My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 238: Yesterday I only started talking about dating, but today I’m already flirting with someone else.
Chapter 238: Yesterday I only started talking about dating, but today I’m already flirting with someone else.
Lin Tang, sitting in the office, wilted like a sun-dried flower.
Longing for air conditioning!
Longing for a refrigerator!
She missed anything that could cool down the temperature.
It’s hard to transition from luxury to simplicity, and now she understood this deeply.
Ever since Lin Tang had submitted an article to the factory’s Broadcasting Station under her name, promoting the theme of striving for development, the staff at the Broadcasting Station walked with an air of importance.
Du Xiaojuan assigned Lin Tang more and more tasks that leaned towards clerical work.
Right now, Lin Tang was writing promotional material.
Someone knocked on the door of the office.
"Comrade Lin, there’s someone looking for you."
Lin Tang was stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.
She said to the male comrade at the door, "I got it, thank you, comrade."
The male comrade, faced with Comrade Lin’s pretty smile, blushed furiously, muttered a ’no need to thank,’ and practically ran away.
Lin Tang didn’t mind and informed her director before heading out of the factory.
Upon reaching the factory gate, she saw a face she recognized but wished not to see.
Liu Guohui.
Lin Tang believed she had nothing to say to him.
The moment she caught sight of him, she pivoted on her heel, intent on returning to the factory.
"Lin Tang!!!" Liu Guohui shouted.
Lin Tang heard but chose to ignore it as if she hadn’t.
Her pace didn’t slow in the slightest.
She truly seemed as though she was trying to avoid him at all costs.
Seeing this, Liu Guohui hurriedly ran in front of her to block her path.
Afraid of being hit, he took a few steps back.
"Why don’t you stop when I call you?" he complained discontentedly.
"Just because you call me, I have to stop?" Lin Tang’s face clearly said ’you’ve got some nerve,’ "I have nothing to say to you. Don’t come looking for me in the future!"
After speaking, she stepped around Liu Guohui, intending to enter the factory.
Liu Guohui looked at the imposing factory gate and felt the wild ambition burning inside him like a raging fire.
How could he possibly give up just like that?
He reached out to grab Lin Tang.
"No, you must listen to me, or you will definitely regret it," he said.
Lin Tang sensed his unwelcome grasp and sidestepped to avoid it, her expression growing cold.
"Are you threatening me?"
Liu Guohui, faced with those icy eyes, quickly lost his resolve.
He softened his tone, "No, I have something to tell you, about your cousin Lin Aiguo, something to do with the black market."
It was an outright threat.
Lin Tang’s gaze darkened abruptly as she gave Liu Guohui a deep look, then turned and followed him to a secluded corner.
This scene was witnessed by a man who happened to be passing by.
Gu Yingzhou’s thin lips pressed together slightly.
His brows furrowed all of a sudden.
An indescribable feeling crossed the bottom of his heart.
See, the young lady is unreliable, isn’t she?
’Yesterday,’ she was just discussing potential suitors, and ’today,’ she’s already flitting about with someone else.
Thinking this, he looked disdainfully at Liu Guohui.
With his murky eyes and sneaky appearance, making unwanted advances on a lady...
Shouldn’t someone like that be kicked aside on sight?
Lin Tang followed Liu Guohui to the corner, with no patience for small talk.
"Just get to the point."
She clenched her fist, gauging the force behind it, lest she accidentally send him flying with a single punch.
Liu Guohui carefully took a step back, maintaining a safe distance.
"Lin Aiguo is about to face some serious trouble," he said, launching into a threat, "If you want to help him, find me a job, or hand over your job to me. Otherwise, Lin Aiguo can look forward to jail time..."
Filled with the prospect of a promising future as an official, Liu Guohui’s eyes reddened with excitement.
Lin Tang gave Liu Guohui a glance, feeling that there was probably something a little off with his brain.
"You know, you aren’t exactly easy on the eyes, so why do you entertain such beautiful thoughts?"
She said sarcastically.
She sneered coldly.
"You say it’s prison and it’s prison?"
"If you’re so powerful, why bother asking me for a job? You might as well rule the entire universe."
Someone actually dared to threaten her, quite bold indeed.
Liu Guohui: "..." I wish I could, but I don’t have the ability.
And wouldn’t a normal person ask what’s going on first?
"...Don’t you want to know what Lin Aiguo has done, isn’t the Lin Family always united and loving? Could it be that even if he goes to jail, you think it doesn’t matter?"
After asking, he nodded and continued, "Right, right, you are now a worker, how could you possibly care about these things? If it were me, I wouldn’t care either, so we should be like family!"
For some reason, Lin Tang always felt that this guy was babbling nonsense.
It seemed his mind was really not normal.
"If you came to me just to talk to yourself, then I’m afraid I won’t keep you company."
Having said that, Lin Tang turned around intending to leave.
Seeing her about to walk away, Liu Guohui hurriedly took out a booklet from his chest.
"It seems you really don’t care about Lin Aiguo, but what if he could threaten you?"
His expression was sinister, his face filled with a last-ditch desperation.
"This is the evidence of Lin Aiguo’s investment fraud."
"The person he was in cahoots with has already confessed. If you don’t agree to my demands, I’ll take this evidence and report it."
"When that happens, with a cousin in prison and you having no connections or power in the county, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for you to keep living in glory."
He didn’t want to work in the fields anymore!
The work there was simply inhumane.
He wanted to sit in an office, wanted a secure job, he dreamed about it!
He had no one else to turn to, the only person he could approach was this fiancée he had once despised.
But it didn’t matter.
As long as he could get a job, he would even kneel before Lin Tang if necessary.
Lin Tang paused, a flicker in her eyes.
She turned her head, curiously looking at the booklet in Liu Guohui’s hand.
"You say it’s evidence, is it really evidence? How do I know you aren’t lying to me?"
"Besides, how could you possibly have this thing?"
She was full of distrust.
But Liu Guohui was brimming with confidence, holding up the booklet in his hand, opening it for Lin Tang to see.
"...On April 10th, Lin Aiguo sold a half jin of eggs, a basket of wild vegetables, a jin of mulberries, altogether for sixty cents..."
"On April 15th, Lin Aiguo sold a wild rabbit..."
The handwriting on the booklet was scribbled, twisted and slanted like a dog’s scrawl, not just ugly but almost unreadable.
It was impressive that Liu Guohui could make it out at all.
Swish—
Lin Tang reached out and snatched the booklet.
Just as she was about to open it and take a look, Liu Guohui panicked.
"Give it back to me!"
His features twisted in anxiety as he lunged at Lin Tang.
This booklet was something he had stolen from his uncle, and he had intended to make a copy of it.
Today, after being ridiculed by his sister-in-law at home, he took the booklet and came looking for her in a fit of rage.
If he lost it, not only would he miss out on the job, but his uncle would also not let him off the hook.
Lin Tang quickly sidestepped.
She kicked him away.
And pulled out a lighter.
Liu Guohui didn’t know what she was holding, but he felt an unease in his heart.
No!
It can’t!
This booklet must not have any problems!!
With this thought, Liu Guohui ignored the pain in his leg, got up with a fierce expression, and lunged at her again.
He yelled, "Lin Tang, give me back the booklet."
Gu Yingzhou had intended to leave, but for some reason, he didn’t make it.
He came back.
And ended up right here.
He immediately saw Liu Guohui charging toward the young woman.
The man’s expression turned cold in an instant, and an exceedingly unfamiliar surge of rage shot straight to his head.
