Chapter 290 Insatiable Greed
Zhuang Qingxiang did not immediately agree, so Lu Congyue directly changed the subject.
"Director Dai, don't talk about work during meals, it'll affect your digestion," he said casually.
Factory Director Dai, still unwilling to give up, wanted to say something more, but was kicked by his own daughter.
"Dad, eat your food properly. There are so many delicious dishes, yet you still can't shut up."
Factory Director Dai: "..."
I shouldn't have brought my daughter today!
She thought that since she was so close to Zhuang Qingxiang, she could put in a good word for her, but in the end, every word she said was not only unpleasant to hear but also caused trouble.
Seeing Lu Congyue's expression, Director Dai stopped talking.
Zhuang Qingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't make a decision about this right away; she still had to wait for Lu Congyue to help her find a solution.
While Zhuang Qingxiang was having lunch, Jin Guilan had also prepared lunch.
As soon as Li Weixing entered the house, he saw Jin Lili in his home and frowned slightly.
"Uncle, you're back. Come and wash your hands and have dinner." Jin Lili greeted him naturally and warmly.
Jin Guilan came out of the inner room with her grandson: "You're back. Perfect timing. Lili came over to play today and helped make lunch. Come and eat."
Li Weixing nodded without saying anything.
During the meal, Jin Lili said, "Auntie, Sister Zhuang has three children, right? I think she can't handle taking care of three children by herself. Why don't you talk to her and ask me to work as her nanny?"
Li Weixing, who was eating, raised his eyelids and looked at her.
Jin Lili continued, "Auntie, you see, I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway. Go work as a nanny at her house; at least I can earn some money, right?"
Jin Guilan glared at her: "You went to her house to be a nanny? I told you to stay at my house and take care of the children, why did you run away?"
"Auntie, isn't it because we have you at home? My older brothers wouldn't want to support another idle person like me. I was just afraid of putting you in a difficult position..." Jin Lili said with a wronged expression.
"Then you should go home and get married. You're already a 20-year-old young woman. If you don't find someone soon, you'll be an old maid," Jin Guilan said impatiently.
"Auntie, I'll work as a nanny at Sister Zhuang's house for a year. I can earn some money and then get married later," Jin Lili patiently advised. "I'm only doing this because you get along well with her. If I work as a nanny for her, she'll be grateful, won't she?"
Jin Guilan was about to say that she had never heard of anyone hiring a nanny, but before she could say it, Li Weixing suddenly said, "I think it's a good idea. It's a good opportunity to get closer to Director Lu."
Jin Guilan looked at him in surprise: "What? You think it'll work?"
They've been married for so long, don't think she doesn't know he has a problem with Director Lu.
"What's wrong with that?" Li Weixing said with a straight face. "You're just not as quick-witted as Lili. Since Director Lu's family is having difficulties, what's wrong with us lending a hand? Besides, we work together as a team, so it's always better to have a good relationship than a bad one."
Jin Guilan frowned deeply: "Will this work?"
"Go ask them if it's possible," Li Weixing said. "Even if it's just for my sake, they can't just refuse outright."
Jin Guilan always felt that this was not a good thing, because Li Weixing had been trying to find out about the relationship between Director Lu and Zhuang Qingxiang. If Jin Lili had said something wrong in the past and someone found out, the two families would never be able to meet again.
"Alright, just go ask, don't make a fuss." Li Weixing became impatient. "You're just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, running around won't tire you out. Go ask after you finish eating."
Jin Guilan had no choice but to agree.
After lunch, urged by Li Weixing and Jin Lili, Jin Guilan sighed and took her grandson out, thinking that with a child around, it would be easier to talk about finding a nanny.
As soon as she left, Jin Lili snuggled up to Li Weixing and asked, "Uncle, what did I think of my plan?"
"That's a good idea." Li Weixing nodded slightly, and his hand naturally wrapped around Jin Lili's waist. "But what about your job? I just arranged it for you, and you've only been working for a few days."
Jin Lili's eyes darted around, then she snuggled into Li Weixing's arms, saying sweetly, "What else can we do? Let my sister-in-law handle it for now. Your affairs are more important. If my aunt can't do it, I'll definitely do it for you."
Li Weixing frowned upon hearing this: "You gave the job to your sister-in-law?"
"Oh, it's all for you!" Jin Lili quickly hugged him and acted coquettishly, even rubbing against his crotch. "Weixing, I really want to help you. Besides... I don't want to be so far away from you. You haven't come to see me since I started working... If we stay in the compound, we can still run into each other often, don't you think?"
Normally, when she acts this coquettishly, Li Weixing would soften his heart long ago.
But today he was a little irritable.
"Jin Lili, didn't I tell you that this job was hard-won and that you should cherish it? I also told you I wouldn't arrange any other jobs for you in the future. And yet you gave it to your sister-in-law after only a few days? Did you just ignore what I said?"
Ever since she slept with Jin Lili, her family has been making one demand after another. They've already arranged jobs for her father and brother, and now she's even given her job to her sister-in-law. Is she sure he'll arrange another job for her?!
At Li Weixing's age, what is there that he can't see through?
He slept with her for two years, arranged three jobs for her, and now he's just being greedy!
Li Weixing had actually had enough of sleeping with Jin Lili. Although Jin Lili was young, after two years of sleeping with her, there was nothing left for her to do, not to mention that she wasn't particularly pretty.
Li Weixing couldn't help but think of Lu Congyue's woman, Zhuang Qingxiang. She was also from the countryside, but she looked even younger and prettier than city girls.
If Jin Lili were as beautiful as Zhuang Qingxiang, she could easily have ten or even more jobs, let alone three.
"Don't let your sister-in-law come. I'll ask for leave for you tomorrow. You'll work as their nanny for a month," Li Weixing said with a dark face.
Jin Lili's eye twitched.
She has already completed the formalities with her sister-in-law, and the job now belongs to her sister-in-law.
As long as she clings to Li Weixing, she will get another job.
Of course, if one could hook up with Director Lu...
Jin Lili's eyes lit up, hoping that Jin Guilan could persuade Zhuang Qingxiang to accept her.
However, before things are done, we still need to appease Li Weixing.
She didn't agree to Li Weixing's suggestion, but instead tugged at his belt with a grin: "Uncle, hurry up, Auntie will be back soon."
Li Weixing was thinking about Zhuang Qingxiang, and she also got him excited. The two of them took care of things right there in the living room.
However, Li Weixing was old, and it didn't last long.
Jin Lili wanted to go to Zhuang Qingxiang's house even more; Director Lu's physique looked impressive...
When Jin Guilan brought her grandson to Zhuang Qingxiang's house, Director Dai and Dai Hongying had not yet left.
Factory Director Dai was thinking of refining the formula, but neither Lu Congyue nor Zhuang Qingxiang took the bait.
As soon as Jin Guilan arrived, Dai Hongying grabbed Factory Director Dai and left, secretly muttering that he was oblivious to people's dislike for him.
Factory Director Dai was so angry that his blood pressure was about to rise.
Zhuang Qingxiang was somewhat surprised to see Jin Guilan arrive at this time: "Sister Jin, what brings you here at this hour? Is something the matter?"
