Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Another Language

"Okay!"

Shen Xing agreed and recited the phone number for Jiang Cheng to hear.

After Jiang Cheng memorized it, Shen Yue just came out and rode her bike to take the two kids to school.

Leaving from the school gate, Jiang Cheng first went to night school.

Is it too much to ask to use the phone?

Seeing Jiang Cheng coming over during the day, Principal Wang didn’t even ask, just skillfully pushed the phone over.

"Principal, your phone-pushing move is especially cool!"

Principal Wang confidently tossed his head and stood up with his hands behind his back:

"Of course! Back in the day, I was the best of the best!"

"I’m going to the bathroom."

Jiang Cheng knew Principal Wang was giving her space, so she immediately called out with concern, "Principal, thank you for your hard work!"

Principal Wang staggered, luckily catching himself against the wall.

What’s hard about going to the bathroom???

Jiang Cheng mischievously pulled over a chair and sat down, dialing the number Shen Xing gave her.

At present, the phone cannot be directly connected, especially when dialing into special departments, it requires local transfer, then another transfer, it’s quite troublesome.

After Jiang Cheng gave out the phone number, she simply waited in the office.

A dozen or so minutes later, the phone rang, and Jiang Cheng quickly picked it up.

"Hello, I’m Jiang Cheng from ## City, looking for Shen Xing’s elder brother Shen Que."

"Hello Mr. Jiang, Shen Que is on a mission and his return date is uncertain."

Return date uncertain?

That’s not a good phrase.

"Okay, if Shen Que returns, please have him call this number back, tell him Shen Yue and Shen Xing are very concerned about him."

"Okay, I will certainly pass on the message."

The call ended.

On the other side, the person on the call looked at the leader beside him, whose face was too dark to discern the expression, and asked, "Can Captain Shen really not be reached?"

"Missing for five days."

The questioner clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, gathering strength and said, "There must be nothing wrong! That’s Captain Shen after all!"

"Yes! There will be nothing wrong!"

Jiang Cheng had some unsettling guesses in her mind.

"I hope everything is alright."

Jiang Cheng walked out of the office and saw Principal Wang at the gate engaged in lively conversation with Uncle Wang at the gate.

"Uncle Wang, Principal Wang."

Principal Wang saw Jiang Cheng coming out and quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying:

"Leaving already?"

Jiang Cheng looked at him with a smile and asked:

"Principal, if you’re inviting me to eat, just say so, no need to be so indirect."

Principal Wang rolled his eyes, but still said, "I can invite you for a meal, but there’s something I need to discuss with you."

Jiang Cheng pretended to ponder.

"Getting things done... that’s a different rate."

Principal Wang immediately said with understanding, "Feel free to use the phone as you please!"

"Haha, I told you our principal is the most generous!"

Jiang Cheng then followed Principal Wang back to the office.

"Jiang Cheng, most of the students have jobs. If they casually take leave for performances, being gone for days, they’re afraid of losing their jobs."

Jiang Cheng understood and said:

"So, we can’t just take leave to perform, we need to be invited to perform."

Principal Wang caught onto her line of thought and asked, "So who are we teaming up with this time?"

Jiang Cheng retorted, "We call this a strategic partnership."

Principal Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "Right, right! Who are we collaborating with this time?"

Jiang Cheng shook her head, laughing, and continued:

"Right now, we’ll perform a few free shows during our free time, then work with the press to polish a few articles to start the publicity."
