After saying goodbye to the Cheng family, Jiang Ci rode her bicycle to the Huo family.
The two places are quite far apart. It took Jiangci almost an hour and a half to ride his bicycle to Kyoto University.
Jiang Ci looked around, found the road, and walked in the direction of the small Western-style buildings.
She remembered that the Huo family lived here, but she didn't specifically remember which house it was. She only remembered that the Huo family's courtyard wall was covered with roses.
Jiang Ci went to look for them one by one.
Suddenly, she met a pair of eyes.
Calm, cold, and sharp, as if he knew everything, he looked down at her with the superior air of someone in a position of absolute authority.
These are the same eyes that almost caught her yesterday afternoon.
It's as if you're seeing a stranger; you don't bother to find out who they are or what kind of person they are.
Jiang Ci calmly looked away.
Continue pushing the bicycle forward.
Guo Zhen turned his gaze away from Jiang Ci and said to his secretary, "Send the documents over first, and have someone prepare for a meeting later."
"OK."
The secretary left quickly.
Guo Zhen stood in the courtyard for a while, then frowned.
For some reason, the woman who had just passed by gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Last night?
No.
The woman last night was wearing a cashmere coat, so she must be well-off. The woman who just passed by was dressed very plainly, with nothing special about her…
He frowned, turned around, and went back.
"Mr. Guo..."
A charming female voice came from inside the room.
If Jiang Ci were here, she would definitely be able to tell who the female voice came from.
Liu Yinyin.
She stayed here last night.
Of course, Jiang Ci had no idea that Liu Yinyin, who had driven her to desperation, was right next door, just a wall away.
She walked away calmly, her expression shifting unpredictably after she found out where the Huo family was.
Guo Zhen lives so close to the Huo family!
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ci suppressed her emotions, rubbed her cheeks, adjusted her facial expression, and then walked forward.
She carried gifts and knocked on the Huo family's door.
The woman who opened the door looked to be in her forties, with gentle eyes and brows, and she seemed somewhat familiar.
"Is this Huo Jing, Academician Huo's home?" Jiang Ci asked politely.
The woman nodded, looking at Jiang Ci with a puzzled expression. "You are...?"
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Jiang Ci. I visited your home before with Mr. Cheng Yehan."
Upon hearing the name Jiang Ci, the woman looked at her with surprise and delight, "I know you!"
Isn't this the Mr. Cheng that her father mentioned was the woman he was talking about for his son?
The woman looked at her subtly.
He was very tall, almost a head taller than her, probably 1.7 meters. He was tall and slender, with bright, clear, and beautiful eyes that were incredibly focused when he looked at people.
Jiang Ci always had a smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, she wore a hat on her head, and she carried a faint scent of face cream.
The woman immediately welcomed her in, "Please come in!"
“My father-in-law mentioned you before, saying that your English is very good, and my son even said he wanted to recommend you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Auntie, that's why I came here."
The woman was surprised for a moment, but her hand had already opened the door, leading her into the living room.
There are several people sitting in the living room right now.
"Aunt Jiang!"
Before Jiang Ci could even see who was sitting inside, she heard a loud "Aunt Jiang!"
The next second, a little boy who wasn't very tall but had a gentle appearance jumped out in front of Jiang Ci.
"Shen Ting?!" Jiang Ci was shocked.
When I looked up again, I was even more shocked.
Tao Susu and Shen Conghe were standing in the living room, looking at her with the same expression!
Tao Susu rushed over in surprise and hugged Jiang Ci tightly. "Xiao Ci!? It really is you!"
Jiang Ci couldn't help but smile genuinely and hugged Tao Susu, "How did you two end up here?"
The two let go of each other, and Tao Susu then took the woman's arm, smiling broadly, "This is my sister! We just returned to Beijing not long ago, so we came to see her!"
Hobbens' mother's surname was Tao. Although there was a seven-year age difference, Mrs. Tao and Tao Susu were sisters.
Jiang Ci murmured, "I was wondering why this auntie looked so familiar. Sister Susu, you and your sister really look alike!"
Mrs. Tao suddenly became conflicted.
Jiang Ci calls Su Su "sister" and calls her "auntie".
Should she try to get Jiang Ci to change her mind?
But if Jiang Ci calls himself "sister," then Ben Si would have to call Jiang Ci "aunt."
Isn't this messing up the generational hierarchy?
Mrs. Tao, despite her pain, didn't let Jiang Ci change her address and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! Please sit down!"
Mrs. Tao gestured for them to sit down and went to make some hot milk tea.
"This is a new tea recipe I learned. I boil fresh milk and then steep it to make black tea. It's very warming," Mrs. Tao said with a smile, pouring a cup for each person.
Shen Ting sat obediently next to Tao Susu, took the warm cup with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Xiao Ci, how do you know about my brother-in-law's family?" Tao Susu sat next to Jiang Ci and couldn't help but ask.
There was nothing to hide, Jiang Ci said directly, “Mr. Cheng brought me here some time ago, and I chatted with Mr. Huo for a few minutes.”
Shen Conghe had told Tao Susu about what happened in the cowshed. She also knew that Jiang Ci had saved Mr. Cheng's life, and it was only right for the Cheng family to help Jiang Ci.
"Is it for...work?" Shen Conghe pushed up his glasses and asked.
Jiang Ci smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Tao Susu nodded. Jiang Ci was indeed having a hard time surviving in Beijing without a job; having a job would be the best thing.
How about she goes to the hospital to see if there are any clerical jobs available, and recommends Jiang Ci?
Tao Susu thought her idea was great and was eager to try it out.
Jiang Ci looked around and asked, "Is Mr. Huo not home today?"
Mrs. Tao turned to Jiang Ci and said, "My father-in-law is giving a lecture at Peking University. He's gone there. Xiao Ci, what do you need him for?"
Her voice was quite kind.
Jiang Ci said, "I was accepted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday, and I will report to the Protocol Department the day after tomorrow. Last time I came here with Mr. Cheng, Mr. Huo gave me a fish. I thought I should tell Mr. Huo, so I came here."
If Mrs. Tao initially thought Jiang Ci was an easy-going and kind girl, now she wished she could grab Jiang Ci's hand and say directly, "Be my daughter-in-law! You'll marry Xiao Si right now!"
This girl is amazing!
They actually got into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!
Moreover, she also knew that Xiao Si's recommendation was completely useless. This girl was able to get the job from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which probably was something she earned herself. What does that prove?
Jiangci is capable!
Extremely capable!
How wonderful it would be if this kind of daughter-in-law and her husband could join forces, support each other, and go further together in the future!
Mrs. Tao's eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Ci.
The kind that's buling and buling.
