That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1074: Is it a violation of Feng Shui or is it just attracting bees and butterflies?

"If I had just graduated and someone was so caring towards me without asking for anything in return, I might have believed that he was doing it out of love. But now I'm in my thirties. Do you think I should still believe in love?"

"."

Faced with Zhou Ziqing's question, Wu Yan had no idea how to answer.

When his teacher Professor Zhao gave Wu Yan a task to get Zhou Ziqing to a branch factory and pair her up with Lao Jie, Wu Yan carried it out seriously.

But Wu Yan was angry at Lao Jie's hesitation. In his opinion, Zhou Ziqing had both good looks and brains. Why were you still being so hypocritical? Do you believe that I can find a young and handsome guy for my senior sister in a minute?
But after hearing what Zhou Ziqing said, Wu Yan gradually came to his senses.

Professor Zhao is an experienced man, so why would he choose Lao Jie, a taciturn man with a daughter?
Because if Zhou Ziqing wanted to find someone to spend the rest of her life in peace and stability, Lao Jie would be a good choice, because it was obvious that she just needed a companion, without any falsehood.

Moreover, Lao Jie is not good at sweet talk. In terms of appearance, height, work and ability, he is perfect in every aspect. If we talk about income, he beats more than 99% of the cattle and horses of this era.

Of course, if Zhou Ziqing is open-minded, she can be "passionate and outgoing" and even have an affair with a man who is younger than her.

It’s just that everyone knows what a young and handsome puppy needs, so just don’t take it seriously.

Otherwise, if you pretend to be in love with someone, you might scare him. Then the little brother will yell at you to cut off ties with you, which will be embarrassing.

So if we analyze from a rational point of view, the old solution is the optimal solution for Zhou Ziqing at this time.

Wu Yan held it in for a long time before he said awkwardly, "Should I apologize to Lao Jie?"

Zhou Ziqing laughed and said casually, "Why apologize for something like this? You mean well, and it's his business if he doesn't understand. Why bother about it?"

"."

After Zhou Ziqing finished talking to Wu Yan, she went to the third canteen to eat. Because of Lao Jie's reaction today, after getting her meal, she did not go to Lao Jie and his daughter's place, but found a place to sit down by herself.

But as soon as she sat down, Old Xie's daughter Xie Ruonan came over with her lunch box.

"Auntie Zhou, take me to buy clothes later! We are a bit rushed at noon, we have to hurry, Xicheng Department Store is far away."

Zhou Ziqing looked at Lao Jie who was not far away and asked in a low voice: "Your dad just said he would take you to buy it. What? He didn't tell you?"

Xie Ruonan poked her braised pork and said disdainfully: "How can a grown man like him buy it? He blushed when he saw it, and he didn't even choose, he just took it and left."

"Pfft~"

Zhou Ziqing couldn't help but laugh. It was indeed a bit difficult for a grown man like Lao Jie to buy women's underwear.

"Then let's eat quickly. After that, I'll lend you Uncle Wu's motorcycle to take you there."

Xie Ruonan asked in surprise: "Auntie Zhou, can you still ride a motorcycle?"

Zhou Ziqing smiled and said, "Of course, I have a motorcycle driver's license."

"Oh, you're really awesome. My dad can't even ride a motorcycle."

"."

The two women, one big and one small, finished their meal quickly, rode away on Wu Yan's motorcycle, and when they were leaving the gate of a branch factory, the guard suddenly called Zhou Ziqing.

"Engineer Zhou, there's a letter for you!"

"Oh, thank you!"

Zhou Ziqing took the envelope, opened it, quickly glanced through it, and casually put it in her pocket.

But her heart was not at peace.

It’s another letter from my parents. This is the third one this year.

In the first two letters, his parents told him in detail about Zhou Ziqing's ex-husband Shi Jichao's visit to them.

Although Shi Jichao married his mistress and had a son, he still treated his former father-in-law and mother-in-law as family members and visited them with gifts during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.

This time the letter was even more outrageous, Shi Jichao actually told Zhou Ziqing's parents that he would divorce the mistress after his current son was weaned, and then remarry Zhou Ziqing."

Doesn’t it sound touching? Doesn’t it sound like this man has deep feelings for his former father-in-law and mother-in-law?
But Zhou Ziqing knew too well Shi Jichao's sinister intentions.

After some men gain power, their desire for possession and control will expand infinitely.

Zhou Ziqing's ex-husband divorced her, but he still wanted to dominate her.

[No one should ever touch the woman I have loved again.]

Shi Jichao liked the dignity of Zhou Ziqing, the "first wife", and also liked the debauchery of the mistress. He wanted to enjoy the happiness of having two wives, so after divorcing Zhou Ziqing, he did all kinds of outrageous things, making Zhou Ziqing miserable.

Otherwise, why did Zhou Ziqing insist on leaving her original unit? In her original unit, the second-in-command was the boss. If Zhou Ziqing hadn't used her house to attract others to check and balance her, she wouldn't have been able to leave her original unit.

Zhou Ziqing was an extremely smart woman. She knew very well that as long as she didn't have a husband, she would not be able to put an end to Shi Jichao's harassment.
Because Shi Jichao narcissistically thought that he was in the wrong because Zhou Ziqing couldn't have a child, and she still had feelings for him.

Zhou Ziqing was thinking about something when she suddenly heard Jie Ruonan's voice: "Auntie Zhou, we've gone too far. We should turn right to go to Xicheng Department Store."

"Oh, I didn't notice it. Let's turn around!"

"Auntie Zhou, are you distracted? Is the letter you just read very important? If it is, we can skip the trip today."

"It's okay. I'm just not very good at driving. I didn't pay attention to the intersection just now."

"No way! You ride much better than Uncle Wu."

"Haha, that only proves that Wu Yan's skills are poor!"

"That's true. I heard that Director Li has criticized Uncle Wu several times, saying that it is too dangerous for him to ride a motorcycle and asked him to drive a car. But Uncle Wu likes to ride a motorcycle, so Director Li can only nag and order him to wear a helmet."

"Really? There's also this? I really didn't know that. I never thought that Director Li is so much younger than Wu Yan, and yet he still has to worry about him."

"Hey, I heard that Director Li and Uncle Xiao Wu have known each other for a long time, and Uncle Xiao Wu is very impressed by Director Li."

After Zhou Ziqing chatted with Jie Ruonan for a while, she miraculously felt much better from the depressed mood she had just had.

This is also one of the reasons why she told Wu Yan, "I finally have a few days of comfort."

Zhou Ziqing likes children and gets along well with Jie Ruonan, a little girl. In addition, it is because of Li Ye.

Since arriving at the first branch, Zhou Ziqing has truly experienced the feeling of living a stable life.

The First Branch not only has a comfortable working atmosphere, but also has strict stranger visiting policies in both the factory and dormitory areas. Li Ye is very protective of his son, so if Shi Jichao wants to come here to harass Zhou Ziqing, he's probably asking for trouble.

"Ah~"

Zhou Ziqing sighed softly, letting the last bit of unhappiness go into the air.

She actually came to terms with it.

If Lao Jie is willing to accept her, then let nature take its course and they can form a family. If not, then wouldn't it be fine for them to just continue living like this?
I go to work, earn some money, and chat with Jie Ruonan on weekdays, so my life doesn’t feel boring.

She did not think that Lao Jie was "ungrateful" like Wu Yan did, because Lao Jie had everything he needed now and his need for a wife was not that urgent.

But fate is such a wonderful thing. Zhou Ziqing didn't expect that the turning point would come so quickly.

. . . . . . . .

Monday, April 24th.

As soon as Li Ye got to work in the morning, he received a notice from the head office to attend a meeting. The meeting was chaired by Niu Hongzhang, who had just returned from Riguang City.

Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang walked towards the main factory while laughing: "He just came back and he's already in a meeting. It seems like he has a lot to say! We have to be careful later to avoid getting spit on our faces."

Lu Zhizhang said in a deep voice: "I still have a lot of things to say to him! If he wants to spit at me, I will spit back at him."

Li Ye was surprised and asked: "Old Lu, are you going to stand up?"

Lu Zhizhang laughed and scolded, "That's right! You act so majestic all day long, I've seen enough!"

"Hahahaha~"

Li Ye used to fight with Niu Hongzhang, and Lu Zhizhang even secretly suggested that sometimes he could just pretend to be nice to him, but seeing what Lu Zhizhang meant, he didn't want to play it anymore.

However, as soon as the two men reached the gate of a branch factory, they saw a woman arguing with the security guard. The woman was holding a baby in her arms, who was crying loudly. The scene was in chaos.

"What's going on? Hey, don't touch the child!"

Seeing the child swinging around because of the struggle between the woman and the security guard, with its little neck looking like it was about to break, Li Ye quickly went over to pull the two apart and shouted at the security guard.

"What are you doing? Didn't Mr. Zheng see such a small child? Can't you just talk it out peacefully? Why are you hitting him?"

The security guard, Lao Zheng, was scolded by Li Ye and said aggrievedly: "Director Li, we didn't want to fight with her. She was the one who started the trouble. Look at how she scratched Xiao Jiang."

When Li Ye looked back, he saw several bloody marks on the young security guard's neck, obviously he was killed by the woman.

Li Ye frowned, turned around and asked the woman holding the child: "Comrade, please don't be anxious. Let me first tell you why you came to our unit. Why did you quarrel with our guard?"

The woman said angrily: "I came to your company to look for someone. At first you said he was in the factory, but later you said there was no such person. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Who are you trying to fool?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at Lao Zheng and Xiao Jiang. The other party's eyes were flickering, and it was obvious that there was something going on.

"Old Zheng, tell me, what's going on?"

Old Zheng swallowed his saliva and said, "That's the factory director. This comrade wants to see Comrade Jie Chengjun. He said he was transferred here last fall.
We thought that there was indeed a person named Jie who was transferred here last fall, so we called to inquire about him. But when we called, Section Chief Zhu said that there was no such person. Wasn't this a misunderstanding?"

"."

Li Ye immediately understood what was going on.

There is definitely Xie Chengjun, but now he has changed his name to Xie Xinsheng.

If there is no one inside a branch factory and outsiders are not allowed to enter, then the behavior of the security guard is fine.

Then there is a problem with the old solution.

Li Ye turned to look at the woman and said, "Comrade, there is indeed no one named Jie Chengjun in our unit. Who asked you to come to us to look for someone?"

The woman said sharply, "Is the job transfer I found out from the organization fake? What kind of unit are you working in? People just disappear once they come in? Is this Sun Erniang's black shop?"

The old information was recorded, and now Li Ye can no longer hide it.

So he said calmly: "We do have a person named Jie in our company, but he changed his name not long ago. You don't even know his name, so how can we let you in? We are a high-tech joint venture, and strangers are not allowed to enter."

"He changed his name?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then she took out a photo from her bag and slapped it on the table.

"If he changed his name, could he also change his appearance? I am his wife, am I a stranger?"

Li Ye was shocked and asked, "You are Lao Jie's wife? Are you kidding me?"

The woman raised her head high: "Are you kidding? Who would joke about a woman's innocence?"

"."

Li Ye had roughly guessed what was going on.

The photo is a family portrait of three people, including Mrs. Jie and her daughter.

Li Ye smacked his teeth.

[Is the Feng Shui of the first branch factory this year bad luck with romance? Why do these bad things always happen? ]

No, you didn't accompany me when I was down, who are you to make a comeback?
Li Ye soon realized that it was not the feng shui of the first branch factory that was problematic, but that Li Ye gave the workers too many benefits.

The salaries of Lao Jie and others are several times higher than those of cadres of Niu Hongzhang's level, and Niu Hongzhang is the top two in the factory with tens of thousands of employees.

Isn't this just like flowers to bees, how can they not attract bees and butterflies?
