A powerful country in scientific research

Government building staff quarters.

When Su Ran returned home, it was already late. Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Jiang Hongmei was folding clothes on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Su Ran come in, she smiled and asked, "Where did you go today? Why did you come back so late?"

The Su family knew about the class reunion, so they were not worried about Su Ran coming back so late. They hadn't seen their classmates for a long time, so it was understandable that they would spend more time together. Besides, He Cheng was also at the reunion today, so with He Cheng there, they naturally didn't need to worry.

Su Ran took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He did not answer Jiang Hongmei directly, but asked, "Mom, grandma, where is grandpa?"

Jiang Hongmei pointed to the kitchen and said, "Cooking."

"Where's Xiaolei?"

"It's in the bedroom upstairs, right? What happened? You started looking for someone as soon as you came back." Jiang Hongmei asked with a smile.

Su Ran curled his lips and walked over to sit next to Jiang Hongmei.

"There is something, Mom. Come over here and sit down. I'll tell you."

Jiang Hongmei didn't know what her daughter was going to say, but since her daughter said so, she just sat down obediently.

"Before I tell you, Mom, you have to promise me not to tell anyone else, not even grandma and grandpa." Su Ran lowered her voice as if she was afraid that others would hear.

Jiang Hongmei felt a little flustered when she saw her daughter's serious expression. Her daughter always took everything lightly and was cheerful every day. Suddenly she looked so serious, something must have happened.

"Ranran, what's wrong with you? Is there something bad? Or did something happen to you today?" Jiang Hongmei asked anxiously.

Seeing her mother's anxious look, Su Ran didn't beat around the bush and directly told her in detail about the poisoning at today's class reunion.

Jiang Hongmei was terrified when she heard this. If Su Ran hadn't been sitting right in front of her, she would have cried. But her eyes were indeed slightly moist now.

Without her knowing, her daughter almost left this world completely. How could she accept this?

"Have you found the murderer?"

Su Ran shook her head. "Not so fast, Mom, don't be sad, I'm fine now!"

"You found out, you're fine. What if you didn't find out? Ranran, why don't we just quit? You see, wasn't it good for our family to work honestly before?"

Jiang Hongmei felt a little guilty when she finished speaking the following words. Before she and Su Jianguo divorced, they lived in the staff quarters of the food factory. There were two workers in the family, she and Su Jianguo, raising two children, Su Ran and Su Lei. In addition to whether they were subsidizing the Su family, they actually lived a tight life. They lived in a tube-shaped building and ate only vegetarian food. They could only eat meat once a week. It was nothing compared to the small western-style building and the life of eating meat every day. But in Jiang Hongmei's view, these external living conditions were not as important as Su Ran. As long as her daughter was safe and sound, it didn't matter if she lived in a tube-shaped building and ate vegetarian food every day!

Seeing her mother a little agitated, Su Ran comforted her, "Mom, if you are not envied, you are mediocre. The more they do this, the more it proves how great I am. Your daughter is so outstanding, can you bear to see me unable to realize my ambitions and live a mediocre life? Besides, the country has always sent people to protect me. The man in dark gray clothes you met before is from the National Security Bureau and is very skilled. In addition to him, there are six or seven people protecting me, so even if I am targeted, it's okay, I have someone to protect me."

Jiang Hongmei felt very conflicted after listening to Su Ran's words.

Jiang Hongmei naturally knew that her daughter had great ambitions, but if great ambitions meant danger, should she stop her daughter?

Seeing that her mother still didn't give in, Su Ran continued, "Mom, my job is different from others. To be frank, I am changing our country and this era because everyone's life is getting better and better, and life is becoming more convenient and comfortable. In just two years, everyone's life has not been turned upside down, but it has also gone up several levels. Comrade Jiang Hongmei, your daughter's job is not an ordinary job. People say that with great ability comes great responsibility. I like this responsibility very much. Seeing everyone getting better and better, I am very happy. So mom, Comrade Jiang Hongmei, I hope you can support me."

Jiang Hongmei looked at her daughter with slightly red eyes, and she had to admit that she was persuaded by her daughter.

Her daughter is indeed not an ordinary person. Everyone wants their sons and daughters to be successful. Her daughter is so capable, she cannot be the one who hinders her progress.

"My daughter, I can agree that you can continue to do this, but you also have to promise me to protect yourself and not let this happen again."

Su Ran nodded heavily, "Mom, don't worry, I promise you, I will be fine."

To ease the atmosphere, she joked, "Your daughter never did what she said to you that time~ Comrade Jiang Hongmei, you can rest assured~"

Seeing her daughter's proud look, Jiang Hongmei couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"So what should we do about today's incident? Has the murderer been caught?"

Su Ran shook his head. "How can it be that fast? It just happened at noon. It will probably take a few days to find out the result."

Jiang Hongmei frowned, "Of course, before we catch the murderer, don't go to the factory. There are too many people outside, what if something happens again?"

Su Ran had no objection to her mother's suggestion. "I thought so too. I'll stay at home for the next few days."

Jiang Hongmei felt more relieved, "Okay! Aren't we going to tell your grandparents about this?"

Su Ran shook her head. "I won't tell them. They are old now. I am afraid they will think about it every day. Xiao Lei is not careful, so I won't tell him. I will tell them after I get the result."

Jiang Hongmei nodded. It was indeed true. Her parents were old. If they knew about this, they would probably be so worried that they couldn't sleep. So she should just listen to her daughter!

After adjusting her mood, Jiang Hongmei and her daughter started chatting about her new project. When they were chatting lively, Grandma Jiang came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.

"Oh, Ranran is back. That's great. Go wash your hands. We're about to have dinner." Grandma Jiang said with a smile.

Su Ran said "eh".

Grandma Jiang noticed that Jiang Hongmei's eyes were a little red and swollen. She frowned and asked, "Hongmei, are you crying?"

Two words suddenly flashed through Jiang Hongmei's mind, "It's over!"

How come her eyesight is so good! She can notice it from such a distance.

Jiang Hongmei, who had always been upright, really would not lie. She sat there stiffly, her brain working rapidly.

What excuse should she make?

Su Ran saw her mother's embarrassment and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Just now a small flying insect flew into my mother's eyes from somewhere in the house, and I just blew it away."

After saying this, Su Ran realized that there was a bug in what he said.

Never mind, she's not good at lying, so let it be

o (╥﹏╥) o

Jiang Hongmei: ...

Grandma Jiang: ...

Grandma Jiang: "Where do these little flying insects come from in the middle of winter?"

Su Ran chuckled, "How would I know? It might be in the banana. Oh, come on, Mom, let's go wash our hands and eat."

Jiang Hongmei quickly got up and followed her daughter to the bathroom.

Anyway, my daughter has already given the excuse, and her mother trusts her eldest granddaughter so much, she probably won’t ask again!

Very good ~ Successfully got through ~

At the same time, the Chen family.

After parting with Su Ran, He Cheng went back to his uncle's house. When he came back, only his aunt and Aunt Zhang were at home. His aunt said that his uncle was called away temporarily, and He Cheng thought it was because of the incident at the state-owned restaurant in the afternoon.

Since his uncle hasn't come back yet, he should call the factory first.

He didn't know if there was anyone in the factory at this time. If no one was there, he could only try the phone number in the brigade office.

The brigade office was going to look for Captain Li Wei, but He Cheng didn't like to trouble others, so he chose to call the factory office first.

After the broadcast, the call was transferred by the operator and He Cheng waited quietly for the call to be answered.

"Ding... Ding... Ding..." Just when He Cheng was disappointed and about to hang up the phone, a man's voice came from the other end.

"Hello, this is the Qinghe Oil Pressing Factory."
