"Indeed!" the young comrade said to Su Jiang with a shy smile, "It would be wonderful if you, President, could take me with you."
"Xiao Lu, I admire your confidence," Su Jiang made the decision on the spot, "Get the plane ready, we’re flying to the Northern District immediately."
"President, this... isn’t this inappropriate?" The high-level meeting requires an application to the higher-ups for approval before proceeding.
Last time, when the President suddenly flew back, it was shocking enough, the people of the Northern District would definitely be dissatisfied if it happened again.
Don’t offend Meng Xingzhi too badly.
"Why the fuss? If I tell you to go, you go." Su Jiang urged impatiently, "The top leaders will definitely welcome me this time." They value Xu Qigang’s life just as much as they do Su Jiang’s.
As long as the message he brought could save lives, the leadership wouldn’t mind such a minor issue.
Sheng Ning wearing her clothes to bed and falling asleep resulted in aching all over her body the next day, and with multiple kicks to her body, she was covered in large bruises overnight. She got up before dawn to wash and dress, looking at her face in the mirror, she felt relieved.
Thankfully, she had protected her face; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to face anyone today.
By the time she had washed and returned, the wake-up bugle had just sounded. Wu Youli, drowsy from sleep, sat up in bed and caught a glimpse of Sheng Ning, which instantly scared away her sleepiness.
"What happened to you? Your complexion looks so ill, you’re not sick, are you?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
"It’s nothing!" Sheng Ning wiped her face with a towel, the cold water refreshing her spirits and bringing some color back to her pale cheeks. "Just didn’t sleep well last night."
"Should you take a day off? I can go ask for you," Wu Youli looked at her worriedly. She always felt uneasy, knowing that Sheng Ning’s condition wasn’t as simple as lack of sleep but couldn’t figure out the specifics.
"No need," Sheng Ning shook her head.
After the morning’s exercise, Sheng Ning passed the General Union’s news board and saw it surrounded by an impassable crowd. She intended to walk past, but just then, Ji Xiaoling squeezed out from the crowd and greeted her happily.
"Sheng Ning! Something big has happened."
"What happened?" She stopped, curiously asking.
"Our team might be safe." Ji Xiaoling didn’t know where her confidence came from, but she pulled Sheng Ning to the front of the news board, where President Su Jiang’s announcement was prominently posted.
Su Yun expelled from the family?
Sheng Ning’s eyes widened, almost disbelieving what she saw. Could the Su Family afford that? Was the announcement posted for others to see, or was it intended for her?
"This must be a big scandal in an influential family, right? It might even benefit our team."
"Of course, it’s beneficial!" Sheng Ning nodded, clearer on the content after reading and squeezed out of the crowd.
Hai Lan dared to be so brazen only because of the Hai Family and Su Yun’s support. Now that Su Yun had been expelled from the family, it was uncertain if her own team’s position could be maintained; who would back her now?
"Excuse me, you are Comrade Sheng Ning, aren’t you?" A pleasant, deep male voice sounded from behind.
Sheng Ning turned around and saw a young man with a handsome appearance. "I am!"
The young man greeted her, "Hello, I’m Lu Haifeng from the Southern Strategic Administrative Department." After speaking, the man realized Sheng Ning was still looking at him with unfamiliar eyes and unconsciously smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself properly. I’m Lu Dabao’s brother, and I want to thank you for taking care of Dabao during this time."
