Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 51 Forgot One Important Thing

He stopped there.

But Lin Qingping loosened her grip, simply because of his words, "I have some things to take care of." In short, she wouldn't hold him back. Since he had things to take care of, then let him go.

"I...I'll take you." She held back the tears welling up in her burning eyes and said softly with her head down.

"No need, you can eat here. We'll leave quickly," he said.

Oh……

Is it because you think she'll cause trouble if she walks too slowly?

Okay then, she won't go.

"Xiaotian's meal." She simply packed Xiaotian's meal and handed it to him.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." After receiving the gift, Xiao Tian strode away with Gu Juncheng.

As Lin Qingping watched Gu Juncheng's retreating figure, tears streamed down her face.

For some reason, when he wasn't around, she acted like a shrew, fearless and daring to confront anyone. But as soon as he appeared, she would become incredibly tender and gentle in his presence.

"Oh dear!" She wiped away her tears and desperately chased after him in the direction he had left.

There's one more thing I forgot!

She hasn't even hugged him yet!

She applied to Commander Yu and received his permission!

How can I not hug you?

How could we forget such an important matter?

However, when she ran outside the cafeteria, he and Xiaotian were no longer there.

They walk...really fast...

Lin Qingping returned to the dining table dejectedly.

Gu Juncheng and Xiao Tian did walk very fast, and they talked as they walked.

"Did you find it?" Gu Juncheng asked.

"I've looked for them, but their factory director is away on a business trip and hasn't come back yet. I heard that your wife is only close to the factory director and doesn't have much contact with the other deputy directors. Also, there's that sales manager. He himself isn't the problem. The root of the problem lies with Gao Dashan and Feng Debao. They're the ones who stirred up the trouble and caused the deputy director's wife to misunderstand. I've already told the deputy director of the garment factory, Mr. Liu, about the situation. He's waiting for you in his office right now."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Xiao Tian then led Gu Juncheng to the deputy factory director's office in the office building.

In the office, a man in his forties stood up after seeing Gu Juncheng, smiled and extended his hand, "Hello, hello, comrade of the People's Liberation Army."

Gu Juncheng shook hands with him. "Hello, I am Lin Qingping's lover."

"I know, I know," said the deputy factory director, surnamed Liu, who politely poured him tea.

Gu Juncheng replied, "No, what I mean is, today, I am merely Lin Qingping's lover. As her husband, knowing what she's going through at the factory, you and I are both men. If you were in her shoes, what would you think?"

"Well..." the deputy factory director immediately said, "There are many things we don't know either..."

"Really? She's been at the factory for so many days, and the workshop workers have been causing trouble for three days straight. If you knew nothing about it, it just means there's a serious problem with your factory's management. What if a safety accident had happened during this time? Wouldn't you leaders be held responsible?"

The deputy factory director didn't say anything, feeling guilty. Actually, he already knew, but since it had nothing to do with him, and the worker was just a temporary worker with a lot of trouble at the factory, he couldn't be bothered to care.

"Comrade Lin Qingping always said with confidence that women can hold up half the sky, but she never thought that if she held up that half of the sky, she would be suppressed by the other half," Gu Juncheng said. "I don't mean anything by it. Many people in the factory bully her because she is a weak woman with no one to rely on. I believe that you, Director Liu, are not that kind of person. If you can lead a factory, you must be able to distinguish right from wrong and be concerned about the needs of the employees. Therefore, I also believe that you can give Comrade Lin Qingping a fair chance and handle this matter fairly. Also, Comrade Lin Qingping is not what the people in the factory say. She has a husband, she is innocent and upright, and she is not alone and without support."

Deputy Factory Director Liu: ??? I didn't even know I was this good...

One slap followed by a sweet treat...

A few minutes later, Deputy Factory Director Liu saw Gu Juncheng out. The two shook hands, and Gu Juncheng quickly walked out of the factory.

The jeep was already waiting there, and the two quickly got in.

As soon as Gu Juncheng got into the car, Commander Yu and Political Commissar Chen inside looked at him and smiled.

Political Commissar Chen jokingly asked him, "Did you hug him?"

After saying that, Political Commissar Chen burst into laughter again. This time, Division Commander Yu couldn't hold back either and laughed out loud.

Gu Juncheng felt his face burning from their laughter, but he still reported seriously, "Reporting to Commander Yu, I just went to see their deputy factory director and hope that the factory will handle this matter fairly."

Commander Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to report these things.

"I really admire this girl." Commander Yu was referring to Lin Qingping. "Now that the country's reform and opening up has begun in full swing, we need more young people like her who are sharp and enterprising. Your wife is no ordinary woman, Xiao Gu. I have high hopes for her!"

Gu Juncheng sighed, "He's really being too unpredictable; I'm sorry you had to see him like this."

Commander Yu laughed again, "Indeed, she's a completely different kind of person from you. Why don't you learn from your wife? Why do you always have such a stern face?"

Gu Juncheng: ...

Division Commander Yu became even more curious, "Regimental Commander Gu, do you also keep such a stern face in front of your wife?"

"Absolutely!" Political Commissar Chen interjected with a laugh, "He even made his wife recite the text from memory tonight!"

Gu Juncheng was exasperated. "How could such a thing happen?"

"Political Commissar, it's recitation, not dictation!" Xiao Tian quickly interjected.

"Yes, yes, it's memorization, I got it wrong. Hahahaha!"

Commander Yu burst into laughter, "Little Gu's wife is quite cultured!"

Gu Juncheng's face turned red. He looked at Xiao Tian sitting next to him, and Xiao Tian lowered his head under the commander's gaze.

Oda: ? ? What did I say wrong?

The day after Gu Juncheng left, Factory Director Hu returned and flew into a rage upon learning what had happened at the factory.

He started by giving the deputy factory directors and section chiefs a thorough dressing-down: "How could you have the nerve? A bunch of grown men bullying a 20-year-old girl? She's younger than some of your daughters! How could you do such a thing? Don't tell me you didn't know, that you were just watching the show! How can you still be sitting in these positions? What are you thinking? Do you think you're so secure? This young girl can sell the stockpiled goods in the warehouse for ten times the price, and we can give the employees more than five times the year-end bonus. Isn't that a good thing? Who among you has that ability? Step forward, and if anyone does, I'll fire Comrade Xiao Lin immediately!"

The person being scolded remained completely silent.

Lin Qingping's unpleasant experiences since joining the factory have finally come to an end here.

Gu Juncheng's arrival made the factory workers realize that "her husband was a soldier, and she really was a military wife." Everyone's natural respect and affection for soldiers naturally led them to believe that she would be no less capable.
