Chapter 393 Serious Business Emoji
"What are you still thinking about? If you ask me, you just lack courage! Cen Yan and the women have done such a good job! I admit that giving her preferential treatment does seem like aiding and abetting wrongdoing and condoning speculation, but no matter how you look at it, Cen Yan is thinking of everyone."
Wang Lijuan ran out of energy at this point.
"Indecisive, Lao Lu, you weren't like this when you were young. Anyway, these are the exact words that Cen Yan accidentally let slip. If you think it's worth supporting, then let's have a meeting to discuss it. We can't let young people with ideas and abilities get stuck in the hands of old fogies like you who are afraid of everything."
"If you feel you can't support this, just pretend I never said these words. I'm going to sleep."
Wang Lijuan was so tired that she didn't even want to take a shower. She curled up in the blanket and slept on the inside of the bed.
Political Commissar Lu had another sleepless night, losing a total of seventeen hairs tonight.
A few days later, he summoned Qi Jingchuan to his office to see him.
Qi Jingchuan thought that after being idle for so long, there must be an urgent task to be assigned, so he rushed to the political commissar's office immediately.
"Report!" The man stood tall and gave a military salute before walking into the office.
"Sit down." Political Commissar Lu told him to close the door and sit down in front of him. "I didn't call you here for anything else; I want to verify some things with you."
Upon hearing that it wasn't an emergency mission, Qi Jingchuan's tense body gradually relaxed, and he sat down in front of Political Commissar Lu, waiting for him to speak.
Do you know why Cen Yan makes lip balm and lipstick?
Qi Jingchuan was taken aback. It turned out that he wanted to find out about his wife. However, as a soldier, his duty was to obey orders and not to deceive or lie. These were the most basic requirements.
"Lipsticks and lip glosses are things that women use. My wife is a beautiful and fashionable woman, so isn't it only natural that she knows how to make these things?"
Commissar Lu choked, "So many fashionable and beautiful women don't have your wife's skills!"
"That proves my wife is amazing!" Qi Jingchuan said matter-of-factly, with a sense of pride. "However, I think the specific reason why she did it is related to family tradition."
Tell me more.
“My wife comes from a capitalist family, as you know, teacher. Her ancestors were involved in many businesses, including textiles, shipping, and daily chemicals. Her family has been in business for generations. Without secret recipes, how could they survive in the business world? These are probably skills passed down from generation to generation. I don’t know much more about them.”
Commissar Lu had thought so before. The Cen family, a long-established red capital, had indeed built up a lot of businesses in the past, so it was perfectly normal to pass some of them on to Cen Yan.
He instinctively knew he was on the right track.
"If the organization allows your wife to open a daily chemical factory on the island, cooperate with the organization, and be responsible for receiving disabled veterans and unemployed youths on the island, do you think this can be done?" Political Commissar Lu thought about this question all night.
Qi Jingchuan easily figured it out: "If it were someone else, I'd be waiting to see if it would work out, but if it were my wife, it would definitely work out."
"Just because she's a capitalist's daughter? I've heard she was spoiled rotten by her scumbag father!" That's why Commissar Lu couldn't tell whether Cen Yan was truly capable or just ambitious but incompetent.
Qi Jingchuan shook his head. "No! Because she is my wife, Qi Jingchuan's wife. She is the smartest and best woman in the world."
"...Can't you be a little more objective and fair?!" Political Commissar Lu was furious. "I called you here to discuss serious matters."
"This is the kind of expression I use for serious matters." Qi Jingchuan said with a straight face, gesturing for Political Commissar Lu to carefully observe his micro-expressions.
Political Commissar Lu stared at him for a long time, but all he could see was handsome; he couldn't discern anything else.
He simply waved his hand and said, "Get out, get out! Seeing a henpecked husband like you makes me angry. I'll think about this myself!"
I still need to find an opportunity to ask Cen Yan about her plans and intentions face to face. That brat Qi Jingchuan is too protective of his own. I won't get anything out of him. He'll only make things more difficult for me.
