Chapter 239: Using Money to Overwhelm Her?
Jiang Ruzhen returned to the factory office, which connected to a bedroom specifically for her to rest.
She felt completely drained and stopped working. Instead, she went back to her bedroom, hid in the space, and took a relaxing bath in the spiritual spring.
After taking a bath, she took a nap in the space.
When I came out the next morning, I felt refreshed and alive again.
Thinking of Lu Mingzheng's madness yesterday, she shook her head with a wry smile.
Even though she was the one who received the most nourishment from the spiritual spring, her stamina was still insufficient when she was in front of Lu Mingzheng.
That guy, whether he was exceptionally gifted or divinely aided by the nourishing spring, was practically a tireless robot.
She felt physically exhausted from meeting them once every three days.
"Sigh!" Jiang Ruzhen sighed deeply. Should they change it to meeting once a week?
"Why are you sighing so early in the morning? Be careful not to sigh away all your good fortune." Tang Mi pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ruzhen sighing deeply.
"Sister Tang, why are you here so early? Is something important?"
"What important thing could I possibly have to do? It's just that the clothes at Treasure Pavilion are so popular that the workers need to work overtime, which is why I'm leaving early and returning late."
"To be honest, I kind of regret becoming the general manager. It's taken up so much of my time; I haven't even had time to go on dates with your older brother."
Jiang Ruzhen pursed her lips and smiled secretly. She never expected that a workaholic who always treated the factory as her home would complain that work was taking up her time.
"What's wrong? Has my older brother been complaining to you lately?"
"No, not at all." Tang Mi smiled sweetly as if she had remembered something, and then said to Jiang Ruzhen with a sigh.
"Girl, your brother has such a good temper. No matter how late I go to see him, he is always so kind and gentle, making me feel warm and considerate."
I don't know what your ex-sister-in-law was thinking, why she chose to be with another man and hurt such a good man.
Jiang Ruzhen was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and turned to look at Tang Mi, "My older brother told you everything?"
"Well, when we started dating, he told me all about his life story beforehand, although I wasn't really interested in hearing how good he was to his ex-wife..."
"Pfft!" Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but laugh, seeing the usually decisive and efficient career woman showing a jealous and envious expression like a little woman.
She found it somewhat incongruous and amusing, "Sister Tang, you're really into it..."
Tang Mi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.
"So what? Your older brother deserves my wholehearted devotion."
Jiang Ruzhen was quite moved by this, and she impulsively said, "Sister Tang, why don't you go on your date? I'll cover your shifts for a few days."
"Really? That's great. I knew you were a wonderful person." Before Jiang Ruzhen could react, Tang Mi hugged her and gave her a big kiss, then turned and quickly disappeared through the door.
"...I feel like I've been tricked..." Jiang Ruzhen touched her face, frowned and muttered.
However, since she had already promised her sister, she would naturally keep her word.
I spent the entire morning in the factory workshop.
During her lunch break, the security guard called her, saying that someone was looking for her at the gate.
Jiang Ruzhen thought Lu Mingzheng had arrived, and with a smile in her eyes, she quickly walked towards the door.
But when they got closer, they realized it wasn't Lu Mingzheng, but his mother.
"It's you? What's the matter?" Jiang Ruzhen's smile vanished, and she asked coldly.
Bai Jing clearly saw the change in Jiang Ruzhen's expression. To be honest, she had been pampered and fawned over for so many years, surrounded by people who fawned over her.
She hadn't seen anyone dare to give her the cold shoulder in a long time.
However, for the sake of her youngest son's happiness, she had to endure it.
Thinking of this, she gave a very polite smile and asked, "Comrade Jiang, what did you think of my son when you met him yesterday?"
Jiang Ruzhen said expressionlessly, "Not good at all. He's a slacker, a playboy, and doesn't speak properly. He's not my type."
In fact, Jiang Ruzhen wasn't wrong; that was her first impression of Lu Mingzheng.
It was because he was too alluring in appearance and spoke incoherently that she had a very bad first impression of him.
Bai Jing choked for a moment upon hearing this, and it took her a long time to recover before she spoke.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, sometimes we shouldn't focus too much on a person's appearance. Actually, my Xiao Zheng has many good qualities. He... he used to be an air force pilot, so his character is definitely up to standard..."
For a moment, Bai Jing really couldn't think of any good points about Lu Mingzheng. If he was good-looking, well, he was indeed too handsome, which didn't quite fit the current aesthetic standards.
While he might be considered hardworking, that brat really doesn't care much about the business; he's inconsistent in his efforts.
He often speaks in a way that hurts people's feelings; he's really out of touch with reality.
Having no other choice, she had to bring up Lu Mingzheng's most proud profession from the past, but this was somewhat against her will, making her tongue tied and her speech stammering.
"Air Force pilot? A soldier? That's a very good profession." Jiang Ruzhen nodded in agreement.
Just as Bai Jing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Jiang Ruzhen spoke up again, "But as you said, that was before. He was discharged from the army and could only inherit the family business now."
He just loafs around all day, I don't see any business acumen in him. It'll be a miracle if he doesn't squander the family fortune.
snort!
I'm so angry, so angry, so angry.
ah--
Bai Jing couldn't help but scream inwardly when she heard Jiang Ruzhen constantly belittling her son. She turned pale with anger and wished she could just turn around and leave.
But when she thought about how her youngest son had finally fallen for a young girl, besides that old woman, she couldn't bear to leave.
She was still hoping that this young girl would keep her son firmly by her side!
Bai Jing took a deep breath, her smile widening. "Comrade Xiao Jiang, you can't say that. My Xiao Zheng may not have known how to do business before, but he's really made rapid progress lately."
I was hospitalized for a while due to illness, and Xiao Zheng managed the company very well, so I didn't have to worry about anything.
So, people can change. If he genuinely likes you, why don't you give him a chance and try spending some time together?
Bai Jing thought she had let go of all her pride, but Jiang Ruzhen remained unmoved.
"No need, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out!"
After saying these words coldly, Jiang Ruzhen turned to leave, but Bai Jing quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
"Hey, don't go, don't go."
Jiang Ruzhen frowned and turned to look at Bai Jing, wondering what other tricks she was going to pull.
Bai Jing then took out an antique-looking wooden box from her bag. "Comrade Xiao Jiang, I was wrong yesterday."
I caused a huge scene just to see you, which negatively impacted the store. This is my apology to you. Do you like it?
Jiang Ruzhen opened the box that had been forcibly placed in her hand, and a jade bracelet lay quietly on the red velvet cloth.
Jiang Ruzhen also loves jade, but in her previous life she neither had the money nor the time to buy such things.
However, she had studied it seriously in private, considering the color, texture, clarity, and craftsmanship of jadeite. She concluded that this icy green jadeite bangle was second only to emerald and should be worth over ten thousand yuan.
She was somewhat alarmed, not expecting Bai Jing to be so generous. This wasn't an apology at all; it was clearly an attempt to shower her with money!
