Chapter 010: Subtle Strategies for Courtship

Zheng Xiaolu's face was pale, devoid of any color. She forced out a smile that was more grotesque than crying and said softly, "Brother Zhang, thank you... I... I want to be alone for a while..."

What harm is there? For the sake of love, one must resort to any means necessary. Besides, you are not just taking advantage of the girl and then abandoning her. You will marry her in the future and treat her well, giving this helpless orphan a shoulder to lean on. What does it matter to use a few tactics now? I’m not criticizing you, Shengzi, but what do you have? An average job, an average family background; do you think a girl as beautiful as a flower would follow you without any effort? Dream on, unless she is out of her mind.

Mai Xiaoqi's parents, sister, brother-in-law, and Zheng Xiaolu rushed ahead, while Deputy Factory Director Xu, the factory union leaders, and the orphanage leaders followed behind, each with a look of shock on their faces

Cough! But she is still so young, and she has entrusted herself to the wrong person. Don't be fooled by the fact that the police are only investigating now; I estimate that it's almost certain. Mai usually dresses in all designer brands and drives a private car. Tell me, how many people in today's society own a private car? She does! Based on her salary? That's impossible. Mai is finished, and as for Xiao Lu in the future... sigh!

The car began to turn around and head out of the factory. Mai Xiaoqi's sister and brother-in-law supported his parents as they rushed after him. They only managed to stop the last car, and all that could be heard was his mother crying out: "Comrade police, you must have made a mistake; you cannot wrong an innocent person. My Xiaoqi is a good child; how could he possibly be involved in economic issues"

Guo Pangzi said seriously: "With your passive approach, do you still want to be a radish? You might as well just be that pit!"

Zhang Sheng said with a bitter smile: "Alright, alright, I will just wait for my pitiful situation, don't worry about it unnecessarily."

Zhang Sheng said bluntly: "There is no space in my house, my parents are at home all day!"

Zhang Sheng chuckled, patted Guo Panzai on the shoulder, and sighed, saying: "Guo Panzai, I know you care about me. However... you are right, life is about the essentials like rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. One cannot talk about love for a lifetime. I can barely support myself, so how can I pursue someone? Isn't that just being unfair to others?"

What is meant by taking advantage of a gap? This is what is referred to as taking advantage of a gap, as stated in Sun Tzu's Art of War. If you show care and consideration at this moment, it will yield twice the result with half the effort. Women need comfort the most when they are vulnerable; that is when they are most likely to open up emotionally to you. Then, from time to time, you can take her out to relieve her boredom, perhaps to watch a movie or something similar.

Um ... ...

Mai Xiaoqi was held by two police officers and pushed to the side of the police car. He turned his head, wanting to say something to the family members who had caught up, but the police had already opened the car door and pushed him inside

Just like that, take a bold approach, and wait for the raw rice to turn into cooked rice. A girl like Xiaolu, who values her integrity and already has feelings for you, has no other path but to marry you. Of course, after taking advantage, you must continue to cry; a woman's tears soften a man's heart, while a man's tears lead a woman to lose herself. Hehehe... Of course, after taking advantage, you must continue to cry; a woman's tears soften a man's heart, while a man's tears lead a woman to lose herself. Hehehe...

He urged Guo the Fatty, saying: "Alright, you should head back now, go on, go on, or else it will be too late and your sister-in-law will scold you again"

Guo Pangzi covered his mouth and coughed once, his eyes darting around slyly. He lowered his voice and said: "I say, brother, you like Xiao Lu; I've noticed it for a long time. Such a wonderful girl, if I weren't married, I would have thoughts about her too. But if you like someone, you have to pursue them, right? Our conditions are much worse than theirs, but isn't the opportunity here now?"

Zhang Sheng glanced at him and said, "Guo Fatty, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Guo Pangzi glanced at him and continued: "It must be said that this girl, Xiaolu, has had a tough time. Without parents, I have seen many girls like her go astray, but she, on the other hand, has impeccable character and work ethics. You tell me, for a girl who is all alone and suddenly has a successful and charming man pursuing her, how could she not be moved?"

Among the leaders at the back, Deputy Factory Director Xu stands at the forefront, his slicked-back hair still shining, but his face is as dark as a storm cloud. His mood must be the worst; he was originally in charge of financial affairs, and now one of his top subordinates has encountered a problem, which may very well implicate him. How could his mood possibly be good?

Um ... ...

He placed his arm around Zhang Sheng's shoulder and said with a mysterious expression: "Brother, as someone who has been through this, let me tell you, the times when a woman is most likely to lose herself are: first, when the environment is extremely romantic, making her feel dazed with emotion; second, when her emotions are highly agitated, making it somewhat difficult for her to control herself; and third, when she is sad, feeling lonely and helpless.

Guo Pangzi shook his head as he took the bicycle, his plump backside settling down, causing the cracked seat to let out a mournful creak, and then he was completely engulfed by his ample posterior

Once you have become more familiar with her, find an opportunity to bring her to your home. Tearfully express your true feelings to her. Remember, you must have tears on your face; girls like Xiao Lu are the most easily softened. You must have tears on your face. If you really can't cry, just use some onions to induce it.

The leaders at the back, along with the union and kindergarten personnel, were whispering among themselves, while the expressions of several leaders from the factory were quite intriguing. It was only after the police cars had all left the factory that they approached Mai Xiaoqi's parents to offer a few words of comfort, stating that the factory would certainly pay attention to this matter, and if there were no issues with Mai Xiaoqi, they would not allow their own colleagues to suffer any grievances. Subsequently, Mai Xiaoqi's brother-in-law drove away with the family in Mai Xiaoqi's Santana.

The leaders of the union and the orphanage comforted Zheng Xiaolu for a while, then shook their heads and sighed as they left. Several leaders from the factory hurried back to the office to begin formulating strategies regarding this matter

Guo Pangzi patted his chest and said: "It's fine, my brother sells goods at the small market during the day and has to set up a stall at the night market in the evening. You can borrow my place, but you need to bring your own bed sheets! You, in the past, were just too conservative; have you been too deeply influenced by romantic films? Those charming young girls, you are nothing but a mouth that talks about love all day long. Do you think they would fall for you? What do you have to offer in love? Those charming young girls, you are nothing but a mouth that talks about love all day long. Do you think they would fall for you? What do you have to offer in love?

Zhang Sheng's gaze was fixed on Zheng Xiaolu, whose face was filled with an expression of astonishment and disbelief. Tears streamed down her once radiant face, which was always adorned with a sunny smile. At that moment, she did not know what to say, her expression was one of panic and helplessness. Her sorrowful demeanor made it impossible for Zhang Sheng to feel any sense of schadenfreude; he could only look at her with a heart full of pain.

This is a bit too damaging, Guo Fatty

Zhang Sheng stared in astonishment at Guo Panzai, who became increasingly excited as he spoke. The layers of fat on his face trembled, as if he had transformed into the male protagonist engaged in criminal activities. With an extreme sense of exhilaration, he swallowed hard and continued to indulge in his fantasies: "As you cry, you rush forward to pull down her pants, while continuously shouting, 'I love you, I love you to the point of madness. Even if you turn around and break me, I still want you! I would die for you!'"

The last police officer in the vehicle leaned out, his face stern, and shouted at her: "Is it necessary for us to be deployed for economic issues? This is economic crime, a crime! Do you understand? We will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty one go free. Comrade, do not obstruct us in the performance of our duties!"

Guo Pangzi is aware that Zhang Sheng has a crush on a girl. Seeing Zhang Sheng still staring blankly at the spot where Zheng Xiaolu disappeared, he pats him on the shoulder, pulls him under the eaves, hands him a "White Three Pagoda" cigarette, and says: "The people from Director Mai's family are really unreasonable. They just left, as if Xiaolu has no relationship with them at all, not even a word was said. Poor Xiaolu, she just got engaged, and now this kind of incident has happened. Anyone would be heartbroken in her place."

Guo Pangzi laughed so hard that his chin seemed to shake into three. The fat on his chin trembled for quite a while. Suddenly, he raised his head and saw Zhang Sheng's expression, hurriedly supporting his chin, and asked: "What are you staring at me for?"

Zhang Sheng saw Zheng Xiaolu standing there as if she had lost her soul, neglected by everyone. His heart softened, and he couldn't help but step forward to comfort her: "Xiaolu, don't be sad. It's just detention and investigation; perhaps in two days, everything will be fine, and they will release you. Don't get too worked up."

She is an orphan without any support, yet she has always remained so optimistic. It is not her fault that a well-educated, successful, and handsome man is pursuing her; everyone has the right to aspire to happiness. However, her happiness was shattered on the day of the engagement banquet, leaving her in a state of despair.

Life consists of the essentials: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Once you become a couple, is it reasonable to spend all day in an empty room talking sweet nothings while holding a child? Isn't that nonsense? Therefore, pursuing happiness cannot rely solely on one's own conditions; one must fully utilize all favorable circumstances around them. If you just sit there pining in secret, then you deserve the heartbreak.

Guo Pangzi stepped on the pedal and said somewhat angrily: "Fine, don't listen to me. Just focus on waiting for your fate. Every radish has its own hole; you won't miss out. Your wife will eventually find someone, but who knows what kind of oddities will come along."

Mai Xiaoqi's brother-in-law hurriedly helped his mother-in-law aside, whispering in her ear: "Mom, don't get upset. It's just a detention investigation. I'll ask my friends at the judicial bureau to find out what's going on. Once we understand the situation, we can think of a solution. Blocking them like this is of no use."
