That girl dared to go out like that; she’s really foolish. Wei Kaiyun closed his eyes. What should I do?
Jiang Xinyu returned to the textile factory and was imdiately called over by Qian Jun before entering the office.
"Director Wei just called. Jiang Xinyu, you should go work at the Managent Bureau."
Jiang Xinyu gave a bitter smile, "Now it’s a ride-and-die situation. I can’t leave, and if I go, wouldn’t I be risking my life there?"
"Are you really sure about this decision?"
"Yes, I’ve decided."
"We’re preparing twenty thousand this ti. If we can’t get it back, we might as well give up."
"Yes, the risk is too high. I’ll try my best, but if it truly doesn’t work out, then loss is inevitable.
Mr. Qian, do you think this is a case of ’the brave ones take the risk while the timid ones starve’?"
Both fell silent, and after sitting for a while, Jiang Xinyu returned to her office. She took out a book to continue reading, planning to visit the school soti tomorrow since she would miss the midterm exams. She decided to speak with Principal Wang.
The phone on her desk rang, Jiang Xinyu just watched it ring and eventually answered it.
"Hello!"
"Xinyu, why did you make this decision?"
"Because now refusing won’t make a difference. Tao Juncheng told he’s also taking a gamble. Shen Xueqi won’t agree."
"Honey, I can protect you."
"And at the cost of involving you?"
Both fell silent again. "Xinyu, it’s really dangerous over there."
"Not necessarily. If things don’t look good, I’ll give up. Nothing matters more than staying alive.
Okay, don’t worry. It might not even happen."
"I wanted to accompany you but was rejected from above."
"You don’t need to. I can manage. Alright, let it go. I’ve been trying to adjust my mindset these past few days."
"I’m heading out now, to co to you."
"Don’t do that. Wait for to return. I’ll definitely make it back."
Jiang Xinyu put down the phone, feeling exhausted.
She made herself a cup of milk powder, sipping slowly, suddenly feeling less tense.
After finishing, she went to the workshop to find Wang Ailing. "Sis, why don’t you co to my house tomorrow? Let’s have a al together. Also, She Xiaoyun’s boyfriend will join us tomorrow."
"Xinyu."
"It’s alright. I’ll cook and wait for you all at ho tomorrow. Let’s have a good al."
"Okay, we’ll co over tomorrow."
After work, she went straight ho. Even though the temperature at night was below zero, she decided to take a bath to relieve fatigue.
Maybe because of the nerves, she kept having nightmares all night and felt tired in the morning.
Holding the quilt, she sat on the kang, chuckling to herself. What am I afraid of? If I didn’t start it myself, would this be the result? The seeds I sowed — no matter what flavor they bring — are mine to taste.
She got up and started tidying up at ho. Guests were coming today, she’d prepare red braised pork, beef in sauce, sausages, vermicelli with sauerkraut, scrambled eggs, and sweet and sour shredded radish.
There weren’t many varieties, but the quantity increased. Everything was served in large bowls. She prepared a big bowl of rice, which seed insufficient, so she stead over ten additional stead buns. By half-past ten in the morning, all the dishes were ready, and the rice was simring in the pot.
She heard a knock on the door and wondered who it could be.
"Co in, Sister She, and this comrade."
"Xinyu, sorry to disturb you. Here’s so candy for you to keep on your car."
"Thanks, don’t be so polite."
Before Jiang Xinyu could close the door, Wang Ailing and the others arrived. However, this gentleman looked quite good; this sister really seems to have an appreciation for good looks.
Wang Ailing and She Xiaoyun greeted, "Xinyu, Sister She, this is my friend, Chen Guoliang.
This is my friend Jiang Xinyu, and this is She Xiaoyun."
Everyone nodded and smiled; she had a good impression of this gentleman.
"Ailing, Xinyu, this is my friend Wang Tongzhou." This gentleman was quite smooth, smiling as he greeted them.
"Alright, since we’re all acquainted now, let’s eat; I’ve been ready for a long ti."
The two gentlen sat at the dining table, shocked at the sight of the dishes; it was all at!
Having money now doesn’t guarantee availability. Sotis the supply and marketing cooperative wouldn’t sell at even once a month.
Following that, a large bowl of red braised pork was served. Wow, a family of ten might not get this much at in a year.
"Co on, let’s sit down and chat while we eat."
Initially, the two gentlen were a bit reserved, "Take care of your friends; let’s make sure to finish all the dishes today."
"Don’t worry, the at won’t be left." Wang Ailing smiled and said.
"Indeed, none will be left."
"Then eat plenty."
When the two finally let go, nothing really remained at the end.
After eating and tidying up the table, five people sat down to chat.
"Sister She, I’m afraid I won’t make it to your good day, very sorry."
"It’s all work, I understand. Just hope you co back safe."
"Certainly."
Next were so inconsequential words, but it was still enjoyable.
At one in the afternoon, the two pairs left together.
Ho was left to herself again; she turned on the radio, listening to its babbling, felt that it wasn’t so quiet, and actually quite nice.
She muddled around at ho until Monday when she went to work.
"Director Jiang, today we’re going to turn in donations."
"Secretary Song, how much is our factory’s donation?"
"Eleven thousand three hundred sixty-five."
"Quite a lot, averaging more than ten yuan per person. Mine hasn’t been donated."
"Director Jiang, Mr. Qian covered your donation. You don’t need to worry."
"How much was it?"
"Twenty."
"Alright, I understand. I’ll pay Mr. Qian back later."
Jiang Xinyu didn’t go to send off the money this ti; as an office director, she really wasn’t qualified — her position probably should be in procurent.
Wu Hongyu ca by, and Jiang Xinyu told him about so precautions.
"Thanks, Director Jiang; I’m heading off, I know what to prepare now."
After that, the security departnt ca over to discuss the job arrangent issue.
Jiang Xinyu didn’t understand anything about these and simply listened awkwardly from aside without understanding.
During lunch, she ran into Kong ngjie. They ate together.
"Xinyu, this ti you can’t bring food to the village?"
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "The previous two tis were on behalf of our textile factory. This ti the governnt is leading; I don’t have the guts for it. But all the grain brought back will go to the food depot, and our village can get so."
"I was thinking if possible, I would prepare to ask for more grain this ti, since you haven’t been back for a while. Nowadays, eighty percent of the households in our village only eat one al a day."
"Alas! It’s tough. But this ti, I really can’t. I don’t have the ability; this ti, Shen Xueqi is leading the team."
Upon hearing Shen Xueqi’s na, Kong ngjie paused — he really was a great prospect and seed to have feelings for her. But now it seed hopeless.
