Chapter 512 One After Another
Zhou Xiye's ability to process information was still very strong. Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's suddenly sharp gaze, he reached out and took her hand: "If Chu Fenghe is that person, don't be anxious."
"Such a person is meticulous and will not be easy for others to find a flaw in.
"You must not provoke him. His appearance in Beijing at this time is definitely not a simple matter."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I know, I ignored him. I also suspect that these recent events are related to Chu Fenghe."
"Of course, that's assuming he is the traitor."
Zhou Xiye recalled his conversation with Chu Fenghe that day: "If he were, he would definitely test you too, so you must be careful."
Jiang Zhizhi lay down on the bed: "If he dares to show up, then we'll wait and see. We don't know who's outsmarting whom."
Without trust, Chu Fenghe can forget about getting close to him.
The two talked about this until midnight, sharing their analyses with each other.
Zhou Xiye was even more puzzled about Chu Fenghe's purpose in appearing in Beijing and at the laboratory at this time.
Jiang Zhizhi was already a little sleepy, and mumbled, "He's used to being a traitor, his kneecaps are soft, he's spineless no matter where he goes, the lab must have something he wants."
Zhou Xiye decided to have someone thoroughly investigate Chu Fenghe, including his activities in Shanghai.
...
The next morning, Jiang Zhizhi woke up to find it was drizzling outside.
After a rain, a layer of bluish-green sprouted from the base of the wall.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi get up, Fang Hua smiled and said, "It's raining. Our little Zhou Ji and Shang Shang are going to have a tough time."
The two children, who love to go out for a stroll every day, can't stay still at home.
Especially for little Zhouji, the two floors upstairs and downstairs can't release his energy, so he has to run around like a little calf for a while.
The two children are the most distressed because they can't go out when it rains.
Shangshang came over and hugged her mother's leg: "Mommy, Shangshang will accompany you to work. Shangshang loves Mommy."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and picked up Shangshang: "You little girl, do you want to go out and play with Mommy? We can't play where Mommy works. You and your brother can stay home and play with Grandma, okay?"
Shang Shang pouted unhappily: "I miss Mommy, I want to go with Mommy."
Jiang Zhizhi stopped trying to comfort her and carried her to the dining table: "Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang, can they go to the daycare in the yard?"
Fang Hua nodded: "It's okay to go, there are babies inside who are a few months old."
Parents are always busy, and when there's no one to look after the children, they send them to daycare.
However, the nursery in the compound is very well-equipped, with excellent food. Two caregivers look after seven or eight children, and they provide milk powder and eggs.
Adults may not be able to eat meat at every meal, but children in daycare eat meat every day.
Jiang Zhizhi suggested, "No, let's send Shangshang and Xiao Zhouji to daycare too."
Zhou Chengyu laughed: "Let's not cause trouble for the daycare. Our little Zhouji will need an aunt to look after him, otherwise he'll get lost in no time."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at her chubby-cheeked son and said, "He just lacks a sense of teamwork. Maybe sending him to daycare would be better."
Fang Hua was reluctant: "Although the nursery in our compound is very good, there are still some areas that it can't take care of. Your aunt and I are just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, so let us take care of it."
Zhou Chengyu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we'll decide. We'll send them to kindergarten when they're four or five years old."
Jiang Zhizhi only said it on a whim, thinking that the two children were getting older and more energetic, which would be too much of a burden on Grandma.
Shangshang understood: "Shangshang is going to school, Shangshang is going to daycare."
Fang Hua smiled and tapped Shang Shang's nose: "Our Shang Shang is not even three years old yet. Let's wait until she's three to go, okay?"
Shang Shang was easily fooled and nodded, "Okay."
While we were chatting at home, Shang Shiying hurried over with an umbrella. As she entered, she put the umbrella away and said, "Oh dear, you haven't left yet? Did you hear? Someone died on the hill behind the house last night."
Fang Hua exclaimed, "Who is it? What's going on?"
Shang Shiying shook her head: "I don't know. I heard about it when I took Luojia to the broadcasting station. Right now, the police are all on the mountain, and the guards at both the front and back gates of the compound have been strengthened."
Speaking of the past, he patted Xiao Zhouji's head and then Shang Shang's head: "You two always get up early every day."
Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi were even more curious about the fact that someone had died.
Zhou Xiye was surprised: "There's a military-controlled area behind the mountain. Was it discovered inside or outside?"
Shang Shiying wasn't sure either: "It should be outside. If it were inside, our courtyard wouldn't be so peaceful. I heard it was an old man who died."
Upon hearing the word "old man," Jiang Zhizhi looked at Zhou Xiye in surprise.
Zhou Xiye stood up: "I'll go out and take a look."
Jiang Zhizhi also wanted to go, but she was too late for work and could only wait until she got back in the evening to hear what Zhou Xiye had to say.
...
When Jiang Zhizhi arrived at the office, as expected, the thermos flask was already filled with boiling water.
Xiao Zhang smiled and handed a can of tea to Jiang Zhizhi, saying, "Team Leader Chu delivered it early this morning, saying one can for each office. It's Taiping Houkui, good tea."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and didn't take the tea canister: "I don't want it, I'll just drink plain water."
Xiao Zhang didn't think much of it, since Jiang Zhizhi usually liked to drink plain water.
"It's raining today, and there's not much to do in the lab. Team Leader Chu suggested we go out for braised pork offal outside the school gate for lunch. Professor Jiang, do you want to come?"
Jiang Zhizhi initially wanted to shake her head, but then she thought that refusing too many times would only arouse Chu Fenghe's suspicion.
He nodded with a smile: "Okay, but I'll treat you today. Team Leader Chu has treated us many times before."
Xiao Zhang laughed: "Then we are so lucky to have such great leaders who always take us out to eat delicious food."
The rain lessened a bit around noon, and Jiang Zhizhi, Chu Fenghe, and seven or eight colleagues went to the entrance to eat braised pork offal.
As soon as Jiang Zhizhi entered the store, she rushed to pay the money and pay for the food coupons.
Chu Fenghe sighed helplessly, then sat down and smiled, "Teacher Jiang treated us today, so next time I'll treat everyone to Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste)."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "It's okay."
After chatting with Jiang Zhizhi for a few minutes, Chu Fenghe turned to the others and asked if they had any difficulties, whether at work or in their lives.
Chu Fenghe has been very approachable these past few days, so people have become bolder when speaking to him.
"Team Leader Chu, there are no difficulties with our work, but could the unit also help us with our housing needs?"
"Yes, yes, yes, our family of five is currently crammed into a single-story house, and we really need a house."
"I'm getting married soon, but I don't know where I'll live after the wedding."
Chu Fenghe listened attentively, then nodded and said seriously, "This is indeed a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Only when you have no worries in your lives can you devote yourself wholeheartedly to your work."
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle this!"
