TSMVHATRM Chapter 100

Time Space: the Male Villain Has the Ability To Read Minds Chapter 100: Pei Zhiwen Gets Promoted!

A few days later, Pei Tiantian heard that Song Shuyun had been fired from the factory for having an affair with Zhang Jianye.

Song Shuyun’s husband even came back in person, demanding a divorce.

Since marrying Tang Yongjun five years ago, Song Shuyun had been cursed by Old Lady Deng for years as a barren hen. But as soon as she got together with Zhang Jianye, she became pregnant.

So Song Shuyun, in a fit of despair, publicly declared in front of the whole village that Tang Yongjun was infertile and a useless man.

The Song family also claimed that it was because of Tang Yongjun’s infertility that Song Shuyun had cheated on him.

This enraged Old Lady Deng, who led Tang Yongjun’s family to the Song family’s house, where they fought, creating a chaotic scene.

It was only after Liu Changlong called several police officers to intervene and stop the fight that the two families were able to separate.

However, Liu Changlong was kicked several times in the stomach and legs, reportedly leaving bruises, and he had to apply mercurochrome to them when he got home.

Hearing this, Pei Tiantian felt deep sympathy for Liu Changlong.

He was always among the ones accidentally injured in village fights.

Since Zhang Jianye was fired, Pei Zhiwen had also received notice that the factory manager was transferring him back.

Pei Zhiwen was currently completing his handover work.

During a break, Pei Zhiwen went to a large tree outside the warehouse and took out a cigarette.

Suddenly, Pei Zhiwen noticed that Gu Yongfu’s gloomy gaze was fixed on him.

Pei Zhiwen felt slightly uneasy.

Seeing Pei Zhiwen looking at him, Gu Yongfu quickly looked away and hurriedly left.

Pei Zhiwen extinguished his cigarette.

When it was time to leave work that evening, Pei Zhiwen was the last to leave.

He went to the changing room to change out of his work clothes.

At this moment, Pei Zhiwen saw the pair of trousers Gu Yongfu had hung on the door; there seemed to be something bulging in the pocket.

He unconsciously walked over and rummaged through it.

Pei Zhiwen’s eyes widened in confusion.

It was a pack of Hongmei cigarettes.

Pei Zhiwen was very familiar with it, as it was his favorite brand.

Pei Zhiwen’s eyes darted around.

As far as he knew, Gu Yongfu had never smoked this brand.

Pei Zhiwen opened the cigarette pack and found it empty; there were no cigarettes inside.

Pei Zhiwen was even more puzzled. Why would Gu Yongfu leave an empty cigarette pack in his pocket?

Pei Zhiwen examined the pack and noticed some familiar markings.

A guess gradually formed in Pei Zhiwen’s mind.

Could this cigarette pack be the one he usually threw away after smoking?

Why would Gu Yongfu pick it up?

Pei Zhiwen was still completely confused.

He put the cigarette pack back in Gu Yongfu’s pocket, then went outside and checked all the doors to make sure they were locked, as usual.

Just as he was about to leave, the “No Smoking” sign on the warehouse wall struck him like a hammer, snapping him out of his daze.

Did Gu Yongfu intend to burn down the warehouse and frame him?

He was taking all the blame for Zhang Jianye’s dismissal.

So, he planned to get revenge on Zhang Jianye?

Pei Zhiwen found this speculation somewhat amusing, but then he remembered the empty cigarette box.

His laughter vanished.

He felt he was on the verge of uncovering the truth.

Gu Yongfu might very well have this intention.

Pei Zhiwen hurriedly returned to his office and pulled out the duty roster.

The day after tomorrow was the day he and Gu Yongfu were on duty together.

If Gu Yongfu was planning something, this was the perfect opportunity.

The next day, Pei Zhiwen told the factory manager he wanted to show his old clients the goods in the warehouse ahead of schedule.

The factory manager, assuming Pei Zhiwen had some new plans, quickly approved it.

Pei Zhiwen then arranged with the clients for the following evening after dinner.

So, in the evening, Pei Zhiwen went to pick up the clients, deliberately telling Gu Yongfu he had some personal business to attend to and would be back late for his shift.

Gu Yongfu, without any suspicion, slipped in alone after Pei Zhiwen left, just as he was about to light a fire.

Pei Zhiwen, along with several clients, walked into the warehouse, chatting and laughing.

They happened to see Gu Yongfu holding a match, preparing to set fire to the cardboard boxes.

Pei Zhiwen immediately shouted, “Gu Yongfu, what are you doing!”

Gu Yongfu turned around and saw Pei Zhiwen walking with several men in suits; his face immediately changed, and the match fell from his hand, igniting the cardboard boxes underneath.

Pei Zhiwen quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher from outside and put out the small fire.

Gu Yongfu, realizing he’d been caught, tried to escape, but was blocked at the door by the customers.

One of them went outside to call security to arrest him.

Gu Yongfu was terrified, realizing how foolish his sudden thought had been.

But it was too late for regrets.

Soon, several security guards arrived and arrested Gu Yongfu, who had deliberately set the fire, and handed him over to the police station.

Pei Zhiwen, for his timely intervention in stopping Gu Yongfu’s arson and saving the goods in the room, was rewarded.

He was promoted from workshop foreman to production manager.

Gu Yongfu, on the other hand, was not only fired from the factory but also faced imprisonment for arson, ultimately receiving a two-year sentence.

The Pei family was overjoyed at Pei Zhiwen’s promotion.

At this time, to avoid worrying his family, Pei Zhiwen didn’t tell them the inside story of his promotion.

The day Pei Tiantian learned that Gu Yongfu had been sentenced, she was not only in high spirits all day, but also had a smile on her face the entire time.

Heaven had eyes; Gu Yongfu finally got what he deserved.

She could finally rest easy.

Pei Zhiwen wouldn’t be laid off again, and he wouldn’t have gone into business to make money and been swindled out of all his savings.

“Brother Gu Rong, your heartless uncle got arrested!”

Pei Tiantian couldn’t help but poke Gu Rong’s arm with her chubby little hand.

Gu Rong turned his head expressionlessly and wrote, “I know, this is the tenth time you’ve said it today.”

“You should be happy too, right? He even tried to sell you before, and now his retribution has come,”

Gu Rong said, pursing his lips.

Gu Yongfu and Zhang Guifen were no longer important to him. Even if they were dead, let alone in jail, he wouldn’t bat an eye.

However, meeting Pei Tiantian’s bright, grape-like eyes, Gu Rong ultimately didn’t disappoint her and reluctantly wrote a “Mm.”

When Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong went to Xie Jiagui’s restaurant, they received more good news.

Xie Jiagui had made up his mind to expand his restaurant business to the city.

Although opening a restaurant in the city meant giving up his current customer base and essentially starting a business from scratch,

Xie Jiagui had been constantly thinking about Pei Tiantian’s words these past few days.

He realized that he had indeed lived too conventionally in his life. Why not give it his all for his and his family’s future?

Xie Jiagui had already decided that from November until next spring, he would officially relocate the restaurant to the city.
