202: I am thick-skinned and not afraid of gossip
I thought Director Zhou would be angry or embarrassed when he heard this question, but Director Zhou still looked at Yu Xiaoye softly, smiled slightly, and said seriously:
"A cute, smart, funny one."
Wow, the manager is so good at pretending!
Even though he has no ability, he still wants to marry someone who is cute, smart and interesting.
This is like discussing with others which villa is good when you don't have much money in your pocket, as if you can really afford it.
Yu Xiaoye said with some rudeness:
"Director, it's probably not easy to find someone this smart, cute and interesting at your age."
Zhou Ziheng's face darkened:
"My age, what's wrong with my age?"
“——” Yu Xiaoye didn’t say anything, but his expression was very clear.
Zhou Ziheng asked with a somewhat hurt look:
"Am I old?"
Yu Xiaoye noticed that the director's expression was not right, and knew that he was too rude, so he quickly said against his conscience:
"—Not old, not old at all."
For a field manager, this age is indeed not old, it can be said to be very young. There are probably not many people who can reach such a high position at the age of 30.
However, in the heart of an eighteen-year-old girl, thirty years old, my God, there are four generations gap, and it feels like they are no longer of the same generation!
If you meet him on the street, you can call him "big brother" politely, or "uncle" if you are not polite.
Especially since this thirty-year-old man is also a field manager. This identity adds a sense of vicissitudes of life to his already not-so-young age. For Yu Xiaoye, a rookie with little social experience, the distance is extremely far.
Zhou Ziheng had a gentle smile on his face just now, but after hearing what Yu Xiaoye said, the smile on his face disappeared - he inexplicably felt like he had been shot in the heart.
He instantly returned to his role as the director and asked in an investigative tone:
"You said that your parents lost their memories after my car hit them?"
"Yes."
"You were going to run away alone?"
"right."
Zhou Ziheng snorted coldly:
"You're quite courageous. You dared to escape alone in an unfamiliar place."
"Even if I have to beg for food outside, it's better than marrying a fool, right?"
"Begging for food?" Zhou Ziheng snorted again, "You have no idea how dangerous this world is, little girl."
"???" Yu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment and said, "Director, you seem to have gone off topic."
Zhou Ziheng also realized that he had gone a bit too far and was about to return to the topic, but Yu Xiaoye's tone suddenly softened and he said with a pleading tone:
"But, Captain, although my parents were pretty bad guys before, they've become completely different people since they lost their memories. They love me very much now and treat me well. They won't marry me off to a fool again, so don't blame them."
Zhou Ziheng recalled Yu Jiahui's grin as he pinched Li Dasong's neck, and Xu Ying's image of pouring dung with a dung bucket, and nodded with relief:
"I know."
"So, Director, you see, although things are a little strange, they are not complicated at all. I don't know why they don't remember what happened in the past, but the truth is that it is so mysterious."
Zhou Ziheng still just nodded and believed her words.
Yu Xiaoye suddenly remembered something:
"Oh, yes, this!"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaoye quietly turned his head and took a peek out the window. Seeing that no one was watching outside the window, he carefully took something out of his jacket pocket.
He took it out and quickly and mysteriously stuffed it into Zhou Ziheng's arms, fearing that people outside would see anything.
"Manager, your work ID was inside the clothes you borrowed from me last time. I'll return it to you first. It's inconvenient to take the clothes out now, so I'll give them to you separately next time. However, if you need to wear them urgently and aren't afraid of gossip, I can go home and get them for you right now."
"Gossip? You're thinking a lot right now. What are you afraid of people saying about you?"
"Manager, I'm not afraid of people gossiping about me. I don't care. I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of what people say. I'm afraid that people will gossip about you and it will be bad for your reputation."
Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but smile, and he picked up his work ID.
The work permit still had the girl's body temperature on it. Zhou Ziheng subconsciously rubbed it in his palm, enjoying the gentle touch brought by the warmth, and said calmly:
"I'm not afraid of gossip, but you can return the clothes later. I'm not in a hurry to wear them."
"Well, I'll pay you back next time I go to the county town. Thank you for what happened last time, Director."
As Yu Xiaoye spoke, his face felt slightly hot for some reason.
Zhou Ziheng looked up and saw Yu Xiaoye's cheeks flushed. He couldn't help but stare at her for a few more seconds, but said sternly:
"Remember, this will never happen again. You are not allowed to enter another man's room casually, and you absolutely cannot sleep in another man's room! Remember?"
"Yeah, I'll remember." Yu Xiaoye looked obedient.
"Also, your family is now in conflict with the Ninth Company. Do you want me to transfer you to another company, farther away from them?"
Yu Xiaoye shook his head vigorously, feeling flattered:
"Thank you for your kindness, Director. We have finally settled down here and have our own house. My mom just started raising some chickens and planting a vegetable garden. Now everything is taken care of. We have also made some friends here. We like this place very much and don't want to move anymore."
Hearing her say this, Zhou Ziheng was quite relieved:
"Since you don't want to move away, then stay here. I'll take care of the Ninth Company's affairs for you."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziheng put his work ID card, which no longer had the girl's body temperature, into his pocket and said:
"Go and call those people over."
"Who?"
"I was just about to praise you for being smart, but you acted stupid again. Of course it's your dad, and Li Xinchun and his son.
, Captain Yang also called over, and several cadres from your company, including the director of women's affairs.
"oh oh!"
Yu Xiaoye went out and quickly called everyone over.
The captain, deputy captain, instructor, women's director, and Jia Song of the Eighth Company, as well as Yu Jiahui and Yu Xiaoye, father and daughter, and Li Dasong and Li Xinchun, father and son.
Standing in the room.
"Sit down."
Zhou Ziheng habitually spoke in a meeting tone.
Several people found seats, but the parties involved did not sit down. They all stood, as if ready to fight again at any time.
Zhou Ziheng placed his hands on the table, fingers interlaced. Unlike the casual manner in his private conversation with Yu Xiaoye just now, Zhou Ziheng now turned into the director of Mishan Farm again. His slightly furrowed brows contained a sense of dominance and steadiness:
"I've already made sure of the situation, so I won't go into the details. I'll just say this: throughout the Great Northern Wilderness Production and Construction Corps, and especially at Mishan Farm, we've always advocated for freedom of marriage. No one may force a person into marriage against their will for any reason. Yu Xiaoye, are you willing to marry into the Ninth Company?"
"No!"
"Since Yu Xiaoye herself doesn't want to marry him, no one can coerce her for any reason, including her parents."
Hearing this, Li Dasong was obviously dissatisfied and wanted to say something else.
Zhou Ziheng gave Li Dasong a look with a powerful aura, and Li Dasong immediately wilted again.
