Qiu Jingwen felt that it would be better to ask his wife about this matter in person.
Asking questions over the phone could be a loophole if someone overhears the conversation intentionally or unintentionally.
Thinking of all this, Qiu Jingwen left his office, got on his bicycle, and went directly to the infirmary.
Jiang Yuping was surprised that her husband would look for her at her clinic, so she smiled gently at Qiu Jingwen.
"Director Qiu, what brings you to our clinic? Did you come here specifically to see me?"
Whether influenced by her best friend Wei Hong or simply possessing a natural sense of humor, Jiang Yuping started joking with her husband, as if all the strange things that had happened to him the night before had vanished.
Seeing that Jiang Yuping was alone, Qiu Jingwen closed the door, then walked up to his wife and whispered:
"Yu Ping, I came here because I have something I want to ask you."
Jiang Yuping stared at her husband's handsome face.
"Jingwen, what's wrong? You could have just called to ask. Why did you come all the way from your workshop?"
"Don't joke around, I didn't come all the way from the workshop, I just happened to be passing by."
"Speak, what is it?"
"How much money do we have in our family's savings account?"
Jiang Yuping wasn't stupid; as soon as her husband asked how much money was in the savings account, she knew he definitely needed the money.
She frowned and looked at her husband with a surprised expression.
"Jingwen, what do you mean by asking how much money? Do you need money?"
"Yu Ping, tell me a real number, I just want to know."
"It's about four thousand yuan, not including the money that Qiuyang and Qiuyue have."
"Wow, so much money!?"
This was something Qiu Jingwen hadn't expected.
His face was filled with joy and happiness.
"Yu Ping, I understand."
"Old Qiu, you still haven't told me what you need the money for?"
"Yuping, I'll talk to you when I get home tonight."
He lowered his voice as he spoke.
“Yu Ping, I don’t want any third party to know about what’s going on between my husband and me, including Wei Hong. You might understand some things in the future.”
Qiu Jingwen's words left Jiang Yuping completely bewildered.
She didn't understand for a moment what it meant to know gradually in the future.
Just then, Wei Hong pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as Qiu Jingwen saw Wei Hong enter, he immediately tried to escape.
"Yuping, I'm leaving now. You two besties can chat. Remember what I told you."
Jiang Yuping hummed in agreement, watching her husband's departing figure, and felt a sense of estrangement once again.
Since yesterday,
When her husband got home, he was soaked to the bone and plopped down in a chair.
At dinner,
He treated the children rudely and even slapped Qiu Shou, which was unprecedented for him.
After getting into bed,
He roughly stripped Jiang Yuping of her clothes, eagerly intending to have sex with her, but the attempt ended in failure, leaving him with tears in his eyes and uttering words that sounded like his last.
Then, in the morning, I asked for leave to take Qiu Shou and Qiu Chan to school.
Now,
He rushed over again, asking how much money was in his family's bank account.
All this,
All of this made Jiang Yuping feel uneasy again.
After Qiu Jingwen left, Wei Hong looked at her best friend and smiled:
"Yu Ping, did your husband come all the way here to see you?"
Jiang Yuping recalled her husband's words, which said she would gradually understand in the future, and knew that there must be more to this than met the eye.
therefore,
She didn't tell her best friend about her husband coming to inquire about the bankbook; instead, she just smiled.
"Hey, he didn't come all the way here just to see me. He just happened to be passing by and said hello."
While the two best friends were chatting, Qiu Jingwen rode her bicycle back to her office.
After setting up his bicycle, Qiu Jingwen went directly to the deputy director's office.
Jin Dahai was not there. Zheng Yanshi sat in a chair, smoking a cigarette while looking at the documents in front of the dusty desk fan.
Qiu Jingwen walked up to Zheng Yanshi and asked:
"Zheng Yanshi, where's Jin Dahai? Did he go down to the workshop?"
Zheng Yanshi looked up and saw Qiu Jingwen. He quickly stood up from his seat.
"Director Qiu, it's you, Jin Dahai. He's gone to the workshop."
As he spoke, he turned the fan towards Qiu Jingwen, directing the wind towards Qiu Jingwen, since Qiu Jingwen was his superior.
Qiu Jingwen looked at Zheng Yanshi and said:
"When Jin Dahai comes back, I'll have him come to my office. I want to talk to him about something."
"Okay, by the way, Director, what was the agenda for today's mid-level meeting? It was all for middle-level managers at the level of director and above; deputy managers weren't allowed to attend?"
The middle-level managers Zheng Yanshi referred to were the factory's middle-level cadres, including those at the deputy workshop level.
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Jingwen recounted the main points of the meeting to Zheng Yanshi.
He analyzed that after the provincial, municipal and county leaders left, the factory would definitely hold a special meeting to arrange the investigation of enemy agents and suspected personnel, as well as to strengthen security work. The news that enemy agents had been found to be causing sabotage in several nearby military factories would also soon spread among the cadres and employees.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yanshi's eyes widened in surprise.
"My God, there really are spies sabotaging the nearby military factory. This is a huge commotion. No wonder the meeting was so high-level, with provincial, municipal and county leaders all present."
At this point, he looked at Qiu Jingwen with a curious expression.
"Director Qiu, do you think there might be enemy agents lurking inside our Hongqi Factory?"
Qiu Jingwen was not nervous when faced with Zheng Yanshi's question.
After all, Zheng Yanshi was his subordinate, unlike in the conference room where he was facing his superiors, including leaders from the Public Security Bureau.
