80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

"You should treat us to dinner, tonight's dinner." Wang Yiming was eager to create an opportunity for Huo Qingyan, and he wasn't afraid of scaring Lin Yue, so he spoke up directly.

Lin Yue originally wanted to thank them for their help, and he had also brought a lot of things when he visited her in the hospital last time. She didn't think it was the factory's doing.

The factory manager didn't seem to be a very righteous person, nor did he seem to care about the factory's employees. Lin Yue couldn't understand why Wang Yiming had come to see her, so she decided to take this opportunity to ask him properly.

"Okay, I'm not familiar with this place, you guys choose the location, I'll just go there." Lin Yue thought she should go home and tell him, otherwise Chang Jingxiang would be very anxious.

Wang Yiming didn't expect Lin Yue to agree so readily, and he was momentarily speechless. "You really want to treat me? I was just joking."

"Of course it's true. I've always wanted to thank you. You came to visit me when I was in the hospital and brought so many things. I've always felt really bad about it."

"That wasn't my intention, and I didn't buy the things, it was..." Wang Yiming almost let it slip, but remembering Huo Qingyan's words, he quickly covered his mouth.

"Who is it?" Lin Yue was puzzled by his behavior and asked him in confusion.

"I mean, the items weren't bought by me personally, but by the factory. I went on behalf of the factory, so you don't need to thank me." Wang Yiming was glad he reacted quickly.

Don't let Huo Qingyan's usual carefree attitude fool you; when he speaks seriously, he is extremely so. If you really piss him off, the consequences can be severe.

Since Wang Yiming had already said so, Lin Yue didn't press him any further. If he didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask; she didn't want to make Wang Yiming feel awkward.

"Wang Yiming, what are you doing standing here? Where is Huo Qingyan?" A girl in work clothes walked up to them and asked.

“Wang Xuemei, it’s none of your business where Brother Yan is. You’re not his boss.”

“We are coworkers, so it’s only right that we care about each other. I’m just responding to the factory’s call. You may not know this yet since you’re new here, but it’s a fine tradition of our factory.”

Wang Yiming curled his lip, "If you're going to pursue someone, then go ahead and pursue them. But you keep bringing up the rules and regulations. There are so many people in the factory, why don't you ever care about anyone else?"

Wang Xuemei certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Back then, Huo Qingyan returned from military service and joined the First Garment Factory as a mechanic in the machine repair department. At that time, Wang Xuemei was captivated by his masculine physique.

At first, she didn't dare to take any action, but just watched silently every day.

Later, seeing other girls chasing after him, Wang Xuemei became anxious. She finally mustered up the courage to write a love letter, but before she could send it, Huo Qingyan was transferred to the countryside.

She was gone for a year. During this time, many people tried to arrange marriages for Wang Xuemei, but she refused them all and waited patiently for Huo Qingyan.

She thought that since it was a temporary assignment, she would eventually come back. Sure enough, as soon as Huo Qingyan returned, she was like a different person. She changed her shyness and took the initiative.

She confessed her feelings, brought him meals, and even had clothes made for him. Everyone in the factory knew she liked Huo Qingyan. Some people said she was shameless, but she didn't care. Happiness is something you have to actively pursue.

To her surprise, Huo Qingyan rejected her outright. She was initially quite discouraged, but the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

Even a tough guy can be swayed by a persistent woman. She refused to believe she couldn't win Huo Qingyan over, so she became even more attentive than before, following him wherever he went.

No matter how much Wang Yiming complained, she didn't get angry. She smiled and said, "I care about you all too. You've all been working hard lately testing the new machines. I'll treat you to dinner tonight at Haoyunlai."

Wang Xuemei is right. They've been working overtime every day to debug the new machine, and they're exhausted. Huo Qingyan and the others are still working in the workshop.

I heard that the recruitment results were released today, so Huo Qingyan asked him to come and take a look, because he would have to go back to work later.

Although Wang Xuemei always clung to Huo Qingyan, it was only because she liked him so much and she had no ill intentions, so Wang Yiming wouldn't be too harsh on her.

He said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, but we have things to do tonight."

Wang Xuemei then asked, "Then tell me where Huo Qingyan is?"

Wang Yiming sighed helplessly, "Hehehe, you're quite persistent. Brother Yan is adjusting the machines in the workshop, he's not coming out today, so don't bother waiting."

Wang Xuemei raised her head and laughed, "Okay, I'm off work today, he won't have time for me, so I'll go shopping with my friends."

After saying that, she left. Wang Yiming shook his head as he watched her go. "That woman is like a leech, impossible to shake off. Brother Yan doesn't even like her, so why does she bother?"

Lin Yue was unaware of the situation, so she naturally didn't say anything; she just smiled and remained silent.

Seeing that she had no expression, Wang Yiming didn't say anything more. "I'm going back to the workshop to work. I'll go to Haoyunlai, which she just mentioned, tonight. See you then."

After saying that, he ran into the garment factory. Lin Yue saw that the crowd had dispersed, so she went up the mountain to the notice board and found her own name after searching for a while.

Lin Yue was secretly delighted. In any case, she now had a job, and if she studied hard, she would eventually be able to master a skill.

She was about to go home to tell Chang's mother the good news when she ran into Zhou Zhijie, who was pushing a bicycle, and Su Qingya, who was walking side by side with her.

Lin Yue didn't want to cause trouble and wasn't going to pay them any attention. She walked straight ahead without looking to the side, but Su Qingya stopped and blocked her way.

Lin Yue dodged to the left, but Su Qingya blocked her way to the left. Lin Yue then dodged to the right, but Su Qingya blocked her way to the right again. Lin Yue simply stood still.

She raised her eyebrows to look at Su Qingya, wondering what she was up to now. Su Qingya looked at Lin Yue with disdain: "Why are you hiding? Did you do something to offend me again, so you're afraid to face me?"

Lin Yue was so angry she laughed. "Do you think we're in a relationship where we need to greet each other when we meet?"

Su Qingya pouted, "Don't think I don't know. You're trying to climb up to the Huo family again, that's why you're following Huo Qingxia around. You're jealous that I'm going to marry Zhou Zhijie, so you went to Huo Qingxia to badmouth me and try to ruin our wedding."

Lin Yue didn't want to pay attention to her, so she turned to the side and started to walk away, but Su Qingya grabbed her. Lin Yue's gaze turned cold. "Who you marry has nothing to do with me. Don't you feel ashamed of what you did? I'm a shy person, so I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud."

So don't worry, we're not interested in your affairs. If we run into each other again, just pretend you don't know us, and definitely don't come up to talk to me. We don't know each other."

After saying that, Lin Yue tried to leave, but Su Qingya refused to let go. Lin Yue shook her hand hard, and Su Qingya saw Zhou Zhijie watching them, so she deliberately tripped and fell to the ground.
