Chapter 61: My Wife is Going to Be a Leader

“Mom~” An’an waved excitedly to Bai Ruojiao as soon as he saw her.

Bai Ruojiao’s cold face finally broke into a smile. She waved back to them.

This smile stunned the people around.

Zhao Sihai also saw the young man standing next to Bai Ruojiao.

He recognized the man. He was a staff member from the personnel department.

Looking at the man’s eyes, he knew what was going on. His eyes narrowed.

Then he smiled and walked over to Bai Ruojiao, “Why did you come here? How long have you been waiting?”

“Not long.” Bai Ruojiao reached out to take An’an and put him in the child’s seat, “Let’s go eat first.”

“Okay, I’ll do it.” Zhao Sihai took the bicycle and got on. He gestured to her, “Get on.”

Bai Ruojiao smiled and reached out to put her arms around his waist, sitting on the back seat.

The two of them completely ignored the man.

The young man: He was so angry he could explode.

After riding a distance, Zhao Sihai asked, “How did it go today? Was it smooth?”

Bai Ruojiao chuckled, “Guess~”

Hearing this, he knew that things must have gone smoothly. His mood immediately brightened.

“I guess it was successful. My Qiaoqiao is so capable. No one would want to let go of such a talent.”

Bai Ruojiao couldn’t help but smile. She pinched his waist.

But she missed. It was hard.

“You’re just saying that after the fact.”

“Hey, I had confidence from the beginning. I’m definitely not just saying that after the fact.”

“Heh, I don’t know who was frowning all night that night. Did you even think of comforting words?”

“Cough, no, that’s not true.” He mainly didn’t understand much about the economy and the market.

Moreover, the higher-ups had always emphasized preventing the capitalist path, and the factory was also very wary of these things. So, although he thought her idea was good, he couldn’t guarantee that it would be accepted.

It turned out that his wife’s vision was accurate.

“How is it? What are you mainly responsible for? When are you going to the factory?”

Bai Ruojiao smiled slightly, “Factory Director Liu asked me to be the deputy director of the Commodity Department. I report on duty in three days. We’ll rent a house and move these two days.”

“What?” The bicycle screeched to a halt.

Bai Ruojiao was caught off guard and hit her head against his back.

She quickly covered her forehead and patted him, “What are you doing!”

“Director? Did I hear that right?” Zhao Sihai turned around in surprise.

Bai Ruojiao rarely saw him like this. She couldn’t help but laugh and corrected him, “It’s deputy director.”

But Zhao Sihai was already ecstatic, “Haha, so that means my wife is going to be a leader? Haha, my wife is going to be a leader!”

“Hey, keep your voice down.” Hearing him shout, she saw the eyes around them attracted to them. Bai Ruojiao quickly blushed and pulled his clothes.

Zhao Sihai didn’t care what others thought. He reached out and grabbed her hand, kissing it, “Qiaoqiao, you’re amazing. Come on, we need to celebrate properly today.”

He said, pushing off with his leg, and the bicycle shot off like an arrow.

Bai Ruojiao’s lips twitched. She was glad she was fast, otherwise, she was afraid she would be reported for improper conduct.

But feeling his obvious joy, she couldn’t help but smile.

It was rare to see him so happy and carefree. Okay, fine.

The Qingyang Hotel was indeed much livelier than usual at noon.

They walked around for a while but couldn’t find a seat. They were thinking about just taking it to go and eat at the temporary dormitory.

Then they heard someone shout, “Fourth brother, Fourth brother, over here.”

Zhao Sihai turned his head and saw a young man wearing only a tank top with a towel draped around his neck waving at them.

But when the young man saw Bai Ruojiao, who had also turned around, he seemed to remember something and his expression changed. When he looked at Zhao Sihai, his face was full of guilt and annoyance.

Zhao Sihai didn’t get angry. He smiled and led Bai Ruojiao and An’an over.

He didn’t want the convoy people to interact with his wife before because he was afraid she would find out about the reselling.

Now that his wife was also involved in this, there was nothing to be afraid of.

But the convoy people didn’t know that Bai Ruojiao was the big client who did business with them, so the young man was afraid that Zhao Sihai would get angry.

“Uh, Fourth, Fourth brother.” The young man was a little intimidated.

Zhao Sihai smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “What are you doing here? Are you back?”

Then he introduced Bai Ruojiao, “This is a member of Tang Hua’s transport team, his name is Shao Kangtai.” He then said to the young man, “This is your fourth sister-in-law and your nephew.”

Hearing Zhao Sihai’s introduction and seeing that he didn’t seem to be angry, the young man relaxed. He regained his energetic look, his eyes shining brightly, “Fourth sister-in-law, An’an.”

It was obvious that he knew them.

Bai Ruojiao thought about how people would anonymously send packages to her from time to time.

At first, she thought it was her family, but later when she went home, she learned that her family didn’t know that her place in the countryside had been changed, and they wouldn’t have sent anything.

Now, she realized it must have been people from Tang Hua’s convoy.

So far, she had only met Tang Hua and the young man named Xiao Zhi.

“You know, Hai ge always mentions you. Thank you for taking care of us all these years. But don’t sneak around anymore. Come to our house for dinner sometime.”

Shao Kangtai looked at Zhao Sihai in surprise.

Zhao Sihai also nodded with a smile.

Shao Kangtai’s eyes lit up even brighter. It seemed that Hai ge had already told his wife, so he didn’t have to worry about being held accountable later.

“Yes, yes, yes, Fourth sister-in-law, you don’t know how much we wanted to see you and your nephew. If it wasn’t…”

“Cough.”

Hearing Zhao Sihai’s cough, Shao Kangtai’s words got stuck. Then he changed the subject, “We’re really too busy. We just came over.”

Bai Ruojiao looked at Zhao Sihai with a playful smile.

Zhao Sihai touched his nose awkwardly, “Let’s sit down and chat first. Xiao Kang, are you alone?”

“Yes, I didn’t go with the team this time. I came to the county today to…” He paused, “Buy some things.”

Bai Ruojiao saw his expression and knew that this “buying” wasn’t very legitimate.

She stood up, “You guys chat first. I’ll go order some food.”

“Mom, I’ll go too.” An’an quickly hugged her leg, looking at the uncle opposite him cautiously.

An’an had grown up in a world of scolding and isolation. He was naturally a timid and fearful child.

Even though the unfamiliar uncle seemed to be very familiar with his father, he was still a little uneasy.

“An’an, stay here and talk to your uncle and dad. Do you remember the big rabbit candy you ate for the first time? It was sent by your uncles. You have to thank your uncle.”

Although An’an only took one bite of the candy before Zhao’s mother took it away and gave it to Zhao Lao San.

But it was the first time An’an had eaten candy, so he remembered it vividly.

An’an immediately widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Shao Kangtai.

Shao Kangtai thought it was Zhao Sihai who told him. He scratched his head awkwardly, “It might not have been me who sent it.”

Sometimes they would buy things together and mail them in a package, and sometimes they would send them individually. They were all things they bought in other places when they were delivering goods.

So, they really didn’t know which gifts were sent by whom.
