Chapter 1193 Concealment
Gradually, when Tang Mei didn't mention Lu Miao's call when she got home, Fu Jingyou stopped asking.
But Fu Jingyou went to the Kuo-ying Society once and then went there again.
He used to pick up Lu Miao from get off work, and many young colleagues on the first floor of the Guoyingshe building were familiar with him.
While he was frequently checking in at the Guoying Press, the news that "Minister Lu's wife has been coming here recently, but each time she only stays at the door for a while before leaving" also reached the ears of senior executives in the press.
We received news from the international community a while ago that senior executives of the British Socialist Society have been holding frequent meetings during this period.
Now that this news has come out, the leaders from all sides have become even more cautious.
Lu Miao has not returned yet, and this matter is somewhat confidential.
In the beginning, in order to avoid causing panic among the family members and even the general public, there was a unanimous internal consensus not to tell the family members for the time being.
But judging by the current situation, I'm afraid the secret won't last much longer. Sooner or later, the family members will be unable to restrain themselves and come to inquire about the news...
To avoid further unrest caused by a clash between the two sides, President Qin looked at Minister Zhan at another meeting and issued a decisive order:
"Have the other foreign affairs team members involved in this incident withdrawn first. Minister Lu's assistant often visits her home and should be familiar with the family. See if you can arrange for an assistant to go and calm the family first."
Minister Zhan nodded. President Qin flipped through two pages of fax information and asked seriously:
"Is there any new news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Another minister in the conference room replied:
"They said they are still negotiating."
President Qin said, "We'll urge him again later. Even if the assistant can calm him down, the effect won't last long. The most urgent task is to bring Minister Lu back safely as soon as possible."
"yes."
"Subsequently, any departments that have any news related to Minister Lu should report to me immediately. If there is nothing else, we will adjourn this meeting."
"yes."
"yes!"
…
As time gradually approached December, Lu Yuanzheng's number of meetings increased significantly.
On this day of heavy snow in December, Lu Yuanzheng finished his meeting early and went home at noon for the rare occasion.
As soon as he entered the room and handed the bag to Tang Mei, he asked:
"How's Xiaofu doing these days? What have you been busy with?"
Tang Mei was about to speak when Fu Jingyou came down from the stairs first.
Lu Yuanzheng was stunned.
Fu Jingyou is a person who can't sit still. It's considered good if he doesn't work overtime and comes home late. It's a rare thing for him to be at home during the day.
Lu Yuanzheng looked up and down at Fu Jingyou, and sure enough, he saw that he was holding a half-inch thick file bag in his hand.
Lu Yuanzheng's brows darkened instantly:
"What are you going to do?"
Fu Jingyou stepped forward to hang up the file bag, without hiding anything, and said truthfully:
"I'll go to the British News Agency and ask. If I can't get any information, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau."
Lu Yuanzheng's brows furrowed even deeper, and his tone was harsh with a hint of reprimand:
"What are you going to the Public Security Bureau for? Can the Public Security Bureau handle this matter if you go there?"
Fu Jingyou knew that he had misunderstood, so he explained:
"I'm not going to the police. I've asked someone, and I've learned that entry-exit passports must be applied for at the Public Security Bureau. If Miaomiao can't come back in the short term, I'll go see her. If she's fine, I'll be right back."
“…”
Lu Yuanzheng laughed.
I don’t know whether I was angry, annoyed, or helpless.
There was a brief silence in the living room. Just as Fu Jingyou was about to move, Lu Yuanzheng frowned and suppressed his restlessness and said:
"Don't worry about this matter for now, I have something else to tell you."
Fu Jingyou stopped and turned around to wait for his next words.
Lu Yuanzheng said, "There are only a handful of CNC machines in China right now, and you're probably the only one in Beijing. This is new equipment and technology. You're not busy lately, so why not take a few days off and let the students from the school visit your factory?"
Fu Jingyou graduated from Renmin University and he knows what the school is like.
When he was in school, he also went to various large factories for on-site learning according to the school's arrangements.
He had no objection to his father-in-law's arrangement, but he still refused, though he didn't say it too firmly:
"That's fine, but not right now. I have other things to do."
When Lu Yuanzheng heard this, how could he not understand what he was planning?
He is determined.
He just wants to go to the British Social Service Agency, he just wants to get a certificate to go abroad, he just won't give up!
When Lu Yuanzheng thought of this, he became furious and said with a cold face:
"Is it so easy to go abroad? Do you think you can just cross a threshold and leave at any time? The school notice has been sent out, and this matter can't be postponed. You should quickly arrange what needs to be done!"
Lu Yuanzheng's voice became louder, but Fu Jingyou was no less vocal.
He had just brushed shoulders with Lu Yuanzheng and was now standing to the side of the door.
Hearing this, he got angry and slapped the door panel against the wall with a loud "duang" sound.
"Have you discussed this with me? Am I a piece of shit? I'll do whatever you tell me to do. Can't I have my own business?"
Fu Jingyou already had many concerns about Lu Miao's trip abroad.
Fu Jingyou couldn't get in touch with Lu Miao for a long time and didn't know what Lu Miao was doing over there. His worries grew day by day.
Some time ago, it was entirely because Lu Miao had given advance warning, saying that he would be busy for a while, that he might not have time to call home during this period, and that he would contact his family in advance before returning home, etc.
Fu Jingyou managed to get through it by suppressing his emotions.
But Lu Miao was like a stone sinking to the bottom of the lake.
Since that phone call at the end of August, it is now almost a third of December and the family has not received any news from her.
For those who left in July, it has been almost half a year now!
Fu Jingyou couldn't hold on any longer.
He became visibly gloomy and irritable.
Even yesterday, after work at the factory, Dandan and the others were caught and scolded by him just because they were two seconds late in cleaning the CNC machine workbench...
When this happened today, Fu Jingyou couldn't control his anger:
"If it's difficult to go abroad, are you just not going? There's no news about such a big living person, and you're not worried at all! That's your daughter! She's my wife! You can ignore it, but I can't!"
"you……"
This was the first time the father-in-law and son-in-law had met on the battlefield. Tang Mei was shocked by the scene:
"We're all family, so talk it out! Don't lose your temper, Xiao Fu, he's your dad! He's your elder! You can't talk to him like that."
Fu Jingyou refused to listen, so he pulled back his arm and confronted his father-in-law's authority, questioning all his doubts of late:
"I'd like to ask Dad what you mean! You stopped me when I said I wanted to go to the British Society before, and now you're trying to get a passport, and you're trying to trip me up! How could it be such a coincidence that you always end up with something? Are you deliberately hiding something from me?"
