Madam Ning had no interest in shopping at the moment. She went there and immediately bought the jewelry she wanted and gave it to Ning Yuan to generate foreign exchange revenue for the country.
Then, she hurriedly finished her meal with Ning Yuan and stuffed her daughter, along with her jewelry, back into the compound.
Afterwards, Madam Ning went straight back to the hotel and personally called Ou Minglang's father: "Old Ou, are you free tonight? I'd like to talk to you again about the project we discussed the day before yesterday."
After making arrangements for dinner that evening, she thought for a moment and then made another phone call.
Just because she hasn't returned to the mainland for many years doesn't mean she doesn't know anyone there.
It's always better to ask two people in person about some things.
...
The next day, the Rong family
"Dongdong, don't cry, take good care of yourself." He Su gently comforted the anxious girl on the phone before hanging up.
As soon as she hung up the phone, her face turned cold: "So stupid, all you do is cry!"
Seeing this, Aunt Xu brought her a fruit platter: "Su Su, don't be angry. Ye Dong is still young and spoiled. It's not bad that he did this."
He Su ate a slice of watermelon expressionlessly: "When I was seventeen, I had my eye on Rong Wenwu and I was able to win him over. These girls, from Qin Hongxing to Ye Dong, are all hothouse flowers, utterly useless, and can't even sleep with a man."
These days, these ordinary soldiers or respectable men from good units, despite their seemingly aloof and unattainable appearance, are actually the easiest to manipulate.
As long as you can use any means to sleep with them and then act like you don't want to live, they will take responsibility for you no matter what, for the sake of their reputation and so-called "sense of responsibility" and "feeling guilty"!
As for how to get along with them after forcing them to get married, that's another matter.
"It started off so well, but now it's stuck here. According to the plan, Rong Zhaonan should be going to the hospital more often!"
He Su rubbed her temples in frustration, feeling very upset.
Xiang Sandu said that Ning Yuan, that country bumpkin, should be causing trouble with Rong Zhaonan.
Rong Zhaonan felt guilty towards the Ye family, so he would instinctively make concessions to Ye Yuan and Ye Dong. Just like Rong Zhaonan and his father, she had subtly influenced them to develop a relationship where their conflicts were irreconcilable and they were about to explode whenever they met...
She has always been very accurate in understanding people's hearts.
Aunt Xu was also puzzled: "Yes, Ye Dong has been hospitalized for half a month. Rong Zhaonan has not appeared except for the time he took her to the hospital. This is different from what we predicted at the beginning."
He Su didn't say anything, but walked to the encrypted phone in the small study with a cold face and dialed a number.
Rong Zhaonan's recent behavior has exceeded her expectations, which makes her feel uneasy.
A short while later, Xiang San's lazy, slightly drunken voice rang out from the other end: "Hey."
"Xiang San, what are you doing? Why haven't we heard anything about Rong Zhaonan? Are the people around you a bunch of useless trash?!" He Su questioned him bluntly.
Xiang San impatiently shooed away the woman who was clinging to him before lighting a cigarette and saying, "It's really rare to have the chance to personally receive a call from Sister He Su."
This woman is like a venomous snake in a cave; she rarely peeks out, leaving no trace of her.
He lit a cigarette and said sarcastically, "Didn't I tell you? Last time I went to keep an eye on him, he and his car disappeared. I haven't even asked you to help me find him yet, and you have the nerve to come to me!"
He Su said coldly, "What does your disappearance have to do with me!"
Xiang San chuckled and exhaled a puff of smoke: "What does this have to do with you? One of your personal secretaries from two years ago is from your hometown!"
He Su tightened her grip on the microphone, her face instantly darkening: "You tricked me?"
Xiang San sneered: "How is this considered plotting against you? We should be in the same boat. To dismantle the enemy, we must start from within. Aren't you one of Rong Zhaonan's people? There's no reason why only our Xiang family is struggling, right? You have to help our Xiang family out."
He Su took a deep breath and sneered, "Fool, who would believe I colluded with you? Believe me or not, I can make people believe you're framing me with a flick of my finger, and send you back to jail. Let's see if the Xiang family can get you out this time!"
Everything that Lao Rong has and the future of the Rong family belong to her and her children. She will never harm her own and her children's interests!
Xiang San slowly curled the corners of his lips: "Sister He Su, Aunt He, don't get agitated. I didn't intend for Uncle Rong to believe that we had any dealings, but as long as Rong Zhaonan knows, that's enough, right?"
He sighed, as if regretting it: "Do you think he'll find out that you not only colluded with me, but also that you're in contact with Ye Dong? He's a top-notch reconnaissance soldier, right? Either he didn't think of this, or if he gets suspicious, it won't be difficult for him to investigate. And if he finds out, guess what will happen?"
He Su's expression changed, and she slammed the phone down.
"Su Su!" Aunt Xu looked at He Su with concern.
He Su got up, feeling restless, and walked to the window, looking towards Chen Chen's family compound.
"I'm fine. I need to think things through carefully, calmly rethink them, and review our plans and strategies."
He Su stood by the window with her arms crossed, impatiently interrupting Aunt Xu.
She gets Tang Jun to do things entirely by getting something for nothing, relying entirely on her cunning and skill.
Xiang San, that bastard she's completely fooled, still dares to threaten her?!
Aunt Xu dared not speak.
He Su took a few deep breaths, pondering in her mind, when she suddenly saw Rong Wenwu and Secretary Qiu get into the car in the courtyard. She frowned: "Where is Old Rong going?"
Aunt Xu also looked out the window: "According to the schedule, there should be a tea party this afternoon."
He Su frowned: "Why didn't he tell me that he usually takes me with him to these non-official events?"
She was adept at social interaction and always had a good rapport with others; she also enjoyed the glorious moments of being Mrs. Rong.
The last time I spoke with Rong Zhaonan, he didn't let me be there!
Rong Wenwu's change is not a good thing. Xiang Dong disappointed him, and he wants to find Rong Zhaonan again, so he has distanced himself from her.
He Su snorted coldly, her eyes filled with icy malice.
...
Xiyuan Guesthouse
There is a lotus pond in the guesthouse, and the pond is full of lotus flowers.
The entire courtyard served as the venue for this year's tea party for retired cadres. Representatives from each unit came out to talk to the elderly and see if their unit's retired staff had any feedback.
It was a lively and warm atmosphere, with a group of elderly people chatting and laughing together.
Ning Yuan arrived at five o'clock and was seated in a small private room by the lotus pond to wait. Tea was served to her.
Bored, she asked the waiter for fish food and sat by the window feeding the koi in the pond for half an hour.
She saw Rong Wenwu accompanying several elderly men and women in this direction, as if he was seeing them off.
Ning Yuan quickly ducked her head, just as she was about to close the window.
Suddenly, she made eye contact with an old lady. The old lady was taken aback, then smiled at her and said, "Oh my, isn't this the little girl who goes fishing?"
Another old man watched her feed the fish and laughed, "You can't fish here, so you're just feeding them?"
Ning Yuan glanced over and saw that Rong Wenwu was also looking at her, frowning, seemingly annoyed by something.
She ignored Xiao Ai's father and greeted the elderly women and men with a smile: "What a coincidence! Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, for the shrimp you gave me last time."
She recognized them too; these elderly men and women were the ones she had fished with at Tingguan Reservoir last time.
This place in Beijing is really something; you could throw a brick and it'd hit a leader.
But then she thought about how today was a tea party for retired cadres, and Ning Yuan suddenly realized that it wasn't so strange to run into them.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?" the kind-looking old lady asked.
As she got older, she grew fond of this cheerful-looking little girl with big eyes, who was clever and polite.
He's still a college student, and although he looks young, he speaks with substance and even gave the older folks the biggest fish in return.
Ning Yuan glanced at her father-in-law, who was frowning, and coughed lightly, "I'm waiting for someone."
The old lady asked, "Has the person you're waiting for arrived? When will they come?"
Ning Yuan glanced at Rong Wenwu, who had been keeping a straight face and hadn't said a word. This little love dad of his wasn't saying anything, but she had!
She shook her head: "I don't know."
An old man chuckled and looked at the middle-aged man beside him: "Xiao Zhuo, this is the young lady we told you about last time. She has some very insightful ideas. Would you like to listen? Your organization, which is in charge of planning and development, should be open-minded and listen to the opinions of the masses!"
Ning Yuan was stunned: "Ah... I was just talking nonsense!"
And then there was this part that she never expected! Wasn't it just some idle chatter while fishing at the reservoir?
The middle-aged man called Xiao Zhuo was taken aback, and looked at Rong Wenwu hesitantly: "This..."
He had also heard several elderly people mention that he had met a very insightful female college student at the reservoir.
Although those statements were indeed somewhat simplistic, they were quite original and offered some perspectives he hadn't considered.
He also wanted to hear what the older generation had to say about this young girl that had made them think about her for so long.
but……
He remembered that Lao Rong had something to do, right? Didn't they come to see a few old people off and then part ways?
Zhuoyue looked at Rong Wenwu and asked for his opinion.
The old lady also looked at Rong Wenwu and waved her hand impolitely: "Xiao Rong, you're not in our line of work, and your company can't help Xiao Zhuo. Don't you have something to do? Hurry up and go. You don't need to see me off."
When the person the little girl was waiting for arrived, they didn't want to disturb her for too long.
“That’s right, that’s right, you have nothing to do with this, go on, go on.” The old man also urged people to leave.
Rong Wenwu's face froze: "..."
What a mess these days are all about!
