The farewell ceremony in the army was lively and touching. It was clearly Jiang Hao who was retiring from the army, but before he could cry, many soldiers burst into tears.
Qiao Xinwei's eyes were red several times, with tears welling up in her eyes. Looking at those young soldiers, she thought that Jiang Hao also joined the army at that age, and it has not been easy until now. She thought, today
He was about to leave, and he was definitely reluctant to leave, but in front of others, he still looked that cool and serious.
Before leaving, a voice suddenly stopped Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao stopped and looked back, it was Xiao Zhengying.
Qiao Xinwei picked up Xi Bao and said, "Do we need to avoid it?"
"No need."
Xiao Zhengying arrived quickly. She was wearing a military uniform, with a few dignified bangs under a military cap and a knee-length skirt that covered her hips. She was both heroic and feminine at the same time.
Xiao Zhengying is also older. Such a delicate and elegant successful woman was delayed because of her love for Jiang Hao. She once thought that no woman would accept and tolerate Jiang Hao's career, so she followed this belief in her heart.
He was so persistent that he proudly rejected all the men around him who had development opportunities and waited for Jiang Hao with all his heart.
However, this woman appeared. She stood beside Jiang Hao neither humble nor overbearing, holding their son in her arms. Even though she had been hurt so much, she still smiled like the wind.
Xiao Zhengying looked at Jiang Hao, "How is your health?"
"Good."
"Brigadier Tang said you want to go to the procuratorate?"
"Yeah, I'll go report after I recover from my injuries."
Xiao Zhengying lowered her head slightly and said, "Okay, very good Jiang Hao," she raised her head again and asked directly, "Can I talk to your wife alone?"
Jiang Hao said, "There's no need. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly." He had a very serious expression and a tough tone, even a little aggressive.
Qiao Xinwei pulled Jiang Hao's sleeve and signaled him not to be so serious, "It's okay, haha, don't be offended, Minister Xiao, that's how virtuous he is."
Xiao Zhengying smiled awkwardly, "I don't mean any harm, don't worry."
"Okay, Jiang Hao, you take Xi Bao there for a walk first, and we can just chat for a while."
Jiang Hao looked at Qiao Xinwei. Qiao Xinwei looked very confident and had already put Xi Bao down. "Well, call me if you have anything. I won't go far." These words seemed to warn Xiao Zhengying not to talk nonsense.
.
Jiang Hao pulled Xi Bao to the basketball court nearby. The backs of father and son were very similar, and their walking postures were also very similar, one big and one small.
Watching them walk away, Qiao Xinwei turned around and asked, "Minister Xiao, what do you want to say to me?"
Xiao Zhengying smiled kindly, "Haha, it's actually nothing, but I've always been curious about what kind of woman can make Jiang Hao insist on changing his career."
"Have we met before?" Qiao Xinwei asked in confusion. She didn't think Xiao Zhengying would forget a chance meeting a few years ago.
"I'm not talking about appearance. I think that a woman who can make Jiang Hao so persistent must have a shining point, and your shining point is your forbearance and calmness."
Qiao Xinwei was stunned for a moment. She seemed to be praising me, but why was she praising me?
"In the years since your divorce, my colleagues in the army have all noticed that Jiang Hao was in pain, but he had to endure this pain in order to solve the case. He worked day and night, and once he fainted during a meeting and suffered from stomach problems.
Even when he is tired, he works really hard, even an iron man sometimes falls."
"To be honest, we all admire him for being able to sacrifice so much to solve the case. Of course, as a woman, I admire you even more. When men make great achievements, it is often women who sacrifice more."
Qiao Xin only remained silent. She felt that Xiao Zhengying was a woman with great wisdom, independent and proud. She was no worse than any man, and even stronger than him. There must be a woman like her who was better than her.
It takes a strong man to conquer.
"Qiao Xinwei, I have nothing to hide from you. I like Jiang Hao and have done so for many years. I used to think that a man like him must have the best woman to match him, so I have been silently working hard to become
The best person. But?? Haha, when he got divorced and saw him smoking in pain, I realized that there is no match or mismatch in love. If I were you, I would definitely not be able to find one by myself.
I gave birth to a child alone. Character determines everything. With my character, I definitely cannot do it. So, I really admire you, and only you can bear so many things silently."
"I think I can convince myself now to accept the kindness of other men. Because of you, I will never be able to enter Jiang Hao's heart. Only you are the most suitable person for Jiang Hao. Can you forgive him again?"
, is his blessing, I sincerely bless you."
Xiao Zhengying stretched out her hand to show her goodwill. Qiao Xin only smiled and extended her hand to shake it, "Thank you, and I hope you can find a lover soon."
Jiang Hao couldn't wait for a long time. He accompanied Xi Bao to the basketball court, but his eyes kept glancing here from time to time.
"Jiang Hao, I have something else to do and I'll leave first. Have a nice trip. Goodbye, Xi Bao."
Xi Bao waved his little hand politely and said, "Goodbye, aunt."
On the way home, Jiang Hao asked what they talked about, and Qiao Xinwei just said: "She wishes us eternal happiness, and I wish her an early marriage."
"Are you so direct?"
"What if?"
Jiang Hao didn't ask any more questions. He was not interested in topics between women. As long as he saw her happy smile, he would be satisfied.
——
Shengshi Planning Department, on the first day of work, everyone is here, but the heart has not been recovered yet. Of course, the first day of work is quite relaxed, there are no important tasks.
It's just that Qiao Xinwei asked for leave on the first day, which gave Li Qianwei a headache. They were friends in private, but in the company, she was still Qiao Xinwei's direct superior. The headache for her was not that Qiao Xinwei asked for leave on the first day of work.
But I am afraid of rumors from my colleagues outside.
Hong Shi was already criticizing Sang and Huai, "Some people are just awesome and say that they are newcomers. I think they have better benefits than us old people. Even on the first day of work, we can be as happy as we want. Hey, Shen Yanqing, what are you saying about her?
Could it be intentional?"
Shen Yanqing said: "Minister Zhu asked her to entertain the distinguished guests."
Hong Shi: "Do you believe it? I think she just hugged Minister Zhu's lap. Why does she go to Minister Zhu every time she asks for leave? Her direct boss is Team Leader Li."
Shen Yanqing: "Then why do you care so much?!"
Hong Shi: "We are in the same group. She is holding us back as a group. At the end of the month, the assessment bonus is less. Who is to blame? Oh, you are all rich and don't care about this bonus, but I do!"
I don't know when the office hall fell silent. As soon as Hong Shi finished speaking, she felt that everyone was surprisingly quiet. She had a bad premonition and felt that it was cool and cool behind her.
Hong Shi seemed to have a premonition of something. She turned around slowly. Sure enough, Li Qianwei was standing behind her, looking at her solemnly, making her feel frightened. "Team Leader Li, I...I..."
"Why are you stuttering? Didn't you just speak smoothly? Continue."
Hong Shi lowered her head directly. She knew that she was no match for Li Qianwei. If she wanted to stay here, she had to endure it. She also hoped that her uncle would one day take over the power and make her the team leader.
Li Qianwei asked in return, "Stop talking?"
Hong Shi's head was lowered, and she didn't dare to raise her head at all, let alone speak.
Li Qianwei said in front of everyone: "It has only been a few days. The minister specially invited everyone to dinner and explained his relationship with Qiao Xinwei. Qiao Xinwei's husband is his savior. Even if he favors Qiao Xinwei,
Shouldn’t you?! Aren’t you also relying on your uncle’s support to stay in the planning department?”
Hong Shi couldn't refute a word.
"The atmosphere in the office is ruined by gossips like you. You gossip all day long and talk about others behind their backs all day long. If you have this spare time, why not write more plans? Yours
Your planning level is really not as good as Qiao Xinwei's. Don't you call yourself an old man? Then please show your skills as an old planning man!"
Li Qianwei got angry at Hong Shi on the first day she came here. She was really angry. She had endured it for a long time. She said to everyone again: "Don't chirp with her when you have nothing to do. The more you chirp, the bonus at the end of the month will be smaller."
Did you hear that?!"
"I heard it."
"We all work, don't get together!"
Li Qianwei turned back and glared at Hong Shi again. Hong Shi raised his head slightly, then quickly lowered it, "Hong Shi, if you want to stay and work here, you have to stick to your duties."
"Yes." Hong Shi was so frightened that her voice trembled slightly, but the more this happened, the more dissatisfied she felt, and the more she felt that there was something wrong with Qiao Xin only.
Sitting back in her seat, Hong Shi became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't swallow it. So, she sent a WeChat message to her uncle - "Uncle, I can't stay in the planning department anymore. Please make other arrangements for me."
OK?"
Soon, Ge Jun replied to her - "Either stay in the planning department and help me keep an eye on Zhu Zirui, or go home, the company is completely missing you."
Hong Shi was so angry that she really wanted to smash her phone. Li Qianwei was guarding her like a thief. She couldn't detect Zhu Zirui's movements here, okay?
Li Qianwei returned to the office and looked at the computer. Zhu Zirui's profile picture was flashing. She clicked on it and said, "Team Leader Li is so majestic." There was a scared expression at the end.
She smiled at the computer. This was the first time Zhu Zirui had sent her a message outside of work. She quickly replied, "Learn from you." She added a worshiping expression at the end.
It's not that she didn't feel it. After the annual meeting, Zhu Zirui seemed to be pursuing her. He took out his mobile phone and looked through the WeChat chat. During the Chinese New Year period, they chatted at the same time every night and sometimes shared some interesting information.
things, or good music, and sometimes just chatting.
"No way, is he really chasing me?" She was shocked by her idea.
