Chapter 102 Job Interview
The phone was ringing, but I was hesitant to answer it. Hua Jingjing's calls were nothing more than looking for trouble, pestering me, and then finding an excuse to meet me. Since she confessed her feelings to me, this willful and unruly daughter of a wealthy family suddenly became passionate and aggressive towards me. I couldn't resist and was defeated. I had no choice but to run away and avoid seeing her.
I originally wanted to let the phone ring without answering it, so as to create the illusion that I was not near the phone, and Hua Jingjing would naturally stop calling after a while. But Hua Jingjing seemed to be determined to get on with it, and if I didn't answer it, she would keep calling my phone until it exploded.
If I turned off my phone, I would fall into her trap. Because I promised her that I would never refuse to answer the phone without a reason. Turning off my phone would show that I saw her call but refused to answer it. If she caught me making a mistake, how could she let it go? She would definitely ask for punishment again. Oh my! I get a headache just thinking about all the various methods she has.
Helplessly, I sighed and answered the phone: "Hello!"
"Humph! Humph! You're finally willing to answer? I thought you would pretend to the end and ignore me!"
"I... was sleeping, I didn't hear you! Auntie, what do you want?"
"You're still sleeping now? Come on! Look at the time. You don't have to go to work, but there's no need to be lazy like a pig!"
"Who are you talking about? I came back so late and I've only slept for more than three hours. Do you think I'm an iron man?"
"Late? When I sent you home last night, it was not even ten o'clock? Ah... I understand! Tang Qian! You are so cunning! You must have gone back to see your girlfriend as soon as I left, right? You have only slept for three hours so far, so you didn't come back until dawn? Ah! You... you and your girlfriend stayed together until dawn? I... I don't care! Tang Qian, you are so shameless, you are unfair! You didn't even agree to hug me, but you and your girlfriend lingered until dawn! It really... pissed me off!"
Seeing Hua Jingjing getting angry and jealous, I couldn't help but laugh. "What are you talking about? I didn't promise you anything, why are you so excited? Besides, even if I stay with my girlfriend until dawn, isn't that natural? It's not illegal, so why do you say I'm shameless?"
"Tang Qian! No! I need to see you right now! Come out right now, I... I have to find out what shameful things you and your girlfriend have done?"
"I'm busy! I'm sleepy! Besides, how can I tell you something so personal?"
"Tang Qian... Oh my! I'm so sad! You won't come out, right? Well, wait for me, I'll come right over to your house!"
I was shocked. She came to my house? Wouldn't that mean there would be a big fight? I hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! Okay, okay! I'll tell you the truth. I wasn't with my girlfriend last night. I was busy with other things and came back late. Is that okay? Are you happy?"
"Stop it! What else can you do if you don't go meet your girlfriend at this late hour? You said you would never lie to me again!"
"I'm not lying! Don't worry about what I do, it has nothing to do with you. But I promise I didn't see my girlfriend last night!"
"real?"
"real!"
Hua Jingjing laughed loudly on the phone, seeming to be much happier, but after a moment she said sourly: "Tang Qian, tell me honestly, how far have you and your girlfriend progressed? Have you... have you... done that?"
I asked, “Which one?”
"Humph! You are so mean! You clearly know the answer, but you deliberately make it so that the girl can't speak out, right?"
I really understood, but you, Hua Jingjing, are bold and daring, is there anything you can't say? I touched my forehead and sighed, how could I have gotten involved with such a difficult woman? After holding it in for a long time, I finally told the truth: "To tell you the truth, there is nothing wrong between me and my girlfriend, and none of the things you think have happened. Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied? What else do you want me to tell you?"
"Really? If you lie to me you're a puppy!"
"Alright! If I lie to you, I'm a puppy! Alright? Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll hang up now. I'm sleepy!"
"Wait a minute! I have something to do, but I'll tell you tonight. Tang Qian, you... are so nice! I don't know how to praise you. Let's have dinner together tonight, it's my treat! There is also something very important I want to tell you, you will definitely be very happy. Wait for my call and I will pick you up."
I frowned and said, "Why don't you just tell me over the phone now? Why wait until the evening? That would be too much trouble."
"I want to see you! That matter is very important to you! You will regret it if you don't listen!"
I had a feeling that I would have to deal with her again when we met in the evening. It was really a headache! But what was the important thing she was talking about? It was so mysterious! I hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was a blessing in disguise, and it was impossible to avoid Hua Jingjing's entanglement in the short term. Fortunately, after these days of contact, I already had some experience in dealing with her, and she really liked me, so why should I be afraid that she would play tricks on me?
So I said, "Let's talk about it tonight. I don't know if I'll be free then. I'll hang up now!"
"And! There's one more thing I want to tell you!"
"Are you annoying? What's the matter? Tell me now!"
"Tang Qian, I... love you so much! You are so cute! Please continue to maintain the pure relationship with your girlfriend, please! Haha! Goodbye!"
I listened to the busy tone on the phone with a mixture of laughter and tears, and could only shake my head. This Hua Jingjing, ah! I really don't know what to say about her.
I threw away my phone and fell asleep. I thought I was finally at peace and could finally have a good sleep. But within a minute, the damn phone rang again. I cried out inwardly: "Oh my God! Are you killing me? It's so hard to sleep now!"
I grabbed the phone in anger, took a look and quickly sat up. The person calling was Zhao Yanjin, it seemed he had news.
Sure enough, after the call was connected, Zhao Yanjin said, "Old Tang, I just contacted my friend, and he said that as long as I introduced him, there would be no problem. But he hopes that you can help as soon as possible, because his wife's complaints have almost scared him. So he hopes to meet you at noon and take you to his store. You still need to follow his wife to get familiar with her for a day or two!"
"We're meeting at noon? What time? Where?"
"After lunch, let's say at twelve o'clock. Why don't we just eat together, and then I'll take you to see him."
"Okay! I'll wait for you at the company gate when you get off work!"
"Okay! See you later!"
I put down my phone and jumped out of bed. It seems that I can't sleep during the day. Besides, I have to go for a job interview later, so I have to shave and comb my hair to make a good impression on the employer.
It was almost time, so I washed and combed my hair, dressed neatly, and shaved my beard. I explained to my parents and left.
It was almost time to get off work at noon, and I returned to the familiar Green Lady building. In order to avoid running into acquaintances, I chose the China Bank business hall opposite the building to wait for Lao Zhao to come out. Seeing that there were still a few minutes left, I opened a pack of cigarettes I had just brought from home and started smoking while observing the opposite side.
Before I could take two puffs, I saw someone hurriedly walking out of the company building opposite. It was Cheng Jia. I was overjoyed. She was my benefactor, so I should go and say hello to her.
I was about to push open the glass door of the bank to greet her, but I saw a motorcycle quickly stop in front of Cheng Jia. The person on the seat greeted her, and Cheng Jia immediately rode behind him and put on the helmet handed by the person in front. Because the person in front was wearing a helmet with a windshield mask, I didn't know what he looked like, but I knew he was definitely a man, and judging from his clothes, he wouldn't be old. After Cheng Jia put on the helmet, she naturally hugged the waist of the person in front, and the motorcycle roared and drove away immediately.
I guess that person is most likely Cheng Jia's boyfriend? Where are they going in such a hurry?
I was just thinking about it when the Green Lady employees came out of the building to have lunch. Soon Zhao Yanjin also came out, and I called him and told him I was across the street.
The first thing Lao Zhao said when he met me was, "Lao Tang, have you been waiting for a long time? I wanted to get out earlier, but today, I don't know what the big tiger did. She scolded everyone in the sales department who she didn't like. She was so angry that we were all scared. Who dared to offend her? Well , let's go fill our stomachs first, and then I'll take you to see my friend."
I could only smile bitterly in my heart. No one in the world knows better than me why Gu Ruoyan is so angry. How can she not be angry when she is upset, unsatisfied and sleep deprived? Alas! I just feel sorry for the brothers and sisters in the sales department!
Zhao Yanjin and I found a place to eat a bowl of noodles. Afterwards, he made a phone call. Not long after, a black Santana 2000 stopped in front of us.
The car door opened, and a man in his thirties stuck his head out and called Zhao Yanjin: "Old Zhao, get in the car!" Zhao Yanjin agreed and pushed me into the car.
The man turned around and looked at us. Zhao Yanjin introduced us with a smile: "Old Zheng, this is the guy I mentioned called Tang Qian. We used to be colleagues and we had a very close relationship! You have to take good care of him!"
The man also laughed and said, "Hey! Your friends are also my friends, don't worry! Besides, you've helped me a lot. My wife has been nagging me all day for a week, and my eardrums are almost calloused. I wanted to write a job advertisement, but I was afraid that the person I hired might not be clean. After all, the whole store would be entrusted to him, so I was worried! Now it's good, with your guarantee, what do I have to be afraid of?"
He stretched out his hand to me and said, "I am Zheng Jianye, and I am very grateful that Brother Tang can come and help me!"
