Xu Fang became nervous as soon as she heard what her daughter told her.
“Is there a bad person?”
“No, there is a female classmate from my former university who also lives in this community with her son. I don’t like her very much and don’t want to associate with her.”
Xu Fang was relieved at this, "Okay, don't worry, Mom knows."
Ji Ling then went to the kitchen to cook.
Halfway through the meal, a guest came to the house. It was Rong Junjie, carrying fruit.
Ji Ling was surprised, "Why are you here?"
“Why can’t I come?”
“You haven’t gotten off work yet, right?” Ji Ling took the fruit and put it aside, then gave him slippers to change into.
Rong Junjie smiled, "Uncle and aunt are here?"
“Junjie is here.” Ji Yong came out of the bedroom holding Lovely in his arms.
After saying hello, Rong Junjie knew that the two old people had just arrived today, so he asked Ji Ling why she didn't tell him so that he could treat his uncle and aunt to dinner.
Ji Ling smiled, "My parents don't want to go out to eat, so I'm making it at home. You're here just in time. Let's eat here tonight."
When he was working at work, Rong Junjie took good care of him, and Ji Ling did not talk to him.
Rong Junjie rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll give you a hand."
“It’s better not to come in and cause trouble.” Ji Ling asked him to talk to his parents.
Rong Junjie started to obey, but got into the kitchen halfway.
Ji Ling saw him coming in and turned back to continue chopping vegetables.
Rong Junjie saw the cucumbers soaked in water, picked up one and bit into it, "I heard from Yao Wu that you want to resign?"
“Did you come here after hearing this?”
"That's right. I haven't met each other since you went on vacation. Your affairs are almost settled. I thought you wouldn't be busy anymore so I came over to see you."
Ji Ling kept moving her hands and mouth, "If you want to see me, just call me at any time. Do you have to wait for me to finish my work? If you talk like this again, you are a heretic. As for resigning, you I also saw that I have two children now. I didn’t spend much time with my children before, but so many things happened, and I want to spend more time with my two children.”
"You don't have to resign to be with your children, right? Do you know how difficult it is to get into our unit? You became the section chief not long after you came in. It shows that the higher-ups attach great importance to you. It's just that you had a lot of things at home a few days ago, so the higher-ups didn't think about it. I’m giving you a holiday to rest, it’s not like I don’t value you anymore.”
"You know what's going on, it's useless to lie to me with these words." Ji Ling smiled, "You say I am capable at work, but if something happens, you think I am not good here. How can there be such a reason?"
It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.
She knew very well how hard Ji Ling worked, but what did she get in return? Just abandon it if you say it is abandoned. The clay figurine still has a clay nature, and besides, she is still a human being.
Rong Junjie smiled, "You're not pretending now? I really thought you didn't care, but it turns out you do too."
“Yes, why don’t you care?”
"Then didn't you also keep a hand? Many of the previous plans were proposed by you. Now that you leave, no one can figure it out. The leaders have talked to me several times, and they always asked me to come forward to persuade them. When you go back, I also want to let you be the head of the department, and I want to promote you."
"I'll go back if you ask me to. That's too shameless." Ji Ling and Rong Junjie didn't hide it either. "I thought I'd wait a little longer, but I really don't want to spend time with the children these days. It’s time to go to work. We are friends, so don’t try to persuade me. I will submit a resignation application in a few days, and you just need to approve it."
Rong Junjie raised his hands and surrendered, "Okay, I can't make the decision on this matter. You are no longer under my control now. You are so capable and your superiors won't approve it. You'd better have a good rest and then come back to work with peace of mind." That's the serious thing. Being promoted is something that others only dream of doing, so why don't you care about it?"
“Isn’t this a side job?” Ji Ling laughed.
In the evening, Rong Junjie drank with Ji Yong. Ji Ling was worried that Rong Junjie would drink so much and drive back, so she wanted to drive him back herself.
The two of them went downstairs and found that it was raining outside. "This is the first rain today." Rong Jun stopped Ji Ling and said, "Okay, I'll take a taxi back. You go in quickly so you don't get wet."
"I'll take you off. It won't take more than a few steps. I'm not that delicate. I'll get sick if I get caught in a little rain."
After hearing this, Rong Junjie simply took off his coat and handed it to Ji Ling, "Put it on."
Ji Ling didn't want him to worry, so she took the coat and put it on her head. The two of them trotted to the car, got in the car and drove away without noticing the figure standing in the dark.
Zhu Weidong was holding fruit in his hand. He hid in the dark when he saw two figures coming down the corridor.
Then he saw his wife and Rong Junjie walking away chatting and laughing happily.
I can feel that the two of them get along well with each other, and they get along very happily.
Zhu Weidong felt empty in his heart. He didn't know how long he stood outside until his wife came back and found her.
Ji Ling was holding an umbrella and saw Zhu Weidong standing in the rain. He didn't know how long he had been standing, and his clothes were all soaked.
"Why don't you go in?" Ji Ling called him, ran into the corridor first, and then put away her umbrella.
Zhu Weidong followed up with fruits, "I heard that your parents are here, and I wanted to come and have a look."
“They didn’t let you in?”
Zhu Weidong was silent.
Ji Ling said, "Come on, come up with me and I'll talk to my dad."
“No, I didn’t go up, I just stood down there for a while.” After hearing that his wife had misunderstood, Zhu Weidong started to explain.
Ji Ling stopped and looked back, frowning and looking at Zhu Weidong, "You didn't see me seeing Rong Junjie off, and then just stood there the whole time, right?"
"Um."
Ji Ling didn't know what to say to him, so she held back her words for a long time, "Then you go standing."
Abandoning the words, he went upstairs angrily.
This man came here and suffered miserably, but Ji Ling felt really distressed when she saw it.
Ji Ling was angry that the other party used this method to make her feel guilty, and Ji Ling was angry with herself for being soft-hearted.
Back upstairs, Ji Ling entered the room and left the door open for Zhu Weidong.
The two children were already asleep. Xu Fang came out when she heard the noise. Ji Ling told them to rest, and Xu Fang returned to the guest room.
A few minutes later, Zhu Weidong came in carrying fruit.
Ji Ling took out a towel and handed it to him, "Wipe it off, then go home."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Weidong stopped moving his hands after taking the towel.
Ji Ling: She grabbed the towel and said, "Let's go."
Afraid that my parents would hear me, I had to suppress my voice when speaking.
“I wiped it.” Seeing that his wife was angry, Zhu Weidong quickly admitted his mistake.
Ji Lingcai threw the towel back on him, turned around and entered the bedroom, picked up the phone and called Zhu Yaowu.
Zhu Yaowu was very noisy over there. He was probably playing outside with his friends. After answering Ji Ling's call, he ran outside to talk again, and then the phone became quiet.
“Come here to pick up your eldest brother. It’s raining outside and he doesn’t know the way.”
