng, it would be impolite to talk further.
"I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Zhou Weining nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you."
She still wanted to fight for it again. If it really didn't work, she wouldn't insist on it.
Su Taotao returned to the parking lot. Zhang Jingan was still smoking there, and there were a few more cigarette butts on the ground.
"Would you like to give me a ride?" Zhang Jingan asked casually.
Su Taotao got into the cab: "Come on in."
"Thank you." Zhang Jingan got in the car, closed his eyes tiredly, and didn't say much.
Su Taotao naturally didn't rush to ask.
When the car left the checkpoint, Zhang Jingan suddenly opened his eyes and said hoarsely: "You heard everything, right?"
Su Taotao glanced at the rearview mirror and lied with her eyes open: "I didn't hear anything. I'm not interested in anything other than your work."
She is not an expert in relationships, and she chatted with Zhou Weining for Zhou Zheng's sake.
Zhang Jingan gave her a very strange feeling. They were not that familiar with each other, and he did not intend to wade into this muddy water.
Zhang Jingan laughed at himself and muttered to himself: "You are different from before, very different, like a different person."
Su Taotao frowned, and that strange feeling came again. From the memory of the original body, they were not familiar with each other. From the original plot, it was "Su Taotao" who abandoned her husband and son and returned to the city to marry Xu Jiadong. After Zhang Jingan and Xu Jialian got married, they had more intersections.
Before that, they should not have had much intersection.
And every time Zhang Jingan gave her the feeling that they were very familiar with each other before, and getting along with him often made Su Taotao feel an uncomfortable questioning and exploration, which might not be malicious, but it just made people feel uncomfortable.
"People always change. We didn't know each other well before, so it's normal for me to change so much." She is Su Taotao, and it's useless to question her.
Zhang Jing'an rarely shows his emotions, and when he finds out, he feels a little regretful: "Sorry, that's not what I meant. By the way, there is a little problem with the land deed, and someone disagrees..."
Zhang Jing'an cleverly changed the subject and went back to work.
Su Taotao cooperated naturally and kept chatting until they got to the factory. When Zhang Jing'an got out of the car, Su Taotao remembered something she had always ignored:
she didn't abandon her husband and son and return to the city to renew her relationship with Xu Jiadong because "Su Taotao" had a new core.
What about Zhang Jing'an?
Why didn't he marry Xu Jialian? She also gave up her bright future as the secretary of the Public Security Bureau and came to her small, shabby factory to be a secretary.
Why is that?
Is it because her appearance changed the plot, "Su Taotao" did not marry Xu Jiadong, did not become sister-in-law with Xu Jialian, and caused Xu Jialian and Zhang Jingan to not be husband and wife?
But "Su Taotao"'s plot seems to have nothing to do with Zhang Jingan. The original novel does not seem to mention it too much. She really can't remember the direction of Zhang Jingan's plot.
But Zhang Jingan is the secretary of the Public Security Bureau in the original novel, and he is also married to Xu Jialian. Even if they divorced later, there should be no emotional line with Zhou Weining, right?
Since I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with her.
Her parents and brothers have seen it all, and there is nothing wrong with it. Su Taotao no longer has to worry about the future. Living a good life now is more important than anything else.
Even if Zhang Jing'an was reborn, it had nothing to do with her.
Rebirth?
This thought suddenly popped up, and Su Taotao's eyebrows jumped.
The possibility of Zhang Jing'an's rebirth is actually very high, otherwise he and Xu Jialian were childhood sweethearts and were about to get married, so why couldn't they get married?
It is very likely that he knew in advance who Xu Jialian was, so he didn't jump into the fire pit.
Then his doubts and explorations of "Su Taotao" are valid.
Because the life trajectory of "Su Taotao" is completely different from that of her previous life.
It can also explain why he gave up the secretary of the Public Security Bureau and came to "Su Taotao" to be a secretary.
Because the gap between her Su Taotao and that "Su Taotao" is too big, he is probably full and has nothing to do, and wants to figure out what's going on.
Zhang Jingan's sophistication and composure that were not suitable for his age group could also be explained.
Su Taotao was almost certain that he was reborn.
His life in his last life was not satisfactory, and he might have wanted to live a different life from his last life, so he came to her, the "variable", to seek a new way of life.
What's going on?
Su Taotao pinched her painful brows.
It seems that she was still careless. She still has to be extra careful with this person in the future, and must not let him catch any handle, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
