The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

At the county town guesthouse, Meng Tang had just finished dressing and hadn't even had time to wash up when Feng Yi grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room.

"Boss, why are you in such a hurry?" Meng Tang looked at Feng Yi with a puzzled expression, noticing his serious demeanor and a hint of tension in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go!" Feng Yi didn't explain much, he just urged.

Meng Tang had no choice but to follow Feng Yi downstairs. When they arrived at the jeep, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss, where are we going?"

Feng Yi glared at him and said coldly, "Turn left ahead. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

Meng Tang shrank back in fright and said no more.

He knew Feng Yi's personality well; if he didn't want to talk, no one could force him.

So he silently got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove forward according to Feng Yi's instructions.

The atmosphere inside the car was unusually tense throughout the journey, and Meng Tang felt his palms sweating.

He would steal a glance at Feng Yi every now and then, but the latter remained expressionless and silent.

About ten minutes later, Feng Yi suddenly said, "Stop the car!"

Meng Tang quickly slammed on the brakes and asked, "Boss, what's the next move? Should we bring our gear?"

Feng Yi glanced at him coldly and replied, "No need, you can stay in the car."

After saying that, he opened the car door and quickly walked into the alley in front of him.

Meng Tang sighed helplessly, muttering to himself, "What on earth is this guy up to? He's so secretive..."

But he knew that Feng Yi must have his reasons for doing this, so he could only sit obediently in the car and wait.

It turned out that this was Happiness Lane. As soon as Feng Yi entered, he saw several middle-aged women chatting together, looking very relaxed.

Feng Yi walked over and said with a smile, "Hello, ladies. May I ask if Mr. and Mrs. Tong Yanghong live here?"

One of the older women asked curiously, "Looking for Tong Yang? Are you a relative of his?"

Feng Yi was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Auntie, I'm not a relative of theirs. I'm Tong Yang's daughter's godfather!"

The older woman looked Feng Yi up and down, her eyes filled with surprise and curiosity. "I've heard that Tong Yang's wife found a godmother for her youngest daughter. She's a sent-down youth, and I think she's not married yet!"

As she spoke, she looked at Feng Yi with suspicion, as if trying to see some guilt on his face.

"Auntie, she's my girlfriend, I'm here to see her!"

The older woman still didn't quite believe it, and asked with a frown, "What's your boyfriend's name?"

“Xin Yi!” Feng Yi answered without hesitation.

The older woman turned to the other women beside her and asked in confusion, "Is that the name?"

“I think I heard her name is Xin something… Hmm, it should be true!” one of the older women said thoughtfully.

"Okay, then just walk to the end of this alley, then look to your left, their house is on the second floor!"

The auntie finally felt relieved and pointed out the direction to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi nodded politely, then habitually gave a standard military salute before turning and walking into the alley.

Watching his departing figure, the group of middle-aged women suddenly realized that Feng Yi was actually a soldier!

They couldn't help but feel a little guilty, realizing that they might have overthought things and developed unnecessary suspicions about the soldiers.

The women all said that when they meet Feng Yi again, they must apologize to this soldier and express their apologies and respect.

Following the aunt's directions, Feng Yi arrived at the second floor of the tenement building on the left, stood in front of the door, and gently knocked.

"Is Tong Yang home?"

Footsteps came from inside, and then the door opened. Aunt Qin opened the door, holding a baby in her arms. When she saw that it was Feng Yi, she greeted him warmly: "It's Comrade Feng, please come in, please come in."

Feng Yi walked into the house and greeted Aunt Qin with a smile: "Hello, Aunt Qin. I just happened to be passing by today, so I came in to take a look."

Aunt Qin invited Feng Yi to sit on the sofa, then poured him a glass of water. "Comrade Feng, please have some water first."

Feng Yi took the water glass, thanked her, and his gaze fell on the child in Aunt Qin's arms. "This must be Zhenzhen, right?"

Aunt Qin nodded and smiled happily, "Yes, she is Zhenzhen. Come here, Zhenzhen, call him godfather."

As he spoke, he picked up Tong Zhenzhen and sat down next to Feng Yi, teaching her to greet people.

Tong Zhenzhen looked at Feng Yi, blinked, and suddenly grinned.

A warm feeling welled up in Feng Yi's heart, and a smile appeared on his face. He reached out and touched Tong Zhenzhen's little face, "So good."

At this moment, Feng Yicai realized that as the godfather, he had forgotten to buy a gift on his first visit, which was somewhat impolite.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Aunt Qin, I came in such a hurry this time that I forgot to buy a gift. I'm so sorry."

Aunt Qin quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Comrade Feng, you're too kind. We're all family, no need to be so formal. Besides, we're already very happy that you came."

Feng Yi still felt a little guilty. He thought for a moment, took out some money from his pocket, about fifty or sixty yuan, and handed it to Aunt Qin. "Aunt Qin, take this money and buy something for the two children."

Aunt Qin quickly declined, "No, no, Comrade Feng, we can't take your money."

Feng Yi insisted on putting the money into Aunt Qin's hand, saying, "Aunt Qin, this is a small token of my appreciation, you must accept it."

Aunt Qin couldn't refuse, so she accepted the money, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Comrade Feng, then I'll thank you on behalf of my two children."

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Aunt Qin, please don't say that. As the child's godfather, I was just doing what I should do. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

"My two grandsons were able to be born safely thanks to your and Yiyi's help. Don't be so formal. I just don't know when Yiyi will be able to come again!"

Aunt Qin seemed to really like Xin Yi; the care and affection in her eyes were impossible to ignore.

However, when Feng Yi heard Aunt Qin mention Xin Yi, his feelings became complicated.

"Aunt Qin, do you mean Yiyi didn't come to see you?" Feng Yi's voice carried a hint of urgency and worry.

Aunt Qin looked at Feng Yi and asked in confusion, "Yiyi only went back for a short time, how could she be back so soon?"

Feng Yi frowned, pondering to himself. He had originally thought that Xin Yi would come to see Aunt Qin, but now that he knew she hadn't, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Aunt Qin noticed the change in Feng Yi's expression and said with a smile, "That's true, you two just started dating, it feels like three autumns have passed since you last saw each other!"

Feng Yi's ears burned slightly. He realized that his reaction was a bit too obvious, but he didn't care because he was more worried about Xin Yi's whereabouts.

"Aunt Qin, I'm just here on business in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by to get acquainted with the place. I'll come back with a gift for a more formal visit next time!"

Feng Yi tried his best to keep his tone calm, but his inner anxiety was hard to hide.
