Chapter 1489: Their Eyes Met
Some time ago, a few villagers from the fishing village had gone out to the sea to fish and had encountered a huge storm. When they were on their way back, there had been a problem with the engine and the fishing boat flipped into the sea, leaving one dead and two injured.
The town’s leader had then inspected the villagers’ fishing boats and found that most of the fishing boats had reached the end of their lifespan. As such, he had given them a sum of money and asked the fishermen to change their fishing boats.
The Gu family also wanted to buy a new fishing boat. Originally, Father Gu had wanted to go to the boat factory in town with the village head, but he had caught a cold, and asked Gu Meng to go instead.
In the past three years, Gu Meng had become the main labor force of the Gu family. She was young and capable. When she went out to sea, the number of fish she caught was several times more than Father Gu. Thus, when she went to high school, Mrs Gu did not say anything.
Mrs Gu was originally worried about letting Gu Meng go to buy the fishing boat, but Gu Meng insisted on going and with Mr Gu as her guarantor, Mrs Gu reluctantly agreed.
When Gu Meng went out, Mrs Gu told her again and again, “Listen to the village head and the rest outside. Don’t cause trouble for the family!”
The shipyard in town had been developing well in recent years. Apparently, they had recruited a very capable engineer who knew how to develop the engine independently.
The shipyard did not have this technology in the past. In fact, there were not many companies in the country that could develop it on their own.
Gu Meng was a little curious where the shipyard owner had recruited such a genius.
The leader of the shipyard knew that the fishing village was going to buy a new batch of fishing boats and sent a sales manager to receive them.
When they arrived at the factory, Gu Meng followed behind the village head.
After looking through the fishing boats, the supervisor brought them to his office.
Gu Meng drank a cup of tea and wanted to go to the washroom. After informing the village head, Gu Meng walked out of the office.
After going to the washroom, Gu Meng was about to return to the supervisor’s office when she suddenly saw a tall and thin figure from the corner of her eye.
He looked vaguely familiar.
Gu Meng followed him.
It was almost noon and the shipyard staff were having lunch.
Several workers were squatting outside the factory to eat.
Gu Meng saw the man, who had disappeared for three years, from afar. He was wearing a dark blue worker’s uniform like the other workers, with a hat on his head. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his tanned arms.
He was holding a stainless steel bowl, leaning against the wall alone. He was like a tall pine tree, with a kind of aloofness and arrogance that was unique to the world.
Anger appeared on Gu Meng’s face.
She was his savior, after all. He was really too much to leave without saying anything.
She was about to go forward to settle the score with him when a figure suddenly barged into her sight.
The woman was wearing a dress that outlined her beautiful figure perfectly. She was wearing high heels and was carrying a thermos flask in her hand. She bounced in front of the man and the other workers started to shout.
“Miss Shen, are you here to give Nameless another meal?”
“Miss Shen, what delicious food did you make today?”
Shen Yuan walked in front of Ye Qing, looking up with a gentle and feminine face. “Nameless, I made brisket today. Try it.”
Gu Meng saw that the man who was eating with his head lowered looked up and glanced at the woman in front of him. He seemed to have noticed something and turned back.
Gu Meng’s bright and clear eyes met with his dark and narrow ones.
Their eyes met.
Gu Meng saw his well-defined face under the hat, his sharp facial features, and the deep scar on half of his face.
Although those scars affected his originally outstanding appearance, it did not seem to affect his charm.
Otherwise, why would he let Miss Shen treat him differently?
The man’s eyes were as deep as the endless sea, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Gu Meng was the first to look away. She smirked, before she turned around and left.
Three years ago, after he left silently, he had even made her worry for a period of time, afraid that his body would have some after effects, or that he would starve to death in some corner.
She did not expect him to be doing well. He worked in the shipyard and was surrounded by beautiful women.
However, it was fine as long as he was doing well.
The original intention of saving him was to let him live well!
Gu Meng’s emotions came and went quickly.
She walked toward the supervisor’s office. Along the way, she saw a young man wearing a flowery shirt with two lackeys behind him.
The young man, Jiang Chao, was the son of the shipyard owner. He did many immoral things because of his family’s wealth.
Usually, what he liked to do the most was to play with young girls. If a girl was unwilling, he would use all kinds of despicable methods.
Gu Meng lowered her head, planning to take a detour.
But the young man saw Gu Meng.
Gu Meng had graduated from high school and was at the age where she was slender and pretty like a flower. Her skin was naturally not tanned and was as fair and smooth as a peeled egg. Her face was full of vitality, her lips red, and teeth white, giving people a feeling of exquisite beauty.
To be honest, she was the prettiest girl that Jiang Chao had seen so far.
The moment he saw her, he felt a strong desire.
He wanted her.
…
The village head had not managed to negotiate the price with the supervisor in the morning. They had lunch in the afternoon and continued to negotiate the price in the afternoon.
Jiang Chao asked his men to find out why Gu Meng came to the shipyard. He went to the supervisor’s office personally and sold the 20 fishing boats to their fishing village at the most favorable price according to the price offered by the village head.
Then, he treated them to dinner.
…
When it was time to get off work, the man planned to leave.
It had been almost three years since he came to this factory, but he still could not remember who he was. His mind was still blank about the past.
He could not even remember his name. When he had first come to work in the factory, the foreman asked him for his name and he said ‘Nameless’.
The foreman thought that his name was Nameless.
For the past three years, everyone had called him Nameless.
To him, it did not matter what he was called. After all, he was just a person who could not even remember his name.
He was an engine research and development engineer here. He did not know about this at first, but after looking at the blueprints and thinking about it for a month or two, he had managed to develop it on his own.
Although he had no memories, he was able to learn everything very quickly. He must have been a very learned person before he lost his memories and must have been very knowledgeable.
In the changing room, he took off his uniform.
There were several workers in the changing room, and the words of two of them caught his attention.
“When I got off work, I heard Young Master Jiang’s subordinate calling to ask someone to get him the medicine from last time. Young Master Jiang wants to use it tonight.”
“Young Master Jiang must have played with too many women and has a weak kidney. I wonder who he likes this time?”
“Didn’t a pretty girl come to the factory today? I think Young Master Jiang…”
“Hey, lower your voice. If Young Master Jiang finds out about us talking about him behind his back, he will definitely make us suffer.”
The man, who had taken off his uniform halfway, heard their conversation and his cold and sharp facial features tensed up.
