Chapter 29 I never thought of it
"No?"
Lu Congyue's voice, like his personality, was full of pressure: "Then why are you walking around the factory area?"
"I..." Zhuang Qingxiang's lips trembled slightly.
Meeting Lu Congyue's cold and stern gaze, Zhuang Qingxiang felt her shoulders slump repeatedly, the pressure almost breaking her.
Lu Congyue could see her breakdown, but he still continued to ask, "If you didn't mean it that way, why did Teacher Sun come to act as matchmaker?"
Zhuang Qingxiang's taut nerves snapped instantly.
She had no idea what had happened.
Her husband had just died. He had treated her very well, and she had never thought about remarrying!
If someone comes to her with this kind of thing, is the responsibility solely on her?
Zhuang Qingxiang's voice trembled, and two defiant flames ignited in her previously devastated eyes.
"Director Lu, I don't know much about what you're saying. If you want to know the reason, you should ask Teacher Sun! I was just walking around the factory area looking for a place to live! A house, a warehouse, or even a shack will do. I want to move out with my child, but I don't want to be too far from Donghua. This is the only solution I can think of."
After Zhuang Qingxiang finished speaking, she gasped for breath, her chest heaving with suppressed anger.
Lu Congyue glanced at him and then looked away, his brow furrowed: "Move out?"
"Yes! I... am a widow, and I'm afraid that living in your house will bring you bad influence." Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip.
Lu Congyue never thought it would have any negative impact; he was upright and had nothing to fear.
only……
"Then you should go and take a walk around the dormitory area and the family area," he said coldly, exposing her lie.
"I went! There's no empty space there; you, as the factory manager, should know that better than I do. I swear to God, I have no improper thoughts about you, not just you, but about anyone! I have no intention of remarrying. Have I made myself clear enough?"
After Zhuang Qingxiang finished speaking, she became a little scared and quickly added, "I really enjoy taking care of children and want to help you take care of Donghua, so I'm looking for a place to stay."
She absolutely cannot lose this job that includes room and board, clothing, and a five-yuan salary!
Thinking about this made her seem even more sincere.
She earnestly made Lu Congyue doubt that what she said might be true.
"You don't want to remarry, you don't have a job, how are you going to support two children?"
Zhuang Qingxiang's mouth opened slightly, a moment of confusion in her eyes: What were they talking about again? Was it this?
But she quickly realized what was going on and immediately said, "There's always a way. You see, having the opportunity to work at your house is a way out, isn't it? I'll definitely find other solutions when the baby is weaned. Director Lu, I promise you, I will take good care of Donghua. Even if I lack food for my son, I won't neglect Donghua."
Lu Congyue remained silent.
"Director Lu, I know my mother-in-law caused you a lot of trouble last time she came. I don't want to bother you. If there's a place for her to stay at the factory, I'll bring the children there so it won't bother you."
"I understand what you mean. I will consider this matter," Lu Congyue said in a deep voice.
"Then, then I'll thank Director Lu first." Zhuang Qingxiang felt relieved and quickly thanked him.
Lu Congyue nodded slightly and walked out.
Just then, little Qian Yue ran out of the house with her short legs and chased after Lu Congyue.
"Yueyue," Zhuang Qingxiang called out anxiously.
Lu Congyue looked at the child clinging to his leg and said to Zhuang Qingxiang, "It's alright, I'll take her out for a walk."
"How can that be? Yueyue, stop bothering Director Lu, come here to your mother quickly," Zhuang Qingxiang said hurriedly.
Xiao Qianyue hugged Lu Congyue's leg and shook her head.
Lu Congyue simply picked up the little girl and said, "It's alright."
After saying that, he picked up the little girl and went out.
Zhuang Qingxiang stomped her foot in anger, afraid that her daughter would upset Lu Congyue, which would make her life even more difficult.
But she couldn't chase after him and force him to come back.
With a sigh, Zhuang Qingxiang went inside to continue making clothes. As long as she had something to do, her emotions would calm down.
Lu Congyue carried Xiao Qianyue towards the security office. Xiao Qianyue hugged Lu Congyue's neck and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, can you please not send us away?"
"I didn't rush," Lu Congyue replied in a deep voice.
"I don't want to go back." Little Qian Yue pouted, feeling wronged. "Grandpa and Grandma don't want me and Mom. We have nowhere to stay if we go back. Grandpa the village chief said we can only stay in the cowshed, but that's not a good place. Mom doesn't want to go, and Yueyue doesn't want to go either."
Lu Congyue frowned slightly.
How can anyone live in a cowshed?
Oh, no, that's not right either. Some of the cowsheds in the brigades were inhabited by people who needed education and reform.
It's clearly inappropriate for a woman like Zhuang Qingxiang to move in with two children.
"Director Lu."
As they were talking, they arrived near the security section. Niu Jianzhong saw him and immediately came over to greet him.
She looked at the little girl in his arms with surprise, then laughed: "Director Lu, it's rare to see you holding a child. She seems to have a bit of a human touch now."
Lu Congyue gave him a warning look.
Niu Jianzhong chuckled twice. He recognized the child; she was Zhuang Qingxiang's daughter. It wasn't appropriate to discuss things in front of the child.
"Yueyue, go dig for bugs over there." Lu Congyue put Xiaoqian Yue down. "Didn't you say you were going to dig for bugs to feed the chickens?"
After Xiao Qianyue left, Niu Jianzhong asked, "Director Lu, did you come to see me for some business?"
"No." Lu Congyue frowned. "I just probed her, and she said she was wandering around looking for a place to stay."
Niu Jianzhong exclaimed in surprise, "Director Lu, you don't believe that, do you? If she were looking for a place to stay, she wouldn't be wandering around the factory area."
"That's what I thought too. But she said there are empty rooms in the family dormitory area." Lu Congyue rubbed his forehead. "Go ask someone in the logistics department if that's true, and... look for a suitable place for her to stay."
Niu Jianzhong's eyes widened: "Director Lu, I think it's best for her to stay with you for now, at least you can keep an eye on her after get off work. If we let her move out, what if..."
"I didn't say I'd let her move now, let's find someone first," Lu Congyue said, frowning.
Niu Jianzhong still looked disapproving: "Director Lu, I heard some news. Your nanny is looking for a boyfriend at the factory, and someone is actually interested. What if she moves out and it actually works out, and that person can't resist the sweet talk? What if her information gets leaked?"
Niu Jianzhong suggested with a serious expression, "Director Lu, I still maintain my previous opinion: it's best to continue letting her stay at your house!"
Lu Congyue knew Niu Jianzhong was a stubborn person and didn't want to argue with him endlessly about this, so he asked directly, "Who has taken a liking to her?"
"I'm not sure about that right now, I'll continue my investigation!" Niu Jianzhong replied.
Lu Congyue nodded slightly: "Okay! But you also need to investigate and do what I asked you to do."
Niu Jianzhong agreed readily.
But he still held the same idea: the matter had to be done, but Zhuang Qingxiang had to stay at the factory director's house! Only the factory director could resist the temptations of sweet words and seductive charms!
