Chapter 140 Return to Rongchuan
Chen Zan immediately reacted and knew what Jiang Yunqin meant by the thing he stuffed in there.
No wonder her assistant kindly reminded her not to take the wrong one.
She frowned and explained, "I thought it was just ordinary tea and even transferred money to her on the spot."
I'm just afraid of unexpected complications and bad things happening.
Afraid Zhou Jingyu wouldn't believe her, she pulled out the transfer records in the chat box and asked, "Will this affect you and Minister Xie?"
Jiang Yunqin secretly stuffed shopping cards and bank cards into her pockets, definitely not for her, but for Zhou Jingyu and Xie Xu behind her.
No matter which one you climb, there will be benefits.
Chen Zan had seen through her a long time ago, which was why he repeatedly rejected her invitations and distanced himself from her. She thought she was being careful enough.
Zhou Jingyu caught a glimpse of the worry between her brows and stroked her hair soothingly. "Why are you in such a hurry? I definitely trust you. And you even transferred money to her. You've been very cautious. The hardest thing to guard against is the villains around you."
The main reason was that Chen Zan had just entered society and had no experience in this area before. She thought of not taking the other party's things for free, gave money to draw a clear line, and did not give the other party any chance, so she handled it very well.
Chen Zhan pursed his lips and took the card: "I will return these two cards to her tomorrow."
Zhou Jingyu didn't give it to her: "Leave this kind of trivial matter to me."
Having been in a high position for so many years, he knows best how to handle these matters and, by the way, give the other party a warning to prevent such evil-minded people from using this method to harm others in the future.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "If you encounter something like this in the future, remember to tell me the first time. If you can't handle it well, bring it to me."
Chen Zhan didn't show off on such a principled matter. "I will be more careful next time. It's nothing wrong with me, but I'm mainly worried that if I take things carelessly, it will affect your current position."
After all, she is just a small person.
Zhou Jingyu raised his lips and smiled lazily, pinching the pitiful tender flesh on her cheek. "Chen Zhan, admit it, you are worried about me. But our relationship now is at most friends living under the same roof. Even if you accepted those two cards, it would not affect me, unless you are my wife."
Chen Zhan: “…”
He snorted coldly, thinking that it was a nice idea.
——
The next day, Zhou Jingyu took a rare day off to accompany Chen Zan to send Ian and Amy to the airport. As for the card, he gave it to Bai Qi to deal with early in the morning.
Chen Zhan also checked the gift from Ian and Amy and was relieved only after finding that there was nothing else inside.
Later I heard that the small company owned by Jiang Yunqin's family was found to have tax problems at the end of the year and was fined a large sum of money. They did not have a good year and two of their projects failed.
Jiang Yunqin was so scared that she tried to contact Chen Zan, but found that Chen Zan had blocked all her contact information.
Jiang Yunqin had no choice but to ask Jin Hanzhou to ask Chen Zan out to apologize, but Chen Zan had already returned to Rongchuan by then, and Jin Hanzhou just passed on the message and there was no further follow-up.

Ian checked out at the front desk while Amy and Chen Zhan stood in the lobby waiting. Amy glanced at the black Bentley parked on the roadside outside the hotel. The man was flicking ash on the driver's window, revealing the famous watch on his wrist.
Amy gave Chen Zhan an ambiguous look: "Cynthia, let Mr. Zhou come and take us to the airport. Are you two going to reconcile soon?"
She was also trapped in the hot spring hotel that day, and only then did she find out from what Mr. Jiang said that the two had dated before.
Chen Zan nodded generously, "It should be."
Amy exclaimed, "If the handsome Mr. Zhou is paired with our beautiful Ms. Cynthia, those male colleagues at headquarters will admit defeat."
Chen Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth into a smile and looked towards the street outside the hotel.
Just then, Zhou Jingyu turned his head to look over. The sunlight at eight or nine o'clock in the capital slanted down on his stiff brows. When their eyes met, Chen Zan curved his eyes and smiled at him for a few seconds.
Zhou Jingyu raised his eyebrows slightly in confusion.
After Amy reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Zan at the airport, she booked a flight back to Rongchuan for the next day and also went back to the hotel to pack her luggage.
Zhou Jingyu leaned against the wall casually with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with drooping eyelids, a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do to stop her from going back.
He hadn't been back home for five years, and now during the Spring Festival, he was looking for a reason to keep her. But he couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only ask with a resentful tone, "What time is the flight tomorrow?"
Chen Zan said the time was afternoon.
Zhou Jingyu frowned: "I have an important meeting tomorrow afternoon, I'm afraid I can't see you off."
Chen Zan was not bothered by these trivial matters. The snow-resistance and disaster relief work had come to an end, but Zhou Jingyu was a leader and had to be busy dealing with follow-up matters. In addition, it was the end of the year, so it was understandable that he was busy.
"You're busy with work, I'll take a taxi to the airport."
"I'll let Zhang Qing drive you there. I don't trust anyone else."
"Don't make me sound like I'm incapable of taking care of myself. I've been abroad for five years, okay?"
Chen Zan looked at him speechlessly.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingyu became even more resentful after he finished speaking, "You also know that you have been gone for five years."
Chen Zan: "Uh..."
The undergraduate course took two years, and the graduate course took three years. However, she was very energetic and worked while studying, so it didn't waste her time.
Zhou Jingyu: "You are so stupid."
Chen Zan frowned and looked at him disapprovingly. Why was this guy still cursing?
Zhou Jingyu sighed, "Didn't you hear it?"
Chen Zhan: "What?"
Zhou Jingyu tilted his head slightly and spoke slowly, "I've already started missing you before you left."
Chen Zan's ears suddenly felt hot. This man's love words were becoming more and more skillful.
——
The next day when they returned to Rongchuan, Zhang Qing came to drive Chen Zan to the airport. Aunt Sun stuffed a few packets of Cordyceps sinensis and Ganoderma lucidum into her suitcase. They were all top quality and obviously not cheap.
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "How can I afford to give these to you? The old lady asked me to give them to you and ask you to take them back to nourish your grandmother."
A flash of surprise crossed Chen Zan's eyes, then he accepted it and said thank you.
In the morning, she called Ms. Xu Jing to tell her that she would be returning to Rongchuan in the afternoon. She agreed and said that she would pick her up at the airport.
After hanging up the phone, he sent a message to Xu Anan.
The young lady waited and waited, and finally Chen Zhan came back. She dropped her work and said she would come to pick her up. Chen Zhan said that Ms. Xu would come to pick her up.
Xu Anan was discouraged after hearing this. After all, she still had the same respect and fear towards the serious Ms. Xu Jing as she did in the past, as if she saw her class teacher.
So we made an appointment to meet again when she came back.
She hadn't been back to Rongchuan for a few years and was feeling homesick, but she was still very happy.
But after landing at the airport, Xu Jing did not come over, so Chen Zan had to call her to ask if there was a traffic jam on the road.
The first one didn't answer, and Chen Zan felt a little panicked. She was afraid that something might have happened to her mother on the way to pick her up.
Fortunately, after the second call rang for a few seconds, the other party finally picked up the phone.
Xu Jing's voice was a little noisy: "Hello?"
Chen Zhan hurriedly said worriedly: "Mom, I'm in the airport parking lot. Where are you? Have you arrived?"
"Chen Zan?" Xu Jing paused, then explained, "Sorry, I'm at the hospital right now and haven't been there yet. Can you take a taxi back by yourself?"
"Hospital?" Chen Zhan became even more anxious. "Why are you in the hospital? Did something happen to you or grandma?"
Xu Jing: "No, your sister suddenly had a high fever at noon, so your grandmother and I took her to the hospital for an IV."
After hearing this, Chen Zhan felt a little relieved and said sympathetically, "A child's illness is no small matter. You should take good care of her in the hospital."
Xu Jing: "The nurse is here to take your temperature. I won't tell you for now."
Chen Jiaohua's voice seemed to be heard on the other end of the phone: "Why don't you go pick up Zhanzhan when she comes back? It's not like I can't take care of Sangyu here."
Xu Jing: "Gu Wenjun has surgery today. I'm worried about you guys staying in the hospital. Besides, she's a grown-up, not a child anymore."
The winter in Rongchuan has always been damp and cold. When the cold wind blew, Chen Zhan realized that his exposed hands were a little numb from the cold. The hand holding the mobile phone was trembling slightly. He clicked several times before opening the taxi app, entered the address and called an online taxi.
