Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Lin Family Is Taken Away

After Shen Que finished his speech, Jiang Cheng returned to the workshop to continue researching with several masters.

Before the end of work, Director Sun’s former secretary came over.

Jiang Cheng walked over and asked, "Does Director Sun need something?"

"No, Director Shen asked me to tell you he needs to work overtime."

Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered the words he said in the morning about leaving work with Shen Que.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for informing me."

"It’s part of my job."

The secretary left.

The heart was far from calm.

On the first day of the new director’s tenure, he had already learned some incredible news.

Stay calm, definitely must stay calm.

This must be a test from the new director, testing if he can keep his mouth shut.

Shen Que in the distant office: You’re overthinking it!

He actually wished everyone knew.

Jiang Cheng continued to work, without particularly waiting for Shen Que, and went back with Li Chunxiang.

The courtyard was particularly lively in the evening.

Workers who returned early from the machinery factory spread the news of Shen Que becoming director like wildfire.

Grandma Shen was stitching shoe soles, sitting on a small stool, smiling at those who congratulated them, but her gaze drifted towards the Lin Family’s direction.

Lin Mother, Mr. Lin, and even Grandma Lin were shocked upon hearing the news.

Shen Que became the director.

Can Lin Chengyuan still become the department head?

Their previous efforts, weren’t all those gifts a waste now?

The family thought in their peculiar way, wondering if they could reclaim the gifts they gave away.

When Lin Chengyuan returned from work, Lin Mother anxiously asked again.

"Shen Que became the director?"

Lin Chengyuan impatiently grunted in response and squeezed past Lin Mother into the house.

"Oh dear!"

Lin Mother exclaimed, gritting her teeth and stomping as she entered the house.

Grandma Shen, feeling refreshed and delighted, stood up to prepare dinner. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Today is a good day, make something delicious!

When Grandma Shen’s food was ready and fragrant, Jiang Cheng came back.

She habitually walked into the Shen Family’s house, informing Grandma Shen that Shen Que needed to work late, so Grandma Shen set some food aside while the four of them ate first.

The cricket sounds in the courtyard were nowhere to be heard.

The Shen Family was rising!

With Jiang Cheng in front and Shen Que in the back, both were incredibly capable, and shouldn’t be messed with!

At half past ten in the evening, Shen Que knocked on Jiang Cheng’s door as usual.

This time, Jiang Cheng straightforwardly came out to eat with Shen Que.

The two lit the kerosene lamp and left the door open.

Shen Que ate the food Grandma Shen left, while Jiang Cheng had a bowl of meat porridge.

"Very busy?"

Shen Que gave an "mm" and served Jiang Cheng some crispy cucumber.

"The next few days will be very busy."

After Shen Que spoke, he looked at Jiang Cheng with a hint of grievance.

Jiang Cheng reached over with one hand, hooking Shen Que’s pinky with her own.

"Does this make it a little better?"

Shen Que shook his head.

"I think this is even better."

Shen Que’s large hand reversed the roles and held Jiang Cheng’s fingers, his lips curving into a smile that wouldn’t close.

The rapid heartbeat struck again, making Shen Que’s feelings for the touch even more tangible.

Their hands were so different.

Skin tone, texture, size.

Jiang Cheng, sharp-eyed, noticed Shen Que’s red ears. She mischievously curled her finger, scratching Shen Que’s palm over and over.

Shen Que looked up.

"Behave—stop messing around."

His magnetic voice carried more sexiness than usual, and for the first time, Jiang Cheng’s heartbeat quickened a little.

"I’m not messing around, if you don’t like it, I can take it away."

Jiang Cheng pretended to withdraw her hand, Shen Que’s palm exerted slight pressure, the red at his eartips climbing to his cheeks.

"I don’t dislike it."
