"I will."
Zhang Qian heard Zhang Liunian's indifference and felt inexplicably relieved. Flowing Year Brother must have a way, not afraid of the Tang family's meddling.
Returning to the entrance of the live shrimp restaurant in the county town, Zhang Liunian saw his two increasingly mature and sensible cousins, and behind them stood Zhang Liusha and Du Ziteng. These two guys were actually eyeing his cousins.
Indeed, it was the nature of men.
"San Niou, try this pancake I made for you myself." Du Ziteng took out a carefully preserved pancake from his pocket and offered it to Liu Sanniu.
Liu Sanniu's little face was flushed as she refused, "I've already had breakfast, I don't need it. You keep it for yourself!"
The day before yesterday, her boyfriend came looking for her, asking why she hadn't gone to find him. Liu Sanniu weakly said she wanted to break up, but he didn't agree. In the end, it was Zhang Liusha who intervened to drive him away.
Now, facing Du Ziteng's solicitousness, she had no intention of accepting.
Beside them, Zhang Liusha also brought Liu Si Niu eggs from their own home. These two seemed to have an agreement, both knowing how to win over girls with food.
The difference was that Liu Si Niu readily accepted Zhang Liusha's eggs, indicating that there was a potential relationship.
"If you don't eat it, just throw it away. I'm going to South City." Du Ziteng dared not linger here. He turned to leave, but then he saw Zhang Liunian. Du Ziteng opened his mouth to say something, but saw Zhang Liunian wave him goodbye.
"Then I'll be going." Du Ziteng said this to Zhang Liunian. Before he finished speaking, he mounted his bicycle and sped away.
Liu Sanniu also saw Zhang Liunian at this time, her hand holding the pancake not knowing where to put it.
Zhang Liunian ignored his cousins' romantic affairs. He entered the shop, sat for a while, understood the situation, and then turned home to find Uncle Zhao.
"You've taken on the project for the food factory's staff building? How did you manage it? That project is a major undertaking in South City, and it represents the factory workers. If it's built well, other large factories in South City will also build staff buildings." Zhao Zhijie was quite shocked to hear that his godson had taken on such a large project so quietly.
After the shock came excitement and worry, because he remembered that his godson was involved in the food industry, and this was quite a leap!
"It should be considered a rather large project. Do you have any suitable engineers to recommend to me?" Zhang Liunian knew that the Second Machinery Factory had four floors, which definitely required engineers to lead the team. Zhao Zhijie should know better than him, someone who hadn't been involved in this field.
"There are, but I think you don't need to look for anyone else. Why not just let Ma Quancai do it? He was in construction when he was in the army."
"..." Zhang Liunian was speechless. Uncle Ma was doing well in Datang County, why would he go to South City to be an engineer for him?
Even if he knew how to build houses, this wasn't a guaranteed job!
"What's with that look? Do you think he won't agree? Then you're wrong. Just yesterday, I heard that his transfer order has come down. They've transferred him to Zhamajiang to build the country. He talked to me and said he wouldn't go, nor does he have the ability." Since Ma Quancai expressed his support for Zhang Liunian, he also became familiar with Zhao Zhijie and Yan Guoguo.
When the transfer order came down yesterday, Ma Quancai came to find Zhang Liunian, but he wasn't there, so he chatted with Zhao Zhijie about the matter.
Zhang Liunian's expression was solemn. It had only been a few days since they said they were going to investigate the Tang family, and before they could find any leverage, Uncle Ma's transfer order had come down. It seemed that even without the Qian family, the Tang family wouldn't let Ma Quancai sit peacefully.
"Uncle Ma is quitting?" I've heard of Zhamajiang, it's a place deep in the mountains and old forests, with few people and ignorant locals. Without great ability, it truly couldn't be built.
"Yes, you should let him help you. Besides, he has some comrades in South City, who might be able to help you." Zhao Zhijie was planning for Zhang Liunian, and Zhang Liunian knew his intentions.
"I'll go talk to Uncle Ma later. If he's willing, I'll make him my engineer."
"By the way, your Uncle Yan will be going to work in South City in a few days. If you have anything, you can find him at the South City Trade and Commerce Bureau in the future."
"Trade and Commerce Bureau? That's a promising position with a bright future." Zhang Liunian never expected Yan Guoguo's transfer to be to such a lucrative position.
You must know that the Trade and Commerce Bureau is in charge of the economy. Although the economy is still in its infancy and not very good, the economy of South City will definitely get better and better in the future. As long as it develops well here, it will be their achievement, and then this position will definitely be promoted.
"A good position? You're happy too early. I heard from Old Yan that the economy in South City is not good, and there is also a family called Tang. They were originally a noble family in South City. After the reform and opening up, they started to get involved in all walks of life, which led to the departure of the previous director." Zhao Zhijie heard these things from Yan Guoguo's mouth, and Yan Guoguo naturally heard them from the director who was about to leave.
"What a coincidence, the Tang family is my biggest rival in South City." It's the Tang family again, it seems they are destined to confront each other.
"These Tang people want to do everything, so it's no wonder they are your enemy. When Old Yan goes to South City, you can fight them together."
"Naturally. Uncle Zhao, does your factory rent out trucks? My sauce needs to be sold outside South City, and I need a few trucks for transportation. Do you rent them out?" Zhang Liunian thought about going to Jiangcheng to sell sauce soon, and the transportation trucks couldn't be few.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhao's factory was the least lacking in this.
"Of course. I'll talk to Old Yan later and get you the lowest price. That's all for now, I have to take Huabao to school." Zhao Zhijie said halfway, then saw Huabao dressed neatly and quickly ended the conversation, got up, hugged Huabao, and left.
Zhang Liunian sat for a while and planned to find Ma Quancai again. As soon as he got up, Jiang Qingqing stopped him, "Wait, your wound needs to be redressed."
Zhang Liunian remembered then that he had a knife wound on his back, "Please help me apply the medicine, Qingqing."
The wound was on his back, so he couldn't do it himself. He neatly took off his shirt, revealing his strong and powerful body.
Jiang Qingqing's beautiful little face instantly turned red at the sight of him boldly taking off his clothes, and she didn't dare to look.
"Did you apply it in the wrong place?" Zhang Liunian sensed that his wife's small hand seemed to be in the wrong place. He turned to look at Jiang Qingqing and met a big red face.
"Oh, oh, it was an accident just now." Jiang Qingqing realized that she had been distracted and hadn't applied the medicine to the wound. Her entire face turned red. She nervously placed her hand again, but when she saw the wound on her husband's back, her eyes instantly turned red.
"You hit hard, this wound is too deep. It's a shame I didn't send him to jail." Seeing the wound, Jiang Qingqing blamed herself for only focusing on guarding Zhang Liunian yesterday and forgetting to send that person to the police station, nor did she retrieve the motorcycle.
"It's okay, it's all in the past. Don't worry." Zhang Liunian reached out his large hand and held her small hand to comfort her.
"You only know how to say nice things. It's good to be alive with such an injury. You're not resting well at home, and you're running around everywhere. You didn't sleep at all yesterday, did you? Otherwise, your eyes wouldn't be so dark." Jiang Qingqing was very angry that her husband didn't take care of himself.
Did he know that she was really worried about something happening to him?
"I will rest well from now on, yesterday was indeed too busy." Zhang Liunian's large hand exerted a slight force, his expression sincere.
"My requirements aren't high, as long as we can live our lives. You don't need to work so hard." Jiang Qingqing put down the medicine bottle and circled Zhang Liunian's neck.
Zhang Liunian embraced his wife's waist and pulled her into his arms, "My body is good, and I can go a day or two without sleep. But I promise you I won't do this anymore. Don't be angry, it's bad for your health to be angry."
