It was now completely dark. In the past, Ren Rongzheng and Zhan Beiqin would have been asleep by this time, but now she didn't dare to close her eyes.
"Rong Zheng, aren't you planning on sleeping tonight?"
"I can't sleep, and I dare not sleep."
"Then I'll talk to you again."
Ren Rongzheng nodded. Fortunately, Wang Yuxia was with her at this time, otherwise she would really have collapsed.
Wang Yuxia tried her best to distract her and stop her from thinking about the war. Ren Rongzheng didn't know what time it was when he finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
If she had slept late like this in the past, she would have woken up late, but now it was no longer possible. Because she was worried, she got up at dawn. Wang Yuxia helped her to the public notice booth.
She had already gone early enough, but other military wives had gone even earlier than her. Ever since the casualty list came out yesterday, she felt uneasy not seeing them doing anything today.
Sure enough, after dawn, the list of casualties came out. Ren Rongzheng scanned the names on it with great trepidation, but did not find Zhan Beiqin. She took a breath and felt like she had just muddled through another day.
"There's no Brigade Commander, Rong Zheng, hurry home and have dinner."
"good."
Zhan Beiqin was not on the list of casualties, so at least Ren Rongzheng felt at ease today.
Ren Rongzheng and Wang Yuxia had just returned home and were halfway through their meal when they suddenly heard footsteps outside the yard, and it was clearly the sound of men's leather boots.
Ren Rongzheng really felt like she was possessed. When she heard this voice, she felt that Zhan Beiqin had returned. She quickly put down her chopsticks and walked out quickly.
"Beiqin!"
Ren Rongzheng walked quickly to the gate of the yard, but the person standing outside the yard was not Zhan Beiqin, but Cui Qinghe. The moment she saw him, the smile on her face froze.
Yes, the war hasn’t ended yet, how could Zhan Beiqin suddenly come back?
But when he saw the change in Ren Rongzheng's expression, Cui Qinghe really felt that he was a clown.
Why had he coveted Ren Rongzheng before? Why did he think there was no love between her and Zhan Beiqin? He was simply ridiculous!
"Boss Cui."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"No, Mr. Cui, please come in."
"No, Brigade Commander Zhan is not at home. If I go in, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on you. I'll just stand here and talk to you. Just a few words."
"Okay, Boss Cui, you decide."
"You didn't deliver the shipment that was due this month."
Hearing this, Ren Rongzheng was about to explain, but Cui Qinghe immediately interrupted him and said, "I understand your difficulties, and I am not an unsympathetic person. During the war, everything is understandable, so I don't plan to rush for the goods, let alone ask for any compensation.
The clothing business is struggling due to the war, and my business has dropped significantly recently. Since this place is not far from the war zone, my family is worried about me. They called me yesterday and told me to go back as soon as possible.
Yes, Cui Qinghe is not a local, and his home is so far away from here. It is definitely safer to go home than here.
"It's understandable. Parents are the most concerned. This place is closest to the war zone. If our soldiers can't hold it, the enemy will attack here first. Of course they'll be worried. Since they told you to go home, then hurry back."
"I didn't want to go back originally, but my family was worried and I had no choice. Our cooperation will continue, but I'm not in a hurry to get the goods now, after all, I can't sell them even if I get them.
Let's put it on hold for now. I'll contact you when I need the goods. Will the goods be sent to this office or to my head office? Wait for my news."
"Of course, and thank you, Boss Cui, for not giving up on me. I will always remember that you were my first partner. Without your approval, I wouldn't have opened this factory. I will always remember this, and I will be forever grateful to you."
"No need. As a businessman, profit is everything. I am also doing this to make money. You don't have to thank me. I also hope that Brigade Commander Zhan can return safely soon."
"I'll give you my good wishes."
"I don't know if I'll come back after I leave. If not, this will be the last time we meet. Please take care of yourself."
Although she didn't have a very deep friendship with Cui Qinghe, she still felt sad when he said that.
"Take care of yourself, and I hope your business will grow bigger and bigger. I wish you all the best in the future."
"Thank you, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Boss Cui."
Afterwards, Ren Rongzheng watched Cui Qinghe walk out. The moment she saw him get into the car, Ren Rongzheng suddenly felt that she was experiencing endless losses.
That feeling really makes people feel sad. She is really afraid that one day everyone around her will leave her. If that is the case, what is the point of her living again?
She didn't dare to think further. In order to give herself something else to think about, she and Wang Yuxia went to the factory today. The newly recruited female workers were already working, and many military wives also came to work today. Seeing this situation, Ren Rongzheng was still very relieved.
Because of the war period, especially in this area, most businesses were like Ren Rongzheng's factory, extremely depressed, and some small workshops had already closed down.
But the steel mill is still doing a booming business every day. Just today, the government purchased a lot of steel to make weapons.
"Naiyao, the news last night said that this war will continue for a long time. If our sales volume remains at this level every day, we will be making a fortune!"
Ruan Lingling now has to lie in bed and sleep every day. If she continues to maintain this level, her wealth will soon surpass that of the Chu family.
"The government asking for so much at once makes me feel quite anxious."
"Why are you so nervous about this? Isn't this a good thing? It's not like you won't pay me."
"Logically, we should have sufficient weapons prepared for the battle. Why do we need so much steel during the war? This means we are fighting a difficult battle. If the soldiers at the front can't hold on and attack us, we will be in trouble too."
"What's the problem? We've made enough money anyway. If they really come, we can just run away. At worst, we can emigrate abroad. We're so rich, what's there to worry about? It's the poor people who can't run away."
"That's what I said, but it suddenly made me worried that there might be traitors. Otherwise, why is this battle so difficult?"
"Why do you care if he's a traitor or not? We can just make money on our own. You're not a soldier. We're just businessmen. Money comes first. If you shouldn't think about this, don't even think about it."
After Ruan Lingling finished speaking, she began to count the money happily. Ren Naiyao was really a little nervous, but he couldn't tell why.
