When Xiang Nanzhi left the mall, he discovered that someone had punctured a hole in his tire.
"Who did this?"
She looked around; no one was around. She took a deep breath. "Who did this? How could they be so shameless?"
It's one thing to criticize her online, but why are there so many trolls jumping out to bite her in real life?
Xiang Nanzhi took out her phone, intending to call the driver to pick her up, when a car stopped in front of her and the window rolled down. "Nanzhi, get in the car quickly."
She saw it was Jiang Yao and refused, saying, "The driver will be back soon."
"Many people resent you now. These people are crazy and uncontrollable. You'd better come up here quickly."
Jiang Yao waved her hand, and Xiang Nanzhi then got into the car.
It started raining as soon as I stepped out of the mall.
Are you going back now?
"Yes, what are you doing here?"
“I heard you went out, and I was a little worried that you might be being watched.”
Jiang Yao sighed, "You're all alone without anyone with you. What are you going to do if you can't handle it?"
Xiang Nanzhi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Jiang Yao."
"No need to thank me. The day Song Ze broke up with me, I fainted at the Xiang family's door. You were the one who brought me in and even helped me recover."
Jiang Yao sighed, "I really feel now that men are unreliable at all, and best friends are much more reliable. I know I was wrong about what happened in the past. Zhizhi, can we still be best friends again?"
"I forgive you, I don't blame you."
“Zhizhi, actually, when I think about it now, Song Ze isn’t completely wicked. He just doesn’t like me.”
Xiang Nanzhi fell silent; she couldn't bear to hear any news about Song Ze.
It was only a matter of time before the news was suppressed. Two days later, the news had faded considerably. Shen Shixun was worried that she was in a bad mood, so he would go to Xiang's house every day after leaving the construction site to cook for her and keep her company.
That morning, Xiang Nanzhi was making bracelets alone in her studio when Xiang Ciyuan suddenly pushed open the door. Xiang Nanzhi was not alert and thought it was Ma Xiaorong.
"Coming in without knocking is a bit much."
Xiang Ciyuan was stunned. "What is this? What are you doing?"
"Second Brother!"
Xiang Nanzhi took a deep breath. "Why are you trying to scare people like that? You came in without saying a word?"
"Seeing how focused you are, I didn't want to disturb you, so I spoke up, didn't I?"
Xiang Nanzhi continued with her handicrafts, saying, "At this hour, you should be at work, right?"
"I must say, you're quite talented at this. You make things exquisite and beautiful."
"Of course, your sister isn't useless."
He sat down next to her and said, “You’re not useless, but you’re an idiot.”
"What?"
Xiang Nanzhi thought she had misheard, "Second brother, what you just said..."
"I'm telling you, you're an idiot! Dad's not here right now, and I want to yell at you!"
Xiang Nanzhi didn't want to talk to him anymore, so Xiang Ciyuan said again, "If you're not an idiot, you should stay away from Jiang Yao. She's no good."
“I don’t understand why you have such a big problem with her. You always disliked her when she lived at home before, even though she didn’t seem to have done anything to offend you.”
"It's all because of what happened between her and Song Ze. It's all in the past now. I don't like Song Ze at all."
"It's good that you don't like Song Ze, but it's stupid of you to still associate with Jiang Yao. That woman is too calculating."
Xiang Nanzhi turned off the instrument in front of him. "Second brother, Jiang Yao is actually very pitiful."
"She's pitiful? There are plenty of pitiful people, but the most difficult to deal with are those who are pitiful but have ulterior motives. You should stay away from her; she's a big problem."
“Song Ze broke up with her, and the Jiang family bullied her. If I remain indifferent and hold a grudge, and she does something crazy one day, I will become the straw that breaks the camel’s back.”
"Don't worry, Jiang Yao will never try to kill herself."
These words puzzled Xiang Nanzhi. "Second brother, do you have some kind of grudge against her? You seem to know her very well."
How could Xiang Ciyuan possibly explain such a thing to her in such detail?
Xiang Nanzhi found it increasingly strange. "She's my friend. I brought her to my house before, but you didn't have much contact with her. Yet you seem to have a lot of opinions about her."
"Would your second brother harm you? Isn't keeping you away from those bad people for your own good?"
“But I think even if Jiang Yao isn’t a good person, she can’t be called a bad person either.”
"You think you..."
Xiang Ciyuan was quite angry. "Zhizhi, I've said what I meant. If you don't believe me, then so be it."
"Second brother..."
Xiang Nanzhi called out to him, "Instead of worrying about me so much, you should focus on your career. I hope your project with Zhang Yandong will be successful. Good luck."
His younger sister is good in every way, except that she is too naive and innocent. However, the whole family, including himself, is not very willing to tell her anything negative.
Fortunately, Shen Shixun seems to be a good person so far, otherwise... if he dared to treat his sister badly, he would personally send him to meet the King of Hell.
Shen Shixun ran into the former foreman from the construction site and thought he was seeing things. He privately asked Zhang Yandong, "Who are those people...?"
"The newly hired helpers, I heard they work very hard."
"The project over there ended so quickly," Zhang Yandong asked him, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"without."
The man lit a cigarette. He was now in charge of the safety and construction progress of the entire project. Strictly speaking, even the foreman, Boss Zhang, who used to work on the same construction site, had to defer to him.
Just then, someone returned with the foreman and his team after taking a stroll around the construction site. "Wait a moment, I'll have Director Shen come over to meet you. You can start working today."
Construction work is all physically demanding; anyone with strength and the ability to endure hardship can do it.
Shen Shixun looked at the sun outside, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He saw Yang He there, along with his colleagues from the entire construction team.
I thought that after I resigned, we would go our separate ways for a while, but I didn't expect to see each other again so soon.
The foreman was stunned for a moment when the man came out. "Sehun, what are you doing here? Are you working on this construction site?"
Yang He and the others also greeted him.
Men's social circles are simple and pure; even after a quarrel, they can still drink, smoke, chat, and laugh.
Several people who had previously clashed with Shen Shixun came over to chat with him, asking, "How's it going here? Are you getting paid on time?"
Those who work on construction sites are all afraid of being owed wages.
"Will it be on time?"
"Well enough."
Shen Shixun took the cigarettes from their hands, and the foreman sneered, "So you've found a new construction site and don't recognize me as your old boss anymore? Don't forget that your mother was sick, and I was the one who gave you an advance on your wages."
"Of course I remember. I will always remember the kindness that Mr. Zhang has shown me."
After he came back, he was made to do a lot of extra work day and night, even being made to work as free labor to mix sand and cement, and he remembered it all.
"Hmph, this project was introduced to me by my relative. If you don't leave me, the benefits I offer here will definitely be better than if you came on your own."
"It's just a pity that you don't have that opportunity now..."
Mr. Zhang gave him a disdainful look. "Poor people have a narrow mind and are short-sighted."
