As expected, it was still the uncle she was familiar with, always speaking in such an irresponsible way.
"Uncle, if my mother heard you say this, she would really slap you in the face."
Song Shishi had no choice but to advise.
Zheng Zeqian shrugged and didn't take it seriously.
"How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Song Shishi shook her head gently and looked around the ward slowly.
Xie Yushan and the others were not in the ward.
"Uncle, why are you here? Have you seen Mr. Xie and the others who were traveling with me?"
"You mean the Minister of Foreign Affairs? He and your two colleagues are busy. They left when I received the news."
...
...
Xie Yushan said this, picked up the apple on the bedside table, peeled it and said, "By the way, your uncle asked me to tell you that your father's problem has been basically resolved."
“His incident caused a huge uproar in the military and had extremely serious consequences for this military exercise.
After receiving the news, the superiors directly issued an order, not only removing him from his post as head of the Beijing Military Region, but also, after an investigation by the political commissar, finding him guilty of bigamy, and eventually sent him to prison.
The specific results will probably be announced in the next two days.”
When Song Shishi heard the news, she was stunned.
Is there a result so soon?
She knew that Meng Xunzhou was going to participate in the military exercise this time, and she wondered if he also contributed to this matter.
But the reason why things progressed so rapidly was because of the instigation of her eldest uncle.
As expected of her uncle, he is still vigorous and decisive in his actions.
Song Shishi was in a coma only because she was drugged. After the effect of the drug wore off, she woke up and took a check-up. There was nothing wrong with her, so she was naturally discharged from the hospital.
Song Zhenhua’s matter is a done deal.
Based on her understanding of current laws, the maximum sentence for bigamy is two years.
But when Song Zhenhua was released from prison, that was when the suffering he faced began.
She was thinking about Xie Yushan's team and planned to go back and continue working with them after she was discharged from the hospital.
But when she told Zheng Zeqian about this idea, he stopped her.
"No, you are not fit to continue to join Mr. Xie's team in your current state."
Zheng Zeqian's tone was very firm, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable look.
Song Shishi was full of confusion and asked anxiously, "Why? Uncle, this was just an accident, and the doctor just said that I'm fine now. Mr. Xie brought me to Haicheng this time just to let me learn more, and I don't want to give up such a good opportunity."
Zheng Zeqian pursed his lips and looked at her for a long time.
"I really can't persuade you. You should go to my place first today. Anyway, Mr. Xie and his team won't start the formal negotiations until tomorrow afternoon. You can still make it in time to go to the guesthouse to find them tomorrow morning."
Seeing Zheng Zeqian give in, Song Shishi became visibly happy.
Song Shishi was filled with joy. Her originally dim eyes suddenly became as bright as stars. The corners of her mouth were raised high, revealing two shallow dimples.
"That's great. I knew my uncle was the best to me."
There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Zheng Zeqian shook his head helplessly, but a doting smile appeared on his face.
"You always give me problems."
After completing the discharge procedures, Song Shishi followed Zheng Zeqian to a quiet courtyard full of various unknown small flowers.
The small flowers sway gently in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.
"Uncle, didn't you just come back? Did you buy a house in Haicheng so soon?"
Zheng Zeqian raised his eyebrows, "I'll spend more time here now, so it would be more convenient to buy a house."
After saying that, Zheng Zeqian looked up and down at Song Shishi's clothes, then he took out a few bills from the bag next to him and handed them to Song Shishi.
Song Shishi took a look and saw that there was at least a stack of money in her uncle's bag.
Looking at the hand that Zheng Zeqian stretched out, there were three hundred-yuan bills.
It seems that her uncle made a lot of money this time.
"Take this money and go buy some nice clothes on the street. If it's not enough, tell my uncle."
Song Shishi didn't bother to be polite with Zheng Zeqian. She reached out to take the money and immediately felt like she was holding onto a powerful figure.
After Zheng Zeqian finished speaking, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch.
"If you're hungry later, go to the state-owned restaurant across the street and buy something to eat. I have things to do and can't stay home with you."
"It's okay, uncle. Go and do your thing. I can take care of myself."
"Okay, don't run around, have a good rest at home, I'll take you to the guesthouse to see Mr. Xie tomorrow."
"Got it, uncle."
After Zheng Zeqian left, Song Shishi began to look around the house on her own.
The first thing that caught her eye was an old photo hanging on the wall.
The photo is a little yellowed and looks very old. It shows a young girl with two long pigtails, but her back is facing the camera.
In the lower right corner of the photo, Zheng Zeqian stood there sideways, his eyes obviously looking at the young girl.
Could this be the girl that my uncle liked before?
He must want to think of this girl every day, otherwise why would he hang the picture in such a prominent place?
There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a toilet at the back of the house.
The kitchen was fully stocked with vegetables, meat, eggs, and seasonings. Song Shishi was alone, so she just made something to eat.
She didn’t know if it was the aftereffect of the drug, but she felt a little listless and sleepy.
When I woke up from this sleep, it was already night.
Zheng Zeqian brought back dinner for her.
Zheng Zeqian waited until Song Shishi finished eating and returned to her room before going out again.
Song Shishi knew that her uncle had been busy with business matters and must be discussing business with others at the dinner table at this time, but he specially brought her food before leaving again.
Just based on this point, Song Shishi was very moved.
Song Zhenhua had never done anything like this to her.
…
Early the next morning, Song Shishi felt much better.
After a simple wash, she had just finished making breakfast when Zheng Zeqian walked out of the bedroom. Smelling the aroma of food, he looked towards the kitchen.
"Shishi, why are you up so early?"
Song Shishi poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Uncle, breakfast is ready. Come and wash up and eat."
Zheng Zeqian blinked his eyes. When did his niece learn to cook?
When Zheng Zeqian saw the porridge and meat patties on the table, he rubbed his eyes with a look of disbelief.
"Shishi, we haven't seen each other for only a year. How come you... have become so virtuous?"
Zheng Zeqian has a feeling of "my daughter is growing up".
Seeing Zheng Zeqian still in a daze, Song Shishi urged, "Uncle, hurry up, you have to take me to the guesthouse to find Mr. Xie and the others later."
"Oh, I'll be right there."
Zheng Zeqian drove Song Shishi to the guesthouse. He was originally planning to accompany Song Shishi upstairs, but was rejected by Song Shishi.
"Uncle, I'm not a child anymore, you really don't have to send me off."
After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Zeqian chose to take a step back. "Then I'll watch you go up. When you find your colleagues and wave to me from the window, I'll leave."
In Haicheng, if anything happened to Song Shishi, he would have a hard time explaining it to his family.
Everyone in the family knew that Zheng Peilan regarded Song Shishi as her own eye.
Even he and his elder brother Zheng Zecheng are very fond of Song Shishi.
When Song Shishi was a child, even if she asked for the stars in the sky, she and Zheng Zecheng would have wanted to pick them for her.
Song Shishi nodded in agreement and turned to go into the guesthouse.
Only after she showed her work ID did the aunt at the guesthouse let her go upstairs.
Song Shishi did not go to find Xie Yushan first, but knocked on the door of Su Yao's room first.
It was not a good idea for a girl like her to knock on a man's door.
The conditions in the guesthouse were simple. The rooms were not big and were furnished with a few hard beds. Although the bedding was clean, it had a bit of an old smell.
But for them, this did not matter. After simply packing up, they devoted themselves to the final preparations before the negotiations.
Su Yao was quite happy when she saw Song Shishi.
"Comrade Song, are you okay?"
"It's all right now. Thank you so much for yesterday."
