The people inside didn't seem to be discussing anything good; they were all speaking in hushed tones, but they all looked quite excited. They were talking animatedly, gesturing wildly as they spoke.
Jiang Qiao, who was extremely curious, really wanted to know what these people were up to.
He slid down the corner of the wall, slipped into the space, and then lay down against the wall to eavesdrop.
Good heavens, you don't know until you listen! She was shocked to hear several local dialects. Although the other person wanted to speak Mandarin, their accent couldn't be changed. When they were happy, they naturally brought out their local accent.
All he talked about was their great achievements over the past two years. The key point was that she couldn't understand why Zhao Jianjun had come all this way just to hear this.
What excuse did Jiang Hong use to bring people over, and what was her purpose?
Is this the only time these two people have been in contact? It seems impossible no matter how you look at it.
Peeking inside, wow, Jiang Hong's hand was holding Zhao Jianjun's hand under the table. However, Zhao Jianjun seemed a little evasive, but on the surface, he was all smiles, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Jiang Qiao gave a bitter laugh in her spatial dimension. Zhao Jianjun has really honed his skills over the years. Look at his shamelessness; she really couldn't do that.
But why did Jiang Hong take a liking to Zhao Jianjun? Putting aside the differences between them, their current situations are completely incompatible.
Jiang Qiao had too many questions and couldn't figure them out for the time being.
However, none of this stopped the people inside from having a lively discussion, and Zhao Jianjun listened from the side and then offered a few words of praise.
"I called everyone over today because it's been a long time since I've seen you all, my comrades who fought alongside me."
Also, I'd like to introduce Comrade Jianjun to you all. We're all friends, so if anything happens, we can look out for each other.
The others nodded in agreement. "That's right, Comrade Jianjun. You and Jiang Hong grew up in the same compound. We live far away and can't take care of her often. It's not easy for her, a woman."
Jianghe has also developed health problems. In the future, you'll have to take good care of our girl. To be honest, I've met quite a few women on the road, but not many are as understanding as Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong smiled to herself. These people, despite their loud antics, were actually quite adaptable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten involved with them.
If there are benefits, everyone can share them. If the other party doesn't want something, she can pay for it. These people are here to exchange items.
However, she doesn't plan to tell Zhao Jianjun about this yet. Although she herself can't quite explain their relationship, she doesn't care and has no intention of getting married right now.
Taking advantage of this great era, she needs to make money quickly, accumulate more wealth and connections. In the future, even if she doesn't have much ability, with these, she can simply open her mouth and pull some strings, and the money will naturally go into her pocket.
Jiang Qiao had no idea what Jiang Hong was thinking. If she did, she could only scoff and say, "Putting it into your pocket is a crime, you know. You'll get caught sooner or later."
As they chatted, the conversation turned to their own affairs, and Jiang Hong took the opportunity to help Zhao Jianjun find connections.
"Does anyone know Da Tou? Brother Jianjun hasn't moved from his spot for a long time. You know, a person needs talent and ability, so we can't let that talent go to waste, right?"
"We can't just keep suppressing them because they're young, do any of you guys have connections in that area?"
The people inside started rummaging around. Jiang Qiao, listening from outside, shook her head repeatedly, wondering what kind of trouble Jiang Hong was having.
Zhao Jianjun and Jiang Hong are definitely not people who can get along. She can't figure out what's wrong with Jiang Hong's mentality, that she has to get involved with Zhao Jianjun.
Based on Jiang Hong's slightly better looks than Zhao Jianjun's wife? That's really unreliable. Beauty fades with time. If Zhao Jianjun can change wives one day, what about in the future? He might change to someone else.
Jiang Qiao just couldn't understand what this wandering ghost was all about. Logically speaking, if it came from the future, it shouldn't be that old, right?
Putting everything else aside, just look at what happened before. It seems like they didn't take it to heart at all. That takes a lot of mental strength. They must be someone who has experienced a lot in life. So why are they suddenly so upset now?
The people in the room weren't people Jiang Qiao looked down on. They were people who, despite making such a fuss, could still hang out with Jiang Hong and her brother. They weren't much better. As for how powerful their background was, that was really not the case.
And sure enough, after all that effort, these people came up with a terrible idea: if you want to get to a certain position, you have to bring down the other person, using all sorts of methods.
Jiang Qiao was truly amazed this time. These guys really went to any lengths. It was a waste of their talents. If they had been sent to the front lines when the Japanese were rampaging, do you think they could have killed a few more Japanese soldiers?
She then dismissed the idea, saying that these people could all become traitors, with no conscience and no bottom line. How could such people be good people?
Jiang Qiao had observed Zhao Jianjun's expression before. When he heard these suggestions, his eyes lit up, but then his expression became somewhat conflicted. Jiang Qiao just didn't know what he was struggling with. Was he unable to bring himself to do it, or was he feeling guilty?
However, based on her limited understanding of Zhao Jianjun, neither of those two possibilities might be true. Perhaps he was considering that it wouldn't be appropriate to do it himself, as it would easily expose his target, so finding someone else might be a better option.
And sure enough, Jiang Qiao's guess was pretty close to the truth; that's exactly what Zhao Jianjun was thinking too.
He usually thought he was smart, but after meeting these people, he was truly amazed by how many good ideas he hadn't thought of.
Actually, I did consider using these people in front of me, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. I'm not familiar with them, and if word gets out, how will he ever be able to stay in this area again?
He turned to look at Jiang Hong, his feelings complicated. He really hadn't expected that this person, whom everyone in the compound looked down upon, had actually made so many friends in private. He had misjudged her.
Jiang Qiao then saw Zhao Jianjun take the initiative to grasp the hand under the table.
He sighed inwardly. Had they hooked up?
Come to think of it, Jiang Hong really has skill and cunning. I guess the two of them were just flirting before without any real progress. Tonight, I guess there should be a breakthrough.
While Zhao Jianjun went to the restroom, Jiang Qiao overheard the group quickly telling Jiang Hong about their recent gains.
