I couldn’t do it, but I admire you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person speaking held onto Zhu Bin and kept expressing their reluctance for him to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a silent background observer, Jiang Cheng heard the word northwest, pushing her suspicion of Zhu Bin to eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The northwest was desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But numerous researches had been completed in the northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally finished talking, Jiang Cheng followed Zhu Bin to the street to handle the last procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Leader Tang arrived at the textile factory and went directly to the Factory Director’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Fang was in a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An important meeting about foreign exchange production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang patiently waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if Jiang Cheng can wait a little longer—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mentioned Jiang Cheng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Feng interrupted Leader Tang’s monologue and asked again, \"Did Jiang Cheng ask you to come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang looked up, unable to grasp the connection, but he could understand Secretary Feng’s implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, Jiang Cheng asked me to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Secretary Feng directly pushed open the conference room door, interrupting Factory Director Fang’s speech with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Fang looked displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What matter requires speaking at this moment, especially with such an important issue about foreign exchange production? Haven’t I emphasized its importance to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Feng walked to Factory Director Fang’s side and whispered two words: Jiang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you say so earlier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Fang suddenly stood up, pushed past Secretary Feng, and rushed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all keep talking amongst yourselves for a while!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving those words behind, Factory Director Fang had already exited the conference room and was searching for Jiang Cheng’s whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Feng followed closely, continuing the unfinished conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, it was Jiang Cheng who asked him to come see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Fang listened and instructed, \"That’s equally important! Anything related to Jiang Cheng is of paramount importance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did well this time, keep it up next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Feng agreed with a smile, mentally elevating Jiang Cheng’s status even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, it’s Public Security Bureau Leader Tang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Feng pointed in Leader Tang’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang had already walked out, and after a brief conversation with Factory Director Fang, Factory Director Fang’s expression turned much more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Cheng isn’t someone who talks nonsense; let’s discuss this in the office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secretary Feng, trailing a step behind, followed and closed the door for the two. He stood guard at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the office, Factory Director Fang was talking about Zhu Bin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was me who invited Zhu Bin at that time; our machines malfunctioned unexpectedly. I knew the Zhu family’s origins were in textiles and had fallen from grace, leaving only Zhu Bin. I asked around and invited him several times before he agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But thinking about it now, the machine’s malfunction was quite unexpected. As soon as it broke, I heard someone mention Zhu Bin. Once he arrived, he fixed it right away; everything just fell into place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang took notes, but didn’t comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Zhu Bin going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Northwest! He applied on his own, saying he wanted to contribute to the textile industry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang became even more attentive and, after asking a few more questions, he said, \"Just keep this matter between you and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factory Director Fang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured! Also, please ensure Jiang Cheng is not implicated; a spy is ruthless, and Jiang Cheng’s a young girl who can’t easily protect herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang heard Factory Director Fang’s concern and assured him with a promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he also curiously inquired about the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing... Jiang Cheng just helped us secure a foreign exchange export order worth over three hundred thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Tang: The words ’just’ perfectly embodied Jiang Cheng’s style.\u003C\u002Fp>",1405,"2026-06-03T05:46:21.787Z",1,"novelbin.me","7d0a5748327575af2ecf02d5b6903e13a3533fdbc902ee55fc9baf4f343c1bdb","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-153","rich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-chapter-115",340,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frich-in-the-70s-i-made-a-rugged-veteran-a-millio-cover.jpg"]
