Liu Han was also having a meal.
While eating, he would occasionally glance at Jiang Yuping.
Qiu Jingwen, with his back to Liu Han, was lost in thought.
He understood that Liu Han's choice to appear behind him was definitely not a coincidence.
This old man was trying to remind Qiu Jingwen that Liu Han was like a ghost, always appearing beside him and his wife, thus reminding him not to forget about the three thousand yuan and to hurry up, as he only had three days.
Liu Hanhan seemed to have achieved his desired goal.
He finished his meal quickly, then picked up his utensils and left the table behind him.
After Liu Han left, Jiang Yuping frowned and looked at her husband, Qiu Jingwen.
"Hey, Lao Qiu, do you know that old worker who was sitting behind you just now?"
Liu Han was wearing a factory uniform and eating in the canteen, so Jiang Yuping naturally assumed he was an old worker from the Hongqi Factory, and even in her mind, she identified him as a retired worker from the factory.
The canteen at Hongqi Factory is only open to employees and their families. Only factory employees can buy meal tickets from the logistics department with their work ID. People from outside the factory are not eligible to buy meal tickets unless they have a special approval note from the factory leaders. For example, when people from other factories come to repair equipment or other staff who need to stay in the factory for a period of time, they are sometimes granted special permission to receive meal tickets.
Therefore, it was only natural for Jiang Yuping to regard Liu Han as a veteran employee of the factory.
"I don't know him/her."
Qiu Jingwen didn't even glance at his wife, and simply gave three words.
Wei Hong turned her head to look at Jiang Yuping.
“Yuping, isn’t that the old man who stood on the top of Orange Gully Mountain on our way to work this morning? I recognize the scar on his face. Sigh, this man is really strange, his eyes look so fierce.”
The two women opposite him were talking, but Qiu Jingwen didn't respond. He silently ate his rice.
He knew that Wei Hong had a keen sense of smell and could even tell that Liu Han was dangerous just by looking at his face.
When Jiang Yuping saw that her husband said he didn't know Liu Han, she pressed him for details.
"Hey, Lao Qiu, you're the old workshop director now, don't the factory workers recognize you?"
When Jiang Yuping first saw Liu Han on the mountaintop that morning, she felt that he was connected to her husband, even though the feeling was inexplicable.
When Qiu Jingwen turned around and saw Liu Han, although he disguised it well, Jiang Yuping still noticed the subtle expression on her husband's face, which is why she asked him another question.
Seeing his wife's accusatory tone, Qiu Jingwen calmed himself down and then smiled gently at her.
“Yuping, there are nearly two thousand employees in the factory. How could I possibly know them all? Besides, you and Wei Hong have been doctors in the factory clinic for over twenty years. How come you don’t know them?”
Her husband turned the tables on her, leaving Jiang Yuping speechless.
That makes sense. With nearly two thousand employees, several workshops, and administrative and logistical support, it's understandable that Qiu Jingwen wouldn't recognize them.
Furthermore, Jiang Yuping also thought that the old man might be a retired employee of the factory, or an elder of one of the employees. If he was a family member of an employee, it was also possible that he was using the factory's meal tickets to eat in the canteen.
This topic ends here.
The three of them then ate in silence, without saying another word.
After finishing their lunch, each person took their tableware to a row of sinks, put it in the water, and then turned to leave.
One advantage of dining in the staff canteen is that after the meal, the waiters wash the tableware at the sink, so the staff don't have to wash it themselves. After all, the tableware is greasy, and the waiters need to use dish soap to clean the grease off.
After leaving the canteen, Qiu Jingwen took out a pack of Pegasus cigarettes from the pocket of his work clothes, flicked one out, and lit it with a match.
He took two deep drags, and a surge of emotion welled up within him again.
He knew that Liu Han had appeared behind him just now on purpose to show him.
Although he tried his best to control his emotions, he still felt uneasy after leaving the restaurant.
He suddenly realized that if this thorn wasn't removed, it would always be a source of pain.
He hadn't gone far when he noticed Liu Han standing by the outer wall of the cafeteria, staring straight at him.
Qiu Jingwen also glared fiercely at Liu Han.
For a fleeting moment, Qiu Jingwen felt that the plan to eliminate Liu Han still needed to be carried out.
Otherwise, this old guy would always appear before him like a ghost.
It would have been fine if Liu Han had only appeared in front of him, but Wei Hong's words clearly told him that Liu Han had shown his face in front of Jiang Yuping and Wei Hong that morning. However, Jiang Yuping and the others did not know that this veteran spy had deliberately made it for Qiu Jingwen to see.
After leaving the canteen area, Qiu Jingwen said goodbye to his wife and Wei Hong, parted ways with them, and then walked towards his workshop office.
Back in his office, Qiu Jingwen gently lay down on the long bench.
Qiu Jingwen is the workshop director, and he has his own office.
Over the years, he has developed a habit of resting for about half an hour after lunch, unless there are special circumstances, especially in the summer, he does this every day.
Qiu Jingwen lay down on the bench and gently closed her eyes.
However, he no longer felt sleepy as usual and was unable to fall asleep at all.
Liu Han's scarred old face immediately came to mind.
Thinking of Liu Han, he wondered where Liu Han had been hiding all these years.
Why did it take until yesterday to find Qiu Jingwen?
If he had been in Duliang, around the Hongqi Factory area, he should have made contact with me long ago, instead of waiting until today.
