Chapter 394 Both the little cotton-padded jacket and the leather jacket were letting in the wind.
Chris had no time for sentimentality. The next morning, she flew back to Shanghai with Qin Shi'an to begin preparing for her wedding.
Jiang Si focused on the final delivery work.
A few days later, the foreign affairs building was officially inspected and accepted.
At the celebration banquet, Minister Zhao excitedly announced that the organization had officially named the foreign affairs building "Yihe".
The word "friendship" expresses not only the pursuit of establishing diplomatic relations when receiving foreign guests, but also highlights the core of "harmony and win-win" at the diplomatic level.
These two words are the most appropriate.
Amidst the cheers of praise from the audience, Jiang Si stared absently in the direction of the Yihe Building.
A month ago, Minister Zhao asked her if she had any ideas about the name of the foreign affairs building.
Jiang Si thought he was just asking casually.
After a moment's thought, the name Yihe was given.
Unexpectedly, the organization recognized and adopted it.
The building she designed herself was finally named after her. At that moment, Jiang Si felt that there could be no more perfect ending.
Lost in thought, Minister Zhao looked over and said, "Now, let's invite Comrade Jiang Si to say a few words."
These words immediately brought the victory celebration to another climax.
Jiang Si was completely unprepared for this until her assistant reminded her, at which point she came to her senses.
She paused for a long time when she received the microphone.
His gaze swept over the familiar faces below the stage: Professor Li, Secretary Yan, Director Yang, and countless other team members with whom he had fought side by side.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Si said, "To be honest, I'm a little dazed right now, and it's hard to describe how I feel right now."
"But I know that without each and every one of you here, there would be no Yihe today. Every brick and tile of this building, every detail, is the result of our concerted efforts."
As she finished speaking, she raised her glass, saying, "I hope that the world we have built together can carry even more goodwill in the future."
May our motherland prosper and flourish! May our diplomatic friendship last forever!
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience and lasted for a long time.
And so, in this lively and festive atmosphere, the celebration banquet came to an end.
Jiang Si also ended her unforgettable journey in the Ministry of Construction.
After the banquet, when she went to the labor and personnel department to complete the formalities and return her work badge, she was genuinely a little reluctant.
The head of the labor and personnel department pushed the things back, saying, "This was specially instructed by Minister Zhao. He said that you should come back and visit more often when you have the chance."
This time, Jiang Si didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll definitely come back to visit often when I have the chance."
After leaving the labor and personnel department, Jiang Si stayed at the office until it was completely dark before saying goodbye to everyone.
As she exited the construction building, she immediately spotted Huo Tingzhou, who had been waiting for her for a long time.
A warmth instantly touched her heart, and she quickly walked over. "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy at work?"
Huo Tingzhou was about to explain, but he didn't expect that his little cotton-padded jacket was leaking air.
Zhao Zhao poked her head out from the back seat, her hair tied in two little buns. "Mommy, Daddy wanted to give you a surprise!"
After saying that, she opened the car door.
Holding a bouquet of flowers, she ran towards Jiang Si.
Sui Sui followed suit, presenting a painting she had drawn herself.
The brother and sister said in unison, "Mom! This is for you, to congratulate you on successfully completing your mission!"
Jiang Si was both surprised and delighted, and bent down to kiss each of their soft little faces.
"Thank you, my darlings. The flowers are beautiful, and the drawings are wonderful. Mommy is very happy."
His gaze then fell on Huo Tingzhou, his eyes asking, "Where did you buy these flowers?"
Flowers are rare these days, let alone in such heavy snow. I wonder how long they ran there.
Huo Tingzhou did not answer directly, but opened the car door, gesturing for the three of them to get in the car quickly.
Jiang Si, holding a bouquet of flowers, sat in the passenger seat, the rich fragrance of which was refreshing and delightful.
Huo Tingzhou: "Do you like it?"
Jiang Si nodded, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Of course I like it!"
No woman dislikes a sense of ritual.
Especially on such a special day.
The bouquet of flowers in her hand was called "Monthly Red," a flower with a beautiful meaning. Jiang Si smiled and asked, "Did you travel a long way to buy it?"
"No."
As soon as Huo Tingzhou opened his mouth, the little leather jacket started to let in drafts.
"It's far away, Mom! It's very far!"
“Driving back and forth takes an afternoon, and Dad’s money…” wasn’t enough, so they contributed their own pocket money.
But before he could finish speaking, Huo Tingzhou cleared his throat and interrupted him.
Okay, that's enough.
Besides, these two little guys have almost squandered all of our family's wealth.
At that moment, both children were in the car. Jiang Si didn't say anything, but when she looked at Huo Tingzhou's slightly reddened ears, she couldn't help but smile.
When night fell, the two lay down in bed.
Jiang Si then took the initiative to wrap her arms around Huo Tingzhou's neck and plant a kiss on his lips.
"Thank you." She really liked the surprise, and also, "Starting this month, I'll increase your allowance!"
Huo Tingzhou gave a soft "hmm". From now on, he will have twenty-five yuan every month.
It's still ten yuan more than Lao Xiao's!
...
The next day, Jiang Si woke up naturally. The first thing she did after waking up was to find a vase and put the bouquet of flowers from the previous night in it.
I remembered that I promised my two little ones last night that I would pick them up from the Children's Palace today.
Jiang Si quickly packed up, then took some of the things the two little ones liked to eat, and headed towards the Children's Palace.
To her shame, she only found out last night.
The two little ones have been coming to the Children's Palace for extracurricular classes with their older siblings since the day before yesterday.
She doesn't have the willpower to give it to her.
She dislikes going out in the dead of winter.
The Children's Palace is not far from the family compound; it's only a ten-minute walk away.
The last time Jiang Si came to the Children's Palace, she came with Sister Hu and the others.
She only glanced at it briefly at the time, so she didn't really know which classroom the two little ones were in.
Just as I was about to ask someone, by sheer coincidence, I ran into an elderly gentleman with glasses and a refined demeanor.
So Jiang Si politely stepped forward and asked how to get to the Go and abacus classes.
The other person pointed to the building behind, "The Go class just started, you can go over there later."
Then he added, "I'm going to my abacus class anyway, come with me."
Jiang Si quickly thanked her.
Through conversation, she learned that the kind old man was actually Teacher He from the abacus class.
As they walked, Teacher He casually asked, "Are you here to pick up your child? What's your child's name?"
"Yes, I'm here to pick up my daughter. Her name is Jiang Jingyan."
As soon as she finished speaking, Teacher He stopped in her tracks. "So you are Jingyan's parent. I was just looking for an opportunity to talk to you."
Jiang Si was stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until Teacher He asked, "Did you know that your son Jingyan signed up for the Beijing Abacus Competition?"
Jiang Si's eyes widened upon hearing this; she had absolutely no idea about this!
Before she could speak, Teacher He added, "She signed up for the youth group, did you know that?"
Jiang Si: "..."
