Chapter 21 Chapter nine

Yu Zhao and Chen Shanbao have made friends and often study and joke together.It happened to be such a good autumn, and the two of them moved You Xing and agreed to visit Xiangshan together.When Yu Zhao arrived in Beijing, he had only been to the Summer Palace, but not to the Fragrant Hills.To avoid too many tourists on Sunday, they each asked for a day off.Wanying bought pastries, fruits, etc. for them, and specially cooked tea eggs.She and Yu Nan's old couple were full of joy when they saw their youngest daughter traveling as a couple. Yu Nan is not lonely this summer vacation either.He learned from Nina that Jiang Min was willing to join his group, and he was very proud.At the mid-year work summary meeting, Jiang Min was praised, so Yu Nan went to congratulate her.Jiang Min turned her head and said with a half smile but not a smile:

"We're just quick learners! Learn it and forget it!" "Hey," Yu Nan patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you can't learn it, you forget it. Didn't I say it earlier, I hope you learn it quickly, and come back to teach us. To tell you the truth, I don't even have a slow class." Keep up, they're all dropped out now." He invited Jiang Min to his home, praised her, and asked her about her work plan.Of course Jiang Min would not drink his rice soup for nothing.She returned the rice soup with a charming smile, as if mixed with fine wine, making Yu Nan drunk.He became more interested and talked more, bragging and selling himself, just like he used to entertain his favorite female students in Shanghai.Wan Ying only prevents Jiang Min from seducing Shan Bao and ruining Yu Zhao's marriage.Now that Yu Zhao and Shanbao are on good terms, Wanying can't guard against her anymore.As for Yu Nan, Wan Ying didn't care.Yu Zhao and Shanbao are not around now, Yu Nan feels lonely and often goes to Ding Baogui's house to drink.Now Jiang Min is here, adding to the fun.They talked about work and criticism, and sometimes Shi Nina and Jiang Taotao also came to join the discussion.Throughout the summer, Yu Nan seldom went out, Jiang Min often came.

Sometimes the two talked and laughed in low voices, and sometimes they had heated discussions.Wanying only heard them repeatedly mentioning "the viewpoint is not correct", "the class nature is not prominent", "the theory of human nature" and so on, and she didn't know what they were commenting on.She once asked Shanbao quietly, but Shanbao was at a loss.Once she heard Shanbao ask Jiang Min what she and Mr. Yu were discussing.Jiang Min said that she came to help Mr. Yu learn Russian, and she also took this opportunity to warm up old books.Wan Ying felt strange, and couldn't believe that she was so confused that she couldn't even distinguish between foreign and Chinese.

Yu Zhao and Shanbao came back from the mountain tour, Wanying arranged for them to have snacks in the dining room.Yu Nan and Jiang Min were discussing their articles in the study, so they immediately lowered their voices. Yu Zhao said loudly, "Mom, do you know who we met?" Shanbao remained silent as if he had something on his mind. Wanying asked, "Who did you meet?" "you guess!" Wanying said, "How do I know?" "Yao Mi! Yao Mi!! And Xu Yancheng!!" "You should call Sister Yao and Mr. Xu—who else?" "Just the two of them!!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wan Ying immediately stopped Yu Zhao, "Where did you meet? Have you talked to them?" "At the bus station going to Xiangshan, the two of them stood at two ends! We quickly hid." "You must have misjudged the person." Wanying insisted. "Shanbao saw it first, and he pulled me and told me to watch. We quickly avoided and watched them get into the car by the front door and the back door from a distance." Wanying said: "Why do you need one front door and one back door to get in the car?" She didn't ask the reason, she had to refute the rumors for Yao Mi first. "It looks like it from a distance, I don't know how much it looks like. There are many people wearing gray cloth uniforms like Ms. Yao, how could she go on a mountain tour with Mr. Xu! Did you see the two of them in Xiangshan?"

Yu Zhao was not convinced and said, "Xiangshan is so big and there are so many tourists, how can we meet?" "You only saw a person who looked like Miss Yao from a distance, and you avoided it without looking closely, but insisted that the other person was with her. You must have misread the person." Yu Zhao felt that what her mother said was also reasonable, and admitted that she might have misjudged the person. But Shanbao said stubbornly: "It's Yao Mi, I can tell it's her at a glance. I will never be wrong." Yu Zhao couldn't help feeling jealous when she heard this, because she knew that Shanbao had a crush on Yao Mi in the past.She said: "Oh! It's Yao Mi, you can't be mistaken! Anyway, you only have one Yao Mi in your eyes! The ones in gray uniforms are all Yao Mi!"

Shanbao didn't argue, but he didn't admit his mistakes.Wan Ying does not allow Yu Zhao to fight again.Yu Zhao is not willing to listen to his mother, muttering and only arguing with Shanbao. Jiang Min listened to all their words.She was embarrassed to stay there across the wall to listen to their quarrel, so she excused herself to say goodbye. Jiang Min believes that Shanbao will not be wrong.She wanted to go around the office, but guessing that Yao Mi would not be there, she might as well go to Yao's house to have a look. When she saw Yao Mi's bicycle when she entered, she asked Shen's mother who opened the door if Yao Mi was at home.Shen's mother said, "I haven't come back." Jiang Min thought she had been confirmed, so she couldn't get away, so she couldn't help but go in to say hello to Aunt Yao, saying that she hadn't officially started work after returning to the company, so she said a few perfunctory words, intentionally or unintentionally, asking: "Yao Mi hasn't come home yet?"

Mrs. Yao said, "She hasn't come back yet." Jiang Min thought to himself: You don't need to go to the office, let's go to Xu Yancheng's house to have a look.She resigned from Mrs. Yao and went to Xu's house again. When Xu Yancheng came back from Yao's house, he just lay down in his "kennel" sullenly.Li's mother came out to open the door, and obeyed the master's order, saying, "Mr. is not at home."When Du Lilin heard that it was Jiang Min, she rushed out to receive her.She congratulated Jiang Min on her excellent academic performance, and asked her if there was anything wrong.

Jiang Min said: "I would like to ask when the group meeting will be held." Lilin said that there were no formal meetings, and their group often met, but they all met in the office on Monday morning to arrange work for the week.She chatted with Jiang Min for a while.Jiang Min resigned, feeling that it was too late and there was no need to go to the office to investigate again.Even if Yao Mi went to work in the office at this time, she couldn't prove that she didn't travel to the mountains.She decided she had discovered a great secret.But she is very cautious, without further confirmation, she only keeps the secret in her heart.

On Monday, Luo Hou went to the office as usual (he would also go around on other days to ask Yao Mi if there was anything he wanted to do).He ran to see Yao Mi reading the translation he asked Yao Mi to read, and asked, "Have you finished reading it? Do you understand it?" Yao Mi said: "I understand, of course I understand. But you have to attach the original text, and let me learn." Luo Hou smiled and said: "The original text is very precious. It is the secret book that the old man brought back from France. He is not willing to let me use it." "Then how do you translate it?"

Luo Hou said: "I don't need to translate it. He read Chinese in front of the notebook, and I wrote it down. This is a joint translation between two people. If I write a mess, he asked me to find the original text. At first I couldn't even find the original text. Now, I've made a lot of progress." "Is this a translation? He won't proofread it?" "Proofreading! He's impatient! So I ask you to see if you understand." "I want you to name it after it's published, and he gets the manuscript fee alone?" "If the name appears more times, don't I become a famous translator?" Both of them laughed. Just as he was talking, Jiang Min came running.Luo Hou said loudly: "Hey! Why are you here? Didn't you change to work at Mr. Yu's house?" Jiang Min glanced at him: "Who said that?" "Still waiting for Comrade Fu Jin to hold a plenary meeting to make an official announcement?" Luo Hou said with a grimace. Jiang Min pretended to be helpless and said, "They dragged me." Yao Mi smiled and said, "I heard that you teach Mr. Yu Russian every day." Jiang Min couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately responded, "I heard that one day you accompanied Mr. X on a tour of Fragrant Hills!" Yao Mi's face suddenly turned pale, and even Luo Hou noticed it.But Yao Mi said calmly, "I didn't visit Xiangshan." "Didn't visit Xiangshan, did you visit Cherry Valley?" Jiang Min smiled wickedly. Yao Mi said, "I didn't visit Cherry Valley. I work here every day." At this time, Xu Yancheng and Du Lilin who were waiting for Jiang Min happened to enter the door.Jiang Min just pretended not to see, and said loudly: "But someone clearly saw the two of you going on a mountain tour! You, there is another person..." Luo Hou firmly believed that Yao Mi was telling the truth, so he raised his eyebrows and asked Jiang Min, "Did you see it with your own eyes?" Jiang Min said: "Someone saw it with their own eyes, and I heard it with my own ears." They all greeted Mr. Xu and Mr. Du. Jiang Min went on to say: "Friday morning, at the bus station going to Xiangshan, one of you is here, the other is there, one gets on the front door, and the other gets on the back door..." She caught a glimpse of Xu Yancheng's face suddenly changed, and Du Lilin peeked at him. With Yancheng. Luo Hou pointed to Jiang Min and said: "Don't hide your head and show your tail! Who saw it with their own eyes? I will ask! I know you are talking about Chen Shanbao. Shanbao told me that he went to visit Xiangshan with his friends on Friday. I will meet him face to face. ask him!" Jiang Min smiled contemptuously and said, "Did I mention Chen Shanbao? I didn't mention him a single word! Anyway, Yao Mi works here, so of course he doesn't travel to mountains. There are people who travel to mountains." She guessed that Yao Mi was lying. Both Xu Yancheng and Du Lilin had already sat down.Lilin smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang Min, are you talking about us?" "I'm talking about mountain hikers." Lilin said: "It's just me and Yancheng. We both secretly went out to visit Fragrant Hills during work hours. Yancheng was overwhelmed and climbed up to Guijianshou by himself. When we got back from the crowded car, we only let me sit when we had a seat. Standing on his own, he was very excited when he got home. But after sleeping all night, his whole body was sore from sleep the next day, like a deflated ball, with no energy left. He was lying down when you came, and I told Li Ma said he wasn't home, let him rest for a while. Anyone who saw us must have remembered the date wrongly. Our mountain tour was on Thursday, not Friday." Yao Mi still said quietly: "No matter Thursday or Friday, I work here. You can ask Xiuying, she comes to open the water for us in the morning and afternoon." Jiang Min didn't expect that the secret she held firmly had no roots, so she hurriedly said: "Luo Hou, did you hear that? People said it must be Thursday. If it was Friday, it would be Chen Shanbao and his friends. Anyway, I heard people say that someone from our company visited Xiangshan with my own eyes. I thought it was Yao Mi, so I just mentioned it casually." Just one sentence, you are so bossy!" Luo Hou rolled up his manuscript, stood up and said, "Are you holding a group meeting? I'll also go to my supervisor." He went out and heard Jiang Min saying: "They dragged me into their group. I don't know what to do..." Impatient, Luo Hou ran straight to Yu Nan's house with the manuscript in his arms.
