Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Jealousy

No need to even change the notification!

Yang Qunying cleared her throat and said, "Xiangxiang, Director Li came to inspect yesterday. You’ve switched to a bigger venue. If the results don’t come through, that might not be good, right?"

The young girl hadn’t been at work for long, so as a senior, she had to offer some advice.

Tian Xiang: "Director Yang, don’t worry, I’ve got it under control."

As the main organizer, since Tian Xiang said so, Yang Qunying could only go along with it.

After Tian Xiang left, another aunt in the community committee said, "Young people need to experience setbacks to understand how to handle things out there.

Isn’t there a saying, ’If you don’t listen to the elders, losses are right in front of you.’?"

Yang Qunying: "I didn’t mean it like that."

Actually, Yang Qunying quite liked Tian Xiang, the young girl, and was a bit worried about her.

It was already noon by the time she returned to the factory from the residential area.

Tian Xiang mentioned the venue change to Meng Cheng’an, and the two of them went to the canteen together.

At the entrance of the canteen, they ran into Chen Yong and Xia Yue.

For this lecture, Chen Yong had found Xia Yue to partner up with him.

They greeted each other, and Chen Yong said he was organizing a concert for tonight’s lecture, inviting some of his good buddies over to play some music to liven things up.

This guy moves fast; he already has a program.

Director Li had already talked to him; how could Chen Yong not take it seriously?

Besides, if you really count it, last night’s event had him at the bottom, but he just brought his relatives and friends from the residential area to make up numbers.

Chen Yong: "And you, don’t tell me you haven’t prepared anything?"

Tian Xiang: "Don’t worry, I’ve got something better than your tricks."

Chen Yong: "..."

This person is always so confident and energetic.

"What kind of event?"

Tian Xiang: "Secret."

She plans to unveil it at the last moment, to dazzle everyone.

What’s there to keep a secret?

Chen Yong was puzzled, and suddenly thought that maybe she was worried about Tao Huilan hearing and copying it, so he lowered his voice and leaned in closer, "What’s our relationship? You can just tell me."

But before he finished speaking, Tian Xiang was pulled away by Meng Cheng’an on the other side.

Meng Dabeautiful, wearing a white shirt and blue overalls, aggressively squeezed between the two and asked Chen Yong, "You can talk, but why so close?"

Chen Yong: "Me?"

"I was just whispering!"

Meng Cheng’an: "I see you’re being a rogue, trying to take advantage of a female comrade."

Meng Cheng’an’s face was a bit cold, clearly not joking but serious.

Chen Yong felt utterly wronged.

"Me, a rogue? Am I that kind of person? You, Meng Cheng’an, don’t..."

Don’t think just because you’re Tian Xiang’s ambiguous partner, you can do whatever you want. I know you two have a thing, but you haven’t made it clear yet!

Every day you’re not officially together, I still have a chance.

Chen Yong thought to himself, but he already knew he had no chance.

Even without Meng Cheng’an, Tian Xiang had no interest in him; he was just being stubborn.

Tian Xiang saw the two were about to argue and quickly jumped in to break it up.

"Chen Yong, no need to explain, he’s just joking."

Tian Xiang chuckled and then said to Meng Cheng’an, "We’re in the same team, just like buddies."

Xia Yue also tried to defuse the situation, "Alright, alright, let’s go inside, or the food will be all gone."

Chen Yong was pulled away by Xia Yue.

Tian Xiang watched them enter the door, feeling a bit awkward, then said to Meng Cheng’an, "Don’t be so tense, he just wanted to chat a bit."

Who knows when it started, but the words "silly crush" were gone from Chen Yong’s forehead, leaving only "little villain."

Even though he was always goofing around and hanging around her, Tian Xiang could tell he was just not serious and had no real interest in her anymore.

Meng Cheng’an, staring off into the distance, quietly said, "He was too close to you."

In fact, Meng Cheng’an was also a bit surprised by his own overreaction once he realized it.

But seeing him get that close really made him jealous.

He had never gotten that close before, how could Chen Yong, that careless guy, be allowed to?

Tian Xiang didn’t know what he was thinking, staring at his forehead "obsessive" and sighed inwardly, "Chen Yong is just playful by nature; he’s generally decent, so don’t overthink it or misunderstand."

Meng Cheng’an stared at his toes without saying a word.

Tian Xiang: "Let’s go eat too."

"Okay."

...

After work in the afternoon, Tian Xiang went to the canteen to buy two big steamed buns, put them in her lunchbox, and left.

She first went to the community committee to borrow some things from Director Yang, like speakers, chairs, tables, and such.

While moving things, Yang Qunying also asked her, "Xiangxiang, how do you plan to organize the event this time? I heard Chen Yong and Tao Huilan’s side have a band playing and another giving out yarn.

Chen Yong’s singing, I won’t comment; it’s not very pleasant; I can’t listen to it anyway.

Tao Huilan’s yarn is very appealing, even though it’s just a small piece, only enough to tie hair, but it’s free and doesn’t require coupons, better than nothing. She might attract our crowd over there."

The areas under the jurisdiction of the first and second community committees are adjacent, after all; if people want to go where there’s something free to get, they’ll obviously go there!

The matter of the three people competing for positions in the factory’s Internal Affairs Department was known to Yang Qunying as well. She was familiar with Tian Xiang, and the young girl was pretty, so she was obviously biased toward her side.

Tian Xiang: "Don’t worry, Director Yang, I’ve prepared something too."

"What is it?"

Tian Xiang: "You’ll find out soon."

"Being all mysterious now! Okay, I’ll wait and see."

Tian Xiang carried the items to the ball court and set things up first.

She was busy for a while, munching on steamed buns for dinner when Meng Cheng’an arrived and handed her a boiled egg from his pocket.

Tian Xiang: "Did you bring this just for me?"

"Yeah."

Tonight, the Meng family had egg noodles, and seeing the round white egg, Meng Cheng’an remembered the first time she ate at the factory canteen she had brought a boiled egg, so he specially brought one for her.

Tian Xiang accepted it without hesitation, "Thanks."

After dinner, Tian Xiang said to Meng Cheng’an, who was arranging wires to hang some lights, "I’m going out to pick someone up, you keep busy here."

Tian Xiang left first.

It was about dark outside by this time, and the people in the residential area, out for a walk and chat after dinner, asked Tian Xiang when they saw her, "Mr. Tian, what program do you have prepared today? I heard Residence No. 1 is giving out yarn; if there’s nothing interesting here, I’m going over there."

Although the three people are responsible for different locations, they are all from the mechanical residential area, and you can’t stop people from going to that side.

For the past month, Tian Xiang had been around this residential area every day, so everyone recognized her.

Tian Xiang smiled and said, "Aunts and uncles, I wanted to keep a bit of mystery, but now I have no choice but to give it away. Our program here is better than those at the first and third community committees. This time, I’ve pulled out all the stops and invited the top troupe from our district to perform model opera for everyone.

Make sure to come early to get a good seat; if you’re late, you might miss the front row."
