She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 374: Chapter 384: Dad Has Been Led Astray

“This is the Director of the General Union Inspection Department”

“Hello!” Sheng Laosan greeted.

Xu Xianxiong shook hands with Su Hai.

“Hello, I’m the junior; there’s no need for such formality,” Su Hai appraised, nodding his head in satisfaction.

Those who could raise a ‘General Star’ surely differ from the likes of the Qin Family. With this thought, Su Hai couldn’t help but feel fierce repression.

If anyone dared to fool around with the Su Family, he could make them pay a painful price.

“You’re a big leader, and our Qigang still needs to ask for a leader’s support.”

“Your Qigang is very capable and doesn’t need anyone’s support,” Su Hai said sincerely, “I was just passing by for work and wanted to stop by to say hello.”

Sheng Laosan looked eagerly at Su Hai, his nervous hands fidgeting. “Leader, could you please look after my daughter?”

The straightforward Sheng Laosan never used to speak like this; he’d never asked anyone for anything in his life. It was truly shocking that he would say such things today, much to Sheng An’s surprise.

“Dad, have you had too much to drink? Don’t talk nonsense, or my sister will be unhappy.” Dad must have spent too much time with Left Green Dragon and Right White Tiger; they’ve led him astray.

He’s even started to think about taking shortcuts.

Surprised, Su Hai glanced at Sheng An, a fleeting feeling of peculiarity passing through his heart before he could fully grasp it.

“Have I embarrassed our family?” Sheng Laosan, who really couldn’t hold his liquor, felt dizzy despite Xu Xianxiong not daring to get him drunk at noon.

Luckily, drinking didn’t show on his face, and it truly wasn’t noticeable unless he spoke.

Sheng An nodded, “It’s quite embarrassing!”

“Oh! Then, leader, please disregard what I just said,” Sheng Laosan retracted his statement.

“Your daughter’s name is Sheng Ning, right?” Hearing that the two families had set an engagement today, Su Hai could guess the rest.

“Your daughter’s performance is very good; she also doesn’t need special attention.”

“Really?”

“Really?”

Father and daughter both looked at Su Hai with faces full of surprise and joy.

“Yes, indeed, she’s very capable,” Su Hai nodded earnestly, genuinely recognizing Sheng Ning’s excellence and hard work.

“That’s great!” Sheng An was happier than anyone, “Dad, now you can rest assured and not worry about the General Union sending sister back. Humph! I’ll make sure to slap Xu Lai and those others across the face when I get back for spreading nasty rumors about my sister for no reason.”

“Alright! Go ahead,” Sheng Laosan was also very pleased, feeling a big weight lifted off his chest.

“I came to tell you some good news,” the office director said happily, “Old Xu, I must congratulate you; you’ve raised such a capable son.”

“Of course my son is capable,” Xu Xianxiong gave his counterpart a ‘you’re such an idiot’ look, “as if you needed to tell me that.”

“…” Alright! He should not have bothered communicating with a hooligan.

“May I ask, director, what has happened to my Qigang?” Zhao Lanzhi politely inquired.

“Qigang has been promoted to Captain!” The office director was genuinely pleased.

“What is the position of Captain?” Xu Xianxiong asked a rather silly question, eliciting eye rolls from everyone.

“Thank you! Would the two leaders like to come in and sit down for a cup of tea?” Zhao Lanzhi was dependable at critical moments.

“No need, we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now.”

“Goodbye.”

After Su Hai and his group left, Shen Luhua came out of the house with a scarf in hand and quietly stood at the back of the crowd.

“Eh? You found your scarf?” Zhao Lanzhi casually asked.

“Yes! Congratulations to you,” Shen Luhua said, her face still a bit unpleasant, “You go ahead with your matters; we’ll be heading back.”

“Alright! We’ll walk you out.”

“No need! No need at all.”
