Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 420: 420 Moral Kidnapping

The four children all nodded. In their minds, Dad was the most capable and accomplished person.

”Alright, this isn’t something you should be discussing. Hurry up and eat.”

Around eight o’clock, Tan Shaoting returned home with the three children. All four of them were sweating profusely.

Su Yuanyuan had already prepared the bathwater. By nine o’clock, the three children were asleep.

”We’re definitely lacking exercise at home.” Su Yuanyuan sighed.

”Yes, that’s true. From now on, whenever I’m home, I’ll make sure to exercise with them.

Wife, I got promoted. From now on, I am the leader here.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled, ”Congratulations.”

”I suggested stepping down, but it won’t be agreed upon. But I’ll be overseeing things from home anyway!”

”Well, it has to be this way. At least it’s safe.”

Indeed, it’s not safe, even knowing Tan Shaoting’s abilities, but going out still keeps me on edge all day. That feeling is so uncomfortable.

Tan Shaoting clung to Su Yuanyuan and asked several times.

The next day, it was still Tan Shaoting who got up to cook and take care of the children before going to work.

Today at the meeting, Leader Zeng directly reported the reward from above and Tan Shaoting’s promotion announcement.

Those below heard that someone so young was now their leader, and many were dissatisfied.

Yet, even with their dissatisfaction, it was ultimately Tan Shaoting leading here.

Tan Shaoting’s speech was very brief, and the meeting ended quickly.

Everyone’s feelings were mixed, with many speculating about this young man’s actions. Meetings will likely be like this in the future.

After the meeting, Tan Shaoting and Zeng Zhenqing left. They had a lot to hand over.

Moreover, their department had so many secrets, making the handover particularly tedious.

At noon, the two simply ate in the office.

”Xiao Tan, you’ve certainly kept them in check.”

”Leader, I don’t think so. It’s just that they haven’t figured out my style yet. Actually, it’s nothing. As long as they complete the tasks I assign without critical mistakes, I won’t trouble them.”

”Haha, that’s how you think. They might not see it that way.”

After lunch, the two immediately resumed their handover work.

Cao Mingjun went home at noon.

”Hubby, why did you come back? I thought it’d just be us girls making do? I’ll bake some pancakes for you.”

Cao Mingjun was in a terrible mood, knowing it was because of jealousy, jealousy of that young leader. Originally being at the same level was hard enough to accept, but unexpectedly, within just a day, the person had become the top here.

”Dad, what’s wrong? Shall I get you some cold water?” Cao Jinling asked, worried.

Cao Mingjun shook his head, ”No, I’m fine. Tan Shaoting is already the main leader here.”

”What? Tan Shaoting? Then what about Leader Zeng?”

”He’ll probably be promoted; now they’re at the same level.” After speaking, he sighed.

Cao Jinling ignored her dad’s disappointment; instead, her heart was unusually passionate.

The man she had her eyes on was truly remarkable. He was barely in his twenties and already the head.

No, she must think of a way. Miss this chance, and there’s no shop in the village. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Cao Jinling wore a dreamy smile, feeling like God was helping her by sending such an excellent man her way.

It’s destined to be fate between the two of them.

Cao Mingjun frowned at his daughter.

But now, with his low spirits, he had no mood to focus on other things.

The Kang Family was also talking about this matter over their meal.

Kang Mingjian, already this age, was sure to want promotion. But with this incident, it seemed more difficult to rise.

”Why? Your contributions far exceed his. There’s no way it should be him.”

Kang Mingjian was already very upset, and those around him were chattering away.

”Enough. Stop talking.”

Kang Jing kept thinking about that god-like man, chuckling. Truly impressive.

At noon, Su Yuanyuan made leavened pancakes for the three children, with eggs and shrimp inside, each with a bowl of millet porridge.

She didn’t know that because of Tan Shaoting, the garrison was abuzz with talk about their family.

Because she was very low-key and unwilling to go out, generally taking the children out when fewer people were around.

Therefore, although people had seen them, not many spoke about them.

After the three children fell asleep, she made clothes for them.

Upon hearing a knock at the door, she frowned slightly. The person knocking was really annoying, with the urgent, loud knocking being very off-putting.

She opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman outside.

”Who are you looking for?”

”Young sister, I’m the one from the first house in this row. I know you moved in the day before yesterday but didn’t dare come over. Thinking you’d settled in by today, I came to get acquainted.”

”Sister, can you keep your voice down? The three children just fell asleep, and they’re light sleepers. If they wake up, they’ll start crying.”

”Oh, I’m really sorry. I’m naturally loud.”

”Sister, I’m not inviting you in now. We’ll chat outside when the children wake up this afternoon.”

”Alright, alright. If the children aren’t awake, they’ll surely cry.”

Su Yuanyuan saw off this guest, was just about to lie down, when she heard knocking again.

She felt irritated. Do people not care about time when visiting others here? Or does everyone not rest at noon?

This time, there were two people outside when she opened the door.

”Two sisters, I’m sorry. The children are sleeping, so it’s inconvenient to invite you in. We can talk another time.”

The two seemed to realize this, laughing embarrassedly, ”Forgotten, forgotten. All our children are grown. We forgot little ones need naps, no problem. When the children wake up, they can play outside.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.

After returning, she lay down beside her children, thinking she might take a nap too.

Just as she was dozing off, there was another knocking, and this time, she was really angry.

She didn’t even go to open the door, but the knocking continued relentlessly.

Su Yuanyuan saw two older women outside, probably in their forties. Was it ignorance at this age?

Qi Wen had already woken and looked at her mom in confusion.

”Be good, lie down and keep sleeping. Mom will go see.”

She said and got out of bed, heard someone saying before reaching the door, ”Why lock the door in broad daylight?” The tone was disdainful.

Another also wore an expression of contempt.

Su Yuanyuan opened the door, ”You two are old enough to know not to knock at someone’s door during their lunchtime rest, right?”

The two didn’t expect the young wife to confront them so bluntly.

Both looked slightly taken aback.

”You still nap? We don’t have that habit.”
