Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1566: Chapter 1568: One Mountain Cannot Contain Two Tigers

The handsome young man rested his arm against the window, just as Chiang Xiao and her group glanced over.

”Do families live here?” he asked Xiao Sun, who was driving.

Xiao Sun shook his head. ”No, there aren’t any family buildings in our Xinying District.”

”Then those two, are they female team members?”

Following his gaze, Xiao Sun looked over but couldn’t make out who the two people were. ”No, we don’t have female team members here either. Maybe someone’s sisters?”

Saying this, he couldn’t help but admire the other man’s sharp eyesight.

”Officer Cheng, you’re incredible. You can even see that?”

The distance from here to there was quite far.

”I have excellent vision.”

”Officer Cheng, you must be particularly outstanding. Otherwise, our Deputy wouldn’t have gone out of his way to recruit you like this,” Xiao Sun said. ”I heard that our Deputy negotiated with the Deputy over in Province X for a long time and even agreed to some unfair terms before finally bringing you over.”

Cheng Cheng curled his lips into a faint smile and said, ”Really? Unfair terms? But, if you say it like that, aren’t you worried that your Great Officer Meng might feel uncomfortable?”

Xiao Sun froze, ”Why would he feel uncomfortable?”

Cheng Cheng patted his shoulder, his eyes deep, as he casually remarked, ”Two tigers can’t share one mountain.”

Two tigers can’t share one mountain?

The car came to a stop. Cheng Cheng opened the door and gracefully hopped down. Reaching back through the rear window, he grabbed his backpack and slung it on.

”Let’s go. I need to report to Deputy Du.”

Chiang Xiao happened to glance over in their direction.

Her eyesight was, of course, very sharp, but all she caught was the man’s back. She didn’t think much of it.

Wang Yi looked at her sun-kissed, flushed face that had reddened from laughing and sunlight, thinking she looked incredibly pretty. Unable to resist, he reached out and pinched her cheek. ”What are you looking at?”

”Nothing much, just thought it seemed like someone was here reporting for duty. Not sure if it’s a transferred veteran or a new recruit.”

”Earlier, didn’t Great Officer Meng mention he had something to do? Could it be that he went to pick someone up?”

”Who knows? Should we head back?” Chiang Xiao asked.

Since Wang Yi wasn’t quite at ease here and couldn’t fully relax, leaving might be better.

”Can we?”

”We can. I’ll ask someone to leave a message for Brother Xinian.” Chiang Xiao knew Meng Xinian wouldn’t be able to leave the district today, and since he was unavailable, she decided to take Wang Yi for a visit to Huali Tea Garden.

After asking Gong Xinhe to pass on a message to Meng Xinian, she took Wang Yi and left.

At this moment, Meng Xinian was in Deputy Du’s office.

This Deputy Du was newly transferred as well. Since Meng Xinian had returned, they had met only three times, and aside from discussing business in meetings, they hadn’t really chatted privately.

”Little Meng, come, come. Have a seat and try this tea I brought back from Province X. Let me tell you, it’s their specialty—no other place has tea leaves like this.”

”Thank you, Deputy Du.”

Meng Xinian sat by the tea table, watching him brew the tea, though inwardly unimpressed.

After drinking tea handcrafted by Chiang Xiao herself, he found himself indifferent to all other teas.

Currently, Chiang Xiao’s Youqingwei store in the Capital City hadn’t officially opened, so the tea didn’t have a proper source yet. When he drank alone, it was fine, but whenever others were present, he had no choice but to settle for inferior tea.

Once Youqingwei launched, he could openly drink that tea and even use the opportunity to help promote Chiang Xiao’s shop.

”No need to be polite! Actually, didn’t we almost end up as family?”
