When she looks in the mirror, she subconsciously glances at her waist and finds that it is indeed thinner than before.
To be honest, the main reason is that the food here is not to her liking.
…
That day, as usual, she ate a terrible lunch in the cafeteria of the support hospital.
But suddenly, she heard several project assistants talking about something like someone coming to inspect from above.
Somehow, she became interested and listened to their conversation quietly, occasionally saying a word or two to them.
"This inspection is definitely not that simple."
"Yes, it is said that their inspection team will stay in Area X for a whole month."
"I heard that the leaders might also discuss some welfare issues with the designated hospital here."
"I also heard that they brought a lot of supplies with them this time. We can get some supplies when the time comes."
"That's great! I'm almost vomiting from all this foreign food. I really hope they can bring more food here. I'm already crying just thinking about the delicious food back home."
"Oh, it makes me want to go home."
"It's all the same. Who wouldn't want to go back..."
After hearing this, Chen Yao also wanted to return home.
She is here, and although she visits her parents when she is free every week and is accompanied by her loved ones, she still feels that China is the best.
If you just keep going, you should be able to go back in half a year.
…
In the Gu family villa.
The Gu family members gathered together to give Gu Ci a farewell party.
Mr. Gu first praised Gu Ci's performance during this period, then praised Gu Jing's careful guidance, and finally raised his glass and asked everyone to clink glasses together.
There were crisp sounds of glass colliding, accompanied by everyone's laughter. Gu Ci raised his wine glass and silently took a big sip.
The bitter taste of alcohol passed through his throat, Gu Ci suddenly smiled and poured himself another glass.
Seeing this, Gu Jing clinked glasses with him privately and said, "I'm a little worried about you going there this time, so I'll arrange for Special Assistant Zhou to accompany you later."
Gu Ci had no objection: "Okay, then it's him."
Gu Jing: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask him, he will understand."
Gu Ci: ...
I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something else behind his brother's words.
Gu Jing continued: "Ahem... Anyway, remember everything I told you."
Gu Ci nodded: "Yes, I know. When talking to the person in charge of the hospital, you must pay attention to strategy and don't put too much pressure on us. Don't do it like the last time we negotiated with the Xu family."
Gu Jing pursed his lips and said, "Well, apart from official business, you'd better... take it easy on other things."
Gu Ci raised his eyebrows and deliberately asked, "What else?"
Gu Jing: ...
Asking despite knowing the answer.
Then, Gu Ci answered himself: "I know my limits, don't worry."
Gu Jing shook his wine glass slightly, thinking that Gu Ci had suddenly become a little strange in the past six months.
He is motivated and can independently take charge of and promote some projects. He can also negotiate cooperation on his own, but he still feels that he has become more and more profound, as if he is holding back something in his heart.
He was really afraid that he would bring this energy to Area X and cause chaos there. He didn't know if he was thinking too much. In short, he would feel more at ease if he let Special Assistant Zhou go with Gu Ci.
Seeing that Gu Ci didn't eat much, Grandma Gu asked with concern: "Xiao Ci, what's wrong? Is today's food not to your liking? I see you haven't eaten much."
Gu Ci then took a few chopsticks of food and said, "Grandma, I'm eating."
Grandma Gu thought about the lack of supplies in Area X and said distressedly, "Eat more. You won't have these over there later. It's bitter."
Mother Gu also said, "Xiao Ci, if you feel you can't adapt to the situation there, just come back and let your brother go instead."
Gu Ci said calmly: "I'm not a child, there's nothing I can't adapt to."
Mother Gu: "You have never suffered that kind of hardship since you were a child. Your grandmother and I did not approve of your brother's arrangement."
Gu Ci: "I said I wanted to go myself. It has nothing to do with my brother."
Grandpa Gu, who is hard of hearing, said: "What? You want to get married?"
Grandma Gu: ...
This old man secretly took off his hearing aids without her knowledge.
She signaled the nanny to bring hearing aids so that the old man wouldn't mishear what was said again because of his hearing loss.
Grandpa Gu continued with a smile: "It's good to get married, Xiao Ci, Grandpa supports you."
Grandma Gu glanced at him sideways and said, "Xiao Ci never mentioned the word 'daughter-in-law' at all. I don't know how you heard it."
Grandpa Gu said innocently, "That's what I heard."
When Grandma Gu saw the nanny brought the hearing aid, she put it on Grandpa Gu without saying a word.
Grandpa Gu: ...
Gu Ci smiled.
Grandma Gu ignored Grandpa Gu and just smiled as she picked up some food for Gu Ci. She said, "Grandma doesn't have any other requirements for you. I just want you to eat well every day. When you get there, remember to send grandma photos of your meals from time to time."
Gu Ci nodded and said, "Okay."
Father Gu also reminded him, "The sanitation conditions there are poor. Be careful when eating out, especially with meat, as it may have a strange smell."
Mother Gu frowned. "Is it that bad? I don't even want Xiao Ci to leave."
Gu Ci said, "It's okay, Mom. Don't think too much."
