Guan Yuxi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The man before her was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Leng Lie gripped her hand tightly. "Xi Xi, I can wait. Don't let go of me."
His gaze was intense yet tinged with sorrow.
Guan Yuxi softened, and her hand, which was about to be pulled back, stopped moving, letting him hold it quietly.
After the memorial service, the two prepared to return to the hospital to retrieve their belongings.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Song stopped him.
"Xiaoxi, wait!"
Guan Yuxi looked at him curiously, not thinking that she would have any further interaction with him.
Secretary Song jogged up to me, saying, "Luckily I caught you! You're coming to Kyoto with me the day after tomorrow!"
Going to Kyoto?
Guan Yuxi's heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be...?
What's the point of thinking about these things?
Even though my grandfather's case caused a great stir and some people wanted to use it for their own purposes, the deceased is gone, and people forget about him now.
What could she possibly do, being just the granddaughter of an ordinary peasant woman?
That's way too far-fetched!
Despite a thousand thoughts racing through her mind, she didn't show them, only asking in surprise, "What would I do in Kyoto?"
Secretary Song shrugged helplessly, "I don't know the specifics either."
However, the higher-ups told you to go, and the timeframe is quite urgent; it must be related to your grandfather.
Secretary Song was also completely baffled by this matter.
Guan Yuxi's clothing factory was nothing to them, let alone the big shots in Kyoto.
Even if Grandpa Dai praised her highly, he was just an old man who dealt with inanimate objects. It was nothing for him to praise a little girl who was well-behaved and clever.
If they say that the higher-ups want to see her...
He cast his gaze at Leng Lie, looked at him intently for a moment, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Although he is a good person, his family background is too ordinary, and in the eyes of those people, he is not good enough.
Guan Yuxi naturally noticed his gaze, pulled Leng Lie's hand, and frowned, saying, "Can we not go?"
She was neither qualified to approach those powerful figures nor did she intend to expose her wounds to them time and time again.
Secretary Song was slightly surprised, then joked, "Free room and board, all transportation costs included, plus twenty yuan a day for your wages, why aren't you going?"
Such good benefits?
If it were in the past, Guan Yuxi would have been tempted.
This is practically like a free trip with extra pay.
However, having regained her memories, she was no longer interested in the twenty yuan wage.
In the 21st century, you can easily earn over a hundred yuan a day doing any kind of job. Even a laborer on a construction site can earn around three hundred yuan a day!
Even though it was the 1970s and money was valuable, what use was all that money to her?
Of all the things we eat, drink, and use, which ones can we truly enjoy?
"Never mind, I'm busy with my garment factory."
Guan Yuxi shook her head with some regret.
If there's one advantage to this era, it's that many tourist attractions haven't been overdeveloped yet, so going there to feast your eyes should be a good idea.
However, upon further reflection, the lack of development meant a remote and impoverished area, with high mountains and long roads, relying solely on her manual labor. Perhaps it was best to forget about it.
She doesn't have the powerful heart of Xu Xiake, who could survey mountains and rivers.
Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Secretary Song lost his joking mood and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that won't work, you really have to go!"
That's asking too much of anyone!
Guan Yuxi frowned.
However, before she could even speak, Leng Lie couldn't hold back and said coldly, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Are you going to force me to go?"
Secretary Song smiled helplessly and said seriously, "It's not that bad."
However, this is a task assigned to our Hongshi from above.
If I fail to complete it, I'll inevitably face repercussions, and I represent more than just myself..."
Before he could finish speaking, Leng Lie interjected, "Secretary Song is mainly worried about his future prospects being hindered, isn't he?"
Guan Yuxi tugged at his hand and sighed.
Leng Lie looked at her indifferently and said, "It's okay, you can go if you want, or don't if you don't want to."
At worst, we can move to another city. Haven't you always wanted to go to the beach?
Let's move to Haishi.
Secretary Song: "......"
If he hadn't had previous interactions with Leng Lie, he would have almost believed that Leng Lie was a naive fool.
Seeing him with a swollen, purple face, yet still cautiously watching his young wife's expression, there was nothing he couldn't understand.
He suppressed a laugh and said, "If we go somewhere else, people will come to invite us too."
Is it really impossible to refuse?
Guan Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go then!"
Secretary Song was overjoyed. "That's good. Feel free to make any requests you have, and I'll try my best to fulfill them."
"I want 300 yuan a day, that's all."
Guan Yuxi said bluntly.
Secretary Song was stunned.
He was just being polite, and she actually dared to bring it up?
Three hundred yuan a day? She really dares to ask that!
"That's too high, let's change the terms."
Secretary Song rubbed his temples.
Her trip back and forth would take at least half a month. Under what pretext did he get so much money for her?
Guan Yuxi chuckled, "I was even saying I could take this opportunity to make a fortune and pay off the loan."
I never expected Secretary Song to be such a tightwad.
"Then forget it, consider it a favor Secretary Song owes me."
After saying that, she pulled Leng Lie away gracefully, giving him no chance to bargain.
Secretary Song: "......"
The secretary looked at Guan Yuxi with admiration.
