Sure enough, just as Mr. Qi had his secretary, Tian, ​​change the positions of Xu Hongchang and his group, Commander Wei arrived and demanded to see Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi did not show favoritism. When Commander Wei came over, he complained, "Sir, this matter of handing over national treasures was originally assigned to our military region. Why is it suddenly being transferred to Lao Huang's side?"

Is there anything you're dissatisfied with regarding our work, sir?

Mr. Qi smiled and shook his head. "Commander Wei, I've heard about what happened at the museum entrance this morning."

Mr. Qi only said that one sentence, leaving the rest to Commander Wei's imagination. He frowned slightly. He had heard about what happened that morning, but wasn't it normal for the two sides to have different opinions under those circumstances?

Is it really necessary for Mr. Qi to make such a big deal out of this? These days, who doesn't want to get more credit and less trouble? Everyone does it this way, so why is Mr. Qi interfering?

"Sir, the matter from this morning hasn't been fully investigated yet, and the people we arrested were taken away by the people from the South Island. We haven't done anything about it here..."

Mr. Qi raised his hand to interrupt Commander Wei, who was about to continue, "Commander Wei, we have considered this matter, and it's settled here. There will be other tasks assigned to you later."

Commander Wei stormed back to the military region and berated several division commanders. After they all left, he began to ponder Mr. Qi's meaning.

Several factions have now formed within the upper echelons of China, each with its own founding principles. Mr. Qi has never expressed any opinion before, but judging from today's situation, could it be that Mr. Qi is intentionally supporting the conservatives? No, they need to hold a meeting tonight to discuss this matter.

Tang Yue had no idea about the lawsuits involving her superiors; she was just curious why they had been transferred to another military region after only a few hours. The military region they had come to this time was quite far away.

Tang Yue had originally planned to go to the department store to look for Lai Xiang later, but due to the change of military district, it was already quite late by the time they settled in. It wasn't a good time to go out and look for her anymore.

Meanwhile, Lai Xiang, whom Tang Yue was thinking about, was frowning deeply.

"Cousin, what's wrong? Don't you want to hear this? Am I wrong? How long has it been since your little friend contacted you? You gave her all those good things. It seems she doesn't need you anymore, so she dumped you."

Cousin, you'd better be more careful in the future. Do you think every family treats you as well as ours, like our own family?

While speaking, Nie Qianwen rolled her eyes at Lai Xiang.

Lai Xiang was a little annoyed just now, but she has composed herself now, her face expressionless. "Wenwen, are you done talking? If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first."

"No, cousin, I haven't finished yet. You've used up your bicycle and sewing ticket tickets, and now I want to buy a new bicycle. You decide what to do."

Lai Xiang didn't really want to deal with her unruly cousin, but since she was staying at her aunt's house, she really couldn't avoid it.

Sighing inwardly, she really wanted to rent a place to live on her own, but her mother was always worried about her safety as a girl on her own. Lai Xiang felt helpless.

"Wenwen, I'll ask my friends in the next couple of days to see if they still have any bicycle tickets. I'll give you one when the time comes."

After saying that, Lai Xiang didn't want to stay downstairs any longer. "Auntie, Wenwen, I'm going back to my room now."

Lai Xiang went upstairs, and then her aunt Wu Jinghui glared at her daughter Nie Qianwen, saying, "What are you up to with your cousin again? It's just a bicycle ticket, isn't it? Just ask your dad to get you one. It's not like it's anything special. Why do you have to make her unhappy?"

Nie Qianwen clung to her mother's arm, acting coquettishly. She pressed her face against her mother's arm and said, "Hmph, I just can't stand my cousin's behavior. She lives with us, so she shouldn't be thinking of us when it comes to good things. But look at her!"

She sent such an expensive bicycle, sewing machine, and even an electric fan to a little kid she just met. How could I not be angry? She didn't even mention buying me one. And I'm her cousin, for goodness' sake.

Wu Jinghui patted her helplessly, "You have everything in your room. Didn't you dislike sewing machines? You said you wouldn't make clothes for people every day, and that you'd rather buy nicer clothes."

Besides the sewing machine, what else do you have at home? Your cousin thinks she gets along well with that girl, so what's wrong with them seeing each other more often? Besides, you ate quite a bit of the meat that girl sent you last time.

And you even used the face wipes that other people brought you, raving about how great they were.

Nie Qianwen didn't even blush. "Hmph! My cousin sent her so many nice things, what's wrong with her returning some gifts? Isn't that only natural? Besides, didn't my cousin send her so many nice things again?"

She must have sent those things because she wanted to get more good stuff from her cousin. Otherwise, why didn't her cousin give her a return gift when her cousin sent her a big item this time?

"It's been so long already; if someone had been really interested, the item could have been shipped back and forth by now. It's obvious they're trying to take advantage."

"Alright, that's your cousin's own business, so don't worry about it."

"How can that be? My cousin eats and lives at our house, why should she spend the money she earns on others? She should spend more on our family, otherwise she would be heartless."

Wu Jinghui felt that what her little girl said made sense. At this moment, the two of them forgot about the things and various receipts that Lai Xiang's mother sent to them from Northeast China every year.
