The meal was uncomfortable for both sides. The person in charge of the technical department felt stifled because they couldn't speak, and Wen Minting felt awkward and uncomfortable because no one responded to her words.
Fan Xiaofan seemed to sense something; it seemed that Wen Minting was trying to please him.
Why is that?
She privately told Liu Fang about this. Liu Fang and Gu Wenyan had told her that because of her special status, all sorts of people would try to approach her under various pretexts, and she had to be careful to distinguish them.
After listening, Liu Fang frowned and pondered carefully about Wen Minting: "Xiao Fan, last time you asked me to inquire about someone from her. I have some dealings with her. She doesn't seem scheming on the surface, but you can't judge a book by its cover, so we still need to be careful..."
He paused, then added, "Since the matter concerning Wu Ying was related to the Wen family, perhaps you could ask the person who asked you to inquire about it."
Fan Xiaofan nodded.
She eventually discussed this matter with Shi Lingheng. Shi Lingheng was investigating something, but since the Wen family was involved, there was no need to hide it.
After listening, Shi Lingheng simply said, "I will have someone investigate. Wait for my news."
Just as the two finished discussing this matter, Wen Yuennan returned, looking exhausted, carrying farm tools. In the countryside, winter is usually a time of agricultural leisure, and most households spend their time hibernating. But now it's different. Even in winter, the agricultural season is still busy, and each production brigade has its own tasks, which include deep plowing. Despite it being winter, this hard work leaves them drenched in sweat, and the cold wind makes the sweat evaporate and feel even colder.
Her head was also covered in snow-white frost.
Fan Xiaofan blinked, glanced at Shi Lingheng, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Her?"
She had never noticed before, but upon seeing the person, she suddenly remembered that this person also had the surname Wen.
The surname Wen is not like common surnames such as Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao, which are easy to encounter. How come I happened to run into two of them?
Shi Lingheng clearly sensed the question Fan Xiaofan wanted to ask from her slightly sly look and nodded.
When Wen Yuennan saw Shi Lingheng and Fan Xiaofan standing in the courtyard, she couldn't help but snort...
Shi Lingheng and Fan Xiaofan did not choose a secluded place to talk; they openly and honestly conversed here.
Fan Xiaofan's eyes darted around quickly after Shi Lingheng's affirmative answer. She then stepped forward to help Wen Yuennan settle the things she was carrying, and casually remarked, "Wen, there's another girl in our factory with the same surname as you. I originally thought there weren't many people with the surname Wen, but it turns out there are quite a few, otherwise we wouldn't have met so easily..."
Wen Yuennan originally wanted to refuse when Fan Xiaofan offered her help. After all, Fan Xiaofan was in such a sorry state, and even if she was willing, she was still a girl at heart. Fan Xiaofan standing there clean and tidy made her feel uncomfortable.
But unexpectedly, she suddenly brought this up...
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuennan's hands froze for a moment, and the words of refusal she wanted to say remained unspoken.
"It might just be a coincidence..."
Before she came here, her family had told her not to have any contact with the Wen family of Qingcheng for a while.
Her task was to blend in and keep an eye on Shi Lingheng.
Fan Xiaofan smiled and said, "Is that so... What a coincidence... I thought you two were related, like the relative she mentioned who has a washing machine at home..."
