Chapter 50 -50: He Spent Almost the Entire Morning Dealing with Issues Related to Qiao Qingyu (First Update)

Qiao Qingyu was dumbstruck and speechless.

Indeed, a tigress is a tiger cub’s nemesis!

A naughty child can’t be coddled, a slap will guarantee their obedient behavior.

Xiao Hu was dragged home by Sister-in-law Li, and Qiao Qingyu entered the laboratory.

She inspected the seeds on the shelves and then sat down on a small stool, supporting her chin with both hands, pondering over her own breeding laboratory.

The plan had gone smoothly up to this point.

The reason she hadn’t left Xichuan was multifaceted.

But other reasons were not important, what mattered was the source of the seeds, and she truly wanted to transform Xichuan’s barren sands into vast fertile fields.

Moreover, to Uncle and the Qiao Family Team, no matter how many seeds she produced, they would automatically attribute them to He Xiuyu and the Tenghai Research Base behind him.

And it was the same here at the base; many things she did would also be linked to He Xiuyu.

In principle, He Xiuyu truly served as her shield.

Between Uncle, the base, and Xiaxi Commune, she was playing a game of timing.

Now that He Xiuyu had returned, whether she could make the source of the seeds official depended on whether her breeding laboratory would be approved.

Qiao Qingyu had no confidence in her heart.

She somewhat regretted having brought up divorce with He Xiuyu.

But there was no helping it, it was just a conversation that got out of hand; in reality, all she wanted was to repay the money.

Qiao Qingyu left the laboratory and caught a glimpse, out of the corner of her eye, of a jar of face cream next to the kang cabinet.

It was the most popular cosmetic of the era, also the favorite among the local girls.

She paused for a moment, walked over, and picked up the face cream; it was new, still sealed.

Placed at the edge of her kang cabinet, it wasn’t in a prominent position but was still easily noticeable by her, undeniably, this was a gift from He Xiuyu.

Qiao Qingyu felt a complex and indescribable feeling in her heart.

Her expression was complicated, but she had to admit, He Xiuyu was not only highly intelligent but also had high emotional intelligence. With such subtle and unobtrusive gestures, which girl could resist such temptation?

But did she really want to be He Xiuyu’s wife?

Qiao Qingyu shook her head, resolutely nipping the thought in the bud; it wasn’t that she feared Su Yunyao, nor that He Xiuyu was bad, but the relationship between the Qiao and He families was too awkward.

Her birth mother had once been betrothed to He Shan as a child bride, later sold to Qiao Zhicai by He Xiuyu’s grandmother; after fighting battles for a decade, Han Xianglan was He Shan’s most beautiful dream.

Therefore, He Shan had deep feelings for Han Xianglan, or else he wouldn’t have nearly severed ties with his own mother.

So, you tell me, how broad-minded would she need to be to become Meng Siqi’s daughter-in-law?

Better to forget it.

But she had to acknowledge He Xiuyu’s kindness and would later find a way to resolve their marriage without hurting feelings.

Qiao Qingyu opened the face cream; her skin had been very well moisturized lately because of frequent visits to the laboratory, but she scooped a little to apply on the back of her hand, and it was fragrant…

Qiao Qingyu was unaware of the smile that crept onto her brow; indeed, it was quite pleasant to be treated with such care.

Currently, the Tenghai Research Base had over two thousand scientific researchers, more than eight thousand workers, along with other positions, making a total of over ten thousand staff in the system.

As the person responsible for overseeing both scientific research and production, He Xiuyu left Rongrong in the office next door and started his work.

There was a meeting at nine o’clock.

He had to finish reading the biweekly reports from each department before then, organize the content for the meeting, and devise the next steps for the research plans.

And there were many, many other things.

He was truly busy.

Working against the clock busy.

What he hadn’t expected was that he would spend nearly the entire morning dealing with issues related to Qiao Qingyu.

First, the base’s logistics staffer, Chef Song, came to plead his case, hoping that Liu Qiao Wen could go home early in consideration of her child and elderly mother, asserting that she recognized her mistakes and promised to reform…

Then the loved one of Zhu Linhai, the person in charge of the heavy work workshop production line, knocked on the door, her eyes teary, begging He Xiuyu to have a proper talk with his wife Qiao Qingyu and to stop singling out Zhu Mingli. Her daughter was now jobless and afraid even to step outside her door…

Next, the chief accountant of the base knocked on the door. Her name was Yu Jing, who oversaw the base’s finance and, while kind and friendly, was also upright. The people at the base respected her much, affectionately calling her Sister Yu.

She reported to He Xiuyu about the compensation payment of two thousand yuan that Qiao Qingyu had taken from the base because of the contract. The base’s funds were earmarked for specific uses, and this money was originally allocated for scientific research, but Old Wei had decided, and she had had no choice but to give the two thousand yuan to him.

She and Old Wei were equals in rank, so there was no question of skipping the chain of command to report the issue.

He Xiuyu put down his pen and concealed the astonishment within, asking only, “According to regulations, should this money be compensated?”

Yu Jing smiled gently and said, “Chief Engineer He, according to the rules, the loss should indeed be compensated to Qiao Qingyu, but since the money is for scientific research, it required your approval. Old Wei said it was a loan, to be repaid once the administrative funds arrived, so I agreed. I share the responsibility in this matter too, I need to reflect on it…”

Just as she spoke, another knock on the office door came. Without waiting for He Xiuyu to tell them to come in, the door was pushed open. Shen Haoze entered, looking quite distressed.

Yu Jing placed a few documents on He Xiuyu’s desk that needed his signature.

As she walked past Shen Haoze, she whispered, “Haoze, take your time, there’s no need to rush.”

Shen Haoze nodded and took a deep breath. Meanwhile, Yu Jing quickly left the office, closing the door firmly behind her.

Turning the corner in the hallway, she saw Su Yunyao heading her way, a flash of understanding in her eyes. She beamed, “Yunyao, are you heading to Chief Engineer He’s office? Haoze is there.”

Su Yunyao raised the files in her hand, “These are for Chief Engineer He’s signature. The president of the Wulong Group from M country is coming to visit Xichuan, and the headquarters assigned me to assist the Xichuan department in hosting these prospecting foreign investors and Chinese expatriates.”

“I’ve heard about it too, Yunyao. With your excellent language skills, you’re the perfect person for the job. Do it well; if you can secure a few investments for our base, you’ll be a true heroine,” she said encouragingly.

Su Yunyao curled the corner of her mouth, modestly responding, “Sister Yu, I’ll do my best.”

At that moment, Shen Haoze was still unable to control his temper, and he blurted out to He Xiuyu about Qiao Qingyu enlisting the base’s technicians to help repair machinery for the County Mechanical Factory.

“Xiu Yu, your wife is causing too much trouble; she actually managed to drag our base’s engineers out there. You have to take control; if you don’t, this will soon be out of hand.”

It had never occurred to He Xiuyu that, in the span of twenty minutes, all he would hear about was Qiao Qingyu’s affairs.

He furrowed his brows and asked Shen Haoze, “Did Qiao Qingyu directly ask you for manpower?”

“Not exactly,” Shen Haoze answered, “She first approached Director Xie, who then went to Old Wei, and ultimately, Old Wei came to me. I didn’t know at the time that your wife intended to use the County Mechanical Factory’s equipment for plowing fields, so I dispatched two technicians to the county.”
