Why did your nephew's wife come to stay with you?

"Does the regimental commander still remember the factory that my wife reported to the army commander before?"

"Yes, I remember!"

"By the way, how's the factory doing?"

"We're laying off a group of people this fall; could you arrange for a few of them to be sent in?"

Gu Yanli shook his head. "I don't know. I'll ask for you later."

Chen Kang nodded and asked again, "Is she really your nephew's wife?"

"Yes, the other one is my eldest sister."

"This is all a misunderstanding. Alright, go ahead and get back to work. I'll tell the staff to stop spreading rumors."

"Ok!"

After leaving Chen Kang's place, Gu Yanli returned to his residence. When he opened the door, Gu Jinfeng was playing with Jiajia on the balcony.

Upon seeing Gu Yanli return, Gu Jinfeng immediately came over from the balcony carrying the child, asking, "Why are you back now?"

Gu Yanli looked at his eldest sister who was holding her granddaughter.

Jiajia saw her great-uncle and happily opened her arms for a hug.

Gu Yanli then took the child from her and asked his older sister, "Why don't you take the child down for a walk?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to tease Jiajia, "Always staying cooped up in the room, the child gets bored."

Gu Yanli thought that if his older sister had come downstairs these past few days, the gossip about him would definitely not have spread so wildly.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Jinfeng glanced at him, patted her chest, and said, "Yanli, to be honest, what happened that day really scared my older sister to death!"

"I really don't dare to go out alone with the child now!"

Gu Yanli reassured her, "Don't worry, children can get lost anywhere else, but they won't get lost here. You can take Jiajia out for a walk in peace!"

“There are many people outside, you can talk to them, and there are also children playing with Jiajia.”

the most important is……

"If anyone asks you who you are to me when you go out, you must tell them the truth: you are my eldest sister, Chi Yue is my nephew's wife, and you are here on business."

Gu Jinfeng "..."

Gu Yanli's expression softened slightly. "They all say I'm not a decent person, that I have a family outside of my home, and that Wen Tang is my mistress."

Gu Yanli: /(tot)/~~

Who could possibly share his heartache!

Gu Jinfeng was stunned after hearing this.

"This……"

"Is there such a big misunderstanding?"

Gu Yanli nodded solemnly.

"Then...then I'll take the child downstairs!"

"Ok!"

Even more effective than Chen Kang's explanation was Gu Jinfeng sitting downstairs with her child all day.

Actually, you don't need a whole day, half a day is enough.

Within half a day, everyone knew that Gu Jinfeng was the older sister and Chi Yue was her nephew's wife.

I also learned that Lin Jingshen, this nephew, got married on the same day as his uncle, Gu Yanli.

They got married on the same day, and this nephew is about to have two children, while the uncle...

Gu Yanli then faced new troubles.

His comrades began to care about his health, offered him good advice, and suggested that he should bring his wife to live with him in the army.

"It's better to have children while you're young, you can have two or more," Shen Bangguo advised.

Gu Yanli “…”

"Go back and talk to the political commissar, and he'll let you sit in his seat!"

"You can't just say that!" Shen Bangguo wished he could cover his mouth.

Gu Yanli replied matter-of-factly, "You're more suitable than the political commissar."

Then the political commissar also showed concern for him, saying, "Little Gu, I know a military doctor who's always flying around performing surgeries. He's incredibly skilled. I..."

Gu Yanli, his face devoid of any outward expression, said, "Political Commissar, I think I'm actually in pretty good health. (Tears streaming down his face through his sunglasses/jpg)"

The political commissar, seeing his expression after being interrupted, decided to be more tactful, saying, "Everyone knows your capabilities..."

Gu Yanli (wiping away the tears of humiliation streaming down his face) remained defiant, "It's good that the political commissar knows!"

political commissar"……"

How can someone be so stubborn!

In Wentang, after accompanying the county leaders on their bumpy journey to the neighboring province, they stayed at a guesthouse that night, and the next day someone led them to a meeting room of the local government.

In this era of scarce resources, even a government bidding process can turn into a makeshift affair.

Wen Tang got up early, got dressed, tied her hair, put on makeup (darkening her face a bit), and then followed the leader into the conference room with high spirits.

When Wen Tang arrived at the conference room, she realized that she was being far too energetic.

She was well-prepared, but perhaps too well-prepared.

Including them, there were a total of three companies bidding for the project.

She also prepared a bid document, while others only wrote down the price and output on two pages.

Wen Tang: You've prepared too thoroughly.

She was too embarrassed to take it out, as if she were a conspicuous treasure.

Others haven't even brought their soap yet, but she brought it all with her.

Her thorough preparation certainly drew attention from those present.

Wen Tang stood up straight, his eyes looking down at his nose, and his nose looking down at his mouth.

The items were handed over to the other party, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, the local leaders left.

They also started to walk out.

But halfway there, the county leader said, "Xiao Wen, come on, let's go to the restroom."

Wen Tang "..."

"lead……"

There were three people in their group: a man, a woman, and her.

The person who called her to go to the toilet was a male leader.

Wen Tang thought it was probably inappropriate for them to go to the toilet together!

But before Wen Tang could speak, another woman grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go!"

Wen Tang was taken away just like that.

But we couldn't find a toilet at all, because we stopped after turning a corner.

The other two companies didn't leave either.

One of them had already reached the door when he turned back and said, "I think I forgot my pen there." Then the people with him went back with him to look for it.

The others, seeing the group turn around, also stopped at the doorway, took out cigarettes from their pockets, and started smoking outside.

The county leader then asked Wen Tang, "What was your quote?"

"Soap starts at 17 cents if it costs 10,000 dollars, and soapberry soap costs 13 cents..."

"Soap is 18 cents, soapberry soap is 15 cents."

"what?"

Looking at Wen Tang's youthful face, the other party told her the truth: "This is the price on the receipt; the actual price is as you say."

Do you understand?

Wen Tang nodded.

I understand. I've explained it so clearly. If she still doesn't understand, she's a complete idiot.

"We'll go over after they leave."

“Your soap is good. At this price, we can secure this order.”

"Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to choose our small workshop in this county town."

"Then they..."

"That's basically all they can offer; they don't have as many kinds of soap as you do."

Wen Tang nodded, "Thank you for your guidance, leader."

The other person looked relieved and said, "It's good that you're sensible."

Sure enough, the person who went back to look for the item came out shortly afterward, and the group of smokers also turned back after the person left.

After they came out, Wen Tang and the others went back.

The leader led them to an office, smiling ingratiatingly, "Director, would you like to have lunch together sometime?"

The other person picked up their teacup and said, "No, I have other things to do."

The county leader handed over a piece of paper and said, "Director, take a look. It seems like we wrote the wrong price for Xiao Wen."
