Chapter 438 Daily Life in the Main Hall (20)
On September 20, 2025, Jiang Ningyue was promoted to the rank of director.
Over the next year or so, Jiang Ningyue's work gradually became less busy. Shan State's poverty rate dropped from 40% to 3% thanks to its deepening cooperation with China.
This poverty rate means not having enough to eat. In Shan State, as long as you have hands and feet, it is difficult to be poor.
Of course, the government doesn’t provide a lot of relief funds, and even disabled people have to work to support themselves.
There are no beggars in Shan State. All beggars are imprisoned and forced to do labor.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
January 23, 2027, Capital International Airport.
Jiang Ningyue pulled Jiang Xingruo out of the airport, and Zhou Yan and Tang Lu followed behind with their luggage.
Zhou Yan asked, "General Manager, didn't you call the driver?"
Jiang Ningyue took out her phone from her bag and said, "My friend said he would come to pick me up, but I don't know where he is..."
"Why don't you squeeze in with us?" Tang Lu also invited, "We've called a taxi."
"Need not……"
As he was talking, he saw Gu Meng running over with a doll that was almost as tall as a person. "Hahaha~ I'm here."
Jiang Xingruo's eyes lit up, "Doll!"
"Yes, a doll."
Gu Meng smiled and touched Jiang Xingruo's head, "Ruoruo, do you still remember who I am?"
Jiang Xingruo looked at Jiang Ningyue in confusion, and Jiang Ningyue smiled and reminded her, "This is godmother."
"Godmother~"
Jiang Xingruo shouted in imitation.
“Hey.”
Gu Meng felt like she was about to produce milk, it was so cute, "What a good baby."
During the Chinese New Year last year, Jiang Ningyue went back to Beijing after reporting on her work and simply left without spending the New Year in the country.
The reason is very simple. Jiang Xingruo is still too young and Jiang Ningyue doesn't want to take her on a plane.
Now that she is two years old, Jiang Ningyue brings her back to China.
As she spoke, Gu Meng stuffed the big doll into Jiang Ningyue's hand and said, "Come, let godmother hug you."
Gu Meng held Jiang Xingruo in her arms, Jiang Ningyue held a doll in one hand, and Tang Lu and Zhou Yan helped drag the suitcases. Yes, Jiang Ningyue brought two large suitcases, one for her own things and the other for Jiang Xingruo's things.
After moving the luggage into the car, Jiang Ningyue looked at it and said, "Okay, Gu Meng, the safety seats are all installed."
"Of course."
Gu Meng held Jiang Xingruo in the safety seat. The back seat of the car was full of toys, and Jiang Xingruo's attention was completely attracted by the toys.
"Say goodbye to Aunt Tang and Aunt Zhou."
"Bye~" Jiang Xingruo waved goodbye to Tang Lu and Zhou Yan in a baby voice.
"See you again Ruoruo~"
Tang Lu and Zhou Yan waved goodbye to Jiang Xingruo reluctantly.
Jiang Xingruo is the happy pill of the entire consulate. The daily work of the consulate general is very simple and not very fun.
Teasing Jiang Xingruo is one of the most interesting activities.
The main reason is that Jiang Xingruo is so beautiful that everyone likes her since she was a child.
The vehicle drove out of the airport and onto the highway.
Gu Meng explained: "Zhao Rao went home for winter vacation."
"Oh, I know. I didn't ask her to pick me up either."
Jiang Ningyue replied casually.
Gu Meng asked curiously, "You've been in Myanmar for almost four years. When will you return home?"
"This year."
Jiang Ningyue thought for a moment and said, "But it will probably take until August, and I'll have to work for four years."
"When will that railway you keep talking about be completed?"
“It will probably be repaired in May.”
“It’s really not easy.”
"It's not bad. After all, it's all mountainous, and it's only a 200km/hour railway. If it were a high-speed train, it would probably be even slower."
The vehicle drove into the basement. Jiang Ningyue turned around and found that Jiang Xingruo had fallen asleep in the safety seat.
Jiang Ningyue carefully picked up Jiang Xingruo, and Gu Meng dragged the suitcase into the elevator.
"I fell asleep right away."
"A child."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "She was just excited on the plane. This is her first time back home."
"really."
After entering the house and putting Jiang Xingruo on the bed, Gu Meng carefully examined Jiang Xingruo's facial features. The more she looked, the more puzzled she became. "Yueyue, do you feel that Xingruo looks a bit like me? And a bit like you too."
Jiang Ningyue laughed, "Yes, yes, we had it together."
"I'm not kidding."
The more Gu Meng looked at him, the more he looked like him. "Really? His eyes are like yours, his nose and mouth are like mine, and his face shape is like yours."
"Yes, even if Xingruo closes her eyes, you can tell that her eyes look like mine." Jiang Ningyue teased with a smile.
Gu Meng rolled her eyes at Jiang Ningyue speechlessly, then smiled and teased, "Don't let Ruoruo stay with you in Mandalay. Let her live with me in the capital."
"Hehe." Jiang Ningyue smiled, "Ask her if she's willing."
"Wait until she wakes up."
Jiang Ningyue looked at Gu Meng with a smile, "This kid is always pestering me. He has to follow me even when I go to Dongzhi for a meeting or to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Gu Meng smiled and shook her head, "I feel like she and I are destined to be together, mother and daughter are connected by heart."
"You are still thinking about the mother-daughter relationship." Jiang Ningyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The next morning, Jiang Xingruo sat in the baby chair and ate her meal obediently. Gu Meng asked, "Ruoruo, can godmother take you out to play?"
Jiang Xingruo immediately turned to look at Jiang Ningyue, who immediately laughed, "You go with your godmother, Mom has to go to work."
After hearing this, Jiang Xingruo stared at Gu Meng for a few seconds and nodded, "Okay then."
"Huh?" Jiang Ningyue was surprised. "What's going on?"
"I've already told you, mother and daughter are connected by heart." Gu Meng was very happy after hearing this, and pulled Jiang Xingruo and said, "Let's go, let's go to the small garden downstairs to play for a while, there's a 'slide' there."
"'Slide!'"
Jiang Xingruo looked excited.
"Yes, let's go to the 'slide'."
"Where's Mom?" Jiang Xingruo turned to look at Jiang Ningyue.
"Mom goes to work."
Jiang Ningyue and Jiang Xingruo waved their hands, and Jiang Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the two leave.
But there is someone who can help me take care of the child. Although Jiang Xingruo is already a very obedient child, he wants to stick to me all day long, which is something no one can stand.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Ningyue. Could you tell me when Director Qian is available? I need to report to him on my work."
"Right now? Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ningyue came to the office of Zhonghai Qian Juwei. She sat in the lounge outside for about half an hour before Qian Juwei's secretary came in. "General Jiang, please go in first."
"OK."
Jiang Ningyue entered the office, and Director Qian looked at her with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, come and sit down."
After sitting down, Jiang Ningyue reported to Director Qian on the work done in the past 26 years and the progress of the China-Myanmar Railway.
Commissioner Qian nodded and said a few words of comfort. Then he started to go off topic.
"I heard that you brought your daughter back with you this time when you returned to China?"
As Consul General, Jiang Ningyue was also required to actively report her family situation to the Party organization. The Qian Bureau Committee and other high-ranking officials in the diplomatic field also knew that Jiang Ningyue had picked up a little girl outside the Consulate General. After searching for her parents through the Mandalay Police Station for several months without success, Jiang Ningyue adopted her.
The leaders had no objections to this and did not find it strange.
In a war-torn country like Myanmar, there are countless orphans without parents. The only thing that can be said is that this girl is lucky to be picked up by Jiang Ningyue.
"Ah, yes." Jiang Ningyue nodded with a smile, "She was too young last year, so I didn't bring her back."
"Well, do you have any photos? Let me see."
"have."
Jiang Ningyue took out her phone and said with a smile, "My photo albums are basically all filled with her photos now."
Jiang Ningyue opened the photo album and handed it to Director Qian. Director Qian flipped through it and smiled kindly, like an elder. "She's so cute."
"yes!"
Jiang Ningyue also smiled and nodded.
After a few small talk, Commissioner Qian asked, "Your term of office will end in August this year. I would like to ask for your personal opinion."
