Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 906: Chapter 906: Just Now

This is the difference: they work with the big leaders, while I do not.

After finishing dinner, Liu Qingyuan drove over. Thinking of the person he hit this morning, he felt quite unlucky. He had been driving for several years now and didn’t know how such a thing could happen.

When he arrived at the gate, he underwent a strict inspection before he could go in.

Qian Zhifeng was already waiting at the door. He had seen Liu Qingyuan before.

”Minister Liu, I am Qian Zhifeng, Secretary to Minister Su of the External Relations Department. I’ve been waiting for you.”

”Hmm, let’s go.” He put on a bit of an official air, but not to the point of being obnoxious, just sometimes unlikable.

Qian Zhifeng didn’t care about this. He had seen many leaders, and this kind was not uncommon, so he didn’t feel embarrassed.

Liu Qingyuan actually wanted to ask why this Minister Su from the External Relations Department, whom he had nothing to do with, was looking for him, but he held back, thinking he’d soon know. There was no need to make himself look bad.

Qian Zhifeng led the way. They knocked on the door when they arrived.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the person coming in, ”Please have a seat, Minister Liu.”

Liu Qingyuan was stunned by her beauty; she really was a very young and beautiful woman.

”Minister Su, you are too kind. I wonder what you wanted to see me about?”

”Minister Liu, I just wanted to meet you. The person you had a car accident with is my friend. I thought I should explain the situation.”

”So that person is Minister Su’s friend? I feel very sorry for what happened this morning. I don’t know why it happened; I’ve been driving for many years and never had an accident.

Minister Su, I’m not trying to shirk responsibility, just telling the truth. Actually, your friend was mostly at fault. He suddenly rode out of an alley, and I happened to be at the intersection, so we collided.”

Su Yuanyuan knew that what Liu Qingyuan said was true, ”Thank you, Minister Liu. My friend is okay now.”

”It’s good that they are okay. The old man told me he could go to the hospital by himself. I was waiting for a meeting, so I didn’t know how he was.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”It’s fine, he’s already been discharged.”

If it was truly just an accident, then there’s nothing more to say.

”Minister Su, do you know where the old man lives? I’d like to go visit him.”

Su Yuanyuan really hated people like this. Why didn’t you do something earlier? Liu Qingyuan probably felt that as a leader, hitting someone was no big deal.

Now that I’ve found him, and he knows it’s my friend, he puts on this kind of show; it’s really annoying.

”He’s discharged now; saying anything now is pointless. In the future, Minister Liu, be more careful when driving.

I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t take up more of your time, Minister Liu.”

Su Yuanyuan was such a person who never cared for others, and whether she was unhappy or didn’t like someone, no one would receive face from her.

Liu Qingyuan felt a bit embarrassed, ”Minister Su, I’m really sorry. Here’s ten yuan, please help me pass it on.”

”No need.” For ordinary people, they might just pocket the ten yuan.

”Minister Su, this is just a small token. Please help me pass it on.” Why is she still being relentless?

”Since Minister Liu is so thoughtful. Secretary Qian, come in for a moment.”

Chengzi had been in the corner all along. When he heard Su Yuanyuan, he opened the door and left.

Qian Zhifeng came in, ”Minister Su, what can I do for you?”

”Secretary Qian, how much did Mr. Li spend in the hospital?”

”Minister Su, in total, he spent twenty-eight, because he had a fracture and got a cast.”

Su Yuanyuan looked expressionlessly at Liu Qingyuan, what’s the point of giving ten yuan?

Liu Qingyuan was a bit embarrassed and angry. He reached into his pocket and took out three more bills, making it a total of forty.

”Minister Su, here’s forty, the rest can be used to buy some food for the old man.”

Su Yuanyuan looked at the forty yuan, ”In that case, I’ll accept it on behalf, Secretary Qian, please take it and send it over later.”

Liu Qingyuan was fuming, not because of the forty yuan, but because Su Yuanyuan’s attitude had provoked him. Though she outranked him, this was still too disrespectful.

Su Yuanyuan also understood what Liu Qingyuan was thinking. For such a petty person, she couldn’t bother.

”Thank you, Secretary Qian. Please convey my apologies to the old man. Minister Su, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t even speak. Chengzi and Qian Zhifeng saw Liu Qingyuan out.

A few minutes later, Chengzi came back in, ”Sis, you were really tough, I bet that Minister Liu is probably furious.”

”I really can’t stand people like that. Come on, let’s go home.”

Qian Zhifeng also went with them, and the car ride was very quiet, just the three of them.

When they got home, they drove straight into the yard, and Su Yuanyuan got out of the car.

Li Shaoguang was waiting on the side, ”Sister Yuan Yuan, my grandpa is fine now.”

”Hmm, haven’t eaten yet?”

”We returned late today and only learned about my grandpa’s injury when we got home.”

As they talked, they entered the house. Li Hongxiang was sitting in the living room.

”Xiao Su, I’m fine. You have such a busy job, no need to worry about me.”

”Mr. Li, your leg is important. You’re getting older, you must take care not to strain it. Maybe you should find someone to take care of you?”

Li Hongxiang quickly waved his hand, ”There’s no need, I can manage perfectly on one leg. I’ll be careful not to hurt the other leg. No need to hire anyone.”

Li Hongxiang thought a lot. Previously, he had flaunted his wealth too much, leading to that incident, and narrowly escaping death. That must not happen again in the future.

Li Liyun also came out of the kitchen; the meal was ready, nothing fancy, just some noodle soup and egg pancakes.

”Sister Yuan Yuan, would you like to eat with us?”

”You go ahead, we’ve already eaten.”

Li Shaoguang helped Li Hongxiang to the dining room to eat.

They lived here meticulously, knowing Su Yuanyuan was a tidy person, so they kept the house especially clean.

Today, Li Hongxiang had gone out to look at houses. Short stays with someone were fine, but for the long term, he thought it would be convenient to buy his own place since he had the money.

Su Yuanyuan also joined them in the dining room, and Qian Zhifeng sensed that the leader seemed a bit unwilling to stay around.

So when they reached the dining room, he brought up what happened this evening, ”Mr. Li, here’s forty yuan. Please take it.”

”Xiao Su, there’s really no need.”

”I just can’t stand people like that. Since he wanted to give money, we should accept it. It’s what he should have done. In a previous job, I wouldn’t have agreed to accept such a small amount.”
