"Don't. Brother, you know that land is so remote. Not to mention building a house, I don't even like it as a cemetery. If the amusement park can't be built, then let's change it to a racing arena? My racing cars will rust if I don't let it come out for a walk. Brother, take pity on me," Jiang Xu said coquettishly.
Jiang Wenrui glanced at him. "I only read the proposal. It's useless to act spoiled."
Jiang Xu: "Brother…"
As he spoke, Jiang Wenrui had already walked to the door. However, he quickly turned around and looked at Jiang Xu's flirtatious suit. "You don't wear a tie during work hours. You're late and flirtatious. Go to the finance department and collect the ticket yourself. Also, dye your colorful hair back for me. Otherwise, I'll directly announce that your racing arena has turned into a graveyard tomorrow."
…
On Sunday afternoon, a scream came from Old Chief Xing's house.
Xing Su lay on the sofa in boredom, rubbing the fat cat in her arms. After rubbing it a few times, the fat cat, who had a bad temper, finally couldn't take it anymore. It slapped Xing Su's face, leaving three shallow scratches on her smooth cheek.
When Auntie Cui heard the sound, she put down the half-pickled pickles and ran over. She made a fuss and exclaimed, waking up Old Chief Xing, who was taking a nap.
The wound on Xing Su's cheek was not deep, but it was still bleeding. After Aunt Cui helped treat the wound, Old Chief Xing was still worried and forced Xing Su to go out for a vaccine. Xing Su was annoyed by her grandfather's nagging and could only change her clothes and go out.
Before leaving, Aunt Cui handed the marinated pickles to Xing Su. "Since you're going to the military hospital for an injection, bring these pickles over. Elder Sun in the army's old courtyard loves to eat my marinated crispy pickles the most. Coincidentally, I made a lot this time, so bring some over for him."
Elder Sun used to be Old Chief Xing's subordinate. The two old men used to like to play chess under the old tree in the backyard of the military hospital. However, ever since Old Chief Xing moved out of the military compound, the two of them saw less of each other.
"Okay." Xing Su took the pickle jar and carried it out the door.
Old Chief Xing called the military hospital in advance, so Xing Su did not have to wait too long. After the rabies vaccine was administered, Xing Su carried the pickle jar and walked towards the military compound behind the hospital. The compound hadn't changed much from more than ten years ago, but the guards at the entrance had changed batch after batch.
Xing Su told the guard about the situation. The guard saluted and called Deputy Chief Sun to confirm before letting Xing Su in. Deputy Chief Sun lived on the fourth floor, and the potted plants at the door were even thicker. After Xing Su pressed the doorbell, she waited quietly at the door.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, but the person who appeared in front of him was actually Zhou Chen! Their eyes met, and the two of them were stunned. Zhou Chen did not expect it to be Xing Su. For a moment, he stood at the door and forgot to speak.
"Who's outside? Why don't you come in?" Grandma Sun's voice came from inside. Only then did Zhou Chen react and move out of the way.
"Why are you here?" Xing Su frowned. Before he could answer, Grandma Sun had already arrived at the door. When she saw Xing Su, she clapped her hands. "Aiyo, Susu! Why are you here? You've become a big girl in the blink of an eye. Come in and let me take a look."
Xing Su hugged the pickle jar and smiled sweetly at Grandma Sun. "Auntie Cui asked me to come over. She made Grandpa Sun's favorite pickles and sent some over."
Grandma Sun took the pickles and called Deputy Chief Sun out while letting Xing Su in. She even went to the kitchen to cut fruits for Xing Su. After Deputy Chief Sun found out that Xing Su was here, he was visibly happy. He kept asking questions to her. After hearing about Old Chief Xing's health, he started to care about Xing Su's academic results. In short, the living room was very lively. On the other hand, Zhou Chen stood quietly and listened to them.
Grandma Sun placed the cut fruits on the coffee table and said to Xing Su, "Susu, let me introduce you. This is my student, Zhou Chen. He's an outstanding child. Moreover, he completed his master's degree in England…"
Xing Su quietly looked at Zhou Chen's slightly embarassed expression. Then, Zhou Chen said in embarrassment, "Teacher Sun, I know Xing Su."
Grandma Sun looked shocked. "Really? What a coincidence. How did you two meet? From overseas?"
Zhou Chen nodded. They should now be considered acquaintances. Compared to Zhou Chen's embarassment, Xing Su was very carefree. She stood up and said to Deputy Chief Sun and Grandma Sun, "Grandma Sun, Grandpa Sun, my grandfather is still waiting for me to go back. I won't stay any longer."
