My Dongguan Love Story

When Lin Huimin greeted Li Qing earlier, she noticed Da Zhuang next to her. Although she was puzzled, she didn't think much of it.

Seeing Dazhuang sitting next to Wu Jiandong, Wu Jiandong's face gradually darkened.

She quickly diffused the awkwardness and said to Li Qing:

"Is this young man your brother? He's quite tall and handsome, and looks just like you."

Upon hearing Lin Huimin's words, Wu Jiandong's expression immediately softened, which had been gloomy.

He was about to give Dazhuang a piece of his mind, but upon hearing that Dazhuang was Li Qing's younger brother, his previously gloomy face immediately relaxed, replaced by a fawning smile as he gently patted Dazhuang's shoulder.

"You two do look quite alike."

I secretly rejoiced that I had managed to keep my composure, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing.

How can you pursue someone else after you've already ruined their relationship?

He patted me on the shoulder and then stretched out his hand to me with a grin:

"Hello young man, my name is Wu Jiandong. You are Qing'er's younger brother, so you'll be my younger brother from now on. If you encounter any problems in Dongguan that you can't resolve, just come to me. In Dongguan, my words still carry weight."

He heard Lin Huimin's words and assumed that I was his cousin's brother, so he was trying to be nice to me.

I looked at him with a mischievous grin and shook his hand: "Hello, my name is Chen Dazhuang."

"A good name." Wu Jiandong smiled brightly as he held my hand, then suddenly seemed to realize something and looked at me with a puzzled expression: "Wait, why is your surname Chen? Aren't you Li Qing's younger brother? Shouldn't your surname be Li?"

"Oh? I'm not Li Qing's brother, I'm her boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

"Yeah, we look like a married couple, don't we?" I said with a mischievous grin.

Wu Jiandong was taken aback, then his face darkened, and he angrily shook off my hand.

Lin Huimin was stunned. When she saw me earlier, she thought I was Li Qing's younger brother because we looked alike. She never imagined that I was Li Qing's boyfriend.

Because Li Qing had never gotten close to any men during her years at the company, everyone assumed she hadn't moved on from her previous marriage. It turns out she had quietly started dating someone.

Seeing Wu Jiandong's face gradually darken, she smiled awkwardly and invited Li Qing to sit down.

"Li Qing, what are you standing for? Sit down. When did you get a boyfriend? How come I didn't know?"

Hearing her words, Wu Jiandong, who was standing to the side, also turned to look at Li Qing with a puzzled expression.

Li Qing, stared at by Lin Huimin and Wu Jiandong, blushed with the embarrassment of being questioned for lying. She forced herself to speak, her voice barely audible: "Just, just handed it over."

Hearing this, Lin Huimin thought Li Qing was just shy.

Now I can't help but believe that Li Qing really has a boyfriend.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that Wu Jiandong's path was probably doomed.

Guangyuan Building Materials is currently facing a crisis and hoped to weather it by borrowing money from Wu Jiandong. However, it turned out to be another empty promise.

She knew, of course, that Wu Jiandong was only willing to help her company through its difficulties because of Li Qing, and she never intended to sell Li Qing for money.

It's just giving the two of them a chance to spend time together; how things turn out is up to Li Qing.

Moreover, the company paid interest on the money it borrowed from Wu Jiandong. Therefore, they didn't owe Wu Jiandong anything.

Given the current situation, it seems there's no hope.

Lin Huimin sighed, leaned back in her chair, and her eyes lost their light.

When Wu Jiandong heard that Li Qing's boyfriend was someone she had just started dating, his originally gloomy expression softened slightly.

He figured that Li Qing and he had only recently started dating and didn't have much of a relationship yet, nor did they know each other very well. If she were to clearly understand the gap between Da Zhuang and him, Li Qing would definitely leave him for him.

Wu Jiandong glanced at Da Zhuang.

Although Dazhuang is burly, tall, and handsome.

But can being good-looking put food on the table?

Looking at Dazhuang's clothes, you can tell they're cheap, low-quality items. His shirt is made of synthetic fabric, and the workmanship looks rough and not breathable.

The pants were made of the most ordinary, cheap polyester fabric, with loose, baggy legs and no discernible shape. The shirt and pants together probably cost less than thirty yuan.

He exuded a strong rural vibe, clearly someone who came from a remote mountain village. With his robust build and dark skin, he must have come to Dongguan to do manual labor.

And what about him?

He owns a construction company with an annual profit of over 500,000.

In Dongguan, not only do people own high-end residential houses, but they also own Mercedes-Benz C230s worth 600,000 to 700,000 yuan and have a net worth of tens of millions of yuan. How can someone like this country bumpkin from the mountains compare?

It seems that Li Qing has never experienced the hardships of society and doesn't know her own worth, which is why she took a fancy to this country bumpkin.

Thinking of this, Wu Jiandong looked at Dazhuang with a mocking expression:

"Dazhuang, where do you work now?"

He planned to first find out about his rival, then compare himself to her, so that Li Qing would know that she had chosen the wrong person.

"At its peak."

I picked up my newly bought phone and started fiddling with it, saying nonchalantly.

"Dingsheng?" Wu Jiandong recalled for a moment, "Was it a toy factory?"

I looked at Wu Jiandong with a puzzled expression, not expecting that he knew Dingsheng.

I casually asked, "Yeah, how did you know?"

"Haha." Wu Jiandong laughed and leaned back in his chair when he heard my words. "I have a very close relationship with your boss, General Manager Zhao. The factory buildings you're currently constructing were all built by our construction team!"

Sister Zhao? I wasn't surprised to hear that he knew Sister Zhao.

In Dongguan, there are bound to be some degree of business dealings between companies, and it's normal for the boss's friends not to be friends with the company.

It's just unclear how deep Wu Jiandong's so-called "deep friendship" really is.

Seeing my stunned expression, Wu Jiandong assumed I was intimidated by his strength. He continued:

"Dingsheng plans to build five more large factory buildings, also on our construction team's behalf!"

Before I could react...

Lin Huimin knew that Wu Jiandong was bragging about himself, so she tactfully played the straight man:

"Mr. Wu is very knowledgeable and capable; he's a big shot in Dongguan. That's why we always ask him for help!"

Hearing the implication in her words that she wanted to help her company, Wu Jiandong deliberately ignored it and pretended to say to me:

"I know all the capable company bosses in Dongguan. Dazhuang, why don't you come to my construction team? You're just doing manual labor like moving goods at Dingsheng, earning only hard-earned money. If you come to my construction team and know how to operate a jackhammer, you can earn at least one or two thousand a month."

"Moreover, I have more than a dozen factories that need to build facilities. If you come here now, you'll have endless work to do, and the monthly income will be very considerable."

He wouldn't be so kind as to introduce me to a job. He guessed that I had just come from the countryside and didn't even have a driver's license, let alone know how to drive a funeral car. He wanted to embarrass me and make me admit my incompetence, thereby showing off his own abilities.

I couldn't be bothered to talk to him, so I pretended not to hear him and kept my head down fiddling with my new phone.

When Wu Jiandong saw me, he ignored me, which felt like punching cotton; he was both arrogant and annoyed.

They want to continue to embarrass me:

"Are you embarrassed to admit you don't have a driver's license? Sigh, no education, no skills, so you can only rely on connections to find some easy work. Or should I call your manager, Ms. Zhao, and ask her to arrange a more relaxed position for you?"
