As Qi Zhendong and Wei Dewei swam over, they saw Xiao Jinfeng and Lu Weimin chatting happily and came over to greet them.
Both of them knew that the relationship between Xiao Jinfeng and Lu Weimin was not ordinary. Although Xiao Jinfeng's academic performance in class was not good, his personality was quite generous. Although Qi Zhendong and Wei Dewei, who were good students, did not get along well with Xiao Jinfeng, they still got along fine.
After Xiao Jinfeng left, the three of them huddled together again. "Damin, do you really plan to go to Nantang?"
"Can I not go? I don't have the courage to give up my job," Lu Weimin smiled. "Misfortune may be the foundation of good fortune, and good fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune. Many things are unclear, and who knows, I might achieve something in my hometown of Nantang."
"What about your relationship with Zhen Ni?" Wei Dewei frowned. "I heard that Yao Ping has been纠缠ing Zhen Ni. If you go to Nantang, the girl will be alone all day, and since you're not married, it's hard to say what might happen."
Wei Dewei spoke bluntly, which might sound harsh to others, but Lu Weimin knew that what Wei Dewei said was true.
Zhen Ni eventually ended up with Yao Ping under these circumstances. Of course, this was partly due to Zhen Jingcai's fall from grace, but there were also other factors at play.
Although Lu Weimin, with his twenty years of social experience, had not fully adjusted his mindset, he could see many issues more deeply and clearly.
Even if they were married, living apart could easily lead to problems, especially in an era when transportation and communication were not very developed. A girl like Zhen Ni, who was still young and immature, was particularly vulnerable.
"De'wei, what are you saying? Does Damin have no charm at all?" Qi Zhendong glared at Wei Dewei. "Damin is talented and capable. Even if he is temporarily down, it's just a short-term setback. With a bit of effort, he can be transferred back. What's so bad about that?"
"Alright, Zhendong, don't try to comfort me. I know you both are doing it for my good, and I appreciate it," Lu Weimin shook his head to stop the topic. No one had the right to speak on this matter, including himself. Everything could only be verified through practice. Even now, Lu Weimin still longed to be with Zhen Ni for life, but reality would not bend to his will. Even if he had a certain opportunity, it might not change everything.
Seeing that Lu Weimin did not want to discuss this topic, Qi Zhendong and Wei Dewei wisely stopped.
They had heard that Lu Weimin had been in a bad mood over this matter recently. When they came to visit him today, they found that his mood was not as terrible as they had imagined. He even seemed to have a certain composure, which reassured them.
"De'wei, when are you going to report to the newspaper? Zhendong, the postal and telecommunications bureau is a very lucrative place. I heard the city is about to start a digital telephone transformation, and your bureau will make a lot of money," Lu Weimin soaked his body in the water, leaning against the edge of the pool, seeming somewhat restless.
"The newspaper is urging me to report soon, maybe next week. It's boring at home, so I might as well start working," Wei Dewei sighed. "Our student days are about to end, and we're entering the working world. It's a memorable day. I wonder if the work at the newspaper will live up to our expectations. The higher my hopes, the greater my disappointment might be. Maybe one day I'll go out and explore on my own."
"Same for the postal and telecommunications bureau. My major doesn't really match the work there, but what can I do?" Qi Zhendong said. "I can only take it one step at a time. Many of our classmates have already contacted people in Shenzhen, not waiting for the school to assign them, and are going to Guangdong to seek their fortune. I really admire their courage. They are the pioneers. If it doesn't work out, I might do the same."
"You two are really taking things for granted. But De'wei, Zhendong, I actually agree with your thoughts. Try it out. If you like it, work hard; if not, reconsider. The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. As long as you have the ability, you can achieve something anywhere," Lu Weimin encouraged them. "Life is about striving for your ideals and achieving what you want. That's the only way to make your life meaningful."
"Damin, I feel like you're different from before. Did something stimulate you?" Wei Dewei looked at Lu Weimin up and down. "Why does it feel like you're encouraging us to go out and explore now?"
"Hehe, De'wei, it's not appropriate for you to go out and explore now. You should work at your current units for a few years to gain some experience. Many units say that we college graduates are all high-minded but low-handed. If you were really put to the test, you might back down. You haven't done it before, so of course, you would be hesitant," Lu Weimin waved his hand. "Life is a process of accumulation. Only when your knowledge and experience reach a certain level can you be confident and calm."
As the three were discussing heatedly, Lu Weimin noticed a slight change in Wei Dewei's expression. He turned his head and saw the detestable figure of Yao Ping by the pool, accompanied by two others, who were classmates but had a distant relationship during high school. After the Zhen Ni incident, their relationship had become even more strained.
"How did Yao Ping come here?" Qi Zhendong grunted.
"Why can't he come? This pool isn't your private property," Wei Dewei said coldly. "That guy is no good. He's been纠缠ing Mo Han again. Look, he's definitely after Ji Han."
"Mo Han? Mr. Ji's daughter?" Lu Weimin's eyes turned cold, suddenly remembering something.
Mr. Ji's daughter, Mo Han, was a few years younger than him. In Lu Weimin and Wei Dewei's minds, she had always been a very pure and lovely little sister. Mo Han was very close to Lu Weimin and Wei Dewei, calling them "Big Brother Damin" and "Big Brother Dewei," which made them very fond of this neighbor's little sister.
Mo Han should still be in her first year at Changjiang Normal College. In his memory, something happened during this summer. It was said that she was drunk at a karaoke bar after being persistently pursued by Yao Ping and was then raped by him. Mo Han almost killed herself and reported the incident to the police station, but later, Yao Ping's family intervened, and for some reason, Mo Han withdrew the case, which barely settled the matter.
Afterward, Yao Ping did everything he could to win Mo Han's heart. She seemed to have given up and decided to follow Yao Ping. It was said that she had two abortions in her second year, which almost got her expelled from school. Later, when Yao Ping got tired of her and successfully pursued Zhen Ni, he dumped Mo Han. Mo Han dropped out of college and returned to the factory, where she became known as a notorious woman.
Later, it was said that Mr. Ji had kicked Mo Han out of the house and severed their father-daughter relationship. This was what Lu Weimin heard from Xiao Jinfeng and others when he returned to the factory. Mo Han then disappeared, and it was rumored that she was seen working as a dancer in a famous nightclub in Guangzhou, or that she had become a mistress to an old Taiwanese man in Shanghai.
Yao Ping and his group also saw Lu Weimin and the others, seeming to hesitate for a moment but then walked arrogantly to a corner of the pool. Mo Han and another girl were chatting and laughing in that corner, not noticing Yao Ping and his group.
