As soon as Dongzi heard about their situation, he immediately understood what was going on.
After being deliberately misled by Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen, Dongzi fell right into the trap.
Upon hearing that the two hadn’t eaten yet, Dongzi sighed instantly, thinking they were too embarrassed to let relatives know due to their hard life.
In this world, some people like to cling to wealth and honor while others value integrity and principles.
Dongzi automatically classified Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen as the latter.
Considering they were relatives of the big boss, he thought they deserved to be properly taken care of.
Now that they were keeping it a secret from Xu Niannian, it didn’t mean they would always do so. If he treated them well at this time, maybe he would even have the chance to be promoted.
Given that they didn’t want Xu Niannian to know for the time being, Dongzi arranged for them to be in the very last workshop of the last factory building.
Zhao Shuihua was assigned to be a foreman in the workshop, and Zhao Zhenzhen became a team leader.
Upon hearing the arrangements, Zhao Shuihua and Zhao Zhenzhen covered their mouths and laughed.
And so they stayed for two days.
They didn’t have to do anything, just to watch. If the two stayed honest, their cover might not be blown anytime soon.
But the mistake was that Zhao Zhenzhen couldn’t stay put. Hearing the employees talk about how the company’s vice president was young and handsome, she suddenly felt an urge.
She found out that Xu Zhiqiang occasionally went to the back mountain to survey the terrain as he was considering expansion.
Zhao Zhenzhen played the waiting game for two days and finally caught up with Xu Zhiqiang.
Zhao Zhenzhen feigned a fall and ended up accidentally throwing herself into Xu Zhiqiang’s arms.
"Are you okay?" Xu Zhiqiang frowned and helped Zhao Zhenzhen up. "Are you an employee from the factory?"
He noticed the blue armband on Zhao Zhenzhen’s sleeve and asked.
Zhao Zhenzhen leaned weakly against Xu Zhiqiang, playing the victim, and said, "I twisted my ankle. Can you help me out, please?"
Zhao Zhenzhen didn’t know that Xu Zhiqiang was already married, otherwise she wouldn’t have dared to do this.
Xu Zhiqiang was straightforward, but since his family had become wealthy, there were plenty of female employees flocking to him, so he was well-acquainted with these tactics.
When Zhao Zhenzhen spoke like that, he immediately frowned, "Walk by yourself, the way you came in is the way you can go out."
Zhao Zhenzhen couldn’t agree with that. She wouldn’t let the opportunity slip away so easily.
Zhao Zhenzhen, who thought she was quite attractive, didn’t realize Xu Zhiqiang had seen through her intentions right away. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Still trying to play pitiful, she leaned on Xu Zhiqiang, her voice soft, and said, "Sir, could you please take me back? My ankle really hurts, I can’t walk, and it hurts every time I move. Please be kind and help me out, okay?"
She pretended as if she didn’t know Xu Zhiqiang’s identity, with urgency that seemed authentic in her eyes.
If she hadn’t been leaning so desperately against him, Xu Zhiqiang might have believed her words.
However, with a year’s experience as a leader, Xu Zhiqiang had the ability to read people and wouldn’t be as ignorant as a naïve youngster.
It was working hours at the moment, and the shoulder patch that the person was wearing caught Xu Zhiqiang’s eye, identifying her as a team leader.
Rather than working during business hours, she was here to block his way.
The back mountain was desolate, with nothing there. What was she, a woman, doing here?
Apart from trying to waylay him, Xu Zhiqiang really couldn’t think of another reason.
Thus, he shook her off abruptly and asked coldly, "Which workshop are you from? What’s your name?"
Perhaps because of Xu Zhiqiang’s calm demeanor, Zhao Zhenzhen was taken aback.
How could there be such an unromantic man?
Looking at Xu Zhiqiang’s icy expression, Zhao Zhenzhen felt intimidated, yet thought she had to seize this chance.
So, she purposefully fell against him again, attempting to kiss Xu Zhiqiang.
And unfortunately, she was seen by Chen Xiaorou, who had come to call Xu Zhiqiang home for dinner.
She cried out "Zhiqiang" in despair. Xu Zhiqiang pushed Chen Xiaorou away, saw her pale face, and was about to explain, but Zhao Zhenzhen, mistaking Chen Xiaorou for a female employee with a crush on Xu Zhiqiang, deliberately induced misunderstanding with a timid tone, "Who is she?"
Her voice was as gentle as water, but it disgusted Xu Zhiqiang.
However, Chen Xiaorou really misunderstood.
Because Xu Zhiqiang had not touched her since their marriage.
So Chen Xiaorou turned and ran back crying, and Xu Zhiqiang wanted to chase after her but Zhao Zhenzhen clung to Xu Zhiqiang’s arm like a plaster, softly saying, "Hey, haven’t you helped me out yet? Can you do me this favor?"
Prevented by her, Xu Zhiqiang didn’t immediately pursue Chen Xiaorou. Instead, he turned around, his face cold, and tore off Zhao Zhenzhen’s armband.
He looked at the name on it.
"Zhao Zhenzhen, right? As of now, you’re fired," said Xu Zhiqiang.
After speaking, he threw the armband at Zhao Zhenzhen before turning to chase after Chen Xiaorou.
Xu Niannian and the others had already packed their luggage and were waiting to board. Chen Xiaorou ran back from the factory, crying.
Xu Sisi, carrying a suitcase in confusion, asked Xu Niannian in surprise, "Sister Niannian, isn’t that Sister Xiao Rou? I seem to have seen her crying."
It wasn’t just Xu Sisi that saw it; Xu Niannian saw it too.
She frowned subconsciously. What happened?
