Republic of China Designer [Transmigration Book]

Gu Que took a closer look at Xia Jinting's selected clothing workshops, most of which deal in suits, neither the size of the stores nor the reputation in the industry can compare with Yimingfang.

Xia Jinting has done the comparison, so there is no reason not to see the advantages of Yimingfang.

Where is the problem...

Gu Que had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask Xia Jinting hastily, he planned to wait and see what happened.

Xia Jinting was completely unaware of the confusion in Gu Que's heart. On this day, he made sufficient preparations and went to apply for a job at a garment factory he liked.

The clothing factory is not big, but there are quite a few applicants. When it was Xia Jinting's turn, the manager stared at him silently for a long time.

Xia Jinting didn't take the steward's scrutiny to heart, and he was still very confident about this application.

The content of the interview in this clothing factory is based on the appearance and the conversation.

Because the employees of the garment workshop need to receive guests, they are required to have good facial features, good looks, and not to stutter.

Those who are unqualified in appearance will be screened in the first round, and those who pass the preliminary screening will have the opportunity to have an interview with the supervisor.

Xia Jinting has an outstanding appearance and a generous conversation, and successfully passed the preliminary screening.

Immediately, he was brought before the steward.

The steward is old and has a gray beard, but he is very energetic.

He twirled his beard, nodded at Xia Jinting and said, "Sit down."

When Xia Jinting was seated, the steward did not speak immediately, but still stared at Xia Jinting as he did when we first met.

"Do you know how to make suits?" After a while, the steward said.

"Know a little."

"Previous experience in garment making? Where did you work?"

"I was an apprentice in Haotai." Xia Jinting answered truthfully.

The steward sighed softly, shook his head and said, "Go back, we can't invite you."

Xia Jinting asked in a daze, "Why?"

In addition to confessing their past resumes, other applicants had to demonstrate their skills on the spot. Xia Jinting prepared for many days, but he didn't even have the chance to show off.

The steward looked at his young face, hesitated to speak, and finally just waved his hands without saying anything

Xia Jinting was completely confused by this battle of riddles, he didn't think much about it, he just regarded it as an accident.

At that time, he still had hope in his heart and set out for the next garment factory with great ambition.

But soon, he got the same answer. If other applicants were unsuccessful, at least he could ask for a reason. Only he was rejected every time for no reason.

Xia Jinting gradually realized that something was wrong with the secretive attitude of the stewards of the various garment factories.

When he was rejected for no reason again, Xia Jinting's face turned livid, and he insisted on asking Chou Yinmao, but the other party struggled for a long time, and only managed to say: "You have offended the Jiang family, how dare we use you."

One sentence was like a bolt from the blue to Xia Jinting, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I have divorced the Jiang family, and now I have nothing to do with them!"

"It's too bad if we don't have one!" The steward slapped his thigh, "It's not that we can't recruit people, why bother to offend our colleagues for you, a nobody."

It was only then that Xia Jinting realized that the freedom he thought was nothing more than a castle in the air. He seemed to have gotten rid of the identity of "the Jiang family's unmarried man's wife", but fell into the identity of "the Jiang family's divorced man's wife".

Perhaps Gu Que's attitude was too plain and natural, which made him forget that in the eyes of most people in this era, retiring an engagement is a shameful thing.

It literally said that the marriage was retired peacefully, but most people thought that Xia Jinting was kicked out because he offended the Jiang family.

With Haotai’s lessons learned, no company is willing to take the risk to hire him.

Having figured this out, Xia Jinting's hands and feet were cold, and he walked out of the store almost unconsciously, when he passed the waiting line, he suddenly heard a burst of discussion.

"Yo, isn't that Xia Jinting? He still has the face to come out!"

"It's true, it's because he was kicked out by the Jiang family for doing something scandalous, so he can't get rid of it."

"Shh, keep your voice down, and let him hear you!"

"What are you afraid of? He has done something wrong on his own. He went to Lido to steal people, and he is afraid that people will say it!"

Xia Jinting suddenly raised his eyes, and looked coldly at the commenter: "What did you say?!"

The man was arrested, and he simply tore his face: "What? If you have the guts to do it but not to admit it, didn't you get kicked out because you were discovered by the Jiang family for stealing?!"

There are too many slots in these words, Xia Jinting laughed back angrily: "Who told you?"

"It's all published in the weekly gossip magazine, what Jiang Shao said personally, can there be a lie?!" As he said that, the man threw the gossip magazine in his hand in front of Xia Jinting.

On the page is a photo of him singing in Lido. In the photo, he is wearing a chiffon shirt and has been dubbed a "stealer".The title reads brightly: "Xia Jinting steals everyone, Young Master Jiang is heartbroken and resigns."

Xia Jinting couldn't understand a single word of the whole report that was written vividly and vividly.

Fake, all fake!

No wonder Jiang Kuan issued his divorce statement so simply and neatly this time. It turned out that he had already planned his backhand and made up a story to spread rumors behind his back.

With this story of spreading rumors, everyone knew that he had offended the Jiang family, and the statement of divorce became evidence that the Jiang family cared about each other's face!

What a vicious intention!

Xia Jinting didn't know how he got home, he bought a catty of fermented rice along the way, and for the first time had the idea of ​​using wine to relieve his worries.

It was quiet in the garden villa, Xia Jinting was sitting at the dining table, drinking wine one after another.

The fermented rice is very sweet, it tastes like sugar water, but it can't relieve the pain in Xia Jinting's heart.

He was rushing to get drunk, but the more he wanted to get drunk, the clearer his mind became.

When Gu Que pushed the door and entered, what he saw was Xia Jinting shaking his wine glass.

In addition to the wine, there are pieces of paper all over the floor.

Gu Que bent down, picked up the pieces of paper one by one, and slowly pieced together the whole picture of the incident.

He frowned and took the wine glass from Xia Jinting's hand: "Enough, stop drinking."

"Not enough, I still want to drink..." Xia Jinting subconsciously grabbed the cup.

Where would Gu Que let him grab it, he dodged left and right for a while, and finally grabbed Xia Jinting's hand unbearably.

Xia Jinting struggled desperately, but Gu Que's grip was so tight that he couldn't break free.

"Use wine to drown your sorrows and worry even more, you can't solve the problem like this." Gu Que saw through Xia Jinting's thoughts at a glance.

"Mr. Gu..." Xia Jinting suddenly smiled, "I have been solving problems, but problems...still come one after another, and have never been solved. I am tired and don't want to solve them."

Gu Que saw him collapsed, stopped struggling, let go of his hand, and softened his voice: "Since you are tired, let's take a rest."

"Rest? I've rested long enough that I didn't even realize I was bitten by a dog." Xia Jinting sneered.

"If you are bitten by a dog, just beat it up." Gu Que followed Xia Jinting's words.

"It's useless!" Xia Jinting shook his head, "That dog begged for mercy with passers-by, everyone thought that I betrayed the dog."

Gu Que couldn't see Xia Jinting's depressed appearance, he supported Xia Jinting's shoulders, and said seriously: "You are so powerful, you can still be bullied by a dog? Don't give up, there is always a way."

Xia Jinting stared at Gu Que for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud, and his mood that fell to the bottom gradually improved.

He didn't want Mr. Gu to listen to his crazy words, and he didn't want Mr. Gu to accompany him in the "man and dog" drama, but Gu Que really just accompanied him to mess around.

Xia Jinting, who was on alcohol, became more and more reckless in his actions. He pointed to the shredded magazines that Gu Que put together on the table: "Have you seen it all?"

Gu Que nodded with a sullen face.

The wording of the gossip magazine was very excessive, pointing at Xia Jinting's flirtatious nature, and Jiang Kuan added fuel and jealousy as a victim, every word and every word was very heart-warming. '

Even an outsider like Gu Que was outraged when he saw the report, let alone Xia Jinting himself.

"Mr. Gu, do you believe what is written on it?" Xia Jinting asked.

"It's just nonsense." Gu Que said, "I don't believe a single word."

"But some people believed it, and many people believed it. Mr. Gu... I forgot that in this era, it is not possible to withdraw from the marriage. A man and wife who divorced deserve to be cast aside."

Gu Que said angrily: "Nonsense! If you can get engaged, you can also get divorced. Even if you are married, you can also get divorced. There is no reason to be cast aside by others."

"Mr. Gu..." Xia Jinting stared blankly at Gu Que, with a gleam in his eyes, "Your thoughts are always different from everyone else's, but it's a pity that not everyone thinks like you."

"What about you?" Gu Que asked back, "Do you regret the divorce?"

Xia Jinting shook his head resolutely: "I don't regret it!"

"Since that's the case, why bother to pay attention to the rumors outside, divorce is just a common thing, and it won't be inferior to others."

Gu Que's words gave Xia Jinting full comfort, although Xia Jinting knew that there were only a very small number of people who thought like Gu Que.

Xia Jinting at this moment only needs someone to stand up and tell him that he did nothing wrong.

And Gu Que played this role perfectly.

After getting Gu Que's firm answer, Xia Jinting felt better, the stamina of the wine came, and Xia Jinting's eyes slightly closed.

When he was about to fall asleep, he said jokingly: "From now on, I'm afraid it will be like what the gossip magazine said, no one will want to be with me anymore."

Gu Que was silent for a long time, then said softly: "Don't worry, I am willing."

It's a pity that Xia Jinting had already fallen into a deep sleep when he said those three words.

After putting the drunken person to sleep, the tenderness on Gu Que's face disappeared completely.

"Jiang Kuan..." He said the name in a deep voice.

------------

In the next few days, Xia Jinting didn't see any abnormality on his face, and ran on the interview road as usual, seeing the number of garment workshops marked with red circles decrease, and finally there was only a red cross left on the recruitment advertisement.

The turning point of the matter came quietly at such a difficult time. At first, Lido's manager Chen Shengquan came forward to clarify for Xia Jinting, saying that Xia Jinting was only singing in Lido, and did not mess with men and women.

In a place like Lido, there are gatherings of three religions and nine streams, and most of them want to curry favor with Chen Shengquan. As soon as he speaks out, someone clarifies immediately.

Thanks to Xia Jinting's cleanliness and self-respect during the resident singing period, Lido's regular customers all know the rules of summer - "I would rather drink and die on stage than take off my clothes", and they all stood up to speak for Xia Jinting.

Since then, the wind direction of public opinion has quietly reversed.

At this juncture, Feng Chengye, a new-school literati with a sharp pen, wrote an article for Xia Jinting, saying that the "man's wife resigned from marriage" was the first of its kind, and its meaning of ideological liberation was no less than the abolition of women's footbinding.

Feng Chengye is famous for his outspokenness and is extremely influential among young students. Once the article was published in the newspaper, it aroused heated discussions.Many of the young students agreed with Feng Chengye's point of view, and believed that Xia Jinting had the right to pursue his own happiness in life. For a while, Xia Jinting became the leader of freedom, and the young students expressed their support enthusiastically.

All this seemed to happen in an instant, and Jiang Kuan was caught off guard. Before Jiang Kuan could react, the direction of public opinion had turned upside down.People began to question the authenticity of Jiang Kuan's words. Some people said that Jiang Kuan wanted to destroy Xia Jinting because he couldn't win Xia Jinting's heart. Some people said that Jiang Kuan's courtship was not enough to take revenge. .

Inside Jiang's house, Jiang Kuan was so angry that he crumpled up the newspaper and threw it all over the floor.

When the phone rang, Jiang Kuan smashed the phone on the ground like crazy. The phone was broken, and Jiang Kuan was still not relieved.

He couldn't figure out how things could have turned into what they are today.

Chen Shengquan has been the manager of Lido for many years. He is the most sophisticated and tactful person. How could such a person stand up to speak for Xia Jinting? !

There is also Feng Chengye, who has always been cynical. He has been offered a high price to write an article every time, but he is stunned, and this time he has also spoken out!

The more Jiang Kuan thought about it, the more something went wrong. Xia Jinting was alone and weak, so it was definitely impossible to invite the two Buddhas, unless it was...

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Kuan's mind, and somehow he thought of the handsome and extraordinary man on the pasture that day.

Is it him?

Jiang Kuan summoned his followers and ordered them to inquire about the man's identity, but he saw Mrs. Jiang walking in with a sullen face.

"Grandpa, why are you here?!" Jiang Kuan turned into a quail when he saw Mrs. Jiang.

"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!" The old man Jiang raised his crutches and beat Jiang Kuan, "Duan Mansion called just now, why didn't you answer?!"

Jiang Kuan shrank back to avoid the beating, his face wrinkled in pain, begging for mercy: "Grandpa, I didn't know the call was from Duan Mansion, I thought it was my friend again..."

An accident happened to Jiang Kuan, and instead of sympathizing with him, a group of his bad friends called him every day to ridicule and ridicule him, so Jiang Kuan smashed the phone in a rage.

"Your wings are hardened, I can't control it anymore, hurry up tomorrow and go to the Duan mansion by yourself to make amends, if Nanduan Beigu refuses to inject capital, you and I will have to drink the northwest wind!" Old Mr. Jiang said angrily.
