In the afternoon, the family went to the hospital. He Xiasheng went to visit several elders with whom he had studied in the past, while He Ruixue dragged her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law to have a physical examination.
There is no big problem because they have all experienced famine and are reluctant to eat or drink, so their bodies are more or less lacking in certain trace elements.
The doctor only suggested that I eat more fish, shrimp, meat and eggs in the future. As long as the nutrition is adequate, these are actually minor problems.
As for He Ruixue herself, her health was far above average. Zhao Meiya was overjoyed when she learned the results of the examination. Not only did she not feel that her trip was in vain, she also repeatedly said that she was well taken care of and that all the good things she had given her daughter in the past were worth it.
On the other side, He Xiasheng asked his master for a lot of tonic prescriptions, and walked out satisfied. When they met in the hospital corridor, the whole family was smiling.
People sitting in the corridor cast strange looks at them. Most people who came to the hospital looked sad, but this family was different. There was no pregnant woman or child among them.
On Monday, He Ruixue gave Xie Peng a reply and agreed to join the temporary foreign trade team.
But as soon as she arrived at the merchandise department, she received a rather severe warning and was left outside for nearly an hour before she was able to meet Luo Guoqing.
"I'm sorry, Comrade He, our team has been so busy lately that I forgot you were outside. Please take a seat."
Luo Guoqing has a long face, a square chin that almost droops to his neck, and several layers of bags under his eyes, which makes his already serious expression look even more ferocious, giving off an aura that he is not to be messed with.
It was obvious that his apology was not sincere, and He Ruixue was not in a good mood. "Really? It seems that Team Leader Luo is a little confused with his age. It doesn't matter if you are a little forgetful, but you don't want to make the whole team slow down. Why didn't anyone come to remind you for such a long time?"
She pretended to have said something wrong, but her eyes were teasing. "Could it be that you, Team Leader Luo, have no authority at all and can't control several people? It seems that the Merchandise Department and our Purchasing Department operate differently. I will pay attention next time."
Luo Guoqing has been working alone for so many years, so he has a decent level of energy. "Comrade Xiao He is indeed very eloquent. No wonder he was able to close so many deals. Our merchandise department has benefited greatly from you."
He twitched the corners of his mouth, giving a forced smile, "The secretary assigned you here because he trusts your ability, and I feel the same way. But there's one thing I've always wanted to know. As far as I know, Comrade He's grades in high school were... average, and his English grades were even worse.
How come his abilities have improved so dramatically since he started working? Could it be that he's connected to someone who shouldn't be there?
Is this a suspicion that she has contact with spies?
"Team Leader Luo, the fact that I was commended for the incident at the last exchange meeting is enough to explain the situation. Do you think there is something wrong with the deputy mayor, or that the secretary is not good at judging people?
Besides, I'm just temporarily assigned to your side to help, not to be your subordinate. If you want to check my file, you have to ask Brother Xie first."
She emphasized the word "help". Luo Guoqing poured her a cup of tea and said in a friendly manner, "Calm down. The situation is urgent. There is panic everywhere. I asked a few more questions out of caution.
"It's a shame Comrade He has been avoiding questions since just now, never giving a direct answer. Does he have any other concerns? Although our foreign trade team was established temporarily, it also represents the image of our store. I need to determine the specific situation of each person so that we can better coordinate our work, right?"
He Ruixue's eyes were full of meaning. "Sometimes it's good to be a bit confused. Everyone has secrets. For example, the affair between Team Leader Luo and Wu Xifang from our team back then. In your eyes, it might be a continuation of the past, but in the eyes of outsiders and your wife, it's probably not..."
Seeing the person opposite her pupils tremble slightly and a crack in their expression, she chuckled, "Why, Wu Xifang hasn't told you yet? It seems that some things are not always under your control. Next time you want to meddle in other people's affairs, at least make sure you are innocent first... My time is precious. Can Team Leader Luo officially issue the task?"
"Here are the documents, take a look at them yourself."
He couldn't pretend any longer, so he threw a briefcase at her and served her tea before leaving. He Ruixue didn't care what he thought, as she was there to gain experience anyway.
The more projects you participate in, the smoother your future career will be.
Moreover, the opportunity to connect with foreign manufacturers is rare. If she can participate in it, it will add a distinctive and eye-catching experience to her future resume.
After getting the document, she started to translate it. At the same time, she also had to deal with the affairs of her own department. Her workload increased a lot, and she was so busy that she didn't get home until around seven in the evening.
It gets dark slowly in summer, and it is still bright outside.
Zhao Meiya left some food for her. While she was eating, she saw He Xiasheng stewing medicinal food on the coal stove with a small purple clay pot.
The taste is sour and bitter, so pungent that it makes people cry.
"Second sister, are you stewing medicinal food or boiling medicine? Did my brother-in-law always eat this?" He really suffered.
"What do you know? I made this condensed version because I was worried the effect wouldn't be good enough."
"...As long as you're happy. By the way, didn't my brother-in-law come here on a mission this time? Where are his teammates?"
"They are all staying in the guesthouse, but there is a guy named Huo Tingxun in his team who applied to go out as soon as he arrived. He is so mysterious that no one knows what he is doing."
He Xiasheng always felt that he had bad intentions. He was afraid that he wanted to steal Rui Ge's credit, or he wanted to deliberately sabotage the operation and throw dirty water on Rui Ge, and then he would stand up and turn the tide.
She had whispered in Qiao Rui's ear last night, reminding him to keep an eye on his movements.
Unfortunately, the other party did not appreciate it and repeatedly assured that Huo Tingxun might have some ulterior motives, but his character was flawless.
Moreover, as long as he is a soldier under his command, he will give him enough trust and regard him as a comrade-in-arms who can be trusted with support. How can he lead the team well if he is always suspicious?
She was so angry that she ignored him for half an hour, but of course, she was coaxed back into it soon.
Qiao Rui also understood his wife's concerns, but he was a person who was very content with the status quo and did not have big ambitions.
If he had not wanted to make his wife look good in the family compound and stop people from saying that she made a wrong decision by giving up her future to join the army, he would not have worked so hard to climb up and become the battalion commander.
Fame, wealth and honor were far less important to him than a happy family. When he threatened his parents, his words were not just talk; he really had such thoughts in mind.
Especially after He Xiasheng gave birth prematurely due to his treatment and could no longer have children, his thoughts grew like weeds.
It's all his fault. If she hadn't married him, He Xiasheng might have been much happier than she is now.
She doesn't have to worry about food and sleep when he's away, and she can see her family more often.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law always complain about her being unfilial. Isn't that a subtle way of expressing their dissatisfaction with him?
So Huo Tingxun was determined to make progress, and Qiao Rui let him go as long as it didn't affect him.
