Chapter 223 Just to Wait for Feng Shuo

Pei Songyin rarely stayed at the Feng family during her vacation. After consulting Zhu Yunying, she asked Xiao Zhang to temporarily act as her driver, and she had been running around in Beijing for several days.

The car starts out at dawn and never comes back until late at night.

In Zeng Xiaoqin's words, "When my aunt comes home, half of Beijing has to come out to welcome her."

Zhu Yunying took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously.

It is also impossible for her to be too concerned about her mother-in-law's social life, which is a bit impolite.

What's more, Zeng Xiaoqin has been accompanying her frequently recently, leaving her no time to think too much.

The businesses of the fabric factory and the garment factory have been connected.

Yao Wanli and Xia Jun both came to Feng's house and gave her some thank-you gifts, but due to the previous agreement, neither of them revealed more and only said that it was a routine visit.

Old Mrs. Feng received them and chatted about things in the factory, and inevitably talked about Zhu Yunying making her own clothes.

She took out the children's clothes made by Zhu Yunying as if she were presenting a treasure, and was very proud of it, praising her craftsmanship.

Yao Wanli immediately said that the new cotton cloth in the fabric factory was of good quality and very soft, and was perfect for making children's clothing.

Zhu Yunying wanted to laugh when she heard this. Isn’t the new cotton cloth made from her own cotton?

She and Yao Wanli had a tacit understanding and were secretly glad.

Xia Jun looked at the children's sweatshirts she made and fell into deep thought.

Zeng Xiaoqin said bluntly, "Director Xia, if this doesn't appeal to you, there's no need to praise it! Just take a look at it."

"Xiaoqin, how can you speak like that?"

Old Madam Feng frowned and patted the back of her hand, saying unhappily, "When we were little, you chased after Ah Jun and called him brother."

"When did I ever chase him and call him brother? My cousin is my only brother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoqin's eyes turned red. She pursed her lips tightly to suppress the disappointment in her heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunying jokingly said, "Why are you still crying? Come on, have some honey to sweeten your mouth."

"Sister-in-law, you don't know..."

Zeng Xiaoqin couldn't help feeling sad when she mentioned Feng Shuo, and she started to feel aggrieved, but just as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Old Madam Feng.

"Zeng Xiaoqin, if you're too idle, go back to work at the newspaper."

She had a serious face and tone, and she made Zeng Xiaoqin shut up at the right time.

If Xia Jun doesn't say something now, he and Zeng Xiaoqin will probably be at odds with each other in the future.

He cleared his throat and explained, "Reporter Zeng misunderstood. I just saw that Yun Ying's skills and level of skill in making small clothes are very good, and I thought she is on par with the tailors in our factory. There happened to be a recruitment for a tailor position, but then I thought, she is just visiting relatives in Beijing and is pregnant, so it is not suitable..."

"Ajun, your factory is doing so well!"

Old Mrs. Feng was also a little surprised.

Xia Jun scratched his head unkindly. "It's always been pretty good. The raw materials are in short supply. Before, I was so busy looking for fabric that I didn't have the time or the energy to care about other departments. But this time, thanks to Uncle Yao's factory supplying fabric, not only did it solve my urgent business needs, but I also...got a promotion."

"You got a promotion! So what are you now? Higher than the director?"

Zeng Xiaoqin felt a little unhappy.

This nerd is so good at everything he does!

Several other people also cast curious glances.

Xia Jun laughed dryly and said, "Now he's the deputy director of production."

“That’s amazing!”

“Not bad, not bad!”

"Ajun, congratulations!"

Several people praised it at the same time.

Only Zeng Xiaoqin muttered sourly, "Now I can't call you Director Xia anymore, I'll call you Factory Director Xia."

"...It's all right. It's just a name."

Xia Jun was sitting in the old commander's house. How could he dare to show off his power just because a factory director looked up? He had to lower his head and be submissive!

Old Mrs. Feng was smiling widely.

At her age, she is naturally happy to see the younger ones excelling.

Not to mention, she had chosen Xia Jun before and wanted to match him with Zhu Yunwei!

She went back to her room and gave Xia Jun a brand new pen.

"Here, keep it. Congratulations on your promotion, work hard!"

Xia Jun took it with great trepidation: "Thank you, Grandma Feng."

"I feel relieved to see that each of you has made great progress."

Old Madam Feng smiled faintly, took Zhu Yunyao's hand again, and asked tentatively, "If Yunyao is really interested in making clothes, would you like to go and learn from Director Xia?"

The pen in Xia Jun's hand suddenly felt heavy.

But he had originally had this idea and didn't find it strange. He also looked at Zhu Yunying and said, "There are several veterans in the factory who know a lot."

Zhu Yunying was still feeling happy for his promotion and salary increase, but she didn't expect the topic to turn to herself.

She really wanted to follow a serious master and learn well.

It will come in handy when I return to the compound in the future.

After all, these days, if you don’t have the real stuff, you can’t do big business just by talking.

"But I can't do this for long. When Feng Shuo comes back, I guess it's time to go back to the compound."

After Zhu Yunying finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.

It can be considered as saying it out loud.

She stayed in Jing City just to wait for Feng Shuo.

Old Mrs. Feng and Zeng Xiaoqin looked at each other without saying anything.

Xia Jun felt sorry, but also understood, and said, "It's the peak season recently, and the factory can hire some apprentices to help out. If you're willing to come, just tell me."

Zhu Yunying did not give a definite answer, and Xia Jun did not force it, but Old Lady Feng was very supportive.

When the two of them left, Zhu Yunyao saw them off.

Zeng Xiaoqin helped Old Lady Feng back to her room, feeling a little angry. "Grandma, why are you pushing your sister-in-law closer to that guy Xia Jun again? Don't you think your cousin won't come back?"

Old Mrs. Feng paused, her eyes moistened, and she pursed her lips.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "It's been too long."

This sentence left Zeng Xiaoqin speechless.

It's been a long time.

It's been so long that no one in the family dares to mention my cousin.

I don’t know how long I can keep this secret from my sister-in-law.

I hope my aunt can find the clue soon.

…

In the sanatorium.

Chen Xushan felt really guilty facing Pei Songyin. He twitched his lips and muttered hesitantly, "Before Feng Shuo left on the mission, he said he could let me go to the farm to see the children. I was just anxious just now..."

Yang He had a wooden board clamped between his arms and hanging around his neck. His face was covered in bruises, but his eyes were fierce.

"Commander! That's not what he meant just now. When he heard that the regimental commander hadn't returned, he said something about those who should have returned not coming back. It seems that the lives of Chief of Staff Lu and Brother Yu are not worth living! The regimental commander is missing, and we are more anxious than anyone else, but he didn't mean it at all. He just wanted the regimental commander to do something..."

Yang He is the most impulsive and emotional person in the team.

After complaining, he was afraid that Pei Songyin would think that they had abandoned Feng Shuo. With red eyes, he choked and said, "Commander, we really looked for him. We searched the entire mountain, but we couldn't find the commander's men..."

"Captain Yang, focus on healing your body and don't worry about meaningless things."

Pei Songyin's calm voice reached the door of the doctor's office, causing Panpan, who had come anxiously to find Dr. Shen, to cover her mouth in shock.
