Major Heavy Industry: Starting with a Fake Marriage

Chapter 2: Why Choose Her?

In this day and age, talking to a female colleague about work is just like dating. The older generation was so reserved in their speech, yet they quietly gave birth to a billion people.

Upon hearing this, Huang Deqing immediately stood up and said seriously:

"Talking about work? With whom?"

Old Huang actually cares about him a lot... Jiang Cheng thought that if his master found out he was going to marry Zheng Yanxi, he might get his legs broken today.

Huang Deqing came from a poor background, which is understandable.

Jiang Cheng considered for a moment and said, "It's not decided yet. I'll tell you when it's decided, Master Ao."

As Huang Deqing watched Jiang Cheng's departing figure, he felt uneasy.

……

Jiang Cheng was rushing out of get off work when the road was full of workers leaving together, a bustling and lively scene.

"This era is still very good and pure."

Jiang Cheng stretched and strolled leisurely to the medical station.

The factory's medical station is very small. Workers usually come here to get some medicine when they have a headache or fever, or get an IV drip if it's serious.

It was initially established to provide emergency treatment for injured workers in the factory. After all, it's a machine manufacturing plant, so injuries are inevitable. People often get their fingers caught in the machines.

As soon as Jiang Cheng arrived at the entrance of the medical station, he saw a woman rush up to him and wink at him:

"Jiang Cheng, what brings you to our medical station today?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this person was called Wang Yun, and was... the flower that the original owner of this body had been with.

The medical station is full of young girls, making it a hotbed for the original owner's womanizing. The station manager is almost banning him from the operation.

"I'm here to pick up my boyfriend."

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and then said.

"Oh dear! I haven't even agreed yet, why are you doing this...?"

Wang Yun smiled shyly, then playfully poked Jiang Cheng hard, her expression like a sow in heat: "But I like you quite a bit too. I heard the factory is now allocating apartments to newlyweds, how about we get together?"

Before she could finish speaking, Zheng Yanxi walked out of the medical station with an icy expression and handed the bag to Jiang Cheng.

Wang Yun was taken aback, then immediately turned hostile and started yelling, "Zheng Yanxi, have you no shame? Didn't you see I was talking to Jiang Cheng? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other in broad daylight?!"

"This guy's private life is really messy. Jiang Cheng, let's ignore him and go!"

Jiang Cheng ignored him and gently took the bag: "Let's go, I'll take you back to your dorm."

For a moment, the area in front of the medical station was quiet.

The reason Jiang Cheng could tease this person one day and play with that person the next at the factory wasn't entirely due to his elder status, but more so because his father gave him a handsome appearance.

He was 1.85 meters tall, fair-skinned, with neat short hair that revealed his eyebrows. He often wore a white shirt under his work clothes, and any young girl of that age would stare at him in amazement.

So Jiang Cheng was somewhat well-known in the factory, and people turned a blind eye to what he did. Who can really say for sure what happened between two willing parties?

But the problem is, the other party is Zheng Yanxi!

Nursing positions are obtained through connections!

She always has a cold face and acts like someone owes her eight million just because she's pretty!

Why did you, Jiang Cheng, have to choose Zheng Yanxi of all people?

Wang Yun couldn't accept it and started cursing:

"Jiang Cheng, are you crazy! How can you be involved with someone like that? Don't you know her situation?"

"I know."

Jiang Cheng took Zheng Yanxi's icy hand in his and said with a grin, "He's my boyfriend, the kind we're getting married to in a couple of days."

Wang Yun was stunned and backed away in disbelief.

"You, you two scoundrels..."

"Ignore her."

Jiang Cheng grabbed Zheng Yanxi's hand and left, leaving the medical station staff frozen in shock.

Good heavens!

Big news!

Jiang Cheng, the factory's playboy, is dating Zheng Yanxi!

……

The two walked hand in hand down the street, the cool autumn breeze caressing their faces, and Jiang Cheng felt only peace and comfort.

Reaching a secluded spot, Zheng Yanxi gently withdrew her hand, her face flushed.

Jiang Cheng turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"I'm not used to it yet."

Zheng Yanxi rubbed her reddened wrist and whispered, "You don't really need to do this. If you get this close to me, it's easy to get criticized."

"You mean Wang Yun? She's an idiot, just ignore her."

"no."

Zheng Yanxi shook her head and said coldly, "What I mean is, we're only husband and wife in name only, so if you like someone else, I won't stop you, as long as you do it secretly and the factory doesn't find out."

"puff!"

Jiang Cheng was drinking water when he heard this and spat it all over the wall.

"What did you say?"

Listen to this! Is this even human language? They just want to keep it a secret from the factory!

Jiang Cheng denied it, saying, "I'm married now, and I definitely won't go looking for other women. You can rest assured about that."

Zheng Yanxi didn't speak, clearly not quite believing it, probably because Jiang Chenglangzi's impression of her was too deep.

Having said all that, Jiang Cheng didn't know what to say anymore, so they could only go home.

Both of them lived in the factory dormitory, where men and women were separated into their own buildings, each with eight people per room.

The dormitory relationships are pretty good. Since there's a lack of entertainment activities, we often get together to play cards and brag. Jiang Cheng used to be the one who could brag the most, and tonight is no exception.

Jiang Cheng mingled with his coworkers with a grin, just like the original owner of this body—he loved excitement and had many friends.

At this moment, a coworker said, "Chengzi, it seems your master is still working overtime in the machine repair shop. What's going on with that new rolling mill? Our workshop is waiting to use it. The manager said it must be running by next Monday."

Jiang Cheng said, "Don't you know my master? He's a workaholic. He won't stop until he finds the problem."

Coworker: "Then why didn't you go and help?"

Jiang Cheng thought that strange noises were the most annoying thing, because they didn't necessarily mean there was a real problem. It could just be that the parts hadn't broken in properly, and all you could do was apply more lubricant.

Jiang Cheng laughed and said, "It's no use me going. The old man will just kick me out anyway."

A fellow worker said, "Your master was really unlucky to have chosen you as his apprentice!"

The next day, on the weekend, Jiang Cheng bought some pork and delivered it to Huang Deqing. The latter was pale and looked worried, clearly concerned about the steel rolling mill.

Jiang Cheng could only offer him a few words of comfort, and then, as usual, he went for a walk with Zheng Yanxi and even watched a movie for the other workers in the factory.

Zheng Yanxi maintained the same attitude, neither warm nor cold, preserving her ice queen persona.

Jiang Cheng didn't care.

When you're in a relationship, does it end up breaking up after a while?

On Monday, Jiang Cheng took half a day off to go with Zheng Yanxi to get married.
