Chapter 119: Just Curious, Don't Think Too Much
Ever since Zhang Feng brought someone to propose marriage, Tian Xin has been telling Zhang Feng, both openly and covertly, that the two of them are not suitable. But for some reason, this man always takes the initiative to challenge her bottom line.
She had endured it once or twice, and when they met today, she thought he had let it go, but she didn't expect that he was still holding on to it.
If she doesn't explain things clearly in front of Li Baiwan now, who knows what rumors will spread tomorrow!
Even if I offend him completely this time, it's better than being in such an unclear state forever!
These two sentences were really a slap in the face, and they were quite harsh. The two people on the opposite side were a little embarrassed.
Li Baiwan saw that the atmosphere was awkward and quickly said, "Oh, it's my fault. I was a little rude today, Xiaotian, please don't mind! You young people nowadays are different from us back then. You all have your own opinions. I understand! I'm sorry!"
"No, no!" Tian Xin responded.
Li Baiwan held the cup and kept drinking tea to ease the embarrassment.
Zhang Feng didn't say anything. He was still immersed in the words he had just said.
What does it mean to be unable to bear it?
What does it mean to have no thoughts?
All excuses!
It seems that his guess was right, Tian Xin and that Lin Zhou are definitely related!
She looked down on Zhang Shuai because he had no ability, but Lin Zhou drove a Mercedes Benz and looked very noble, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
If they had nothing to do with each other, would he protect her like that? And how dare she threaten him? Humph! Why is she pretending to be so noble?
He had originally thought of taking a gamble, believing she wouldn't directly reject Li Baiwan's face in front of the factory director. But this woman was so direct, turning her face on him without a second thought! She didn't even give him a single ounce of face!
He speculated secretly for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "Forget it, just treat it as a joke!"
He smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't have any ability and am not worthy of Tian Xin. She has better choices, so why would she be interested in me?"
Before Tian Xin could speak, he continued, "I know what you're thinking. It doesn't matter! Let's just be friends from now on!"
Without waiting for their reaction, he turned around and smiled at Li Baiwan: "Director, thank you! You and Auntie are so enviable. It's a pity that I haven't met the person who will marry me. But I believe there will be one! I'm not bad either, right?"
He talked for a long time without Tian Xin and Li Baiwan having a chance to interrupt.
Hearing this, Li Baiwan quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "That's right! Our Zhang Feng is a handsome man, no less! Well, I've seen that you've done a great job in the past six months. In a few days, when the transfer is settled, you can go and manage production for us, and I'll give you a raise!"
"Thank you, Director! I'll be on my way there first, you're busy!"
He had already said almost everything he needed to say, and Li Baiwan had even promised him something. He knew that staying any longer would only make things more awkward, so he said goodbye and left the office.
Before leaving, he glanced at Tian Xin, who was slowly peeling an orange without even raising his eyes.
He opened the door and strode out.
Tian Xin didn't completely relax until she heard the door close as he left.
She put down the mess of orange peels in her hand and sighed softly.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Li Baiwan asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"What else?" She raised her head and smiled, "You're really amazing! You're just playing matchmaker here without even asking me. Now, you've made me the bad guy for no reason!"
"Hehe!" Li Baiwan smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry! I was a little presumptuous just now! But you are too blunt, kid. I've told you so many times, why don't you change?"
"I can't change it!" she laughed. "It's deeply ingrained! Besides, if I don't act decisively, I'll just be wasting my time!"
The tea in the cup had gone cold. She took a sip and felt it was cold, so she took the cup out and poured it under the tree.
When she came back, Zhang Yuan had already brewed a new cup for her. She put a piece of orange peel in it, closed the lid and waited for the aroma to dissipate.
"What are you doing?" Li Baiwan was a little puzzled when he saw her putting orange peel into the teacup.
"Dried tangerine peel, soak it in water to relieve coughs!" She picked up a piece and asked, "Do you want some?"
Li Baiwan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't drink it!"
Zhang Yuan came over and said, "Sister, I have some dried ones here. Do you want some?"
"want!"
Zhang Yuan took a bag and went out. After a while, he handed her a bag of orange peels: "Sister, here!"
She took the orange peel, thanked him, and put it on the table.
Li Baiwan saw that she had finished her work, so he came over and asked, "Tell me, do you really not like Zhang Feng, or do you already have a partner?"
Ah Xi! It's been a long time, and he still hasn't forgotten?
Tian Xin was speechless! How could Li Baiwan look like a boss right now? He was completely different from when he was cursing people in the meeting this morning.
"Uncle, I'm only a little old. There's still plenty of time. Don't worry!"
Li Baiwan saw that she was unwilling to talk, and he felt that it was meaningless. Thinking of her saying that she had something to do, he quickly changed the subject. He almost forgot about it after Zhang Feng interrupted him.
"You just said something happened? What is it? Tell me!"
"Director, do we have outsourced truck drivers in our factory?" she asked mysteriously.
Outsourcing? Why do you ask?
Li Baiwan frowned: "Ah, yes! What's the matter?"
"How many?"
"Five, I think?"
"Why outsource? Is it because there aren't enough drivers or cars?"
“…”
Li Baiwan put down his cup and looked at Tian Xin thoughtfully: "Why are you asking this?"
He felt a little guilty. It was as if Xiaotian had a magical power in his mouth. Every time he asked a question, there would be some problems. He was afraid!
Tian Xin thought he minded asking these questions, and explained: "Just asking!"
"That's not right?" He leaned forward on the table. "Tell me, what new problem have you found?"
"No! How could there be so many questions? I'm just curious!" Tian Xin said with a smile.
"Oh! That's good!" Li Baiwan leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked calm and composed.
Seeing him relax, Tian Xin hesitated for a moment and then asked, "How did these cars get into the factory? Who recruited them?"
Li Baiwan swung his legs and said, "Two of them are relatives of Section Chief Liu, and the other three are Zhang Feng's guys!"
"There are a lot of relatives in the factory now!" Tian Xin said with a smile: "Everyone's relatives."
She smiled strangely and a little nonchalantly.
Li Baiwan knew what she was going to say when he saw her like this, and he immediately explained: "It can't be helped. The factory needs people. They introduced us and we know them well. As long as we don't do anything wrong, it's okay."
"I don't mind, why do you want to explain?"
"Then why are you asking this?"
OK! The wheels are turning again!
She sighed. "Forget it, I won't beat around the bush. So, just tell me, how are these outsourced and in-house vehicles managed? What's the workflow? Uh... I'm just curious, don't overthink it!"
This statement was actually half true and half false! She was indeed curious, but it was more than just curiosity. This factory had to ship thousands of tons of goods every day, and there were only dozens of trucks.
There are all kinds of people here, and every leader has one or two relatives. If someone with a sharp mind sneaks in, then things won't be easy, right?
This factory must continue to operate so that the villagers can live in peace. If these people are allowed to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble, if the factory goes bankrupt, the villagers will have to pay the price.
She would not allow this to happen, so there could not be any doubt.
“…”
After hearing her question, Li Baiwan was silent for a while.
After a moment, he sat up straight and leaned forward: "Okay, since you are curious, I will tell you..."
