Chapter 123 - 223: What Can You Compare to Me?
Zhou Jiaojiao craned her neck, convinced that Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping would not admit it. She had already thought about how she would refute them later, but who knew that Lu Zhenping’s expression didn’t change at all, and he directly answered, "Yes."
Zhou Jiaojiao’s expression, which was calculated and composed, froze on her face, while Lu Jiaxuan, who was beside her, furrowed his brows tightly.
"Big brother, you knew I was working at the commune and haven’t been made permanent yet. Why didn’t you tell me his identity? Do you know how important this is to me? If I could get to know Mr. Li and gain his favor, wouldn’t that be just like soaring to the heavens? You’re always in the military; you simply don’t understand the many helpless situations in the workplace."
Shen Meng opened her mouth. That explains it, she thought. Why Zhou Jiaojiao, as a female worker at the textile factory, could later help the male lead start a business and make it grow strong. It must be with the backing of the Hu family and Li family. Before, she was only thinking about how to claim Zhou Jiaojiao’s credit for herself, but now she realized it was not just stealing the credit, it was like seizing the golden touch.
Lu Zhenping gave Shen Meng a nod, signaling her to go about her own business and not to worry about the matters here.
After Shen Meng left, he glanced at the two people and went straight to the yard, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, and began to smoke. Zhou Jiaojiao and Lu Jiaxuan exchanged looks and both followed him.
"Big brother, what Jiaxuan asked is also what I want to ask. As you all know, I was the one who discovered Li Qianqian first, and I was the one who went over to help first. If it weren’t for elder sister-in-law having a bicycle and taking her to the hospital first, this incident would have had nothing to do with elder sister-in-law."
This was the matter that Zhou Jiaojiao was concerned about. She always felt that something was off. Clearly, there wasn’t a soul in sight at that place, and she only got lost because she doesn’t often go to the county. What was her elder sister-in-law doing there, to encounter them by such a coincidence?
