Gu Baoshan was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"Senior Gu, am I causing you any trouble by coming here?"
Gu Baoshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You think too much. You came all the way to see me, how can it be a trouble? To be honest, it's because I didn't take good care of you. The conditions here are not good, and you have suffered."
"Senior Gu, please don't say that. In order to keep my family calm, I let you pretend to be my boyfriend. If you hadn't written to my family from time to time and sent money to others, they would have gone to school long ago." Gao Jing bit her lower lip and lowered her head. "Senior, I'm sorry. From the time we met until now, I have been bothering you, but I can't help you at all. I wanted to come to see you during the summer vacation, but I'm still causing you trouble."
"I volunteered to help you write letters home. You don't have to feel guilty. As for the money I sent to your family, it's not much. You know I just started working and I have to take care of my family too."
"Senior Gu, please don't say that. Besides, I really don't have the face to see you. I asked you for help and asked you to take money."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Baoshan said, "Ji Ling is here this afternoon. Do you want to go meet her?"
Gao Jing raised her head abruptly, "Ji Ling is here?"
"Her husband works here and came here during last winter break." When Gu Baoshan said this, he couldn't help but think of what happened last winter. He paused and didn't say anything more. "If you want to see her, forget it."
"Ji Ling and I have always had a bad relationship when we were in school. If she knew that I came here to visit you without permission, she would probably think too much. It's okay with me, but I'm afraid it will affect you. You are young and promising, and you are valued by the higher-ups now. I don't know how many people want to take you back and make you their son-in-law."
"Don't make fun of me. Although I have a good job, I am often away on business trips. How can local families be willing to marry their daughters to outsiders like us?" Speaking of marriage, Gu Baoshan also said a few more words, showing helplessness. "I don't want to think about personal problems now. Let's work for a few years and then talk about it."
If you can be promoted to a high position, you naturally won't have to worry about this.
Gao Jing also heard the hidden meaning of the words, but she smiled and pretended not to understand.
Gu Baoshan couldn't stay long, so he sat for a while and then went out to do something. Before leaving, he said that he would come over later to bring her some food.
Gao Jing opened her mouth but couldn't help herself. "Senior, can you please not tell Ji Ling that I'm here? I want to take a break these few days. I'll go see her in a few days. I'm afraid she'll make trouble if she knows I'm here and I haven't gone over to say hello."
Gu Baoshan agreed readily. He also understood the relationship between the two, and he also saw the worry on Gao Jing's face.
However, Ji Ling had already learned from Zhu Weidong that Gao Jing was coming.
After the two of them had an intimate moment, Ji Ling didn't even have the strength to lift her arms. With her eyes closed and her mind dazed, she heard Zhu Weidong talking to her.
Hearing Gao Jing coming over, she perked up, "Looking for Gu Baoshan?"
Zhu Weidong hugged the person, closed his eyes, and hummed softly.
He didn't care about these things, but whenever a woman came to the camp, it would attract discussion. Gao Jing was his wife's classmate, so Zhu Weidong started to pay some attention after hearing these words.
Ji Ling closed her eyes again, thinking that Gao Jing had nothing to do with her and whatever she did was Gao Jing's own business, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The couple slept until dark. Zhu Weidong got up and saw that his wife was still sleeping. He did not disturb her, but tiptoed off the kang and went to the kitchen of the camp.
"Master Wang, go back and have a rest. I'll make the noodles."
Master Wang wanted to refuse, but then he thought that the couple had been separated for so long, and as a husband he naturally wanted to show some affection, so he agreed with a smile.
Before leaving, Master Wang joked, "When the accounting department saw your wife coming, they followed the aroma and found the kitchen. They had already eaten hot noodle soup today."
Zhu Weidong nodded with a smile and watched Master Wang leave. As for what Master Wang said, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Zhu Weidong made the authentic old BJ fried noodles. The aroma wafted out when the fried noodles were halfway done.
The people in the camp had already eaten, and since it was hot in the summer, no one had much appetite. But at this moment, they were tempted by the aroma and couldn't help swallowing.
There were not many people in the camp at night. After a busy day, everyone gathered outside to enjoy the cool air and chat. The fragrance wafted out. Someone saw Master Wang and couldn't help asking a few questions. When they heard that it was Zhu Weidong who was cooking, the topic turned to Engineer Zhu and his wife.
"Engineer Zhu usually looks cold, but last time I could see that he loves his wife. Today, I saw that he even cooked for her. There aren't many good men like him."
"Accountant Chi, you and Engineer Zhu are classmates. What do the people around you who know Engineer Zhu think of him?"
Chi Fangping held a palm leaf fan and smiled, "I dare not say more about this. If it gets out, people will think I am talking about Zhu Weidong behind his back."
Everyone present called him Engineer Zhu, except Chi Fangping, who was called by his name, so that it was easy to tell how far away he was.
These people usually work with Zhu Weidong, and they have been together for almost a year, but they are not close. They call everyone Engineer Zhu, but Chi Fangping calls him by his name.
Chi Fangping enjoyed the envious looks of her colleagues. She certainly understood this. Zhu Weidong was an engineer, but he was almost the one who made the decisions here. Even the director had to seek his opinion on any decision.
Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with such a famous person who has power in his hands?
A sneer sounded in the darkness. The mockery in it was particularly obvious, and everyone looked over.
Lian Qizhen walked out from the darkness. It seemed like she had been standing in the darkness for a long time and had heard everything everyone said.
Who wouldn't understand that the chief engineer liked Engineer Zhu, and the news had spread privately? Everyone had just been talking about how caring Engineer Zhu was about his lover, so naturally he felt embarrassed when he saw Chief Engineer Qi.
Naturally, there were also people who came to watch the fun, such as Chi Fangping.
She smiled and said, "When did the engineer come back? You haven't eaten yet, right? Zhu Weidong is cooking now, you are in for a treat."
He stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to check. Zhu Weidong shouldn't be making just one person's meal. It should be okay for him to bring out one more person's meal."
