Chapter 92 I Don't Mind Carrying You for a While
Then, Su Mianzhi's smile faded, and he looked at Su Meng seriously, saying, "Did you hear what the man in black robes said?"
As for that green bead, it must never be mentioned again, remember that!
Su Meng nodded obediently; she definitely wouldn't flaunt her wealth.
The man in black robes only knew that the Su family had a green pearl, so he imprisoned Su Mianzhi for ten years.
If she had known that Green Beads could magically transform into a space, she would never have had a moment's peace.
"By the way! Dad, who was that man in black?"
Su Mianzhi rubbed his temples and said ambiguously, "He has never revealed his identity. Perhaps he is a close relative of our Su family."
Only a few direct descendants of the Su family knew about the green pearl in the Su family.
But everyone only knows that it is priceless, and no one knows what other uses it has.
Your grandfather was very reluctant to part with the other half of the pendant when he gave it to the Nie family as a token of their love.
But considering the Nie family's high status and power, he reluctantly gave it up.
Thankfully, after all the twists and turns, the pendant has returned! That's wonderful!
Now, when I think back to the old man taking out that pendant, his expression was so conflicted and pained, as if his heart had been ripped out, I can't help but laugh.
Su Meng grinned and mysteriously took out a bankbook from her handbag. "Dad, look what this is."
Your Swiss bank passbook.
As for the other savings books, I exchanged them for scallion oil. We can withdraw them when you need them.
Su Mianzhi smiled as he took the passbook, touching it nostalgically before staring at Su Meng with a smile.
Just as Su Meng was about to be overwhelmed and felt guilty, she was about to tell him everything when he sighed, "My little Meng has finally grown up!"
"Very good, now our Su family has the resources to rise again, and you won't have to worry about your dowry."
His statement suggests he intends to make a significant impact.
Su Meng recalled what the book said: in the next few years, the country would still be under a planned economy and would not yet have started large-scale market-oriented reforms.
It is not suitable for private enterprises and individual businesses.
"Dad, our status as 'red capitalists' isn't suited for big moves. How about we link ourselves to the military and invest in the military region's development?"
Su Mianzhi laughed and pointed at her with the bankbook, "You little rascal! Let me think about it some more."
He held the passbook and clapped his hands lightly.
His gaze was focused on one spot, as if he were concentrating on planning something.
This Swiss bank passbook contains 200,000 in principal.
Of course, the interest over the past ten years must have been a considerable sum.
With this huge sum of money, Su Mianzhi could do whatever he wanted without any constraints.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes lit up. "Xiao Meng, do you have any news about your maternal grandfather's family?"
Su Meng nodded, "My uncle should have come back a few days ago. But for some reason, he left in a hurry without coming to see me."
Upon hearing this, Su Mianzhi seemed to understand something, "Oh, I see~ It's alright! They'll come back when we can meet again."
Seeing that he avoided talking about his maternal grandfather, Su Meng didn't press him for details.
As night deepened, the world gradually quieted down.
Su Mianzhi helped himself to his feet. "Let's go! I'll take you back to your dorm."
Su Meng helped her out, and said with a sweet smile, "Dad, don't bother yourself."
At this rate, you'll be coming and going before dawn.
Su Mianzhi sighed, "Oh! You're looking down on me! Ah Da, go see Xiao Meng off."
Ah Da was playing chess with Huo Zhenhua in the courtyard when he heard Su Mianzhi's words, so he dropped the chess pieces and was about to leave.
Huo Zhenhua quickly tidied up the chessboard and said, "Uncle, I'll give her a ride since it's on my way!"
The firearms research institute is managed as strictly as our military camp.
"It's too troublesome for your family members to come and go without going through so many approval processes."
Ah Da glanced at him, then looked at Su Mianzhi, "I think it's a good idea!"
So, despite the warning looks from Su Mianzhi and Xie Mian, Huo Zhenhua openly and honestly took Su Meng away.
As night falls, the island is as if it has been gently covered with a thin blanket by the tide, and even the wind carries a salty humidity.
The dim yellow light at the entrance of the military camp in the distance made even the crabs crawling sideways seem a little drunk.
After Su Meng yawned four or five times, Huo Zhenhua couldn't help but ask, "Are you that sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Su Meng wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah! I probably haven't slept at all."
Grandma's bed is too small. I was afraid of rolling over on Xiaoqi and crowding Grandma, so I was half-asleep. I was so sleepy!
She yawned twice in those few words.
Huo Zhenhua turned his head and gazed at her flushed and moist eyes, saying casually, "If you're really too sleepy, I don't mind carrying you for a while."
Su Meng looked up in surprise, meeting his smiling eyes, and asked as if possessed, "Really?"
"Really." He really stopped, stared at her, and squatted down in front of her, his dark eyes smiling as he looked at her, seemingly with encouragement and invitation.
Su Meng looked in surprise at the tall figure in front of her, who was still standing even though he was crouching down.
Looking at his broad, muscular back, and an old scar that stretched from behind his ear into his collar, and feeling the warmth of his breath on his back up close, my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately cowered!
She took a step forward, awkwardly brushing aside the stray hairs that had been blown by her ear, and lowered her head to hide the turmoil in her heart.
He smiled and said, "Commander Huo, Uncle Huo, I'm not that delicate."
She emphasized the words "Uncle Huo" and then glanced at him timidly.
Seeing his brows twitch, I could hear his inner thoughts: this girl deserves a beating.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she took off at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Huo Zhenhua sighed, a slight smile playing on his lips, and strode after him.
They ran past the military district gate one after the other in the quiet night.
The story of Regiment Commander Huo Zhenhua and his "lover" had spread throughout the military region by the next day.
The next day, as soon as Su Meng arrived at the office door, she saw Director Jiang waiting there with a serious expression.
Su Meng thought the diesel engine data she had given was incorrect, so she took two quick steps and asked, "Director, where is the error?"
Director Jiang glanced at the men peeking around and said sternly, "Come with me!"
Su Meng followed, puzzled.
To her surprise, her colleagues who had praised her and greeted her with smiles a few days ago all avoided her gaze when they met her eyes.
She was as if she were a monstrous flood.
Upon entering the office, Director Jiang pointed to the sofa to the side and sat down behind his desk.
He placed his hands on the table, looked at Su Meng sternly, and said in a tone more serious than ever before, "Comrade Su Meng, you are still young and should focus all your energy on scientific research."
As for things like forcibly taking someone's love or fighting over someone's affections, those should not happen to our researchers.
We are revolutionary fighters, and the worst thing we can do is to be divided internally.
Su Meng was completely confused, and with a frown, she repeated Director Jiang's words one by one.
She felt she recognized the words and sentences, but didn't know their meaning in this context.
"Director, just say what you have to say."
Are you implying that I undermined internal unity and was jealous of each other? Who told you that?
She looked completely at ease, her clear eyes meeting Director Jiang's gaze without fear.
Director Jiang stared at Su Meng, frowning as he scrutinized her. "You really don't know?"
Su Meng smiled speechlessly: "What do I need to know?"
Apart from you and the gatekeeper, I don't know anyone else in our unit.
How can I undermine internal unity?
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
When Su Meng saw the person standing at the door, the question mark above her head became even bigger and more pronounced.
