Chapter 36: Chapter 36(1/2)
Fang Wei was thinking as he walked, Sister Lin had already said Wang Mei's name, and he was afraid that he was going to be in trouble. How should he reply to her, without hurting Wang Mei, but still saving face? He thought hard...
Unconsciously, Fang Wei felt that he was walking faster and faster, and Sister Lin couldn't keep up with him. He chased after him for a few steps, walked up to him and said loudly: "Why are you walking so fast? You don't say a word, just keep your head down and walk, I
Let me ask you, do you have that intention for Wang Mei?"
When Fang Wei heard her shouting, he slowed down and raised his head, looked at Sister Lin, hesitated for a moment, and said in a consultative tone: "You said this too suddenly, I was not mentally prepared at all, you have to let me think about it."
Just give it a try."
Sister Lin is impatient and outspoken. Seeing that Fang Wei's words were vague and dismissive, she couldn't wait to say: "A grown man, he is awkward. Be happy, agree or disagree, you give me the right answer."
"
Fang Wei was forced to say helplessly, "Sister, don't be so anxious. Listen to me. I have an immature idea. Please listen to me and see if what I say is right?"
She stared at Fang Wei and said, "Speak, don't hide it, tell all your thoughts."
Fang Wei was thinking: The relationship between colleagues is good, and Sister Lin has good intentions. If she doesn't have a clear answer, she won't be able to pass this test, and she will betray her good intentions, which would be a bit unreasonable.
, you have to find a proper reason and speak tactfully. He thought for a few minutes and said, "Don't tell anyone about this first. We are all acquaintances. If not, it will be difficult to meet each other in the future. Just say it from your heart.
Well, it’s my blessing that Wang Mei can like me, and I can’t ask for it. However, marriage is not a trivial matter, so I have to ask my parents for their opinions. In the past few days, I plan to go back to my hometown to meet with my family.
After people discuss it, I will give you a clear answer. Do you think it’s okay?”
Sister Lin said, "Well, hurry up and go back and discuss it with your family. If it's possible, you have to give me a confirmation. Don't delay my girl."
Fang Wei readily agreed, thanked Sister Lin, and repeatedly asked her not to make this matter public, saying, "Sister, please do not tell this matter. If colleagues find out, it will be spread around to add jealousy."
, there will also be people who make irresponsible remarks, saying that girls have strong self-esteem, thin skin, and low psychological endurance. We can’t see Wang Mei being harmed by rumors."
Sister Lin said, "Only you know about this matter and I know that she knows about it. Don't worry, no one else will know about it."
From Sister Lin's words, Fang Wei had already heard that Wang Mei did know about this matter, which had to attract his attention. How to solve this trap, he had to think of a perfect strategy.
Fang Wei thought about it for two days and has made up his mind. This matter is very trivial and cannot be dragged on by mother-in-law and mother-in-law. The longer it goes, the harder it will end. On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary trouble. It should be resolved as soon as possible, that is, face to face directly.
Yes, talk it out in person, it will be better for both parties and will not hurt anyone.
Fang Wei made up his mind and no longer had any worries. He immediately went to the hotel to book a private room. When he came back, he made an appointment with Sister Lin and Wang Mei and told them, "I will treat you tonight and we will have dinner together at the hotel."
The three of them chatted for a while, and Fang Wei quickly turned to the topic and said anxiously, "I called my parents and told them exactly what happened. My parents asked me to find someone in my hometown.
The reason is: after getting married, it will be easier to take care of the elderly at home, and the local customs are the same, making it easy to get along with me. I firmly disagree with my finding a partner in other places, and threaten to sever the relationship between father and son. It is really difficult to disobey my parents' orders, and I can't disobey them.
I am also in deep pain.”
Wang Mei was famous among her colleagues for being shrewd and careful. She immediately understood the meaning of Fang Wei's words. Although she could not accept it emotionally, her reason calmed her down. She didn't say anything on the surface, but she was in pain inside.
Struggling, it was as if she had suddenly matured.
Sister Lin thought that she had done a great thing and that Fang Wei would entertain her well and came to the dinner happily. However, she never expected that Fang Wei would say such a thing, which greatly disappointed her.
After Fang Wei's words came out, the three of them immediately fell into silence. Sister Lin looked at the two of them with their heads lowered and said nothing. She had to cheer up and enlighten her. Wang Mei calmly accepted the reality. Fang Wei carefully fabricated
As an excuse, it seemed to have a less embarrassing ending.
Fang Wei reluctantly settled the matter between him and Wang Mei, and began to prepare for going home. After clearly explaining the business that needed to be contacted as soon as possible to his colleagues, he found his boss and approved him for a seven-day holiday. He repeatedly asked Fang Wei how many days he would be leaving.
The weather was fine, but he was worried that his business would be affected if time went by. When he left the office, his boss was still chattering, asking him to go back quickly.
…………
Fang Wei returned to his hometown and after meeting his parents, he went directly to Guo Peng and said, "Has the company that hired me changed recently?"
Guo Peng said, "There hasn't been much change, but the main person in charge really couldn't wait any longer. They went back first, leaving only one person waiting for you at the county guest house."
Fang Wei said, "Let's go to the guest house now and see the person we meet and see what he says."
The two people came to the county guest house, knocked on the door, and walked in. They were waiting for Fang Wei's man, whose surname was He. Guo Peng called him Boss He.
Guo Peng introduced Boss He and Fang Wei to each other. The three of them greeted each other warmly and then chatted happily.
Fang Wei asked Boss He about some specific details of the planned factory construction. Boss He gave a serious explanation. He told Fang Wei: "Our two shareholders plan to jointly build a chemical plant. The initial plan is to build a production line first. I sincerely want to
Hire Master Fang to be our factory design engineer."
Fang Wei said, "Boss He has given me an award. How can I be an engineer? I can only read some drawings and understand most of the production process. I wonder if I can meet your requirements?"
Boss He said, "Master Fang is being humble. After many inquiries and recommendations from others, we determined that you have the ability and meet our requirements. So we thought of many ways and asked your good friend Guo Peng to go to the south to find you.
"
Fang Wei said, "Thank you, Boss He, for your trust. I don't have anything else to say. It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Boss He said with a smile: "Master Fang, I think you are younger than me. Would you mind if I call you Brother Fang?"
Fang Wei said, "Well, we have a good relationship, Boss He. From now on, we will call each other brothers. That will be much simpler, and it will save us a lot of unaccustomed titles."
Boss He carefully observed that Fang Wei was also a good-natured person. From the expression on his face, he could not see how excited he was. He felt that there was not much room for bargaining, so he took out the drafted letter of intent from his bag, handed it to Fang Wei, and then said
"Brother Fang, this is our preliminary draft of the contract. You can take a look at it first. If you are not satisfied with it, we can discuss it again."
Fang Wei read the contract and said, "Boss He, I've read the contract. I want to go to the site for an on-site inspection to learn more about the situation. Let's talk about the conditions later. Do you think that's okay?"
Boss He felt that what he said was reasonable. The young man was so prudent and sophisticated in his work, and he felt a bit of respect. He said, "I completely agree with my brother's idea. So without further ado, I will go buy the tickets right away and leave as soon as possible."
The better, do you have any other opinions?"
Fang Wei said, "Boss He, please make arrangements as soon as possible. I'm ready and can leave at any time."
………
Although Boss He is from another province, it is more than 300 kilometers away from Fang Wei's hometown. If you take an express train, you can get there in more than six hours.
Fang Wei came to the provincial capital city of Boss He and drove to the Instrument Factory Labor Service Company. He met Manager Zhang and other key leaders, who warmly entertained Fang Wei.
Fang Wei rested all night, and early the next morning, accompanied by the company's office director, he went to Boss He's village to check whether the selected factory site met the requirements for building a factory.
He did not return to the city that day and stayed in the village. In the evening, he discussed in detail the conditions and requirements for building the factory with the engineer sent by the company.
Fang Wei suggested that the factory should be located far away from the village. If it is too close, it will pollute the villagers, mainly due to the unpleasant smell. The people will definitely have opinions, and if it is not done well, it will cause trouble.
The shareholders and engineers listened to Fang Wei's suggestion and moved the factory site one kilometer north. They made preliminary plans regarding the purchase of finalized equipment, the processing of non-standard equipment, and the start time of civil engineering projects.
Fang Wei was busy for several days, wandering around the village. When he came to the only canteen in the village to buy daily necessities, he said to Boss He who accompanied him, "This is the busiest place in your village, which means it is quite popular."
It’s Wangfujing Street in Shengjing, am I right?”
Boss He laughed loudly after hearing this, and Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh too. Boss He said, "What you said is quite humorous. Are you praising our village, or are you laughing at our backwardness?"
Boss He is now the village branch secretary. He is definitely the head of the village and has an unshirkable responsibility for the development of his hometown.
After many efforts, he was introduced by a fellow villager in the same village who was engaged in construction in the provincial capital, and met the manager of the labor service company of the instrument factory. After negotiations, the two parties reached an agreement to build the factory.
Boss He transferred the land and part of the funds, and the labor service company took the lion's share to build a chemical production line in the name of Boss He's village.
The week flew by quickly. Fang Wei signed the employment contract and rushed back anxiously, fearing that he would miss his vacation and be reprimanded by his boss.
Fang Wei was sitting on the train, feeling restless and restless. His right eye kept twitching, as if something was about to happen. His heart was in a mess and his mind was filled with random thoughts.
Fang Wei has heard from the elders since he was a child that the left eye will make money and the right eye will bring misfortune. It may be said that this is superstitious. It left a deep impression on him when he was young.
Fang Wei returned to the factory without stopping, went to his boss to cancel his leave, and met Sister Lin in the corridor. The two exchanged a few words, and she said softly, "Fang Wei, let me tell you something, Wang Mei resigned yesterday."
Fang Wei was stunned immediately and was speechless for a long time. Wang Mei was relatively simple and somewhat childish. If she lost her temper, she might do something outrageous.
Fang Wei began to wonder whether Wang Mei's resignation had something to do with him. If that was the case, it would be a big trouble. He hurriedly asked, "Sister, where did Wang Mei go after her resignation? Do you know?"
Sister Lin said, "She didn't say anything, and I don't know either. She took all her things away, and left a letter before she left, asking me to give it to you."
Sister Lin sighed, turned around and walked to the desk, took out the letter from the bottom of the drawer, handed it to Fang Wei, and said, "What a good girl, it's really heartbreaking. She just left without saying a word."
."
Fang Wei reached out and took the letter without reading it, put it in his coat pocket, and asked, "Sister, I'm a timid person, don't scare me. Let me ask again, you really don't know where she is.
Yes, you still wanted to hide it from me. You haven't asked anyone else to see if they know where Wang Mei is."
Sister Lin said, "I usually joke with you, that's true. What time is it now, Wang Mei has left, and you don't even think about it, I still have the intention to joke with you? Wang Mei's resignation was so sudden, everyone
Unexpectedly. She just went to work in the morning and went to see her boss. She didn't go through the resignation formalities and returned to the office without saying a word. Everyone felt something was wrong. When they asked, they found out that she had resigned.
It didn't have any effect. She didn't leave anything behind, and several colleagues chased her out without stopping her. They just watched her get into a taxi. Maybe Wang Mei was heartbroken and felt that there was nothing to do.
Those who are nostalgic will leave decisively."
Sister Lin described what happened, and Fang Wei felt nervous and felt that the situation was serious. A girl left without leaving a word and left in such a hurry. What should she tell her parents if something happened?
Fang Wei thought of this and said, "I don't know exactly where Wang Mei lives. I just know the general direction. Sister, can you accompany me?"
Sister Lin said, "On the day she left, several colleagues went to look for her. The landlord said that she came back and put down her things and then left. The landlord didn't know where she went."
Fang Wei said, "It's been two days since you were looking for her. Maybe she has come back and is at home now. Please accompany me to have a look."
Sister Lin was delighted and quickly packed up the things on her desk. The two of them took a taxi and went straight to Wang Mei's residence.
The two came to the place where Wang Mei lived. The door was locked. Fang Wei quickly went to ask the landlady. Wang Mei had moved her things yesterday. It seemed that they had moved them to her fellow villagers. She didn't know where exactly it was.
Apparently, there was no news from Wang Mei.
Fang Wei and Sister Lin walked aimlessly and turned around a few streets. They looked at the back of the girl who was walking. She looked a little like Wang Mei. The two walked forward quickly. For this reason, they made a lot of noise.
joke.
