Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Parachuting

So, the money that was swindled was all retrieved.

But the Wang Family also stated, "A married daughter is like water splashed out, Wang Mei is already of this age, sending her back now would be pushing her to death. If he dares divorce her, Old Lady Wang has declared she would fight it out and drag herself to the provincial city to sue Qiao Zhihai."

Thus, this matter temporarily came to an unresolved end.

Qiao Ye quickly deposited the money into the bankbook and dared not keep it at home anymore.

Fortunately, these incidents did not affect Qi Feng.

At the year’s end and beginning of the new year, Xichuan finally experienced a significant snowfall, dressing the mountains and rivers in a veil of white. This snow did not melt as quickly as usual once the sun came out.

Due to the low temperatures, this snow truly held its ground.

The Zone 5 Laboratory had also installed heating, making the room warm and cozy, with several pots of flowers displayed on the windowsill.

One of the pots was abloom with vibrant azaleas.

In the corner, there was a pot of Soothing Grass, unimpressive to look at, but it subtly filled the room with a faint, comforting fragrance.

At this moment, Qiao Qingyu was sitting in the office, looking at the financial summary for this year, with next year’s planting plans by her side, and standing in front of her was a beautiful young woman. This girl was somewhat special; according to future terms, she was "parachuted in," but since "parachuting" didn’t exist now it’s simply said that she was assigned from above to assist Qiao Qingyu.

She was a top student from Imperial Agricultural University.

"Hello Mr. Qiao, my name is Wang Sisi." The girl, wearing a down jacket and just over 160 centimeters tall, looked very obedient and clever.

She spoke in the same manner.

Qiao Qingyu smiled at her and looked down at the documents in her hands, "Mr. Wang, you are a top scholar from Agricultural University, and you studied in Japan for two years. I heard that the Agricultural Research Institute in Beijing recruited you last year. Although our location is also a research base, you should know that our agricultural base’s establishment still differs from that of a research base. Coming here means you are in the system but temporarily as a contract worker, so I had to clarify this with you in advance."

Wang Sisi quickly replied, "Leader, I knew about the situation here before I came, but that doesn’t mean we should choose a superior place just because of these conditions. I haven’t considered the system, but I believe the field I studied can only be utilized by your side, on this land."

Qiao Qingyu raised her eyebrows, placing the financial reports on the desk, "Let’s go, I’ll take you around the other offices to meet our colleagues here, we have all levels of staff. By the way, have you applied for a dormitory?"

Wang Sisi nodded, "Yes, I have already applied for the dormitory."

Then, glancing at Qiao Qingyu, she spoke in a delicate voice, "I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven." She then giggled, her dimples showing, making her seem especially naive and innocent.

Qiao Qingyu first took Wang Sisi to the finance office to introduce her to Fang Xiaomei and a few other female colleagues, then she took her to meet Wang Laogen and Liu Chengwu.

Qiao Qingyu handed her over to Liu Chengwu, letting him help her familiarize herself with the work at the agricultural base before moving her around the lab. She was the chief in charge and couldn’t do everything herself, so she left the rest to be managed.

The next day was Saturday, and in the afternoon, He Xuerong had already left for school after lunch. He Xiuyu, who was working overtime, had not come back, but unexpectedly, the front door was knocked on.

Qiao Qingyu looked outside, generally, no one visited their home at this time, and if there was something, they’d usually call. If it were He Xiuyu, he wouldn’t knock; only someone from the base would.

However, when she opened the door, she never expected to see Wang Sisi, who had just reported that day.

It was quite unexpected.

The weather was very cold, she stood on the snowy ground, continuously stomping her feet, but with one hand, she held a nylon bag, which contained canned food, pastries, and two bags of large White Rabbit creamy candies.

These items were probably all bought from the store.

She smiled brightly, "I passed by the store during lunch and bought some snacks for Rongrong."

As the visitor claimed she came to see the child, Qiao Qingyu couldn’t really say anything, and after taking over, she warmly said, "Then come inside, it’s a bit cold out here."

Once inside, Wang Sisi quickly scanned the room; in almost the blink of an eye, the layout she saw had already formed an impression in her mind.

Qiao Qingyu poured her some tea, and after Wang Sisi had a sip of the hot tea, she asked Qiao Qingyu, "Doesn’t Chief Engineer He come home for lunch?"

"Hmm, his job doesn’t really have a set schedule."

"Chief Engineer He is truly a great role model for us to learn from, I always hear about him in Beijing, even our professors admire him greatly."

Qiao Qingyu raised her eyebrows, but then suddenly remembered what He Xiuyu had told her a few days ago. Anna had called him saying that two national spies had infiltrated Xichuan planning to strike at both of them, but what specifically they were going to do and how Anna didn’t know.

It just didn’t occur to her how coincidental it was that just two days later, her superiors sent her someone to assist in her work. If another few decades had passed, this person might be called an assistant or special assistant, but at her current level, she didn’t need one.

And to speak the truth, other than the finance office handling accounting, cashiers, and managers, her Agricultural Base didn’t really have positions for people like Wang Laogen and Liu Chengwu outside the laboratories.

Qiao Qingyu thought about whether she should organize job ranks in the future.

Wang Sisi was naturally chatty, and she earnestly said, "Honestly, when they were deciding who to send here to assist, several of us were competing. You might not be aware, but your name is quite well-known at our Agricultural University. Indeed, you are a role model for many of us, and I feel immensely honored to be able to work beside you..."

She really knew how to speak.

There were many articulate people, but it was Qiao Qingyu’s first time encountering someone like Wang Sisi who showered her with so many pleasantries.

She felt that, by normal logic, she should be flattered, but although Qiao Qingyu was not extensively experienced, her background wasn’t something ordinary people could compare to.

For some reason, Qiao Qingyu felt a hint of caution towards this girl.

Logically speaking, her Agricultural Base was quite good, but according to current job-seeking views, Professor Feng’s place was the best choice since it was a formal national position with a shiny, golden rice bowl.

And her place was half-private, the positions were temporary, something she had already mentioned to Wang Sisi, who had accepted quickly.

Either she had some ulterior motives or she was a selfless idealist the kind of good new generation youth who had aspirations to pursue.
