Chapter 336: Seeking Help
"You...you bastard!"
After listening to Zhao Minglei's story, Wang Juan's face suddenly changed. She stomped her feet and cursed at Zhao Minglei.
"You didn't even say hello for such a big thing? Not only did you not tell me, but you didn't even tell Brother Liming? Now that something's happened, you come and think of me? I... How the hell did I get to know a piece of shit like you!"
"Juanzi... Juanzi, you have to save me, Juanzi..." Zhao Minglei was already panicking. No matter how stupid he was, he now understood that something must have happened. Even though he had been using various reasons and excuses to comfort himself, the facts were already before him. How could Zhao Minglei not be anxious?
Zhao Minglei hugged Wang Juan's arm tightly, and his tears were about to fall. Can he blame himself for this? You all acted like hands-off bosses. Wasn't he the one who was busy all the time in Dashilar? You were all smiling when you divided the money, and now you blame me for something wrong? Zhao Minglei felt extremely wronged.
"Let go!" Wang Juan frowned. Zhao Minglei refused to let go and pulled her arm with a pleading look.
Wang Juan originally thought that Zhao Minglei had a good appearance no matter what, and he worked hard in Dazhalan. But now, for some reason, Wang Juan felt extremely disgusted with Zhao Minglei's face, as if she had seen a mangy dog.
"Juanzi! One night of marriage means a hundred nights of love. After all, we have been together before... For the sake of our relationship, please save me, save me!" Zhao Minglei not only did not let go, but he actually knelt down, his face covered with tears and snot.
Three million four hundred and eighty thousand! This is a sum of money that an ordinary person cannot earn in several lifetimes. Now that the money is gone, let alone Zhang Liming and Wang Juan, can those merchants who paid the advance payment let him off?
It's impossible to think about it. You have to know that in this era, people can be killed for tens of yuan, let alone a huge sum of 3.48 million yuan. Zhao Minglei is still young and has a bright future. He doesn't want to be beaten to death.
"Let go! Let go, you bastard!" Wang Juan, whose thighs were hugged, was angry and annoyed. She never expected Zhao Minglei to do such a thing. She tried to shake him off several times but couldn't. This made Wang Juan's face turn red all of a sudden.
At this time, several young people who came out after hearing the noise also saw this scene from a distance, pointing at Wang Juan and the others with various expressions of surprise and excitement.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
"Oh my god! This is really eye-opening, brother. The person kneeling there looks familiar. Who is he?"
"Isn't it Zhao Minglei, the one from Wang Juan... Why is he here? Why is he kneeling again? Oh my, he's actually crying. This grown man is crying and sobbing. What's the matter that makes him so sad?"
"What? Are you talking about that? Oh, I see, I see. Hahaha, I didn't expect that Zhao Minglei is actually a romantic guy? He cried like this over such a trivial matter? Hahaha!"
"Hey, brother, don't gloat over someone else's misfortune. Why don't you go up and try to persuade them? After all, you and Zhao Minglei are brothers-in-law."
"Bah! You are the brother-in-law, your whole family are brothers-in-law!"
“Haha. Hahahaha…!”
A few guys were pointing and talking in this direction, laughing and talking unscrupulously. Although they were some distance away, their words could still be heard faintly, which made Wang Juan almost ashamed to death.
"Bastard!" Wang Juan cursed with gritted teeth, looking at Zhao Minglei who was hugging her thigh and crying non-stop. If she had a knife in her hand right now, she would have wanted to chop him to pieces.
She had really lost face today. If this , she would become a laughing stock in the circle. Thinking of this, Wang Juan felt angry and anxious.
"Save me! Save me, Juanzi. You have a good relationship with Brother Liming. Please help me put in a few good words in front of Brother Liming. Give me a hand. Give me a hand! I will work like a slave to repay you in the future..."
Zhao Minglei was really panicking. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Besides, he already had a start, so why would he care about whether he would lose face? Moreover, he knew very well that the only person who could save him now was Zhang Liming, and if Zhang Liming could help him, only Wang Juan could.
Wang Juan's teeth were about to break. Zhao Minglei was like a mangy dog that couldn't be shaken off. If he continued, he would be the only one to be embarrassed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Juan suppressed her anger and had to agree to Zhao Minglei's request, which made Zhao Minglei calm down a little.
After Zhao Minglei got up from the ground, Wang Juan took him out of the yard without looking back and got straight into Zhao Minglei's car.
After the two of them left, the crowd that had been watching the show dispersed with great interest. At this time, Hu Yaoqing, who had been standing on the right side of the door, looked thoughtfully at the direction where Zhao Minglei and his car were going away.
After thinking for a while, Hu Yaoqing waved to a young man not far away, and the young man immediately rushed forward. Hu Yaoqing whispered a few words in the young man's ear, and the young man nodded repeatedly, then ran out the door.
After the young man left, Hu Yaoqing returned to the house. The music had stopped at this time, and everyone was still talking enthusiastically about the rare scene that had just happened.
"Why did the music stop?" Hu Yaoqing frowned and looked around, then waved at a younger brother and said, "Why are you so excited about other people's private affairs? Are you here to have a tea party? Everyone, keep playing! Keep playing! Come on! Keep playing the music and keep dancing!"
Zhang Liming works in a ministry and is very busy on weekdays, so of course it is impossible for him to be at home during working hours.
As a child of a large compound, Zhang Liming has always maintained a perfect image. After getting a job, he moved out of the compound and lived in the dormitory building of the ministry.
On weekdays, Zhang Liming rarely has any entertainment activities. Apart from working at the unit, he accompanies his leaders in some receptions. When he has nothing to do, he returns to the dormitory building after get off work, prepares some simple meals for himself, and lives like an ordinary person.
To outsiders, Zhang Liming does not have any extravagant hobbies. He always wears clean and simple clothes. Even the Shanghai Hai watch on his wrist is an old watch used by his grandfather in the family. He has worn it for many years and the surface has become a little rough. However, Zhang Liming is still reluctant to change it. He even said with a smile that the watch has commemorative significance and he plans to pass it on to his children in the future.
Since he is not married yet, Zhang Liming is single now, although as a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Liming has never lacked suitors of the opposite sex, such as a woman like Wang Juan.
But compared to some other people, Zhang Liming, who is ambitious and has pursuits, is very cautious when it comes to men and women. Although he has good relationships with many lesbians, these are just superficial relationships. He never crosses the line and is a recognized modest gentleman.
I heard that the higher-ups value Zhang Liming very much. After being transferred back to Yanjing, Zhang Liming was not only highly valued, but there seemed to be news that he might be demoted to an important local position next year.
Zhang Liming has had work experience in the military, local governments and ministries, and his rank has now been raised to a higher level. In addition, Zhang Liming has a college degree (workers, peasants and soldiers are also college students), and is a well-deserved and important member of the young cadre echelon. Naturally, the organization should vigorously cultivate such young people.
This is indeed the case. Zhang Liming, who has always been strict with himself, has entered the cadre inspection stage. Zhang Liming is very confident in his abilities and means. He has begun to secretly arrange his trip to the local level next year and is ready to work hard.
Zhang Liming got off work early today because his direct superior went out of town for an inspection. Zhang Liming was busy with office work as it was the National Day, so he did not accompany him and stayed in the office to handle these matters.
The ministry and its dormitory building were not far away, only half an hour's walk. Zhang Liming did not ride a bike to and from work. He walked out of the ministry carrying a black briefcase , and nodded cordially to say hello and goodbye to comrades he knew or didn't know along the way.
On the way back, Zhang Liming stopped by a nearby vegetable market. Although the food at the market at night was not as fresh and varied as in the early morning, Zhang Liming could only go there at this time due to work reasons.
Like ordinary people, Zhang Liming bought some vegetables and chatted with the vegetable sellers, asking about the supply and prices of vegetables and meat in Yanjing Market. Zhang Liming has been insisting on these simple and insignificant details over the years. This is also the key to Zhang Liming's ability to give impeccable answers at the first time whenever the leaders think of some livelihood issues, thus winning the attention and recognition of the leaders.
It must be said that Zhang Liming is gifted in this area, and has abilities and ideas that ordinary people do not have. In addition, Zhang Liming is much better than ordinary people in suppressing his desires. For example, Zhang Liming never spends the money he gets from Zhao Minglei, because although he loves money, he loves his reputation more, and he does not want to destroy the image he has worked so hard to establish because of his carelessness.
As for women, Zhang Liming is the same.
Zhang Liming is not a monk. He also has seven emotions and six desires. It is impossible for him to cut off his "desires". It's just that he is more restrained and has higher pursuits than ordinary people. This gives outsiders the image of a gentleman who is not interested in women.
Just like now, Zhang Liming was carrying a briefcase and the vegetables he had just bought, and was walking towards the dormitory without looking around. However, as he walked, he couldn't help but recall the scene of going to the song and dance troupe yesterday.
Yesterday, Zhang Liming went to the song and dance troupe on behalf of the ministry office to discuss the arrangements for the National Day performance. He happened to see a very beautiful girl in the troupe. This girl was handsome, tall, and had a good voice. Listening to her singing was like listening to the singing of a lark. Zhang Liming was immediately attracted to her.
It was because of the appearance of this girl that Zhang Liming specifically proposed in a work conversation that he hoped some young comrades would take the lead in arranging the programs for this National Day. This suggestion was approved by the leaders of the group, who said it could be considered.
In this way, Zhang Liming can use this opportunity to transform this girl from a newcomer into a possible participant in the show, and at the same time, he can also use this incident to have a legitimate reason to get close to the other party.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liming couldn't help but smile. Especially when he thought of the girl's sweet face and impeccable figure, Zhang Liming felt as if a fire was burning in his lower abdomen.
Walking briskly into the dormitory building, Zhang Liming was about to walk into the doorway when Wang Juan suddenly appeared from nowhere, almost scaring him. Not only Wang Juan, but also Zhao Minglei was there. Seeing the two of them, Zhang Liming's face suddenly darkened.
