Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 981: 981 Returns

Zhao Xiaojing also saw Xu Hongbing looking at her. She turned around and left.

Everything is cut off, everything is over. There will be no connection with Xu Hongbing in the future.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The little sister was right to scold me. It’s not like I can’t live without a man. From now on, I’ll live for myself and for my sons.

She didn’t return to the apartment in the city; she thought it was too dirty there and told the driver on her way back. She wanted to sell the apartment and asked him to help arrange it.

"Sister, your apartment might be hard to sell, but I’ll help you arrange it."

They were all acquaintances. They also knew Xu Hongbing, which was quite a sensational gossip. Everyone in the city knew.

"Brother, just help me arrange it."

By the time she got home, it was already noon the next day. The carriage stopped at the field office.

"Brother, you can head back. I can walk home myself."

"It’s no trouble, sister. I’ll wait for you for a bit."

"Really, there’s no need. Don’t head back too late."

Zhao Xiaojing entered the field office, and Feng Baoshan was taken aback. "Zhao Xiaojing, why are you back?"

"Director Feng, I’m really sorry, but I’m back again. I couldn’t find work outside, and I still have two sons to support. I should continue farming here. This way, I can still provide for my children’s education."

"Sit down quickly. It’s alright. It’s not a problem. Where are you planning to settle down?"

"Director Feng, we used to have a piece of land to the east of my home. Can I be there? This way, my two brothers can take care of me more conveniently."

"That’s possible, but that land hasn’t been farmed since last year. It’ll be very hard for you this year to work it."

"It’s okay, I’ll slowly take care of it. I still want one hundred acres of land. I just need to trouble Director Feng for assistance."

"Sure. No problem, there’s also housing available, you can see how to arrange it? I will hold a meeting to discuss whether your tasks can be reduced.

This is not guaranteed since all group leaders need to vote in agreement."

"Thank you, Director Feng." Just having the intention is enough.

"How did you get back?" Feng Baoshan didn’t hear any movement outside.

"I rented a car to come back."

"Where’s the car?"

"I let him leave, I can walk back."

In the end, it was Feng Baoshan who drove her back.

An Lixia was stunned when she saw her second daughter coming back.

"Mom."

"Xiaojing, you’re back? It’s good that you’re back."

Zhao Xiaojing nodded with teary eyes, regretting how she once only cared about men and was disdainful of her own family. No matter the time, one still needs their family.

It’s uncertain with other families, but in her family, that’s the way it is.

Feng Baoshan also said nothing and left. He probably knew in his heart that she couldn’t stay outside, and it’s just the Zhao Family; if it were any other family, he wouldn’t have had time to take care of them like this.

Sun Yun heard the commotion and came out. Just in time to see the second sister-in-law come in.

"Xiaojing, it’s good you’re back. We’re here to look after you at home."

"Big sister-in-law, I’ll be troubling you from now on."

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

Her family wasn’t surprised by her return. They all knew she couldn’t stay long where she’d gone. To return so quickly is also a good thing, as it doesn’t delay anything.

Zhao Yanli felt completely relieved after receiving a call from her second sister. This is good. It’s not that she couldn’t fit in, but she truly wasn’t suited for here. First, the work issue was a hassle.

The eldest sister got married and has been here for so many years and is still only a temporary worker. If it weren’t for her replacing her mother-in-law’s job, it wouldn’t be certain what would happen? Her father-in-law’s job could have been offered to her, but there are already people wanting to buy it.

Actually, this is still her own work, and she can’t privately decide to give it to the second sister. Asking her for money is unreasonable. Without asking, how do I explain it to my husband’s family? Furthermore, I still have two brothers, what would the sisters-in-law think?

She took a break to write to Yuanyuan about Zhao Xiaojing’s situation.

Every day was busy for Su Yuanyuan; truly, from opening her eyes until before eight o’clock in the evening, there wasn’t a free moment. She wasn’t even concerned about work hours now.

Moreover, there would sometimes be sudden situations. She went to the office with a stern face in the middle of the night.

She wasn’t grumpy about waking up; she was simply angry at those causing unnecessary trouble.

No choice, even if unwilling, it had to be solved. All the secretaries and those responsible in this area were present.

It was not until six o’clock that it was resolved. At this point, she decided not to go back. She freshened up quickly, had breakfast, and continued working.

It was already the end of March. Su Yuanyuan still wore a padded coat and didn’t feel hot. She thought the reason might be due to overwork.

At noon, she was called over to join Xu Guozhi for a meal. Honestly, this elderly man might just be too lonely.

"Xiao Su, have you thought about going into finance?"

When Xu Guozhi asked this, Lu Chengmin couldn’t stand it. "That would be no good. Old Xu, don’t poach my talent. I finally have a bit of free time."

"What are you in a rush for? Xiao Su, could you serve under Old Lu and also handle some financial duties?

You see, you always offer suggestions and help them, so why not give you a position? Would you consider taking on both roles?"

Su Yuanyuan continued eating, ignoring the conversation between the two. To be honest, those two seemed to have discussed this long ago, hence today’s setup.

"Xiao Su, you’re already an aide over there, so this way your responsibilities are a bit lighter. The authority remains the same. I have already prepared a proposal, planning to present it at the representative meeting."

Zeng Zhenqing also remained silent. Now even if he wanted Su Yuanyuan, it wouldn’t work. This Lu Chengmin was too vigilant, and Xu Guozhi was watching intently from the side.

"Xiao Su, you should agree. I know you have the capability, and we really need people like you now."

Su Yuanyuan finished eating. "Leader, it won’t get approved. I’m just an ordinary person. Asking me to take on two roles, both important, it definitely won’t be approved.

Even if I’m not in finance, wouldn’t I still offer suggestions? It’s unnecessary."

"Xiao Su, it’s actually very necessary. Indeed very necessary. When you’re not in finance, sometimes your words and decisions don’t carry much authority.

Rest assured, you’ll be assigned a secretary specifically for finance, and the routine work won’t be too busy. Your main role is still external relations."

"Leader, as I’ve said, I’m just an ordinary person; I don’t have that capability."

"Yes, you do. No matter what, I’ve already proposed it, just waiting for approval. If it’s not approved, that’s fine. But if it is, you can’t refuse."

Su Yuanyuan thought, now even if I refuse, you wouldn’t accept it, right? Isn’t this just pointless talk? You’ve set the stage, and all I can do is play my part.
