Chapter 1243 - 1245
Many people were listening to Gong Rui’s analysis and didn’t notice when Luo Zijun came in for the class.
They were startled and began to think about what they had said before, realizing that Luo Zijun was really too much, eavesdropping on people was quite normal for her.
After pondering for a while, many people breathed a sigh of relief. As for Gong Ruini’s resentment toward Luo Zijun, they felt powerless.
In their view, no matter how fierce Luo Zijun was, she could not do anything to Gong Ruini.
Seeing Luo Zijun, Gong Ruini wasn’t surprised. She had actually noticed when she came in. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought it up.
"Did I say something wrong again?"
"Tsk, don’t you know?" Gong Ruini said with a face like ’how can you not know,’ provoking Luo Zijun.
"He has only one girlfriend, and that’s me." Luo Zijun raised her voice to affirm that she is Zhang Yan Yang’s only girlfriend.
No matter what, she had to be with Zhang Yan Yang. Without him as a support, could she secure her position firmly?
Actually, Luo Zijun was quite mindful of Gong Ruini’s words because Gong Ruini wasn’t someone who spoke nonsense. Although sometimes her words were infuriating, they were usually reasonable.
Even though she mingled well in the circle, when she spoke ill of Gong Ruini, very few people agreed with her apart from a few who did.
What was even more annoying was that someone reprimanded her, reminding her to watch her words and not say things that might upset others again.
It was normal for Gong Ruini to know some things she didn’t, but she couldn’t agree with that information.
"Yes, you are merely his girlfriend," Gong Ruini sighed, feeling pity for her.
Previously, Gong Ruini noticed the way Luo Zijun’s eyes shifted. This made sense; if she couldn’t see something was wrong with her boyfriend, she would be as good as dead.
But discovering and believing were two different things. Making the choice was not something that wouldn’t suffocate people.
"But the other one is a fiancée." Gong Ruini added.
"If you don’t believe it, you can ask around. And in August, Zhang Yan Yang will undergo training below," Gong Ruini didn’t believe this wouldn’t make Luo Zijun nervous.
Luo Zijun indeed knew about Zhang Yan Yang going for training in August; she was even happy for him, though the position above was nice, but there were limited seats, and the Zhang Family wouldn’t fight for him.
To move up, he would either need support or ability. If the former was impossible, the latter was the only way, a process being executed quietly.
This matter hadn’t been disclosed because he mentioned it had to be kept secret. If people with intentions found out, they might pull strings to snatch the position, leaving him no tears to cry.
How did Gong Ruini know? Was Gong Ruwen also vying for this position? If the factory was doing well for him, then he ought to stay there rather than think about moving up, given their business roots and Gong Ruwen’s reliability.
"Is Gong Ruwen changing jobs?" Hmph, I know your devious intentions, business people can be ruthless, but I won’t be fooled.
Change jobs? Nowhere near it. National firms currently face tough times, yet Gong Ruini felt no worry for Gong Ruwen. He wasn’t a clueless boy; he would handle things well.
The fool wouldn’t think they were interested in securing this position for themselves?
"My brother won’t change the job." Currently, although the mechanical plant was under Gong Ruwen’s sales operations, even if they couldn’t recover past losses, it had filled many gaps.
Some wanted to drive Gong Ruwen away, but he wasn’t a child. Exposed to much, backed by the Chu Family and Dai Family, who would do such foolish things now?
Not changing? Hmph, did they think I was a fool? They said it because they saw through her.
"Besides, that place is territory of Zhang Yan Yang’s future in-laws, not idiots."
Hmph, since they had time to suspect this and that, let them worry slowly.
Future in-laws’ territory? Luo Zijun was going crazy. How could this be, how could this be.
"I don’t believe it." No way, she needed to ask him. She couldn’t have sacrificed so much for him, only for someone else to benefit.
Luo Zijun turned and ran out. If this wasn’t resolved, she couldn’t sit still.
Ah, she just left like that. They had noticed her poor mood, contemplating whether to bring it up.
If they didn’t, Luo Zijun would never spare them once she found out later.
If they did, this woman would likely explode, meaning trouble for them either way.
"Shall we bring it up again?" someone nervously asked.
Might as well not. She already knew her pillar was about to get married; why would he care about her well-being, even if he did a bit?
"By the way, about that rival of Luo Zijun?"
"Family’s about equal with the Zhangs, maybe a bit stronger, but paths differ. Over there, they rule almost like local tyrants."
After so many years of marriage alliances, handling things there posed no worry at all.
Marrying a local tyrant’s daughter was a quick path for Zhang Yan Yang’s development, akin to boarding an express train with a better start than his brother.
But will Zhang Yan Yang’s development path benefit him? Never having faced hardships, his matters always arranged, he was practically a puppet managing things.
"Local tyrant," everyone gasped. Often, small town folks knew too well about these supposed tyrants, and no one had a good impression of them.
"It seems normal for Luo Zijun to lose." Someone else, planning to keep two boats afloat, didn’t really care; if it helped them reach their goal, it was enough.
"Lose and find another." Preferably someone down-and-out; constantly flaunting affection or vacations doesn’t sit well.
"Could she find better?" Zhang Yan Yang had agreed with the other side, their marriage a done deal, leaving Luo Zijun as the unluckiest.
Gong Ruini doubted Luo Zijun could find better, predicting methods force her departure without letting the story leak.
Suddenly, Gong Ruini figured holding Luo Zijun back might actually let her avoid a wave.
Zhang Yan Yang only wanted her silence; the rest mattered not.
