Qin Ying pondered for a moment and said seriously:
"If I go to school, it will just be you and Ren Changzheng running the stall. If he goes on a long trip, I think you'll be too busy to handle it all. I'm thinking, can we upgrade the stall to a shop and hire someone to look after it? That way, everyone will have more time. What do you think?"
Xie Fangyuan nodded while thinking:
"I've actually thought about this as well. I was thinking our stall might have to close, but now that you mention it, it seems like a good idea. How about we discuss it with Changzheng?"
Qin Ying nodded:
"Well, I should. I just want to tell you first. After all, we are working together, so we need to discuss everything."
Xie Fangyuan nodded. Thinking of Ren Changzheng, she was stunned for a moment. Her expression was sweet and she seemed to be hesitant to speak. She lowered her voice and said:
"I'm telling you, the Changzheng is going crazy! You don't even know what's going on!"
Qin Ying raised an eyebrow, and was infected by her gossipy look. She moved closer to her, pretending to be nervous, and lowered her voice, with an undisguised teasing tone:
"You're so busy, are you guys getting ready for a happy new year?"
Seeing that she was teasing her again, Xie Fangyuan nudged her with his elbow, still lowering his voice:
"Because of you!"
The smile on Qin Ying's face gradually tightened, and she pursed her lips:
"Me? Because... I was fired?"
Xie Fangyuan nodded:
"On the day you were fired, even though you left, the printing task assigned by the Propaganda Department was shelved. Editor-in-Chief Wang went to the Propaganda Department and waited for a whole day but didn't see anyone from the higher-ups. So, to minimize the losses, we had to ask Changzheng to quickly return the precious batch of paper we had sent last time.
My goodness, it was almost time to get off work, and they were already telling us to move as much paper as we could… The next morning, as the long march was about to begin, we received a notice telling us to bring the paper back again, and it was all over again… Yingying, have you ever seen a leader offend someone and torment their employees like this? We were so angry we couldn't say anything, we almost wanted to set that paper on fire.”
She spoke with resentment, and her expression and tone showed that she was heartbroken, as if that was the darkest moment in her life, something that was simply outrageous to both humans and gods and intolerable to heaven!
Qin Ying didn't know what to say. They were all innocent victims of this incident. She curled her lips, her expression somewhat gloomy.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
"This has nothing to do with you. If it were your fault, you wouldn't be back at work, and they wouldn't be coming to apologize. Don't put the blame on yourself. I'm telling you this because I think they, as leaders, are so irresponsible when giving orders. It's simply too much!"
Xie Fangyuan lowered his voice and spoke through gritted teeth.
Qin Ying was actually very touched by what she said. There was always someone who could take her feelings into consideration and would not blindly blame her without any reason.
No matter who is tormented like this, resentment and anger are inevitable. Xie Fangyuan is a down-to-earth person and comforted her in return.
However, the person Wang Ruixiang offended was Chen Shuyun. It seemed that even though she was fired that day, she was still not satisfied and took her anger out on the publishing house.
It can be imagined that she was extremely angry about this rumor.
Wang Ruixiang was also tortured quite a lot, and it was probably her instruction that he came to apologize later.
She felt at ease doing it because someone else was taking the blame.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Fangyuan came over, looked at her face, and said carefully:
"Hey, don't think too much. I really don't blame you. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I just want to share with you what happened in the past few days. I can't help but say it."
Qin Ying collected her thoughts and smiled with a relaxed expression:
"Yuanyuan, it's nice to meet you!"
"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm just telling you the truth, why are you getting so sentimental?"
Xie Fangyuan was originally worried that she was overthinking it, but when she suddenly heard Qin Ying's sincere tone, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable and her eyes wandered around.
"Get to work!"
She pushed Qin Ying, just sharing her resentment with her, which moved her.
"Yuanyuan, my parents-in-law said they're going to hold a celebration banquet for me. You and Brother Changzheng should come. It'll be in the courtyard."
"Ah? This is a good thing. We must go. We will both go then."
Xie Fangyuan's emotions subsided quickly, and her round face became bright again.
"Well, I'll tell you the specific time then!"
"good!"

In the army, Fu Hanzhou was reading the Yancheng Daily of that day carefully.
He didn't expect that the headline on the front page today would be about his wife.
He shook his head helplessly, with a slight smile on his lips. The little girl didn't even mention a word when she returned home yesterday.
He had been busy for a long time before he finally had time to pick up the newspaper. She really surprised him.
As he was watching intently, Tan Jiahe, the director of the army's political department, rushed in with a smile on his face, holding up a newspaper and saying:
"Fu Tuan, you've been hiding it so well! Your sister-in-law is in the newspaper, and you didn't even tell the brothers about such a big thing?"
Fu Hanzhou heard his voice, raised his head from the newspaper, glanced at him quickly, lowered his head and continued reading, and a steady voice came from behind the newspaper:
"She didn't mention it to me last night, and I just saw it."
"See, I knew my sister-in-law wasn't an ordinary person. She kept her true self hidden in front of you!"
Tan Jiahe didn't care whether he had finished reading or not, he just kept talking to himself:
"Your sister-in-law is beautiful and she's also the top scorer in the college entrance exam. No wonder you're hiding your treasure like that all day long. Anyone would keep it tightly covered, tsk tsk..."
