Before Du Heng could finish speaking, Su Su interrupted him, her eyes filled with extreme impatience.
"Shut your mouth! If you don't want to die at Jiang Wanqing's hands, you'll listen to me from now on!"
"you……"
"Alright, I don't want to waste my breath on you. You'll find out later. Otherwise, why do you think I'd be willing to marry you? It's all about mutual benefit."
Su Su's attitude was too arrogant. Du Heng had never been treated like this before. He felt a lump in his throat, unable to swallow it. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He turned to look at her, and just as he opened his mouth, she threw a clipped document at him.
"Don't bother me, I'm tired from the car ride, take a rest, and look at it yourself!"
Her tone remained unchanged; her marriage to him was neither out of love nor out of necessity. Perhaps, as she said, it was for profit, and she knew in her heart whose profit it was for.
Du Heng gritted his teeth. Her attitude was too arrogant. He picked up the papers and opened them.
After reading the above, his eyes widened involuntarily. A car passed by in front of him, and he made a sharp turn, barely managing to keep his balance.
Su Su had just closed her eyes when she was suddenly jolted awake, frowning and turning her head.
"Can't you drive properly?!"
"Um...where did you get this?" Du Heng's hand trembled as he held the document, immediately swerving the car. "How could you come up with such an amazing design?"
"What? Jiang Wanqing can do it, but I can't?"
"Uh...that's not what I meant, it's just that you..."
"Enough with the nonsense! Give it back if you don't want it!"
Su Su reached out to snatch the document, but Du Heng gripped it tightly, so she simply tossed it under her buttocks and sat down.
"I want it! This is just in time!"
She snorted. There were too many theoretical things she didn't understand, but her two lives were enough for her to review the lessons of her previous failures and make her take more actions to deal with Jiang Wanqing. The design drawings in this document were one of them.
Furthermore, now that we've entered the era of reform and opening up, there will only be more and more talented people. Money makes the world go round. If she comes up with an idea, someone will naturally draw up a plan for her. It's only a matter of time before Jiang Wanqing is completely blocked and crushed!
Du Heng dared not disturb Su Su's rest any longer. He swallowed hard, his heart pounding, and he felt as if he were sitting on a giant furnace.
He had to thank his parents for this arranged marriage; unexpectedly, it brought him a glimmer of hope! Su Su must be a savior sent by heaven!
...
"yawn!"
After returning to the southwest, Jiang Wanqing suffered from a severe cold, which took about a week to gradually recover. It truly lived up to the old saying, "Illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is like pulling silk from a cocoon."
As the date for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new factory drew closer, she became a little anxious.
Just as she was about to lift the covers and get out of bed, Cheng Ran suddenly came over and pressed her back down.
"Where are you going again? Your cold is only a little better, so behave yourself."
He pretended to be serious. Jiang Wanqing pursed her lips and obediently lay down. He picked up a spoon, held up the porcelain bowl, and fed her the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
"You've missed several days of work because of me. I'm almost better now. Go to work. Don't let being with me affect your work."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't missed any work. Don't overthink it. It's just a few days off, it's nothing."
"No, you'll have to go to work tomorrow!"
Cheng Ran looked at her, and she took the bowl and spoon from his hand, drank the medicine in a few gulps, and turned the bowl upside down.
"Look, I can take care of myself. I'm not a child."
He took a deep breath, and seeing her resolute attitude, he felt somewhat helpless, but knowing her personality, he simply ruffled her hair.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll try to come back to be with you as soon as possible. I'm going to work. You can't sneak out to work by yourself, or you'll get sick again..."
"I know, I know. I value my life. I still need to bring my parents and daughter over. I won't exhaust myself."
She looks so obedient and docile now, but Cheng Ran has no idea what she's thinking.
He sighed softly, got up from the edge of the bed, and took the bowl away.
Jiang Wanqing watched his retreating figure, tucked the blanket around herself, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was going to work, and she could still do some work.
The next day, Cheng Ran left breakfast for Jiang Wanqing and went to the military region.
I had just entered the office and made myself a cup of tea to wake myself up when there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
"Commander Cheng, I need to speak with you."
It was Du Ming who knocked on the door. He walked in with a leave application form in his hand, looking somewhat reserved.
"What's up?"
"I……"
Because of Du Heng's situation, Du Ming now feels somewhat awkward around Cheng Ran, unlike before when he was more casual. He remains respectful, but his fear has also increased.
"Commander, I'd like to... ask for a day off, just for tomorrow."
Cheng Ran frowned and reached out: "Let me see this. What is it? Is it urgent?"
"Um... I... my brother is taking my future sister-in-law home to meet my parents, and I need to be there too, so I have to go back. Please grant me permission, Commander!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran's eyes flickered.
"Your brother...is getting married?"
This was good news for Cheng Ran, and he immediately picked up a pen to sign the leave application form.
"Yes, my future sister-in-law is also from Beijing. She runs a pastry factory there."
To convince Cheng Ran, Du Ming revealed some information, but his words caused Cheng Ran to pause in his actions.
"She runs a pastry factory in Beijing. What's her surname?"
"ah?"
Du Ming was stunned, scratching his head. Was this information required to apply for leave?
"Can't I say? Then forget it..."
