The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Jingxing spoke first: "I'm sorry, I had to leave yesterday because of something urgent. When I came back to find you after I finished taking care of it, you had already left. I didn't have anything to do today, so I came here to see you."

He was carrying a bunch of things in his hands.

Su Yan didn't want to kick him out, so she said, "Come in and sit down. I should be thanking you for this. Why did you bring a gift? It makes me a little embarrassed."

Is she embarrassed?

She's faking it, it's fake, don't believe her!

Jiang Jingxing walked in, put his things down, nodded to Feng Caixia as a greeting, and then asked, "How's your foot? The nurse at the clinic said you needed to change your dressing, but you didn't go today, did you?"

As Su Yan poured him tea, she replied, "No, let me finish my work today. Please wait for me."

As she spoke, she hopped to the door and called out to Liang Xiaorui, who was about to leave, "Xiaorui, come in for a moment, I've got a business opportunity for you."

Liang Xiaorui stopped and turned around, his dark little face full of joy. He let go of the burdock cart and hurriedly ran over.

He wiped the sweat from his face, his eyes clear and bright, radiating a strong light. "Really, Sister Su Yan?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Su Yan pulled him inside, introduced him to Feng Caixia, and then arranged for the two of them to chat in the tea room.

She believed that Xiao Rui had his own ideas, and she also believed that Feng Caixia would not deceive him.

After settling the two of them in, she returned to the living room to greet Jiang Jingxing. "How did you know my home address?"

Jiang Jingxing said without changing his expression, "I asked Tang Li."

After saying that, he glanced at her wrapped foot and continued, "I'll take you to the hospital to change your dressing when you're done with your work."

There's no need to go to the clinic if you live in town.

Su Yan looked at him questioningly and asked, "Have you completed your mission?"

Why does this person seem so idle?

And judging from the stripes on his shoulder, he must be a leader. Are all leaders this free?

"I left suddenly yesterday afternoon to deal with the criminals; otherwise, I could have stayed with you," Jiang Jingxing said seriously.

Su Yan found it a little funny, "I'm not a child anymore, there's no need to watch me so closely."

She always felt that Jiang Jingxing's words were a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about them, and she wondered if she was just overthinking it.

Jiang Jingxing didn't speak, his deep eyes fixed on her.

Su Yan cursed under her breath for being crazy, then changed the subject, saying, "Now that you've finished your mission, can we go to Beijing?"

To be honest, she was actually looking forward to it.

She's never seen what Beijing was like in the 1980s, and she doesn't know if it's the same as described in books.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to go to Beijing with a limp?"

His gaze shifted to her feet.

Su Yan: "..." Okay, she didn't expect that.

"Then I'll go when I'm better."

She didn't want to be skipping and jumping around on the street; not only would she be tired, but she'd also make a fool of herself.

Jiang Jingxing was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "My mission is over and I need to return to Beijing to report for duty. I'm leaving tomorrow."

Su Yan: "...Then what should we do? Not go?"

She glared at him with resentment the moment she finished speaking.

Jiang Jingxing coughed lightly and quickly said, "I'll give you our company's address and my office phone number. After your foot heals, go to Beijing. I'll reimburse your travel expenses. Call me when you arrive, and I'll pick you up. How about that?"

Su Yan: "..." So you've arranged everything.

She raised her eyebrows and replied, "That works too."

Anyway, she really wanted to go to Beijing before the start of the semester to check out the business situation there. If she wanted to become the richest person, she had to be diligent and work hard to expand her business.

Jiang Jingxing immediately took out a piece of paper with a number and address written on it from his pocket and handed it over; it was clearly prepared in advance.

Su Yan didn't pay attention to any of that. She glanced down at the address, a look of surprise flashing across her eyes.

She had been to this address in her past life when she was on a business trip, and it was also a military unit.

In her past life, she encountered a robber when she passed by this spot. The criminal wanted to rob her of both money and sex. If she hadn't shouted before her mouth was covered and been noticed in time by a man in military uniform, she would have been defiled long ago.

The man in military uniform had his face covered and seemed to be a high-ranking leader. After rescuing her, he left in a hurry. In a daze, she heard someone call him... Commander?

Before leaving, the man carefully instructed people to take good care of her. His voice sounded very young. To become a commander at such a young age, one can imagine how outstanding he must be.

This is what she thought about later. When she encountered that incident, she was still in a daze for a while. After she calmed down, she contacted the people in the army, wanting to thank him in person, but he refused. She was a little disappointed, but she still didn't bother him again.

This has always been her regret, after all, he was her savior.

"What a coincidence?" she murmured, looking at the note in her hand.

Jiang Jingxing looked at her, puzzled. "What coincidence?"

Su Yan quickly snapped out of her thoughts, carefully put the note in her pocket, and said, "It's nothing, just rambling on. Just do as you say, and make sure you can get in touch with me later. I'm a very vengeful person."

She scared him in a joking manner.

Jiang Jingxing noticed her handling of the note carefully, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, but he quickly suppressed it. Then he earnestly assured her, "This situation will absolutely not happen, otherwise I will never appear in front of you again for the rest of my life."

Su Yan laughed and teased, "It's not like you'll be in front of me for the rest of your life."

Upon hearing this, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this moment, Feng Caixia and Liang Xiaorui finished their conversation and came out of the tea room.

Both of them looked quite happy.

Su Yan smiled and said, "It seems you two had a good chat."

Liang Xiaorui ran up to her excitedly and shared, "Sister Su Yan, Aunt Caixia has agreed to cooperate with me long-term! She'll let me be the sole supplier of chicken, duck, fish, and goose for their restaurant, so I can earn lots and lots of money!"

Su Yan smiled with relief, patted his head, and instructed, "Then you must do your best, work diligently, and don't have any bad thoughts. You can come to me if you have any questions."

"I understand!" Liang Xiaorui nodded solemnly.

No matter how many years pass, he will never forget the joy of today.

His life began with this sister in front of him, who was not related to him by blood, but did things for him that surpassed blood ties!

Feng Caixia also said, "Keep it up, Aunt Caixia has high hopes for you. When I come to pick up your sister Su Yan in a couple of days, I'll bring the contract over for you to sign. But there's one problem: Xiao Rui is only 10 years old, so there must be a guarantor on the contract."

She can't change that; the contract was drafted and required by headquarters.
