Having experienced the previous forced embrace incident and with Li Mu's warning, Jiang Nansun was somewhat wary of Wang Yongzheng. Now that he was asking her to stay up all night, with a man and a woman working together on a construction site, how could she possibly agree? She turned around and was about to leave.

"I'm sorry! I can't do it," he said, taking off his helmet and turning to leave.

Wang Yongzheng immediately became anxious and quickly stopped him: "Nan Sun, this is Professor Dong's project, and it's also a task that Professor Dong assigned to you. You can't just leave like this."

“If you leave now, I will call Professor Dong and tell him that you are not suitable. I heard that you plan to pursue your doctorate under Professor Dong.”

Jiang Nansun immediately stopped in her tracks. As Professor Dong's teaching assistant, she was in charge of the boutique hotel project and was clearly highly regarded by Professor Dong. If Wang Yongzheng really complained about her, it would be very detrimental to her taking the doctoral entrance exam for Professor Dong.

Hesitated.

Wang Yongzheng leaned in again with a smile and said, "Nan Sun, reworking it is very simple, don't worry. Maybe Lao Wei and the others will figure it out this afternoon and help us with it. We don't need to work overtime."

Jiang Nansun hesitated for a while, but eventually gave in and could only learn to install the clips. Wang Yongzheng saw this and a smile appeared on his lips. He stepped forward and said, "Nansun, your method is too inefficient. Let me teach you."

Jiang Nansun took two steps back: "No need, I can do it myself."

Wang Yongzheng shrugged, seemingly a little disappointed.

After working for a while and calculating the workload, Jiang Nansun realized that with just the two of them, they would really have to work through the night. She didn't want to spend the night alone with Wang Yong on the construction site.

Suddenly, he stepped down from the scaffolding: "I'm going to find Lao Wei and try to persuade them again."

Wang Yongzheng looked a little unhappy and quickly came over and said, "Nan Sun, Lao Wei is very stubborn and won't listen to you. Let's talk about it after he finishes eating."

"If it really doesn't work, we can work overtime, no problem!"

Jiang Nansun remained unmoved and ignored Wang Yongzheng as he walked outside.

At a noodle shop near the construction site, Nan Sun found Lao Wei and his group, but they assumed he was in cahoots with Wang Yongzheng and didn't pay much attention to her.

Jiang Nansun had to think of another way. She went to the front desk and asked, "Boss, how much is the total for the noodles the worker ordered?"

"Let me calculate it for you." The proprietress took out a calculator, did some quick calculations, and then showed it to Jiang Nansun.

"A total of two hundred and sixty-eight."

Jiang Nansun originally wanted to add some more dishes for them, but thinking about her own wallet, she decided against it and paid for their noodles instead, which was already a difficult decision for her.

After paying, Jiang Nansun came over to Lao Wei and his group.

“Brother Wei, Wang Yongzheng asked me to pay the bill for you. He asked me to persuade you to go back to work after you finish your noodles. It’s really just a small matter. There are still many things to do together in the future. He knows that the construction site can’t function without you.”

Old Wei looked up at Jiang Nansun, and while eating his noodles, said, "Wang Yongzheng is usually quite arrogant, looking down on everyone, but he used to be quite polite to us. Today, I don't know what happened, you saw it yourself, he was deliberately picking a fight, nitpicking, and his tone of voice was completely disrespectful. Don't we workers have any dignity? What does he mean by doing this?"

Hearing Lao Wei's complaint, Jiang Nansun immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, he's a really annoying person! He changes his mind very quickly. Not only do you hate him, but many people hate him too."

"He also realized his mistake. After all, he's the site manager, and he couldn't lose face, so he specifically asked me to pay the bill. Let's take some time this afternoon to redo it. With so many people, it should only take an hour at most."

After hearing Jiang Nansun's words, Old Wei frowned and said with some doubt, "He really realized that his attitude was wrong and asked you to pay the bill?"

Jiang Nansun said earnestly, "Of course it's true!"

Seeing that Jiang Nansun didn't seem to be lying, Old Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, I understand. It's nothing serious. We'll go back and redo it after we finish eating!"

"Thank you, foreman!" Jiang Nansun finally felt relieved.

As I left the noodle shop, Li Mu happened to drive up to me.

"Nan Sun, how's the construction site? Are you settling in?"

Jiang Nansun sighed and recounted what had just happened to Li Mu. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the worker was reasonable and agreed to redo the work, so we don't have to work through the night."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't think so."

"Ah!" Jiang Nansun asked, somewhat puzzled, "The worker has already agreed, how can he go back on his word?"

Li Mu said, "That's hard to say. You want these workers to help with the rework, but does Wang Yongzheng want that?"

Jiang Nansun asked doubtfully, "Wang Yongzheng probably thought so too, but he might be too proud to say anything conciliatory. Otherwise, he would have stayed up all night to avoid delaying the construction schedule."

Li Mu laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Staying up all night depends on who you're with. If you're unwilling, he might be looking forward to it!"

Jiang Nansun suddenly realized something and blushed: "Wang Yongzheng wouldn't do that, would he?"

Li Mu smiled faintly: "Who can say for sure? If that's really what he was thinking, he wouldn't have asked Lao Wei's workers to help with the rework."

Jiang Nansun said, "Old Wei brought people to help with the rework, how could Wang Yongzheng possibly drive them away?"

Li Mu said, "There's no need to drive him away. You already mentioned Wang Yongzheng's attitude just now. He just needs to maintain a high stance, not compromise, insist that Lao Wei was wrong, and deny the matter of settling the bill earlier."

Do you think Lao Wei will help you redo the work?

Jiang Nansun was stunned: "Wang Yongzheng usually shows high emotional intelligence at school, but he deliberately pretends to have low emotional intelligence and be clueless about social interactions when he just entered society, so as to drive Lao Wei away in this way?"

Li Mu said, "Who knows! Perhaps, to achieve our goal!"

As they talked, the two arrived at the construction site.

Li Mu said, "Do you want me to go in with you? Don't forget we made plans to have lunch together."

Jiang Nansun thought for a moment and said, "No need, I'll go in and arrange things for these workers and then come out. It won't take much time."

Li Mu nodded: "Okay, go ahead. I hope everything goes well."

Jiang Nansun smiled sweetly, turned around and went back into the construction site. When she saw Wang Yongzheng, she quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Wang Yongzheng, I just treated the foreman and the others to a bowl of noodles and said it was your treat. That's why the foreman agreed to bring people back to redo the work. You mustn't let it slip!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Wei arrived with his workers. Pointing to the areas that needed to be rectified, Old Wei said, "Here, here, and there, everyone, let's work harder and fix these places, and try to finish within an hour!"

Seeing that Lao Wei had really returned, Wang Yongzheng's expression was not good. He stood up and deliberately said loudly to Jiang Nansun, "I didn't ask you to treat them to any noodles. It's their fault for being incompetent. They did a bad job and were not serious about their work. It's only right that they come back to redo the work."

When Old Wei heard this, he didn't know what was going on, and he was both angry and furious.

Looking at Jiang Nansun earnestly, he said, "Young lady, you're being kind, but they don't appreciate it!"

He took off his safety helmet, waved to the workers around him, and said, "No more changes, that's a wrap for today!"

Seeing this, Jiang Nansun knew that Li Mu had guessed correctly. She was furious: "Wang Yongzheng, don't you know anything? The matter had already been resolved! But you, you've angered them and driven them away. You're the one who has to do the rest of the work!"

Wang Yongzheng said, "Isn't there you? In order not to delay tomorrow's construction schedule, let's work together from now on. Don't worry, Nansun, it's very simple. I will help you and won't let you get tired."

Jiang Nansun took off his helmet and turned to leave.

"No need. Since you're so eager to do it, you can do it yourself."

Wang Yongzheng was slightly startled and quickly stopped him.

“Nan Sun, you can’t just leave like this. Professor Dong specifically sent you here for practical experience. What’s the meaning of you leaving now?”

“If you insist on leaving, I’ll call Professor Dong right now. In our line of work, going to construction sites is unavoidable; this is to let you get used to it in advance.”

Jiang Nansun hesitated for a moment. She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was worried that it might affect her upcoming doctoral exam with Professor Dong.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yongzheng was about to press on when a figure came into view.

"Nan Sun, let's go eat."

As she spoke, she glanced silently at Wang Yongzheng. They were both men and understood each other's tactics. Was it about finding someone to work overtime? Was it about deliberately creating an excuse to spend time together? Or was it about having the opportunity to stay up all night together?

If it weren't for Zhang Anren's concern for his girlfriend and his decision to stay up all night to help, Wang Yongzheng would have actually achieved his goal.

Nowadays, the relationship between Jiang Nansun and Zhang Anren has cooled considerably. If Jiang Nansun were to stay up all night, it's hard to say whether Zhang Anren would come to help.

Unfortunately, just as Nansun was about to agree, Li Mu intervened again.

Knowing Li Mu's martial prowess, Wang Yongzheng dared not stop Nan Sun any longer and quickly stepped aside.

Li Mu's appearance seemed to give Nan Sun confidence, and she went straight to meet him.

"Okay, let's go eat first. I'll need your car to go back to school later."

"No problem, I'd be happy to."

Watching Li Mu and Jiang Nansun leave, seemingly so amicable, Wang Yongzheng sighed, a pang of sadness in his heart. He suddenly realized that even without Zhang Anren, his chances were slim.

Chapter 199 The Truth

After the two left the construction site, Li Mu, who had already made a reservation at a restaurant, drove straight there.

The comfortable environment and elegant style were something she hadn't experienced in a long time since her card had been suspended.

Looking at the confident, handsome, and charming Li Mu in front of her, Jiang Nansun felt a warmth in her heart. The image of Zhang Anren appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but compare the two of them!

Sigh! The result is quite poignant!

She realized at some point that Zhang Anren no longer held the same importance in her heart as she had imagined.

Jiang Nansun was confused, which made her, who had always fantasized about a beautiful and pure love, a little panicked. She had clearly loved Zhang Anren so much not long ago, and was willing to go against her family and break with her father for him. How could their relationship have deteriorated to this point in just one or two months?

Whose fault was it? Was it myself or him? Had I changed, or had he changed?

Perhaps both of them had their reasons, which led to the current outcome.

Perhaps neither of them has changed; what has changed is the external environment, which has exposed their other side and their respective shortcomings and flaws.

For example, Jiang Nansun never realized that she would care about money and be calculating about it. Sometimes she was even afraid that she would become the kind of person she used to hate.

Thinking about this, my mind raced with thoughts, and I couldn't help but sigh.

Li Mu looked up and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Nansun shook his head: "It's nothing, just a bit sentimental, afraid that one day I will become worldly too."

Li Mu said, "Since you can think this way, it seems that your aunt and uncle were right to limit your allowance and suspend your credit card."

Li Mu's words surprised Jiang Nansun and made him a little angry.
