Chapter 57: Tenderness and Love in the Republic of China

Rongzhen almost lost herself in the increasingly intense kiss and thought she was going to confess here.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu still had his sense and knew that he shouldn't offend her here, but he couldn't help but kiss her a little too hard. After the kiss, he hugged her and didn't do anything else.

The two of them hugged each other tightly through the quilt, calming their hot and messy breathing.

After a moment, Jiang Yu finally returned to normal. He lowered his head and kissed Rong Zhen's rosy cheek, saying softly, "It's dawn now. Get up and have breakfast. I'll have someone take you home."

"Okay." Rongzhen nodded, feeling like he had missed something.

When she had packed up and was going to have breakfast with Jiang Yu, she suddenly remembered that she had almost forgotten about A Cui, and quickly asked Jiang Yu to help find her.

Jiang Yu already knew A Cui's hidden identity from Aunt Pang, and she also helped him last night at the hotel, so he readily agreed.

After dinner, the rickshaw was waiting at the back door of the Special Intelligence Bureau. When Rongzhen came out, she found that it was snowing again. Fine salt particles were falling in the wind, but it was not as heavy as when she came.

This is Shanghai, which is located in the south, so why does it snow every now and then in winter? Is it because of the greenhouse effect in later generations that the temperature has risen?

Rongzhen was puzzled, but she gave up thinking about it since she couldn't figure it out. She reached out and caught a small diamond-shaped snowflake, which felt cold to the touch.

Jiang Yu stretched out his big hand and wrapped it around her small hand. The warm temperature was immediately transmitted and soon melted the snowflake into a drop of water.

"It's cold, go back quickly and don't play too much outside." Jiang Yu reminded her and took off his gray-green military coat and put it on her.

Rong Zhen's frozen face was immediately surrounded by the softness of his body temperature, and her body quickly warmed up.

Rong Zhen was overjoyed, but she refused, saying, "If you give it to me, what will you do?"

Jiang Yu used her scarf to wrap her head and face, and smiled when he heard her words: "What else do I need to wear? This one is for you. Remember to take it back and hide it for the time being. When I finish my current affairs, you can wear it outside."

At that time, it would be a good idea to announce that the beauty has a boyfriend, so that other people with ulterior motives will give up and not get involved with his wife.

Rong Zhen knew the seriousness of the situation and certainly wouldn't hold him back at this moment. After agreeing and saying goodbye to him, she turned around and prepared to get in the car. Suddenly, the latter stepped forward and raised his hand, "Come, I'll help you."

This very romantic and gentlemanly feeling captured Rongzhen's girlish heart.

I still remember a scene like this in Pride and Prejudice. When I first watched it with my roommates in college, who wouldn’t have thought that one day in the future a prince charming would do something similar for me?

Rongzhen's heart suddenly beat happily, as if she had a lively little deer in her arms.

She looked at him with sparkling eyes and obediently placed her hand on his big palm.

Jiang Yu curled up the corners of his lips, and with a force of his hands, he easily put her on the car seat, and then helped her open the roof to protect her from the wind and snow.

Rong Zhen also took advantage of her position to help him brush off the snowflakes on the brim of his hat. She said in a gentle voice, "I'm leaving now. You should remember to balance work and rest. Work is important, but your health is more important."

Jiang Yu covered her hands, then stuffed them back into her coat, nodded and said, "I remember. You should be good at home. If I can't go back in the next few days, don't worry. If you have any problems, you can find Aunt Fatty. Don't come here easily."

Rongzhen understood that he was worried about her safety and that he was giving her these instructions for her own good, as he didn't want to bring any danger to her.

After hesitating for a long time, the rickshaw finally turned around and ran into the wind and snow.

Rongzhen poked her head out of the carport and saw Jiang Yu still standing there in the wind and snow, watching her leave. She couldn't help but wave at him and told him to go in quickly.

The tall figure standing in the wind and snow also waved in response and gradually disappeared.

Back at the mansion, Auntie Fatty came up to greet her enthusiastically: "Young Madam is back. Did the banquet go well?"

Rongzhen smiled meaningfully and said, "It went quite smoothly."

Aunt Pang rolled her eyes, as if she wanted to ask something.

Rong Zhen didn't wait for her to test him and said directly: "Auntie Pang, I have seen Jiang Yu there. You don't have to call me Madam anymore."

The expression on Aunt Fat's face froze for a moment, and she almost couldn't hold on to her smile. She thought the truth was completely exposed and they had broken up.

The next second, Rong Zhen continued, "Call me Madam, call him Sir. There will be no Young Masters or Young Madams in this family from now on."

The terms "young master" and "young madam" were used based on Jiang Yu's identities, which sounded rather unpleasant.

Auntie Fat reacted quickly, smiled brightly, and replied loudly: "Yes, ma'am!"

She didn't ask why the new gentleman didn't come back with her. She guessed that he had gained something from the banquet and was taking the time to interrogate the Japanese devils.

In this case, she must guard the rear for him to relieve him of any worries.

At noon, A Cui finally came back. Not only was she unharmed, but her spirits and appearance had returned to their previous state.

Rongzhen asked her about how she escaped, and was relieved to know that she was not bullied by the Fuso military police. She happily gave her a day off and let her have a good rest.

The next day at school, all the members of Jinxiu Society took the opportunity to get together during the break to discuss what happened yesterday and make sure that nothing was wrong with each other.

Student Zhao felt very ashamed and apologized to every member who was affected. Finally, he especially said sorry to Rongzhen, and by the way, he vaguely inquired about her relationship with the new madman in the Special Intelligence Bureau.

The president and the others were also quite concerned and all pricked up their ears to listen.

But Rong Zhen still said the same thing, it was just that they had met a few times by chance.

"But I saw that he treated you..." Student Zhao didn't know what his purpose was and was anxious to confirm it.

The president saw that Rongzhen didn't want to reveal anything, so he interrupted at the right time: "Alright, everyone just went through such a thrilling night, let's not talk about those dangerous people now. We are still students, and the most important thing right now is to study hard and improve ourselves."

These words are not only a small warning to Zhao for being impatient and not being able to get the best deal, but also a subtle reminder to Rongzhen.

In her opinion, the new director of the Special Intelligence Bureau is not a good person, nor is he someone an ordinary female student can approach casually, because people like him are surrounded by many dangers, and if one's own abilities are not strong, he may lose his life accidentally.

Rong Zhen appreciated her kindness and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will pay attention to it."

Student Zhao opened her mouth, but reluctantly gave up the test task her father had given her.

Originally, Zhao's father planned that if Rong Zhen really had a close relationship with Jiang Yu, then they could win over Jiang Yu by winning her over.

After all, it is too difficult to start with Jiang Yu, and he cannot be easily made to give in. On the contrary, it is easier with Rong Zhen, provided that she really has an intimate relationship with the other party.

That's why classmate Zhao couldn't wait to confirm it today.

The president interrupted her for her own good, not to choose between her and Rongzhen, whom he had only known for a short time.

The president was observant and had already noticed that there might really be something fishy going on between Rongzhen and that person, so he didn't want his friend to be too rash and end up offending someone instead of winning them over.

Anyway, they still have enough time and can take it slowly. The Zhao family is not about to collapse without that supporter.

Student Zhao did not yet notice the president's painstaking efforts. She hung her head with a listless look, and the others shook their heads helplessly.

However, Rong Zhen's subsequent suggestion made her feel relieved and instantly cheered up.

Rongzhen mentioned her previous plan to open a factory and asked them if they would like to invest some pocket money and start a soy product factory with her for fun.

She said she was investing pocket money, but in fact what she wanted were the connections and relationships behind them. The so-called fun was not real, but she wanted to run the factory well, make good products and sell them well.

Student Zhao's eyes lit up and he was very enthusiastic. After asking her about her specific plans, he said he could invest one thousand yuan.

She said that this money was pocket money she had saved before, but except for Rongzhen, everyone else knew that she lived paycheck to paycheck. The few hundred yuan her family gave her every month was not enough for her to spend, so how could she save any money?

Student Zhao laughed in her heart, thinking that it didn't matter if she couldn't save enough, her father would definitely help her.

After all, as long as this soy products factory can be set up, she will have successfully completed the task assigned by her father.

With her taking the lead, others followed suit and invested three or five hundred yuan. It was obvious that they were not short of money.

And considering Rongzhen's possible relationship with that person, they all invested money willingly, just as a small amount of money to give that person some face.

Rongzhen didn't care what they were doing, as long as their goal was achieved.

As the initiator of the project, she herself confirmed that she would invest 2,000 yuan, which attracted the attention of the members and immediately changed their mentality towards the game.

Being able to invest so much at once, it seems that she is serious about setting up a factory and is not just talking about it for fun.

This is better, just consider it as an investment for them.

Thinking of this, everyone instantly became interested and started giving Rongzhen advice one after another. One said that it would be a good place to choose for the factory because of their family blah blah, and the other said that it would be convenient to recruit workers because of what they heard from their family members blah blah.

Rongzhen took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the information they revealed. Their serious attitude made everyone unable to help but talk more.

The president listened quietly and added some suggestions from time to time to improve the factory opening process.

For more than half a month afterwards, the weather was still cold, but Rongzhen and the others were very excited. With her as the main force, they were busy setting up the factory. They had to find a factory building, workers, raw materials, etc., and also take into account study and socializing. She was almost dizzy from being so busy that she almost forgot about the person who had not been home for half a month after flirting with him.

Late that night, Rongzhen woke up from her sleep and suddenly noticed a slight breathing sound next to her ear. Her heart skipped a beat and she instinctively elbowed the person.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Jiang Yu's normal voice rang out in the darkness, so beautiful that it made people want to get pregnant.

Rongzhen reached out to turn on the bedside lamp, confirmed that it was really him, and fell onto the bed with exhaustion.

"Why are you back at this time?" He acted like a thief.

Fortunately, she didn't have a gun, otherwise he would be finished today.

The male leader in the last world taught her that her marksmanship was no fake. Although she could hit the target every time, she could definitely hit the vital points.

Jiang Yu patted her back to help her calm down, and explained: "I chose to come back at this time because I don't want to attract the attention of certain people in the dark and put you in danger."

Besides, he came back this time to see her. They had just gotten engaged and had been separated for more than half a month, so it was hard not to miss her.

He was also planning to personally lead the team to complete the mission, so he came to say goodbye to her before leaving and gave her a small self-defense item.

Rongzhen was worried, but she knew she couldn't stop him, so she turned her attention to what he was going to give her, curious about what it was.
