Even through the screen, Jin Yang still felt a strong sense of intimacy with the children.
A warm smile surfaced in Jin Yang’s eyes as he repeatedly played the children’s video. He even paused to carefully observe their expressions.
Shao An cleared his throat and asked, “Mr. President, do I still need to go and settle this?”
Jin Yang looked at the online discussion about the children’s video and felt that it had been effective. He said, “No need.”
The study room was a little quiet. Shao An stole a glance at Jin Yang’s expression and guessed that he must be in a very good mood now.
After all, Jin Yang had never behaved so abnormally in the past. It seemed that Jin Yang would behave a little out-of-character when it came to Qiu Tong or the Qiu family.
Shao An sighed quietly. He had no power to complain about the president’s personal affairs. As a lowly official, he had no choice but to obey his orders. “Yes, Mr. President.”
Jin Yang narrowed his eyes and raised his head to meet his gaze. Shao An nearly choked and cleared his throat, hurriedly shifting his gaze elsewhere.
“Take a trip to S City. Find Qiu Tong and rent those modified helicopters from her.”
“The method of spraying locust pesticide using remote-controlled aircraft is very good. Although the locust plague in S City is under control, the locust plague in other cities in the country is still spreading.”
“Go and settle it…”
Jin Yang instructed in a mild tone. He personally wrote out a cheque for a considerable rental fee and handed it to Shao An.
Shao An looked at the numbers in shock and swallowed hard. He stole a glance at Jin Yang’s stern profile and asked softly, “Mr. President, is this because you heard that the children are in need of money recently? Is that why you want to use this method to give them some money?”
“Even so, isn’t this sum of money a little too much?”
“If this gets out, will other officials speculate about your relationship with Ms. Qiu Tong? Wouldn’t that be bad?”
Shao An spoke without thinking. The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He did not notice that Jin Yang’s expression was turning colder.
“Mr. President, what do you think…?”
A chill ran down Shao An’s spine. He finally stopped talking and looked at Jin Yang with an awkward smile.
Jin Yang tapped his slender fingers on the table and stared at Shao An. “How long have you been working for me?”
Shao An was so frightened that he stuttered and did not reply. Jin Yang raised his eyes and said in a light tone, “I think you have forgotten your place and status. Control your mouth. I hate noisy and nosy people the most, understand?”
“Yes, Sir!”
Shao An hurriedly grabbed the cheque and rushed out the door. After he left Jin Yang’s line of sight, he patted his chest and muttered, “I was nearly scared to death!”
The next morning, Qiu Tong woke up and checked her phone for messages. She was shocked to find hundreds of notifications.
“Support for single mother, Qiu Tong, you can do it!”
“Don’t be affected by the comments on the internet. You must live well with the children!”
“If you don’t mind, I have some children’s clothes for Little Yu to wear…”
Qiu Tong looked at the countless heartwarming comments and followed their description to find the three children’s clarification video. Her heart warmed.
At the dining table, Qiu Tong looked at the three children, who were waiting for her reaction. She raised the fruit juice in her hand and said gently, “Mommy was very touched to see the video you made for me. Thank you!”
Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu grinned.
Ding dong—
A knock on the door disrupted this warm moment. They turned their heads at the same time, confusion flashing across their eyes.
