Chapter 217 Why retreat?
Zhu Yunhuai felt a chill on her spine, goose bumps appeared on her skin, and she held her breath immediately.
Zhang Qiangqiang behind him handed over an abacus.
"Sister-in-law, I forgot to take the abacus."
When he took the heavy abacus in his hand, the beads instantly fell to one side, making a rustling sound.
Zhu Yunyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "No need, everything has been counted. I'll just check it again."
Xiao Zhang was still very impressed. He silently gave her a thumbs-up and praised her, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing! You just came back to Beijing to visit relatives and you were able to find a job in a factory. Workers are so popular in the city now! It's a pity that it's so hard for me to become a worker!"
"You, can't you have bigger ambitions? Work hard in the army and become a regimental commander or even a commander in the future!"
Zhu Yunwei walked out of the warehouse without saying a word.
Xiao Zhang was so happy with her that he laughed a lot.
"Sister-in-law, are you trying to cheer me up?"
"Even if it's just to cheer people up, why wouldn't I cheer others up? It shows you really have potential!"
Zhu Yunying looked at the man's silly look and the corners of her lips curled up.
The two of them left the warehouse, one in front and one behind.
…
On the other side, several members of the Leng Feng Operations Team had just arrived in the Northeast and went directly to the flight test base.
Halfway through the journey, Yu Jincheng, who was driving, wanted to avoid a wild cat that rushed onto the road. He stepped on the brakes in an emergency and his expression changed.
"The brakes are broken, check the doors and windows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people in the car who were resting with their eyes closed suddenly became energetic!
Lu Chen tutted, pointed at the jeep leading the way, and said unhappily, "Then there's no need to check! Isn't it just that brat up front? He said he was coming to pick us up, but he got diarrhea and couldn't drive, so he forced us all to squeeze together! He's going to take us all down!"
"Lu Chen, watch your mouth! We're randomly assigned to ride in a car. We can ride in the same car with several people, or we can sit separately with them to understand the situation. It won't have the effect of killing them all at once."
Feng Shuo tried the car door and found it could be opened. The seat belt had been unfastened.
"On the count of three, let's jump together!"
"One, two, three—jump!"
All four doors of the jeep opened simultaneously.
Four figures jumped down at the same time!
The jeep, with its doors open, rushed straight ahead and hit a fir tree on the side of the road.
With a loud bang!
Sparks flew.
Several people bent over and huddled together, exchanging glances.
Feng Shuo silently handed out the kettles: "Your sister-in-law prepared this. It contains red ginseng. Drink it sparingly. Disperse. Gather here in three days."
Lu Chen touched the scar on his head and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I felt like it was drinking this water that saved my life last time!"
"Then I have to drink sparingly!"
Yu Jincheng curled the corners of his lips and hung the kettle on his body as if it were his treasure. Noticing the quietness around him, he looked up at his captain, scratched his brow awkwardly, and pretended to return the kettle.
"Otherwise, I won't take it."
"If I don't train for a day, my skin will itch again!"
Feng Shuo slapped Yang He in annoyance, then turned around and patted his shoulder: "You brought Panpan here last time. Stay here to wait for help and find out the situation. Don't trust anyone!"
"Roger that, Boss!"
In the night, the four people disappeared.
Feng Shuo tightly held the red ginseng water given by Zhu Yunwei. The situation here was more complicated than he had imagined. He was afraid that he would not be able to return to Beijing for a while.
I hope Yaoyao doesn't worry.
…
In Beijing, I wish Yunwei a good night's sleep.
The next day, he went to Yao Wanli to settle the bill in high spirits.
When he returned to the warehouse and saw the baskets full of cotton and silk cocoons, Yao Wanli was completely dumbfounded, especially when he saw the identical baskets, he gasped.
Zhu Yunying pretended to be clueless and asked, "Uncle Yao, are you not satisfied with these ingredients? Otherwise, I'd better ship them back. The things are not presentable, so as not to cause you trouble!"
"Okay, okay! Yun Wei, your Zhu family is really cut out for business. It's been passed down in our blood."
Yao Wanli couldn't help but give a thumbs up!
After counting the money, he immediately handed it to Zhu Yunying.
As the two walked back, Yao Wanli didn't even glance at the next room.
The price she offered was more affordable than Song Xiaotian's.
Zhu Yunying understood, and after returning to the city, she went to the Friendship Hotel.
The last time I met Song Xiaotian, it was definitely not a coincidence.
He must have come here to chase Xu Hansheng and Lu Fangfang.
But why?
Those two people with the halo of the protagonist had to forge letters of introduction, but Song Xiaotian was able to stay in Beijing for so long?
Zhu Yunyao stayed in the guesthouse and waited until the sun was setting before she finally saw Song Xiaotian.
When I saw him riding his 28-inch bicycle from afar, I suddenly had an epiphany.
"Yun Wei?!"
Song Xiaotian was quite excited and rode his bike straight towards her.
The car stopped next to her and Zhu Yunying took a step back.
"Are you here to see me?" Song Xiaotian couldn't hide his joy in his eyes.
Zhu Yunwei suppressed her guard and smiled.
"I just happened to be passing by. Are you staying in this guesthouse?"
Song Xiaotian shook his head. "I've been accepted as an apprentice at a state-owned garment factory and live in the dormitory now! I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities."
"You said before that you had studied in a garment factory outside, in Beijing! Master Song is really modest."
Zhu Yunwei smiled.
Song Xiaotian lowered his head and looked very good-tempered, and he also smiled.
"It took a lot of effort to get out this time. My mom keeps pushing me to get married and go on blind dates, and it's really getting a bit overwhelming. The last conflict with Captain Feng wasn't very pleasant either..."
He hesitated to speak and glanced at Zhu Yunyao angrily.
Zhu Yunying didn't respond to his question, but only asked, "Have you expanded your business to the fabric factory? What is your relationship with Lu Fangfang? How did you meet?"
“…”
The street was noisy, but the atmosphere between Song Xiaotian and Zhu Yunying was a little awkward.
He looked around, towards the state-owned restaurant nearby, and lowered his voice, "How about we find a place and have a good chat?"
Zhu Yunwei nodded.
Song Xiaotian got off the bicycle and pushed it side by side with her. He was calm and had a stern face, as if thinking about something.
Arriving at the entrance of the state-owned restaurant, Zhu Yunying pointed at the table outside and said:
"There aren't many people here, so let's just talk here."
"here?"
Song Xiaotian looked around and saw a bicycle repair shop not far away. It was noisy and many people passed by, so it was not quiet.
He frowned, took a deep breath, and sighed softly, "Have you reconciled with Captain Feng?"
"Master Xiao Song, what I want to talk to you about is not marriage, but business. If you insist on mixing the two, then we probably won't reach an agreement. Let's just forget it."
Zhu Yunying said this, shook her head and prepared to leave.
Song Xiaotian parked his bike and spread his hands. "Sorry, I overstepped my bounds. Let's sit down here and talk slowly. Their roasted vegetarian chicken is delicious. I'll treat you to a taste."
"I'll treat you. You helped me out a few days ago, and I haven't thanked you properly yet."
Zhu Yunying resumed her usual politeness, took the initiative to order dishes, and sat down face to face with him.
The hotel waiter politely poured them a cup of tea.
Song Xiaotian clenched his teacup and finally couldn't help asking, "Before I say anything, can you tell me why you suddenly backed away from me? Our first collaboration should have been very successful. I always thought there would be a next collaboration, but..."
