In a way, he was promoted exceptionally. The former commander-in-chief had recovered well after Bai Yajing's surgery, but his body couldn't withstand any more strain and he needed to rest at home.
During this time, Bai Yajing visited him several times for follow-up examinations and left behind a lot of medicine to regulate his body. Now, as long as he takes good care of himself, he will definitely live a long and healthy life.
The problem is that Mr. Xiao is getting busier and busier. He rarely comes home, sometimes only once every ten days or half a month. Most of the time, he lives in the cubicle behind the office.
Bai Yajing was worried, so she often brought the baby to see him and check his pulse for safety.
"Grandpa, please take more rest. Health is the foundation of everything. No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat and sleep."
As soon as she finished taking his pulse, Grandpa Xiao couldn't wait to hug his two great-grandsons.
"Oh my, my dear great-grandfather's sweetheart, I've missed you so much!"
"Don't worry, Ya Jing, Grandpa has been listening to you and eating on time..."
However, he sounded a little guilty as he said this, his eyes darting around, looking at the ceiling, the floor tiles, and the little buns, but he didn't dare to look at her.
Bai Yajing knew it at a glance.
She squinted at him dangerously. "Grandpa, tell the truth!"
Secretary Wu entered at that moment.
He overheard the conversation between the two people and put down the documents in his hand.
Sitting down next to Bai Yajing, she complained, "Comrade Bai, you need to do something about the old man! He's been working late into the night every day reviewing documents, and he won't listen to me! I tell him to eat on time, but he always finishes his work before the food is even cold..."
He talked on and on, ignoring the frequent suggestive glances from Old Master Xiao, clearly having a lot of grievances to vent.
Secretary Wu was a talent cultivated by the former commander, who entrusted him to Old Master Xiao's care when he retired.
Old Master Xiao was a man who valued talent, so he immediately decided to let him stay in the secretariat and continue to be his right-hand man.
Secretary Wu reciprocated the favor by treating him the same way he would a current commander.
"Our former leader fell ill because he neglected his health due to being too busy. You mustn't follow in his footsteps!"
Seeing that he couldn't stop the loudspeaker, Old Master Xiao angrily turned his head away, refusing to look at this troublesome thing anymore.
Bai Yajing put her hands on her hips and said, "Grandpa..."
Grandpa Xiao fears neither heaven nor earth, but he is actually a little afraid of this granddaughter-in-law because she is really good at nagging! If you don't listen to her advice, she will keep nagging until you listen.
I'm scared, I'm scared...
"Oh dear, I'm just a bit busy with all these internal and external troubles, hahaha. Ya Jing, I promise I really know I was wrong this time. From now on, no matter how busy I am, I'll eat first and go to bed on time, okay?"
Bai Yajing didn't believe his promise; this old man had fooled her like this several times before!
Her face fell, and she looked completely dazed.
"Grandpa, your two great-grandchildren are still so young. Don't you want to see them grow up safely? Who knows, there might be new great-grandchildren in the future. Don't you want to see them? If they don't have good health... tsk tsk..."
When Grandpa Xiao looked down at the two little babies in his arms, his heart softened instantly.
This time, it was a heartfelt promise: "Ya Jing, don't worry, Grandpa knows. He will never do it again. If you don't believe me, have Wu Zi supervise me!"
Bai Yajing and Secretary Wu exchanged a glance, both revealing sly smiles.
"Okay, you promised. If you don't listen, I'll call Comrade Bai and complain."
"Yes, if Grandpa doesn't listen to my advice, you can call me."
Old Master Xiao glared at Secretary Wu, then chuckled to himself.
I know they mean well.
"Okay, okay, I promise you. From now on, we'll handle urgent documents first, and if we don't have enough time, we'll leave the less urgent ones for the next day."
You need to eat and sleep on time, but you also need to make arrangements for important things.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange everything for you every day."
Bai Yajing left behind specially made tonic pills for Grandpa Xiao before leaving with the little buns.
