The next morning, as soon as I arrived at the company, I received a WeChat message from Zhang Yan.
She said to me: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry that you came out to pick me up so late last night."
Looking at her message, I smiled helplessly and replied: "Why did you go to the bar alone and get so drunk?"
"Nothing, thank you anyway."
The more she said this, the stranger I felt, and asked again: "I heard you say Ma Dong bullied you last night, tell me if it's true?"
"Ah! Did I say that?" She seemed surprised.
"I told you, you said she wanted to sleep with you."
Zhang Yan responded with an "embarrassed" expression, and then said: "It's so embarrassing. Why do I have no memory at all? I only remember that you sent me home."
"Tell me, did she bully you?"
"It's not bullying, it's just that our contract is over. I went to him yesterday to talk about the contract extension, and he said those words at the dinner table."
"What words?"
After a while, Zhang Yan replied: "He said that now that their factory has been acquired by your company, they will do big things in the future and will no longer cooperate with small factories like mine. But he also said that we have cooperated for so long,
If I can sleep with him for a while, he will renew my contract and take me to make a fortune together."
"He really said that?"
"Well, Mr. Chen, you're not going to find Ma Dong, are you? Can you please don't go to him? Once you go to him, he will definitely blame me, and then he won't sign a contract with me."
From her words, I can feel how difficult it is for a woman to work alone in a strange city.
After sighing heavily, I replied: "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own way, so you don't have to worry. Even if he doesn't sign with you, I will sign with you. With my words, you can rest assured."
"
"Really? Old classmate."
"We are classmates after all. You are here alone now, so you can help me as much as you can."
"Okay, thank you, old classmate. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I just want to thank you for sending me home so late last night."
"There's no need to eat, and there's no need to waste money."
"You must come, I just don't like to owe favors."
Having said that, can I not go?
After hanging up the phone, I got to work.
When it was almost noon, Ma Dong happened to come to the company to ask me to sign.
I asked him: "Did Zhang Yan come to you yesterday to renew her contract?"
Ma Dong was stunned and replied: "She came to see you?"
I nodded and asked again: "What did you say to her?"
"I didn't say anything. She wanted to renew the contract. I discussed it with several management members in the factory. We didn't plan to continue working with her, so I rejected her. I didn't expect that she came to find you."
"Is that so?" I asked with a skeptical tone.
"That's it. She invited me to dinner and gave me gifts, but the products in her factory are indeed not good. If we continue to use them, there will be problems with the products themselves."
I smiled, lit a cigarette, took a puff and then said, "But that's not what she told me."
"What did she tell you?" Ma Dong hesitated for a moment before speaking, as if he was afraid of something.
"She said you used the contract extension to force her to sleep with you, otherwise she wouldn't sign."
When Ma Dong heard this, he frowned and sneered: "How is that possible? I have never said this."
"Ma Dong, are you telling me the truth?"
"To be honest! If I, Ma Dong, had said such things, I would not be a human being."
Seeing Ma Dong swearing so confidently, I didn't know who to believe.
But this matter is neither big nor small.
In my silence, Ma Dong said to me again: "Mr. Chen, I, Ma Dong, had some style problems before, but after going through this bankruptcy, I really want to live a good life. How could I tell her this."
"Then why did she say this to me for no reason?"
"This is easy to explain. I rejected her, and you are her old classmate, so she naturally came to find you."
After Ma Dong finished speaking, he paused and added: "By the way, I remembered it. Yesterday she said that if she didn't agree to renew the contract, she would come to you and said that you were her old classmate and you would definitely be able to help.
her."
"I hope what you said is true. I went back to confirm these things, but Ma Dong, please remember, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen here, otherwise you will not be able to reap the benefits."
Ma Dong sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Mr. Chen, I really didn't lie to you. Just go and see for yourself the materials in Zhang Yan's factory. They are not up to standard at all."
"If it's not qualified, then why did you still use it before?"
Ma Dong said helplessly: "That's not because the contract has not expired. Before she divorced her ex-husband, there were no problems with the materials at all. It was not until Zhang Yan inherited the position of factory director after their divorce that the product completely changed.
"
I nodded thoughtfully and said to him: "Okay, I will find out about these things. If what you said is true, I will apologize to you."
"There's no need to apologize. It's just Mr. Chen. I think this Zhang Yan is not simple. You should be careful."
I squinted my eyes and said, "What's not simple?"
After Ma Dong exhaled softly, he whispered to me: "I know she is your old classmate, but there is something wrong with her character, and it is a big problem. I heard that she divorced her ex-husband because of
She cheated on her in marriage."
When I heard the words "marital infidelity", my heart immediately tightened.
Because I am a victim, I sneer at this kind of woman, but I am not sure whether what Ma Dong said is true or false.
After a moment of silence, I asked Ma Dong: "Do you have her ex-husband's contact information? I want to know about it."
Ma Dong looked at me in surprise and said, "Mr. Chen, you don't have a crush on Zhang Yan, do you?"
"I just want to find out. If you have it, give it to me. If you don't have it, forget it."
"Yes, I'll look for it for you." After saying that, Ma Dong took out his cell phone and flipped through his address book.
After a while, Ma Dong found me and gave me the contact information of Zhang Yan’s ex-husband Liu Yang.
After Ma Dong left, I called Zhang Yan's ex-husband.
"Hello, who are you?" The phone was connected, and a very magnetic voice came.
"Hello, are you Liu Yang?"
"I am, who are you?"
"My name is Chen Feng. We don't know each other, but do you know Zhang Yan?"
"I know you, what's wrong?"
"Are you her ex-husband?"
"I am, who are you?" He immediately asked me with caution.
"Can I get to know her a little bit from you? Don't worry, I have no other purpose than to simply get to know Zhang Yan as a person."
As soon as I said this, Liu Yang sneered, and then said: "You are her new boyfriend, right? Brother, I don't know how to tell you about this. She and I have divorced. What is her character like?
I won’t make any elaboration.”
"It is said that you divorced because of Zhang Yan's cheating during marriage, is that right?"
"Yes, but brother, if you really like her, don't ask these questions, it won't do you any good. But if you suspect that she has a problem, then I can tell you, be careful yourself."
Through this sentence, I feel that this person has a good character. Even though he and Zhang Yan have divorced, he did not say anything bad about Zhang Yan behind his back, he just told me to be careful.
But this sentence has already made a lot of sense in my mind, so I turned to him and said, "Okay, thank you! Excuse me."
After hanging up the phone, I hesitated for a moment, then sent a WeChat message to Zhang Yan and said to her: "Are you okay this afternoon? I want to go to your factory and take a look."
A few minutes later, Zhang Yan replied: "In the afternoon? How long will it take?"
