CHAPTER 462: 462 SEEKING MARRIAGE

"Hmm, I feel at ease sending it with you. Do you think I can resign now?"

"I don’t think so. Even if you resign, they’ll still come looking for you. Just wait; you won’t be in trouble when the superior reinstates you."

Wei Kaiyun sighed in his heart, knowing this himself, but feeling frustrated.

After hanging up the phone, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, his mind in chaos.

Lu Weiqi knocked and entered. "Director Wei, the security department caught someone stealing."

"Hand them over to Vice Director Ding, let him handle it."

"Yes."

"You’re getting married in eight days. I’ll give you a ten-day leave; you can take it whenever you like."

"Thank you, Director Wei. I’ll take leave on the 28th."

"Alright, happy new marriage. Here’s my gift money."

Wei Kaiyun took out twenty and handed it to Lu Weiqi.

At that moment, Tian Mingyan’s voice came from outside the door.

Wei Kaiyun felt a full heart of disgust. "Get rid of her."

"Yes."

Lu Weiqi opened the door and then closed it behind him.

"Mr. Tian, do you need anything?"

"I’m here to see Director Wei."

"If you need anything, report directly to your group leader. Don’t frequently disturb Director Wei. If it’s important, it’ll be escalated to him."

Tian Mingyan was frustrated. She had no particular issue, just wanted to get closer to Wei Kaiyun.

But being told off by his secretary like this was embarrassing. She forced a smile, "Alright, I know." Then turned and left.

With things like this now, she was thinking about how good Wei Kaiyun’s conditions were. Still unmarried, even if things don’t work out, living together would benefit her greatly.

Yet, she couldn’t understand why Wei Kaiyun ignored her. Without his nod, Lu Weiqi would never act like this.

If she could pull Wei Kaiyun back, Jia Xingzhi wouldn’t dare to bother her. She knew this was because of her frequent visits to Wei Kaiyun.

If he truly ignored her, she couldn’t shake off Jia Xingzhi.

Thinking of that humiliating man, Tian Mingyan was disgusted. He found a young girl, but still couldn’t have children. It must be his problem.

As she walked, deep in thought, someone called out, "Mr. Tian?"

She looked up to see a middle-aged man, the team leader from the third workshop. He had been pursuing her; his wife died, leaving two sons and a daughter.

She knew what he was getting at, but his situation really didn’t appeal to her.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang. I’ve got some matters to attend to, so I’m heading back."

Jiang Guangxing watched Tian Mingyan’s back. He liked her, and now that she’s divorced, maybe he had a chance?

But seeing her attitude, it seemed she disliked him.

What was there to dislike about him? Sure, he had a heavy burden, but since Jia Xingzhi said she couldn’t have children, wasn’t it the perfect arrangement — she wouldn’t have to bear more?

Jiang Guangxing couldn’t understand. He decided to find someone to mediate for him since he’s long wanted a wife after losing his six years ago.

He then went straight to the trade union, knowing the ladies there could help. Mainly because Tian Mingyan didn’t seem seriously involved with anyone.

He found Sister Tian. "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here?"

"Sister Tian, I need your help with something."

"What do you need help with? Just say it."

There were two other ladies in the office, union members skilled in mediation, so Jiang Guangxing didn’t hold back. "Ladies, I need a favor. I fancy a lady, and I need your help to mediate."

"Oh? Who is it?" The three ladies’ interest was piqued, and they gathered around.

"I like Tian Mingyan."

"She’s got high standards, and it’s not easy to approach her. We’ve dealt with her before; you probably don’t stand a chance."

"Sister Tian, please help me. She’s divorced now, and Jia Xingzhi said she can’t have children. I’ve got three. If we’re together, there’ll be someone to take care of her when she’s old."

The three of them nodded, realizing Jiang Guangxing had thought this through.

"What you say makes sense, but Ms. Tian has her own house. She might adopt a child; she’s inquired about it before," Sister A said.

Sister B immediately chimed in, "Mr. Jiang, you’re not aiming for her house, are you?" After all, similar issues had occurred before; Jia Xingzhi once caused a scene over a house.

"Absolutely not. My place is near the textile factory, just a ten-minute walk. Plus, I’ve already booked another apartment. I’m not after her house."

The three women smiled, and Sister Tian spoke, "Alright, we’ll ask her and let you know if it works out."

"Thank you so much, ladies. If it doesn’t work out, please keep it to yourselves so it won’t affect Ms. Tian."

"Sure, we won’t spread the word."

Watching Jiang Guangxing walk away, the three nodded. "He’s a good man, and if Tian Mingyan is smart, she should agree — he’s genuinely considering her."

"Yes, didn’t expect Jiang Guangxing to be quite decent. Old Tian, why don’t you talk to Tian Mingyan?"

"Sure, we’ll go together. She’s had a rough time. You two should also persuade her. Getting such a man like Jia Xingzhi was a blessing for her ex-wife, who got away from him early."

Sister B commented disdainfully, "I often see Tian Mingyan going to find Director Wei, hoping for unrealistic things."

"Sigh! High hopes and fragile fate, let’s try to persuade her. If it works, that would be great."

The three were doers, and since it was a break, they decided to go find Tian Mingyan together.

"Sister Tian, what brings you here? Do you need something from me?"

"Ms. Tian, someone asked us to come talk to you."

"What about?" Tian Mingyan asked, confused about who would need her for anything.

"It’s like this, Jiang Guangxing came to us hoping to become family with you."

Tian Mingyan frowned; Jiang Guangxing was forty, seven years older than her, and the main issue was he had three kids — too much pressure.

"Ms. Tian, listen to us. Whether you think it’s feasible or not, let us know.
