Chapter 225 Coincidences Make History
Jiang Ruzhen did not tell Tang Mi beforehand that she was going. After three days and three nights of bumpy travel, she got off the train and easily took a taxi to the hotel in Hangzhou.
After completing the check-in procedures, she couldn't wait to wait for Tang Mi at the entrance of her workplace.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she was thinking of inviting Tang Mi to go to the dance hall after work.
Seeing that she still had half an hour before getting off work, Jiang Ruzhen decided to chat with the gatekeeper.
When inquiring about Tang Mi, the gatekeeper showered the factory director with praise.
The story focuses entirely on how Tang Mi led the factory from losses to profits, transforming it into a major taxpayer in Hangzhou.
After chatting about Tang Mi's great achievements for a while, we started talking about Tang Mi's love life.
The gatekeeper's eyes lit up, and he pulled Jiang Ruzhen into the gatehouse, speaking eloquently and passionately, spitting as he spoke.
"Let me tell you, sister, speaking of your recent boyfriend, our Factory Director Tang has truly had his hard times come to an end."
She and her ex-husband reportedly met when they were sent to the countryside. Director Tang was an educated youth from the city at the time; he was good-looking and capable.
She has a strong personality and never complained about the hardship when she was sent to the countryside. She wouldn't utter a sound even when her hands and feet were blistered from working. Most men thought she was arrogant and aloof and didn't dare to pursue her.
Only her rural husband truly cared for her, always finding ways to bring her delicious food. Our Factory Director Tang, though outwardly cold, was warm-hearted and was quickly won over by the man, so she married him.
Tang Mi had planned to settle down in the countryside for the rest of her life, but unexpectedly, her parents used their connections to bring her back to the city.
They also brought the man back to the city and found him a good job in the neighborhood.
Logically speaking, that man was essentially a son-in-law who had married into the family, so he should have been very filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law and very grateful to his wife, right?
Unexpectedly, his true colors were revealed only three years into the marriage. He was having an affair with a female colleague at work, and it's rumored that he even got one of them pregnant.
When Director Tang found out, he made a scene, but later felt it was too embarrassing, so he used money to shut the girl up and resolved the matter.
The man cried and begged, kneeling down and swearing that he would definitely change, and only then did Director Tang forgive him.
But to everyone's surprise, less than six months later, the man was having an affair again, this time with a married woman.
She was caught red-handed by someone's husband, who was about to beat her to death at home. It was only after Director Tang personally paid money to ransom her.
Both sides felt embarrassed, and the matter was left unresolved. Director Tang treated her husband so well, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
After returning home, he shamelessly boasted that Director Tang was too busy with factory affairs and neglected him, and that he didn't even have a child with him, which meant he looked down on people from the countryside. That's why he went out to find other women to comfort his wounded heart.
"My dear sister, listen to this! Is he even speaking human language?"
Jiang Ruzhen was furious when she heard this. Wasn't Tang Mi's ex-husband a typical "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success)?
Relying on Tang Mi's family background, he was ungrateful and instead used psychological manipulation on Tang Mi to achieve his own extravagant lifestyle.
If she encountered a man like that, she would definitely cripple him, take away his job, divorce him, and send him back to the countryside.
Let him fend for himself. How could someone as competitive and ambitious as Sister Tang have endured this for so many years?
"And then what happened? Why didn't they have any children?"
"What else could it be? Her health collapsed! When that guy got that girl pregnant for the first time, Director Tang was both upset and heartbroken, and she started bleeding. When she went to the hospital for a checkup, she found out she was two months pregnant."
She was hospitalized for a week because of this, but the man took his anger out on her, making sarcastic remarks to her every day, saying that she was incompetent in keeping the baby and had also lost his other child.
From then on, the man gave Factory Director Tang a cold shoulder and used various excuses to take money to go out and have fun. But our Factory Director Tang was too sentimental and always remembered how good the man had been to her when they were in the countryside.
She always thought that if she treated that man better, he would change his mind and they could live happily ever after. But once a man has tasted the sweetness of the outside world, how could he possibly return to his family?
For so many years, Director Tang has been cleaning up the messes left by that man, spending a fortune on it. Even her parents died of grief.
Everyone in our factory felt sorry for her and thought it was unfair. We all thought Director Tang would just make do for the rest of her life, but for some reason, she suddenly had a change of heart before the Lunar New Year two years ago, and decisively divorced that man, kicking him out of the house.
At the time, everyone in our factory wanted to set off fireworks for three days to celebrate for her, but seeing the factory director's gloomy face every day, we all gave up.
But in the last six months, the factory manager has started smiling again, greeting us warmly every day when he comes to and from get off work. I only recently found out that our factory manager has found another partner.
Once, the man came to pick her up from get off work. I caught a glimpse of him from afar. He had a refined and scholarly appearance, wore glasses, and looked like a cultured person.
She looks like a perfect match for our factory manager... Hey? Speak of the devil, and he appears! Look across the street, there's our factory manager's new girlfriend.
As the gatekeeper spoke, he pointed to the other side of the road. Jiang Ruzhen, who was listening intently and happy for Sister Tang, casually turned her head to look.
She was stunned.
The man standing across the street was none other than her older brother, Jiang Zhengyu.
Jiang Ruzhen was dumbfounded. What a coincidence!
Rumor has it that Tang Jie's new boyfriend is actually her older brother?
this......
That's amazing!
What a small world! Who would have thought that after all these twists and turns, Sister Tang would become her new sister-in-law?
Jiang Ruzhen froze for a moment, unable to move.
Just then, the get off work bell rang, and the factory workers all walked out in groups.
Tang Mi, dressed in a stylish suit and walking out in leather shoes, saw Jiang Zhengyu in the distance and waved excitedly.
Many workers around saw this scene and started to jeer.
Tang Mi blushed slightly at first, but when she saw Jiang Zhengyu calmly smiling at her, she simply took his arm and waved goodbye to the workers.
Jiang Ruzhen only remembered to get up and chase after them when the two had almost disappeared from sight.
She hadn't quite processed what was happening yet, and followed behind the two of them somewhat absentmindedly, observing their every move.
The two walked arm in arm, chatting and laughing. Jiang Zhengyu asked something, and Tang Mi answered. He then bought two pieces of Dingsheng cake from a roadside stall and handed them to Tang Mi.
Tang Mi took the pastry and ate a couple of bites, then reached out to feed it to Jiang Zhengyu. Jiang Zhengyu took a bite without hesitation, but his expression was somewhat uncomfortable, probably because he thought the pastry was too sweet.
Tang Mi chuckled at his embarrassed expression. Jiang Zhengyu swallowed the pastry in his mouth and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of Tang Mi's mouth.
The two smiled at each other, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere.
Jiang Ruzhen's eyes reddened, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
She quickly raised her hand to wipe it away, realizing that she didn't know what was wrong with her lately; she was always prone to losing control of her emotions and crying uncontrollably.
She is nothing like the strong Jiang Ruzhen she used to be.
Not wanting to disturb her older brother and Tang Jie's private time, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind, "Little sister, what are you doing here?"
