Chapter 71 Unlucky
My stomach was churning so much while walking on the trail that I almost wanted to vomit. It was the first time I ate so much.
After repeatedly refusing the Yan family's offer to stay overnight on the grounds that he was busy with work, Su Ning and Yan Bei left the Yan family's house, carrying their bags of gifts.
"Walk?"
Seeing her distress, Yan Bei took the things in her hand and put them in the car, then suggested, "This side is not far from the river. We can walk directly to your hotel along the river."
It’s only a 20-minute drive, but it would take more than an hour to walk.
"good."
She readily agreed to his suggestion, as she also wanted to see if there would be a chance to talk during the walk.
…
It was just seven o'clock, and there was still some time before the summer dark. The evening breeze blew slowly from the riverside, taking away the hot and stuffy air.
Yanjiang Park has always been known as a dating paradise, and most of the people who come here are men and women who are in love.
There are those who are shy and leave most of the seats empty, sitting far away and still dare not look at each other;
There are those who are bold and passionate, hiding behind big trees, quietly holding hands, hugging, and even kissing;
Of course, there are also some couples who have heated arguments over the amount of the bride price and break up sadly.
In short, they didn't dare to glance at each other as they walked through the park, and an inexplicably awkward atmosphere lingered between them.
She suggested walking to the Linjiang Park. Her unreliable second brother complained in her heart. Yan Bei took two steps back and looked at her profile, thinking about how to solve this situation.
"Yan Bei, did your uncle study abroad when he was young?"
"Yes, I just came back after finishing my doctorate in Red Leaf Country."
Hearing that she was no longer silent and asked about her father, Yan Bei quietly loosened his clenched hands and followed the topic to tell her some stories about her parents.
"very nice."
How many couples in the world have a relationship like Yan Bei's parents?
Nowadays, most people rely on introductions from others to find someone, and once you've found the right person and met both parties' parents, you should discuss getting married. Dragging the time to date is just hooliganism.
It is said that there is freedom of marriage and freedom of love, but in fact there is no blind marriage like the previous generation.
Uncle and Aunt Yan are truly enviable for being able to be so unrestrained and love passionately.
"It is said that men in our Yan family are romantic, and once they fall in love, it is a lifelong thing."
When she bumped into his eyes that were reflected with the stars in the sky and kept twinkling, Su Ning's heart suddenly slowed down for a beat: If you want to sigh, then just sigh. Why are you looking at me like this suddenly?
"Could you... stop looking at me like that?"
"Um?"
"This kind of staring look at me at night is really scary."
Yan Bei laughed in astonishment. Sometimes he really wanted to open her brain to see what was inside. Why was it always different from that of ordinary people?
I used to be accused of being unromantic, but now that I've met her, I finally understand what it feels like to be unromantic.
"Okay, sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Yan Bei was amused by her serious answer and shook his head.
But he had enough patience to boil a frog in warm water, and was also prepared for a long time, waiting for her to understand.
"By the way, how is Uncle Yan doing in the regiment headquarters now?"
He frowned slightly in surprise, and although he was surprised that she suddenly cared so much about her father, he still answered every question.
Little did he know that Suning was also struggling in his heart, wondering how to give him a casual reminder.
From the conversation and the foreseen future, she knew that the Yan family was at its peak during Yanbei's father's generation.
The two brothers, one from Z and the other from J, not only are they the best in their respective fields, but they are also extremely united. Their father's decisive retirement gave them a smooth path forward.
The seven younger generations of the Yan family are all better than the other, both as people and at work.
In the eyes of the enemy, the Yan family should not be underestimated. They must be completely crushed with one strike so that there is no possibility of recovery.
Yan Bei did not exist in the future picture. If what he thought was correct, his death that day would be the fuse of the whole incident.
Now because of his intervention, Yan Bei escaped his predetermined fate of death, and things will definitely change afterwards, so he will definitely become the key to breaking the deadlock.
Don’t be impatient!
This matter has not yet come to light. There is no strong evidence and no reliable source of information.
Even if he chooses to believe in her in the end, she will have to bear the consequences...
Shaking his head, Suning took a deep breath and calmed his heart which had been fluctuating since he learned about this: there is still more than half a year left, so just be cautious and there is no rush.
"Suning, you can choose to tell me anything. I think I am a good listener and will be a very good adviser."
"Haha, no problem, I'll remember it."
The wise man stopped his probing at a certain point, and the two of them tacitly moved on from the previous topic.
…
After sending her to the door of the room, Yan Bei turned around and left. After returning, he frowned and thought for a while, then went to the second floor and knocked on the door of his father's study.
No one knew what the father and son talked about, but after he left, the light in the study stayed on for a long time that night.
Ms. Xiang, who was alone in an empty room late at night, did not lose her temper for the first time.
She thought her son was asking her for advice on how to win the heart of a beautiful woman, and she also thought that she would have to make up for her own experience the next day.
…
The next day, the morning light covered the river surface, dyeing the rippling water red. Egrets flew low over with their long tails, leaving behind strings of polka dots and circles.
I dreamed for the whole night, and all I dreamed of was someone's eyes that were staring brightly in the darkness.
Su Ning woke up and gasped, rubbing his chest where his heartbeat was too fast, "Are you really scared?"
There was Xiaoqiu in front and Yanbei behind...
If it happens again, I don’t know whether her fear of ghosts will be cured without medicine or become more serious.
He raised his hands, pinched his cheeks and pulled the corners of his mouth, woke up completely, and got up quickly.
After washing, she changed into convenient clothes, combed her hair and tied it into a braid.
After having breakfast at Space and Small Circle and preparing lunch for it, Suning hurried out to start the purchasing task.
During this business trip to Shanghai, Director Liang gave her a heavy task, which was to purchase a batch of new and unique blended fabrics for the factory.
She had done some research on this blended fabric before coming here, as it is more suitable for people who only use cotton and linen fabrics.
Blended fabrics made from a mixture of different fibers such as linen, cotton, and chemical fibers are more wear-resistant and wrinkle-resistant. They are very popular in the Shanghai market and are in great demand once they appear.
There are definitely more than one Gushi Textile Factory coming to Shanghai with the same purpose, so the difficulty of this task can be imagined.
She headed straight for her destination after leaving the hotel, and officially began her journey of encountering setbacks.
From early morning to sunset, Suning returned empty-handed again and walked out of Textile Factory No. 6, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
Two trips in the morning and three trips in the afternoon, I ran so many times in a row.
He couldn't help but put on a bitter smile, he had been busy all day in vain and didn't even see the person in charge. All he heard were all kinds of Tai Chi procrastination words from his subordinates.
Thinking of the fat, greasy man just now, and the hints in his words, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“No wonder…”
Fu Jiaming once told her that the prerequisite for doing this job well is to be able to build various relationships and constantly establish one's own network.
It's not impossible to do it without some connections or background, it just will be more difficult, time-consuming and laborious, and the final result may not be satisfactory.
She clenched her hands tightly at her sides. She just couldn't believe it. How could this Director Tong be so difficult to meet?
She had to see it!
If you can’t find him inside the factory, then block him outside.
Having made plans, Suning smiled and generously took out a bag of White Rabbit candy from her handbag and handed it to the old man at the door.
"Hey, little comrade, what are you doing?"
"Uncle, I'm from the Gushi Textile Factory and I came to the Sixth Factory to..."
"Oh, I get it, hahaha~"
I'm guarding the door here all day long. I've seen all kinds of things and all kinds of people. I can tell what she's doing just by hearing a hint.
She has always been liked by the elderly, and this time was no exception. After a conversation, she got what she wanted to know.
For example, Director Tong’s facial features, and his approximate time and pattern of going to and leaving get off work.
After thanking the enthusiastic uncle again and again, I went to the state-owned restaurant closest to the Sixth Factory, looked at my watch, ordered the food, and chose to wait and see.
I heard from the old man that Director Tong’s eldest son is not good at studying, so he took advantage of the summer vacation to find someone to tutor him, hoping that he can work hard and get into a good university.
I would choose one or two days every week to go to the state-owned restaurant and bring him some meat or something. It was both a reward and a carrot dangling in front of him.
