Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 970: Chapter 572: Whereabouts (Part 4)

Lin Qing is 23 this year, and coming from a privileged background, she didn’t enjoy studying, so after barely graduating from vocational high school, she has been staying idle at home.

Vice Manager Wang was Lin Qing’s classmate in vocational high school. They’ve been dating since then and have been together for over seven years, planning to get married this year.

When Zhu Jiangyu pushed open the office door, Lin Qing was comfortably reclining on the sofa, admiring her freshly done hand crystal armor. Hearing the door sound, Lin Qing lifted her head, was momentarily stunned, and then stood up with a smile: ”You’re Zhu Jiangyu? My grandfather’s friend from another generation?”

”Yes, Miss Lin, I am Zhu Jiangyu.” Zhu Jiangyu politely gestured to the sofa, ”Please have a seat, Miss Lin. If you have any instructions, feel free to tell me.”

”I don’t dare to have any instructions, just came to see what kind of man my grandfather and second uncle admire. I didn’t expect you’d be quite handsome.” Lin Qing pointed to the spot next to her, ”Come over, sit a bit closer to me.”

Zhu Jiangyu politely refused: ”That would be against propriety.”

”Don’t be so pretentious, I’m telling you, my second uncle owes my dad a favor. No one else can take the backdoor, but my people can. You should understand what I mean by this.” Lin Qing said, moving a bit to the side, again pointing to the spot beside her.

Zhu Jiangyu’s face turned grim: ”Miss Lin, please have some self-respect.”

”Haha...” Lin Qing laughed till she was shaking, ”How am I not self-respecting? Do tell.”

Zhu Jiangyu looked at her expressionlessly: ”Miss Lin, if you came to me because of Manager Wang, then I suggest you directly approach Mr. Lin. As soon as Mr. Lin says the word, I’ll resign immediately.”

”Interesting.” Lin Qing sat up straight, ”Honestly, when I came, I did want to see what kind of divine being you are, that even my grandfather and second uncle would take a liking to you.

Moreover, because of you, my second uncle refused me for the first time, and now I kind of understand, your personality is more likable than Wang Liang’s.

Honestly, even though there were things about Wang Liang that I’m not satisfied with, after all these years together, I never thought of breaking up.

But today, because of you, I suddenly have the impulse to break up with him. Zhu Jiangyu, I’m informing you now, from this moment on, you are mine.”

”Is something wrong with your brain?” Zhu Jiangyu looked at her speechlessly, ”I think I must very seriously tell you, I do not like you, please don’t waste your time on me.”

”It’s okay if you don’t like me, I have time and patience, one day you will like me.” Lin Qing raised her eyebrows smugly, ”Don’t worry, with me around, Wang Liang wouldn’t dare bully you.”

Zhu Jiangyu checked the time, ”Miss Lin, if there’s nothing else, I need to get busy. It’s currently the peak period for guests, I can’t be away for too long.”

Lin Qing waved her hand, ”Go on and get busy, I’ll wait for you after work to go home together.”

”Crazy!” Zhu Jiangyu mumbled softly and walked out, silently thinking to himself, maybe this place isn’t suitable to stay in. If he had known this would be the result, he might as well not have fought for this branch manager position.

This was never something he desired, it’s just that since arriving here, he felt indebted to the Lin Family and wanted to repay the kindness of the friends from the second kitchen, which is why he voluntarily asked for this position.

Half an hour later.

Wang Liang found Zhu Jiangyu with a thunderous face, his fingers trembling as he pointed at him: ”Pretty boy, you’re something, really something, doing such disgraceful things, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”

Zhu Jiangyu glanced at him indifferently and walked towards the back kitchen.

”Coward, only someone guilty would run to a place with fewer people, wouldn’t they? If you have the guts, explain yourself here, tell everyone what shameful thing you did to become the branch manager, Zhu Jiangyu, that’s a cheap thing that only a duck would do, seeing your duck-like appearance, turns out it wasn’t in vain...”

Seeing Zhu Jiangyu staring at him coldly, Wang Liang’s words stuck in his throat, not daring to continue. Zhu Jiangyu was half a head taller than him; if it came to physical confrontation, he was bound to lose.

The reason he kept insulting was precisely because he knew the physical disparity between them, leading to the saying ”a gentleman speaks instead of fights”.

”If you’re a man, do what a man should do.” Zhu Jiangyu let out a cold sneer, ”Don’t think that what matters to you, matters to others!”

Wang Liang retreated a bit: ”If you don’t care, why did you fight for it?”

”Coming to a place like this, dealing with people like you, don’t you think it loses GF’s big face?”

Zhu Jiangyu was stunned, suddenly turning back.

Luo Ye, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, and Zhu Jianglin were standing behind him.

”Luoluo, Xing Nong, Yaoguang... you’re here?”

”Surprised?” Luo Ye looked at him with dissatisfaction, ”Hurry up and pack your things, let’s go back to school.”

Zhu Jianglin chuckled ingratiatingly: ”Brother, Luoluo has already helped with the re-enrollment procedures, don’t blame me for selling you out, I just don’t want you to delay your future.”

Wang Liang pointed at Zhu Jiangyu in surprise: ”He... he’s a student?”

Luo Ye glared at him: ”You, apologize, what kind of nonsense did you just spew? You stand there looking proper, but your words are so disagreeable?”

”Why should I apologize to him?” Wang Liang scrutinized Luo Ye, ”I say, aren’t you his girlfriend or something? Ah...”

Xing Nong nudged Zhu Jiangyu: ”Old Zhu, you’re quite the guy, but you should have punched harder, at least knocked out two teeth.”

”You, why did you hit me?” Wang Liang held his mouth and started making a phone call, ”I’m going to notify the general manager right now, notify the general manager.”

”You don’t need to inform, we’ll take the initiative to apologize.” Luo Ye said as he glanced at Zhu Jiangyu, ”Let’s go, we inquired a bit when we arrived, about this matter, we must give Mr. Lin an explanation.”

Wang Liang’s eyes spun: ”You go, I won’t pursue it.”

Xing Nong looked at him sideways: ”Do you have any authority to pursue? With what you said earlier, you could be sued for slander, understand?”

”Do you think you’re in the United States.” Wang Liang muttered softly.

”Want to try?” Xing Nong smiled mischievously, ”Not regret it?”

”I have other business, I’ll go busy myself first.” Wang Liang hastily rushed towards the front hall.

Luo Ye looked at Zhu Jiangyu: ”Aren’t you going to say goodbye to everyone in the kitchen first?”

”Luoluo...” Zhu Jiangyu hesitated, ”I... I’m temporarily not wanting to go back to school.”

”Then what do you want to do? Stay here as the vice manager...” Luo Ye pointed in the direction Wang Liang went, ”and compete with that kind of person?”
