Chapter 24 Are you calling me?
As Ma Junjie entered the factory, he sensed hurried footsteps approaching from behind.
At the same time, someone shouted,
"Ah Jie, Ah Jie!"
Ma Junjie turned his head and saw that it was Wang Hu, smiling, who had caught up with him.
He rushed up, excitedly patted Ma Junjie hard, and laughed.
"Ah Jie, you're awesome, you've been hiding your true strength!"
"What?" Ma Junjie didn't understand.
Wang Hu grinned and laughed.
"Ah Jie, stop playing dumb. I saw everything. I saw you get out of an Audi A6. Who was driving it?"
"Oh, that's what it is!" Ma Junjie replied calmly, suddenly realizing what was going on.
"Wang Hu, you've got it wrong. I just hitched a ride along the way, it's nothing."
"After getting off the bus, we'll never see each other again."
"Really?" Wang Hu was somewhat incredulous and highly skeptical.
At that time, my mentality was exactly like this: I was afraid that my brother would suffer, but I was also afraid that my brother would drive a Land Rover.
He confirmed it repeatedly.
"Dude, you really just hitched a ride?"
Ma Junjie ignored him and turned around.
Believe it or not, it's up to you.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to the cafeteria for lunch!"
Wang Hu took one look and then became skeptical.
He burst out laughing and slapped Ma Junjie hard.
"Hahaha!"
"I knew it! You just came here to work, how could you possibly know such rich people?"
"Haha, what a scare...cough cough..."
Ma Junjie stared at Wang Hu and asked,
"Wang Hu, isn't that incredibly disrespectful of you?"
Wang Hu gave a fake, silly grin.
"Ahem... Brother, don't misunderstand! This is actually my way of showing concern for you."
"You need to understand, people in big cities are incredibly complex. The waters run deep, and most people can't handle it. I'm worried about you; you might easily be deceived!"
"Heh!" Ma Junjie sneered.
As for Wang Hu's mentality, Ma Junjie knew it perfectly well.
This kid is nothing more than someone who can't stand seeing others do well; he's just envious, jealous, and hateful.
Ma Junjie didn't bother arguing with him and went straight to the cafeteria for a meal.
Wang Hu shouted from behind,
"Hey bro, hurry up! If you're late, the cafeteria will be out of food. Run, run!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie immediately started running.
Wang Hu watched from behind, clutching his stomach and laughing uncontrollably.
"Haha, I really thought this kid had transformed himself from a chicken into a phoenix, but it turns out he's still just a country bumpkin, hahaha..."
Ma Junjie ran to the cafeteria; luckily, there was still some food left.
Ma Junjie swiped his card and ordered one.
Stir-fried minced pork with pickled green beans, Chinese cabbage, and a winter melon soup.
Although it can't compare to the outside world
However, Ma Junjie was still quite satisfied with the price of 2.8 yuan.
After finishing his meal and wiping his mouth, Ma Junjie walked out of the cafeteria.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly noticed someone pointing and whispering at me.
She even covered her mouth and made a disgusted expression.
Ma Junjie was a little surprised.
Looking down at himself, he suddenly realized...
His clothes got a big hole while he was fighting the bad guys.
Plus, it got wet in the rain and then dried, and then got wet again from sweating, so now it smells terrible.
Ma Junjie smelled it himself and immediately frowned.
It does have a rather pungent smell!
He walked out of the cafeteria, determined to hurry up and buy a cheap set of clothes on the street outside.
A short while later, he walked out of the factory.
It's peak dinner time now, and the outside is packed with people.
Ma Junjie quickly walked through the food street and then arrived at the general merchandise section, where he finally felt the air was fresher.
There are far fewer people here.
Ma Junjie strolled around leisurely.
His goal was to buy clothes, but these department stores only sold everyday items.
We walked for quite a while, and it was the same every time.
Ma Junjie wasn't sure if he was going in the right direction.
He stood there hesitantly, then looked up into the distance.
There seemed to be many shops lined up in the distance, but I wasn't sure what they sold.
Ma Junjie hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should continue walking forward.
Suddenly, several crisp sounds rang out.
"Hello!"
"Hello!"
Ma Junjie wondered, was this someone calling him?
He turned his head and glanced at it.
He saw a tall girl with long, flowing hair, wearing a white dress, staring at him.
For a moment, Ma Junjie's mind went blank; he looked at the girl with a puzzled expression.
asked,
"Are you... are you calling me?"
"Giggle!" The girl covered her mouth and laughed.
Ma Junjie was even more puzzled, and gave an awkward, wry smile.
At this moment, the girl suddenly spoke.
"Umbrella!"
"The one who gave me the umbrella when it rained at noon!"
"Oh, oh!" Ma Junjie remembered, pointing at the girl.
"Oh, it's you! You've changed your clothes, I didn't recognize you!"
"Giggle, giggle!" the girl laughed again.
Her laughter was innocent and pure, as melodious as a copper bell.
"That's right, it's me! You finally remembered!"
"I'm off work tonight, so I changed into my work clothes..."
Ma Junjie smiled happily.
Thinking to myself,
That's perfect, I can finally get my umbrella back after spending 8 yuan on it.
The girl said again,
"Hey, what's your name? Which department are you from?"
Ma Junjie replied,
"My name is Ma Junjie, and I work in the outer packaging department."
"My name is Li Xuemei, and I work in the quality control department," the girl answered proactively.
"Li Xuemei?" Ma Junjie murmured to himself, replying...
"Your name... is really beautiful."
"By the way, Li Xuemei, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Xiao Yanzi from 'My Fair Princess'?"
Li Xuemei loves to laugh.
He started laughing again, giggling.
"You mean to say I have big eyes, right?"
"Little Swallow is a star, I can't compare to her!"
Ma Junjie instinctively wanted to say, "You're much prettier than her..."
After thinking about it, I realized it was the first time I'd met this person, and I felt that what I said was a bit too frivolous, so I swallowed it.
In a moment of madness, I blurted out,
Where is my umbrella?
"Huh?" Li Xuemei exclaimed in surprise, glancing at Ma Junjie.
"No... I'm sorry, I didn't know I would run into you. I left my umbrella in my dorm room."
"Okay, we've agreed that I'll wait for you outside the dormitory building tomorrow at noon to return the umbrella."
Ma Junjie nodded, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Why keep talking about the umbrella if there's nothing wrong with it?
So they had to change the subject and ask...
"Li Xuemei, where are you going?"
Li Xuemei replied,
"I just ate and I'd like to buy some fruit."
He then asked in return,
"Brother Jie, where are you going?"
Ma Junjie answered truthfully.
"Li Xuemei, I'm going to buy clothes. Look at my clothes, they're brand new, and look at them!"
Li Xuemei looked at Ma Junjie and, sure enough, saw a large hole in his clothes.
So, with a hint of regret, he said...
"Brother Jie, it's a real shame that your new clothes are like this."
He joked again,
"Heh, the way you're acting, it's like you're going to get into a fight!"
Ma Junjie answered in a serious tone.
"You're right, I got this from a fight."
"Huh?" Li Xuemei was taken aback, and her face immediately fell.
She stopped smiling, glanced at Ma Junjie a few times, then swallowed hard and said,
"Brother Jie, I'm free anyway, let's go, I'll take you to buy clothes up ahead."
Ma Junjie's eyes lit up, and he burst into laughter.
"Great, thank you so much! I was just wondering where to buy clothes."
Li Xuemei smiled slightly.
"I know this place well, let's go!"
After saying that, he started walking forward...
Looking at Li Xuemei's back, Ma Junjie felt that she was like a fairy descending to earth.
