Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 526 regret

"Heh, having a high position really does breed arrogance."

"Hu Xuefeng, you’re wrong. It’s not because of my high position; it’s because I believe in the facts. Have you heard the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf? What do you think your actions are?

Did you think that without Lv Beiguang asking me, I would arrange a job for you? That’s too naive."

After Jiang Xinyu finished speaking, she stood up. It was almost time to clock out of work, soon it would be time to eat.

Hu Xuefeng bowed her head and walked out of the factory director’s office. She just felt helpless, also she just wanted Jiang Xinyu to no longer be the factory director, but didn’t expect she would lose her job.

It was a real miscalculation, now she’ll have to go back to the countryside to live, she has nothing left.

Hu Xuefeng packed her things in a daze and left the textile factory, but she was really very unwilling, so she directly went to find Zhao Zhongshuo.

"Now because of you I lost my job, what do you say I should do?"

"It wasn’t me who fired you. Also, I don’t have a job now."

The once honest Zhao Zhongshuo had completely changed. Gone was his former honest and upright appearance, now he was unshaven and looked utterly dispirited.

"Zhao Zhongshuo, you’re really not human."

"Heh, I’m not human? But I’m not a thankless wolf either." He knew this move from Hu Xuefeng was useless, since Jiang Xinyu dared to fire Hu Xuefeng, then she must have a way to deal with it.

Not acceptable, I have to go find my second brother, if this doesn’t work, then I’ll talk about Jiang Xinyu selling the job to Kong Mengjie.

"Hu Xuefeng, you can leave now."

"Heh, are you just planning to burn the bridge after crossing the river? But don’t get too smug. I may be no good, but I’m waiting to see your outcome. Let’s see if you can handle Jiang Xinyu."

Hu Xuefeng finished speaking and left laughing heartily.

Suddenly Zhao Zhongshuo thought, he should ask Kong Mengjie about this first, so he doesn’t botch things up.

So he hurried to boil water and tidy himself up to meet his beloved woman, making sure she doesn’t see him in such a ragged state.

He didn’t dare wait at the entrance of the textile factory, afraid that the security section would beat him, so he had to wait at Huang Hongwei’s front door.

When Kong Mengjie and her husband returned, they saw Zhao Zhongshuo at the door.

Huang Hongwei frowned, unwilling to get involved with this person now. "What are you doing at my doorstep?" He was supposed to pick up the kids, but he really couldn’t rest easy about his wife, remembering the inappropriate behavior of Zhao Zhongshuo towards Mengjie.

"Mengjie, I have something to ask you." He completely ignored Huang Hongwei, planning to deal with him once he got the task related to Jiang Xinyu done for Kong Demin.

"Hongwei, go pick up the kids, I’ll wait for you here."

Huang Hongwei always listened well, despite not wanting to, he still left.

"Speak up, what do you want from me? Don’t drag me into it. Isn’t Hu Xuefeng just fired? Today Qian Jun clearly said, if anyone makes any small moves below, they’ll be fired directly."

"Mengjie, Hu Xuefeng is useless, I’m thinking about using the matter of Jiang Xinyu selling the job to you."

Kong Mengjie crossed her arms and sneered, "Are you dreaming? That would just make me lose my job, I’m not as foolish as Hu Xuefeng. Do you think you can actually deal with Jiang Xinyu?

She has no weaknesses, and even if she did, there would be people above to protect her.

You’ve simplified Jiang Xinyu too much. I don’t care what you do, but don’t implicate me.

You should know Qian Jun has already blown up, heh, see from your expression, you look down on Qian Jun, but you’ve forgotten, he was promoted from secretary to factory director, that’s not something ordinary people can achieve.

That’s all I’ll say, Zhao Zhongshuo, I’m telling you, you better fend for yourself."

"Mengjie, Mengjie, I’m thinking about our future."

"What future do we have, Zhao Zhongshuo? I have a husband, I have children, please don’t disturb my life.

To be honest, I really don’t think much of you." With these words from Kong Mengjie, Zhao Zhongshuo was completely stunned, didn’t expect to be so worthless in Kong Mengjie’s eyes.

"I did this for you, to be with you, that’s why I agreed to your second brother’s plea."

"Heh, there’s no need to make excuses for yourself. I know what kind of person you are, haven’t you figured out yet why I abandoned you and chose Huang Hongwei instead? Because you’re too useless."

After hearing his beloved woman say that, Zhao Zhongshuo couldn’t accept it at all, he looked at Kong Mengjie in a dazed and struck pose.

"Alright, don’t appear in front of me anymore, I don’t want to see you."

"Mengjie, how can you treat me like this? I genuinely love you."

"Love me? You’re just unwilling to accept it, right? Forget it, just remember, don’t come looking for me anymore?"

After saying this, she glanced at Zhao Zhongshuo with disdain. For a man, it’s simply an enormous humiliation.

"Kong Mengjie, you’ll regret this someday, absolutely will."

"Heh." Her response was a cold laugh.

Unable to stand it anymore, Zhao Zhongshuo turned and left.

Their conversation at the door had already been overheard by Zhang Bao Hua and his companion.

Afterwards, the two continued to monitor Kong Mengjie, following Zhao Zhongshuo as he left.

During the day, there was no one from the management committee watching Jiang Xinyu’s home, they were all squatting at the factory gate, afraid she might flee.

So Zhang Bao Hua and his companion hurried back to sort out the news, ensuring Jiang Xinyu would know. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

With anger boiling, Zhao Zhongshuo stormed off. On the way, he thought about what Kong Mengjie had said, feeling utterly humiliated.

Originally, he planned to find Kong Demin, but since Kong Mengjie wouldn’t cooperate, he had nothing to do. He’d already met Kong Demin’s requirements, now he’d just wait.

However, he was a bit worried about his future life, the length of time would eventually make eating a problem, as his grain ration had been transferred to the neighborhood committee, just the basic supply, barely enough to do anything.

Besides, there were elders at home that needed to be taken care of, the pressure of living really was too great.

Now he regretted collaborating with Kong Demin, leaving him without a job presently, and the promised position as workshop director was a complete fraud.

He hung his head and went home, seeing his seventy-year-old mother cooking in the kitchen; now they had almost no conversation, because Kong Mengjie ignored his sister’s situation in the countryside, now his mother probably felt disappointed in him?

"Mom."

Mrs. Zhao didn’t say anything, but there was still porridge for two in the pot.

Zhao Zhongshuo felt embarrassed, but he was used to it. Ever since he was fired, his mom stopped talking to him, what was he really pursuing?
