Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Tired, Aren’t You?

For the first time, Jiang Cheng showed a guilty expression.

Director Lu relaxed as soon as he heard Shen Que’s name, and with a quick slurp, he finished the noodles he had half-eaten.

Director Lian also relaxed and continued eating.

Director Lu looked at Jiang Cheng, who was getting up, and advised, "Sit down and eat; the post office is closed by now."

"Besides, when your Director Shen sees you, he just... um... let me think of the word..."

Director Lu paused for a long time and still couldn’t find a word to replace "silly."

"Forget it, I couldn’t think of it!"

Jiang Cheng glanced at Director Lu and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Your advice is really great."

"Haha, right! I think so too!"

Director Lu agreed smoothly.

Then he said cheerfully, "Indeed, spending a lot of time with you has had some impact on my personality."

Jiang Cheng was amused by Director Lu.

Is this your way of calling me thick-skinned?

"I’m going out for a bit."

Jiang Cheng didn’t want this matter to linger on her mind.

"Where are you going? Wait! I’m coming with you!"

Director Lu hurriedly got up and said anxiously, "It’s late at night, and you shouldn’t go out alone, young lady."

Director Lian quickly echoed, "The Director is right."

Finally, the three of them quickly finished dinner and went out together.

The Foreign Trade Guesthouse was close to the Foreign Trade Department, so the three of them arrived quickly.

As soon as Jiang Cheng walked in, she already greeted four or five people and started talking.

While the three were going upstairs, Director Yan, who was on duty, came down and asked excitedly, "Did you secure that order?"

For the first time, Jiang Cheng didn’t know whether to put her foot down or pull it back.

Why does it feel like "money" is written all over my face?

"Director Yan, it’s okay to have dreams, but wishful thinking isn’t great."

Jiang Cheng stepped up firmly.

She had nothing to be embarrassed about!

The orders she carried were worth millions!

Upstairs, Director Yan suddenly realized that he might have been a little abrupt.

"Sorry, do you need something?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, "I need to make a call to the S City Machinery Factory."

"Oh? Sure! The phone is in that room."

Director Yan stepped aside, his mind racing.

Machinery Factory?

Is anyone among these foreigners doing business with the Machinery Factory?

Perplexed, Director Yan looked to Director Lu for guidance and asked humbly, "Does the Machinery Factory have products?"

Director Lu put on a profound look, "They have a very important project."

"Life’s major events" are indeed important.

Misled by Director Lu, Director Yan not only believed it but also told others not to disturb Jiang Cheng.

At that moment, Jiang Cheng was alone by the phone, dialing the S City Machinery Factory.

Waiting...

"Hello, S City Machinery Factory..."

"I’m Jiang—"

Before she could finish the name, the operator on the other side yelled excitedly, "Jiang Cheng is on the line! Jiang Cheng is calling!"

Jiang Cheng felt even more guilty.

That voice?

Looks like the operator suffered a lot under Shen Que’s pressure.

Jiang Cheng guessed right.

On Shen Que’s first day, he asked three times if he had any calls.

The operator replied no.

The next day, when Shen Que asked again, the operator said there was a call, and the director visibly brightened up, but... it wasn’t from Jiang Cheng.

After answering the call, Shen Que’s mood dropped significantly.

The frightened operator almost wanted to cry: What does the director want exactly?

In the days that followed, Shen Que pretended to casually drop by every day until the operator finally realized the crucial point.

It wasn’t the right person calling.
