Chapter 79: 79 Restless and Fickle

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly lowered her head and wrote a note; don’t blame her for not being calm, this was not a small amount of money, just in their county it was already millions.

She reached out and touched Wei Kaiyun’s waist. He didn’t react, but she didn’t know that the muscles on Wei Kaiyun’s back were tense. She touched twice more, her hand was tightly held by the other party, unable to break free.

She tried again twice, and Wei Kaiyun still didn’t let go.

Jiang Xinyu was anxious inside, what’s wrong with this person? It’s frustrating.

Wei Kaiyun, holding the little girl’s hand, felt it was delicate, soft, no, he had to settle this quickly. This ambiguous situation was uncomfortable.

Jiang Xinyu leaned forward, almost pressed against Wei Kaiyun’s back, "How is it?"

Wei Kaiyun felt goosebumps rising on his neck, this cheeky girl embarrassed him.

He turned his head, his mouth just brushing against Jiang Xinyu’s forehead, "Don’t worry."

Just these two words put Jiang Xinyu’s anxious heart to rest.

She returned to her position, withdrew her hand, and calmly recorded.

Wei Kaiyun felt a bit regretful in his heart, the environment was wrong, what a good opportunity just now?

Their movements naturally couldn’t escape the notice of Qian Jun beside them; he squinted his eyes. Something was off about those two.

The meeting consisted of that leader boasting about foreign situations.

Jiang Xinyu knew somewhat about these things and noticed that he exaggerated many matters.

This meeting lasted four hours, but everyone was quite energetic, hopeful at last, no one doubted.

It was already past one o’clock. Judging by the situation, it would be another hour before the meeting ended.

The secretary had refilled the leaders’ water many times. Jiang Xinyu felt hungry, rubbed her stomach, really couldn’t stand hunger. She took out a candy and popped it into her mouth, offered one to Qian Jun, and nudged Wei Kaiyun again, placing one in his hand.

The three of them each had three candies in total, and finally the meeting ended.

But it wasn’t really over; the battlefield had shifted. The county specially prepared lunch today, much better than their previous treatment, at least they provided food.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the tray and found it quite interesting; it turned out there was a tray like this even now.

Lunch was still quite decent. Although the bread was made of mixed flour, there were vegetables, and they had oil.

The three sat at one table, no one spoke; they just lowered their heads to eat. This was their portion: three buns for the men, two for the women.

Jiang Xinyu had just enough to eat, and instinctively put her extra bun into Wei Kaiyun’s tray.

Qian Jun didn’t look up, thinking, are these two already so familiar?

Wei Kaiyun didn’t look up either; all four buns were gone, and Qian Jun brought over two bowls of vegetable soup. Jiang Xinyu wanted to get up to fetch.

"Secretary Jiang, you sit, I’ll get it."

After the meal was a seminar, not a formal meeting, where any questions could be raised.

Several county leaders were present, as well as a few directors. Everyone’s concerns were almost the same, transportation issues after importing grain.

"Don’t worry, we’ve already spoken with the railway bureau for direct rail transport."

The issues varied, grain types, prices, and supply numbers, etc.

Wei Kaiyun and Tao Juncheng sat together. "Xiao Wei, don’t you have any questions? Didn’t you want to know about cotton?"

Tao Juncheng spoke softly, but since they had been silent from the start, the leader had kept an eye on them.

"Do you two have any questions? I wouldn’t say I have full command of the situation, but I did send someone to investigate."

"Leader, I’ll raise my issues later tonight. Tonight I’ll host; let’s invite everyone for dinner. This is a good thing for the country and the people, everyone needs to know."

"Hmm, who is this?"

"Leader, I am Wei Kaiyun from the textile factory."

"Good, a comrade with ideas. Since Director Wei is so magnanimous, I’ll answer your questions first."

"Secretary Jiang, step out for a moment, Old Yang is here."

"Alright."

Upon hearing that Old Yang was here, Jiang Xinyu knew that Wei Kaiyun had already made arrangements.

She left the city government courtyard, saw Old Yang not far away, his long hair covered his face.

"Xiao Jiang."

"Master Yang."

Jiang Xinyu whispered her suspicions, "Master Yang, although it’s just my guess, the leader’s statements are really exaggerated."

"Hmm, I understand. Are we dining together tonight?"

"Yes, shall I go book a restaurant?"

"Yes, go ahead, it’s not suitable for me to go."

"Alright, I’ll go find Secretary Cao then. Jiang Xinyu was no fool."

She found Secretary Cao and explained the situation, "Secretary Cao, I’m not familiar with the city, our Director Wei wants to treat us to dinner, I don’t know where the restaurant is."

"Secretary Jiang, I’ll accompany you. Now Director Wei has a secretary nearby, whether you are there or not is fine."

Secretary Cao lent Jiang Xinyu a bicycle, they chatted and laughed along the way, growing much closer.

The restaurant manager knew Secretary Cao and was very enthusiastic.

"Rest assured, Secretary Cao, everything will be arranged perfectly tonight. Certainly satisfy the leaders."

"Director Jiang, I’m confident in your work. Today we have provincial leaders."

"Rest assured, rest assured, there’s good stuff too."

Once everything was set, they bicycled back; not far away Jiang Xinyu spotted Old Yang.

Upon returning to the conference room, it was filled with laughter and good spirits.

Jiang Xinyu sat behind Wei Kaiyun, "Director Wei, the restaurant is booked."

"Hmm, how did you go?"

"Secretary Cao was helpful, accompanied me there. If it were just me, I’m afraid I couldn’t have handled this properly."

"Hmm."

Tao Juncheng glanced at Wei Kaiyun’s secretary, just a child, didn’t think much of her.

"Director Wei of the textile factory, any questions? I’ve resolved all the other comrades’ issues."

"Leader, it’s not that we’re selfish, I’m just concerned about cotton, facing a huge gap at our textile factory, lacking cloth everywhere, now we’re like a skilled woman without rice."

"Hmm, I have researched into cotton, found out prices over there are lower than here, but adding transport fee and price, it’s higher. So your costs would be higher, right?"

"Yes, but we understand, having it is already fortunate."

Jiang Xinyu had never seen this side of Wei Kaiyun, what can she say? He was calm and composed.

"Director Wei has foresight, young folks are driven."

"You’re too kind, it’s because we’re pressured, really facing too much burden."

"Then how much do you need, Director Wei?"

"We can likely gather three hundred thousand, to fully stock up, but concerning quality issues?"

"Rest assured on this, I’ll assign people to oversee the quality, there won’t be any oversight."
