Chapter 449 Don’t Know

Shen Tingci returned to the office after the meeting. Before he could even take a sip of water from his teacup, someone knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

When the other party came in, he said, “Minister Shen, there is a female comrade named Wu outside who wants to see you and says she is your friend.”

"Wu?" Shen Tingci took a sip of tea and shook his head, indicating that he had no friend with the surname Wu.

Secretary Zhang Guang had no choice but to say, "She said her name was Wu Xinyi."

Shen Tingci's eyes moved slightly, "I don't know him," he said after taking another sip of tea.

"By the way, send the food to my office." He pinched the bridge of his nose, his face full of fatigue, "I'm a little tired!"

"Okay," Zhang Guang closed the door and walked out.

As soon as Zhang Guang left, Shen Tingci began to close his eyes and rest.

He is really tired.

But not so tired that you don’t have the energy to eat.

But, Wu Xinyi actually came back?

He thought this man would stay in the countryside all his life.

Just come back, and why come to see him?

What a headache.

Although he didn't understand Wu Xinyi's train of thought, he decided to keep himself innocent.

As for meeting Wu Xinyi, this "friend", Shen Tingci was not interested.

Shen Tingci was not interested in meeting Wu Xinyi, this "friend", but Wu Xinyi was very anxious to meet Shen Tingci, this "friend".

So when the person in the reception room came back speechlessly and told Wu Xinyi, "Comrade, why are you playing tricks on me?"

"Our Minister Shen said he didn't know you at all," the people in the message room said this with a gloomy look on their faces.

Thanks to him for going in several times to pass on messages, he annoyed his leader for no reason.

After saying that, the person in the reception room drove Wu Xinyi away, "If you have nothing else, leave quickly and don't delay my work."

Wu Xinyi was driven out of the message room. She stood in the sun, feeling the cold wind. She was not giving up. She wanted to knock on the door of the message room, but the master closed the door because he was going to eat.

I was delayed by this guy for so long that I didn't even have time to eat.

"Comrade, comrade, did you say the wrong name?"

"My name is Wu Xinyi, Wu~Xin~Yi..."

The master just turned around and rolled his eyes at her, then wrapped his military coat tightly and walked away quickly.

Wu Xinyi was left standing alone in the cold wind. "How could this happen? How could this happen..."

She couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong, how could Shen Tingci say that he didn't know her?

impossible!

Could it be that he hated her because she had insisted on leaving him behind to go to the countryside?

Wu Xinyi thinks this is possible.

Recognizing this possibility in her heart, Wu Xinyi decided to wait for Shen Tingci to get off work.

She first went to a nearby state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles, and then began to wait in front of the county party committee with her things in hand.

Today is the last working day of the county committee. Shen Tingzhi, who was conscripted into the army, slipped away early and ran out at two o'clock pushing his bicycle.

As soon as she got to the gate, someone called her, "Ting Zhi!"

When she heard someone calling her, Shen Tingzhi stopped the car and looked around.

Soon she saw a woman carrying something walking towards her from the right.

Shen Tingzhi looked at the woman and felt familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember who she was.

Until the other party came closer and told her identity in a friendly manner, "Tingzhi, it's me, I'm Sister Xinyi."

Shen Tingzhi looked at it again, oh, I remembered.

She looked back subconsciously, then frowned and asked, "Are you here to see my eldest brother?"

"My eldest brother is married," Shen Tingzhi said this first, without caring at all when Wu Xinyi would come back.

Wu Xinyi's friendly expression almost failed to maintain, but she clenched the things in her hands and tried to maintain it, "I know, I just came to see him as a friend."

When Shen Tingzhi heard this, she relaxed her brows a little, and then kindly advised her, “My eldest brother is very busy today, you probably won’t be able to see him.”

Wu Xinyi grabbed Shen Tingzhi's handlebars after hearing this, "Tingzhi, look, I'm here now," she even showed Shen Tingzhi her red, frozen hands that were carrying things, "I've been waiting here for a long time, and they won't let me in, nor will they help me convey the message, can you take me in for a moment?"

She said, raising her hand carrying the things, "I promise, I'll go in, put the things down and leave."

"I haven't been back for so many years. I don't have any other thoughts. I just want to see your brother as an old friend."

After Wu Xinyi finished speaking, Shen Tingzhi did think about it, but she shook her head, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but my eldest brother’s temper…” Shen Tingzhi paused here, “Maybe you don’t know even if I tell you, my eldest brother’s temper is not good now, when he is busy with work, I dare not disturb him.”

Shen Tingzhi said, glancing at what Wu Xinyi was holding, and said with a slightly mocking expression, "In fact, so many years have passed, my eldest brother has started a family, and you don't have to bother my eldest brother anymore."

When they were getting married, Wu Xinyi abandoned Shen Tingci and went to the countryside, leaving Shen Tingci without a marriage partner. For several years afterwards, he refused to contact anyone for marriage, which caused a lot of gossip about their family. Shen Tingzhi felt a little resentful towards Wu Xinyi.

So she spoke with resentment.

The little bit of kindness on Wu Xinyi's face completely disappeared, and she frowned, "Tingzhi, I think I need to explain to you that I didn't intentionally abandon your brother. I... I just wanted to develop myself first, and I wanted to get married a few years later."

"I also invited my eldest brother to go to the countryside with me, so that we could work hard together and then come back, but he was unwilling to do so!"

Shen Tingzhi took back her handlebars, her face full of displeasure, “Why should my eldest brother accompany you to the countryside?”

"You want to develop yourself, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Do you have to wait until you're about to get married to tell me?"

"Since you want to develop yourself, just continue to develop yourself. Why are you looking for my eldest brother now?"

"Is my elder brother here hindering your development in the countryside?"

"Tsk, that's really interesting!" Shen Tingzhi taunted the last sentence, then kicked the bicycle and ran away.

Wu Xinyi was so angry that her face turned blue. She wanted to throw the thing in her hand, but considering that she would have to buy it again after throwing it, she had to give up.

Wu Xinyi was so angry that her heart ached because she couldn't vent her anger.

Shen Tingzhi rode her bicycle and arrived home quickly.

Arriving home and entering the yard, Shen Tingzhi pushed her bicycle towards the carport while shouting "Mom, mom..."

Chen Ying and Gu Shuhe were sitting at the door of the main hall, sewing a pair of cotton pants. When they heard this, they said angrily, "Calling your soul!"

Shen Tingzhi parked her bicycle and immediately ran to Chen Ying.

"Mom, guess who I met today?"

"Who?" Chen Ying didn't even raise her head.

Instead, Gu Shuhe looked at her with curiosity.

Looking at the curious eyes of the elder sister-in-law, and then looking at her bulging belly, Shen Tingzhi thought about it and shook her head, "No one, just a classmate I haven't seen for a long time."

She looked at the cotton pants in Chen Ying's hand again. "Are these cotton pants for my nephew?"

"Well, it's cold, so I sew two more strips to avoid having to change them after they get peed," Chen Ying replied without raising her head.
