Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Gratitude

Night school, school’s out.

There were more people than usual at the entrance of the night school today.

After being comforted by He Dan, Lin Chengyuan, who was in a good mood, furrowed his brow in contemplation.

He just found out that the sister of Director Chen from the security department of the machinery factory also attends night school.

This was such an important piece of information that he had only just learned.

But it wasn’t too late.

While Lin Chengyuan was plotting something, night school ended.

One by one, the girls found their families, said goodbye to each other, and left.

He Dan found Lin Chengyuan at this moment.

"Cheng Yuan."

"Do you know that girl?"

Lin Chengyuan used his body to discreetly point to a girl with braided hair, and He Dan looked over.

After glancing with the aid of a flashlight, she shook her head and said, "She doesn’t seem to be in our class."

"Is that so..."

Lin Chengyuan didn’t dare openly mention currying favor with the leader’s sister, so he secretly held He Dan’s hand, and He Dan pretended to shyly push him away. They smiled intimately and left together.

Grandma Shen and a few others waited a bit longer, and Jiang Cheng was the last to come out.

She came out with Principal Wang and was not empty-handed.

At the main gate.

Jiang Cheng greeted Grandma Shen and the others, holding several notebooks and pencils.

"Jiang Cheng, what are you doing with those notebooks?"

"These? Oh— I just did a little something for the school, and the principal insisted on rewarding me. I said no, but he wouldn’t listen."

Same old recipe, the same Jiang Cheng.

Grandma Shen: If you hadn’t winked at me, I would’ve believed you.

Behind them, Principal Wang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Did this girl’s face just run away from home?

Who was it?

Who was it in the office persistently claiming the police provided a reward?

Principal Wang certainly wouldn’t let the night school students be rewarded by outsiders; that would be a slap to his face.

In the end, Jiang Cheng walked away with several notebooks and pencils.

And that wasn’t even the most aggravating part.

Jiang Cheng, taking the reward, consoled Principal Wang with a smile: It’s okay, Principal Wang, no need to be embarrassed; although it’s not as good as the police reward, I don’t mind.

"Hurry up and go!"

Principal Wang urged, looking exasperatedly at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng, sensing the moment, prepared to leave with Grandma Shen and the other two.

"Wait a minute!"

Sun Jiandong ran out from the darkness and assured Grandma Shen and the others: "I’ll continue!"

Leaving those words behind, Sun Jiandong ran off.

Grandma Shen didn’t quite understand but looked precisely at Jiang Cheng.

"It’s nothing serious; Shen Xing and Shen Yue wrote a thank-you letter to Mr. Sun."

Grandma Shen turned to look at Shen Xing.

"I was responsible for writing, and my sister promised to give me a notebook."

"I used my pencil, and my sister said she’d give me a new pencil."

Shen Yue proudly admitted to being bribed, sticking out her little chest.

"That’s right, our Yue Yue is the best! This is a reward from Principal Wang because you understand gratitude and are a good and kind child."

Jiang Cheng handed the pencils and notebooks to Shen Xing and Shen Yue.

Principal Wang: So, I’m just the supplier, huh?

The group parted ways at the gate and went home separately.

Monday, the next day.

Jiang Cheng left the house with Shen Xing and Shen Yue, parting ways at an intersection.

Not long after setting off, Jiang Cheng realized someone was following her, the same person as yesterday.

Pretending not to notice, Jiang Cheng entered the recycling station.

"Jiang Cheng, you’re finally here!"

The station director warmly greeted her.

"Director, is there something today?"
