Chapter 138: Communication
Qiu Tong opened the door and saw Shao An standing outside in his uniform. She asked in surprise, “Didn’t you go on a mission?”
Song Yan had once said that Shao An was going on a rather important mission. Could it be that it had already ended?
Qiu Tong was silently speculating in her heart. Hearing her words, Shao An was stunned for a moment. “How did you know?”
Shao An recalled that he had once told Mayor Shen about his whereabouts at the kindergarten award ceremony. He mistakenly thought the Mayor must have mentioned this to Qiu Tong. He nodded and replied, “I came here this time to borrow a modified remote-controlled aircraft from you. We want to use it on a large scale in the neighboring city.”
“Of course, we will pay you to rent it. We won’t let you work for nothing.”
“This is a cheque. If you don’t think the amount is suitable, I can go back and discuss it with my boss…”
Shao An handed over the cheque and quietly observed the change in Qiu Tong’s expression. He originally thought that she would be surprised or excited to see such a large sum of money, but on the contrary, Qiu Tong looked up at Shao An with a strange expression. She did not agree.
Did she think that it was too little money?
Shao An was surprised. Meanwhile, Qiu Tong was just thinking that it was all thanks to Song Yan that she was able to access the aircraft at the abandoned military base in the first place.
Without Song Yan’s help, she would not have been able to do all this, much less resolve the public controversy surrounding the locust plague and locust pesticide.
“I won’t accept your money. I haven’t even thanked you for this.”
“If you need the aircraft, feel free to use it…”
Shao An looked at the cheque in a daze and asked in confusion, “Thank us?”
Qiu Tong nodded, reminding Shao An of the things to take note of when using the aircraft. “He should know this. The weight of the pesticide cannot exceed the limit. Otherwise, he must strengthen the container first. I had no suitable parts so I didn’t do it.”
“Alright.”
Shao An agreed but he was thinking to himself. The president knew how to repair planes?
And how did Qiu Tong know this?!
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
Shao An saw that the matter was settled. Before leaving, he stopped and turned to look at Qiu Tong. He asked, “Do you have anything to say to my boss?”
Qiu Tong frowned and asked in confusion, “We meet often. What’s there to talk about?”
Shao An was rather surprised. Mr. Jin Yang had been staying in the capital to handle government affairs over the recent period…
Immediately, Shao An heard the sound of television coming from the villa. He suddenly thought that Qiu Tong had said that she often saw Jin Yang on the news. He did not ponder further and just said, “My boss will come to S City in 10 days’ time.”
Qiu Tong nodded, her face completely impassive.
Seeing that she did not look forward to his return at all, Shao An strode out of the villa in resignation.
He sat in the car and drove towards the military base, quietly feeling sorry for Jin Yang. Although the president didn’t say it, Shao An realized that Jin Yang would repeatedly watch Qiu Tong and the children’s videos to relieve his longing. But what about Qiu Tong?
She did not miss Jin Yang at all. She was living very happily with the three children.
“Sigh, I’m afraid boss will be disappointed!”
Shao An muttered to himself and shook his head as he looked at the scenery outside the window. The corners of his lips could not help but curl into a smile.
