Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Speaking Frankly

Su Yuanyuan knew her thoughts afterward but didn’t mind. When she came back, Xie Fenglan had to go elsewhere. She didn’t need those people whom they thought were important around her.

Chengzi returned in about half an hour. ”Sister-in-law, Secretary Qin said to arrange it that way.”

”Alright, I know.”

The next day at noon, Xu Guozhi still asked her to come over for lunch.

”Xiao Su, do you want a position at the Public Security Department?”

Su Yuanyuan nodded frankly, ”Yes, that’s what I want. The main thing is, this time made me realize, everything is at the mercy of others.”

”Alright, I’ll give it to you. I trust you.”

Su Yuanyuan put down her chopsticks and looked at Xu Guozhi very earnestly. ”Leader, I can swear to you, I have no ill intent that would harm you. I also have no unrealistic ambitions. To be bold, even if you gave it to me, I wouldn’t want it.”

Xu Guozhi nodded, ”I know what kind of person you are. I believe in you. So from now on, just tell me directly what you want.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled, ”Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.”

”Su Yuanyuan, am I someone you care about?”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t expect Xu Guozhi to ask that. ”Leader, I can only say that if one day someone tries to harm you, I will stand by your side without hesitation.

If one day we end up on opposing sides, I will cleanly step aside.”

Xu Guozhi smiled, nodding repeatedly, ”Good, good, I trust what you say.

Xiao Su, are you going to arrange for Zhang Chunsheng to go over?”

”Yes, he’s been working diligently for so many years. He absolutely deserves that position.”

”Alright, I’ll talk to Old Zeng about it. Once I sign the transfer order, he can take office, which will also set your mind at ease.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”I indeed need peace of mind. I’m not ambitious, I want the people I care about to be smooth sailing.”

”What if, in the future, they betray you?”

Su Yuanyuan thought this was what Xu Guozhi really wanted to ask?

”Leader, I trust myself. But if that day ever comes, I will act, leaving them no chance to regret.”

”Alright, I understand. Go ahead, I’ll arrange everything properly.”

This reassured Su Yuanyuan. This way, when she leaves in a few days, she can be at ease.

Two days later, Zhang Chunsheng received the transfer order, and so did Hu Zi. Both were set to take office together. Over here, Daqing also officially took over all duties at the garrison.

Zhou Cong left with Zhang Chunsheng this time. After all, going alone is challenging, especially since Li Changsheng has very strong roots.

Su Yuanyuan would leave in five days, with Chengzi accompanying her. The others would stay behind.

Actually, she didn’t even want to bring Chengzi, but acting alone was not allowed from above.

”Qian Zhifeng, please look after the Li family’s three generations. If there’s anything you can’t handle, go to Secretary Qin.”

”Yes.”

Setting things up like this allowed her to leave with peace of mind. Even if it’s just ten days, anything can happen at a moment’s notice.

Su Yuanyuan even went to the Ministry of Agriculture specifically to ask about the situation with the saline-alkali land cultivation. She sighed inwardly; hearing the data, it indeed couldn’t be called a success yet.

Everything has to be taken step by step. No one can become successful overnight.

The day before leaving, she still went to see the three generations of the Li family.

”I have to go on a trip, roughly ten days to half a month. If anything happens, find Secretary Qian. He will help you solve it.”

”Sister Yuan Yuan, be sure to come back soon.”

”Of course, I won’t be late coming back.”

Early the next morning, Chengzi drove the two of them out of the Capital. The roads now were better than before, and they didn’t stop at all, arriving at Taolin Port two days later.

Chengzi had been here before. Su Yuanyuan directed their stop at the village chief’s house.

The old village chief looked even older this year. Seeing Su Yuanyuan, he sighed inwardly, knowing she was a significant figure now.

”Is the village chief doing well lately?”

”Leader,” the old village chief was somewhat uneasy.

”Please don’t be like this, let’s interact as we used to. This makes me very uncomfortable.”

The old village chief was still nervous. ”Okay, I understand.”

”Old village chief, I’m here to book a boat for the 15th and also go out to sea with me.”

”Xiao Su, no problem at all. Here’s the key to your house; it’s always kept tidy, and we’ve planted vegetables in the yard for you.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled, ”Thank you, village chief. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll come again on the 14th.”

Actually, Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t stay here, mainly because Chengzi was with her, and it wasn’t appropriate for them to stay together. It would be more convenient to go directly to the sanatorium.

However, since she got the key, Su Yuanyuan still visited once. She had Chengzi help the old village chief move down more than ten pounds of sweets.

”These are delicious pastries from the Capital. It’s too hot now to keep them, so have your family eat them quickly, old village chief.

And here’s some cloth; I don’t need it, so make some clothes for the children at home.”

The village chief accepted it excitedly, ”Thank you, Xiao Su.”

The two of them left the village chief’s house and drove directly to her house entrance.

”Sister-in-law, is this the house you built?”

”Yes, at that time, I thought about living here. Who knew things would develop this way? Now it’s just not possible to return.”

Chengzi didn’t speak; from the start, Sister-in-law wanted a peaceful, secluded life, but now, everything had changed significantly.

Following her directions, they arrived at the entrance of her house.

They opened the gate and entered the yard, which had many vegetables growing in it; everything looked pretty good.

They went inside to take a look around; possibly because someone regularly aired the place out, there was no musty smell, and it looked quite clean.

”Sister-in-law, this place is actually pretty good, isn’t it? How about just living here?”

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, ”It’s still better to go to the sanatorium; it’s more convenient there.”

After a tour, she returned the key to the village chief. ”Old village chief, I’ll stay at the sanatorium. If there’s anything special in the next few days, find me there. I’ll also come back on the 14th.”

”Alright, alright. Staying there is convenient.”

Su Yuanyuan had Chengzi drive to Feng Shanshan’s house, and after knocking for a while, someone came to open the door, appearing to have just woken from a nap.

”Xiao Su, you’re back? Just yesterday, I thought you should be arriving around these days.”

”Yes, I’ve come over. By the way, I’m going to the sanatorium. Here’s some pastries and cloth for you. Thank you for taking care of my yard.”

”No need to be polite.”

”These pastries are delicious, but they can’t be stored in this hot weather. Enjoy them for the next few days. I’m leaving now.”

Feng Shanshan watched as the car drove away, looked at the roll of cloth and pastries in her arms, smiled, and went back inside.
