In the hospital, Miao Qingqing was out of the danger zone after emergency treatment and had moved to a ward. Since waking up, she had been clutching a water cup and refusing to let go:
“Old man, you must help me find my lifesaver. It’s all your fault for not coming earlier and letting my lifesaver escape without even knowing his name.”
“Wife, you can’t blame me for this, I told you not to leave home alone, but you didn’t listen.
You sneaked out and then fell sick. If you hadn’t encountered a good Samaritan, what would have happened?” Chu Zhan looked at his wife, who was leaning against the hospital bed.
“How was I to know that I would fall sick suddenly,
I just wanted to go out and buy some things for our grandson!” Miao Qingqing didn’t plan for this.
“I’ve already said our grandson isn’t home yet. If you buy gifts, he won’t be there to receive them. You insisting on waiting here will only bring him trouble.
How about I call him and ask him to take a leave and come to see you? Once you’re recovered, we can go home!” Chu Zhan was feeling helpless with his stubborn wife.
Back in the days, Chu Zhan was a soldier, and Miao Qingqing was a war correspondent. After marrying and having a child, they went through war together and have always been loving each other.
“I can go back to the Imperial Capital with you, but you can’t force my grandson to marry a girl he doesn’t like, or else I won’t go back with you.”
Her grandson was alienated because his grandfather wanted him to marry the granddaughter of his war buddy. This has kept her grandson away from home for many years.
With no other choice, she sneaked off to S Province to see her grandson, but her husband followed her. Now, not only was she not able to see her grandson, she had to return home due to falling ill. The thought made her feel terribly wronged.
“Tell me, what’s wrong with Xiao’ai? That boy refuses to marry her. With his foul temper, who else would want him?” Chu Zhan got really angry when he heard this.
“I don’t care, but you all must not force him!” Miao Qingqing just wanted to fight for her grandson’s welfare.
“Alright, alright, as long as you come home with me, I won’t force him to be with Xiao’ai anymore, okay?”
Li Chao watched on as the old commander coaxed his wife, realizing how tactful the old woman is. If not, who knew when the young master would finally return home.
“Li Chao, did you hear that? The old man has agreed. You’re my witness, in case he goes back on his words when we return to the Imperial Capital!” Miao Qingqing was delighted and wanted someone to bear witness.
“Yes, my lady, I heard.” Li Chao replied while shifting his gaze towards the commander’s dark, frustrated face. Chu Zhan grunted angrily and turned his head away.
The next morning, once everyone had breakfast and finished cleaning up,
Qin Xue took her business plan, shouldered her bag, and set off early to the Ai Clothing Factory to meet Guo Aiguo. She walked leisurely, taking it as a form of exercise.
Upon arrival, the same Uncle Li from yesterday was at the entrance. Qin Xue greeted him, “Uncle Li, good morning. I am here to see Mr. Guo. We had an appointment yesterday. Is he in his office?”
“Yes, he is, go on in.” Uncle Li glanced at Qin Xue and let her through.
This young lady didn’t look down on him like others who thought they were too good for the doorman.
“Thank you, Uncle Li. I’ll be on my way in.” Qin Xue thanked Uncle Li and entered the factory, heading straight for the manager’s office.
“Good morning, Mr. Guo.” Qin Xue saw Guo Aiguo in his office and knew he was waiting for her.
“Good morning, Qin Xue. Please take a seat.” Guo Aiguo poured some water and placed it in front of Qin Xue.
He had thought a lot about it last night, and perhaps Qin Xue could be their factory’s savior. That’s why he was even more polite than yesterday.”
“I won’t stand on ceremony then. This is the business plan I wrote, take a look. We can talk more after you’ve gone through it.” Qin Xue handed over the business plan with both hands and slid the design papers over as well.
Guo Aiguo carefully read through the plan, line by line, his face revealing immense surprise. This Qin Xue is truly talented.
She managed to write such a perfect business plan and brought more design sketches than yesterday. He looked at each one carefully.
Even after going through them all, he found it hard to compose himself.
“Qin Xue, did you write and draw all these?”
“Yes, I did both. Is there any problem?” At the sight of Guo Aiguo’s expression, Qin Xue knew he was satisfied. She was deliberately putting him on the spot with her question..
