Chapter 1110:1110 The Past Conflict
Zhu Ren felt very comfortable when he saw her frightened expression. He generously placed his half-eaten instant noodles in front of Tian Tian. “Do you want some?”
Tian Tian glanced at the bowl of instant noodles that he had bitten off and said in disgust, “No.”
Zhu Ren didn’t mind. He put the bowl of instant noodles back in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth one mouthful at a time. He finished the bowl of instant noodles in a few bites.
“Where was my story just now?” Zhu Ren thought for a moment and then said, “Oh, I remember the little boy’s work. He was already in his twenties when he started working.”
Tian Tian’s mouth twitched. She really didn’t want to hear this story, but if she dared to object, that lunatic would definitely not let her off.
“In the beginning, that man was highly regarded. This was because he was relatively young and talented, almost all the seniors in the laboratory liked working with him. They often brought him along to do experiments. From time to time, they even knew a few things about him. This allowed him to improve very quickly.
“But good times don’t last long. In his third year of work, another young man came to the laboratory. This young man was also very talented, but he didn’t want to stay in the laboratory. He always said that he wanted to be a musician and dreamed of playing music in the Golden Hall.”
Zhu Ren suddenly laughed. “Tell me, isn’t this ridiculous?”
Tian Tian still remembered what he had warned her just now, so she didn’t dare to answer him. She just looked at Zhu Ren silently.
Zhu Ren was unhappy again. His gaze became fierce. “Why aren’t you answering me? I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?”
“Didn’t you tell me not to speak?” Tian Tian’s heart trembled.
Zhu Ren clenched his fists and said, “I told you not to interrupt me. I didn’t tell you not to speak. When I ask you a question, you have to answer me!”
Tian Tian thought to herself that this psychopath was too difficult to please. First, he didn’t want her to talk and now he’s blaming her for not answering him? She wasn’t a worm in his stomach, so how could she know what he was thinking?
However, she did not dare to say these words to Zhu Ren. Her right cheek was still hurting, and she could not be beaten again.
“Yes, you’re right. You haven’t finished your story yet. Are you going to tell it or not?” Tian Tian answered perfunctorily.
Zhu Ren obviously wanted to finish the story. He continued, “The newcomer is highly regarded by the higher-ups. Every time there’s a new task, it’s given to the newcomer. This makes the man feel uncomfortable. He’s always competing with that newcomer and trying to do better than that person.
“But the newcomer was too outstanding. No matter how hard that man tries, he can’t catch up to the newcomer. However, that newcomer didn’t put his mind on doing experiments. He still wanted to be a musician. Every time he took a break, he would hold his guitar and play in the park, attracting a lot of people to listen to his music.
“Gradually, the man’s honor was snatched away by that newcomer, but the newcomer didn’t know how to cherish it. He didn’t like this place, and he didn’t want to stay here. If he had the chance, he would leave without hesitation.”
“Guess who the man in the story is?” Zhu Ren asked after finishing his story. “And who is the newcomer?”
Tian Tian knew who these two people were. The man who appeared in front was definitely Zhu Ren, and the newcomer who came later was definitely Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi’s arrival stole the glory that originally belonged to Zhu Ren, so Zhu Ren hated him.
However, she couldn’t understand why Zhu Ren was still looking for trouble with Tao Zhi when he had already left the laboratory.
“Alt Zhi has already left your laboratory and will never return, so you don’t have to worry about him wanting to take the honor that belongs to you anymore.” Tian Tian said, “I don’t think there’s any conflict between the two of you at all. There’s no need for this to happen. If you let me go, I’ll definitely talk to Ah Zhi and ask him not to have any more conflicts with you. You two can reconcile.”
The thought was very naive, but reality was very cruel. “It’s impossible. We won’t reconcile. I was the one who caused Tao Zhi to leave the laboratory, but I did it to help him..”
