Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Zeng Zhenqing wouldn't try to persuade him anymore.

"By the way, shouldn't Xiao Su meet Zheng Lanying? She's about to collapse now."

"Is it necessary?"

"Why don't you go back and ask Xiao Su's opinion? I noticed Xiao Su seems to have some sympathy for her."

"My wife is just soft-hearted. She always feels that Zheng Lanying ended up on the farm because of her; otherwise, a lot of things wouldn't have happened."

Tan Shaoting spoke dismissively, but he was alert in his heart.

"I'll go back and ask my wife's opinion. Personally, I don't want her to meet that troublesome woman."

Zeng Zhenqing just laughed; they had investigated all of this. What Tan Shaoting said was also true.

Hearing a knock on the door, Zeng Zhenqing stood up. "I'm heading back now."

It was Cao Mingjun who entered, and he was very dissatisfied with the arrangement for the current task.

They were all sharp, and Zeng Zhenqing could tell, so he sat back down. However, he couldn't let unnecessary factors create a rift between him and Tan Shaoting.

"What's the matter?"

"Boss, I wanted to ask about the arrangement for this task." All of his subordinates were excluded from it.

"You're asking? What qualifications do you have?"

When Tan Shaoting spoke, the atmosphere in the office became very tense.

Zeng Zhenqing laughed internally; this one was still young. Even if it was true, speaking so bluntly wasn't good. But it was quite exhilarating to hear.

Cao Mingjun was stunned by the question, his face flushed, uncertain of what to say.

"Is there anything else?"

After saluting, Cao Mingjun left.

"Xiao Tan, you were too blunt."

"If I don't say it bluntly, I'm afraid they won't understand."

After coming out, Cao Mingjun's face was expressionless, but inside, he was seething with anger.

He really thought too highly of himself, just an immature kid, daring to talk to him like that, as if he was nothing.

Cao Mingjun sneered. Wasn't there still a future? He hoped that kid would be that tough later on.

At noon, Tan Shaoting went home. Su Yuanyuan made steamed egg custard with three-flavor sauce for the three kids, and it looked very nice.

"Mommy, the shrimp is delicious."

"Alright, we'll have fried river shrimp tomorrow."

As long as the kids wanted to eat, Su Yuanyuan would find a way. Besides, she still had a lot of green shrimp in her space.

When Tan Shaoting came back, there was no meal for him, so Su Yuanyuan made him pancakes with beef and egg drop soup.

"Yuanyuan, Zheng Lanying wants to see you. Zeng Zhenqing said she's almost at her breaking point now."

"See me? What for?"

"Yuanyuan, today Zeng Zhenqing mentioned that you seem to sympathize with Zheng Lanying."

Su Yuanyuan immediately understood Tan Shaoting's point.

She nodded, "Alright. I'll go over this afternoon. I'll drop the kids with you."

"Okay."

He didn't rest at home after his meal and happened to run into Kang Jing.

"Boss."

Tan Shaoting didn't even give her a glance and left on his own.

Kang Jing stood there watching him, with an amused smile. Wasn't he quite the character?

Not paying attention was actually quite good, wasn't it? It made things challenging.

She leisurely went to work. After all, being close meant more chances to meet later, and she was a doctor; there would definitely be interactions in the future.

After Tan Shaoting left, Su Yuanyuan walked around the room with the three kids. It was too hot outside, and it wasn't good to sleep right after eating, so they just turned around in the room for a few minutes.

Once the kids were taking their nap, Su Yuanyuan lay down beside them. Honestly, it was really hot now. If the kids weren't so young, she would definitely get a fan.

At two-thirty, she woke up the three kids. After washing their faces and eating some fruit, she took them to find their dad.

On the way, she encountered a few people and just greeted them with a smile.

She knew many people privately said she looked down on others.

Su Yuanyuan didn't care about the rumors at all. Let them say whatever they want; she just lived her own life.

In her past life, she was always an oddity in others' eyes. They said she was too independent.

In fact, she never felt anything was wrong. Wasn't living her own life good?

The four of them arrived at Tan Shaoting's office, and the three kids ran over to circle around him.

"You kids behave and wait for Mommy here. Don't make trouble for Daddy."

"Okay."

Zeng Zhenqing already knew that Su Yuanyuan would come in the afternoon to see Tan Shaoting, so Xiao Chin was waiting there.

The two of them arrived at the interrogation room one after the other. Su Yuanyuan knew someone was eavesdropping from the next room.

Before long, Zheng Lanying was brought in. Looking at the haggard girl, Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel emotional.

She got straight to the point, "You wanted to see me? Zheng Lanying, we aren't that familiar, are we?

And why do you want to see me?"

"Su Yuanyuan? Su Yuanyuan, why have you become more and more beautiful?"

Listening to the girl's off-topic remark, Su Yuanyuan was speechless. What kind of question was that?

"You just wanted to see how I'm doing? Well, you've seen it now. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. After all, I'm not as leisurely as you; I have three kids to take care of."

Looking at Su Yuanyuan like this, Zheng Lanying was once again filled with jealousy.

"Su Yuanyuan, why?"

"Why what?"

"Why is it that even the fortunate chance of living again isn't as happy as you, a village girl with nothing?"

Su Yuanyuan smiled, "You've been entangled in this question all this time?"

"Yes, I'm entangled in this question."

"Then I'll tell you, it's because my attitude towards life is earnest. No matter where I am, I can live well. Even when I was abandoned, I could manage my days.

It's simply because my attitude is right, and I never thought of being crafty or opportunistic." Su Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed after saying that. But her expression was sincere.

"Just because of this?"

"Yes, just because of this. I've always relied on my own efforts."

"Su Yuanyuan, do you think it would have been better if I hadn't gone to the farm from the start, or if I'd relied on myself once I got there without trying to use others?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, in fact, the most important thing is that you shouldn't have had harmful intentions,

Girl, I don't know what you were thinking back then. Why did you try to matchmake Ma Dongmei and Xiang Zhiqiang?"

"Because Ma Dongmei always claimed to be my benefactor, and I hated her, but she was the only one willing to pay attention to me."

"So you betrayed your friend?"

"I didn't, I didn't."

"Didn't you? Then why did you say she was the only one willing to pay attention to you?

Your thoughts always puzzled me. Did you really see Ma Dongmei as a friend, or as an enemy?

Now, because of your actions, both of them are dead. Zheng Lanying, don't you see them in your dreams when you sleep at night?"
