"Honey, I've been too busy before and haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
Qin Zheng took her hand and stood between her and Wu Zhansheng, introducing them in a deep, steady voice: "Old Wu is an old friend of my former boss in the provincial capital. I had a pretty good relationship with my boss. Regarding Xu Jiashen's matter, I called the provincial capital, and they contacted Old Wu to help resolve the issue."
Coincidentally, Ye Yun also found Wu Zhansheng's daughter, Wu Yujun, at the same time.
What a coincidence!
Wu Yujun's bright eyes lingered between Wu Zhansheng and Qin Zheng, marveling at this fate.
Wu Zhansheng smiled kindly and patted Wu Yujun's hand, saying, "Little Jun, do you remember what I told you before, about that brave and invincible transporter under your Uncle Tan? It's him, Qin Zheng."
"I remember! It was him!"
Wu Yujun looked Qin Zheng up and down with surprise and delight, her eyes crinkling with laughter. She teased, "I was wondering who could refuse Uncle Cai's marriage proposal because of other women. Turns out it's because he married my sister Ye Yun. No wonder you can't see anyone else!"
Uncle Cai?
A glint of light flashed in Ye Yun's eyes as she smiled and looked at Qin Zheng.
A faint smile appeared on Qin Zheng's lips as he explained in a low voice, "Old Wu and the others know Cai Manni's father."
Ye Yun understood.
She used to be part of the same social circle, but suddenly she seemed like an outsider.
"Don't mind Ye Yun, I didn't mean to mention Cai Manni. Don't worry, it's not just your man who doesn't like Cai Manni, I don't like her either." Wu Yujun patted her hand reassuringly, afraid that she would overthink things.
She definitely didn't like Cai Manni.
Cai Manni is one of the few people in their circle who has been abroad. She acts like a spoiled princess all the time, always talking about modern women's ideas and looking down on those of them who have always stayed in China and followed the rules.
But who says that only women who have been abroad are considered modern women?
Everyone has a different way of life. There are many women who shine brightly in China, but have they all gone abroad to be exposed to new ideas?
Ye Yun smiled but remained silent.
There's no rule in this world that dictates who stays in the same circle forever. If she wants, she can build her own social circle.
She smiled gently at Wu Yujun, her docile gaze turning to Wu Zhansheng.
"Hello, Mr. Wu."
She was perfectly well-behaved, with a slight curve at the corner of her lips, showing composure and grace.
Qin Zheng also introduced Ye Yun.
Wu Zhansheng nodded in approval.
He had a good impression of Ye Yun because she persuaded Wu Yujun to reconcile with him.
“I had someone investigate Xu Jiashen last night. He’s been causing trouble for a long time. Although I’ve suppressed him this time, he won’t let this go easily. He won’t dare to cause you any big trouble, but there will probably be some minor conflicts. You still need to be careful.”
"Thank you, Mr. Wu. We will keep that in mind." Ye Yun smiled and took the advice to heart.
Wu Zhansheng nodded in satisfaction again.
Ye Yun was neither humble nor arrogant towards him at the beginning, and now she is gentle and sensible, which makes him feel gratified.
His wrinkled eyes looked at Qin Zheng. He pondered for two seconds, then said seriously, "Qin boy, your Uncle Tan and Uncle Cai have been talking about you ever since you left. They wonder what you're doing now?"
“I currently have a position at a construction company in the county, and things are looking up a bit. The main thing is that I can be with my wife.”
“Your Uncle Cai was right when he said you gave up your future for a woman,” Wu Zhansheng said. “However, if it’s the girl next to you, then it’s worth it.”
Qin Zheng thanked him.
Ye Yun also thanked her.
Wu Zhansheng suddenly said, "Qin boy, actually, there's another reason why I came here in person this time."
"Please speak."
"I wonder if you'd be interested in coming here?" Wu Zhansheng revealed his second purpose for coming, and said with a kind smile, "The reason you originally resigned was simply to go home and be with your loved one, and also because the mission was too dangerous, and you were afraid of being killed and leaving your loved one behind. Now that we're living in peace and prosperity, your Uncle Wu here is short-handed. You won't be in any danger if you come. You can just help me train the soldiers and organize things on a daily basis. What do you think?"
He really hoped Qin Zheng could help him.
He also believed that Qin Zheng's unyielding spirit should not be wasted in the treacherous and money-grubbing business world, where he could better unleash his passion on the battlefield.
However.
"No, thank you."
Qin Zheng refused decisively, his eyes always holding a gentle smile.
At the end of my gaze was Ye Yun.
"I'm in a pretty good state right now, enough..."
"But if this happens again, will you still call someone else for help?" Wu Zhansheng interrupted him sternly, saying earnestly, "I admit you are very capable, and Lao Tan thinks highly of you. However, it's better to rely on yourself than others. What will you do if something similar happens again?"
"On the other hand, if you were powerful enough, would this kind of thing still happen?"
"I know you don't want to get involved in complicated interpersonal relationships and want to keep things simple, but you have to remember that life's vicissitudes are sometimes beyond your control; what you can do is make yourself strong and have enough resources and abilities to deal with all unexpected events."
Old ginger is spicier.
No wonder he's lived for decades longer; he always gets straight to the point.
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and remained silent.
A small hand grasped his broad palm and shook it gently. He lifted his eyelids and met Ye Yun's bright, gentle almond-shaped eyes, which held a sense of comfort.
Ye Yun gave him a reassuring look.
Then, she turned to Wu Zhansheng and smiled, "Uncle Wu, it's not good to make decisions lightly. A hasty answer would be disrespectful to you. Why don't you let him think about it carefully before giving you an answer? What do you think?"
"Can."
Her words were comforting, and Wu Zhansheng, not being a stubborn rock, readily agreed.
Wu Zhansheng had lunch at the shop at noon.
Qin Zheng asked Tian Xiaohui to call Gu Jin back to the shop after she returned home. Gu Jin made her signature stewed chicken to treat Wu Zhansheng and his daughter, which earned Wu Zhansheng's praise.
It was probably the first meal after reconciling with his daughter, and Wu Zhansheng ate two bowls of rice.
Xu Jiashen delivered the contract that afternoon.
Ye Yun guessed that the contract arrived so quickly because Wu Zhansheng had been here all along.
Ye Yun carefully examined the contract, making sure to read every single clause and provision.
Wu Zhansheng said, “Don’t worry, with me here, he won’t dare to secretly comply and tamper with things at the top, unless he really wants to lose his current position and become a homeless stray dog.”
"Or, you might not even be able to be a dog."
Domineering.
Ye Yun smiled.
"Since you say so, I believe you." With a wave of her hand, she neatly signed her name at the end of the contract.
...
The next day.
The garment factory operated as usual, the pastry shop was open as normal, and the construction company where Qin Zheng worked also returned to normal. Everything returned to normal as expected.
Ye Yun also went to Lantian Garment Factory.
Xu Jiashen did not tamper with the contract regarding the garment factory that he reluctantly gave away to her. Instead, he subtly expressed his resentment and anger in every aspect of the factory.
