Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

With a creak, He Xi opened the door and hurried out, glancing at the people outside: "Why didn't anyone wake me up? I'm going to be late again."

While speaking, He Xi caught a glimpse of the snowman in the courtyard from the corner of her eye, which was not there last night.

The two snowmen are holding hands. They are tall and big, with snow-white appearance, round heads and round bodies. They look clumsy and cute.

He Fei was holding what was probably the smallest carrot in the house to make a nose for the snowman. He's mother stared at her actions viciously. Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan contributed their hats and scarves respectively to add vitality to the snowman.

"Sorry, I forgot to check the time."

"Like it?"

Knowing that He Xi likes snowmen, but she can’t make one well and gets impatient when playing with them, Lu Jinan got up early today, hoping to finish it before she goes to work so that she can see the snowman before leaving.

Why did she have to angrily say to him: "It's not good to be late all the time. After what happened last time, other people will only pay more attention to me."

Lu Jinan lowered his posture and said, "Just once, I want you to see the snowman before you leave."

He Xi's face turned red instantly, she glared at him, turned back to the room and started washing up.

Due to the heavy snow, He Xi did not ride the bicycle back. Instead, she took a ride on a wooden snow shovel on the village road. Before getting on the shovel, Lu Jinan adjusted He Xi's hat and checked her scarf and gloves like a young wife.

His dark eyes looked at He Xi for several seconds, then looked away, then looked at her for several seconds again, repeating this several times.

He hadn't been able to see He Xi for nearly five days, so he wanted to see her more often.

He Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while the others laughed out loud and advised He Xi: "Marry her as soon as possible." "If not, you should get married as soon as possible." "Only the two of you can tolerate each other, so hurry up and get married so we can have a drink at the wedding."

He Xi pursed her lips and decided to come back and settle the matter with Lu Jinan.

"Await your return."

"Get lost."

In the town government compound, not many people know He Xi, but the number of people who know that He Xi has a background has increased exponentially.

Some were happy and some were worried. Apart from anything else, the fact that she made Xiaokang Town famous was enough for them to brag about in front of other towns for a year.

"Good morning, Technician He." The old man at the door was nicer in attitude than before.

Deputy Director Zhang of the Ministry of Agriculture, who was wearing glasses, was late for work just like He Xi. He said sarcastically, "It's different when you become famous. You're often late for work."

He Xi replied: "You are not late? You might as well run a few steps to save your image in everyone's mind."

"Hmph." Deputy Director Zhang walked away in a huff.

The person in charge of population and fertility met He Xi and said to her enthusiastically, "When are you going to get married? Don't keep him hanging. This is for you. Don't tell anyone about it."

He Xi was puzzled as she opened the paper package she gave her. Wow, it was a box of condoms. Only acquaintances would give so many. Usually, they would only give so many to one or two people after promotion and explanation.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had received this. She felt so ashamed that her face was burning with shame. She quickly rewrapped the paper package and looked around to see if there was anyone around. She found a girl in blue clothes walking towards her.

A feeling of shame instantly spread throughout my body. Where should I put this hot potato?

He Xi's fair little face was full of panic. Fortunately, the girl was just passing by. She breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She was scared to death.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. We all have to go through it. When are you getting married? Remember to send wedding candies to our hospital." She had already walked over and turned back to say this to He Xi.

He Xi’s eyes widened, thinking that she saw it all, with a vision of 5.0?

As soon as He Xi's butt touched the chair, Director Sun sent someone to call him to his office, saying that there was something urgent.

This time, He Xi was not served tea. He looked serious and said, "Xiao Xi, the town did not handle this rumor very well. I hope you don't take it too seriously. I will definitely give you an explanation. At the same time, I hope we can handle this matter behind closed doors."

The curve of He Xi's lips disappeared: "Okay, I'll wait for justice from our hospital."

Just as she left the director's office and before she even reached her own office, someone else came and said Director Guo wanted to see her.

Director Guo was the one who stopped He Xi from calling the police and was in charge of party conduct and discipline.

Director Guo skipped the small talk and got straight to the point: "Technician He's background should not be underestimated."

He Xi frowned: "Director Guo, that's not true. I have been doing what you said and silently enduring the storm of rumors."

Director Guo's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Indeed, I asked you to do this. Since you agreed, why did you report this to the higher-ups?"

He Xi sneered: "Who? Me? I have been holding back until the trade fair in Harbin. You ask me?"

He simply dropped all his disguises and asked rhetorically, "If it's not you, then who is it? I'm going to lose my job."

He Xi stared at him: "Are you anxious about this? Weren't you quite calm before?"

"You did it?"

He Xi spread his hands and said, "Please, I don't even know what it is, what can I do."

But judging from his expression, it seems that the rumor has directly threatened his current position. Who could it be? Ning Ci? Or has Lu Jinan done something else?

His face was gloomy: "What do you want?"

"Of course it's business as usual, plus fairness."

"What a businesslike thing to do. What good will it do you if I step down?"

He Xi thought about it seriously and said, "It doesn't seem to be any good, but you're not a good person either, so it's a good idea to go down."

"You...? Have you ever lost anything important?"

Hearing his words, He Xi suddenly laughed. He was threatening her. She said calmly, "Yes, I have nothing now."

Changing the subject, He Xi's tone sounded a bit annoying: "Because you live such a comfortable life, you have things that are hard to give up. To put it bluntly, you are just greedy, but I am different. I have nothing."

She spoke the last four words again word by word, and felt her tense nerves suddenly relax.

When it was time to get off work, the whole compound was buzzing with rumors about He Xi's background.

He Xi sneered. With such a background and still working, she should definitely lie down.
