Chapter 135: 135 has potential

The two stopped talking when they saw Qian Jun and followed him outside.

The person picking them up was Lu Weiqi. Wei Kaiyun was not in the car.

Director Jiang at the restaurant saw the four enter the private room and greeted them warmly.

"Mr. Qian, Director Jiang, please have a seat."

Qian Jun also smiled. "It’s been a long time, Director Jiang."

"Indeed, come, come, quickly sit down. We have good stuff today."

Jiang Xinyu chuckled inside, thinking that "we have good stuff today" must be Director Jiang’s catchphrase.

Before the introductions were finished, a loud voice from outside called, "Old Jiang, Old Jiang, where are you?"

Jiang Cong smiled apologetically, "You sit first, I have some friends coming," he said, stepping out.

"Secretary Lu, what time is the train ticket?"

"It’s at one in the afternoon tomorrow, it’s a sleeper ticket."

"That’s pretty nice, Director Jiang has been longing for a sleeper ticket."

Jiang Xinyu smiled with her mouth closed, "Thank you, Director Wei, thank you, Secretary Lu."

Song Qingqing was also quite happy to hear there was a sleeper ticket. She hadn’t dared to ask in the car before, but now she felt at ease.

The door opened, and Jiang Cong entered with three others following him.

"Xiao Wei, if you’re treating today, count the three of us in as well? Old Jiang said he gave you all the good stuff."

Wei Kaiyun stood up with a smile, "It’s my honor. You are people I can’t even usually manage to invite."

When Wei Kaiyun stood up, the others in the private room also stood up.

"Old Liang, Old Ding, Old Wu, let me introduce you.

This is Qian Jun from T City Textile Factory, Mr. Qian, and this is Jiang Xinyu, Director Jiang. This is Mr. Qian’s Secretary Song, Secretary Song."

"Qian Jun, this is Liang Shaozuo, Director of the Dyeing Factory, and Wu Junfei, Director of the Cigarette Factory, and He Jian Country, Director of the Pharmaceutical Factory."

The four shook hands. Liang Shaozuo and Qian Jun knew each other, but this was their first meeting since Qian Jun’s promotion.

"Mr. Qian is young and promising, it’s an honor to meet you today."

"Mr. He is too polite, I’m just the junior."

Jiang Xinyu thought to herself that Qian Jun was quite articulate.

"Director Jiang, the young comrade is also very good."

Jiang Xinyu shook hands with Liang Shaozuo, "Thank you for the compliment, Director Liang."

After everyone exchanged some pleasantries, they sat down.

Jiang Cong brought in two people with dishes, which were indeed quite lavish.

Wu Junfei and Wei Kaiyun were whispering to each other. Qian Jun was also discussing work matters with Liang Shaozuo.

This meal had nothing to do with the few small fry, so Jiang Xinyu ate without worry.

Wei Kaiyun kept his eyes on Jiang Xinyu, which was noticed by He Jian Country beside him.

"Director Jiang, I heard you used to be Xiao Wei’s secretary?"

"Yes, Director Wei is talented, and we subordinates have learned a lot from him."

"Haha, the young comrade has potential. Xiao Wei, having such a perceptive secretary is much better than my naive boy at home."

Wei Kaiyun nodded with a smile, "Secretary Lu is also very good."

Lu Weiqi was flustered with joy upon hearing the director’s praise.

The dining table is the best way to bond feelings; this meal lasted quite a while.

After it was over, everyone left reluctantly. Wei Kaiyun wanted to take Jiang Xinyu away but lacked the strength, so he returned to the dormitory dejectedly.

After breakfast the next day, Jiang Xinyu and Song Qingqing agreed to go out for a stroll. Qian Jun went to the dyeing factory by himself.

"Director Jiang, where should we go first?"

"There’s only the building, do you have a lot of tickets?"

"I have them all with me."

They started browsing from the first floor, thinking it was just that. It felt a lot like the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

At noon, they came back with food in hand; with no choice, life on the train could use some improvement.

Lu Weiqi was the one who saw them off to the train, and he even brought them some apples.

When they got off, Jiang Xinyu felt that standing on solid ground was the most reassuring.

"Mr. Qian, do we have to work today?"

"Just go home and rest."

Jiang Xinyu sarcastically thought that she was just an accessory all along, not playing any role at all.

Returning to her home after more than ten days away, Jiang Xinyu felt like crying; nowhere was better than home.

Suddenly not tired, she tidied up inside and out, indulged in a bath, and felt full of energy.

The next morning, she felt a bit chilly, well, it’s already late October. She wondered if she could go up the mountain to take a look?

In the end, she gave up the idea because not only did she promise Wei Kaiyun to save her vacation days, but without anyone accompanying her up there, she didn’t have the courage either.

At lunch, she ran into Wang Ailing in the cafeteria. The two had endless things to say, "Xinyu, my brother got married."

"That’s good news! Did you go back?"

"I went back, but it was simple, no banquet at all."

"Is everything at home okay?"

"Not so good, it’s tough with the little bumpkin, probably won’t be much better this year. Xinyu, let me tell you, my sister-in-law said they traded fifty jin of wheat for her."

Jiang Xinyu looked at Wang Ailing, speechless. "Sis, you need to change that thinking. It’s not fair to your sister-in-law."

"I know, if it weren’t for my mom seeing that my sister-in-law is capable and sensible, she wouldn’t have agreed. Her family was essentially selling their daughter."

"Alright, stop talking about that, otherwise, relations could get tough later on."

"Yes, I know. By the way, did you get to shop in the provincial city this time?"

"What’s there worth shopping for? Too hot and tiring. It’s hotter than here."

"By the way, our dorm says there’s a social gathering on Saturday. Are you going?"

"A social gathering?"

"At the city coal mine club."

"I’m not interested, are you going?"

"I don’t know."

"If you go, be careful. You never know people’s true intentions."

"Then I won’t go; I heard Kong Mengjie is going."

"Then I’m definitely not going."

"Xinyu, why do I feel like you’re afraid of Kong Mengjie and always avoid her?"

You see very clearly, "I feel like I’m an ugly duckling in front of her."

Wang Ailing understood Jiang Xinyu’s meaning; Kong Mengjie is indeed very beautiful, and few girls can feel confident in front of her.

Back in her office, Song Qingqing and Pan Xiulan came over together.

"Do you two want some milk malt drink?"

"Director Jiang, you have good stuff? I want some." Song Qingqing had gotten to know Jiang Xinyu well over the past few days on the business trip, so she didn’t hold back.

"Then I won’t be polite either," Pan Xiulan said with a smile.

The three girls each had a cup of milk malt drink, filling the office with the sweet aroma of milk.

"Director Jiang, someone invited me to the coal mine club on Saturday."

"Me too."

"My friend just told me they’re organizing a matchmaking event."

"A matchmaking event?"

"Yes, think about it, most of the people at the coal mine are men, and the textile factory has the most working women, so there you go!"
