Chapter 349 Your vision is too far-sighted; I'm finding it hard to keep up!
If Qiao Manman were here, she would definitely say, "Don't talk nonsense! You came to Daqingshan with the intention of swallowing up the treasure for yourself."
Even when Chen Junyan came here, it was at the private behest of the former deputy brigade commander, just so that he could get a share of the treasure after it was found.
Director Zhang smiled enigmatically: "Comrade Meng, even Commander Chen couldn't find this treasure. What makes you so confident that you can find it?"
"I..." Yes, what does she have to rely on? Does she have incredible luck?
Just thinking about those four words made Meng Peiyu want to laugh. If she were truly blessed with extraordinary luck, she wouldn't be trapped in the police station crying out to heaven in vain, nor would her family have fallen apart.
Thinking of this, Meng Peiyu asked, "Where is Li Wanwan?"
Director Zhang said with a strange expression, "Go work as a nanny at the home of the committee director!"
"Director Suo?" Meng Peiyu dug her fingers into her palm.
"Yes!" Director Zhang nodded.
"Great, that's wonderful!" Her dog had actually turned on its owner.
Meng Peiyu lowered her head, her eyes fierce. She raised her fingers slightly, then clenched them into a fist.
Thinking that she couldn't just listen to Director Zhang's words, she had to return to Kyoto and investigate the matter thoroughly.
Once Director Zhang was certain that Meng Peiyu wouldn't speak again, he got up and called Brigade Commander He.
They were also stunned when they learned of the treasure in Daqingshan. They instructed Director Zhang to keep a close eye on the people and summoned the former deputy brigade commander.
With a serious expression, he asked, "Did you give Chen Junyan a mission to find treasure in Daqingshan?"
"Ah! Ah?" The first "ah" is an affirmation. The second "ah" expresses surprise.
If Commander He hadn't asked, he would have forgotten about what happened back then.
Now that it's being brought up, I suddenly can't quite remember why I sent Chen Junyan to Daqingshan.
"Yiheng, my mind is blank. Could I have been hypnotized by the enemy?!"
Yuan Guanlin looked panicked and was covered in sweat: "I...I...I shouldn't have leaked any company secrets, right?"
This is really serious.
Commander He quickly summoned higher authorities to investigate and comforted him, saying, "Don't be afraid, tell the leaders the truth. I believe you are not someone who betrayed the country!"
Yuan Guanlin was taken away, along with his wife and two children. The matter was handled discreetly, preventing any panic within the family compound.

"The green train passed through mountain after mountain, and even after all this time, I still think of it. Do the white clouds hear of your persistence? They laugh at you, they laugh at me..."
Qiao Manman gazed at the farmland and ponds along the road, watching the blooming lotus flowers, and hummed a little tune with modified lyrics.
While she was drinking water, Xia Zhao asked, "Sister-in-law, you sang so beautifully! Did you write this song? It feels so special, it calms me down!"
Qiao Manman smiled and said, "Just humming nonsense!"
People around him praised, "You have such a good voice, why don't you audition for a performing arts troupe? Once you sing this song, you'll definitely become a star!"
Qiao Manman thanked her, saying, "You flatter me!"
"Girl, you're married? Why are you getting married at such a young age? Go apply to the film studio, you'll definitely get a role."
Then the whole nation will be able to enjoy your singing!
Qiao Manman's ears were burning: "Your vision is too far-sighted, I can't quite handle it!"
A group of people laughed heartily, and after a whistle, the announcement came over the loudspeaker that the train was about to arrive at its destination.
As Qiao Manman packed her luggage, she heard Xia Zhao ask in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, are you reluctant to leave Guangdong Province?"
"No way!" That place was just a smokescreen; her real destination was always the Jiangzhe region.
Xia Zhao said "Oh," feeling guilty for having spoken out of turn and causing Qiao Manman to change her plans.
Qiao Manman laughed and patted her arm: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things!"
It's nothing really, just two small bundles. Just wrap them up casually, sling them over your shoulder, and you're good to go when you get off the train.
Summers in Zhejiang Province are slightly cooler than those in Guangdong Province, but they still reach 30 or 40 degrees Celsius.
Qiao Manman tucked the Frost Jade into her pocket before daring to walk under the blazing sun. They found a guesthouse to stay at and immediately took Xia Zhao to the public bathhouse for a bath.
Emerging from inside, both of them felt refreshed. Qiao Manman's skin was glowing white, while Xia Zhao's skin appeared even darker and more lustrous.
Looking at her with envy, he asked, "Sister-in-law, how come you don't get tanned?"
"Ah, this..." Of course, it's stealing fruit from the space; many of them have whitening effects.
"My grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and he knows how to make whitening cream!"
Although it was an excuse, it was quite convincing. Xia Zhao believed it immediately and even envied her for having such a powerful grandfather.
"Well, I can adjust it too. I'll set it up for you when we get back!"
Xia Zhao grinned: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"That's more like it! Don't be so polite! Come on, come on, I'll treat you to dinner!"
He then took her to the West Lake, to the restaurant where he had eaten before, and ordered a few of their signature dishes based on the waiter's recommendations.
One of them was West Lake Vinegar Fish, which made her avoid it like the plague.
"Zhaozhao, I heard this is really famous, you should try it!"
Qiao Manman picked up a piece of vinegar fish for Xia Zhao and then reached for the Longjing shrimp next to it.
Without hesitation, she put the fish in vinegar sauce into her mouth, and then...
His face was a mix of shock and disbelief, and he looked like he wanted to vomit but didn't dare to, which made Qiao Manman laugh out loud.
"How is it? Isn't it delicious?" Xia Zhao gritted his teeth and swallowed the fish, then buried his head in the shrimp in the bowl.
Qiao Manman poured her a glass of water, which Xia Zhao drank in two gulps before she felt better.
Looking at Qiao Manman, he hesitated, then asked, "Sister-in-law, are you doing this on purpose?"
"No way! I just heard that fish in vinegar sauce is delicious, so I specially ordered it for you to try!"
Xia Zhao was certain that Qiao Manman had done it on purpose.
"Alright, alright, if you don't like it, then don't eat it. We'll pack it up and take it with us later!" Qiao Manman took out a lunchbox from her canvas bag, indicating that she was fully prepared.
Xia Zhao couldn't even get angry. What could she do with such a mischievous sister-in-law? She could only spoil her!
However, besides the fish in vinegar sauce, the shrimp, Dongpo pork, chestnut chicken, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and fish head tofu were all quite good. It's just that we ordered too much and couldn't finish it.
Qiao Manman was prepared; she packed the leftovers into lunchboxes. One, two, three—not a single bite was wasted.
Xia Zhao and I left the state-run hotel, leaning against the wall, watching the sunset cast a golden glow on the lake.
The swaying willow branches seemed to be saying, "Welcome!"
Qiao Manman took her around for more than half an hour, then they went back to the guesthouse to rest. The next day, they went straight to the medicinal herb market.
This time, the two bought more, spending a total of 5,600 yuan in one go.
Fearing trouble, Qiao Manman asked the local armed forces department for help. The group escorted the medicinal herbs to the post office to arrange for shipment, which alerted the post office leaders.
They promised to expedite the process and even arranged for someone to accompany the vehicle.
Qiao Manman praised the other party for handling things steadily and gave him a red envelope in private, along with some local specialties from Guangdong Province.
Having completed another task, Qiao Manman decided to go out and relax. She took Xia Zhao to a department store and bought a lot of silk, tea, lotus flower pastries, and Ding Sheng cakes.
