Then everyone remembered that the old lady was still there. Seeing that the old lady's face was obviously unhappy, Qiao Qiqi immediately went over and offered to massage the old lady's shoulders. "Grandma, I think the weather has been quite nice lately. Shall we go for a walk?"
Although the enlistment list has been released, it will still take a few days to go to the military base.
Qin Huai had only recently reunited with the old lady before he had to leave. Qiao Qiqi knew that the old lady would be reluctant to part with him, so she wanted to create an opportunity for the grandmother and grandson to spend more time together.
The old lady clearly understood her good intentions, gave a soft hum, and did not refuse.
That very night, Qiao Qiqi lay in bed and began planning her schedule for the next day.
Although the old lady's health has improved a lot, her legs and feet are still not very agile and she gets tired easily. She needs to find a nearby place that does not require climbing mountains and where she can rest anytime, anywhere.
Thanks to Fang Ke's recent tour of most of Beijing, and Qiao Qiqi's own numerous trips, she now knows Beijing like the back of her hand, making it very easy for her to find such a place.
Soon, Qiao Qiqi selected three and decided to take the old lady to one each day starting tomorrow.
Since the banquet at the Qin family, Xiao Tanghai has not appeared at the Qin family again, but the 7 million yuan was transferred to Heilong City as promised on the fifth day. In order to ensure that the money could be used for the construction of Qiao Qiqi's hometown, the old lady specially asked the government to send two people to arrange the matter.
A few days later, the day before Qin Huai was to leave for the army, Qin Baoguo suddenly brought two young men and women from outside. The man was named Meng Lingqi and the woman was named Ding Yanqiu. Both of them were children who grew up in the army compound and were highly educated.
Qiao Qiqi didn't understand Qin Baoguo's purpose in bringing the two back. It was only through their conversation with the old lady that she learned that the old lady planned to arrange for the two to work in the bearing factory.
And I learned that Xiao Tanghai had ousted the old leaders of the bearing factory one by one over the past few years.
Previously, because Xiao Tanghai would always find various reasonable excuses so that the old lady couldn't find fault, the old lady had always turned a blind eye to these matters and hadn't investigated them in depth.
But ever since she learned that Xiao Tanghai was the one who harmed Chenchen and Xinxin, the old lady had someone investigate, and as a result, she actually found out quite a lot.
But these are all superficial things; there's nothing going on at a deeper level.
All the former leaders who were on good terms with the old lady had been driven away by Xiao Tanghai, so if she wanted to investigate now, she would have to send people in again.
So the old lady asked Qin Baoguo to find these two people for her.
Both sides said what they needed to say, and the two young men understood their purpose in joining the bearing factory. They were both children of military personnel and felt it was their duty to fight for the protection of national assets, so they readily agreed.
"Because Xiao Tanghai is currently guarding the Qin family, the two of you cannot enter the bearing factory in the name of the Qin family. I will find someone else to arrange for you to enter. As for how far you can investigate after entering the bearing factory, that depends on your abilities."
After patiently giving her instructions, the old lady solemnly concluded, "I only have one thing to say: safety should always be the priority, and you must never act rashly."
"Don't worry, we understand."
And so, the two of them entered the bearing factory the next day.
On the same day, Qiao Qiqi saw Qin Huai, who had already put on his military uniform, into the army.
The two parted ways at the door, with Qiao Qiqi waving vigorously.
Qin Baoguo said that once Qin Huai goes there, he will have to participate in two years of basic military training, and he will not be able to go home during these two years unless something unexpected happens.
Qiao Qiqi became more and more saddened as she thought about it, and couldn't help but call out, "Qin Huai, I'll wait for you to come back. Remember to write to me."
Qin Huai was also very reluctant to part with her, but he suppressed the bitterness in his heart and waved to her forcefully: "I will. Take good care of yourself out there."
"I'll wait for you to come back!"
Qin Huai left, and Qiao Qiqi returned to her old life, delivering goods every morning, and going to the black market in the afternoon if she felt like it, or staying home to write articles if she didn't want to go out.
Her articles have been serialized for five installments and have received a very positive response; some fans have even sent letters to the newspaper to read them.
Fang Jingru delivered all the letters to Qiao Qiqi. Qiao Qiqi was deeply moved by the encouraging words and wrote back to them.
Everyone noticed that Qiao Qiqi was busier than before, and she hardly had any free time.
The old lady and Qin Baoguo knew that she definitely didn't want to dwell on the sadness of Qin Huai's departure, which was why she kept herself so busy. Although they felt sorry for her, they tried to persuade her a few times, but when they saw that Qiao Qiqi wouldn't listen, they didn't say anything more.
Moreover, they've been especially busy lately.
Although the person was assigned to the bearing factory, since the old lady had hired someone, she had to ensure their safety, and she waited anxiously for news every day.
Finally, after half a month, the two sent out their first message, and it was a bombshell—there were problems with the accounts.
Accounts are the lifeblood of a company; if there are problems here, it will definitely be a major issue.
The old lady had a premonition, but she couldn't believe that Xiao Tanghai would dare to so blatantly line his own pockets.
Qin Baoguo was also unwilling to believe it, but the evidence was conclusive. "Grandma, should we have someone investigate?"
After pondering for a moment, the old lady shook her head. "Continue the investigation. If he dares to tamper with the accounts, he will definitely do it elsewhere. Find someone to investigate, starting from when Xiaoqi passed away four years ago. There must be other evidence."
"Yes." Qin Baoguo immediately went to do it.
Time passed day by day.
Although things were peaceful at the bearing factory, Xiao Tanghai always felt uneasy.
He didn't believe the old lady was still completely unaware of anything, but if she did know, how could she remain silent? And what was the reason for her inaction?
"Dad, don't think about it. Maybe even if that old man finds out, there's nothing he can do about it," Xiao Jinpeng said, trying to comfort Xiao Tanghai who looked so bitter and resentful every day.
What he got in return was Xiao Tanghai's angry rebuke: "What do you know? The old woman is not as simple as we think. She has definitely the ability to get to her current position. We must not let our guard down."
“But you’ve been investigating for almost a month, what have you found?” Xiao Jinpeng still felt that Xiao Tanghai was making a mountain out of a molehill.
But Xiao Tanghai was still uneasy. He originally wanted to wait a little longer, but the longer it went on, the more uneasy he felt. Finally, he decided not to wait any longer.
"Go and eliminate the hidden danger tonight, and remember to do it cleanly and efficiently."
A flicker of excitement crossed Xiao Jinpeng's eyes. "Don't worry, I guarantee that after tonight, everything that is detrimental to you will disappear from this world."
Qiao Qiqi was woken up in the middle of the night.
Hearing the sound coming from downstairs, he immediately put on a coat and went downstairs, where he bumped into Qin Baoguo who was coming upstairs.
Seeing Qin Baoguo's grim expression, Qiao Qiqi subconsciously asked, "What happened?"
