Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 216: Fleeing

It was still fine when the fourth period started, but now it's pouring. It's really pouring. Standing on the teaching building, I can't even see the school gate clearly. By the way, if I remember correctly, the Yangtze River will burst its banks and cause a major flood this year. It seems that there will be many more similar heavy rains in the future.

It is a little cooler, but on a rainy day like this, an umbrella can only cover the upper body. After walking a short distance, the trouser legs are soaked through.

Feng Yiping hurriedly greeted the guard and, as usual, looked up and glanced at the convenience store across the street. The rain was too heavy to see clearly.

The wind and rain were fierce, the street trees bent under the wind, the cars on the road had their headlights on. The hardest thing was the pedestrians who were still cycling in such weather. Watching them struggle to cycle against the wind while bending down on the flooded road, he really felt that it would be better to walk.

In the intervals of the wind and rain, he vaguely heard someone shouting his name. After looking around, he found a girl waving at him in front of the convenience store. He looked closely and realised it was Huang Jingping.

It took him more than ten minutes to get his bike around to the front of the convenience store. Huang Jingping was saying goodbye to the girl behind the cash register. 'Thanks!'

'When did you get here? How did you end up here?'

'I arrived a little after three. I waited for a while at the entrance to your school, but the guard looked at me strangely, so I happened to see this shop and waited here for you.' Huang Jingping took his hand.

'That's almost two hours. Why didn't you ask the janitor to let me know when class was over?'

'You said your school had strict rules. I didn't have anything to do anyway, so it was fine to wait.'

Feng Yiping asked about sales. It was only just over 600 yuan, but there should be more sales in the evening. 'You've worked hard! It's raining, so mop the floor more often,' he said to the two employees in the store, looking at the wet footprints he had left on the tiled floor.

'And this,' said the cashier, pushing out Huang Jingping's suitcase from behind the counter. Feng Yiping lifted it, and it was quite heavy. Was this the pace for a few more days?

'Is this Feng Yiping's girlfriend?' the boy in the shop asked the cashier while mopping the floor.

The cashier kept watching them get into the car, and his eyes had not returned yet. He said with some envy, 'I think so!'

Feng Yiping noticed that after Huang Jingping got in the car, she seemed much more at ease, and she made a lot of requests. She even asked him to help her fasten her seat belt, and then kept tilting her head to look at him.

'Which school have you been assigned to?'

'Fangjiaping Primary School,' Huang Jingping replied, stopping short of saying anything else.

'Oh, that's a good place. You can just live at home.'

'Hm,' Huang Jingping turned her head and looked out the window, not knowing what kind of state her parents were in at home right now.

When they arrived home, Feng Yiping took the suitcase to the guest room, opened the cupboard and handed her the bed sheets and covers, saying, 'No one has stayed in the guest room since you left last time, and these are your things.'

Feng Yiping also offered to help with the cleaning, but Huang Jingping pushed him out, saying, 'I can do it, you go and change out of those wet clothes, don't catch a cold.'

After taking a shower, Feng Yiping dried his hair with a towel and walked to the door of the guest room. He saw that the bed hadn't been made yet, and Huang Jingping was putting the clothes away in the closet one by one. For some reason, her face didn't look as happy as it had just then. Since they had met this time, she felt a little different somehow.

'I'd better help you make the bed first. These clothes have been in the closet for a while, so they can air out a bit,'

He handed the other end of the sheet to Huang Jingping, but she threw herself straight into his arms and burst into tears. 'I lied to my parents and didn't go to the school to complete the formalities at all. In the morning, I left a letter for my parents and ran to you. I don't care if I lose my job and get scolded by my parents, but I can't live without you.'

This was the first time Huang Jingping had been so bold as to tell Feng Yiping what was in her heart, but the scene as it was being said made it sound a little tragic.

Feng Yiping didn't care about the bed sheet, he took her in his arms, patted her back gently to comfort her, but his eyes were looking out the window, unable to say a word.

She was such a well-behaved and obedient girl, and for his sake, she ran away from home without a care in the world. How could he not be moved? This was not just love between a man and a woman, but also an unreserved trust that Feng Yiping would definitely give her a bright future.

'Drink some water, calm down, and tell me everything from the beginning,' Feng Yiping said, helping her onto the sofa.

'I didn't want to be so far away from you, so I didn't plan to teach at the school. I thought about looking for a job in the city, but I was afraid my parents wouldn't agree, so I lied to them and said I had already gone through the formalities at the school. Before I left today, I lied to them again and said I was going to the provincial capital with my classmates to have some fun.' As Huang Jingping spoke, she began to cry again.

Feng Yiping handed her some tissue paper. 'So, do your parents know now?'

'They must know, I left them a letter.'

This is a tricky situation! It's easy to call her parents and tell them, but it's not easy to explain everything. Her parents might come and take her back tomorrow, and there's bound to be conflict between her and her family. This is not the right way to handle this, Feng Yiping shook his head.

It would be easiest to send Huang Jingping home right away, but how could he bear to see Huang Jingping, full of guilt and crying on the sofa like a weeping willow?

While informing her parents of the news, he also had to calm them down. The matter could only be resolved when both sides had calmed down.

'Wait for me a moment, I'll make a phone call.' He looked at the time, and it was possible that work hadn't finished yet in the provincial capital.

Sure enough, Gao Zhiyi was still in the office. 'Brother Feng, on behalf of the company, send a letter of employment to a Ms Huang Jingping, hiring her as a training instructor for the company's human resources department. She will be involved in the training of the 50 trainees at the county vocational school. Yes, do it right away, and bring her here by shuttle bus tomorrow morning.'

Huang Jingping's eyes were red, and she was standing in the doorway holding a tissue. 'What letter of employment? What am I going to do at the vocational school?'

Feng Yiping pushed her down into a chair, looked her in the eye and said, 'You're going to call your parents right now and tell them that through my introduction, you've found a job in the personnel department of a company in the provincial capital. You're currently responsible for pre-job training for the company's new employees. Your workplace for the next two months will be at our county vocational school. You'll be paid 1,000 yuan a month. Also, give Zhang Qiuling a call and ask her to come over and visit tomorrow, so that your parents will feel more at ease.'

Huang Jingping nodded with red eyes, 'Say something nice, first apologise to your parents, I'll wait for you outside.' Feng Yiping exited the study and gently closed the door.

Zhang Qiuling knew what would happen today and was very worried about Huang Jingping. If this became a big deal, it wouldn't be good for Huang Jingping.

So she stayed in the courtyard the whole time, becoming a volunteer operator. Just after six, almost the time Feng Yiping and Huang Jingping would be home, she also received a call from Huang Chengzhong.

'What? Jingping's gone?' She pretended to know nothing and asked over the phone, "What did the letter say?'

After listening to them read the letter, "Then you and Auntie don't need to worry, I know where she went.'

Huang Chengzhong was overjoyed, looked at his wife, and said loudly, "Really, where did she go?" His wife came over and leaned over the phone, and then asked at the same time, 'Feng Yiping's house?'

'Do you know the address? Do you have the phone number there?'

Zhang Qiuling was also a little anxious. If Huang Jingping's parents went to their door and asked questions like this, they would definitely be doing more harm than good. She hurriedly said, 'Uncle, don't worry,' and then tactfully explained the situation with Huang Jingping and Feng Yiping. Huang Chengzhong sighed with regret when he heard it. He had also asked his daughter what had happened with Feng Yiping, but she had been rather vague about it. It seemed that his daughter had been the one pursuing the guy.

'Why are you hanging up?'

'Jingping should be calling soon, and Qiuling will be coming over in the morning.'

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang. Huang's mother answered it first, 'Is that Jingping?'

Jingping cried out, 'Mom,'

'Are you okay? Are you all right? Where are you?'

After hanging up, Huang's mother asked Huang Chengzhong, 'Are you going tomorrow?'

Huang Chengzhong leaned against the counter, not knowing what to think. He heard her words and rubbed his hands over his face a few times. 'Go and do what? Tie her up and bring her back? She said she wanted Qiu Ling to go and play tomorrow. I'll call the second child and tell him to ask Jing Shu to take two days off and go to the city to see what's going on.'

'Will that work? Are you sure she's okay staying at someone else's house?'

'What's there to worry about? What could possibly happen? Besides, it's not a bad thing. It's better than being assigned to teach elementary school students. Now she trains technical secondary school and vocational school graduates directly, and the salary is higher. Her monthly salary is more than what I make in two months.'

Huang Chengzhong said, and then thought of Feng Yiping, who he had only met a few times but had made a deep impression on him.
