Chapter 397 Zhizhi, I'm back
Shang Shang spoke too quickly and was a little unclear, so Shang Shiying didn't hear her clearly. She could only hear her father and looked at Fang Hua with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
Fang Hua couldn't hold back any longer and took the dumplings from Shang Shiying's hand: "Xi Ye is back..."
...
Jiang Zhizhi came out of the laboratory and walked outside with Jin Huaiying.
Jin Huaiying sighed: "Liao Guoqing has become a bit arrogant lately, bringing in another student. Then there will be one more person on the list of experimenters. But you are the one who did most of these experiments."
"This is the very issue I wanted to address in today's meeting. Why won't you let me speak?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Teacher Jin, as you said, he was sent by the Ministry of Health. The leaders at today's meeting are also from the Ministry of Health. It's no use for us to say anything. On the contrary, it will only arouse Liao Guoqing's vigilance."
"Let's not rush things. There will always be a time when Liao Guoqing will suffer the consequences."
Jin Huaiying was naturally anxious: "These people just look down on you because you're young and a woman, yet they expect you to achieve something. If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have started this project."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and comforted Jin Huaiying: "Teacher, don't worry. What was the original intention of setting up this project? As long as the drug can pass the test and be successfully launched, nothing else matters."
As for Liao Guoqing, how could she not be angry? But now, Liao Guoqing is also useful to the lab, because with him around, the approval of some projects and funding is indeed faster.
Moreover, out of fear of the Zhou family, Liao Guoqing did not dare to claim all the credit for himself. Each time he signed his name, in order to be fair, he was ranked according to the number of strokes in his surname. Liao Guoqing's surname had more strokes, so he did not gain any advantage.
Therefore, Jiang Zhizhi is not in a hurry. She will wait another two years until the social situation is better before trying to get Liao Guoqing out of the game.
But now, it's nothing more than a game of mutual exploitation.
Jin Huaiying felt that it was already unfair that Liao Guoqing took a share of the credit that originally belonged to Jiang Zhizhi, and now they had brought in another student.
Jiang Zhizhi comforted Jin Huaiying for a few words before riding her bicycle away from the school. To her surprise, she saw Jiang Donghua at the school gate.
Jiang Donghua entered the school in a hurry and did not see Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi was momentarily distracted when she saw Jiang Donghua, knowing that he had signed up for the Yunnan medical team.
Seeing this person suddenly reminded me of Zhou Xiye, and my eyes darkened.
As they approached the compound, they ran into Sun Xiaoyue again. The last time they saw Sun Xiaoyue was a year ago when she asked them to help her with an abortion.
Then, for the rest of the year, she neither saw Sun Xiaoyue nor heard any news about her. When she went to see Jiang Zhenhua, he wouldn't mention her.
Jiang Zhizhi was puzzled. How could she have met Jiang Donghua and now she was seeing Sun Xiaoyue so soon? It was quite a coincidence.
Sun Xiaoyue reached out and stopped Jiang Zhizhi's car: "I waited for you here specifically because I have something to tell you."
Jiang Zhizhi knew she wasn't up to anything, so she stopped the car and glared at her, saying, "Get out of the way!"
Sun Xiaoyue was indignant: "Jiang Zhizhi, you're a widow now, what are you so arrogant about? I just want to ask you, does the Zhou family forbid you from remarrying?"
Jiang Zhizhi was utterly baffled: "Are you sick? I'll count to three, and if you don't move aside, I'll hit you!"
Sun Xiaoyue raised her chin, a hint of arrogance in her voice: "You dare..."
As soon as she and Jiang Zhizhi uttered those three words at the same time, she was slapped across the face.
Sun Xiaoyue covered her face, looking at Jiang Zhizhi in disbelief: "You said to count to three, how come you started with three right away?"
Jiang Zhizhi ignored her and nudged her with her bicycle. The wheel grazed her pants, leaving a gray mark: "Serves you right."
After saying that, he pushed his bicycle and left!
Sun Xiaoyue covered her burning face and turned to watch Jiang Zhizhi leave.
He stared intently at Jiang Zhizhi's back, wishing he could bore two holes through it.
She originally wanted to come and brag to Jiang Zhizhi that Jiang Donghua had returned. Unexpectedly, after being away for more than a year, he returned with a promotion and became the vice president of the hospital in charge of logistics.
For Jiang Donghua, who had previously been unable to make a name for himself, this was a meteoric rise to prominence.
It is said that Jiang Donghua was promoted exceptionally because he made meritorious contributions on the border.
Sun Xiaoyue didn't care how much merit Jiang Donghua earned; she only knew that managing logistics was lucrative. At the very least, she wouldn't have to worry about rice, flour, or oil.
She originally planned to bring up divorce when Jiang Donghua came back, but now that Jiang Donghua has been promoted, she definitely won't get a divorce. Not only will she not get a divorce, but she'll also come to Jiang Zhizhi to show off.
Who would have thought that instead of showing off, he would get slapped by Jiang Zhizhi!
Sun Xiaoyue was furious, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn't beat Jiang Zhizhi!
On second thought, Jiang Zhizhi was just a widow, what was so special about her?
...
Jiang Zhizhi pushed her stroller into the courtyard and ran into several neighbors, who all smiled at her and congratulated her.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and agreed, still a little puzzled as to why she was suddenly being congratulated.
How could these aunties know about what happened in the lab?
Jiang Zhizhi returned home full of suspicion. She didn't hear the two children chattering when she entered the yard. The yard was quiet, and the house was also quiet.
She didn't think much of it, figuring that Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang might have been taken away by Zhuang Qin or Shang Shiying again.
There was no one in the living room. Jiang Zhizhi was puzzled that even Sister Chen wasn't home. She went back to her bedroom to change her clothes, washed her hands, checked the time, and decided to go pick up her two children.
As she stepped out of the living room, a question suddenly dawned on her: when she went into the bedroom earlier, there seemed to be a military-style briefcase near the desk.
This didn't happen before; she wouldn't leave a bag unpacked.
Before Jiang Zhizhi could figure it out, she heard Shang Shang chattering away, her sentences slurred and incoherent, yet she kept talking nonstop.
It was accompanied from time to time by a few low voices.
That sound...
Jiang Zhizhi stood frozen at the doorway as if struck by lightning.
With wide eyes and holding her breath, she stared at the gate, watching the familiar figure carrying her daughter and leading her son into the yard.
Little Zhou Ji was still trying to take steps, swinging one little arm and shouting, "One, two, one..."
Shang Shang had already spotted Jiang Zhizhi and excitedly called out, "Mommy, Mommy, look! There's a daddy... there's a daddy..."
In my haste, I became somewhat incoherent and didn't even know what I was trying to say.
Jiang Zhizhi stared at Zhou Xiye, afraid to breathe or blink, as if she were hallucinating!
Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, blurring his vision and making Zhou Xiye's vision blur as well...
Even so, she didn't dare blink or wipe her tears, afraid that Zhou Xiye would disappear if she blinked.
Zhou Xiye, carrying Shang Shang and leading Xiao Zhouji, walked up to Jiang Zhizhi, his voice hoarse and filled with heartache: "Zhizhi, I'm back..."
