Seeing that Chen Sisi was uncomfortable, Xu Hongying looked away and said, "Alright, Mom won't rush you. You've been busy lately, so please take care of your health. If you're already carrying the Gu family's child, you'll have to be even more careful."
After thinking it over, I realized that this was still far from being a done deal!
Nothing happened between her and Gu Chengfeng. Even if she wanted something to happen, could Gu Chengfeng... do it?
She secretly grumbled to herself, but on the surface she was obedient and docile: "I know, Mom, I will be careful and I will never tire myself out."
Xu Hongying smiled with satisfaction: "That's right!"
She found Chen Sisi more and more pleasing to the eye.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very capable. Although being a self-employed individual sounds bad, she doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
There are plenty of people who strive for success and fame, but also care about their families; Shen Sisi is no different.
As long as Shen Sisi can live a peaceful life with her son and have a few big, healthy grandsons, she will be content.
Early in the morning, Chen Sisi went to the oil mill first, handed the blueprints to Jinshan, and then went to the dock to meet up with Cao Hua.
But surprisingly, Dong Xiaojiang was nowhere to be seen.
You know, Dong Xiaojiang is usually like a shadow, always following Cao Hua around, but he was nowhere to be seen today.
"Where's Xiao Jiang?" Chen Sisi asked with concern.
A hint of deliberate concealment flashed in Cao Hua's eyes: "He's gone to do something for me. We'll wait here for a while; Boss Wen's car will be here soon."
Chen Si nodded thoughtfully and chatted casually with Cao Hua, mainly about the future development of the medicated oil and the trademark registration.
As they were talking, the two saw Yang Rong, the manager of Rongchuntang who had caused trouble earlier, leading a group of people who were asking around the docks.
"What's going on?" Cao Hua asked thoughtfully, shaking his head and clicking his tongue in confusion. "Strange, Manager Yang isn't in the workshop, so how come he has time to personally lead a team to the dock?"
"workshop?"
Cao Hua took out a cigarette, held it loosely between his fingers without smoking it, just holding it there casually.
"Didn't they sign an agreement with the Russian distributor a few days ago? After they went back, they discussed it and jointly invested money to rent a factory and set up a production line. He should be very busy right now..."
As the two were talking, Yang Rong came up to them one by one and asked them questions.
Upon seeing the two of them, Yang Rong's expression turned somewhat strange: "Oh, Mr. Cao and Mr. Shen, how have you been?"
Chen Sisi smiled politely and remained silent.
Cao Hua, on the other hand, stood up enthusiastically and offered him a cigarette: "What brings Manager Yang here?"
Yang Rong was clearly hiding something, but she was being secretive and seemed unwilling to let them know.
He simply smiled and accepted the cigarette: "I came to ask if you've seen that Russian trader who contacted you before, have you seen him recently?"
Cao Hua thought for a moment: "I haven't seen him before. What's wrong? Did he run away?"
Yang Rong's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said, "Don't mention it. How could such a big supplier run away? It's just that there are some product requirements that I want to discuss with him again."
Cao Hua could tell that something was definitely wrong, but there was nothing he could do to help.
“Go look for him on his ship. It’s such a big ship, it’s still there.” Cao Hua pointed casually. Yang Rong felt a lot more at ease when she saw the ship, but she was still a little worried: “I asked, but he’s not here. I don’t know where he went.”
"Alright, I won't bother you two any longer. I'll continue asking."
Yang Rong waved his hand and led his men hurriedly toward the nearby dock, asking everyone they met along the way.
After everyone had walked away, Cao Hua turned to Shen Sisi and asked, "Sisi, what do you think?"
Chen Sisi rested her chin on her hand, her brows furrowed: "It's hard to say, but my intuition tells me that person has probably already run away."
“I think so too!” Cao Hua sighed softly. “It’s a good thing you reminded me back then, otherwise I would have been overwhelmed by this windfall.”
"When doing business, it's always better to be cautious. Better safe than sorry."
The two were not optimistic about Yang Rong's situation. They chatted quietly for a few minutes, and then they heard a beeping sound coming from ahead.
A black sedan was parked on the side of the road connecting to the pier.
These days, anyone who can afford a car is either rich or powerful.
Especially in places like docks, they are even harder to find.
So when this car appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was curious about which big boss it was, because this little car was really impressive!
Soon, the rear left window rolled down, and Wen Rong, still dressed in a suit and tie, looked as elegant as ever, clearly a noble young master, attracting everyone's attention.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Cao, please get in the car!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his assistant got out of the car and opened the door for them.
Seeing everyone's envious looks, Chen Sisi and Cao Hua got into the car.
Chen Sisi sat in the passenger seat, while Wen Rong and Cao Hua sat in the back.
"I'm sorry, something came up and I was delayed on the way." Wen Rong's attitude was very humble and polite, and her gentle and refined temperament made people feel very comfortable around her.
Chen Sisi said softly, "It's alright, we just arrived."
"Then... let's set off!" Wen Rong gave the order, and the wheels slowly moved forward...
This wasn't the first time Shen Sisi had ridden in a car. The last time she rode in a car was before her father was dismissed from his job.
At that time, a Chinese businessman came to Linxian County to build a Hope Primary School and drove his car to pick her and her father up.
At the time, in order to get the boss to build another library, my father drank with the boss and ended up having a stomach hemorrhage and being rushed to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and the library deal was finalized. My father's desperate efforts were not in vain.
But later...
She sighed softly and turned to look out the window.
Many people say that her father was too fragile, that he couldn't understand why he hanged himself just because he was accused of a crime.
But no one knew that what killed his father was not the rope at all.
Her father was the most selfless and caring person she had ever met, and he was determined to dedicate his life to education.
However, he was accused of having inappropriate relationships with colleagues, molesting students, and embezzling and accepting bribes. How could someone as proud and arrogant as him bear it?
Only death can prove my innocence!
Not long after my father died, the businessman learned of the news and rushed over to testify for my father, proving that he had not embezzled or accepted bribes. On the contrary, many of the facilities in the school were obtained by my father through begging and pleading.
Subsequently, the student who was accused of molestation also stood up and said that her father had never touched her. She said that her father had found out about her early romance and told her parents, and she deliberately framed Principal Shen out of resentment.
However, there was still no follow-up from my colleagues.
The female teacher who said her father abused his power and forced her to be his mistress disappeared without a trace.
Over the years, Shen Sisi has inquired with many people, but to no avail...
Her thoughts drifted away, then gradually returned to their source. When she came to her senses again, the car had already stopped at the foot of a large mountain.
"We've arrived!" Wen Rong said softly.
