Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 33 An Emergency Appointment



Chapter 33 An Emergency Appointment

Ma Junjie instinctively cried out "Ouch!" and stopped, extremely anxious.

He was in a hurry to eat, go back to his dorm to get his clothes, and also had to meet up with Li Xuemei!

He made no attempt to hide his impatience and asked,

"Assistant Liu, what's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun's eyes widened in disbelief, and he even thought he had misheard!

This is outrageous! There's no law here! This is utterly defying the heavens!

He couldn't control himself and pointed at Ma Junjie, cursing him fiercely.

"Ma Junjie, you're fucking asking for it! How dare you talk to Assistant Liu like that?"

"You...you must have taken the wrong medicine? You..."

Liu Bingbing suddenly reached out to stop Zhang Jun.

"Team Leader Zhang, don't interrupt. I have something to say to Ma Junjie."

Zhang Jun blurted out, "Assistant Liu, he's just a newcomer from the countryside, what can he possibly say?"

Zhang Jun almost revealed his true character, but thankfully he managed to hold back.

Liu Bingbing ignored Zhang Jun and looked at Ma Junjie, saying,

"Ma Junjie, let's go eat!"

"Wh...what?" Zhang Jun stammered in disbelief.

"Assistant Liu, what are you having dinner with him about? I've made an appointment with Director Huang; he'll be over soon. I'll treat you to dinner!"

"I won't go, thank you!" Liu Bingbing refused directly.

Then looking at Ma Junjie,

"Ma Junjie, let's go, I'll take you to another place to eat!"

Ma Junjie thought for a moment, then became extremely anxious.

Finally, thinking of Li Xuemei, I realized that I should be a person of integrity and could not break my promise again.

Liu Bingbing decisively refused.

"Assistant Liu, I'm sorry, I have something to do today and I can't make it. Thank you!"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Liu Bingbing shouted from behind,

"Hey, Ma Junjie..."

Ma Junjie has long since disappeared.

Zhang Jun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Ma Junjie a few times!

At this moment, Huang Feng walked in, smiling broadly at Liu Bingbing, and said from a distance,

"Assistant Liu, you've been working hard. What are you still doing here?"

He then turned his head to look at Zhang Jun and scolded him.

"Team Leader Zhang, your arrangements are inadequate. How could you leave Assistant Liu waiting here?"

"Let's go, lead the way!"

Zhang Jun quickly explained.

"Director Huang, I... this... Assistant Liu..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Liu Bingbing say,

"Sorry, I don't have an appetite, I'm not eating today!"

After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked away!

Huang Feng shouted with wide eyes,

"Assistant Liu, don't go..."

Liu Bingbing showed no sign of stopping and left without hesitation.

Huang Feng sighed heavily upon seeing this, then turned to Zhang Jun and reprimanded him.

"Team Leader Zhang, what are you doing?"

"I promised to take her to dinner, a perfect opportunity to strengthen our relationship, and you ruined it! You, you idiot!"

Zhang Jun's face turned pale, and he quickly explained.

"Director Huang, it wasn't me, it was..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. You've already ruined things, what's the point of explaining now!"

"Forget about being named an outstanding group or outstanding group leader this year!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Zhang Jun gritted his teeth in anger. Seeing several packed toys on the table in front of him, he picked them up and smashed them on the ground in a fit of rage.

"Holy shit!"

"Ma Junjie, you son of a bitch, what kind of bastard are you!"

He couldn't understand how he had managed to stumble over a country bumpkin who was new to the area!

His eyes blazed with fury, and he vowed to take revenge and make Ma Junjie submit to him!

On the other side, Ma Junjie ran quickly.

Man needs food to survive, so he decided to go to the cafeteria for lunch first.

After queuing for a while, I successfully got my food. The food was alright today; I even got to eat fish!

Although they were dried small fish and shrimp, at least we got to see some meat.

Ma Junjie ate heartily, wolfing down his food, and finished all the rice on his plate in just three to five minutes.

After finishing his meal, he put the bowl away and ran back to the dormitory without stopping.

He had to race against time to get back to his dorm to retrieve his tattered clothes, and then wait for Li Xuemei downstairs.

It only took Ma Junjie five minutes to run up and down the stairs, and he stood panting downstairs at the dormitory building.

He was holding a piece of clothing, glancing around from time to time.

He soon discovered that Li Xuemei was not outside.

Li Xuemei didn't come. So where is she now? Is she resting in her dormitory or eating out?

Or perhaps Li Xuemei is angry because he stood her up yesterday, and she deliberately didn't come today?

Ma Junjie was thinking this haphazardly.

I saw many girls going in and out of the girls' dormitory again.

Most of the girls were wearing the same work uniforms, which dazzled Ma Junjie, making it impossible for him to tell them apart.

The midday sun was scorching, but Ma Junjie, still wanting Li Xuemei to see him, stood between the male and female dormitories as they had agreed beforehand.

The blazing sun beat down on him mercilessly.

Before long, Ma Junjie was drenched in sweat and his skin was sunburned.

However, Ma Junjie remained motionless, insisting on standing.

He meant that he was at fault first.

If you broke your promise yesterday, you have to bear the consequences today.

He stood there for about half an hour, and the men and women passing by couldn't help but look at him curiously when they saw his strange behavior.

After half an hour,

The number of people walking around decreased significantly, and after a few more minutes, there was almost no one outside.

Ma Junjie knew that Li Xuemei would definitely go back to her dormitory to rest and wouldn't come out again.

He was somewhat frustrated.

I'm not sad because Li Xuemei didn't come.

Rather, it was because he felt guilty for breaking his promise.

He picked up the tattered clothes in his hand, looked at them, sighed, and muttered to himself.

"Never mind, I'll apologize to her in person next time I see her!"

As he spoke, he looked into the distance, where a faint, pulsating heat wave had risen from the ground.

And the sunlight in the world turned white.

Ma Junjie moved slightly, felt a bit dizzy, and almost collapsed.

This sun is incredibly strong.

Ma Junjie lowered his head, bent over, and rested for a moment.

Looking up again, there was no one moving around outside.

Ma Junjie muttered to himself,

"Never mind, nobody's coming!"

He turned around, ready to go back to his dormitory.

I took a few slow steps.

Suddenly he felt a shadow fall over him.

Ma Junjie was somewhat surprised.

I looked up and saw...

It was an umbrella!

He was a little puzzled and turned his head to see who was holding the umbrella.

Upon looking,

He immediately exclaimed in surprise...
