"Go down?"
Lin Wei didn't quite understand.
Zhang Wei explained, "Many big bosses in cities, after making money, do one thing: renovate their houses in their hometowns. In the past, people would have the villagers do it, but as they make more and more money, they have their own requirements for the style of their houses in their hometowns."
“I can draw and make budgets. I’m originally from the countryside, and many people in my village do this kind of work. If I can bring them together and let them take on projects and do the work themselves, we’ll not only have a constant stream of work, but we can also be our own bosses and make money.”
Zhang Wei's idea is really good, and it's clear that he already has a very detailed plan, and it's not a spur-of-the-moment decision to resign.
“Since you have a plan, I won’t stop you. However, your relationship with Wang Ying… Of course, this is also a private matter. But if you continue to develop your career while Wang Ying stays in Jiangcheng, being separated for a long time might…”
"I broke up with Wang Ying this morning. Wang Ying is a very good girl, but I don't want to hold her back."
Lin Wei glanced at the other person twice and agreed.
"Alright."
Lin Wei readily signed the resignation form. There were only 3 days left in the month, but the Chinese New Year was only half a month away.
The building materials industry has long annual leave, from the first day of the lunar new year to the fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Lin Wei said, "There are still half a month left before the year-end bonus is received. So, at the end of the month, I will have the front desk transfer your salary and year-end bonus to your account together."
Zhang Wei was stunned, clearly not expecting that his year-end bonus would still be relevant to him even though he was about to leave the company.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, you are very kind."
"You're being kind. You could have taken your year-end bonus and stayed until next year. Since that's the case, let's part ways amicably."
She really didn't care about that little bit of money; there was no need to leave herself with a bad reputation.
Three days is enough time for Zhang Wei to hand over all his work.
As soon as the person left, Wang Ying went to her office.
"Weiwei, I broke up with him."
“I know, you’re good at keeping it to yourself. He told me the day he resigned.”
Wang Ying was taken aback, feeling uneasy.
"Sigh, my love that ended without a trace. Do you think he wouldn't have quit his job if I hadn't brought up marriage?"
"Of course not. He has a plan. He's probably been thinking about this for a long time. Boyuan is probably just a stepping stone for him. He'll study hard, go back to his hometown, and lead the villagers to prosperity. I really admire him." Lin Wei put down her pen and asked curiously, "Do you know where his hometown is? Is it very far away?"
"Far away my ass, it's right next door in Huangxian."
Lin Wei didn't react for a moment, "Where did you mean?"
"Huang County!"
"Damn, this is what you call my hometown? I thought it was in the north. You guys are too far apart to be together, so it turns out it's in the next county."
Zhang Yanyan's home is in Xinshi, which takes 4-5 hours to drive there.
Huangxian is sandwiched between Jiangcheng and Xinshi, and it takes no more than an hour to drive there.
It's an hour's drive, but sometimes Lin Wei doesn't even drive out of Jiangcheng, and Zhang Wei thinks it's too far?
"There's probably something fishy going on here. What kind of judgment do you have? What kind of people are you going to hire?"
"I didn't want to either. How would I know if the other person was a good person or a bad one if I didn't talk to them?"
“Okay.” Lin Wei asked again, “I don’t hear any Huangxian accent in his speech, and he also said he’s from Jiangcheng.”
“His aunt is from Jiangcheng. He went to school with his aunt since he was a child and only went home during holidays. It would be strange if his accent was not correct.”
Wang Ying sensed something was amiss in those words, and without even trying to persuade her to stay, she immediately agreed to break up.
"Weiwei, I feel like he's rushing back. I'm thinking of secretly driving over to check on him."
Lin Wei also wanted to go, but the conditions didn't allow it. "You can go if you want, but don't cause trouble. Send someone with you."
"Yan Yan has already promised me that she will go with me."
On the day of the Little New Year.
Neither of them went to work; they only called Lin Wei to ask for leave before driving there.
The two of them came back before they even finished their shift.
And Wang Ying's face was so sullen it was unbearable to look at.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wei asked.
"That Zhang Wei is a real scoundrel. Do you know why he resigned? He wasn't doing anything productive; he went back to get married."
"marry?"
Fearing Lin Wei wouldn't believe her, Zhang Yanyan said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either. When we got there, Zhang Wei was having a wedding with a girl, right there in their village."
"These two have probably been together for a while, otherwise the wedding would have started just a few days after he returned."
"You guys aren't causing trouble, are you?"
Zhang Yanyan glanced at Wang Ying and said irritably, "How could she not cause trouble? She has to be able to hold back. She started making a scene right there at someone's wedding. If I hadn't driven her away, she probably would have been beaten up by the villagers. They know where Wang Ying works, and I was worried that she would come here to cause trouble."
"No way. Zhang Wei is our classmate. He knows my background. If he dares to smear the company and cause trouble for me, he'll never be able to make it in this industry again, no matter how small the business is. But Yingying, you're different. What if someone causes trouble for you alone?"
“He dares to do it. I’m not afraid of him causing trouble. If he has the guts, let him come. I’ll beat him to death.”
"Alright, it's the Little New Year today. Once you get your year-end bonuses, you'll start your holiday. You guys should hurry up and go too. It's a wonder you managed to make it back after all that trip."
“It’s close.” Zhang Yanyan glanced at the other person. “I shouldn’t have looked. If I hadn’t agreed, none of this would have happened. But I was afraid you would agree…”
Zhang Yanyan glanced at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei was speechless. "Am I stupid? Going to the countryside to see someone else's ex-boyfriend while pregnant? Guess what Shen Jize will do when he finds out?"
The two were taken aback, and surprisingly, they gave each other a smile.
"Zhang Wei died an even more tragic death."
"Alright, you're not hurt, are you?"
No, no.
After receiving their year-end bonuses, the group left the company.
I thought that since the company was on holiday and I couldn't find anyone, the matter would be temporarily put on hold.
But who could accept that their wedding had been ruined like this? That very night, Zhang Wei took his new wife to Wang Ying's house to demand an explanation.
Wang Ying lived alone, but because she was already feeling uneasy, she got into a fight with the two men in a fit of anger.
No objections were raised, and Wang Ying was admitted to the hospital due to her injury.
After receiving the news, Zhang Yanyan called the police and hired a lawyer.
"You two broke up only a few days ago. Who is right and who is wrong is not determined by who is fierce. You beat someone up like this, and we will definitely hold you accountable. We will also have our lawyers draw up a list of the expenses you incurred during your relationship and make you return each item one by one."
Zhang Wei was stunned when he heard this. "That money was money she was willing to spend on me."
"You think we don't know just because we didn't do anything? You spent a lot of money on Wang Ying, didn't you? The house in your hometown was built with Wang Ying's money, wasn't it? You broke up with her just because Wang Ying stopped spending money on you. You want to be a gigolo but also want dignity? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
