Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Jiang Cheng Is Back

Shen Que, who was pouring tea, put down the teapot, sat down calmly, and watched the show.

"Lao Guo, Jiang Cheng is a student at our night school."

The implication was: Don’t get involved in this, alright?

Manager Guo remained unmoved and picked up his teacup.

"You’re right, our Xinhua Bookstore just pays Jiang Cheng some royalties."

Principal Wang’s expression turned awkward.

He suspected that Lao Guo was hinting that he was poor.

Even though it was true.

Manager Guo put down his teacup, looked at Principal Wang, and said, "Principal Wang, Jiang Cheng completed the translation of seven books last month, in three different languages."

"At the upcoming provincial Xinhua Bookstore’s commendation conference for advanced groups, I can’t secretly take Jiang Cheng’s credit and sneak up there, can I?"

Principal Wang snorted.

"The commendation conference is important, but isn’t our night school important too?"

"I’m telling you, this big exam at the night school is for selecting talents. There’s a chance to work in the provincial capital. Are you really going to stop it?"

This time, it was Manager Guo’s turn to be at a loss for words.

He couldn’t bear to!

This frustrating feeling...

Manager Guo swiftly turned his gaze to Shen Que, who was watching with amusement.

"Director Shen, why are you laughing?"

Expressionless Shen Que pointed at his own face: "I’m laughing?"

"What’s the matter, am I talking nonsense!"

The look in Shen Que’s eyes said: Not only can you, but you did. Yet he said,

"Of course, Manager Guo wouldn’t."

After speaking, Shen Que picked up the teapot to pour tea again.

Principal Wang took away the teacup and said, "Stop pouring! I’ve already drank too much."

Manager Guo, also frustrated, took his own teacup and looked outside and said, "Did Jiang Cheng say she was coming back today?"

"Yes! I called to confirm yesterday, she should be here already."

Principal Wang also anxiously looked outside. As he looked, his concerns turned into mumbling.

"She’s been in the countryside for so many days, I wonder if that girl can adapt."

Manager Guo asked puzzled, "Isn’t Jiang Cheng’s hometown in the countryside?"

Principal Wang clicked his tongue and glared at Manager Guo, "So what?"

Manager Guo immediately shook his head.

"Nothing, just slipped out."

Principal Wang and Manager Guo would bicker occasionally and tease Shen Que from time to time.

In any case, the three of them were sometimes enemies, sometimes friends.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue exchanged a glance sitting on their little stools.

"Brother, is our big brother being rejected?"

"Hmm, you’re not seeing it wrong."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue sighed with concern.

"I’m worried too! That day I offered my snow cream to big brother to look better and he refused. Doesn’t know my good intentions at all. What if Sister Jiang Cheng doesn’t like him anymore?"

Shen Xing was equally worried.

Big brother is quite outstanding, but he always felt Sister Jiang Cheng was even more so.

Shen Xing worriedly said, "Looks like we both need to work harder to be good to Sister Jiang Cheng. Maybe she’ll be more forgiving to big brother on our account."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue wholeheartedly agreed.

Shen Que, who overheard everything, thought: Will not using snow cream get you rejected?

Granny Shen sitting at the door also heard the little ones talking and glanced at Shen Que.

What’s with that expression?

He’s definitely being silly again.

Granny Shen, who could accurately perceive Shen Que’s feelings, was not worried about Shen Que and Jiang Cheng.

Because when Shen Que was in love, he didn’t bring his brain along.

And Jiang Cheng just happened to like Shen Que’s silly demeanor.

The two of them were a perfect match.

In the small room, although everyone was thinking different things, the central figure was the same.

"Jiang Cheng is back."

"Ah — just came back."

Swish, bang, bang.

Granny Shen’s face turned slightly red, but she still hummed an acknowledgement. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
