Chapter 245 Generous Rewards
Jiang Zifeng felt bad looking at her grandfather, whose hair had turned white.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "Grandpa, if it weren't for that kind sister last time..."
"You've provided us with cornmeal, now do you still have the energy to lecture me?"
Grandpa Jiang was stunned when he heard this. He knew that his grandson had suffered a lot with him at such a young age.
I received a lot of disdain and insults from strangers.
This led to his extreme, cold, and selfish personality.
Taking advantage of Grandpa Jiang's momentary daze, Jiang Zifeng reached out and snatched the paper from his hand.
I carefully folded it and placed it close to my body in the pocket inside my clothes.
"Grandpa, we almost starved to death."
Grandpa Jiang's nose tingled, tears streaming down his face. He immediately hugged his grandson and stroked his head with his rough hands.
"Xiao Feng, it's because Grandpa is incompetent that you've suffered."
"But Grandpa still hopes that Xiaofeng will be an upright and kind person."
Jiang Zifeng looked up at Grandpa Jiang, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
She struggled out of his arms.
A childish yet indifferent voice rang out. "Grandpa, this is because of a deal I made with my sister."
After saying that, he turned around, pushed open the rickety door, and walked out.
...
Textile factory gate
Gu Yihan had just arrived at the entrance of the textile factory on her bicycle when she was stopped by Leng Xiao, who had been waiting for her.
"Sister-in-law, the teacher wants to talk to you about something."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked up at Leng Xiao, who had a smile on his face, and said, "I'll go back to the factory and ask for leave."
"Sister-in-law, Director Yang has given you special permission to go see my teacher. You don't need to ask for leave."
After saying that, he took out the pre-signed approval slip from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yihan.
Gu Yihan glanced at the approval slip in Director Yang's flamboyant handwriting, took it, and put it in her pocket.
She pushed her bicycle and walked alongside Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao glanced at Gu Yihan's fair profile, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, did the little hamster look for you?"
Gu Yihan glanced at the little hamster sleeping in the space and frowned.
Why does it sleep all day? It's almost never awake.
Seeing that Gu Yihan was distracted, Leng Xiao raised his voice and called out, "Sister-in-law?"
Gu Yihan glared at Leng Xiao, annoyed: "I'm not deaf, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Leng Xiao raised his hand and touched his nose, saying embarrassedly, "I was just in a hurry."
Gu Yihan snorted coldly: "It didn't come looking for me!"
Entrance of the detached villa
Master Chu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Gu Yihan, then quickly walked to her side.
He chuckled and said, "Comrade Gu, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days."
Gu Yihan: "..."
Upon hearing this, Leng Xiao immediately walked to Master Chu's side and whispered, "Teacher, you're not suited to flattery."
Who would compliment someone's looks upon first meeting them? That makes him sound like a lecherous old man.
Master Chu glared at Leng Xiao with annoyance: "What do you know!"
Turning to Gu Yihan, he smiled and said, "Comrade Gu, let's go inside and talk."
Gu Yihan glanced at Leng Xiao, whose face was embarrassed, and nodded.
living room
Gu Yihan sat on the sofa, listening to Master Chu talk at length about how the hamsters had helped them in the experiments.
"Comrade Gu, the little hamster can find high-grade medicinal herbs that are not yet listed."
"The effect is several times greater than that of existing medicinal materials."
"If it had appeared even one day later, it would have been a loss for medical research in China."
"So, Comrade Gu, we need your help."
Gu Yihan looked up and glanced at her Master Chu, who was gazing at her with anticipation.
He picked up the water glass on the coffee table, took a sip, and didn't say anything.
If you want to get something for nothing, you can't act too eager.
She placed the teacup on the wooden coffee table and said, "Master Chu, it's not like you weren't watching me, is it?"
"How could you not know whether I've seen the hamster or not?"
Do you really think she's stupid?
During that week, she went back and forth between the textile factory and the residential compound, and someone was secretly watching her every move.
Upon hearing this, Master Chu gave an awkward laugh and tried to explain, "This is not to protect you and the little hamster."
He then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Comrade Gu, if you help us find the little hamster, our research institute will give you a generous reward."
He had no other choice but to place all his hopes on Gu Yihan.
After all, current research inevitably involves hamsters, whose sense of taste and smell are more sensitive than humans'.
Gu Yihan glanced at her wrist. It was almost lunchtime, and she could still catch the staff canteen's mealtime if she rode her bike back to the textile factory.
She stood up, smiled, and said to Master Chu, "Master Chu, don't worry. For the generous reward you mentioned, I'll let you know as soon as I hear any news about the little hamster."
After saying goodbye to Master Chu and Leng Xiao, he prepared to return to the textile factory.
"Leng Xiao, see Comrade Gu off." Master Chu reached out and pushed Leng Xiao, who was glued to the sofa.
Leng Xiao quickly stood up, smiled, and walked to Hu Yihan's side, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you home."
Gu Yihan nodded and hummed in agreement.
After leaving the row of villas, Gu Yihan turned to Leng Xiao and said, "Comrade Leng, you don't need to see me off. I'll ride my bike back."
Leng Xiao glanced at Gu Yihan, who was pushing her bicycle, and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help with this matter."
Gu Yihan laughed and joked, "That depends on whether your generous reward can sway me."
Leng Xiao paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced thoughtfully at Gu Yihan.
He laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll have the teacher send you the generous reward list when we get back."
Gu Yihan smiled slightly at Leng Xiao: "I hope our wishes come true."
After Gu Yihan finished speaking, she turned around and rode her bicycle towards the family compound.
She needs to figure out why the hamster has been sleeping almost every day since it came back.
There must be a reason she doesn't know.
She rode her bike into the alley and was startled by a child who suddenly rushed out. She quickly pulled the handbrake, looked at Jiang Zifeng who had fallen to the ground, and frowned.
She immediately got out of the car, walked over to him, squatted down, and looked at him with concern.
He asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Jiang Zifeng smelled a familiar fragrance, suddenly raised her head, stared intently at Gu Yihan, her eyes filled with tears.
She said, "Sister, I'm not hurt."
Hu Yihan was relieved to hear that he was not hurt and carefully helped him up.
He took a White Rabbit milk candy out of his pocket and put it in his hand.
To calm him down, she said, "Be more careful when you walk next time."
Jiang Xiaofeng gripped the White Rabbit candy tightly in her palm, her eyes shining as she looked at Gu Yihan and nodded repeatedly.
Gu Yihan rode her bicycle around in a circle until she reached the dilapidated courtyard house, where she remotely received the paper written by Jiang Xiaofeng.
She then placed another ten pounds of cornmeal in the original spot. After doing all this, she rode her bicycle back to the textile factory.
