Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 886: Ambition 886

Li Shaoguang was delighted. "Grandpa, why don’t you come with us? That way, the three of us won’t have to be separated."

Li Hongxiang laughed, "You all have good intentions, but can you really go abroad if your grades aren’t up to par?"

"Grandpa, don’t worry, we definitely won’t have any problems."

Su Yuanyuan looked at the family’s situation with satisfaction, stayed for a while, and then left.

She went to Zeng Hongling’s house. The door was already closed.

"Yuanyuan, you’re back? That’s great. I thought you’d be gone for a month!"

"Not that long. It was mainly the travel that delayed me. But I didn’t bring anything back.

I didn’t go anywhere, came back right after the meeting ended." Last time, she brought back some gifts from abroad to share with them, but this time she really had nothing.

"It’s alright. It’s just good to have you back safely, we understand your work."

Qian Zhifeng reminded her to leave, it wasn’t safe to stay too late.

After sending Su Yuanyuan off, Zeng Hongling and her husband said, "Will it be difficult to see her again in the future?" and sighed.

"Yes, it will be increasingly difficult in the future."

"It’s fine, as long as she’s doing well."

The next day, Su Yuanyuan accepted an interview from the radio station and several newspapers. It was only an hour long, but the conversation went well, full of positive energy.

The following days became even busier. Although it was already December here, in other countries, they’re not really celebrating New Year.

The parties interested in cooperating are actively negotiating. Anyway, everything is moving in a good direction.

That day, the four of them gathered for a meal again.

"Xiao Su, take a look at how well this newspaper was written."

Su Yuanyuan had already seen it and nodded, "That reporter has quite the writing skills. If they’re interested, they could be cultivated."

"Indeed, the writing is sharp. Let’s investigate it."

"Xiao Su, that document is very useful. It saved a lot of time, and our research progress has sped up significantly."

The other two certainly knew what it was about, but they wouldn’t continue discussing the topic.

"Where are you going for New Year’s, Xiao Su?"

"I’m going home."

"Doesn’t someone live at your place?"

"It’s okay, we can relax together."

"Sure, but you must take a bodyguard when you go out."

Su Yuanyuan knew, and that’s what she disliked. It truly drove her crazy, leaving her with no options. No privacy anymore in the future.

"I’ll just stay here."

"Xiao Su, let’s celebrate New Year’s together," Xu Guozhi said with a smile.

"I don’t want to. Actually, I want to spend a few days alone."

Zeng Zhenqing understood Su Yuanyuan’s temperament. He knew the young woman was actually quite solitary. It was normal for her to have such thoughts.

"Xiao Su, it’s not safe."

"Let’s talk about it then, if not, I’ll stay at another house."

"Where can you go? Everything needs tidying, and you can’t not have a fire in winter, right? And you have to eat, right? There’s always life to be lived."

"Hmm, that’s true, we’ll see when the time comes. I just want a few quiet days."

That day, Zhang Chunsheng came over to a meeting and brought several letters.

"Thanks."

"Xiao Su, where are you going for New Year’s? Why don’t you spend it at the garrison? Your house is still there.

If you go, I can tidy it up for you. Besides, you can eat at the canteen too."

Su Yuanyuan had been thinking about this lately. In fact, Zhang Chunsheng’s suggestion was the most suitable. Here, she really didn’t dare to enter the space, but at the garrison, she could.

At home or at someone else’s place, she wouldn’t be comfortable, but at the garrison, no one would disturb her.

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Alright, I’ll go to the garrison. Please tidy it up for me, and I won’t need a bodyguard there."

Zhang Chunsheng nodded, "Yes, it’s the safest there. I’ll arrange it when I get back."

It’s certain that Zeng Zhenqing would know about Su Yuanyuan’s decision to spend New Year’s at the garrison. Thinking about it, it really was suitable.

After the benefits were distributed, Su Yuanyuan asked Qian Zhifeng to deliver them to three families, and she strictly wasn’t allowed to cook herself.

In the evening, she returned to her residence and looked at three letters; one from the village head of her old home, the other two from Zhao Yanli’s sisters.

Opening the village head’s letter, it said that due to planting medicinal herbs, every family in the village earned quite a bit of money this year. Although more than half went to public rations, each household still received a fair share. Everyone thanked Su Yuanyuan.

Su Yuanyuan wrote back, telling them to be sure to listen to the technician, and saying that as long as everyone agreed, they could continue planting medicinal herbs every year.

The rest of the letter was just sending regards to the couple, with nothing else.

Zhao Yanli’s letter was particularly interesting, filled with praise; it was clear she was extremely excited. She also asked when Su Yuanyuan might come back for a visit.

The last letter was from Zhao Yanping. Her sisters’ letters were similar but Zhao Yanping’s was a bit more composed, showing their closer relationship.

Su Yuanyuan replied separately to the two sisters. It was unrealistic to visit them; she simply didn’t have the time and just hoped for their happiness.

She didn’t really remember how close their relationship had been before, but from their letters, she could still feel it.

Thinking about the current temperature, maybe sending them some snacks would be okay? She wasn’t sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.

She would have her secretary handle it the next day, as it was the only way to express her goodwill.

The next day, after giving instructions to Qian Zhifeng, she went to work.

Foreigners here would also celebrate New Year’s locally, so these people-friendly touches involved sending some local specialties.

During lunch, she heard some country representatives were quite dissatisfied, feeling not enough was given.

This situation indeed existed; human desire is insatiable. In the future, it might be wise to consider always sending some porcelain items.

That day, Zhang Chunsheng came again; the work over there was extremely busy, and with New Year’s approaching, logistics also needed arranging.

"Xiao Su, here’s your mail."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me. By the way, your home has already been tidied up, someone lights a fire there every day. Do you have the 28th off?"

"Yes, the 28th. I’ll drive myself over."

"Better not. I’ll have Daqing pick you up. That way, it’s safe, and everyone can relax."

Su Yuanyuan gave a wry smile, "It’s because of this lack of freedom that I don’t like work."

"You’ll get used to it. I’m off; the leader has already signed for me."

Su Yuanyuan used her break to read Zhao Yanli’s letter. It turned out her elder brother’s daughter wanted to go to school, and she complained about her sister-in-law’s letter.
