Lu Jingchuan moved quickly, finishing his clothes and washing up in just two minutes. Before leaving, he went into the study to get some things and brought them to the bedroom. "Linglong, take this knife with you for self-defense."
Seeing that the knife was only as long as an adult's middle finger and it was a folding knife, it could be attached to a keychain, Gong Linglong readily accepted it: "Okay."
"If you encounter someone who is blind in the future, just fight him. Even if he breaks the sky, I will help you."
Lu Jingchuan didn't tell her about what happened to Bao Quan last night, and he wouldn't allow them to hurt her. Now he was laying the groundwork, and it wouldn't be long before he could catch all these scum.
Seeing that he knew what happened yesterday, Gong Linglong raised her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I will eat anything, but I won't suffer any loss."
Lu Jingchuan raised the corners of his mouth, walked forward to hug her and kissed her, "I'm going to exercise, please be careful when you go to and from get off work. Boil an egg for me in the morning, you don't have to cook for me."
"Okay, go ahead."
After he went to the training ground for exercise, Gong Linglong quickly made the bed, took out the dough that had been fermented last night and placed in the space, took out the chili meat sauce from the cupboard, and quickly made a basket of spicy meat sauce steamed buns.
It took me some time to steam the steamed buns this morning, so I didn’t have time to eat them at home. I rushed to the commuter bus at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, carrying a small basket of buns.
Brother Wang was still eating breakfast, a pancake in his hand. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to run so fast. I know you have to go to work every day. If you don't come on time, I'll leave two minutes later to wait for you."
"Brother Wang, thank you."
Gong Linglong saw that there were very few people on the bus today, with only one passenger. The other person looked up at this moment. He was a familiar face from the art troupe and smiled at her faintly.
The person in the car was Cheng Susu. Seeing Gong Linglong, she also smiled slightly: "Comrade Gong, let's go to work."
"Yes, aren't you going to work today?" Gong Linglong also responded politely.
"I have to go to work. I'm on a delegation going to the city for a meeting and study today."
Cheng Susu, who had been sitting in the back, stood up and walked to the front. She took out a persimmon cake from her bag and gave it to her: "Comrade Gong, have a persimmon cake."
"Thanks."
Gong Linglong accepted it with a smile, opened her own small basket, and grabbed a large steaming flower roll for her. "I just steamed these this morning, with chili sauce flavor. Try one and see how it tastes."
"I've never eaten steamed buns with hot sauce. They look delicious." Cheng Susu accepted it readily.
Gong Linglong took one for her and also grabbed one for Brother Wang: "Brother Wang, you try it too."
Brother Wang took the steamed bun and casually exchanged it for a pancake for her. "My wife makes scallion pancakes, they taste pretty good too. Sister-in-law, try some too."
The three of them shared it with each other. The two who were eating the spicy sauce flower rolls took a bite and said in unison: "Delicious."
Gong Linglong finished her scallion pancake and started eating the spicy sauce steamed bun. She grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth. As she ate, she chatted with Cheng Susu, "Comrade Cheng, Xu Wei came back yesterday afternoon. Is there any further information about her being abducted by human traffickers?"
"The Public Security Bureau is still trying to catch her traffickers."
Speaking of Xu Wei, Cheng Susu had a strange expression on her face as she told them what happened last night: "Xu Wei came back yesterday afternoon, but something happened again in the evening."
"Ah? Something happened again?" Gong Linglong was surprised and curious: "Is he missing again?"
“Nothing is missing.”
Cheng Susu smiled and said, "She encountered a snake while taking a shower in the bathroom last night. The snake chased and bit her, and she lost two front teeth, broke her nose, and..."
At this point, she glanced at Brother Wang in front of her, then leaned over to Gong Linglong's ear and whispered, "She was taking a shower at the time and didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She was so scared she rushed out and ended up falling naked in front of the man."
Gong Linglong matched her expression with shock and silently asked, "Was I seen naked?"
Cheng Susu bit her lip and nodded.
"Is she in the hospital now?" Gong Linglong pointed in the direction of the military hospital.
"She fainted from the pain, her mouth full of blood. She was later sent to the hospital and I heard she would have to stay in the hospital for several days." Cheng Susu went with them at the time and went back to the dormitory after sending her out of the operating room.
Gong Linglong's expression was just right, and she pouted as she said, "She keeps getting into trouble, which seriously affects the work and image of the art troupe."
"That's right. I've noticed that Director Xue and Deputy Director Li haven't been in a good mood lately. Because she and Meng Xiaoying were absent, we had to make changes to our rehearsals again and again."
Cheng Susu has always been at odds with the two of them and has been targeted by them many times, but her family has some background that the Meng family cannot just touch, so she can compete with Meng Xiaoying and others for a long time.
They chatted all the way to the city, and Xu Wei, who was being talked about, was in tears in the ward.
She fell and fainted from the pain last night. She was then injected with anesthetic and underwent surgery to fix the bones. In the middle of the night, the anesthetic wore off and she woke up from the pain.
Thinking about all the bad things that happened recently, coupled with the unbearable severe pain, she started crying in the middle of the night and has not stopped until now, with her eyes swollen.
Recently, people in the art troupe have been very dissatisfied with her. Meng Xiaoying was suspended and sent home again. Except for a few people who had some interactions with her and went to visit her and brought her breakfast, no one else cared about her.
Gong Linglong had a good chat with Cheng Susu along the way. The place where Cheng Susu studied in the morning was not far from the civil affairs department, so the two of them went there together.
When I rushed to the office, Director Yang was already there, and several leaders who had interviewed and assessed her last time were all there. They were all gathered together for breakfast, which they had just bought from the company cafeteria, white porridge and steamed buns.
"Secretary Yan, Director Yang, Director Xiao..."
Gong Linglong knocked on the door and entered the room. She called out to everyone with a smile, then placed the small basket she had brought on the table. With a smile on her face, she invited everyone, "I made some steamed flower rolls this morning with spicy sauce. Please come and try my cooking, leaders."
"I've tried sweet ones, salty ones with chopped green onions, but I've never tried spicy ones."
Secretary Yan saw that the flower rolls were very beautiful, so he took one with a smile and asked her, "Xiao Gong, have you eaten yet?"
"I just ate it on the way." Gong Linglong said with a smile.
"Why did you bring so much? Specially for us?" Director Yang asked.
"I'll bring some for you to try, and then I'll send two to my mom during lunch break."
Seeing that none of them took any, Gong Linglong took the initiative to grab two for each of them and said, "They're still warm. Eat them quickly. I think they taste pretty good."
"Just eat one, and give the rest to your mother."
Director Yang put one back into the basket and casually asked, "Does your mother also work in the city?"
"Yes, she works at the cadre sanatorium near the south gate of Dongjiang Park. She has only been working there for less than a month."
Gong Linglong told them with a smile, adding, "I came here to apply for the job, and it was the old cadre at the nursing home who told my mother the news."
