Cheng Ran didn't answer his question. After all, neither a good nor a bad answer would be a wise one, and he certainly couldn't tell him what had happened last night.
Although he didn't say it, Hung Hing still caught the relaxed look on his face.
"Hehe, it seems that Sister Lan's method is somewhat effective. Your sister-in-law is the key to your success, Battalion Commander."
"You're getting bolder and bolder!"
Cheng Ran pointed at him and shouted, his tone unreadable, though not loud, but still intimidating. He immediately dropped his playful demeanor and straightened his expression.
"I won't do it again!"
"You said the same thing last time." Cheng Ran snorted, not dwelling on the matter any further, and instead said, "Let's get down to business. What do you want so early in the morning?"
Reminded by him, Hung Hing remembered what he really came to inform him, and his expression became even more serious.
"Reporting, Battalion Commander! The higher-ups request your presence in their office."
Cheng Ran wasn't surprised. During his months of recuperation, his superiors had frequently sent people to visit and offer their condolences. He guessed that some matters couldn't be delayed any longer and required his presence for discussion and decision-making...
"Okay, I understand. Push me over there."
To outsiders, his leg injury had not yet healed, and he was a cripple, so he could not walk over by himself.
"clear!"
Hung Hing was quick-witted; he immediately pushed the wheelchair over and took him out.
As I left the family compound, many people watched, some with regret, others with other feelings.
"Battalion Commander Cheng's leg is still not healed, and it's almost autumn. Sigh, it's not easy for him."
"I heard the higher-ups have already made a decision... Is it true?"
"Let's not gossip about this, or we might implicate our own partners. Let's go, let's go do what we need to do."
Women of these identities possess a greater sensitivity than others and never linger on sensitive topics.
Aunt Liu sat on a bench in front of her house, cracking sunflower seeds, and scoffed.
"Just wait, you'll be able to fawn over me the same way you fawn over those two!"
"yawn!"
As soon as Jiang Wanqing arrived at school, she sneezed loudly. She wiped her nose with a handkerchief, thinking that she must have caught a cold from playing too much last night.
Without thinking too much about it, she figured she couldn't be late for work, so she picked up her bag and headed to the teacher's office.
Several teachers were already inside. She greeted them and settled into her workstation.
A female teacher wearing a floral dress walked over, with a retro red headband on her head and her braid tied to the side.
"Teacher Jiang, do you know that male teacher who joined the company with you yesterday?"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wanqing thought she was going to say something, but the other woman smiled shyly and shook her head.
"Nothing much, I just think he's a really nice person. If you're not interested, I'll make my move. I saw you two getting quite close yesterday, so..."
What? !
These words stunned Jiang Wanqing. She wanted to say, "Sister, you must be hungry. You'll look at anything."
But the words were on the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed them back, only managing a dry laugh after much deliberation before replying.
"You've misunderstood. I'm not familiar with him, but I advise you not to get any ideas. He has..."
"Good morning, Teacher Yuan."
Before Jiang Wanqing could finish speaking, the sharp-eyed female teacher spotted Yuan Zhong entering and waved to greet him.
The other person gave her a gentlemanly nod, kept his distance, and sat down at his desk, but his eyes were always glued to Jiang Wanqing.
He overheard their conversation and thought she wouldn't give up on him so easily, which was why she wouldn't let other women get close to him. Humph, all women are the same; they can be unrestrained when they need to be reserved, and reserved when they need to be outgoing. But it did catch his attention.
As soon as the school bell rang, Jiang Wanqing went to class according to the schedule.
The first class went smoothly; the students were quite cooperative, and her innovative teaching methods won their favor on the first day. They even lingered, not wanting her to leave the get out of class.
"Teacher Jiang, will you teach us again next class? We like you and want to hear your lectures."
"Yes, Teacher Jiang, you smell so good and you're so pretty. I wish all teachers were like you."
The children spoke without restraint, saying whatever came to mind. Jiang Wanqing was pleased but dared not be unrestrained, as there were other teachers who had to take over the class.
"Alright kids, if you like my class, you can continue tomorrow, but other subjects are also important. You can't neglect any subject, okay?"
She gently coaxed the children, finally getting them to return to their seats quietly and obediently.
She bumped into Yuan Zhong as soon as she stepped out of the classroom. She didn't even bother to look at him and was about to leave when he blocked her way.
"You still have feelings for me, right?"
She frowned, feeling both disgusted and confused.
"You're so shameless! A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way!"
"Wanqing, don't deny it. This morning you stopped another female teacher from pursuing me, and now you're going overtime to see me. Doesn't that count?"
He reached out to pull her, and Jiang Wanqing dodged to the side, but he still accidentally touched her sleeve.
A student, hiding behind the door, witnessed this scene, covered his mouth, and his big eyes were filled with surprise.
"You really are sick. The reason the class went overtime is because the kids like me. What does it have to do with you? You're shameless and prone to delusions. You're a complete lunatic!"
"The next class is mine, you know that."
He firmly believed that everything she did was for him, and even thought that she had been playing hard to get before.
Seeing his expression of pure enjoyment, Jiang Wanqing covered her mouth, almost vomiting.
"I really didn't know. If I had known, I would have asked the principal to reschedule my classes. After all, being in the same space as you has polluted the air, and I'm afraid I'll get sick!"
"you……"
"Also, stopping the female teacher from pursuing you isn't for your sake, but to prevent that kind-hearted teacher from being deceived by you, you bastard. Stop trying to glorify yourself, understand?"
Jiang Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, making no attempt to hide her contempt, disdain, and disdain.
The school bell rang again, and thankfully he didn't catch up. Jiang Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the end of the day, she didn't feel tired at all. This amount of elementary school teaching was a piece of cake for her. So while other teachers were worrying about the schedule for the rest of the day, she had already packed up and left work.
The advantage of leaving get off work early is that you won't run into that crazy couple, Yuan Zhong and Jiang Xiu.
However, even if you escape them, you might still run into another annoying person.
Qiao Xuemei was waiting for her at the entrance of the family compound again. Her demeanor always reminded Jiang Wanqing of the bullying girl she had seen at school in her previous life.
"Dr. Qiao seems to particularly enjoy being a doorman. Why don't we talk to the higher-ups and ask for a different position for you? That would save you the trouble of running around all the time."
Knowing that it was impossible to pass by Qiao Xuemei unscathed, she decided to take the initiative.
The other person lowered their crossed hands and stepped forward, glancing at her face before finally fixing their gaze on her neck.
"You cheated on Battalion Commander Cheng, does he know?"
