Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: Striving

Tan Shaoting took care of Yuanyuan during the meal, and Yuanyuan also helped him pick out food. The couple was clearly showing their affection.

Actually, there’s no one who isn’t envious of this perfect couple.

After lunch, everyone left to take a short break.

He Yuanhao followed Yuanyuan into the office.

"Minister He?"

"Minister Su, I’m new to this field, and I need to study for a while. I feel like I’m lacking in so many aspects."

Yuanyuan looked at her watch. "Minister He, you’re being too modest. I think your work is excellent."

He Yuanhao shook his head with a smile, "No, it’s far from enough. I feel like I lack knowledge."

Yuanyuan thought for a moment. "Let’s schedule a time in the afternoon to hold a small meeting with Mr. Lu to allocate work.

We need to finalize our tasks. If you still have questions by then, we can discuss them."

"Alright."

After seeing off He Yuanhao, Yuanyuan didn’t take a break either. There were a lot of documents on the table.

Qian Zhifeng also came in; he had a lot of work to report.

He knew his leader had the ability to multitask.

Chengzi brought in a glass of water. Yuanyuan multitasked as she listened to Qian Zhifeng’s report.

"Can you lead the team next time?"

"Yes, I’ll definitely do my best to complete the task."

"Alright. You go get ready then."

Right now, Yuanyuan didn’t want to go out, mainly because Tan Shaoting was too busy with work. He wasn’t comfortable with her going out alone, so she’d send someone else.

She knew she had issues, that she was somewhat impulsive. Sometimes, her actions were driven by emotions.

She was well aware that this wasn’t ideal, so it was better to cultivate a rational person.

In the afternoon, Chengzi made use of Yuanyuan’s break time to inform her that the meeting with the three of them was scheduled after work hours.

Yuanyuan didn’t object. It was just the two of them at home. The kids weren’t there, and with Tan Shaoting being so busy today, it didn’t matter if she returned a bit later.

After work, Yuanyuan went to Lu Chengmin’s office. This time, he arranged for a working dinner with the three of them.

Knowing Yuanyuan’s habits, dinner was quite polarized, with one being normal, and the other prepared lightly for Yuanyuan.

"Xiao Su, you’re like an old man having dinner."

"Leader, it’s for health."

"Then what’s the fun in life?"

Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, "Leader, life’s pleasures can be considered in other ways."

"I’ve allocated the work. Xiao Su, you’ll mainly handle the external affairs."

"Leader, the workload is still half for me. How about I and Minister He each take half?"

Yuanyuan knew He Yuanhao was also fluent in several languages.

"Wouldn’t my workload increase?"

"No, it will stay the same."

Lu Chengmin and others knew Yuanyuan was considering stepping back, as she was nurturing her subordinates.

"Xiao Su, you’re still young."

"Leader, my mindset is old."

Lu Chengmin was struck by Yuanyuan’s words, looking at her in surprise.

He Yuanhao couldn’t help but laugh.

Lu Chengmin looked at Yuanyuan, exasperated, "Are you as old as me?"

"In mindset, we’re about the same."

He Yuanhao coughed lightly. "I can take on more work."

Watching these two pushing responsibilities was quite interesting.

"Alright then."

Since someone agreed, that’s how it was.

After dinner, they specifically allocated tasks, with Yuanyuan still leading the external affairs since she had more experience than He Yuanhao.

Once the work allocation was done, it could be announced the next day. This way, the subordinates would know which leader to report their work to.

Tan Shaoting was brought in by the secretary.

"Xiao Tan, have you eaten yet?"

"Leader, I’ve already eaten." He said, sitting next to Yuanyuan as he had finished his work.

On the way home, they noticed He Yuanhao’s car following them. It turned out their homes weren’t far apart.

In the evening, Tan Shaoting was relentless. With such a young, unmarried person around his wife, he felt a sense of crisis.

"Yuanyuan, now that your workload has reduced, shall we have a child? It’s too lonely with just the two of us."

"We don’t even have time to raise a child."

Yuanyuan also wanted another child. However, with her current busy schedule, she really didn’t have the time.

"I’ll handle it. We can divide our time, and maybe raise the child."

Yuanyuan was convinced. She thought that having a child would make life more fulfilling.

Tan Shaoting understood his wife’s meaning, and then it became endless. Fortunately, both of them were in good health.

Time passed like this. After the work distribution, Yuanyuan relaxed for two days. Afterward, the workload on the other side increased.

She knew this would happen. No rush, wait until Gu Yuanqing achieved results there. Observe his methods and mindset, and if it works, she could also relax.

Qian Zhifeng was particularly busy now. With too much work assigned by the leaders, he was also arranging things for his trip.

On Sunday, Qi Yan and his siblings returned. This time, it was Yuanyuan who called them back.

"Take a look at this, will you?"

After Qi Yan read it, he handed it over to his younger siblings.

"Mom, it’s okay for just one of us to go, isn’t it? Aren’t Lawyer Zhang and the others also going?"

"Decide for yourselves. Since it’s already qualified, you should make use of it."

At this point, Qi Hong and Qi Wen had also finished reading.

"I’ll go this time." Qi Wen said with a smile.

Actually, she thought she would be safer than her two brothers, having the capable Gu Ersheng by her side. This provided more assurance for the trip.

Qi Yan and Qi Hong frowned. Rationally, Qi Wen going was safe, but they were still worried.

Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting shared the same thoughts.

Seeing her family not responding after she spoke, Qi Wen continued.

"It’s most suitable for me to go. Rest assured. There’s someone to protect me."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Be careful with everything."

"Dad, what danger could there be? Besides, Lawyer Zhang and Lawyer Liu are also going."

Yuanyuan nodded, "Still, be cautious. Also, a few nationals over there need lawyers. If time permits, help take a look."

"Sure, no problem. Since I’m going anyway, leave in five days?"

"Yes. Initially, I didn’t want you to participate. But Lawyer Zhang has approached me twice." Yuanyuan understood that this was just parents’ concerns for their children. Actually, it was right to let the children strive independently outside. But they were just worried and cared too much.
