Sun Dahai had to be rushed to the hospital again; this time, Zhu Yueju forked out the money for his treatment.
Wang Chuyan went to Su Wen’s place and returned shortly after. Judging from Li Youcai’s expression, Wang Chuyan knew the matter was far from settled. “So Little Wen refused to compensate him, I take it?”
“It’s not that she isn’t willing to compensate him; she just doesn’t feel it necessary to take the initiative to broach the topic of compensation with Zhu Yueju.” Wang Chunyan thought about what Su Wen had said and felt very pleased.
Little Wen had grown up. She was already much better at thinking and working things to her advantage. It reminded Wang Chyan of Su Wen’s mother. The two of them were as good as peas in a pod.
Su Wen’s mother had also been smart and bold.
Li Youcai was stunned when he heard this but quickly understood Su Wen’s intent. He fell silent, agreeing with Su Wen’s course of action.
She was willing to provide compensation but would not do so at the expense of bowing her head to Zhu Yueju.
To do so was to leap into a bottomless pit of greed.
The Sun family would have to ask for compensation if they wanted it. In this case, Old Man Sun would need to step forward and ask for it. Although Old Man Sun was vicious, he was also a man of his word.
“This matter won’t be resolved amicably.” Little Wen’s attitude was clear – she did not take the Sun family to heart.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll go into town and call Hengyang using the phone booth outside the post office. He’ll return if I ask him to.” Having made up his mind, Li Youcai left for the town.
Before Zhou Hengyang left, he had asked Li Youcai to watch over Su Wen and her family. Hengyang even gave him his contact details once he had everything set up, including his current address and phone number. Hengyang had tried contacting him then but was indisposed, so he only received the details when he attended the town assembly.
Who would have thought he would need to contact Hengyang so soon?
Since Hengyang left, Little Wen had been up to mischief almost every other day of the week. Li Youcai needed Hengyang to rein in his wife.
Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause in the future?
Changhe Machinery Factory- –
Zhou Hengyang had arrived much later than usual. He had a dream he should not have had the night before. He had been so angry that he had not slept well the entire night. When he woke up in the morning, he had to do 200 push-ups before he calmed down.
He wore a simple short-sleeved shirt when he went out, showing off his impressive musculature. With fine beads of sweat clinging to his wheat-colored skin, he seemed to exude an alluring luster in the early morning light.
Standing at an impressive 1.86 meters, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a bubble butt, and long, toned legs, Zhou Hengyang cut a striking figure that would have made anyone swoon. All who laid eyes on him found themselves staring, enraptured, almost as if they hoped to undress him with their eyes alone.
Even more infuriating was that Zhou Hengyang did not care what others thought of him.
Some might have called him oblivious, but that was far from the truth. He simply could not be bothered by those who held no meaning to him in his eyes.
Was it an infuriating sight?
Absolutely!
In any case, Liu Chun was thoroughly jealous. He kept making funny faces behind Zhou Hengyang’s back, going so far as to grab a tape measure and mime himself taking measurements of his friend’s slender waist.
Zhou Hengyang did not even turn around as he grabbed hold of Liu Chun.
“Why don’t you keep your hands to yourself? If you’re tired of them, I can always remove them for you.”
“H-haha! Hengyang, I was wrong.” Embarrassed, Liu Chun hastily changed the topic. “Hengyang, why did you chase away the secretary I hired?”
With the factory developing nicely, the list of things requiring Zhou
Hengyang’s attention grew, and he needed someone to help him organize the documents based on their importance. That, coupled with Hengyang’s engine research, had caused him to lose a lot of weight from many a sleepless night.
Zhou Hengyang knew he needed a secretary.
“Hire a male one.”
“Ah? Alright! Yes, a male secretary sounds like a better idea.” Liu Chun was quick on the uptake and realized what the problem was. Indeed, it would not be a good idea to have women ogling Hengyang at work. If his sister-in-law knew about this, she would be most displeased. Liu Chun’s job was to look after Hengyang while his dear sister-in-law remained in the village!
It was a difficult task, but one he would accomplish to the best of his ability.
Naturally, Liu Chun did not say more than he needed to. He rather liked living a little too much to die an early death at Zhou Hengyang’s hands; thank you very much!
When they arrived at the administrative building, someone shouted, “Director, there’s a call for you.”
Zhou Hengyang nodded and went to answer the call..
