Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 493: 493 coming back

After eating their fill. ”Take the toys for the kids, let’s go outside for a walk. If we see Yuan Xi, we’ll give them to him. If not, we’ll wait until tomorrow.”

Since Su Yuanyuan came here, she never visits others, unwilling to go to other people’s houses. So she didn’t plan on having the kids deliver toys to other children at their homes.

Watching as the children ran into the house with smiles, finding the toys meant for Yuan Xi.

Because they had just finished eating, she didn’t let the kids run.

How could kids not want to move around? Su Yuanyuan smiled as she followed behind them.

The three kids arrived at their usual play spot, but there was no sign of Yuan Xi.

They were a bit disappointed. ”Alright. Won’t you see your friend tomorrow anyway? Mom will help you hold the toys, and let’s play here a bit longer.”

Right now, there aren’t any mosquitoes this season in the evenings, and it’s cool, so playing a little longer is just right.

Tan Shaoting had handed over all his work. The superior called him over.

”Xiao Tan, tell me the details about this information.”

”Leader, I don’t know the specifics either. This was given to my wife by Hu Xiu, Jiang Mingguo’s wife, the day before she returned.”

”The day before returning?”

”My wife knew the seriousness of this matter. That’s why she asked Lu Jianjun to call me.”

”Alright, I understand. However, it’s great that you managed to bring it back.”

Because they were also under surveillance, and people like Tan Shaoting and them would be checked upon returning.

This time, Tan Shaoting’s merit was the greatest. He gathered a lot of information, which was a real boon to this side.

”Xiao Tan, take all this information and hand it over.”

”Yes.”

Since it didn’t really matter, he started to hand it over to each project leader. For those not here, he called them, and by the time all the information had been passed on, it was already past eight in the evening.

He was eager to return home. His wife and children were waiting for him at home.

He hadn’t even eaten dinner, so after informing the leader’s secretary, he drove home.

By the time he got home, the four of them were already asleep.

When he came in, Su Yuanyuan woke up, knowing it was him, so she didn’t move.

Tan Shaoting peeked into the room, patted his wife, and went out to take a shower.

Su Yuanyuan got up to prepare a meal for him, even though it was already late.

That night, Tan Shaoting held Su Yuanyuan tightly and wouldn’t let go.

The next day, the kids were excitedly clinging to their dad when they saw him.

During breakfast, the three children made their request.

Tan Shaoting raised an eyebrow, ”Learning martial arts? It’s not impossible. But you’re still young, not suitable for practice yet.”

”Dad, we’re not that young anymore.”

”Okay, Dad will think of a way.”

What Tan Shaoting had in mind was to have them exercise and stay fit, but since the kids requested it, he would find a master for them to learn from. It’ll benefit them in the future too.

The garrison already knew that Tan Shaoting had returned. Cao Jinling was like an ant on a hot pan; she wasn’t giving up and wanted to try one last time.

So, she took a leave and waited for him on a path he had to take.

She hoped things would go her way, so her dad wouldn’t gamble.

Seeing the man walking from afar, like a God, Cao Jinling felt a fiery heat in her heart.

She rushed over, ”Leader, I have something to discuss with you.”

Tan Shaoting didn’t even spare her a glance. Even if a male colleague approached him like this, he wouldn’t necessarily acknowledge him, let alone a woman with such vile intentions.

Cao Jinling seethed with resentment as she watched the man she adored walk past without even looking at her.

She chased after him, trying to grab his hand.

Tan Shaoting dodged. He felt nothing but disgust for this woman.

It seemed they wouldn’t listen to Zeng Zhenqing anymore, as keeping them would just be disgusting.

Cao Jinling didn’t have the Mind Reading Technique and didn’t know that her pestering had only pushed them into an even more embarrassing situation.

Tears streaming down her face, Cao Jinling watched the back of the man she loved, wondering why he didn’t give her a chance.

She didn’t even have a chance to persuade her dad. Initially, she didn’t want to stand on the opposing side. Now it seemed inevitable.

Tan Shaoting entered the office, and there was about ten minutes until the morning meeting.(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m

Li Changmao came over, and the two briefly discussed nearly a month’s worth of work.

”Wang Dabiao looks brawny, but who would’ve thought he’s so meticulous,” Li Changmao said with a smile.

”Everyone has their strengths.”

”Yes, I’ve given those who’ve returned a five-day break.”

Tan Shaoting nodded, knowing that Li Changmao was a cautious and meticulous person. He felt relieved having him organize the work.

Actually, Tan Shaoting was paving the way because he saw his wife trapped here every day for him—she had no freedom now.

By grooming someone capable, his departure wouldn’t have much of an impact.

Even though he couldn’t leave just yet, he was preparing in advance.

The morning meeting was as usual, and everyone knew Tan Shaoting didn’t like lengthy talks.

Wang Dabiao knew that Tan Shaoting had returned and was thrilled. He had come back the day before yesterday. Due to the previous issue with Cao Mingjun, he hadn’t done anything when he returned home but continued his investigation of Cao Mingjun’s current situation.

It was better he hadn’t investigated. Once the results came out, he was speechless at how daring it really was.

After returning, he stayed in his dorm writing the investigation report.

He hadn’t expected the leader to return yesterday, leaving Cao without any time to breathe.

So, after the meeting, Wang Dabiao came over.

Looking at his report, Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Very good. I’m entrusting this matter to you. I need more information on that side.”

”Yes.”

Wang Dabiao was ecstatic. He could never stand Cao Mingjun. This guy had put them in difficult situations before, and now the tables had turned.

Li Changmao watched the two of them with a smile, thinking to himself that Wang Dabiao really had earned Tan Shaoting’s favor.

At noon, Tan Shaoting called Zeng Zhenqing.

”I’m not planning on keeping it anymore.”

Zeng Zhenqing sighed. He originally wanted to give Cao Mingjun a chance. He didn’t expect someone who followed him for so many years to be a fool.

His greatest ability was just this; there was nothing else he could do.

”Alright. By the way, I’ve found the house for you. When will you come over?”

”I’m busy these days; I’ll go back and ask my wife.”

”That’s fine, just go directly, and discuss directly with the seller.”

”Alright.” Tan Shaoting noted down the address, feeling that his wife would likely be fond of this location.

Thinking of how his wife had mentioned wanting the kids to attend preschool, which would mean the four of them would have to leave here, he wondered what he should do. Perhaps he could drive home after work each day.
