After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuping pushed open the door and came in, asking knowingly, "Jingwen, who called?"
Qiu Jingwen naturally wouldn't say anything, and he didn't want his wife to worry about him. He told Jiang Yuping that it was the leader in charge of production from the Provincial Military Industry Bureau who wanted to talk to her and inquire about production matters. Jiang Yuping didn't expose her husband's lie; she just nodded and smiled, saying nothing.

However, after searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone who seemed to have any questions. Before he could speak to the little girl, she had already run off happily.
