“My wife called me, how wonderful!” Huo Beijiang murmured to himself, then asked, “What did she say? You answered the call?”
“She didn’t say much, just looking for you,” Lu Jin quickly reassured, “Boss, don’t worry, I absolutely didn’t mention that you were under arrest.”
Huo Beijiang’s handsome face darkened a bit, feeling like punching someone.
“Alright, I got it.” It seemed his wife had arrived home, he would call her when he got back to the office.
“By the way, boss, why are you always so cold to Senior Shi Ying?” Lu Jin was a bit confused. While the boss would usually give Shi Ying the cold shoulder, it wasn’t as obvious as today.
They graduated from the same school, same year, same class.
Mentioning Shi Ying, the smile on Huo Beijiang’s face disappeared, and his eyes narrowed threateningly. He rested his right elbow on the window of the car, casually massaging his temple.
“Has my marriage leave been approved yet?” The Transocean Group seemed like a private enterprise on the surface, but the waters ran deep behind the scenes! With all the external forces getting involved, the restrictions were also increasing. Plus, Huo Beijiang’s file was still at the National Security University, he would need approval from not only the Sihai Group for his leave, but also from the higher authorities to get married.
Originally, he, Tu Cheng, and Tu Lou just wanted to earn some pocket money, they never thought they would expand their business to such an extent, “Yes!”
“Is it because of my poor performance, or my insufficient age, or lack of seniority?”
“All are enough! There’s no one more suitable than you.”
Chen Qi, who was sitting next to him, kept nodding. There were plenty of unmarried young men, they were never short of bachelors. Although the captain’s age was not large, it was definitely not small either.
By rights, approval should have come a long time ago.
“Then why hasn’t the approval been given?” Huo Beijiang glanced at Lu Jin and was somewhat unwilling to explain to him.
This son was too foolish… if he were his own, he’d have to spank him eight times a day.
Lu Jin displayed an incredulous expression, then turned into bafflement, and finally settled on anger. “Too bad! How could she do this?”
Chen Qi still didn’t understand, unaware of the riddle they were playing.
“What are you guys talking about?”
Huo Beijiang flicked a finger against Chen Qi’s head, “Just drive, and drive faster. Are you a tortoise or a rabbit driving so slow?”
Chen Qi glanced at the speedometer, a hundred yards per hour, he looked aggrieved.

The Snow Eagle Office was just next to the Transocean Group, only about an hour’s drive from the port.
As the convoy arrived at the gate of Snow Eagle’s office, the gate was opened from afar.

Huo Beijiang didn’t wait for the car to stop, agilely jumping out of the car and strode towards the communication room. Along the way, drawing surprised gazes.
“Ca… Captain, hello.”
“Captain, you are back.”
Huo Beijiang nodded, picked up the phone and dialed directly. The phone that he had asked Ying Jiuming to install, he got the number when he was still in the provincial city.

It rained all night yesterday, making the leaves lush and green the next day. When Nan Fei was washing her face and brushing her teeth by the well, her right eye kept twitching. She checked the calendar several times and made sure it was the 27th of August.
Tomorrow was the day when the tragedy in her past life occurred. It was one day short.
After breakfast, her restlessness grew. After her parents went to set up their stall in the town, she decided to stick with her little brother all the time.
She just couldn’t put her mind at ease.
“Nan Fei.” Jiang Yang held a plastic bottle in his hand, his pant legs rolled up high, revealing a patch of skin that was whiter than a girl’s.
“What are you going to do?” Nan Fei jumped when she saw the basin in his hand.
“Catching fish.” Jiang Yang held up the basin in his hand, looking at her expectantly.
Because of the heavy rain yesterday, the river water on the west side of the village had flooded over the upstream reservoir. Swarms of fish, shrimp, and crabs were washed down, with all the village men and children carrying baskets and nets to catch fish.
The fish and shrimp were all wild now, plentiful and easy to catch, they could net a large barrelful in one morning.
Every household was like it was the New Year, the children loved to play in the water and they were swarming after the adults to join in the fun.
