Chapter 40 The Surprise from Xie Jingchen
Xia Fanxing suddenly stood up, which easily attracted attention. Qiao Feitian wished she could rush over immediately, press her shoulders, and make her sit down.
"I apologize!" Qiao Feitian whispered.
Xia Fanxing looked at her.
"I'm sorry everyone, I shouldn't have said those things. It was all my fault, please rest assured, I won't retaliate against you, and Commander Xie certainly won't!" Qiao Feitian said through gritted teeth.
Xia Fanxing smiled faintly and sat down again, not forgetting to praise, "Comrade Qiao knows her mistakes and can correct them. She truly deserves to be Commander Xie's fiancée."
It sounds like a compliment, but it's actually a subtle dig at the heart of the matter that everyone can hear.
Qiao Feitian was both angry and annoyed.
But the thought that she would soon be free from her misery made her decide not to bother with these people who would never escape the agricultural production team.
Xie Jingchen said something to Zhang Renmin, who nodded and turned to walk towards the crowd.
Qiao Feitian looked at Xie Jingchen in the distance, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
She knew Xie Jingchen had feelings for her!
As Zhang Renmin approached, Qiao Feitian almost stood up.
But when Zhang Renmin stopped, he called out a different name: "Comrade Xia Fanxing, come out here for a moment."
Qiao Feitian felt as if she had been struck by lightning; her heart shattered into pieces.
Xia Fanxing was also surprised: "Me?"
“Yes.” Zhang Renmin nodded.
After Xia Fanxing left with Zhang Renmin, Qiao Feitian was gripped by extreme panic.
Why did Xie Jingchen specifically come to the agricultural company to find Xia Fanxing instead of her?
Does Xie Jingchen already know that the real "person that night" is Xia Fanxing?
No way!
He searched for it his whole life but couldn't find it in the book. The story has only just begun, how could he possibly know who Xia Fanxing is?
Qiao Feitian kept trying to comfort herself one moment and being nervous and scared the next, almost driving herself crazy.
On the other side, Zhang Renmin brought Xia Fanxing to Xie Jingchen.
"You guys chat," Zhang Renmin said as he left.
"Hello, Commander Xie, may I ask what brings you here?" Xia Fanxing asked proactively.
Xie Jingchen's dark eyes were deep and his dark circles were slightly dark, indicating that he had not slept well last night, or even at all.
"Comrade Xia, I already know what happened at the regimental hospital yesterday. But something came up yesterday and the entire command post was too busy to come, so I didn't have time to apologize to you in person. I've come here today specifically to make amends."
Xia Fanxing raised an eyebrow. "Apologize? You're not the one who should apologize. This has nothing to do with you."
Xie Jingchen said sincerely, "Qiao Feitian is my fiancée. I failed to properly regulate her behavior, and I bear joint responsibility."
Xia Fanxing neither confirmed nor denied this point.
She said, "If anyone is going to apologize, it shouldn't be to me."
Xie Jingchen understood what she meant and explained, "Before coming here, I went to the regimental hospital to express my sincere and profound apologies and make amends to Comrade Su Xiuxiu."
Xia Fanxing didn't say anything more.
Xie Jingchen took a step back and bowed to her at a perfect 90-degree angle.
He didn't stand up, but remained bowing and said loudly, "Comrade Xia Fanxing, on behalf of Comrade Qiao Feitian, I apologize to you for what happened yesterday at the regimental hospital. I assure you that I will strictly regulate and restrain Comrade Qiao Feitian's words and actions in the future, and will never allow such a thing to happen again!"
"I hope you can keep your word," Xia Fanxing said calmly. "Otherwise, given Comrade Qiao's personality, what happens next might not be something that can be resolved with a little work."
Xie Jingchen stood up and continued, "Comrade Xia, starting today, your rations will no longer be issued by the agricultural company, but will be directly registered under my name, using my ration quota. I have already reported this to the production department, and it will take effect immediately. You can take food from any window in the canteen, as much as you want, and whatever you want, as long as you don't waste it."
Xia Fanxing smiled faintly, "Is this Commander Xie's compensation to me?"
Xie Jingchen looked at her with deep, dark eyes. "If Comrade Xia has any complaints, please tell me."
"No, thank you."
Xie Jingchen gave Xia Fanxing a military salute, then turned and strode away with powerful strides.
Xia Fanxing watched his receding figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Judging from Xie Jingchen's handling of this matter, he is a very responsible and accountable man.
He both punished and protected his fiancée who made a mistake. When facing the victim, his attitude of apologizing was sincere and his compensation was generous. He did not have any sense of superiority.
Xia Fanxing was very satisfied.
At lunchtime, all the agricultural company staff working at the regimental headquarters were given a piece of meat and a spoonful of meat broth by the canteen staff.
Everyone was overjoyed and exclaimed that it must be a windfall.
Xia Fanxing immediately came to her senses and realized that this was Xie Jingchen's doing.
She couldn't help but smile.
This man is so thoughtful, considerate, and generous.
He knew that yesterday's landslide not only affected Su Xiuxiu, who was seriously injured, but also many other patients with minor injuries who carried their injuries without going to the hospital.
If I go, I'll definitely face the same difficulties and delays as Su Xiuxiu.
So he even considered the possibility of "if".
Since the lightly injured and sick were mixed in with the ordinary employees, he simply stopped separating them and gave the benefits directly to all employees of the agricultural company.
Only here does Xie Jingchen offer his complete compensation for this incident.
It was truly beyond Xia Fanxing's expectations and gave her a pleasant surprise.
Xie Jingchen is truly a good man.
Xia Fanxing recalled the dark circles under Xie Jingchen's eyes when she saw him that morning, and combined with his words, she could guess that he probably hadn't slept all night.
So she slipped into her spatial dimension and made a calming medicine pouch.
After getting off work, Xia Fanxing went to the command post and saw the guards standing outside.
Knowing that Xie Jingchen was busy, she asked her bodyguard to help her deliver the tranquilizer packet.
"Hello comrade, I—"
But she had barely begun to speak when the curtain was lifted, and Xie Jingchen happened to walk out from inside.
"Comrade Xia?" He was a little surprised that Xia Fanxing was here.
Xia Fanxing smiled faintly and said, "Commander Xie, now that you've come out, I'll hand it over to you personally."
The two walked to the side.
Xia Fanxing took out the medicine packet, and soon a faint minty scent filled the air.
"You said you were very busy last night, so I guessed you didn't get enough rest. I prepared some calming and sleep-aiding herbal packets. They contain local mint to soothe the nerves, as well as lavender and jujube seeds to promote sleep."
Xie Jingchen was surprised by Xia Fanxing's thoughtfulness and her efficiency. She had only learned about the news in the morning and was able to finish making the medicine packs by the afternoon.
Xie Jingchen said, "Defending the border and protecting the people is the duty of soldiers, and it's something we should do. Thank you for the calming medicine packet, but I can't accept something for nothing. I'll exchange it with you for something else."
Xia Fanxing smiled faintly: "Then let's trade the two eggs from last time."
Xie Jingchen was slightly taken aback, and the image of a beautiful face under the dim sunset involuntarily appeared before his eyes, with its vibrant red, playful lips and tongue, and the delicate and smooth touch of his fingertips.
A strange tingling sensation flowed through his heart. He silently accepted the calming medicine packet and subconsciously took a deep breath.
