Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 173 The Pain of Tearing

Upon hearing Pang Hu's words, Ma Junjie immediately raised his hand.

Upon seeing this, Fat Tiger quickly swallowed the rest of his words and chuckled.

"Brother Jie, I won't say anything more!"

"Brother Jie, let's go, let's get out of here!"

Ma Junjie glared at Pang Hu, then lowered his hand.

Then he walked towards the door.

Stepping outside, Liu Bingbing and Ma Junjie met eyes, then both abruptly looked away, somewhat embarrassed.

Gian came out and greeted everyone warmly.

"Good morning, Assistant Liu!"

Liu Bingbing nodded slightly and replied.

"Good morning!"

Then he looked at Ma Junjie and said...

"Brother Jie, let's go to work!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie still didn't dare to look at Liu Bingbing.

He nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll just quickly wash up and leave!"

Liu Bingbing laughed.

"Okay, I've already washed up. I'll wait for you outside!"

After saying that, Liu Bingbing smiled and walked towards the door.

After taking only two steps, Liu Bingbing's face showed a pained expression.

Their pace gradually slowed down.

Fat Tiger watched from afar and said,

"Brother Jie, please go check on Assistant Liu. She seems... seems unwell?"

Ma Junjie quickly went to take a look.

Sure enough, Liu Bingbing seemed a little unsteady on her feet.

My feet seem to hurt somewhere, and I'm standing here holding onto the door, biting my lip tightly!

Ma Junjie walked over and asked.

"Bingbing, are you...are you alright?"

Liu Bingbing raised her head and glared resentfully at Ma Junjie.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

Ma Junjie's mind went blank for a moment, then he suddenly remembered...

last night,

The two of them seem... a little crazy.

Liu Bingbing said,

This was her first time, so...

Thinking of this, Ma Junjie blushed instantly.

He said softly,

"Bingbing, why don't you rest here? I'll ask for leave for you, and I'll take you home when I get back from get off work at noon."

Liu Bingbing shook her head upon hearing this.

No, don't.

"I'm a little scared to be here all alone."

Well, Ma Junjie was in a dilemma.

Just then, "ring ring," the telephone rang urgently.

Ma Junjie took out his phone and saw that it was Carina Lau.

He quickly picked up his phone, answered the call, and said...

"Good morning, Sister Liu!"

Carina Lau cut to the chase and questioned,

"Ah Jie, I've arrived at the factory. Huang Feng told me that you and Bingbing haven't come to work yet?"

"What's wrong? Are you still drunk from yesterday?"

Ma Junjie was a little embarrassed for a moment, and explained,

"Sister Liu, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."

"We're sober now, we just overslept, and... Bingbing, and my roommate, a few of us, aren't feeling too well, so..."

Upon hearing this, Carina Lau remained silent for a moment.

Finally, he said helplessly.

"You guys, fine, I'll give you half a day off this morning!"

"You must be at work on time this afternoon!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Okay, Sister Liu, thank you..."

Before I could finish speaking, the other end of the phone had already hung up.

Seeing that Ma Junjie had put down his phone, Pang Hu walked over and asked,

"Brother Jie, what's wrong? Did we get caught being late?"

"Brother Jie, who called just now?"

Ma Junjie turned his head to look at Pang Hu and said...

"Fat Tiger, it's Manager Liu calling."

"Huh?" Fat Tiger cried out in fright.

"Ouch, I'm dead! I'm dead!"

"The only time I was late, the manager caught me! Oh my god, this is killing me!"

"Brother Jie, what...what did she say? Could it be...that she's going to fire us?"

Ma Junjie took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Said,

"Fat Tiger, she said... we can go to work this afternoon, but we're getting a half-day off!"

"Wh...what?" Fat Tiger thought he had misheard and couldn't believe it.

Ma Junjie ignored Pang Hu and turned to look at Liu Bingbing, saying...

"Bingbing, your aunt said we'd get half a day off to rest. Are you going back now or not?"

"Go back!" Liu Bingbing blurted out.

Ma Junjie nodded.

"Okay, then I'll take a taxi and send you home."

After speaking, Ma Junjie moved closer to Liu Bingbing and reached out to support her arm.

"Bingbing, can you walk by yourself now?"

Liu Bingbing took two tentative steps.

Every time I move my foot, I feel a tearing pain in a certain place.

Liu Bingbing bit her lip tightly, her face flushed, and shook her head.

"Brother Jie...I...I can't move."

Ma Junjie thought to himself,

Yesterday, I don't know who it was, but they kept demanding things go up and down, left and right.

Now, they probably regret it.

However, seeing Liu Bingbing like this, Ma Junjie still felt very sorry for her.

He bent down and said,

"Bingbing, come on, let me carry you on my back!"

"Get on here, hurry up!"

Liu Bingbing hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed in front of so many people.

Ma Junjie shouted again.

"Hurry, let's hurry!"

Liu Bingbing thought about it and realized that there really wasn't any other way.

She bit her lip, made up her mind, and climbed onto Ma Junjie's back.

Ma Junjie slowly carried Liu Bingbing on his back.

He said to Gian,

"Gian, lock the door for me!"

"Lock the door, let's go out together!"

Fat Tiger answered loudly,

"Okay, Brother Jie, you go ahead, I'll catch up with you right away!"

Ma Junjie didn't say anything, and carried Liu Bingbing outside.

As soon as I stepped outside, I ran into a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was taken aback when she saw Ma Junjie and Liu Bingbing come out of the yard.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with shock.

Ma Junjie found it a bit strange and asked...

"Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Auntie, why do you have that expression?"

The older woman avoided eye contact and shook her head.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Ma Junjie watched the middle-aged woman run faster than a mouse, and he was extremely puzzled.

Because of the older woman's reaction

This suddenly reminded Ma Junjie of Xiao Liu from last night.

Xiao Liu's expression and behavior were no different from this middle-aged woman's.

What exactly is going on here?

Ma Junjie thought to himself, "I must figure this out when I have time later."

He started walking and continued forward.

Before long, he arrived at the "Sichuan Home-Style Cuisine" restaurant from yesterday.

Ma Junjie subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

I found the restaurant door open, and several workers were there preparing vegetables.

The proprietress, Sister Yuan, also sat on a small stool and helped out.

Yuan Jie looked up and saw Ma Junjie.

She put down the groceries she was carrying, came out warmly, and asked,

"Ah Jie, where did you and your girlfriend go so early in the morning?"

"Hehe, you two are so affectionate! Carrying each other on your backs first thing in the morning? Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing's face flushed red all the way to her neck.

Ma Junjie greeted him.

Good morning, Sister Yuan!

"We're not showing off our relationship. Bingbing drank some alcohol yesterday and isn't feeling well, so I'm taking her home to rest."

"Oh?" Sister Yuan said with a half-smile.

"Really? Where does it hurt?"

"Was it last night... hahaha!"

Liu Bingbing felt a bit disgusted by what Sister Yuan was saying, as it seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

He patted Ma Junjie on the shoulder.

"Ah Jie, let's go quickly, I want to go home."

Ma Junjie responded with an "Mmm".

"Okay, Bingbing, we'll head out and get a ride right away."

After saying that, Ma Junjie nodded to Sister Yuan and then walked away.

After walking a few steps, Sister Yuan suddenly caught up with him.

"Ah Jie, don't rush off... it's hard to get a taxi this early in the morning."

"Hey, Ah Jie, how about this? I have a women's motorcycle here. If you want, I can lend it to you!"
