Chapter 111: 111 agrees

The four of them still took one car. This time, they missed the bus three times along the way. There was really no way around it. Jiang Xinyu mumbled, wanting to get rich, first build roads.

It just so happened that Tao Juncheng heard this. "Secretary Jiang is right, we really need to build roads first. I’ll definitely make a report on it."

It took the six people more than two hours to get to the city government.

Director Sun and Lv Beiguang both had mud spots on them. It’s not good to meet leaders like this, but now they couldn’t be bothered with it.

They simply cleaned up a bit, and the three leaders went to the mayor’s office.

"Secretary Lv, it’s okay now, you have mud spots on your back, want me to wipe them off for you?"

Lv Beiguang nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Secretary Jiang. I hate roads like these the most."

Jiang Xinyu noticed that Secretary Lv has a cleanliness obsession and a bit of OCD.

"We have towels in the car, I’ll get one for you," said Secretary Cao.

After tidying up, the three of them waited outside the door. It’s been a long time without any news, so there is hope.

"Secretary Jiang, can you understand Russian?"

"Mm, my grandpa taught me when I was little. I can understand, but not speak."

"Haha, Secretary Jiang is too modest. If you can understand, you can speak."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t argue. She could speak, but her tutor once commented that she was at the baby babbling stage.

The mayor’s secretary invited them to the office to have some water. The mayor’s secretary is very busy. The three girls were too embarrassed to disturb him, so each took a newspaper.

By noon, the three still hadn’t come out of the office.

"Come on, I’ll take you three to eat." The mayor’s secretary adjusted the glasses and said with a smile.

"Secretary Zhang, should we wait for the leaders? It wouldn’t be good if they couldn’t find us later."

"Alright." After saying this, he lowered his head to work again. The previous invitation was just a polite gesture.

But at twelve, Secretary Zhang went out once.

At one o’clock, the mayor’s office door finally opened.

Secretary Zhang stepped forward, "Mayor Qi, I’ve already informed the cafeteria to prepare. Please go have your meal."

"Alright, let’s have lunch together."

Secretary Zhang knew that Mayor Qi was very happy. This meant success.

Eight people went to the cafeteria, and inside food was quickly prepared: vegetable buns with three-flour leek and dried cabbage, and egg soup.

They didn’t talk about work during the meal, so after eating, the four leaders went back to the office.

Jiang Xinyu had already read through ten newspapers. After lunch, she felt a bit sleepy, but she couldn’t sleep in this situation and had to force herself to stay awake.

"Secretary Jiang, you can go inside and rest for a while."

"Thank you, Secretary Zhang, but it’s not necessary. I’ll just go wash my face."

After washing her face with cold water, she felt much more refreshed. Lv Beiguang also came out at this time.

He took out a cigarette and puffed away on the side.

"Secretary Jiang, will you be going to Russia too?"

"If there’s an arrangement from above, I’ll go."

"It should be quite tiring."

"Yeah, but it’s nice to get a look at the outside world, something I wouldn’t have the chance to do on my own."

"You’re really different from others." If she was like this, maybe I’d have a happy family?

"We’re all the same, I’m just bolder than others.

Secretary Lv, let’s go inside, in case the leaders can’t find us."

At three in the afternoon, Jiang Xinyu and Lv Beiguang were called to the mayor’s office.

"Are you Secretary Jiang? You can understand Russian?"

"Yes, I can understand simple conversations."

"Alright, you stay in the city today and go to the provincial city to submit the application tomorrow, can you do that on your own?"

"Yes."

This means going to the provincial city alone. Do I really have such an opportunity?

"Alright, you two go back and prepare."

The four of them came out together. "Secretary Jiang, is there anything inconvenient for you?" Qian Jun noticed a slightly troubled expression and asked.

"Mr. Qian, can I come back tomorrow? I’d like to go home and pack some clothes for a change."

Qian Jun thought for a moment, "Alright, I’ll bring you over in the morning."

He then turned and knocked on the mayor’s office door.

Jiang Xinyu felt a bit guilty inside, thinking she might have caused trouble for the factory director?

After Qian Jun came out, he nodded towards Jiang Xinyu. "The mayor agreed that you can take the train directly from the county tomorrow."

After the four got in the car, Sun Baosheng started his chatterbox mode again.

Jiang Xinyu looked out of the car window, watching the farmers working by the roadside.

"This rain really came at the right time."

"Secretary Jiang cares about this too?"

"Director Sun, I’m just a farmer."

"With a fair and clear little girl, it’s always a bit misleading."

The way back was much smoother than the way there. After a whole day of sun, though still slippery, it didn’t cause delays anymore.

"Let’s go to the train station to book tickets first, see when the train departs."

"Secretary Jiang, can you manage on your own?"

"Director Sun, no need to worry, I’ll be fine."

"How about letting Beiguang go with you?"

"Director Sun, it’ll be busier at home, better to leave Secretary Lv here."

"Hahaha, Beiguang, look, Secretary Jiang doesn’t like you, huh?"

Lv Beiguang glared at Sun Baosheng. This blunt man dares to say anything.

Qian Jun also frowned at him. "Director Sun, Secretary Jiang is still a young girl. Some jokes aren’t appropriate."

"Okay, okay, my bad. Secretary Jiang, don’t mind it."

"I don’t mind."

The train tickets were bought by Lv Beiguang, it was a train at nine in the morning.

Returning to the textile factory was just in time for the end of the workday. Qian Jun invited Sun Baosheng to dinner, but he declined.

"I won’t eat. I need to save money because it sounds like the mayor suggested personal purchases could be allowed. I have many relatives starving back home, this is a good chance."

After seeing Sun Baosheng off, "Mr. Qian, I’d also like to get some grain for our village."

"Sure, this time you’ll definitely have the chance to go, just make your own arrangements."

Hearing Qian Jun’s affirmative answer, Jiang Xinyu immediately ran to the dormitory to find Wang Ailing.

"Sis, I’m going with our factory director to Russia to buy cotton and grain. Tomorrow go home and tell the village head. If our village wants to buy some, tally it up, and when I come back from the provincial city, it’s probably time to go."

"Really?"

"Do you think I would lie to you?"

"Xinyu, would this be wrong for you to do?"

"I don’t know either. I just asked Mr. Qian, and he agreed."

"Alright, I’ll head home tomorrow. Xinyu, you should still write a letter. I’m afraid I can’t explain clearly."

"Okay, you go back and tell your family to change all the money my uncle’s family has into grain."

Wang Ailing nodded, "Okay, I’ll definitely tell my dad. I’ve also managed to save over a hundred bucks, I’ll use it all to buy grain."

"Mm, with grain in hand, there’s no panic in the heart."

"Xinyu, why did they pick you to go?"

"I can understand Russian."

"How did you learn it?"

"My grandpa could speak it, so I can understand but not speak."

"Oh, I didn’t know your grandpa spoke Russian."

"My grandpa was from a wealthy family. What’s so surprising about that?"

"That’s great, you even get to go abroad for a trip."

"Mm, I’ll bring back some delicious food and pretty clothes for you."
