Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The Date

Jiang Cheng walked out of the kitchen with a bowl in hand and immediately saw Li Chunxiang entering through the door.

"Just got up?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Li Chunxiang’s "just got up" was said with a teasing tone, and she winked at Jiang Cheng, her mind full of playful thoughts.

Ordinary people might not be able to take such teasing, but who was Jiang Cheng?

"Yeah, absence makes the heart grow fonder; you must have experienced it, huh?"

A rhetorical question that made Li Chunxiang pause her steps for a moment.

"I really have a bad memory!"

Li Chunxiang said with mock seriousness as she walked forward and sat down at the dining table, unabashedly looking at the dishes on the table.

"Want some more?"

Jiang Cheng asked, and Li Chunxiang, looking at the food, chuckled, "Sure! I’m really hungry."

"Lately, I don’t know what’s going on, but I get hungry really quickly, like I could eat eight meals a day."

Li Chunxiang took the bowl and chopsticks Jiang Cheng handed her and started eating without hesitation.

Jiang Cheng sat across from her and said, "What could it be? You’re just turning the food you eat into food for someone else."

"By the way, what did you come to see me for?"

Li Chunxiang swallowed the food in her mouth.

"I came for something not so good—I need money."

"You’ve been gone for almost two months, and several companies’ accounts are waiting for your signature."

"If I don’t give them the money soon, they’ll come block my door."

At this point, Li Chunxiang looked at Jiang Cheng with some resentment, but Jiang Cheng met her gaze without guilt.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn’t I leave you some money?"

Li Chunxiang perked up at this.

"It’s easy for you to say. You did leave money, but your companies have so many issues. You insisted that the final accounts had to be sent to me."

"Every year there’s money given for Gui Ying’s hygiene publicity, the recent donation to the night school, my husband Gao Zhonghua’s agency company..."

"Not to mention George!"

Li Chunxiang got upset at this point, glaring at Jiang Cheng and asking, "What about that pharmaceutical company you started with George? He’s been spending money like burning paper offerings during Qingming. It’s been three years, and we haven’t seen a single new drug?"

Listening to the financial manager Li Chunxiang’s ramblings, Jiang Cheng could only smile and say, "Okay, okay, I appreciate your hard work. How about a bonus?"

"As for George’s side, the new drug should be ready by the end of this year or early next year. Don’t worry, matters of medicine are big issues and can’t be rushed."

Li Chunxiang understood what Jiang Cheng meant and was just venting.

"Please don’t give me a bonus. I wouldn’t know where to spend it."

The two continued eating, chatting mostly about work-related matters as they ate.

After eating, Jiang Cheng got into the car Li Chunxiang had driven and went to the company.

On the way, Jiang Cheng, observing Li Chunxiang’s skillful driving, complimented her, "Nice! You said you couldn’t learn back then."

Li Chunxiang expertly changed gears, "I was young then... Now I realize that as a woman, it’s best to rely on oneself."

Jiang Cheng turned his head in surprise, even a bit worried, "Did Gao Zhonghua do something?"

Li Chunxiang uttered a confused sound and then realized Jiang Cheng had misunderstood.

"What could Gao Zhonghua do? If he ever wronged me, I’d walk away with the kids!"

"I’m just speaking my mind..."

At this point, Li Chunxiang told Jiang Cheng that she had returned to S City a few days ago and met an old high school classmate.

Her classmate’s family had been quite well off, and she had been radiant in high school.

"You wouldn’t believe it; she now has three kids. Looking at her now... she reminds me of my mother."

"Not that my mother was bad, but the sunny girl disappeared, entirely dependent on her man for everything."

"The man who had been so caring before marriage turned out to be completely different afterward."

Li Chunxiang spoke at length, her words heavy with emotion.

After listening, Jiang Cheng said, "One cannot have too few pillars of life. Completely relying on one person is gambling your life on someone else’s conscience."
