Xiao Zhao led Sun Jiancheng, who was so dizzy from the beating that he couldn't find his way around, out of the way. He saw Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli standing not far away, each covering one of the children's eyes. Their eyes were bright and piercing, clearly indicating that they had watched the whole thing—the mixed doubles beating between Cuihua and her father.
Xiao Zhao was completely numb.
well.
Isn't it strange? Whenever something big happens, this couple is always there watching the show.
I wonder if they have some kind of radar that senses the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) on them.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Zhao asked with a look of utter despair.
"I came to town on business, but I didn't expect to run into your men following the Party Secretary, so we..."
There was no need to spell it out; Xiao Zhao already understood the meaning.
He nodded helplessly, "Alright, this matter is more than half resolved, all that's left is to interrogate this beast!"
When he said the word "beast," Xiao Zhao couldn't help but kick Sun Jiancheng, his voice filled with ferocity.
Xiao Zhao left quickly, and Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli silently glanced at the father and daughter again.
Cuihua's father had seen his share of ups and downs and was still able to hold on. He managed a weak smile at Jiang Ci, thanked her for her suggestion, and said that they were not in a good mood right now and probably couldn't say anything to them.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli understood, so they didn't say anything more, only said goodbye, and quickly left.
Just like Xiao Zhao said, as long as we have evidence that Sun Jiancheng murdered the infants, we'll have solved most of the problem. The next step is to see how the Public Security Bureau will investigate.
Surely Deputy Director Chen can't be so clueless as to whether the dead child was Wang Zhaodi's or Zhao Cuihua's?
Of course, this had nothing to do with Jiang Ci. Zhou Mingli rode his bicycle back to the town hospital with her and the two children. He took the medicine and rode his bicycle back home with a clang.
Apart from some daily work, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli seemed to be isolated from the outside world in Shanding Brigade, and their lives were quite peaceful.
A nationwide, large-scale movement began during these peaceful days.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli were just ordinary people at the time, and they couldn't yet feel the changes brought about by the impending storm. When they went to the cowshed again, they found that Liu San was gone.
Other relevant staff took over and began to re-examine the backgrounds of Shen Conghe and Cheng Yehan.
There was no use for Jiang Ci here. After questioning the couple, they were told to leave as soon as possible.
Jiang Ci glanced inside but didn't see Shen Conghe and Cheng Yehan. She didn't dwell on it and quickly left with Zhou Mingli.
...
Beijing City.
Li Ailian had just returned home from school when the postman came to deliver mail.
"Teacher Li! There's a letter for you!"
Li Ailian received the letter, smiled at the postman, and said, "Thank you."
"Don't mention it, I'm leaving now!"
Li Ailian returned home with the letter and saw another bicycle parked in the yard, knowing that Cheng Wenyun had arrived.
"Huasheng, are you and Wenyun talking inside?" Li Ailian asked, raising her voice.
"Hey! Auntie, it's me!"
It was Cheng Wenyun's voice.
"Okay, you guys go first, I'll go cook. Wenyun will eat at home today."
Cheng Wenyun responded again.
The situation in Beijing has been quite turbulent lately, with changes happening everywhere. Cheng Wenyun has been busy following his superiors, and now that he finally has a break, he immediately rushes to the Cheng family home to talk to his uncle.
Cheng Wenyun said in a low voice, "We can start preparing to bring Grandpa back. I have prepared all the documents. When the time is right, I will submit the documents, and Dad and Second Uncle's innocence will be restored."
Cheng Huasheng rubbed his face, hiding his excitement and tears, "And your mother, your second aunt, and your grandmother."
Cheng Wenyun's expression turned serious. "I know everything."
“I’ll send a telegram over there today, asking Lao Zhou and Jiang Ci to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing happens to the old man.” Cheng Huasheng glanced at Cheng Wenyun. “And while you’re at it, bring back the ashes of your parents, your second uncle, your second aunt, and your grandmother.”
Cheng Wenyun continued to nod. The uncle and nephew finished discussing the matter, and Li Ailian said it was time to eat.
Today, Li Ailian stewed fish, and Cheng Wenyun praised her with a smile, "Auntie's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Li Ailian laughed and said, "I learned it from Zhou Mingli. He makes delicious fish, so I asked him how he does it."
Mentioning Zhou Mingli reminded Cheng Huasheng of him, and he said to Cheng Wenyun, "Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli are husband and wife. I asked Shaojun to help me transfer their household registration and grain ration to the capital."
Given Cheng Shaojun's current position, it would be very easy for him to do so.
"Zhou Mingli's cooking skills are quite good. I remember when you came last time, you mentioned that two of your kitchen helpers got into a fight over the head chef's position, and both of them stopped working. Have you found someone yet?"
“How can it be so fast? Everyone else is trying to get their own relatives in too. The HR department is very strict and doesn’t allow hiring people randomly.” Cheng Wenyun took a bite of rice and said, “This month, HR sent up a document saying they want to gather all the people who want to be kitchen helpers together for a competition, and let the head chefs choose whoever has the best cooking skills.”
Cheng Wenyun said, "When you send the telegram, you can ask if they can come in November. If they are late, they will miss their chance."
Cheng Huasheng laughed and said, "Okay, I'll send a telegram over in a bit."
When Li Ailian heard that Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli could come to Beijing, her face lit up with joy. "It would be best if they could come as soon as possible. By the way, if Zhou Mingli can work as a kitchen helper, he'll be considered a full-time employee. Does your company provide housing?"
Cheng Wenyun thought about it carefully and said, "There are some, but he just arrived and doesn't have any seniority. I haven't checked if our unit has any extra housing available. If he can get in, I'll go and inquire."
Li Ailian and Cheng Huasheng both nodded in agreement.
Cheng Wenyun asked Cheng Huasheng, "Jiang Ci's husband has been given a job, but what about Jiang Ci?"
He had heard of this person's name very much.
To be honest, Cheng Wenyun really wanted to meet Jiang Ci. She could come and go in the cowshed without being suspected, and she even helped Battalion Commander Zhou discover his wife's dirty deeds. Even her uncle and aunt praised her. If it happened once or twice, it would be fine, but if this happened repeatedly, it would prove that Jiang Ci was definitely not a simple person. Cheng Wenyun became even more curious.
"This is not something that can be arranged casually. With her abilities and methods, I think she is quite suitable to be a leader."
Her organizational and analytical skills are top-notch.
Cheng Huasheng felt that it was a waste of her talents to have her do small chores.
But nowadays, every factory's junior leaders have all worked their way up from the bottom. How can we let Jiangci just parachute in and make her a leader?
