Chapter 532: Chapter 528: The Woman Who Says One Thing and Means Another_3

"Don’t underestimate her; that girl seems to have a point. Given Zhou Ruoruo’s personality, who knows what kind of mess she could create."

Qiao Qingyu, although an advocate of treating people kindly, also knew that one must choose who to treat kindly with discernment.

Because of this matter, Liu Ying repeatedly tried to fool her with deceitful tricks, yet she did not seek vengeance upon Liu Ying. This was already a show of her mercy. One shouldn’t think that having connections meant no one would dare to touch them. With all the flaws that Liu Ying had, it would be too easy to create trouble for her.

Qiao Qingyu could easily think of several ways to bring about Liu Ying’s downfall.

But even hitting a dog required evaluating its owner.

Zhou Hai might be a bit befuddled when it came to family and emotional issues, but he was certainly principled in his work. Even his suggestion to arrange for financial supervision in the Agricultural Group stemmed from his professional perspective.

He wanted to make a name for himself, fully aware that he lacked the ability in research, so he put extra effort into other areas.

Next up, he had ideas about building a large department store, establishing a meat processing plant, expanding the hospital, and even founding a high school on his own.

All these ideas were beneficial and harmless to the employees at the Tenghai Research Base.

Therefore, Qiao Qingyu couldn’t be too harsh on Liu Ying for her underhanded tactics, but she also couldn’t let Liu Ying get too comfortable—that would be letting her off too lightly.

Qiao Qingyu had Secretary Chang look into the situation of Zhou Hai’s ex-wife.

If Liu Ying had a decent character, then her claims about Jiao Jiao’s biological mother would be true. That woman was cruel-hearted, abandoning her two young children to Zhou Hai and not caring or contributing a penny ever since.

Someone like Liu Ge, when afforded the opportunity, was still going all out for He Xuerong, sending things by mail regularly, visiting every three or six months. Despite parting on bad terms with her daughter each time, He Xuerong still held a place in her heart as her daughter.

Not to mention Zhou Hai’s ex-wife had a son and a daughter.

What exactly happened among those three back then was a mystery no one could fathom. Maybe Zhou Hai’s ex-wife detested Zhou Hai’s betrayal and stopped caring for the children as a result. Being stationed abroad, she rarely returned to the country.

That’s why she needed reliable people to find out more for her.

Secretary Chang was the right person for the job.

...

When the new year rolled around, the Logistics Department received another newcomer from Beijing.

This person was named Han Chengfeng.

In his twenties and single, at first glance, one might think he was banished to this remote place, especially since his previous job was quite desirable, working within the department, and he came from a well-connected family.

But Liu Ying knew that Han Chengfeng came for Jiang Xin.

And Jiang Xin, for her part, could not have expected this outcome. After receiving a call from Han Chengfeng, she complained of her hardships somewhat ambiguously as usual. She had no intention for Han Chengfeng to do anything specific; he was just one of her backups—one she’d keep on the hook until she could secure He Xiuyu.

Among the people she knew, only he had decent prospects in various respects, though he couldn’t compare to He Xiuyu.

Yet, Jiang Xin hadn’t expected him to give up such a great job and come here to become the head of the TV Station.

Both the TV Station and Cultural Palace were under the Logistics Department.

If Han Chengfeng had joined the Logistics Department, it might have been passable, but the TV Station...

However, Han Chengfeng was thrilled and looked at Jiang Xin with a heartfelt gaze. If it weren’t for being in the office, he’d have taken her hand to comfort her properly.

His voice was tender, "Xin’er, ever since you moved here, I’ve missed you so much. After getting your call, I made up my mind, no matter what others say, from now on, wherever you are, I’ll be there."

Jiang Xin clenched her hands, which hung by her sides, and a gentle smile spread across her face, "Cheng Feng, you don’t need to say such things. Xichuan isn’t what it used to be. The development of Tenghai Research Base is unstoppable. The department, although good, has very limited room for advancement. With seniority-based ranking, you don’t know where you’ll end up. But here, it’s different. As long as you have the ability, you will achieve great success."

These words made Han Chengfeng’s heart melt. He had not fallen for the wrong person. His family members all reprimanded him when he moved to Tenghai, almost to the point of cutting ties with him.

Moreover, having looked around here, it wasn’t as bad as people from the department said—no man’s land, barren land, desert land. Even if it was so, if his beloved was here, this place was paradise.

He smiled, "Xin’er, you’re at the Cultural Palace, and I’m at the TV Station. Let’s work hard together."

Jiang Xin gave Han Chengfeng an encouraging look, and after a few moments, she nodded slightly.
