After dinner, the two of them cuddled together to listen to the radio. This radio wasn’t Jiang Xinyu’s; it was brought back by Wei Kaiyun.
"Honey, tomorrow is the Laba Festival. Shall we go out and have so fun?"
"Sure, let’s go to the city. How about peeling so garlic later? We need to make Laba garlic."
"I don’t like that taste. Do you like it?"
Jiang Xinyu shook her head. "I don’t like it either, so let’s skip it.
Wei Kaiyun, in your dream, when did you go to prison?"
"At the end of next year."
"Can I know what you dread about?"
"It’s intermittent, but there are many scenes involving Kong ngjie, and so work-related matters.
I know that after I went in, Kong ngjie beca the factory manager."
"What about Qian Jun?"
"He’s still the secretary to the factory manager."
"Can you still dream about things after you went in?"
Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "No, it’s always these few scenes."
"So, is it possible for Kong ngjie to beco the factory manager?"
Wei Kaiyun sneered, "I had problems at work, that’s why I went in. How she got the position, I don’t know, but now that I’m gone, it’s impossible for her to beco the director, right?"
"Was it an issue at the textile factory, or was it outside?"
"Outside. Honey, are you very wary of Kong ngjie?"
"Yes, I told you, I can read faces, and Kong ngjie is definitely not a simple person.
My biggest worry is that you might be affected."
"Honey, don’t worry, I have it all arranged. Otherwise, you could marry next year. It’s just that I have to be careful, so we can’t be together openly. Give so ti, I need to get through this hurdle."
"What about Shen Xueqi? Does your situation have anything to do with him? Otherwise, why did you dream about him?"
Wei Kaiyun fell into deep thought; he hadn’t noticed this detail.
If Shen Xueqi is involved, then it just suggests that the people above him are against the people above .
In the dream, was it about taking down to change the ga up there?
When Wei Kaiyun thought of this, a cold sweat broke out. He was too limited in thinking. How could a grassroots woman have the power to beco the factory manager? In the future, he shouldn’t focus solely on her.
"Honey, tomorrow I’ll go see Shen Xueqi, do you want to et him?"
"Wouldn’t that be bad for you?" Actually, she was quite curious to et the protagonist.
"It’s fine, tomorrow you just enjoy yourself at the club, I’ll bring him over, an unplanned eting won’t be a problem."
"Okay, let’s do that. I am really curious about the man who will be her future husband."
"I won’t let them be together."
"Why not?"
"I’m petty. Even if it’s just a dream, I hold grudges, I want Kong ngjie to marry Huang Hongwei. Let them stay at their current positions.
Honey, I’m on a long vacation this ti, I want to resolve this."
"But I think Kong ngjie and Shen Xueqi have already t."
"What difference does it make? If sothing happens, it’s just a chance to take care of Shen Xueqi as well."
Jiang Xinyu never ddled in Wei Kaiyun’s external affairs, so she just quietly sat aside sewing autumn clothes, giving him the peaceful space to think things through.
All afternoon, Wei Kaiyun was quite calm. Who knows what he thought of?
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the two of them took the first bus to the city.
"With the introduction letter, you can directly enter the club."
"Got it, I understand, I won’t go right now, I want to walk around first."
"Okay, I’ll go find Shen Xueqi, and bring him over for you to see."
"Yeah, I just want to know what kind of person Shen Xueqi is."
Jiang Xinyu got off at the building, went straight inside, and it was the Laba Festival, so the building was bustling with people as they entered the twelfth lunar month.
She looked at each counter among the crowd. She really lacked no side dishes; with the premise of going abroad, there was nothing she really needed to buy.
However, Jiang Xinyu just loved this kind of atmosphere. In the end, she only bought matches, candles, a few packs of Golden Leaf cigarettes; Wei Kaiyun smoked, though rarely in front of her.
She didn’t buy any liquor; Lv Beiguang said he’d give her a few bottles.
She bought a few bags of snacks, saved them for usual nibbles. With butter and cream in space, she’d make him bread and cakes when there’s ti.
The second floor looped around and bought ten reams of letter paper, and two fountain pens.
Checking the ti, it was about right, she left the building. She’d need to walk three stops to the club, but she wasn’t in a hurry, so she decided to walk.
She showed the introduction letter and went in easily.
The club was three stories; the ground floor was like a hall, providing space for everyone to socialize, holding luncheons and banquets.
As Jiang Xinyu entered, she heard Wei Kaiyun calling her na.
"Director Jiang, Director Jiang."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and walked over. "Director Wei? How do you have ti to co back?"
"On holiday, ca back to see old friends. Director Jiang, what brings you here?"
"Nothing, I’m also on holiday, ca to the city to look around. Heard about the club from colleagues, ca to check it out."
"Director Jiang, care to join us?"
"Wouldn’t I be interrupting?"
"Co, let introduce you, this is my friend Shen Xueqi, he works at the public security bureau.
Xueqi, this is the textile factory’s office director, Jiang Xinyu."
Shen Xueqi stood up, and they shook hands. Shen Xueqi suddenly felt a tingle spread from his hand to his entire body, and he squinted at Jiang Xinyu.
The two sat down, "Director Jiang, what would you like to drink? Is tea okay?"
"Director Wei, no formalities, I’ll help myself." Jiang Xinyu just poured a cup of hot water and held it in her hands.
"Director Jiang, you are truly outstanding at such a young age. I knew of your achievents but never had the chance to et you. It’s an honor to see you this ti."
Jiang Xinyu smiled, "Mr. Shen, you are too kind."
"No empty words, I’m sincere. To beco a director before turning twenty is unheard of."
"Please don’t flatter , I’m embarrassed." Jiang Xinyu was rather disappointed with Shen Xueqi. She thought he would be soone significant, but after eting, felt he was just average.
Though he’s good-looking, why couldn’t she sense his righteousness but instead felt gloominess?
"Haha, in the future if Director Jiang cos to the city, I must play the host."
"Too kind, Director Wei, Mr. Shen, I won’t keep you, I’ll go upstairs and have a look, haven’t been here before."
"Join us for lunch?" Wei Kaiyun asked.
"No, I plan to head back early this afternoon."
"It won’t delay lunch, it’s on . Please join us, Director Jiang."
"Alright, thank you both, you guys chat, I’ll go look around."
Shen Xueqi watched Jiang Xinyu’s departing figure thoughtfully. "Kaiyun, was Director Jiang forrly your secretary?"
"Yes, a bold young girl, quite capable. I even thought of taking her with to the Provincial City, but she didn’t want to go. Didn’t expect she’d beco a director."
