Chapter 525: Chapter 525 Inappropriate

Liu Ying bit her lip on the other end of the phone but didn’t press further with her questions. Even her own Old Zhou didn’t allow her to pry too much into the affairs of the Logistics Department, let alone the fact that she was on the phone with He Xiuyu.

Prying too much could make people suspicious, and she wasn’t a spy; she couldn’t afford to mistakenly cast suspicion on herself.

So, Liu Ying changed the subject, "Alright then, work is important. I’ll consider the people you recommended."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Ying told Jiang Xin about the conversation.

Jiang Xin was startled and looked at Liu Ying confusedly, "Although our cooperation wasn’t perfect a few days ago, there weren’t any issues, why would Chief Engineer He disagree?"

Liu Ying spread her hands in helpless frustration, "Who knows..." She seemed to remember something then, somewhat annoyed, she said, "It’s my fault for speaking without thinking. On the day of your first rehearsal, I stopped by after work and saw Qiao Qingyu. I told her you were in the rehearsal room practicing a song and not to wait for He Xiuyu for dinner. I could tell she wasn’t too happy at the time; they probably had a fight after she went home..."

"Did you hear them arguing?" Jiang Xin eagerly inquired, her heart lightening at the thought.

"I didn’t hear that, they were probably arguing under the covers..." Liu Ying covered her mouth and giggled.

Jiang Xin’s face flushed instantly, and she wasn’t quite sure how to feel. But being Jiang Xin, she watched Liu Ying’s dramatics and inwardly sneered, quickly regaining control over her emotions and said with a smile, "I’m not familiar with the base’s situations. For the comrades Chief Engineer He introduced to you, you’d better contact them. There shouldn’t be any problems."

She turned and left Liu Ying’s office after speaking.

Liu Ying’s expression changed, thinking to herself about the affected woman. Don’t think she couldn’t see that in these past days, the other’s face had been brimming with a certain springtime vigor.

It goes to show that only women understand women. Men could never notice unless they really paid attention.

Walking down the corridor, Jiang Xin didn’t feel as composed as she imagined, nor was she overly sad. But she was truly disappointed. These past days she had been fantasizing about what their rehearsals together would be like.

Of course, if He Xiuyu were to easily take a liking to her, she would find it boring and uninteresting; she would miss the thrill of conquest.

So, He Xiuyu’s sudden decision seemed to make sense within expectations.

But there was plenty of time ahead; she was in no rush.

...

The next day, Qiao Qingyu found out about He Xiuyu’s decision.

Although she trusted that a man like He Xiuyu, even if he were to rehearse a performance with Jiang Xin, wouldn’t let anything happen, it was still better to avoid giving offense if possible.

But while in her office, she made a call to her grandfather, asking Wu Xiucai to find a way to purchase a piano. Wu Xiucai happily agreed on the other end.

A small task, just instruct the ever-capable Secretary Chang to handle it.

After putting down the phone, Fang Xiaomei who was present in Qiao Qingyu’s office, heartily agreed, "I’ve been thinking, your house should really have a musical instrument. Rongrong sings so beautifully; she must have exceptional musical talent. Haven’t you seen in the movies and TV shows how those boys and girls play the guitar? So dashing and pretty..."

Qiao Qingyu nodded, it was one way to look at it.

Regarding Rongrong’s education, Qiao Qingyu and He Xiuyu always let nature take its course. The child was very sensitive and didn’t like to be constrained. Besides, He Xiuwen seemed not to like his daughter to sing and dance, so Qiao Qingyu chose to acquiesce.

But if Fang Xiaomei thought so too, then let her think so, to avoid others gossiping.

The more people there are, the worse this aspect gets. If something happens in someone’s family and people learn about it, it almost guarantees that a hundred or a thousand people will know.

Nowadays, people especially like to make social calls. The old ladies in the residential compound would go out of their way to the tube-shaped buildings just to chat.

But no matter what, neighbors had human touch back then.

Not like the future, where you could live opposite someone and go ten years without speaking a word.

...

This day was a Sunday. Han Liuya said to Han Lishi, "I’m stepping out for a bit."

Han Lishi lifted her eyelids and looked at her completely unfamiliar granddaughter, asking faintly, "Where are you going?"

Big Light Point didn’t conceal anything, "My target’s name is Yuan Hengzhi. He will be in this area today. I’ve got some business with him."

A sharp look flashed in Han Lishi’s eyes, but she still warned, "Whatever you do, don’t harm my granddaughter’s body, or else this old woman has ways to make you stay here and never return."

Big Light Point and Little Light Point grinned silently in the consciousness area, really not taking Lady Han’s threat seriously.

Just like that, without a word, they walked out of the courtyard and hurried in the likely direction of Yuan Hengzhi’s appearance.

Han Lishi stood at the doorway with a heavy gaze, thought for a moment, and then turned back inside.

Yuan Hengzhi was here on a special mission, but he didn’t expect to see a skittish girl whom he recognized. He had monitored her once with Director Lin.

Although he didn’t know what she was up to or what she had done before, she had some sort of connection with Qiao Qingyu, so he naturally became a bit more vigilant.

But before he could do anything, he felt darkness before his eyes and his body began to wobble. A guard beside him reached out to steady him, then he heard himself speaking to the guard, "You stay here; I’ve got some things to do over there. Don’t follow me."

However, as he spoke these words, unease stirred within him. It didn’t seem like something he wanted to say, but it had come from his mouth. And indeed, he did have that thought. He wanted to check on Han Liuya – why had she suddenly appeared here? Was it a mere passing through or a coincidence?

Then he found himself standing in front of Han Liuya. Han Liuya reached out and grabbed his hand, "Brother Yuan, let’s go over there. I’ve got something to tell you."

For some strange reason, this tone reminded Yuan Hengzhi of Bai Zhi all of a sudden. But Han Liuya shouldn’t know him, yet there was something inexplicably familiar in her eyes.

Regardless, Yuan Hengzhi calmly shook off her hand yet followed where Han Liuya directed.

They stopped in a corner. Yuan Hengzhi looked at Han Liuya with a stern gaze, fell into silence for a moment, then asked, "How do you know my last name is Yuan? This is our first meeting; isn’t this form of address a bit inappropriate?"

Big Light Point slapped her forehead in annoyance. How had she forgotten that she wasn’t Bai Zhi? She was a stranger to Yuan Hengzhi. And she seemed to have no memory of this person in the original host’s memory.
