Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 2741 - 2737: Gong Xi

“Gong Xi.” Gong Xi didn’t even know how to respond because he never expected that Qin Xue actually didn’t know his name. She had acted so familiar, but in the end, it was just his wishful thinking.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have worried for so long. Obviously, even thinking with his toes, there’s a better man waiting here, much stronger than him.

So after comparing like this, Gong Xi was sure she would choose that man instead of him. In that case, what was he afraid of?

What Gong Xi thought and did was all about preventing Qin Xue from fancying him, but now he was being told that it was all just in his own head. It was imaginable how hurtful this result was for him.

“Okay, Gong Xi, I called you here because I wanted to ask if you’re interested in learning something else, something that can make your future smoother.” Qin Xue didn’t really know how to say this to him, but that was roughly what she meant.

“You mean to say that the only reason you called me here was to test me, just to ask for my willingness?” Gong Xi didn’t expect Qin Xue to actually say this. This answer left him at a loss for words because it was really different from what he had worried about. He should be happy, yet he was shocked.

“Yes.” Qin Xue just nodded.

“Alright, I’ll learn.” Despite being surprised, Gong Xi, seeing Chu Molin looking at him, nodded as if an unseen force prompted him to do so.

“Very well, come here tomorrow and wait for me. I’ll tell you what to do, but let me make it clear first, you’ll have to sign a contract by then. But rest assured, there won’t be any unreasonable conditions in it. The only thing is the number of years you need to sign for. That’s just to ensure that my effort in training you doesn’t benefit someone else for nothing.” Qin Xue clarified in advance, otherwise, people might think it was a slave contract.

“Okay, I got it.” Gong Xi had heard before that some people in their factory signed for a few years too because they joined some training, and they’re all doing well now. So after hearing this, Gong Xi felt his opportunity had arrived, how could he not agree? He promptly agreed, fearing Qin Xue would change her mind.

“Alright then, I’m done here for now, need to head back. You should go back to work too.” Qin Xue packed up her things, walked over to Chu Molin, and said to Gong Xi, directly ushering him out.

“Uh, do you have any other instructions?” Gong Xi was bewildered. Did he really overthink it? Did she really have no other intentions?

“I did want you to do something, but do you really want to do it?” Qin Xue pondered for a moment before asking.

“What is it? Just tell me first.” Gong Xi knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

“I need you to find out the connections and social relations of the people at the factory opposite us. I need it by tomorrow, so it doesn’t matter how much you can find.” Qin Xue thought to herself that time was tight, anything he found would be helpful.

“Alright, I’ll look into it.” Gong Xi had previously looked into things over there and knew some details, but he hadn’t delved deeply because he wasn’t too familiar with this line of work, and doing too much might get him noticed.

This was also because Guo Aiguo treated him well. So he understood that when the factory across the way was doing about the same as theirs, he knew that the inside story wasn’t as he thought.

To say there was no relation at all would be unlikely, the enmity was too obvious. This was an easy-to-guess situation. How could there be nothing at all? So he went to investigate.

He investigated quite a bit, but there wasn’t much useful information. This was an outcome he hadn’t expected from the start.
