Ten minutes later, Ke Ning came back to report.

"Mr. Huo, Miss Chi is on the plane to Qingcheng."

Huo Yunting frowned and said coldly: "What is she doing in Qingcheng?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Understood, you go out first."

……

As soon as Chi Muzhen got off the plane, she received a call from Zhen Yan.

"Zhen Zhen, have you forgotten that you want to accompany me to have dinner with Liang Zixuan?"

Zhen Yan went to attend an event yesterday. It was too late at night, so she went straight to a hotel to stay.

Now when I returned to the villa, I saw the note Chi Muzhen left for me and realized that she was on a business trip.

Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Zhen Yan had indeed told her about such a thing before.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry. I've been too busy these past two days, so I forgot about it. I'm on a business trip to Qingcheng now. When I get back, can I treat you to a meal to apologize?"

"It's okay. I originally planned to ask him to dinner tonight. Since you are on a business trip, I will wait until you come back before making an appointment. Please pay attention to safety outside and call me anytime if anything happens."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen took Xu Qing and Bai Ruru out of the airport.

Outside the airport, a middle-aged man held a sign with Chi Muzhen's name written on it.

He was wearing a gray jacket that had started to turn white after washing, and a pair of military green canvas shoes on his feet. Although they were worn out, they were better than clean.

Chi Muzhen saw the sign with her name on it and walked quickly towards him.

"Hello, are you Village Chief Chen?"

Chen Wen nodded quickly and put down the sign he was holding.

"Is it Miss Chi?"

"Well, hello, Village Chief Chen."

"Hello, the car that picks you up is parked at the door. Let's go back first."

While speaking, he reached out and took Chi Muzhen's luggage, "I'll take it."

"No, I can do it myself."

What came to pick them up was an old-fashioned van that looked dilapidated, as if it was about to fall apart at any time.

Xu Qing and Bai Ruru looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Didn't they come to see the fabric factory? Is the owner of this fabric factory so poor?

The expression on Chi Muzhen's face did not change at all. After putting down the luggage with the two of them, she got in the car and chatted with Chen Wen.

On the way back, Chi Muzhen had basically understood the situation in Shili Village.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village. Chen Wen looked at Chi Muzhen with some embarrassment and said: "Miss Chi, I'm sorry, the car in our village can't get up, so we need to walk up."

Chi Muzhen nodded, "Okay."

She took down her luggage, looked at Bai Ruru and said, "Can you leave?"

Bai Ruru wore a pair of high heels today, so it might be inconvenient to walk on the village road.

"Okay, I brought flat shoes."

She took out her flat shoes from her suitcase and put them on, dragging her suitcase behind Chi Muzhen.

Chen Wenwen originally wanted to help Chi Muzhen carry the suitcase, but she refused, "Village Chief Chen, help her carry it, I can do it myself."

Seeing that Chi Muzhen looked relaxed and didn't seem to be polite to him, Chen Wen nodded and said, "Okay."

He turned around and walked to Bai Ruru, "Miss Bai, let me help you get your suitcase."

Bai Ruru was really struggling, so she handed the suitcase to Chen Wen without any courtesy.

"Excuse me, Village Chief Chen."

Chen Wen smiled honestly, "No trouble."

It was already half an hour after they arrived at their destination. Xu Qing and Bai Ruru were covered in sweat and looked a little embarrassed. On the other hand, Chi Muzhen was breathing steadily and showed no signs of having climbed the mountain for half an hour. .

After putting down Bai Ruru's suitcase, Chen Wen looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Miss Chi, this is the accommodation prepared for you in our village for the past few days. It is a bit shabby. I hope you won't dislike it."

Chi Muzhen nodded, "Well, thank you, Village Chief Chen. By the way, how do we solve our daily food problem?"

"You can eat at my house. You have a rest today. I will bring you lunch later. Starting tomorrow, I will take you to visit the fabric factory in the village."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Village Chief Chen."

"It's not hard. I'll go back first. If you have any questions, call me anytime."

"Ok."

After Chen Wen left, Chi Muzhen took a look at the house in front of her. It was an old-fashioned house with mud walls. As she walked along, Chi Muzhen knew that this was the best house in their village.

From the moment Bai Ruru knew that this was where they would stay for the next week, she couldn't help but feel disgust in her eyes.

She has never seen such a dilapidated house. Can anyone live in it?

"Mr. Chi, how do you live here?"

Chi Muzhen looked back and said calmly: "I just looked and there are three rooms, one for each of us."

Bai Ruru frowned, her expression full of dissatisfaction, "That's not what I meant. I can't live in such a house!"

"What do you want?"

"If I want to find a hotel, I should at least have a place to take a shower, right?!"

If she had known that the conditions in the place where she was traveling were so bad, she would have pretended to be sick yesterday.

"Secretary Bai, you seem to have made a mistake. We are here for a business trip, not for enjoyment!"

Bai Ruru bit her lower lip and said angrily: "Anyway, I can't live in such a house for a day. If you insist on forcing me, Mr. Chi, I will have no choice but to resign!"

"what ever."

After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and dragged her luggage into the room.

Bai Ruru gritted her teeth angrily, but she was unfamiliar with this place and she didn't know who to look for even if she wanted to leave now.

Xu Qing, who was on the side, saw her embarrassment and said, "Ruru, you're here already. Just bite the bullet and endure this week. Even if you really plan to resign, you have to wait until you return to Chengdu."

Under Xu Qing's persuasion, Bai Ruru reluctantly said: "Okay, I will resign immediately as soon as I return to Chengdu. I am here to be a secretary, not to suffer this kind of hardship!"

When Bai Ruru dragged her suitcase into the living room, Chi Muzhen had already made the bed.

When she saw Bai Ruru, her expression was calm, and there was neither anger nor happiness in her eyes that Bai Ruru agreed to stay.

Xu Qing noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two and said quickly: "Mr. Chi, Ruru already knows that she was wrong. Don't take what happened just now to your heart."

Chi Muzhen looked calm, "I don't take it to heart. It's just a job. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. It's that simple."

Bai Ruru's face was a little confused, and her eyes were filled with grievances.

Xu Qing was afraid that Bai Ruru would quarrel with Chi Muzhen again, so she quickly said: "Ruru, you go and choose a room. Just leave the rest to me."

"Ah."

After Bai Ruru picked the room, the two of them went to put their suitcases.

By the time the two of them finished packing and walked out of the room, Chen Wen had already delivered the food.

"Ms. Chi, I'm sorry, but we don't have anything good to entertain you in the countryside. I hope you won't dislike it."

Bai Ruru glanced at the food on the table, a braised chicken, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of fried vegetables, and a vegetable and meatball soup.

It's really rudimentary.

Chi Muzhen shook her head and said, "It's already very rich. You don't have to do so much in the future. Just fry us two vegetables. Do you grow all the vegetables in your village yourself?"
