Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Arrangements
In the evening, when Tan Shaoting got off work, he didn’t come over; he was also in a meeting.
This time, it wasn’t his area that had a problem. Instead, there was a flood on the west side.
After listening to Secretary Tan Shaoting’s report, Su Yuanyuan said, "Okay, when your minister returns, tell him I’ll be waiting for him in the office."
This is truly a natural disaster, and it’s quite serious.
Returning to the office, Su Yuanyuan called Bai Yucheng and listened to his report.
"Secretary Bai, do you have any thoughts? Speak your mind."
Having been Su Yuanyuan’s secretary for several years, Bai Yucheng knew her temper. "Minister, I want to move one step further."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I understand. I’ll send you over there; this is an opportunity, but it will also be very dangerous. I’ll give you tonight to think it over. Let me know your decision tomorrow."
I want to give both Qian Zhifeng and Bai Yucheng an opportunity; they are both talents. As long as they can hold on and persevere, that’s enough.
Bai Yucheng felt like he was floating all day; he was too excited.
Becoming Minister Su’s secretary on that day was just as exciting. Now the leader was giving him an opportunity.
Actually, his goal was to become a chief secretary or a special assistant; he never expected the leader to give him such an opportunity.
How could he not know the value of this opportunity inside here? This was paving the way for him.
The leader had told him it was dangerous; how could he not know that? But without danger, how could there be achievements?
He had already decided to go there. Although being a secretary by the leader’s side was good, it was not as swift as the opportunity given by the leader.
After Bai Yucheng left, Su Yuanyuan looked at the documents at hand; this was how it was every day. There were always problems that couldn’t be solved, day after day.
When Tan Shaoting came over, the two went straight home, deciding to have dinner at home.
It was just the two of them, warmly making dumplings. "I’m planning to send Bai Yucheng over; he’s capable and ambitious. I’ve observed him for a long time. Loyalty isn’t a problem."
Tan Shaoting understood that his wife meant loyalty not to her but to the country and the people. He also knew she was paving the way, cultivating a group of people so that they could be more relaxed.
"Fine. You can decide. Where will we spend the New Year this year?"
"Let’s go back to the hometown and have a look."
Last time, Yang Chunsheng and his wife didn’t say anything, but she knew that Hu Chunhua wasn’t doing well now. Besides, since the accident, they really hadn’t seen that family.
"Okay, let’s head out on the evening of the 26th. Let’s stay there for a few more days."
Su Yuanyuan gave a bitter smile; staying a few more days meant the few days of holiday. But it was already good. She wasn’t on duty this time.
Today’s dumplings were the three-delicacies filling that Su Yuanyuan liked. After they ate to their fill, they entered the space. Actually, Su Yuanyuan was a bit worried, but Tan Shaoting didn’t mind.
Qi Yan and the other two were rushing back; their expressions on the way weren’t good, not because they didn’t complete the task this time, but because they discovered unexpected events, which really made them feel a bit upset, and there were such impoverished families.
Honestly, given their age, they were smart, mature, but had seen relatively few things.
They returned to the garrison to hand over the task; Daqing was very happy. Initially, he didn’t agree when they wanted to take on this Grade-A task. But they insisted, and after asking the boss, he agreed; they didn’t expect them to complete it so excellently.
"Do you want to go home? The big sister has already called, saying her friend has come over."
The three children understood. "Uncle Daqing, if there’s nothing here for us, we’ll head back. Why not have someone drive us?"
Driving a car was too showy; though they didn’t feel it was, they didn’t want to cause trouble.
"I’ll drive you; I have some matters to handle."
When the three of them appeared in Su Yuanyuan’s office, Su Yuanyuan smiled.
"Are you going home to rest?"
"Mom, we’ll wait to have lunch before resting. You work; we’ll go see Dad."
Tan Shaoting was busy, but seeing the children come back, he quickly ended a meeting.
"What’s wrong?"
"Dad, it’s still so impoverished outside. We saw the life of a village, and it affected us negatively."
"Actually, many places are like that. Work hard; part of the reason your mom works so hard is for this."
Afterwards, Tan Shaoting shifted the topic and discussed this task. They summarized the shortcomings of the task on the way.
"Dad, you go be busy. Oh, Mom’s friend, what about it?"
"Friends not by her side when we’re gone."
The three children knew; in fact, they were quite grateful for them, as during that time, they were the ones accompanying Mom.
After the children left, Su Yuanyuan told Chengzi to notify Zeng Hongling and the others.
Zeng Hongling joyfully told Chengzi, "We won’t eat at Yuanyuan’s house today; just at my place. I’ll prepare now; Yuanyuan and her family can come over directly after work."
For the past two days, she kept wondering what Yuanyuan’s three children looked like. She was very curious, and she knew they would certainly be beautiful. After all, both parents looked a certain way. Could the children not look good?
After Chengzi left, the family began preparing. They were thinking about letting them taste the specialties from their side.
Two women preparing a couple of tables of dishes wasn’t really difficult.
At noon, Wei Guangxiang and Zhan Yunzhao arrived together.
They ran into each other at work, so they came over together.
Looking at Wei Guangxiang, Zeng Hongling thought he looked much more haggard. How could this be? So she directly asked him.
"I’ve been out almost all year, facing the elements. Isn’t that normal?"
Then he followed Yang Liulang and Yixin into the study.
"How about those five?" He hadn’t been able to reach his five junior apprentices, which was very unusual. He planned to leave with them this time, to see what was happening.
"Guangxiang, we haven’t received any news about them at all. I’m thinking it might not be good news; I’ve been to that place, and it didn’t seem dangerous, nor did I find anything unusual.
Even visited your master; now your two uncles have split. We’ve inquired there but found no news about the five of them."
This made Wei Guangxiang furrow his brows more tightly. This couldn’t be; they parted ways halfway. They wouldn’t give up on that place. But there shouldn’t be any danger, so how was there no news at all?
And they hadn’t mentioned wanting to retire; even if they did, they’d tell him, right? Though he wasn’t around, they knew his connection with the Zeng Family.
