In the hospital corridor, Guo Jing stood at the door of the ward, smoking a cigarette with a frown on his face.
After a while, the door of the ward opened.
Guo Jing quickly threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped on it twice.
"Mom, how is my dad?"
"Much better." Mrs. Guo said tiredly, "My appetite this morning is better than yesterday, and my complexion looks better too."
Guo Jing couldn't help looking into the door and muffled his voice: "Mom, Dad still doesn't want to see me? Have you told him that I come to see him every day?"
"I did." Mrs. Guo sighed helplessly, "But he would frown whenever he heard your name, so I dared not say anything more. Ah Jing, you really pissed off your father this time."
Guo Jing lowered his eyes and whispered, "Mom, I...I really know I was wrong."
"What can you do if you know?" Mrs. Guo glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Your father is so angry that he has asked the Human Resources Department to demote you. You will be transferred to the Security Department next week. Son, do you know that you made a terrible mistake this time? You have lost both your wife and your army."
Guo Jing helped her sit down and said humbly, "Mom, please stop talking about me. My dad refuses to pay attention to me, and you have a gloomy face all day long. The house is so deserted upstairs and downstairs that it doesn't feel like home. I've been regretting it these past few days."
Mrs. Guo has always been soft-hearted. She quickly put on a loving mother's face and held her son's hand.
"Your father is still angry right now, so he won't forgive you two easily. Wait a little longer, and I'll plead for you."
Guo Jing nodded miserably.
The mother felt sorry for her son and hurriedly coaxed him, "As long as your father is still the factory director, he can transfer you anywhere with just a word. It's not that difficult. As long as you can make him happy, everything will be easy. You are his only son, who else can he care about if not you?"
"That's right." Guo Jingjing finally regained a little bit of his vitality and said earnestly: "Mom, tell Dad more about my good points. I have been working very hard recently, working early and leaving late, and I never dare to slack off even a little bit."
Mrs. Guo smiled lovingly and whispered, "That's right. Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight, and parents won't have true hatred for each other one day."
After a pause, she asked, "By the way, have you collected all the things in the first floor?"
"It's almost done. There are quite a lot of things." Guo Jing replied with a twinkle in his eyes.
Mrs. Guo explained, "Someone is coming to help make curtains today, and we've ordered a brand new set of bedding, which will be delivered in two days. Don't run around after get off work, help clean up the house. I'll make some pumpkin porridge for your dad this afternoon, and I'll go back after he rests."
"Okay." Guo Jing agreed quickly.
Mrs. Guo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you talked to that...Qin Tiantian?"
"Ah?" Guo Jing's eyes dimmed and he whispered, "I've been very busy these days and have only met her once. Dad is still in the hospital, so I don't have the mood to get married."
Mrs. Guo couldn't help but get angry when she mentioned Qin Tiantian: "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have ended up in such a mess! If it weren't for her, your dad wouldn't have had to lie in bed for so many days! This woman is so unlucky!"
Guo Jing buried his head and dared not say anything.
Mrs. Guo finally suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, this matter has to be handled quickly. Tell her family and send two hundred yuan as a betrothal gift. By the way, you can't take everything your father said seriously. Her family will be eager to come to our house as soon as they hear it. Don't let her parents come, and it's best if none of them come, so as to avoid trouble. I have already ordered some wedding candies, and I will give them to close relatives and friends in time. Just tell them."
"...Oh! Okay!" Guo Jingzhi nodded.
Mrs. Guo continued, "I will ask someone to pick a good day tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and prepare a banquet for our family. As for what the woman needs to prepare, you can discuss it with her. We are so far away, and the customs are different. Don't think we can follow her traditional way."
"Okay." Guo Jingxin responded hesitantly.
Mrs. Guo was worried that her son was spending too much money, so she reminded him, "Make her a red dress and red shoes, but don't make it too flashy or troublesome. The most important thing is to take good care of the baby in your belly, don't make it too fancy."
"Oh." Guo Jing answered perfunctorily.
At this moment, the sound of high heels came from the other side of the corridor!
"My cousin is here." Guo Jing glanced at her lazily and called out, "Sister."
Guo Jiayue responded lazily and stuffed the fruits in the net bag to Mrs. Guo.
"Aunt, my uncle still won't see me? You have to tell him that I come to see him every day, without missing a day."
Mrs. Guo sighed and shook her head: "He was mad at you. It was fine if he didn't say anything, but his face darkened as soon as he started talking."
"Really!" Guo Jiayue sat down depressed.
Mrs. Guo stood up while twisting the fruit. "I'm going to go out and buy some things. You guys should go to work if you need to. Don't hang around here."
The two of them answered yes obediently.
Watching his mother leave, Guo Jing immediately changed his expression.
"Sister, what's going on? Does Gu Qi have any fox tails he can step on?"
Guo Jiayue rolled her eyes and snorted, "Besides drawing and designing, that guy didn't do anything else at the time. He made great contributions at the beginning, and was later transferred to study by the provincial government. He has made many contributions - it's not easy to deal with him!"
"I just don't believe it!" Guo Jing said coldly: "He has done so much work at Gu Qi's factory, it is impossible that there are no mistakes!"
That hypocrite Gu Qi is always being mysterious, relying on his ability to produce a few design drawings to gain the trust and respect of his grandfather, as if he is very great!
This time, Gu Qi's sister actually ruined his good fortune, causing him to be demoted and transferred, and he lost all his face and dignity!
Let's settle all the old and new grudges together! We must not let the Gu family off easily this time!
Guo Jiayue was a little helpless and explained: "He is engaged in ship machinery design. As long as those complicated things don't go wrong, he is not wrong. In addition, the provincial government has been giving him a special allowance since last month - that is a special allowance that only experts can enjoy. Our factory is the only one that has it!"
"Really? Who sent it to him?" Guo Jing asked in a sour tone, "Which department?"
Guo Jiayue glanced at him and answered, "The provincial government. I don't know which department it is, but I only know that he is the only one in our factory who can get such a special allowance. It is remitted from the provincial government in the middle of every month, about thirty yuan."
Guo Jing was so angry that his teeth itched and he whispered, "I just don't believe it..."
"Hey." Guo Jiayue held his arm and whispered, "Ah Jing, don't blame me for not reminding you. You can do whatever you want to others, but you really can't touch Gu Qi. Don't you think about it? The shipbuilding design of our factory depends on him alone. He is a senior engineer and can enjoy expert-level allowances. If you offend him, he will transfer to another factory in the province. If uncle knows about it, I will peel your skin off."
When Guo Jing heard this, he indeed quieted down.
Gu Qi is the only person in the factory who has studied abroad and has a good education. The design drawings he has are all valuable. His father treats him like a baby and loves and cares for him. Everyone in the factory knows him.
An intellectual like him who is extremely arrogant might not be able to bear the humiliation and really leave. If there is any loss in the factory at that time, his father will beat him to death!
But thinking back, he was still very angry.
"Is there no other way? They have hurt me so badly! I was demoted and transferred to another position in an instant. How many people are laughing at me! I really can't let them go like this!"
Guo Jiayue's eyes moved slightly and she smiled coldly.
"Gu Qi can't be moved, but there are others, right? His sister likes to gossip so much, is it that difficult to find someone to tease and scare her? His wife is studying and not working, but doesn't he have a younger brother and sister-in-law who work in the factory? If you lose your rank, you can just make them lose their positions - what's so difficult about that!"
