Chapter 395: Is That Your Girlfriend?

When Li Zhao heard what Gu Zhen said, he immediately looked away.

He shot Gu Zhen a sidelong glance. "Just eat your food."

The moment Gu Zhen heard this, he knew what his Brother Li meant.

He immediately buried his head and started eating.

Still, he was quite curious. ’Who exactly is that girl from the train?’

’Wait, isn’t that man next to her Xu Ming?’

He quickly looked up, glancing back toward the food line. After getting a clear look at the man’s face, he exclaimed in shock, "Brother Li, isn’t that Xu Ming?"

Li Zhao had already seen him.

’So what?’

He paid no more attention to the shocked Gu Zhen.

But Gu Zhen, having finally spotted Xu Ming, naturally had to wave him over. "Xu Ming, over here!"

Xu Ming, who had just finished getting his food, suddenly heard someone call his name.

He turned his head subconsciously.

When he saw Gu Zhen waving at him, his eyes lit up—he hadn’t expected to see a familiar face.

"Group Leader Fu, let’s go sit over there."

Fu Mingxue didn’t have any particular opinion on where to sit.

If possible, she would have preferred to sit by herself.

But Chang Qingze was with them.

So the three of them carried their respective lunch boxes toward the empty seats.

"Xu Ming, I really didn’t expect to see you here, man."

Xu Ming was also happy to see an old acquaintance. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Li Zhao, long time no see!"

Hearing his name, Li Zhao naturally looked up. "Long time no see," he said coolly.

His gaze then shifted to Fu Mingxue.

Just as Fu Mingxue also looked at him.

Truthfully, Fu Mingxue had also been quite surprised to see the two men.

She had thought that after getting off the train, it would be unlikely they’d ever meet again. What a coincidence.

At that moment, the more outgoing Gu Zhen greeted Fu Mingxue.

"Comrade, I didn’t expect we’d meet at this factory. What a coincidence."

Fu Mingxue smiled. "It is quite a coincidence."

Seeing this, Xu Ming couldn’t help but ask, puzzled, "What, you know each other?"

Fu Mingxue answered first. "We were just in the same train car on the way back. Let’s eat first!"

She wasn’t familiar with them at all. On the train, their only interaction had been swapping bunks.

’No need to keep chatting here.’

Xu Ming had wanted to ask more, but since Group Leader Fu said to eat, he had to suppress his curiosity.

’Anyway, I can just ask that guy Gu Zhen later.’

The three of them sat down.

Because there were outsiders present, Vice Group Leader Chang, who had originally wanted to discuss some issues with Fu Mingxue, kept his mouth shut and focused on his food.

Fu Mingxue, of course, was more than happy not to talk.

’What if they spray spittle into my food while talking and eating?’

Meanwhile, Xu Ming and Gu Zhen were clearly the talkative types.

The two of them chatted away enthusiastically.

Fortunately, she was sitting a couple of spots away from the two of them.

She was sitting opposite Vice Group Leader Chang.

By the end of the meal, Fu Mingxue swore to herself—from now on, under any circumstances, unless it was a full group dinner...

...she would never eat with this Xu Ming ever again.

He was simply too loud.

The two of them left as soon as they finished eating.

They didn’t wait for Xu Ming.

After all, the guy had been talking nonstop, so he was a slow eater.

As soon as Fu Mingxue and Vice Group Leader Chang left,

the remaining Gu Zhen immediately asked Xu Ming, "Who was that girl just now? Is she your girlfriend?"

It wasn’t that he was jumping to conclusions; he had just never seen Xu Ming eat with a girl before.

Of course, because he wasn’t sure, he asked this in a hushed voice.

Meanwhile, Li Zhao, who hadn’t left either, couldn’t help but look at Xu Ming when he heard the question.

Xu Ming immediately glared at Gu Zhen.

"Don’t talk nonsense! That’s the leader of our Group Six. Besides, she’s already married."

As he said that last part, his tone unconsciously took on a sour note.
