Chapter 764: Why Did I Misjudge Him?

~9 min read 1,629 words

"Li Ye wants to kill you? Impossible, he's not that kind of person."

Lu Jingyao's father, Lu Ruichang, was at least a primary school principal and a man of the world; he didn't panic because of Lu Zixue's exaggerated words.

Lu Zixue immediately became anxious: "Dad, don't I know what kind of person Li Ye is? I've been interning at his factory for these few months, and I know too well the things he's done."

"He is arrogant, irritable, and overbearing. He hits this person and scolds that person in the factory, and even the factory manager's secretary was forced to resign by him."

"Dad, do you know? Li Ye was promoted to deputy factory manager in less than a year of working. It's clear he climbed up through crooked paths. He is ruthless and black-hearted. I have no roots or foundation in the capital; I don't know when I'll be harmed by him!"

"Zixue, can you stop being so alarmist? Two months ago you said Li Ye was targeting you, and now you say he wants to harm you..."

Lu Ruichang hesitated and couldn't help but say: "He's a deputy factory manager after one year of work, a great future. Why would he want to harm you? Where are you worth him harming?"

"..."

Lu Zixue paused, and then a strong sense of humiliation rose in his heart.

He felt humiliated.

Just now Li Ye said he was "not worth me setting you up," and now his own father said he was "not worth Li Ye harming." This was simply a double humiliation!

"Dad, you say I'm not worth Li Ye harming me, then tell me, in such a big capital, why was I assigned to the Light Automobile Company, and why was I assigned to work under Li Ye?"

"Isn't all this because of Li Ye's mother-in-law who manages education? Li Ye climbed a high branch and forgot my sister, and that's not all; he wants to torture me to death."

"Clearly I am in a relationship with Xiao Zhiyu, but he deliberately separated us and assigned us to two different factory areas. I clearly studied mechanics, but he made me do statistical work..."

Lu Zixue blurted out Li Ye's "eight major crimes," listening to which Lu Ruichang felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Regardless of whether the other crimes were true or false, at least the claim that Li Ye climbed a high branch and forgot Lu Jingyao was a slander.

Back then, the matter between Lu Jingyao and Li Ye caused a stir in the whole county. Was there anyone who knew the truth better than him, Lu Ruichang?

And he knew his own son; Lu Zixue had clearly gone astray in these few years. His words were three parts true and seven parts false; they couldn't be trusted at all.

But after all, he was his own son, so Lu Ruichang could only comfort him: "You know your sister doesn't agree with you going abroad. Just look at your assignment results first."

"As long as you can be assigned to the capital and get a decent unit, you don't need to go abroad to suffer..."

"Why would I go abroad to suffer?"

Lu Zixue said as if he had been stepped on his tail: "My sister has only been abroad for a few years, and she lives in a villa, drives a car, and even got Gao Xiaoyan to Britain to study at university. If I go out, I won't be worse than her at least."

"But... both of you siblings have gone abroad, what will your mother and I do! Xiao Yan took the child away, clearly not wanting to come back ever again. If you leave too..."

Lu Ruichang's words were filled with desolation; he clearly foresaw that Lu Jingyao and Gao Xiaoyan would not come back.

If this youngest son left too, how much better would their old age be than that of lonely, widowed old people?

"Isn't there still my younger sister? Besides, I will definitely come back..."

Lu Zixue said with great ambition: "I will return like a king. I will stand in front of Li Ye again and let him see who is the final winner."

"..."

Lu Ruichang was completely speechless.

He was at least a person within the system; he knew Li Ye's current height too well.

Being promoted three levels in less than a year of work, this was clearly a key training object who had obtained resources. His son, that piece of material, wanted to compare with Li Ye to see who was the winner...

It would be better to stay overseas and not come back; he would be ruthlessly crushed.

"Hello, hello? Dad, did you hear me?"

"Oh, I'm listening~"

Lu Zixue didn't hear his father's echo for a long time. After saying hello twice, he said decisively: "Dad, just tell my sister that she must solve the two study abroad spots as soon as possible, otherwise I will be a bachelor. If I can't go abroad, Xiao Zhiyu won't be with me."

"If my sister is unwilling, just tell her directly that I have been forced to a dead end by Li Ye, and I am going to hang myself first."

"Beep beep beep~"

"Zixue, don't be impulsive, hello, hello?"

Lu Ruichang shouted at the phone anxiously for a long time, but Lu Zixue on the other end had long hung up.

Lu Ruichang was helpless, so he had to leave the office and push his motorcycle to rush to the county town.

The Liu Qiao Township Post and Telecommunications Bureau's phone didn't have the authority to make overseas calls; he had to go to the County Post Bureau.

It was already afternoon, and fortunately, Lu Ruichang had a motorcycle, otherwise he wouldn't have made it before getting off work.

His 125 motorcycle was bought for him by Lu Jingyao, and it was considered a bragging capital in the township.

But thinking about the rumors in the county, all the people in the Li family had small cars to ride in, and Li Ye and Li Yue, the siblings, each had one.

"Sigh, did I really harm Jingyao? Back then... why did I misjudge him?"

Lu Ruichang rode the motorcycle very fast, but his mind began to wander.

Because Lu Jingyao was already twenty-five and didn't have any intention of getting married. Could it be that she was going to be an old maid for the rest of her life?

"Hey hey hey~ Careful!!!"

Lu Ruichang, who was distracted, suddenly heard someone shouting, and then noticed that because of the grouting, a shallow trench had been dug on the road, a rubber pipe was buried, and two wooden boards were placed on top.

Lu Ruichang's riding skills were average, and he was distracted just now, so how could he have time to operate? He rushed straight up.

A motorcycle, because of the centrifugal force of the wheels, was very stable when running in a straight line.

But it was this "stability" that most easily misled riders, making them think that a motorcycle was a safe means of transportation, and it was very stable at speeds of 80 or 100 kilometers per hour.

But in fact, motorcycles were very fragile when turning at high speeds or going over potholes. Even a small turn or a small ditch could make it fly easily.

Lu Ruichang flew up, and even did two somersaults in the air.

"Clang clang clang~"

"..."

"Quick, save him!"

Just when Lu Ruichang was being rescued, Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang were listening to the narrative of several production cadres from Workshop 8.

"That Lu Zixue is different from other college and technical school students. He doesn't take work seriously. He makes mistakes repeatedly when recording production figures, and he always slips away during work hours. It is said that he goes to Branch Factory 1 to find his girlfriend..."

"It's one thing that he doesn't work seriously himself, but he always spreads some crooked ideas among those interns, saying that our inland is a backward and barbaric place, and abroad is a free and civilized world..."

"The conflict this time actually has a lot to do with Lu Zixue. I feel he is just a guy who fears that the world won't be in chaos..."

Several team leaders and workshop deputy directors gave Lu Zixue a very low evaluation. The degree of unity in this caliber made Li Ye and Lu Zhizhang feel a bit shocked.

How much of a thorn in the side must one be to offend so many grassroots cadres at the same time?

Are you doing this on purpose?

Chen Zihe took out an internship evaluation form: "This is the comment I originally prepared for Lu Zixue, but today I feel I must rewrite one..."

"Let me see."

Li Ye took the internship evaluation form and looked at it, feeling it was an eyesore. Chen Zihe's cultural level wasn't high, and the comments he wrote weren't subtle at all.

"Factory Manager Lu, your writing level is high. You should take the trouble to evaluate this batch of interns! We should try our best to keep the qualified ones, and you can write more subtly about those who don't meet our requirements."

"Okay, leave this work to me!"

Although Li Ye's writing was also good, Lu Zhizhang didn't stand on ceremony and took the work.

He had worked in the factory office for many years and was particularly good at writing comments. Some words were clearly praise, but he could write them in a way that made people feel disgusted at first glance.

Hmm, Lu Zixue, right?

I will definitely write it very subtly, hehe. ===== CHAPTER 765 =====
