Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Imagined Phone Call

The phone was connected.

"Hello, I’m Jiang Cheng, looking for Shen Que."

The one who picked up the phone was Director Lian, he tried to control his voice and said, "Mr. Jiang, please wait, I’ll go and get Shen Que for you."

Before Jiang Cheng could finish saying "good," he heard the sound of clattering, tables and chairs being bumped.

People on the other end were shouting: Go find Shen Que! Go find Shen Que! Mr. Jiang is calling him!

Although he couldn’t see the scene, Jiang Cheng imagined a chaotic situation.

While imagining, Jiang Cheng heard a door being pushed open.

"I’m Shen Que."

Shen Que’s voice, tense and holding his breath, came through the phone to Jiang Cheng’s ear.

"Hello, Shen Que, I wanted to tell you that I’ve passed your gifts to Grandma Shen, Shen Xing, and Shen Yue, and they all liked them very much."

On the other end, Shen Que automatically did a mental translation: I received your gifts and liked them very much.

"Also, thank you for the dumplings, they were delicious."

Shen Que: Jiang Cheng likes dumplings.

"Grandma Shen is healthy, Shen Xing is making progress in his studies, and Shen Yue is learning painting and improving quickly."

Shen Que: Everything is going smoothly, Jiang Cheng’s contributions are invaluable.

Jiang Cheng spoke quite a few sentences and didn’t hear a sound from the other side.

"Shen Que, are you still listening?"

"Yes!"

The firm response confirmed Shen Que’s presence.

"I’m here, always here."

"Thank you for your call, I’m in the provincial city undergoing treatment, expected to return to S City in a week."

Shen Que sounded as if he was making a report, speaking earnestly and seriously.

"Alright, I’ll pass the message to Grandma Shen and the others, then I will hang up now."

Jiang Cheng said hang up and indeed hung up.

Jiang Cheng smiled after hanging up the phone.

Was Shen Que too nervous?

Is the proactive side always nervous?

Jiang Cheng didn’t have an answer, she had zero experience.

The reason for making this call was simply that she didn’t dislike Shen Que, she wanted to keep in touch a bit.

Nothing to be pretentious about.

After hanging up, Jiang Cheng immediately put Shen Que out of her mind.

Meanwhile, Shen Que was listening to the dial tone smiling foolishly, reluctant to put the phone down.

Director Lian and two comrades looked on clicking their tongues in wonder.

"An old man’s heart in spring is different."

"What do you know? That’s an old house catching fire!"

"Hahaha! Exactly right."

The three cheeky friends went online, and Shen Que finally put down the phone.

He looked at the three disdainfully.

"Married old men!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng borrowed Principal Wang’s office to write three letters.

One addressed to Elder Xu in Beijing, one to Uncle Zhong also in Beijing, and one to Director Leng whom she had just met.

The three were golden connections, keeping in touch was still important.

After writing three letters, Jiang Cheng pondered while sitting on a chair, checking what other people she needed to stay connected with.

She actually thought of one person—Master Ma.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue were injured, he helped treat them without charging a fee.

She always remembered to thank him personally but had been busy until now.

Currently, the time...

Jiang Cheng glanced at her wrist and suddenly realized she didn’t have a watch.

"Looks like I need to buy a watch tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng got up to leave.

"Do you have a watch coupon?"

Principal Wang suddenly appeared at the door, looked at Jiang Cheng, asking, "Do you have a watch coupon?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng cheerfully got up and made space, taking the three envelopes.

Principal Wang walked behind the desk and opened a drawer.
