Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 495: 495 Wedding Banquets

”Yes, it’s really not easy for Xiao Wei either.”

Since Jiang Xinyu was present, the conversation at the table remained quite civilized.

The table where they sat had the only female comrade, which was quite intriguing to the Gao Ruyun’s family table.

When Gao Ruyun came to propose a toast, her elder brother Gao Xiang couldn’t help but ask, ”Xiao Yun, who is that female comrade at the table?”

Gao Ruyun knew that her brother was already twenty-five and still hadn’t found a wife. Now, he was stuck in a situation where neither high nor low prospects worked out.

In other words, he wouldn’t consider someone who wasn’t a formal employee, didn’t look good, or came from a poor family.

The Gao Family’s conditions were still okay, but Gao Xiang looked average, was average in height, and worked by piece rates at the cement factory, so truly qualified girls would never fancy Gao Xiang.

”She’s the Vice Factory Director of the textile factory.”

”Such a young Vice Factory Director?” The Gao family was quite surprised.

Qian Jun was a bit displeased on the side. Did such a person still dare to fancy Jiang Xinyu? Really ignorant of one’s place.

”Exactly. Vice Factory Director Jiang is very capable, and she’s also a college graduate.”

At this point, Gao Xiang stared at Jiang Xinyu without blinking.

Qian Jun just nodded and then left. He really looked down upon the Gao family, and he didn’t particularly value Gao Ruyun either, but just thought she was young and pretty—this girl knew how to please him.

Gao Ruyun could feelingly tell that Qian Jun was unhappy, and she was also displeased.

Upon hearing that Jiang Xinyu was the Vice Factory Director of the textile factory, the Gao family members’ eyes lit up. It wasn’t because she was extremely beautiful, but because she was capable. If she could become family, having a daughter-in-law who was a Vice Factory Director would be quite prestigious.

”Xiao Yun, help introduce her to your brother,” Mrs. Gao looked at her daughter expectantly.

”What are you thinking? Don’t have such ideas in the future.”

”Why? Now that you’ve made it, you’re not willing to pull the family along?”

”If you have the capability, then approach her yourselves.” After speaking, Gao Ruyun turned and left.

She went hurriedly to find Qian Jun and stood beside him, whispering, ”I’m sorry.”

Qian Jun remained silent. If this incident were to escalate, Jiang Xinyu definitely wouldn’t tolerate it given her temper, and that would bring disgrace to everyone.

”I didn’t know they would do this.”

”It’s good that you understand yourself.” Qian Jun didn’t know what else to say; such people were troublesome.

Jiang Xinyu and Wei Kaiyun didn’t feel right about finishing their meal too quickly. With so many people around, putting down their chopsticks first would be too impolite.

”Xiao Jiang, eat more,” Sun Baosheng said with a cheerful smile, treating Jiang Xinyu truly like a younger generation.

”I’ve eaten quite a lot.”

While everyone was still eating, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the front door, which sounded particularly uncomfortable.

Qian Jun frowned and went to open the door. The noise was already considered disturbing; what urgent matter warranted such a knock?

”Open up, Revolutionary Committee.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Jun’s anger reached its peak.

He opened the door, expressionless, looking at the seven or eight people outside.

”What’s the matter?”

”Someone reported that you were being extravagant.”

Wang Dajiang, who was at the back today, was delighted. He feared that Kong Demin wouldn’t self-sabotage; now it was happening, though he wasn’t sure if Kong could handle it.

”Today is my wedding, a day of great joy. What extravagance is there?”

”We need to inspect it.”

A group of people hustled in. Everyone in the courtyard put down their chopsticks.

Aside from the Gao family, the people here were among the top in the county and had never encountered such a situation.

Qian Jun watched them without speaking further, realizing it was pointless to argue since they were there to cause trouble.

Wang Dajiang came in last and took a look. Apart from the festive characters pasted on the windows, there was nothing else. The dishes on the table were indeed good, but not to the point of being wasteful.

However, this was considered a life unattainable by ordinary people.

These people barged into Qian Jun’s room like bandits. Inside were just ordinary wedding items, nothing special.

After making a round and finding nothing, they weren’t foolish enough to flip through anything. They just took a broad look around.

”Captain, nothing was found.”

Wang Dajiang was smiling all along, but his smile was more irritating than a frown, making one want to smack him.

”Mr. Qian, we apologize. We had to come because of the report and orders from above, and we’re truly sorry for the disruption.”

The implication was that if there was an issue, it should be taken up with higher-ups, and had nothing to do with them as little underlings.

”Is there anything else?” Qian Jun asked, holding back his anger.

”No, no, congratulations on your wedding, Mr. Qian; we won’t disturb you any longer.”

Although there was nothing substantial, everyone’s mood was affected.

Everyone here was a friend of Qian Jun, and they knew his temper well. He wouldn’t easily swallow this indignation.

”Sorry for affecting your mood; let’s continue.”

Everyone sat down, but the Gao family huddled like quails, not daring to make a sound.

After another fifteen minutes, everyone finished eating and got up to bid farewell to Qian Jun.

Jiang Xinyu and Yao Shimin also approached Qian Jun. ”You two go back first. Vice Factory Director Jiang, please give Secretary Cao a call.”

Jiang Xinyu understood Qian Jun’s intention: to inform about today’s incident so Secretary Tao could decide whether to come.

”Got it, I’ll call as soon as I return.”

Qian Jun nodded, appreciating Jiang Xinyu’s smartness and quick understanding.

Qian Jun smiled as he saw everyone off, then instructed Gao Ruyun to have the Gao family take home the leftover food.

After sending off the Gao family, there was only one cook and two helpers left in the courtyard.

Qian Jun handed the cook five yuan and asked them to return in the evening for another gathering with close people.

With only the couple left at home, Gao Ruyun was also frightened by the earlier situation. Qian Jun wasn’t in the mood to comfort her; he was still angered. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t swallow this insult.

”Stay here at home, I’m going out for a bit.”

Yao Shimin and Jiang Xinyu, looking at Wei Kaiyun, said, ”Director Wei, I’ll take you to the hotel.”

”No need, thank you, Vice Factory Director Yao. You all have work; I can arrange it myself.”

”Alright then, sorry for the inconvenience.”

”No worries, no worries, you guys go work.”

The two rode off without exchanging a word on the road.

Upon reaching the factory, Yao Shimin, knowing Jiang Xinyu had matters to attend to, exchanged a few words and they each returned to their respective offices.

Jiang Xinyu, after a quick wash, sat down to call Secretary Cao.

”Hello, this is Jiang Xinyu.”

”Vice Factory Director Jiang, what can I do for you?”

Jiang Xinyu recounted the events of that afternoon to Secretary Cao.

”Alright, I understand. I’ll notify Vice Secretary Tao immediately.”

Everyone was wise and knew the purpose of this call.
