Wang Gang and Zhao Qingzhou had a few drinks. Zhao Qingzhou didn't refuse; he had originally planned to do a full day's work, but he finished it in one morning.
Take a nap this afternoon, let the women go out for a stroll, buy some Northwest specialties, and we can prepare to return to Beicheng early tomorrow morning.
This is how Zhao Qingzhou explained it to his secretary.
Seeing that Director Zhao and Chief Wang had drunk quite a bit, the secretary, who had to keep watch over the leaders, told Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia that they were free to do whatever they wanted the next day.
After we finish eating, we can go for a walk outside.
Seeing how drunk Zhao Qingzhou and Wang Gang were, Wen Qiao thought to herself that they were probably worried that the two women would be bored.
Zhou Jia and Wen Qiao only met after Zhou Jia was transferred to the Information Department. Their relationship was just that of ordinary colleagues in the Information Department. They only became close after they came to the Northwest for a business trip and stayed in the same room.
After the meal, Zhou Jia became very curious about the local customs and culture of Northwest China and decided to explore the area.
Zhou Jia is a girl from the South who has never been to the Northwest. People always have wonderful fantasies about places they have never been.
Wen Qiao accompanied her for a walk.
Before leaving, Li Qin said that the border area was windy and sandy, and the two women should bring headscarves and scarves. Li Qin also said that a soldier should accompany them, in case they went too far and couldn't find their way back.
Wen Qiao didn't try to be brave; she listened to Li Qin and let a young soldier who was very familiar with the area follow her.
Both women also took a scarf and wrapped it around their necks.
They hadn't gone far when Zhou Jia saw someone standing not far away, staring at them. She immediately felt a little scared.
"Wen Qiao, have you noticed? Someone's been watching us the whole time."
Wen Qiao looked up, but it was a bit far away, and with the sudden gust of wind, she had to squint to see clearly.
The man not only stared at them, but also kept walking towards them.
When the man got closer, Wen Qiao realized that her earlier suspicions were indeed about Shen Haiyang.
"Wen Qiao, I have something to tell you."
Looking at Shen Haiyang's fierce expression, Zhou Jia was very worried about him. She tugged at Wen Qiao's arm with concern.
"Wen Qiao, who is this person? Do you know him? Don't strike up a conversation with him. We must ensure safety first."
Before Wen Qiao could speak, Shen Haiyang said in a low voice, "I just want to say a few words to you, Wen Qiao. You're not afraid of me, are you?"
Wen Qiao whispered a few words to Zhou Jia, asking her and the young soldier who had come with them to wait for her not far away.
Wen Qiao then looked at Shen Haiyang.
"Wang Zhihui told you I was here? You two are really very affectionate. Back in Beicheng, Wang Zhihui was afraid I would fall for you, so she targeted me at every turn."
"You're really lucky that she's so devoted to you, Shen Haiyang."
Shen Haiyang could tell that Wen Qiao's words were full of sarcasm.
But he didn't care anymore.
He looked at Wen Qiao and said, "Say whatever you want, I don't care anymore. My adoptive father just wants me to gain experience here. Once I realize my mistakes and correct them, he will still want me. Wen Qiao, even if you marry him, what difference will it make? Can you compare to our decades-long father-son relationship?"
“Go back and tell my adoptive father that I know I was wrong and that I will listen to him when I get back. I promise I will not target you when I return.”
