Chapter 328
After Sun Xiaojun and Director Wang left, Ji Xingguo, who was writing furiously, slowly stopped.
He looked up from the documents, his eyes slightly lowered, and his face showed deep thought.
Just now, Sun Xiaojun blurted out that Ji Xingguo, a man of such experience and wisdom, could not be so easily fooled.
However, in front of Director Wang, Ji Xingguo wisely refrained from pressing the matter further.
However, this matter left a lingering doubt in his mind.
Why...why would Sun Xiaojun suddenly involve his daughter and Lei Tingjun?
Ji Xingguo frowned, deep in thought.
He recalled that the last time Zhou Peng, a worker in the workshop, left, he had specifically mentioned Lei Tingjun's college entrance exam to him.
After thinking it over, Ji Xingguo simply stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in his office, pondering.
A week ago, his daughter Ji Wanmei called him and said that she would be staying in East China during the May Day holiday to prepare for the opening of the new store next to the school and would not be coming back.
Ji Xingguo then asked Ji Wanmei if she needed his help, and if so, he could spare two days to go and see her.
But Ji Wanmei said it wasn't necessary; she had classmates and friends helping her over there.
The May Day holiday wasn't over yet, and Ji Xingguo turned around, looked at the landline phone on his desk, and thought for a moment before deciding to call his daughter to ask about the situation.
As for that Thunder Army, Ji Xingguo thought it would be necessary for him to have someone find out what he was doing in Pingdong.
He's been gone from the factory for a year, yet he can still influence the factory's employees. This guy is quite capable.
After thinking it through, Ji Xingguo walked over, picked up the landline phone, and dialed the number of the management office downstairs in his daughter's dormitory.
After waiting a while, the call was answered.
Ji Xingguo said politely, "Hello, I am the father of Ji Wanmei, a student in dormitory 308 of the Management Department. Please pass on Ji Wanmei to me."
The other end quickly replied, "Oh, you're looking for Ji Wanmei? I heard from her that she called this afternoon, but she hasn't been at school for the past few days. Her roommate said she's on holiday and went out of town."
Ji Xingguo was taken aback: "What did you say? She went to another city?"
The dormitory manager said, "Yes, but they should be back before the start of the semester. Why don't you call back in a couple of days?"
Ji Xingguo frowned and hung up the phone.
Meimei went out of town? Why didn't you tell him beforehand?
She's a young woman, delicate and frail, going to another city alone, even if it's just to buy goods, it's too unsafe for her to travel alone.
Ji Xingguo's heart immediately began to ache, and he was even more worried now, becoming anxious in his office.
Ji Wanmei is not at school now, and she doesn't have a mobile phone on her, so she has no address to contact her.
As an elderly father, how could I not worry?
Moreover, a strange thought was vaguely forming in Ji Xingguo's mind.
He still understands his daughter very well. Although she is quite independent and capable, she always seeks to be cautious in doing things and will never act rashly without a certain degree of certainty.
Last time, when she went to Zhejiang to purchase goods, she went with Luo Chunyan. He even hired a staff member who was on a business trip to escort her.
This time, she went to Guangzhou to buy goods, so there was absolutely no way she could have gone alone.
Whether it was for personal safety or the safety of her personal belongings—she was well aware of how many pickpockets and thieves robbed people on trains, and she wouldn't act so impulsively.
She would definitely bring someone she trusts with her.
Luo Chunyan is still running the shop in Pingquan County. At school, the only close friends Ji Xingguo knows of are a classmate named Zhou, and Lu Zhuoxuan, the grandson of Grandma Song, the inheritor of Shu embroidery.
“Zhou… Zhou something?” Ji Xingguo clapped his hands, remembering, “Right, I think it’s Zhou Min.”
After thinking it through, Ji Xingguo immediately made a phone call to the dormitory of East China University.
This time, his goal was clear: he directly said he was looking for Zhou Min from room 308.
******
Zhou Min, who was studying in her dormitory, was puzzled when she heard the dormitory manager downstairs say that someone had called looking for her.
Why would someone call looking for her?
My family never makes phone calls. In my hometown, in the countryside, people have never even seen a telephone before. Where would we find one?
Even if something happens, we usually write a letter.
With this suspicion in mind, Zhou Min went downstairs to answer the phone.
"Hello, this is Zhou Min. Who is this?"
Ji Xingguo said, "You are Zhou Min's classmate, right? I am Ji Wanmei's father. I want to ask you something."
Zhou Min was taken aback. Why would Ji Wanmei's father call looking for her?
On second thought, Ji Wanmei and her boyfriend went to Guangzhou to pick up goods these past few days and weren't at school. Her father probably had some urgent news at home.
So Zhou Min replied politely, "Uncle, hello, I'm Wanmei's roommate. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Ji Xingguo asked with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing. I just called the dorm manager and she said Ji Wanmei isn't here. I guess she went to Guangzhou to buy goods. Do you know, did she go alone this time? I'm a little worried about a young girl like her traveling so far."
Zhou Min said, "Oh no, she has a friend going with her. Uncle, don't worry, Wanmei is a sensible person and will definitely not let herself be without safety."
