Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Backed by 954

Zhao Qingxiang nodded, then remembered that Yuanyuan couldn’t see him, ”Yuanyuan, I’m right at the door waiting.”

”Okay, let your family know that it’s all right. They can fulfill all your requests, and think clearly about what you want to do with Xu Hongbing. Just directly tell the leader who’s coming to pick you up.”

”Okay, Xiao Jing just keeps crying. After all these years, she doesn’t have a penny, always listening to Xu Hongbing. He’s really fooled her miserably.”

”It’s okay, rest assured. I’ll make a phone call first, and once it’s resolved, I’ll be informed from my end too. Don’t worry, it will all go according to what we want.”

Su Yuanyuan put down the phone, looking at Qian Zhifeng standing on the other side of her desk, ”Make a call to the person in charge over there.”

Qian Zhifeng quickly took out a leather-covered, palm-sized notebook. He flipped through a few pages, found the number, and dialed it.

Su Yuanyuan was very satisfied with Qian Zhifeng; now this is a competent secretary.

”Hello, I am Qian Zhifeng, Secretary to Minister Su Yuanyuan of the External Liaison Department.”

The person on the other end of the phone was startled, ”Hello, Secretary Qian. What can I do for you?”

”Please immediately send someone to the post office to find the Zhao Family. They are relatives of Minister Su, and they have been wronged over there. You must help them, following proper procedures and in accordance with the law.”

”Yes, yes, we will send someone over right away.”

”Take down this number and inform Minister Su once the issue is resolved. We are very concerned about them here.”

”Understood.”

After Qian Zhifeng hung up the phone.

”Secretary Qian, follow up on this matter and tell the person in charge over there not to pursue responsibility for that man, but he should still pay the price.”

”Yes.”

Qian Zhifeng went out and let several responsible individuals come in to continue the meeting.

On the other side, after hanging up the phone, someone directly sent their secretary to the post office.

Does Minister Su have relatives here? That certainly means we must maintain a good relationship.

After Zhao Qingxiang hung up Su Yuanyuan’s call, he dialed Zhao Yanli’s number.

”Yuanyuan received the call. She said she’s looking for someone to come over and pick us up shortly. She said she’ll arrange everything.”

”Well, then I’m relieved. Big brother, if our Second Sister still wants to stay with Xu Hongbing, let mom and dad scold her for her lack of ambition. I’ve taken leave. Big Sister might not have time to come back, so I’ll go and check.”

”Xiao Li, don’t come back. Someone here will take care of it, the road is not good right now. Wait till it’s better, and then come with brother-in-law and them.”

”Alright, then call me once it’s resolved.”

After Zhao Qingxiang hung up the phone, he handed over three yuan, feeling the pinch of it.

The staff at the post office all watched Zhao Qingxiang, especially the operator just now, thinking, wow, was I just talking to high leadership? Just the thought made her excited, so much that her smile was uncontrollable.

Zhao Qingxiang was originally worried about the money. But seeing the girl looking at him that way, he immediately didn’t care about the money anymore. He turned around and ran.

Once he left, the staff at the post office gathered around.

”Xiao Liu, was that person just now making a call to a high leader?”

Xiao Liu nodded excitedly, eyes wide open.

”Xiao Liu, did you hear that person’s voice?”

”I did. I was talking to the secretary. But I heard that person speak. Really, he sounded very young, and his voice was pleasant.”

”Wow, who would have thought someone in our small city knows a high leader? Next time he comes, we must greet him warmly.”

Everyone nodded, feeling quite excited.

Zhao Qingxiang went out, but didn’t see Zhao Qingjie or Xu Hongbing.

”Did Xu Hongbing run away? Should we go find that woman?”

Zhao Qingxiang shook his head, ”I just got through to Yuanyuan. She told us to wait here. She’s getting someone local to help us. I refuse to believe there’s no way to deal with those two.”

Now Sun Yun and Qi Xuemei felt relieved; as long as Yuanyuan was involved, it definitely wouldn’t end just like this.

Zhao Xiaojing sat in the car with her head down. Honestly, she wasn’t truly foolish; she’d always regarded Xu Hongbing as her world. She liked his looks, and her man was quick-witted and could make money. She wanted to live a devoted life with him, trusted him, and treated him well.

Even after knowing this, she was still unwilling to believe, making excuses in her heart for the man, thinking it must have been an outside woman seducing him.

Yet just now, that man turned and left. This was genuinely frightening.

Zhao Xiaojing knew that without Su Yuanyuan intervening, Xu Hongbing probably wouldn’t act like this.

He said he broke up with that woman, which Zhao Xiaojing believed. She even planned to deal with that woman and then let it go.

But since arriving at the post office, he kept wanting to settle it this way. He said if they dealt with that woman, it would implicate him as well.

Seeing more onlookers, he actually ran away. Now Zhao Xiaojing was truly disheartened, realizing such a man didn’t care about her at all.

Nobody understood this better than Zhao Xiaojing. Without Su Yuanyuan, Xu Hongbing would probably have gotten rid of her already.

Why did it end up like this? Probably because she was too good to him. Yes, definitely. For him, she didn’t even maintain contact with her own family.

He had told her before that Su Yuanyuan was formidable. Shang Zhiqiang’s death had something to do with her. If it wasn’t for her involvement, maybe Big Sister would have continued living the life.

Back then, she believed it too, but now she understood. He was just afraid of Su Yuanyuan. At that time, he must have already had someone else outside, right?

The family money wasn’t given to her, and he deceived her saying if anything was needed, he’d buy it for her to save her the trouble. In truth, he gave all the money to that woman outside. It turned out she was working tirelessly, making money for that woman to spend.

Zhao Xiaojing had never been so clear-minded. A man like Xu Hongbing was absolutely not someone to live with.

If he treated her well, that would have been fine, but now she realized that Xu Hongbing didn’t value her at all.

Qi Xuemei was deeply worried about her husband. It’s been so long; why hasn’t he returned?

”Big Brother, why hasn’t Qingjie come back yet?”

”Which direction did they go?”

Just as they were discussing this, Zhao Qingjie returned, gasping for breath.

”Big Brother, I secretly followed Xu Hongbing and saw him unlock and enter a courtyard.”

”Hmm, Yuanyuan has already found someone to help us. Just wait here.”

”Excuse me, are you Zhao Qingxiang?”

A middle-aged, scholarly man wearing glasses got out of a car.

Zhao Qingxiang nodded, ”Yes, that’s me.”

”Hello, I am Tang Shusen, Mr. Zhao’s secretary. The leader has instructed me to handle this matter. Let’s go, we need to head to the local police station. Rest assured, there will be an explanation for you.”
