When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332: Chapter 125: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (12)

The brick factory was a treacherous place, but the base had no shortage of bachelor educated youths. They were like a pack of hungry wolves, each one desperate to "marry up" and escape their current poverty and hardship.

Even if they couldn’t take advantage of the woman’s family when it was time to return to the city, they were still the primary beneficiaries of such a marriage.

Jiang Zishi was a prime example. With a precedent like him, wouldn’t Chi Yun’er become a hot commodity the moment she arrived? Wouldn’t everyone be eager to curry her favor?

He didn’t want Chi Yun’er to escape the frying pan only to land in the fire.

Moreover, whenever he imagined other male educated youths fawning over Chi Yun’er, he felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

So, recalling Fourth Granny Bian’s words, he gave a somewhat vague and simple explanation of the situation. "Director Qi, it’s like this. A neighbor of our family has a younger sister, Comrade Chi Yun’er, who is serving as an educated youth in Bian Family Village alongside my younger brother."

"Zishi was originally able to look out for her, but now he’s getting married, so it’s no longer appropriate for him to keep taking care of Comrade Chi. That’s why I was wondering if our base has any work suitable for a woman?"

"If we brought her over, I... I could look after her more easily since she’d be close by."

"She’s not in the best of health and can’t do heavy labor. She just managed to pull some strings to get a temporary position in the brick factory’s finance office. Could you please see if we could perhaps trade that temporary job for a different position here?"

"Comrade Chi’s family is quite well-off, so she’s not looking to earn a lot of work points. She just wants to contribute to the organization in whatever small way she can..."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Yihua lowered his head slightly, letting Director Qi’s imagination run wild about his relationship with Chi Yun’er.

Director Qi’s eyes narrowed as he looked Jiang Yihua up and down. Seeing the awkward expression on the face of this key subordinate of his, he couldn’t help but smile and ask:

"I heard out in the fields that the young educated youth, Chi, came to visit you while you were working?"

"Does this mean good news is on the horizon for you two? You rascal. You’re usually so quiet, always focused on getting things done, and you never say a word about your personal life."

"If the young lady hadn’t come looking for you, I bet you would’ve waited until you needed me to stamp your approval papers before you revealed anything, wouldn’t you?"

Jiang Yihua gave a helpless smile. "Director, I... I do have some feelings for her, but she might be returning to the city soon. Until I have the ability to offer her a future, all I can do is look after her. For everything else, we’ll just have to let fate decide."

"Director, I’m really counting on you for this. She’s supposed to start the job in the next day or two. You know the environment at the brick factory isn’t great, and for a pretty young woman like her..."

The smile vanished from Director Qi’s face, and he nodded.
