He Jiayin looked at the clothes: "These were all bought according to your size. After I had a baby, my figure changed and I can't wear these clothes anymore!"
Yao Tongjia took out a coat: "Try this one, you should be able to wear it!"
Sure enough, when He Jiayin put it on, she looked even more capable and sophisticated. Looking at herself in the mirror, she immediately fell in love with the dress: "Then thank you so much, sister!"
Yao Tongjia also picked out a few pieces of jewelry and hair accessories for He Jiayin: "These are all quite suitable for you, you can take them too!"
He Jiayin tried them on and found they all suited her well. She turned to Yao Tongjia and asked, "Did you plan this all along?"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "These were all chosen for you when we were selecting them. Of course, we should share good things!"
He Jiayin looked at the silk scarf around her neck. It wasn't particularly eye-catching, but it made her look more elegant. She really couldn't refuse: "Then thank you!"
When He Jiayin arrived home, she was surprised to see her father. She quickly walked over and asked, "Dad, what brings you here?"
Old Mr. He noticed the silk scarf around his daughter's neck and exclaimed, "This silk scarf doesn't look like something we make!"
"Tongjia gave it to me. She said it was a gift from Miss Wu from Gangcheng. She sent a whole carload of gifts and unloaded them at the entrance of the military area. A lot of people saw it!"
Old He nodded: "She's using you to tell me that her father didn't take a bribe!"
"What bribery?" He Jiayin's expression turned serious when she heard about bribery!
"Someone just called me and said that Ruan Shengpeng accepted bribes, and that his daughter bought him so many gifts!"
He Jiayin took out her coat and showed it to Old Master He: "This is a gift from Tongtong. She probably didn't give me this coat because of the rumors outside."
"Her size is different from mine!"
Old Master He nodded: "It doesn't matter. The people below are probably afraid that I'll choose Sheng Peng as commander-in-chief, after all, that position is too attractive!"
"You can discuss the job issue yourselves. I'll only handle my own job matters. My only hope is that this trip abroad will allow me to get the most out of the least amount of money!"
"Do you have a solution?" Old He's eyes were full of anticipation. The country was too poor and lacked foreign exchange. There was no way to manufacture many modern instruments, so they had to go abroad to buy them.
"Dad, have you forgotten? Xiao Gengwu has a photographic memory. As long as they give us a chance to see the things, Xiao Gengwu will definitely not let us down!"
Old He's heart pounded. If he could manufacture it himself, he could not only save money but also make money. Was that possible? Old He thought of the foreign countries' vigilance towards China.
Calm down: "Safety first, don't push yourself!"
He Jiayin nodded: "Xiao Gengwu is our secret weapon. I'll tell them to be careful; we can't let him get hurt!"
The next day, someone came to see Old He again and told him about Ruan Shengpeng's bribery. Old He laughed and said, "You say he took bribes, but I'm saying I took bribes. Ruan Shengpeng's daughter gave my daughter several gifts!"
How could the visitor possibly respond to that? Clearly, he dared not speak. Old Master He continued, "Those gifts were given to the people of Hong Kong by their parents after the Ruan family girl cured their illnesses."
"It's said that half a plane's worth of goods were sent. There should be a record of this at customs. You can check it. If there's no evidence, it's best to say less in the future."
"With this energy, it's better to do more practical things for the people!"
The man was speechless and could only make up an excuse to leave! From then on, the matter of Ruan Shengpeng's bribery was quietly resolved.
When Ruan Shengpeng called to thank his superior, Old He laughed and scolded, "If it weren't for your daughter and son-in-law, I wouldn't bother with you. Solve your own problems, why are you blaming me?"
"You could have resolved this with just a few words, boss. I could have run myself ragged trying. Why waste my time here?"
"So you think I'm just supposed to clean up your mess?"
"You're too capable to do much, so please don't help me any more!" Ruan Shengpeng rarely acted coquettishly on the phone, but Old He felt a chill: "Go and act coquettishly with your wife!"
Then he slammed the phone down! Ruan Shengpeng rubbed his arm; it took a lot of courage to act cute towards an old man.
However, there was no other way. He still needed to advance his career and couldn't afford any negative news. It was better to have the old man say a few words for him than to run himself ragged without any results.
Ruan Shengpeng is not without temper. He remembers who spreads rumors about him behind his back and he will retaliate fiercely!
Xiao Gengwu already knew that the main purpose of this trip abroad was to discuss fighter jets, so he specially brought He Jiale and Yao Tongxu with him. The three of them went to the library and brought back all the books about fighter jets.
The three of them divided the work: He Jiale and Yao Tongxu were responsible for finding books, including those about the manufacturing principles of fighter jets, parts, and so on.
Xiao Gengwu sat quietly reading. He wanted to digest all the published content about fighter jets before going abroad so that he could absorb new knowledge.
Yao Tongjia has been helping her mother make clothes for the past two days. The fabric they used to make the cheongsams this time is silk.
Silk is one of the preferred materials for making cheongsams because it is soft, smooth, breathable, comfortable to wear, and has a good luster and texture.
Silk is a natural protein fiber with excellent breathability, moisture absorption, and warmth. Silk cheongsams are comfortable to wear, soft to the touch, and have a high sheen, beautifully showcasing a woman's elegant temperament.
After discussing it, Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia decided to use silk to make the cheongsam. To Yao Tongjia's surprise, Huang Yao's mother-in-law was actually a master at weaving silk.
The silk she produces is of very high quality; no wonder Yao Yanxin chose this material.
Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "Mom, how did you know she could knit silk?"
"You're too busy. There are so many things you don't know. Try to reduce your workload in the future, or you won't be able to handle it. When you have children, are you not going to spend time with them?"
Yao Tongjia blushed slightly, remembering how Xiao Gengwu always took things outside. "I know, I'll be more careful next time!"
Yao Yanxin said this casually. She knew that they were newly married and probably wouldn't think about so much, but she was also thinking about how she would have a child soon after getting married.
I still reminded you, "Be careful when you eat; married people can have children at any time!"
Yao Tongjia's face turned even redder: "Okay, okay, let's see if these buttons are alright!"
Yao Yanxin immediately shifted her attention, and Yao Tongjia breathed a sigh of relief!
