Chapter 436 The Buddha said, "Don't get angry with a blockhead."
The next morning at nine o'clock, Wang Tiejun and the others waited for a while under the big locust tree at the entrance of the cotton mill. Luo Ning then appeared, dragging a suitcase and munching on a sugarcane.
She passed by Zhang Wanhua's house last night and then came to the city.
When she was fighting with Jian Yin, she was full of fighting spirit and determined to deal with Xie Chang'an. But after the matter was over, her mood plummeted. Now she had no right to care about Xie Chang'an's past messy affairs.
Xie Chang'an is the most talented person on Earth; he knows how to annoy his little fairy.
His messy affair with Jian Yin has been going on for so many years and it's still unresolved. He thought everything would be fine just because Jian Yin ran away from the army? Ha!
The Buddha said, "Don't get angry with a blockhead," and she thought the Buddha was right!
After daybreak, Luo Ning wandered around, planning to rent a house.
She had incredible luck today; she quickly found a barely acceptable house near the cotton mill, and moved in after settling in.
Xie Chang'an's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Luo Ning.
He was just a step too slow last night and couldn't find Luo Ning. His heart sank to the bottom.
The reckoning he expected never came; Luo Ning really didn't want him anymore. What a painful realization!
He tossed and turned in bed, and finally waited until dawn. He hurriedly grabbed Xie Changle's errand boy and asked him to take him to the cotton mill.
What's this bastard doing here? Wearing the company uniform, what the hell?
She didn't ask Wang Tiejun to prepare, did she? Luo Ning's gaze drifted towards Wang Tiejun.
Wang Tiejun's gaze flickered, his guilty conscience obvious. "Um, Vice President Luo, what do we do now? Should we just go in?"
Well, Luo Ning instructed him to address her as Vice President Luo inside the cotton mill, as she did not want to reveal her identity.
The cotton mill workers have all started work, and there's almost no one outside now, so their group is quite conspicuous.
"When I came here, I found a guesthouse about a kilometer away. Let's go there first to settle down and rest. Everyone must be tired from the long drive!"
Everyone: "..."
Luo Ning turned and walked away, ignoring everyone's questions.
Wang Tiejun took over from Xie Changle, pushed Xie Chang'an to catch up immediately, and the others followed suit.
Xie Changle's mission was to take his older brother to the city, and now that he had completed his mission, going back felt rather pointless.
So he quietly followed behind.
Luo Ning and his group arrived at the guesthouse near the cotton mill. Luo Ning turned around and saw Xie Changle, his brows furrowing slightly.
They're already in the city, what's he still doing there?
"I don't trust my brother, so I'm going to go with him!" Xie Changle shouted with absolute confidence.
Luo Ning rolled her eyes, then inadvertently met the disdainful gaze of the chubby waitress, and her face instantly darkened.
"How many rooms do you want? Where's the letter of introduction?" The man with the large face darted back and forth between Luo Ning, his ulterior motives barely concealed.
"Women need a marriage certificate to live here!"
Xie Chang'an unconsciously clenched his hands on the armrest of the wheelchair, feeling extremely annoyed. It was all his fault for letting Xiao Ning suffer.
Luo Baiwan's expression instantly darkened. It was all because of his stubbornness that Da Ya didn't even have a marriage certificate. Sigh.
Qiangzi and the others looked rather grim; they had never heard of needing a marriage certificate to stay at a guesthouse when traveling.
Luo Ning looked indifferent, glanced into the alley from outside, and noticed a guesthouse not far away. "Let's find another place!"
Her words were like a royal decree, and everyone carried them out immediately.
The man with the large face was furious, throwing things around and yelling, "A bunch of bumpkins trying to stay at a hotel? Bah! What a bunch of idiots!"
Qiangzi turned his head and glared angrily at the big-faced man. "Try saying that again!"
The big-faced guy wasn't intimidated at all. He jumped up and down, shouting, "A bunch of country bumpkins following a woman, none of them are any good! They want to stay at my place? Bah!"
Qiangzi was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to go back and beat that scoundrel.
Wang Tiejun was a bit overwhelmed and reached out to pull Qiangzi back.
"Hey, Brother Tiejun, don't pull me! I'm going to teach that old woman a lesson and make her look down on me!" Qiangzi shouted as he struggled.
Wang Tiejun held him tightly and pulled him forward, saying, "Qiangzi, don't forget why we came out here. Don't cause trouble!"
Qiangzi's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded repeatedly. Luckily, Brother Tiejun held him back, otherwise things would have gone terribly wrong.
Luo Ning walked into the guesthouse not far away first, and a middle-aged man immediately asked with a smile, "Young comrade, hello, welcome. How many rooms do you plan to get? Did you bring your letter of introduction?"
This guesthouse was very close to the one we had just met. The owner had already overheard everything the man with the big face said and knew they were together, so he was very welcoming.
That's more like it. The boss's words made everyone feel much better.
Luo Ning nodded and stated his requirements, "Boss, I need five rooms, the best quality ones, preferably next to each other. We plan to stay for three days!"
Luo Baiwan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.
He placed the letter of introduction on the counter. Now that Wang Tiejun was the village chief, he could have as many of these things as he wanted.
"Good, good, good!" The boss's eyes lit up. This was a big client. He picked up the register, looked at it carefully, and quickly prepared rooms for Luo Ning and his group.
Luo Ning suggested going to see the apartment, and the owner readily agreed. As the two went upstairs, Wang Tiejun gave Qiangzi a wink, and Qiangzi nodded and followed immediately.
The three of them returned shortly afterward.
Luo Ning gestured to Luo Baiwan, "Dad, no problem, pay up."
Luo Baiwan immediately paid the money and got the key, and the group went upstairs to settle in.
Once upstairs, Luo Ning began assigning rooms: "Xie Changle and Xie Chang'an will share a room, Qiangzi and Luo Yang will share a room, and Wang Tiejun, my dad, and I will have a room all to ourselves!"
Xie Chang'an has physical limitations, so it's good to have someone take care of him.
Qiangzi and Luoyang are young people who have common topics and live together as companions.
Moreover, Qiangzi can't stay still; he'll definitely wander off to Luoyang's place. Right now, among their group, only the two of them are newcomers.
Newcomers tend to stick together instinctively, so it might be better to let them live together.
Wang Tiejun is the general manager, and he is the highest-ranking official among them. He should have some special privileges, so he was given a single room.
Even her own father couldn't be neglected; he had to be given a room.
Moreover, since he controls the finances, it's always inconvenient for him to take money in front of others.
As for her, being a woman, of course she should have her own room. With the crackdown underway, and the winds blowing strong, living together without a marriage certificate will attract the police.
She could understand that the woman wanted a marriage certificate, but she was very annoyed by the way the woman looked at her.
Apart from Xie Chang'an's silent protest, everyone was satisfied with the allocation.
Luo Ning took the middle key, opened the door, and placed the suitcase against the wall before the others filed in.
After everyone found their seats, the discussion quickly began.
