Chapter 400: The Solitary Wild Boar

Bai Xiaoya stopped walking after hearing this, tilted her head and instead of throwing a tantrum in anger, she said seriously:

"So that's after we get married? I have no objection to you going, but you have to take me with you. I want to go too..."

.........

Seeing Bai Xiaoya returning to the guesthouse as if nothing had happened, Zhang Xingwang felt so exhausted that his scalp almost broke. He felt that this matter must not be that simple.

.........

What he didn't know was that Bai Xiaoya was packing her luggage while cursing and muttering to herself:

"How shameless! You want to find someone else after marrying me. I'll go back and ask my second sister-in-law. If you can leave by then, you'll be awesome..."

Wang Xiulan felt nervous when she saw her son who was in a daze after returning home. She quickly came over and asked anxiously:

"Don't scare me, have you done something stupid to make Xiaoya angry? You have to control your brain, don't be dazed, listen to me and go comfort Xiaoya."

Zhang Xingwang came back to his senses, frowned and replied uncertainly:

"Probably not. Anyway, she will go back tomorrow afternoon to get a letter of introduction, and then she will come over to get the certificate with me."

After saying this, he was confused. Xiang Jiang had to go for sure. He had mentioned this to her before in the mountains, and he had expected her overreaction.

But this short-legged guy obviously doesn’t play by the rules. I still don’t understand his attitude. It’s ok for this woman to pretend to be generous, but she’s obviously planning something when she yells to go with me…

Wang Xiulan felt a headache when she heard this, and she felt as if the sky had fallen. She ran over, grabbed Zhang Xingwang's arm and said:

"Why don't you go with me? What if Xiaoya doesn't come back? I tell you, if you let Xiaoya run away this time, I will go back to the village immediately..."

"Don't worry, mom. Xiaoya just needs to go back to get a letter of introduction. I just took a few days off. I don't think I'll be able to work again after taking the leave. If I lose my job, it will be even more impossible for Xiaoya and I to be together..."

Zhang Xingwang was also helpless. He wanted to go, but he was afraid that the more he got involved, the more trouble would arise. According to Bai Xiaoya, things would be easier without Zhang Xingwang. If he went with her, things would only become more complicated. After all, no mother-in-law would like a son-in-law who worked three days a month and had a month off.

Wang Xiulan was scratching her head and thinking, her expression was uncertain, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Why don't I go find Xiaoya right now and ask her about the food problem we talked about today? At worst, I can make it for her in the future. Can't I just give her the delicious food when I have it..."

Zhang Xingwang casually told his mother not to cause more trouble and went back to his room. After thinking for a while, he felt that he had to consult Director Wang about this matter. He had to find a way to increase his success rate, otherwise, if something unexpected happened, he would have to stay in Jichun. At least Director Wang could say a few good words to him.

The next morning, Zhang Xingwang knocked on Director Wang's office door. Before he could say anything, Director Wang quickly started to draw the curtains. Zhang Xingwang also heard the dense and light footsteps in the corridor.

Director Wang probably noticed it too, and with a gloomy face he shouted "Xiao Song", and then asked Xiao Song who came running in to drive the people out of the corridor, and then he reluctantly regained his smile and said with a fake smile:

"Xingwang, I know why you're here. Have you made any significant progress in purchasing? Did you take Xiaoya fishing yesterday? I'm a man of my words. I'll go and discuss this with the secretary in a bit..."

"Director, there is indeed some progress, but it's not fish. Instead, we found a solitary wild boar..."

Director Wang was cheered up after hearing this, and his smile was like the New Year's Eve. Without saying anything, he poured a glass of water for Zhang Xingwang and said quietly:

"It seems that you took Xiaoya to the mountains to play? I know you are a talented child, but I heard that wild boars appear in groups during this season.

Seeing that Zhang Xingwang did not respond, he changed the subject and continued:

Xiaoya is new here and doesn’t know the place well, you should take her out more often. I’m an experienced person, you can listen to me and I’ll tell you what to do. You can take Xiaoya to the park this afternoon, it would be nice for the two of you to go fishing and chat…”

"Aunt, please stop making a fuss. There has only been some progress on this wild boar matter. It's not what you think. And this wild boar is probably a bit of a loner. It probably doesn't have a wife. It just ran out alone out of anger."

Director Wang stopped talking immediately after hearing this. He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Xingwang for a long time before he said quietly:

"Xingwang, do you have any opinion about me? I don't even have this little trust in you anymore. When we chat alone, you still call me director. If I go to the secretary right now to appoint you as the head of purchasing department, can your progress become a breakthrough?"

Zhang Xingwang also felt a headache when he saw Director Wang's crazy imagination, and quickly replied:

"Auntie Wang, whoever wants to be the purchasing manager can do it. You know that I am now completely focused on Xiaoya."

"Don't worry, I've already said something good to you. You don't know that Director Qi came to me the day before yesterday to buy food and fish, and I agreed on the spot. This is against the principle, so you've got to stop.

Young people should focus on their careers. I will give you a day off. You should go and defeat the wild boars as soon as possible..."

Director Wang looked at Zhang Xingwang who remained silent. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he spoke a lot of truths with a stern face.

Let him put his career first. It's okay for him to have romantic feelings at his age, but things have to be prioritized. Some things are more important than anything else...

Director Wang spoke for ten minutes until his mouth was dry, but Zhang Xingwang seemed unmoved.

She said angrily that she would call Liu Jiaque in a moment, and would have to say a few words against her will on his behalf, asking Zhang Xingwang to deliver the two wild boars tomorrow.

"Auntie Wang, I can see you are so busy that you are confused. I have always said that wild boar has a bad temper and likes to be alone and quiet. Besides, you know my brain, sometimes I am stubborn."

Director Wang frowned as he looked at Zhang Xingwang, who was playing rogue, and after a while he gritted his teeth and replied:

"You have completely learned bad things from Xiao Qi. I will make a phone call right now."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he slammed the door and left. Then Zhang Xingwang heard Director Qi's aggrieved voice from next door, saying that he had always let Zhang Xingwang do what he wanted and had never taught him a single move...

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Xingwang was called to Director Wang's office by Xiao Song. Director Wang was obviously in a very upset mood at the moment, like a defeated rooster, picking his ears and drinking water continuously.

"You should be satisfied this time, right? Aunt Wang has praised you to the skies. Liu Jiaque almost annoyed her to death because of you. She just had to write a letter of guarantee and give it her fingerprints.

She also agreed, and said that the mother and daughter would talk face to face when the girl returned. If there were no accidents, you could just wait for Xiaoya to come and get the certificate with you.

Auntie's ears are buzzing now, so don't say thank you. It's still early, so hurry up and get those three pigs back as soon as possible..."

"Auntie Wang, I'll go tell Xiaoya the news right away. Don't worry about the pig. I'll find time to send it to you when Xiaoya comes back. Auntie Wang, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Xiaoya first."
