With the abduction of Chiang Qing, Cheng Su felt as if the sky was blue, and as March was quickly passing, she started preparing for her trip to Guangcheng.
Guangcheng, a developed major city, would become a first-tier city in the future and a great place to make money. More and more people would go there to strike it rich, driving rapid city development.
As for Cheng Su, she wasnât the kind to put all her eggs in one basket. Spreading them out seemed safer, and the opportunities would be greater.
Therefore, she thought of taking advantage of the trip to see if there were any business opportunities worth developing, and also wanted to introduce the Joy Soon Loy Jam business there.
After discussing with Xiao Pinshan, Cheng Su decided to take Zhao Da and Wang Bo along.
Speaking of Zhao Da, the young man had been eating well and grown quite robust. He was energetic and healthy, with strong learning capabilities and eloquence. He had risen from a janitor to a salesperson, and within two years, he became a team leader. His skills and performance were outstandingâan exploitable talent.
Wang Bo and Zhao Da had also become the main force for business trips. They cherished Cheng Suâs support, and once Cheng Su decided on the tripâs date, they quickly set about researching Guangcheng, including market surveys, culture, and history. Understanding these aspects would effectively broaden their perspectives.
Knowing that Cheng Su would travel with two young men from the Jam Company, Qi Taiguo felt more at ease. Originally, he wanted to take a leave to accompany her, but he then got a short-term training assignment, overlapping exactly with Cheng Suâs travel days.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Su laughed, "I have two Protectors of Flowers with me; arenât you worried Iâll get lost?"
Qi Taiguo responded, "Even ten of them canât compare to me."
Cheng Su sniffed.
"Susu!"
"Hmm?"
"When you return from Guangcheng, tell me your secret!" Qi Taiguo said.
Cheng Suâs body trembled as she looked at him in surprise.
Qi Taiguo met her gaze, filled with anticipation and trust.
"Okay!" Cheng Su nodded with a smile.
Qi Taiguo also smiled, feeling relieved from the burden in his heart.
The phone rang, and Qi Taiguo picked it up and handed it to Cheng Su.
"Who is it?" Cheng Su asked as she answered.
"Hualing!"
Cheng Su found it even stranger, wondering what the call was about when it was nearly time to get off work.
"Cheng Su, listen, and make sure Qi Taiguo doesnât hear this!" Hualing said urgently over the phone.
"Whatâs the matter?"
"Remember the last time when I told you about seeing Qi Taiguo being all close with a woman at the hospital?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Su rolled her eyes. The person wasnât how Hualing imagined, so she said, "Donât talk nonsense, people..."
Before she could finish, Hualingâs excited voice came through, "Iâm telling you, that woman is here again, right at our hospital. I saw her in the inpatient ward."
Cheng Su was taken aback, "Are you sure you didnât mistake her?"
"My eyes arenât blind, how could I mistake her? Sheâs on the third floor of the inpatient ward."
Cheng Su furrowed her brows, hung up the phone, and looked at Qi Taiguo.
"Whatâs wrong?" Qi Taiguo asked, noticing her strange expression, "Did Hualing say something?"
"Hualing said, the woman she saw last time, Little Yu, is now in the inpatient ward at the hospital!" Cheng Su said slowly.
Qi Taiguo was stunned, his face slightly changed.
