Chapter 113 Resignation
After putting down the luggage, we headed north towards the canteen.
Fan Zhicheng was having dinner and chatting with his fellow disciples. From time to time, beautiful junior sisters came over to chat and greet him, which made Cai Qiang and others envious: "You are so lucky in love!"
Fan Zhicheng waved his hands, looking helpless: "The fallen flowers want to follow the flowing water, but the flowing water has no feelings for the fallen flowers."
Everyone laughed.
He strode towards the north and looked down at Fan Zhicheng.
Xiangbei was wearing a black jacket. He was tall and mighty, and the scar on his face made him look more fierce. This overwhelming aura was completely different from the elegant scholarly air. The graduate students who had just been laughing stopped smiling, looked at each other, and dared not speak.
"Fan Zhicheng." There was no fluctuation in Xiangbei's voice.
Fan Zhicheng has met Xiangbei. The first time she met Tao Nanfeng on campus, this tall man was standing next to her.
Fan Zhicheng stood up subconsciously, his throat feeling a little dry: "It's me, you are..."
Xiangbei glanced at everyone and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Xiangbei, Tao Nanfeng's lover."
spouse? Everyone was stunned. Is Tao Nanfeng already married?
Cai Qiang stood up quickly and extended his hand to shake Xiang Bei's. "Hello! We are both Tao Nanfeng's graduate school classmates. It's our first meeting. Nice to meet you!"
Xiangbei took out a bag of fruit candies from his pocket and gently placed them on the table in the cafeteria: "Here's a supplementary candy. Thank you classmates for taking care of Nanfeng."
"You're welcome. You're welcome." Everyone ate the fruit candies and accepted the fact that Tao Nanfeng was married with a smile.
Fan Zhicheng was so shocked that he didn't recover for a long time.
Tao Nanfeng is only in his early twenties and has a bright future, so why is he getting married? The man in front of her looked like a rough guy who was difficult to get along with. How could he get along with her harmoniously?
Xiangbei turned his gaze to Fan Zhicheng: "Tao Nanfeng is already married, please be careful about your words and actions in the future, and don't say things that cause misunderstanding."
Fan Zhicheng's face flushed red: "What do you mean? She gets married, what does it have to do with me?"
Cai Qiang tried to smooth things over: "Comrade Xiang, is there any misunderstanding here? We are all classmates. We usually take classes together and sometimes participate in mentor projects together. We are a large group of people together. There will not be anything inappropriate happening."
Xiang Bei smiled and said, "Fan Zhicheng has many romantic partners. Do you know Yao Xiaotao, a sophomore in the Department of Architecture?"
Xiang Bei, who had experienced the baptism of war, had a murderous aura on his body. Although he tried his best to restrain it, it was enough to make Fan Zhicheng terrified at this moment.
Fan Zhicheng felt guilty and knew that his secret had been exposed, so he was speechless.
Xiangbei continued, "Fan Zhicheng, Nanfeng has a kind heart, but I am different. I am not a scholar, so I don't have so many scruples. Don't force me to take action."
Fan Zhicheng looked up suddenly, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with light.
Take action? How to take action? He only announced to the public that he had a crush on Tao Nanfeng, but he did not confess his feelings or interfere in her marriage. What should Xiang Bei do?
As if he heard Fan Zhicheng's thoughts, Xiang Bei sneered, leaned close to his ear, and said something in a very low voice.
As soon as he said this, Fan Zhicheng's face suddenly turned pale.
Xiangbei glanced at him with disdain and turned away.
Fan Zhicheng sat down in the chair, his whole body seemed to be in a trance, and those words kept echoing in his ears -
"You don't like women at all, don't force me to say it."
Fan Zhicheng now has only one thing left in his mind: How did Xiangbei know? How did he know? No, no, no, you can’t let others know!
Only after they walked far to the north did the group feel that they could breathe more easily.
Cai Qiang saw Fan Zhicheng sitting there in a daze, looking really pitiful, so he kindly patted his arm and comforted him: "It's okay, Tao Nanfeng's lover is gone. Now that she is married, you should stop liking her, so as not to destroy their relationship."
Fan Zhicheng suddenly jumped up with a cry and looked at Cai Qiang anxiously, as if he was carrying a virus.
The classmates all thought that Fan Zhicheng’s reaction was a bit exaggerated.
"Oh, why are you so nervous?"
"Yes, you didn't know Tao Nanfeng was married before, so there was nothing wrong with you having a crush on her. Now you just need to turn back from your wrong path."
"Tao Nanfeng is married, and her lover is obviously a powerful person. Don't mess with her again in the future."
Fan Zhicheng's wandering heart finally settled down. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you. I understand."
When Xiangbei returned home, Liang Yinzhen scolded him, "This kid ran out right after entering the house. He didn't even take a shower first. Hurry up and clean up. We can eat when Nanfeng's dad comes back."
Tao Nanfeng stared at Xiangbei and asked, "Did you go and warn him?"
Xiangbei laughed and put his arm around her shoulders: "Yes, I saw him in the cafeteria. I distributed wedding candies to your classmates and had a chat with him. Don't worry, he won't dare to use you as a shield anymore."
Tao Nanfeng asked: "Will he listen?"
Xiangbei said: "He has a secret, which I happen to know."
Tao Shouxin happened to return home at this time, and when he heard the last part, he asked, "What secret?"
Xiangbei hesitated for a moment and told the whole story.
He is the director of Xiufengshan Farm. He heard a piece of gossip when he went to a meeting at the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau this year.
It was said that a certain field director fell in love with a handsome educated youth and raped him and tortured him for several years. Unexpectedly, the young man found a rural girl to marry and managed to escape his clutches. Later, after being admitted to graduate school, a letter of denunciation was submitted and the field director was brought down.
This story sounded familiar, and Xiangbei even said at the time: "This educated youth is also pitiful."
The other party curled his lips and said, "Why should I feel sorry for her? I heard that this beautiful educated youth didn't like women in the first place. I wonder how many men she has hooked up with behind her back."
After hearing what Xiang Bei said, Tao Shouxin and Tao Nanfeng looked at each other, not knowing whether they should hate Fan Zhicheng or sympathize with him.
The rumors may not be true, but Fan Zhicheng is really miserable.
Whether he likes men or was forced is his personal privacy. Tao Shouxin and his daughter have always respected people and would not say much.
I just hope that he can focus on studying and work hard in the future, and not waste Tao Shouxin’s original intention of “recruiting talents regardless of their background”.
Tao Shouxin sighed and said, "Just say this behind closed doors. Don't spread it outside. Although Xiao Fan is a little narrow-minded and not a very kind person, after all... Oh! Don't ruin someone's future."
Tao Nanfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I promise not to tell anyone."
Xiangbei saw that the father and daughter were of the same opinion and knew that they were both kind-hearted and reasonable people who would not do anything to beat a man when he was down.
Such people are easily bullied by bad people.
Thinking of this, Xiangbei made up his mind and took a deep breath: "Dad, Nanfeng, I am going to resign from the position of director and open a cigarette wholesale department in Jiangcheng."
Including Liang Yinzhen, everyone exclaimed "Ah!" and all eyes were focused on Xiang Bei.
Xiufengshan Farm was developed by Xiangbei. After much difficulty in mining phosphate and opening a tobacco factory, it was a time of rapid development. It takes a lot of courage to quit the position of director at this time!
Tao Nanfeng was the first to react: "If you don't become the farm manager, what will happen to the farm? We all elected you as the farm manager because we wanted you to lead everyone to live a good life."
Xiangbei stroked her head and said softly, "You are in Jiangcheng, my parents are in Jiangcheng, what's the point of me being alone on the farm? It's lively and harmonious for the family to be together, right?
Now that the farm affairs are on the right track, I recruited Gao Deshun from Congde County Cigarette Factory to be the farm director. I put Wang Qingxi in charge of office work. I promoted Yang Gong to be the farm director and Zhou Linhu to be the deputy farm director. I then closed the phosphate mine and eliminated the safety hazards. With the tobacco factory and tea oil factory generating income, everyone's life will get better and better. ”
When Tao Shouxin heard this, he was both moved and a little guilty.
"Xiangbei, you are a man, are you going to give up your career like this? If you return to Jiangcheng, you will have no foundation at all and you will have to start from scratch..."
Originally, Xiangbei was the boss of the farm and everything was under his control.
But Xiangbei married Nanfeng. In order to support Nanfeng's career, Xiangbei first asked his parents to move to Yuanhou Village. Now he gave up his position as the director and prepared to come to Jiangcheng to open a small cigarette wholesale department. How could Tao Shouxin not be moved by such a spirit of dedication?
Tao Nanfeng knew that Xiangbei wanted to be with him, his eyes were slightly red, and he held his hand for a long time before saying: "Is it worth it?"
Xiangbei smiled slightly, squeezed her palm, and said softly: "It's worth it."
Liang Yinzhen and Xiang Yongfu didn't think too much about it. When they heard that their son decided to return to Jiangcheng, Liang Yinzhen said, "It's good for you to come back, so I don't have to worry about you. It will be more lively at home with more people to eat with."
Xiang Yongfu also said: "Yes, you are alone in the mountains, your mother and I are always thinking about you."
Xiangbei held Tao Nanfeng's hand and sat on the chair. Seeing tears in her eyes, as if she felt guilty about his sacrifice, he analyzed the matter with her seriously.
"You are a graduate student, the most educated person in our family, and your future is limitless. Since I promised to fully support your career, I naturally cannot live apart from you like this.
I am a man. Even if I start from scratch, I can still make a name for myself. Besides, if I don’t achieve anything, won’t you still be there to support me? ”
When Tao Nanfeng heard him say this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, I'll support you."
Tao Shouxin solemnly stated: "Xiangbei, if you need my support, just ask. Whether it's money or connections, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Xiangbei smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad. I am satisfied with your words."
Liang Yinzhen brought the food to the table, and Tao Nanfeng served Xiangbei a bowl of chicken soup.
Xiangbei took it with a smile and said, "I will stay in Jiangcheng this month to run the procedures for selling cigarettes in other places. I will go back to hand over the work after everything is done here."
Liang Yinzhen thought to herself that if Xiangbei stayed at home, the family would soon have a new baby. She was immediately delighted and said, "It's better to stay at home and spend more time with Nanfeng."
The family ate dinner in harmony and happily.
In the blink of an eye, it was early winter, and Xiangbei completed all the procedures. He started working as a salesman, carrying Xiufeng brand cigarettes everywhere and delivering them to tobacco, alcohol and grocery stores and tobacco and alcohol counters in department stores.
Right now is a time when supplies are in short supply. Xiufengshan cigarettes are of excellent quality and reasonably priced, so they were well received as soon as they were put on the shelves and quickly opened up the market.
Things started to get busy heading north.
