Chapter 140 Tacit Understanding
Su Meng, preoccupied with her own thoughts, slowly and tentatively shared her doubts with Huo Zhenhua on the way home.
Huo Zhenhua looked towards the courtyard gate, raised his hand and touched the top of her head, "I won't go in! Don't worry about this, I'll investigate."
You deserve praise today. Please tell me if you need anything in the future, and I will definitely live up to your trust.
He stood beside Su Meng, straight and tall like a majestic mountain, ready to come closer and offer her protection at any time.
Su Meng looked up and met his deep eyes. Seeing his sincerity and seriousness, her heart suddenly raced, and the breath she exhaled from her nostrils instantly became scalding hot, as if she had a high fever.
She tugged at his sleeve, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and suppressed the stinging tears. "Thank you!"
There was a time when it was so difficult for her to find something to lean on, or even just a roadside stone to rest on for a moment.
In a foreign land, she could only stumble forward, using her frail shoulders to support herself.
Unexpectedly, not long after returning to China, she not only found her father, but also... found such a caring... lover.
She felt a little sentimental, but also warm inside. Meeting his puzzled gaze, she forced a smile and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Huo Zhenhua, we must take good care of each other from now on.
At this moment, her weary heart seemed to have found a place to rest, wanting to rely on others and wanting to be lazy.
Her sweetness successfully infected Huo Zhenhua.
Huo Zhenhua mustered his courage and opened his arms, "Can I hug you?"
Su Meng hesitated for a moment, then laughed and nestled into his arms.
They had hugged before, but never before had they felt so close to each other.
It seemed as if their hearts were beating in unison through their clothes, even their voices were equally clear and beautiful.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, and Huo Zhenhua patted her on the back, "Go back quickly! I'll come find you for dinner tomorrow."
Su Meng rubbed her flushed face and deliberately asked, "Is the food in our cafeteria better than yours? You like it that much?"
Huo Zhenhua chuckled softly, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. "You and Comrade Huang are the only two female comrades in your institute."
Comrade Huang has a girlfriend.
"If I don't go, won't you be too lonely?"
Su Meng glared at him. "Thank you!"
She smiled and waved before slipping through the slightly ajar gate into the courtyard.
There was no one at home.
Su Meng walked around for a while and then entered Su Mianzhi's room, where she put down ten large boxes of yellow croaker, which should amount to around one million after the exchange.
These yellow croakers can only be safely sold if they are handed over to him.
And for her, being a hands-off manager doesn't seem so bad.
"Xiao Meng?" Su Mianzhi and A Da walked in one after the other.
He glanced at Su Meng, then looked at the ten boxes that had suddenly appeared in the room.
"These boxes...don't belong to us. Where did they come from?"
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Su Mianzhi's eyes, which then turned into doubt, and he warily gestured to A'da to bolt the courtyard gate.
Without blinking, Su Meng spoke a mix of truth and lies: "Dad, I emptied out the Su Mansion."
These are the items I retrieved from Shen Wuyang's account books, by comparing them with the items he sent out.
She spoke casually, as if taking back those treasures she had given away was as easy as drinking water.
Having navigated the ups and downs of the business world for decades, Su Mianzhi was well aware of the hardships involved.
He tenderly stroked Su Meng's head, his trembling eyelashes revealing his unease. "My little Meng is truly a woman who is just as capable as any man."
Not bad! You have the same boldness I had back then.
Ah Da laughed so hard that two more fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes. "If I had known, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted during the training."
You're a girl who's so weak she could barely jump over a wall, yet you managed to break through and retrieve these things.
What a waste of a martial arts talent.
Even if she didn't say it, everyone knew that Shen Wuyang's ability to establish himself in Shanghai for ten years must have been due to the mischief he caused to many of his family's children.
Those treasures were sent to those families.
Perhaps some of them were given away or sold.
That clever little devil came up with a good idea: converting it into yellow croaker.
They didn't ask Su Meng how she brought those boxes back.
They simply exchanged a relieved smile.
Su Mianzhi asked, "How do you plan to use these? Should I keep them as part of your dowry, or should I exchange them for cash?"
Su Meng smiled and brought them chairs. "These all belong to our Su family, so naturally the head of the Su family can make the decisions."
Su Mianzhi pointed at her with a fond smile, "These things are not easy to fulfill on the surface."
Luckily you were quick-witted and didn't go out and cause trouble.
Listen, you're a young woman, remember your identity as a military researcher. No matter what, you're never allowed to go to the black market.
We know exactly what's going on in this kind of thing. We don't want you to take the risk!
Su Meng knew they had many connections.
She crouched down beside him, hugging his arm softly, "Dad, I know."
After saying that, remembering Gu Yicheng's matter, she said seriously, "Dad, I saw a colleague's boyfriend today, and he looks a lot like the person who was following me in Shanghai..."
Then she recounted the incident of being followed, and told almost everything that happened after she returned to Shanghai, except for the matter of the space.
Su Mianzhi crossed his legs and said slowly, "Don't panic! We'll investigate that person."
As for the conversation between Director Jiang and Division Commander Tang today, I think it's necessary to tell you about it.
Don't you always lament that our country's naval equipment is too outdated?
Why don't we have a diesel engine factory in our military region that produces military diesel engines?
Let them produce and market the civilian-grade version locally. What do you think?
Upon hearing this, Su Meng's eyes widened instantly, sparkling with starlight, and her voice rose, "Dad, do you think so too?"
Hehe! Great minds think alike!
You have no idea how frustrating it is to be chased and attacked by a submarine. I was so angry back then that I wanted to transform into Nezha and smash it flat with my staff.
Seeing her gesturing excitedly, Su Mianzhi smiled and took her hand. "So, do you want to invest in submarine research or large-scale diesel propulsion?"
Su Meng was taken aback. "Is there a difference? As long as it's used to fight those despicable guys, it's fine."
Little did she know that her impulsive act of taking out ten boxes of yellow croakers had timely solved Su Mianzhi and his group's problem of insufficient funds.
If she knew, she could still pull out dozens of boxes without batting an eye.
Back then at the dock outside Luo Village, she collected supplies from two ships, a mere few dozen boxes were nothing to her.
She successfully delivered the items, and seeing that it was still early, she returned to her dormitory at the research institute.
That night, she once again worked like a workhorse in the virtual world.
After finishing the harvest with great effort, I rested for a while and then stayed in the space to continue reading and copying books.
After copying each chapter, he would draw a chibi version of Huo Zhenhua with different expressions and poses at the bottom of the page.
What she didn't know was that Huo Zhenhua was also studying late into the night.
He imitated Su Meng, drawing a chibi version of Su Meng at the bottom of each page after reading a chapter.
The two even tacitly labeled the date and time next to each chibi character.
Suddenly, a loud bugle call rang out.
Huo Zhenhua dropped his pencil, quickly put on his combat uniform, and shouted to Wang Qinglin, "Hurry up!"
They assembled urgently and set off immediately.
Huo Zhenhua glanced back in the direction of the research institute, then turned and rushed towards his battlefield.
When the bugle sounded, Su Meng had already fallen asleep again in the space.
When she woke up again, the warm yellow morning light peeked in through the gap in the curtains.
"Comrade Su Meng, Director Jiang wants you to attend an emergency meeting."
Huang Huaiying banged on her door loudly.
