Zhan Nanqi had also made his choice. Jiang Peirong readily paid the bill and went home with the two children.
Xue Jiayu was still wondering whether the Li Minxue he had just seen was an illusion or not, and was unusually silent on the way back.
Jiang Peirong asked with a smile: "Xiaobao, why are you so silent today? Did you have a quarrel with Nan Qi?"
"No, no!"
Xue Jiayu quickly denied it, "I was just thinking about how to make this model."
"Don't worry, just leave everything that needs to be done to Nan Qi."
Jiang Peirong bluntly taught her how to "exploit" her son.
"This is a project that both of us are participating in. I can't let Brother Nanqi do it all by himself."
Jiang Peirong sent Xue Jiayu home. When she was about to get off the car, she was suddenly stopped by Zhan Nanqi.
"Come to my house on Sunday."
"Um?"
Xue Jiayu blinked and didn't react for a moment.
"Want to go play?"
“No, let’s make models together.”
"good."
Xue Jiayu happily agreed. Seeing Zhan Nanqi interested in something, she couldn't help but feel happy.
When Xu Suzhen got home, she had already prepared dinner. Xue Wangjun and Jiang Qiuyu came back a little later than her.
Xue Jiayu wanted to talk about Xue Mingliang's visit today, but seeing that Xue Wangjun looked tired, she had to hold back her words.
After dinner, Xue Wangjun rarely played with them, but went upstairs to take a shower and sleep.
Xue Jiayu couldn't help but ask Jiang Qiuyi, "Mom, what happened to Dad?"
"Dad has been exhausted from the project these days." Jiang Qiuyi felt sorry for her husband, "So you must be good. Don't bother Dad these days, and don't go into the study room casually. The things in there are very important."
Xue Jiayu nodded obediently, but Xue Huanyu pricked up his ears.
The things in the study are very important... Doesn't this sentence mean that the file Li Minxue wants is in the study?
She had already guessed that the document Li Minxue wanted was related to Xue Wangjun's business, and she had been struggling for a whole night, but thinking that Li Minxue would not bother her again after giving her the document, she could only let Xue Wangjun lose one or two businesses.
I'm sorry, Dad. I will make a lot of money to support you in the future. Please give me the documents first.
Xue Wangjun went through a lot of connections before he got the authorization. He put all the documents into a brown paper bag and sealed it with wax.
He was going to submit it directly to the government the next day, but when he woke up he felt dizzy and couldn't get out of bed, let alone deliver the documents.
"Honey, let me take it there." Jiang Qiuyu poured him a glass of water, her eyes full of heartache.
Xue Wangjun shook his head, "No, they only know me, and oh... my brother."
Xue Wangjun once took Xue Mingliang to dinner with government officials, and he immediately thought of asking Xue Mingliang to deliver the document.
"You asked my eldest brother to deliver such an important document?" Jiang Qiuyi said seriously, "Wangjun, it's not that I don't trust my eldest brother, but this document concerns the future survival of our factory. I think it must be delivered by the two of us in person."
Xue Wangjun thought the same thing, but the government officials were very difficult to deal with and only recognized his face, and the deadline was approaching.
"Give it a try. My elder brother has grown up with me. He won't hurt me."
Jiang Qiuyu knew that if she continued talking, she would only be trying to sow discord, so she could only swallow her words back.
"Okay, I'll support you if you decide."
Xue Wangjun forced himself to call Xue Mingliang and asked him to come over immediately.
Xue Mingliang had a hunch that the document he was about to deliver was the crucial one, so he rushed over immediately.
"Brother, this document is very important. You must deliver it to the municipal building before 2 pm."
When Xue Wangjun handed the document to Xue Mingliang, he grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, you must do a good job on this."
"Yes. Just leave it to me."
Xue Mingliang held the thin document bag in his hand, feeling as if 70,000 yuan had already gone into his pocket.
He was so happy that he couldn't wait to leave Xue's house and hid in the bathroom to call Brother Wang.
"Brother Wang, where are you? I want to meet you."
Brother Wang was still sleeping and was about to curse, but when he heard Xue Mingliang's voice, he said unhappily, "Why are we meeting for no reason? What, did you get what I wanted?"
"I got it. You should prepare the money I want. We will exchange the money and the things this afternoon."
"Okay! Come to Yongli Restaurant at noon. I'll wait for you in the private room."
After confirming the meeting time, Xue Mingliang whistled while washing his hands.
This transaction brought in 70,000 yuan, which not only paid off his son's debt but also left him with tens of thousands of yuan.
As for Xue Wangjun, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.
Xue Mingliang whistled as he opened the door and was startled by Xue Jiayu who was outside.
"Uncle, hello——"
Xue Jiayu greeted him very politely, and Xue Mingliang nodded guiltily, "Hello, hello. What are you doing here?"
"I need to go to the bathroom."
Xue Jiayu walked into the bathroom and was about to close the door when Xue Mingliang called her suddenly.
"Little niece, did you hear uncle calling just now?"
"I didn't hear it."
Xue Jiayu looked innocent, "I just want to go to the bathroom quickly, uncle, can you let me close the door first?"
"Okay, okay, you go ahead."
Xue Mingliang breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Xue Wangjun and his wife.
"Brother, you must deliver the document. Call me when you have delivered it. I will feel at ease." Xue Wangjun reminded him again and again with concern. Just as he was about to sit up, he fell down again with dizziness.
"Okay, leave it to me and you can just focus on recovering. Sister-in-law, take good care of him."
Jiang Qiuyi didn't distrust Xue Mingliang, but she had to do such an important thing herself to feel at ease. She said solemnly: "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you today. This document concerns the fate of the entire factory, so we can't be careless."
Xue Mingliang agreed readily, but rolled his eyes when he went downstairs.
Is it important? He wants to destroy it.
"Auntie, I'm leaving."
"etc!"
Xu Suzhen immediately took out a large bucket of sauerkraut from the refrigerator, filled a plastic bag with it, and then put three or four more bags in it and handed them to him.
"Take it back and eat it. I pickled it using a local recipe from our hometown. I'm sure you'll like it."
Xue Mingliang couldn't refuse Xu Suzhen's enthusiasm, so he had to accept it.
"Thank you, auntie."
"What are you thanking me for? Come back for more after you finish eating."
Xue Mingliang first moved the sauerkraut to the back seat of the car, then went back to get the documents before leaving.
Xue Wangjun asked him to drive the car because he wanted him to deliver the documents to the municipal building as soon as possible.
On the way, Xue Mingliang went to the public toilet, and when he came back he found that all the car windows were broken.
There was a sour smell in the car, and his first reaction was to look at the document bag. The document bag was covered with sauerkraut juice and the words on the cover could not be seen clearly.
Xue Mingliang immediately cursed and looked around to see who had done it.
But everyone around was in a hurry. Xue Mingliang took a deep breath and wondered whether he should tell Xue Wangjun about this.
