Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

If you need to go to the toilet, the only way is through the door of Li Jianjun's house.

Li Jianjun immediately realized that Qin Jingru was probably going to the toilet, so he waited nearby.

A short while later, Qin Jingru came out of the restroom, and Li Jianjun went to greet her.

Chapter 88 Li Jianjun Makes a Move, Qin Jingru Changes Her Mind

Li Jianjun pretended to pass by the restroom casually and bumped into Qin Jingru as she came out.

Qin Jingru looked up unintentionally and saw a man who was over 1.85 meters tall and exceptionally handsome.

With just one glance, Qin Jingru froze on the spot.

The young man seemed to possess a magical power that drew Qin Jingru's attention.

Li Jianjun wanted to make way for her, so he took a step to the left.

Qin Jingru also wanted to make way for Li Jianjun, so she took a step to the right, and the two bumped into each other again.

This went on for three or four times, and the two of them were truly defeated by their amazing tacit understanding.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm blocking your way to the toilet."

Qin Jingru's face turned red, and Li Jianjun explained with a wry smile.

"Look, I wanted to give way to you, but we keep bumping into each other. It's really fate."

"By the way, you're not from this compound, are you? You look unfamiliar to me."

Li Jianjun asked Qin Jingru seemingly casually, and she started a conversation.

"Um, I'm not from this courtyard. My name is Qin Jingru, and I'm Qin Huairu's cousin."

Li Jianjun then pretended to suddenly realize something.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you look so much like Qin Huairu. You're both so beautiful."

Li Jianjun's words made Qin Jingru's face flush red.

The young girls in the countryside, exposed to the wind and sun all day long, don't have very good skin.

The key point is that even in rural areas, no one praises someone so openly.

The word "beautiful" seemed to have made Qin Jingru lose her way, and she immediately started talking non-stop.

"No way! We country folk have rough skin, unlike you city folk."

Li Jianjun then carefully examined Qin Jingru and said very seriously.

"No, I think you have fair skin and are even prettier than city girls."

Qin Jingru already had a good impression of Li Jianjun, and Li Jianjun's smooth talk immediately won her favor as well.

"Comrade, what's your name? Are you also an employee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill?"

In Qin Jingru's memory, most of the people who lived in this courtyard were employees of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

"Yes, my name is Li Jianjun, and I am the deputy head of the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

This one sentence surprised Qin Jingru.

"You... are the deputy head of the security department at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill?"

Judging from Li Jianjun's age, Qin Jingru estimated he was no more than twenty-one or twenty-two. It was simply unbelievable that someone so young had become a deputy section chief.

In Qin Jingru's view, anyone who had an official title was a very high-ranking official.

This young man is really capable.

"Comrade, you're really amazing."

At their first meeting, Qin Jingru was too shy to talk too much with the other person.

Li Jianjun seized this opportunity and naturally wouldn't let Qin Jingru leave easily.

"Comrade Qin, I remember now, weren't you on a blind date with Xu Damao today?"

"If you ask me, your cousin isn't close to you at all; she's pushing you into a fire pit."

Li Jianjun's words only made Qin Jingru more confused.

"Comrade Li, what do you mean by that? My cousin is like my own sister, and we have a very good relationship."

Li Jianjun also imitated Xu Damao's behavior of badmouthing Sha Zhu behind his back, badmouthing him from behind.

"Never mind, you're cousins ​​after all, so it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to say anything."

But Qin Jingru vaguely felt that Li Jianjun seemed to have something important to say to her.

"Go ahead and speak, Comrade Li. Although this is our first meeting, I feel that you are very approachable and wouldn't lie to me."

Qin Jingru is quite the talker with her little mouth.

Li Jianjun then stopped being polite.

"The reason I said your cousin was bad is that she never puts herself in your shoes."

"The man she introduced you to, Xu Damao, is infertile. Just think about it, you won't have a child in the future. Isn't that tragic?"

This was the second time someone had said that Xu Damao was infertile, and Qin Jingru was indeed hesitant to proceed.

"Ah, so Xu Damao really can't have children."

This one shortcoming forced Qin Jingru to reconsider the outcome of her blind date with Xu Damao.

"So, my cousin really did push me into a fire pit."

"If I had known Xu Damao was this kind of person, I would never have gone on this blind date with him, even if you beat me to death."

"Thank you, Comrade Li, for telling me all this. Otherwise, I would still be blindfolded and jumping in."

"I'll take my leave now, Comrade Li."

Seeing Qin Jingru's ashen face, Li Jianjun guessed what had happened.

Sure enough, a while later, Qin Jingru hurriedly rushed home.

She suddenly stopped in her tracks on the road.

Because there happened to be two people talking about Li Jianjun.

"Look at Li Jianjun, he became a deputy section chief at such a young age, and I heard his salary has increased to sixty yuan now."

“His parents are gone, and he has no siblings. He can’t possibly spend all sixty yuan.”

The two men talked as they looked in the direction Li Jianjun had walked.

Therefore, Qin Jingru was absolutely certain that the two people she was referring to were the young man she had just encountered.

This surprised Qin Jingru greatly; 60 yuan a month was practically a huge sum of money.

That's 720 yuan a year, which is much higher than their income in rural areas.

The key point is that he is only in his early 20s. If he were to become a section chief by the age of 30, wouldn't his salary increase to more than 80 yuan?

The more Qin Jingru thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and she couldn't help but compare Li Jianjun and Xu Damao in her mind.

Li Jianjun is younger than Xu Damao, and about the same age as Qin Jingru.

The key point is that Li Jianjun's salary is twice that of Xu Damao.

This is real, tangible pay; you can see it and touch it.

Compared to those intangible and accidental benefits, this is much more substantial.

Moreover, Li Jianjun has never been married and is much more handsome than Xu Damao.

Taking all these conditions into account, Li Jianjun's situation is overwhelmingly superior.

This is the ideal husband for Qin Jingru!

Around 3 p.m., Xu Damao decided to go to Qin Huairu's house to go shopping with Qin Jingru and buy her a pair of pants and shoes.

That settled things with Qin Jingru. All that was left was to choose an auspicious day for the engagement, and then wait for the wedding to begin, where he could finally embrace his beautiful bride.

Thinking about all this, Xu Damao felt a sense of satisfaction.

He hurried to Qin Huairu's house and saw Qin Jingru about to enter. Xu Damao stopped her.

"Comrade Qin, I'm free this afternoon. How about I take you to get some clothes?"

Xu Damao was very confident that his actions would definitely win Qin Jingru over completely.

But to his surprise, Qin Jingru ruthlessly rejected his request.

"I'm sorry, Xu Damao, I don't want to go out with you right now..."

The sudden turn of events left Xu Damao stunned...

Chapter 89 Buying a Luxury Car

"Jingru, what's going on? Didn't we agree this morning that I'd take you shopping for clothes this afternoon?"

Qin Jingru was too embarrassed to tell her that Qin Huairu had come out from inside.

Qin Huairu was just hoping that Qin Jingru would look down on Xu Damao, and seeing that Qin Jingru couldn't explain, she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Da Mao, well, Jingru said she'll go back and think about it some more, and discuss it with her family."

“You know, marriage is a big deal, and she can’t make the decision alone. She should always discuss it with her family.”

Xu Damao knew something must have gone wrong. If it wasn't someone talking badly about him behind his back, then it was Qin Huairu who was trying her best to stop the marriage.

Xu Damao is an extremely shrewd person; he knows that saying anything now is useless.

So he adopted a roundabout approach, deciding to wait and see who the mastermind was.

"Oh, I see. It's only right to discuss it with my family. I'll wait for news then."

Xu Damao turned and left, but he couldn't suppress his anger.

Although he wasn't particularly fond of Qin Jingru, it was the first time he'd ever seen a country girl so picky.

Xu Damao turned a corner, pretended to enter his own house, and then came out from the side, following behind Qin Jingru.
