Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: First Kiss

Upon hearing the directors’ words, Jiang Cheng initially shook her head.

Shen Que couldn’t go.

Shen Que closely followed Jiang Cheng’s expressions. Seeing her shaking her head, he helplessly counted down the time he could stand.

"I can’t go, and none of the other directors can either."

Shen Que had long considered this issue; he wasn’t comfortable with Jiang Cheng going out alone.

No matter how powerful one is, handling multiple foes at once is difficult.

Shen Que looked at Jiang Cheng, inquiring, "Gao Zhonghua can accompany you as a bodyguard, but listen to me first."

Interrupting Jiang Cheng’s attempt to speak, Shen Que continued, "In just a month and a half, I’ll be able to stand. I can move freely now."

"Moreover, I have people around me who can assist."

"Gao Zhonghua is skilled; I trust him to protect you well."

"Additionally, I’m preparing to send Li Chunxiang to Yang City for training; she can accompany you."

"Having two trustworthy people with you makes things easier."

Jiang Cheng understood.

The excuse of training in Yang City was just a pretext; Shen Que deliberately sent Li Chunxiang on a trip for her sake.

Director Lu and Director Fang understood as well.

Director Lu quickly reacted, saying, "What a coincidence! Our factory’s Sun Aiguo is also going to Yang City for training; you should travel together!"

Jiang Cheng smiled wryly.

She hadn’t even agreed to Shen Que before Director Lu joined the fun.

Beside her, there was Director Fang eagerly waiting.

"Our factory’s Jian Yueer —"

"No!"

Jiang Cheng interrupted, meeting Director Fang’s resentful gaze.

"Director Lu, Director Fang, I appreciate your intentions, but Shen Que has already arranged for two people, which is enough."

"Though I’m an excellent interpreter, having too many people might make others jealous. Let’s be modest."

Director Lu suddenly frowned, saying, "If we’re capable, why be afraid?"

"Exactly! I’m sending people with you; let’s see who dares to be jealous!"

Director Fang supported Director Lu, the two showing a bit of brotherly unity.

Jiang Cheng helplessly looked at the directors, mysteriously saying:

"You don’t understand... many things are better done discreetly; success comes through secrecy, not flamboyance."

Director Lu and Director Fang thought this over; it made some sense.

Besides, the decision rested with Jiang Cheng.

Reluctantly, they agreed, but they still had concerns.

"Jiang Cheng, outside, don’t drink the water others give you."

"If you lose money, don’t chase after it; I’ll reimburse you.’

"Take good care of yourself!"

Jiang Cheng patiently listened to the directors, exchanging a glance with Shen Que before he went off to work.

Soon, Jiang Cheng redirected the directors’ attention to Gao Zhonghua and Li Chunxiang.

Gao Zhonghua and Li Chunxiang received booklets and were listening attentively, seriously taking notes.

Accompanying Jiang Cheng seemed like a sacred mission.

Jiang Cheng shook her head, helplessly saying, "Is it necessary?"

"Of course, it’s necessary!"

Principal Wang suddenly chimed in, "Ms. Jiang Cheng, being so unconfident is not like you."

Jiang Cheng turned back, feigning ignorance, asking, "Principal Wang, do you mean is it necessary to make such a fuss over me?"

"I can’t blame you; it’s my fault for being too excellent."

After boasting, Jiang Cheng walked away.

Principal Wang, holding a teacup, murmured with a wry smile: Never learns!

Just past eleven in the morning, Jiang Cheng entered her new home carrying firewood, symbolizing prosperity.

Behind her, others carried symbolic items of peace, full harvests, and abundance, like big carp representing luck.

Once the good omens ceremony concluded, it was time to officially start lunch.

Two large tables were set.

Each table had eight dishes: six meat dishes, two vegetarian, and two cold appetizers.

A splendid feast.

As the host, Jiang Cheng raised her glass in thanks.
