Chapter 571: The Hot-tempered Young Wife Captures the Warm-hearted and Handsome Factory Director 19
At that time, the country advocated that educated youth go to the countryside. In that era full of unknowns and challenges, Pei Jingping took the initiative to go. He put forward a condition to the Pei family, that he would use this trip to the countryside in exchange for his future freedom.
The spoiled young ladies and gentlemen of the Pei family lived a life of luxury and none of them were willing to endure hardships. Old Master Pei was extremely disappointed and agreed to Pei Jingping's request.
Several of the other young people in the circle who supported national construction were assigned to the same educated youth site as Pei Jingping. Even in the arduous rural environment, Pei Jingping led everyone to do a prosperous job and build educated youth sites better and better, which further established Pei Jingping's position in the hearts of everyone.
After returning home, Pei Jingping would not have asked his family for help if he had not been burdened by his children. However, after entering the factory, he relied on his own abilities to rise from an ordinary technician and work his way up to the position of factory director.
Pei Jingping is now not only a role model for his peers in the circle, but also the child of other people's families in the eyes of his parents, and has become the object of everyone's praise.
The reason why Zhou Chusheng was afraid of Pei Jingping was that when he met his elder brother, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. His elder brother was Pei Jingping's younger brother who could not even get a rank. How could he not be afraid?
Lin Yi was also deeply curious about Zhou Chusheng's attitude towards Pei Jingping. From the scattered words Tang Yuan had occasionally revealed, she had pieced together a glimpse of Pei Jingping's troubled past. Pei Jingping himself hadn't mentioned the past, so Lin Yi naturally didn't bother to ask.
The family walked side by side on the way home, their laughter echoed in the alley, and the warm atmosphere enveloped them like a soft halo.
However, when they arrived at the door of their home, the appearance of an uninvited guest instantly broke the tranquility and beauty.
"Master, she is Wang Na!" Tangyuan's voice was full of impatience.
Wang Na stood there, staring at the happy family of four. Jealousy was like a poisonous snake slithering wildly in her heart, burning her eyes red.
But she pretended to be extremely weak. She glanced timidly at Pei Jingping with a sense of grievance that she wanted to say but couldn't. Then, she turned her eyes full of resentment to Lin Yi, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Lin Yi, why are you trying to ruin my reputation? It's all over the factory right now. How will this benefit you? How can you let Director Pei live in the factory?"
Wang Na's words seemed weak, but they were sharp. In just a few words, she pushed Lin Yi to the opposite side of Pei Jingping, portraying her as a woman who had no sense of propriety and did not know how to advance or retreat.
Lin Yi sneered inwardly. Wang Na's white lotus style was too obvious. Since the other party was using such means, she decided to give them a taste of their own medicine. She wanted to see whose method was more sophisticated.
So, Lin Yi pretended to be extremely innocent and asked in a puzzled tone, "Do you know me? Why are you saying these inexplicable things to me?"
Wang Na was completely bewildered by Lin Yi's reaction. In her mind, Lin Yi was just a fool who would throw a tantrum at the slightest provocation if anything involved Pei Jingping.
But the Lin Yi in front of her was calm and indifferent, completely different from what her sister said. This instantly messed up the plot she had carefully designed, and for a moment, she didn't know how to continue.
Lin Yi watched Wang Na's frustrated expression and had a clear idea of her "rank" in her mind. In her eyes, such an opponent was nothing more than a fool, not worth the bother.
Just as Lin Yi and her child were about to bypass Wang Na, Wang Na finally regained her composure and suddenly cried out to Pei Jingping, "Director Pei, please help me! I've been working diligently at the factory, but this morning, my colleagues pointed fingers at me. Later, I learned that it was Lin Yi's mother who started the rumor, and it was your neighbors who spread it!"
Seeing that she couldn't get the upper hand over Lin Yi, Wang Na turned her attention to Pei Jingping, trying to use his power to achieve her own goals.
However, Pei Jingping's answer left Wang Na completely dumbfounded. "It seems the factory has been too idle lately, which is why some people are gossiping. We need to clean up our work style. Comrade Wang, give me a list. Once we confirm what you said, we will inform the entire factory about these gossipers!"
When Pei Jingping said this, he was righteous and serious, as if doing his job impartially, without any favoritism.
Wang Na almost cried when she heard this. She originally just wanted to sow discord between Lin Yi and Pei Jingping, but she didn't want to make so many enemies in the factory.
What's more, she had feelings for Pei Jingping that she shouldn't have. If this matter got out of hand, even if she really married Pei Jingping in the future, she would be criticized, which was not the result she wanted at all.
Wang Na clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning white, and her face was full of embarrassment. "Director Pei, the root of this matter lies with your mother-in-law. She was the one who spread rumors about us yesterday. Aren't you angry?"
"My mother-in-law is a very outspoken person. She's my elder, and I can't discipline her. I apologize to Comrade Wang here. We are innocent and will be cleared of all charges. From now on, we will abide by our duties and keep our distance. The rumors will naturally dissolve themselves. What do you think, Comrade Wang?"
Pei Jingping's expression was filled with impatience when he said this. Wang Na didn't dare to pester him any further. She had shown her affection to Pei Jingping several times before, but he hadn't responded. She was afraid that continuing to pester him would only backfire.
In desperation, Wang Na had to swallow her anger and said, "Director Pei is right, I'll leave now!" Her voice was filled with reluctance and grievance, but she had to compromise.
Lin Yi looked at Wang Na's receding figure, a teasing smile on her lips: "A lot of girls usually show off to you, right?"
"If I remember correctly, it was you who hinted to your mother yesterday. Don't do this again in the future. Reputation is very important to female comrades!" Pei Jingping looked at Lin Yi's calm look and felt inexplicably unhappy.
In Pei Jingping's opinion, wouldn't most women get jealous and upset when faced with something like this? But Lin Yi was so calm, which made him feel an indescribable complex emotion.
"Women who care about reputation will not have any inappropriate thoughts about married women. Don't tell me Wang Na's thoughts about you. You don't know. Wang Fang always targets me everywhere. Most of the reason is Wang Na!" Lin Yi responded in a humble and arrogant manner, his tone full of disdain for Wang Na.
Lin Yi is very disgusted with Wang Na's double-faced behavior. If Wang Na and Wang Fang dare to disgust her again in the future, Tian Guiying will be a very good gun. It takes another villain to defeat a villain!
