After meeting with BaiHanQi and JiangYuan, GuHai returned to the company.
"You're finally back."
TongZhe threw a stack of documents that was in his hands toward GuHai, the papers fell from the air like an artistic drawing of a beautiful parabola, making noises that are quite sweet-sounding.
"After battling for six months and eight days, this project is finally completed." TongZhe lazily glanced at GuHai, "The other party has signed their approval, now you have to sign it too!"
GuHai is surprised, "They've already sent someone here to inspect the products? When was this?"
"Just earlier, when you were out. The person in charge personally came over and approved it. He said that there are no problems in terms of quality. As for getting signatures, you could just sign on his behalf since both of you have the same exact handwriting."
GuHai's eyebrows tightened, "You meant that BaiLuoYin came earlier?"
TongZhe nodded carelessly, "Yes, he just left a while ago."
He was gone for all these days, came back and didn't even say anything to me......GuHai secretly murmured. He picked up the phone to call BaiLuoYin but there was no answer. He tried to call again and still, there was no answer. Forget it! GuHai thought, I'll just go to inspect the products first then head over to the base to see how tan that little white-eyed wolf got.
TongZhe went with GuHai to the warehouse. GuHai re-opened each and every one of the sealed products and inspected it again.
"They have already done an inspection, is there a need for you to be this overly cautious?" TongZhe felt that GuHai's action was unnecessarily.
GuHai squatted down to carefully inspect the products while faintly replying to TongZhe, "I don't care with other partners, but with BaiLuoYin's project, we must ensure that it is absolutely safe."
In fact, from research and development to the production processes, GuHai had been observing extremely closely. The probability of finding a problem is minimal.
Finally, after ensuring that all the products met the requirements, GuHai clapped the dust from his hands and instructed the female employees on the side, "Seal these up. I'll call in a bit so that they could send a vehicle to transport them."
After that, he and TongZhe went around to inspect the other warehouses and workshops.
"When was this batch of smart lights produced?" GuHai squatted down and looked.
TongZhe explained, "This was from a side job that we accepted a while back. The other party needed it quickly so these were produced during overtime. That job was mainly just to help out a friend."
GuHai picked up a small strange looking shape light bulb and started to play with it in his hands for a while. Then, he turned to look at TongZhe, his mouth had on a faint smile.
"Produce a little more."
"Huh?" TongZhe did not understand.
GuHai stood up and happily said, "I want to use them for when I get married."
"Get married?" TongZhe was shocked by these words, "Get married to whom?"
"Married to you."
GuHai did not turn his head and left.
————–
Driving to the military base, GuHai's mood had a faint trace of excitement, envisioning BaiLuoYin's surprised reaction the moment he hears of their wedding news. And then imagining the romantic moment when the two of them could discuss their wedding details. Just thinking about this, GuHai excitedly wanted to fly to BaiLuoYin's side this instant.
After the car arrived at the base, GuHai reduced his speed. He wanted to calm his mood down a bit so that his excitement would not make him incoherent when it was time to tell BaiLuoYin.
Finally, he arrived at BaiLuoYin's office, walking at a fast but light pace. The door was opened and BaiLuoYin's cell phone was on the table but he was not in there.
GuHai sat in the house and waited for a while. Almost half an hour had past, but there was still no shadow of BaiLuoYin. Since the bedroom door was not locked, according to his reasoning, BaiLuoYin should not have gone far!
When GuHai went outside, it was almost dark.
LiuChong happened to walk by with his comrades when he saw GuHai. He was stunned for a moment and then finally waved at him.
"Come over here." GuHai waived his hand.
LiuChong trotted all the way over.
"What is it?"
"Have you seen BaiLuoYin?" GuHai asked.
"Ah, he didn't come back yet?" LiuChong was surprised, "He was walking around the training field earlier. I clearly saw him coming back this side! Is he back at his dorm?"
"He did not lock the door. His cell phone and keys are still in the office," GuHai replied.
The comrade next to LiuChong interjected, "I think I saw Colonel Bai walk toward the hangar."
GuHai did not say anything and went straight to the hangar.
But the person in charge informed GuHai that BaiLuoYin had left on a helicopter half an hour earlier and has not yet returned.
———-
Nine years later, the four parents meet again.
The atmosphere this time was significantly different from the last time. The last time that GuWeiTing called the three of them for a gathering, these three people all had on a nervous and uneasy expression and no one dared to speak. This time, they met with a few greetings first; each of their expressions are relaxed. It was as if they didn't care why GuWeiTing would call them out for this meeting.
GuWeiTing wanted to speak several times but did not get the opportunity.
Finally, when the chat on the side had settled down, GuWeiTing took the opportunity to clear his throat.
JiangYuan uttered a strange sound, then she grabbed Aunt Zhou's wrist and asked, "Where did you buy this bracelet?"
Aunt Zhou smiled, "At the flea market."
"You still go to that kind of place?" JiangYuan is surprised.
Aunt Zhou embarrassingly smiled, "My son took me there."
GuWeiTing's face is so dark that it can scare people.
Finally, it was BaiHanQi who tapped on the table and quietly reminded the ladies, "Talk again in a moment."
The two women finally held their tongues.
BaiHanQi turned and faced GuWeiTing, his face showing a simple and honest smile.
"Older Bro Gu, if you have something to say, then just say it directly."
Three people listened with a respectful attention.
GuWeiTing eyes swept through each of their faces, and then said, "Today, I called you all here to continue our unfinished discussion from nine years ago."
After he said that, the private room became silent.
Suddenly, a clear slap broke the repressive atmosphere.
BaiHanQi's neck suffered a heavy slap. He couldn't help but took a breadth. Then, he turned to look at Aunt Zhou.
"I just saw a big mosquito. I was just trying to swat it." Aunt Zhou said loudly.
BaiHanQi kept rubbing his neck and repeatedly complained, "You really, how can this high class club have mosquitoes?"
"I really saw it, you see, you see, it is still flying over there, you don't see it?"
BaiHanQi quickly patted Aunt Zhou, "Hurry up and go catch it! Then go and complain to the service desk, maybe we could get free tea."
Aunt Zhou got up to catch the mosquito after BaiHanQi gave the directions. Meanwhile, JiangYuan is taking pictures with her cell phone beside them, while murmuring on the side, "I will post this on Weibo in a bit, lets call it 'Gathering nine years later, Sister no longer have a baby face,' ah... not bad... not bad."
Bam!!!
A loud bam on the table made the three people's actions stopped simultaneously.
GuWeiTing's face revealing a deep danger.
"Did you not you hear what I said?"
"We heard it." BaiHanQi is still just amiable as he was in the past, "Didn't you say that you wanted to finish the conversation from nine years ago?"
"Then, if you know that, why are you still laughing and joking around?" GuWeiTing said in an angry tone.
Aunt Zhou's eyes are still following the flying mosquitoes and casually said, "We are not laughing and joking around. I have been waiting for you to speak all along. I'm a person who can't stay still, my mind will wander off. Go ahead and speak, don't worry, I can hear it."
"Yes, Brother Gu, go ahead and continue to talk!"
Meanwhile, JiangYuan is still playing with her cell phone.
GuWeiTing had wanted to say it a little politely, but after seeing the undisciplined attitude of these three people, he suddenly changed his mind. Since your psychology is so good, then I will get straight to the point. Let me make it clear and see if you can still laugh after that!!
"Our two disappointing sons have mingled back together again!"
After he finished saying that, then came total silence.
But the silence did not last long. Afterwards the three acted indifferently and continued to do what they were doing before.
GuWeiTing roared again, "Are your ears so bad that you didn't hear what I just said?"
BaiHanQi finally can't hold back. He urged, "Brother Gu, just let them worry about it themselves! We're not young anymore, how many more days do we still have to live? It's enough to just take care of ourselves and not cause any more trouble for our sons."
"Exactly!" Aunt Zhou added on the side, "Last time, when I went with Old Bai for a checkup, the doctor even said that stress can easily cause heart disease. Even Old Bai who usually doesn't have much stress also has heart disease. If we don't loosen up a little, we can just die any day."
GuWeiTing's chilling sharp eyes turned toward JiangYuan, "Do you also think the same?"
JiangYuan slowly moved her eyes away from her phone and hesitantly asked, "About what?"
"You're just going to look on as I, Old Gu, have no descendants?"
GuWeiTing suddenly grabbed JiangYuan's phone as if to strike a pose to break it.
"Put it down!" JiangYuan suddenly shouted at GuWeiTing.
GuWeiTing was shocked, since when did JiangYuan even dare to angrily glare at me?
Facing GuWeiTing's wrath, JiangYuan fearlessly scolded GuWeiTing, "GuWeiTing, what are you trying to say? You have no descendants. Then do I, JiangYuan, have a full house of grandchildren then? Your family's GuHai is a son; our family's YinZi is not a son?"
Aunt Zhou also made a racket on the side, "Exactly, your Old Gu family's offspring is valuable, our Old Bai family's offspring is poor and lowly?"
"Brother Gu, these words of yours is really...ahhh." BaiHanQi can't stand it.
GuWeiTing listened as the three people ganged up to support each other with one person adding to another's words, he was so enraged that his face had become deform and twisted. So in the end, it still became my fault?
Then a phone call abruptly interrupted the tensed quarrel.
JiangYuan answered the phone. After listening for less than a minute, she threw the phone at GuWeiTing and busted into tears, "GuWeiTing, you bastard! You made my son so angry that he ran away! I'm telling you, if anything happens to my son, I will bury your son along with him!"
Hearing this, BaiHanQi was momentarily shocked and froze. Then, Aunt Zhou pinched him hard and he immediately slumped to the ground.
"Hey, Old Bai!" Aunt Zhou cried out, "Don't scare me!!"
GuWeiTing face stiffened as he looked at BaiHanQi on the ground.
Aunt Zhou bitterly glanced at GuWeiTing, "Let me tell you, Old Bai has heart disease. Don't think that because you're an official that you can just bully us common people. If anything happens to Old Bai, our family's young and old will not let you go easily!!"
GuWeiTing had not even finished dealing with them before JiangYuan started flapping from the other side.
"GuWeiTing, give me back my son!!"
