536 I Quit
It was the lady boss manning the shop at the moment. When she saw Xia Zhe, her eyes were almost fixated on him. She kept asking Xia Zhe about his birth date, age and his family background. She even wanted to marry her daughter off to Xia Zhe.
If Xia Zhe had not paid fast and ran away quickly, he would probably still be held back by the lady boss and interrogated!
“I… I was held back by that lady boss… Then, she told me a lot of things…” Xia Zhe stammered.
There was a hint of murderous look in Qiao Mei’s eyes. She had thought that she would be able to avoid Xia Zhe’s romantic debts after leaving the capital. She did not expect that Xia Zhe would still be as popular as ever after coming to the county city.
He was simply too well liked by both men and women, young and old!
“I never expect the same thing even when I return to the village…” Qiao Mei muttered softly.
Xia Zhe liked Qiao Mei’s jealous look very much. It made her look very cute and playful. The more jealous Qiao Mei got, the happier he was.
This meant that Qiao Mei loved him and cared about him.
“I didn’t say more than what was necessary. I just took my things and left! I’ve asked the doctor for a few unused blankets. Zhang Miao’s blanket is also here. I’ve made the bed for you, so go and sleep now,” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei sat down slowly on the caregiver bed. The bed, which was originally only a piece of canvas supported by a few pieces of steel, was now tightly wrapped up with blankets by Xia Zhe. It felt as if she was sitting on a big cotton puff.
“What about you? Aren’t you going to rest?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I’ll keep an eye on Zhang Miao tonight. Mom is sleeping on the hospital bed next to Zhang Miao. I’ll rest if I feel tired later,” Xia Zhe said as he squatted beside Qiao Mei.
“Then wake me up when you’re tired. I’ll take over and keep an eye on her,” Qiao Mei said.
Xia Zhe nodded and turned off the lights in the ward, leaving only a small table lamp switched on in the corner. Soon, everyone fell asleep.
Nothing much happened in the hospital, but something big happened to the Zhang family.
Zhang Qian slept through the night and returned to work the next morning. Ever since he received the money from selling the children, he felt refreshed and no longer cared about the people at his workplace.
“Zhang, did you pick up money or win the lottery? Why are you so happy today? Tell us and make everyone happy,” the security guard at the door said with a smile as he held on to a large tea jar.
Zhang Qian tilted his head and did not even look at the guard as he walked into the factory arrogantly. The people around him sighed, not knowing what was wrong with Zhang Qian.
“Hey! Why is he ignoring me! Didn’t he see me!” the guard stood up angrily and yelled at Zhang Qian.
Everyone in the surrounding area pulled him back to sit down and handed him some melon seeds. “Brother, why are you angry with him? Maybe he has done something bad and is too embarrassed to say it!”
“Hahahaha! Is it because that young widow doesn’t like him?”
“In the end, she ended up with the factory manager! He even promoted Zhang. Zhang now has to serve tea to the factory manager every day! I don’t know how he can tolerate it! If I’m Zhang, I would definitely quit!”
“That’s right! His lover was snatched away and he still has to serve tea to her husband. I have to say that Zhang is really a big picture person!”
“His wife is also a remarried woman. Zhang just likes to interact with widows. I wonder what’s so nice about this widow that Zhang can’t forget her!”
“Why? Do you want to experience it too? But you don’t have Zhang’s luck!”
“We have to get Zhang to tell us how he does it! So that everyone can learn from him!”
“Hahaha!”
Everyone burst into laughter. Zhang Qian was already tired of hearing these chitchat. Ever since the young widow married the factory manager, he was mocked all the time.
However, he would not let himself be insulted anymore from today onwards! He had long wanted to quit this job!
Zhang Qian walked back angrily and said, “You don’t have to sit here and laugh at me! I’m going to resign today! I quit! You can say whatever you want!”
“Brother, why are you so angry? Isn’t everyone just joking? Why are you taking it so seriously?” the other employees laughed and said.
“I’ve had enough of this lousy place for a long time! What’s so great about being a factory manager! I’ll quit after today! Just wait and see!” Zhang Qian shouted.
“Why don’t you just leave now? Are you saying it for show?” the guard said sarcastically.
Zhang Qian also felt like leaving now, but how was he going to break the news to Chu Xin? When he left earlier, she even told him to work hard and said she would cook a feast for him tonight.
