Master, That's My Wife and My House! - Chapter 32

“Comrade, could you please bring us a braised pork, a chicken and edamame stew, a tomato and egg soup, and two bowls of rice?” Chen Feng said politely to the waiter.

You can’t be polite these days. Waiters are tough and arrogant. When they’re happy, they’re serving the people; when they’re unhappy, they’re just jerks off the people.

At one point, slogans were even posted on the walls of state-run restaurants.

“No one is allowed to assault customers without cause!”

“You’ve ordered a bit too much. One dish and one soup are more than enough for the two of us. Ordering too much is a waste,” Jiang Rong said.

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, “I’m a carnivore, I crave meat. Don’t worry, there’s no way I can’t finish it.”

After Chen Feng said that, Jiang Rong naturally couldn’t say anything more. When the food was served, Chen Feng served soup to himself and Jiang Rong.

“Come on, let’s have some soup instead of wine, Jiang, I’ll toast you.” Chen Feng said with a smile as he picked up the bowl.

Jiang Rong didn’t refuse, picked up her bowl and clinked it with Chen Feng’s, and the two of them drank a cup together.

“Eat your food, eat your food. By the way, Jiang Rong, where are you from?” Chen Feng urged Jiang Rong to eat, and asked casually at the same time.

Jiang Rong adjusted her glasses and said slowly, “My home is in the capital.”

“The capital? There are so many good schools in the capital, why did you come to study in Anhui and Huaihe River Basin?!” Chen Feng asked curiously.

Jiang Rong shook her head. “I didn’t come here to study.”

“Not a student?” Chen Feng was taken aback, then looked at Jiang Rong with suspicion. “You were an educated youth sent to the countryside? Helping out at the Anhui-Huaihe Mining University?”

“No.” Jiang Rong shook her head.

“That’s true. Everyone has returned to the city this year, and very few people will stay in the places where the educated youth lived.” Chen Feng nodded slightly.

This year, a large number of educated youth returned to the cities across the country, leaving behind their hometowns with tears in their eyes.

It would be normal for a sent-down youth who was looking for a new place to stay to stay for special reasons. But Jiang Rong is from the capital. Would a sent-down youth from the capital not go back? That’s almost impossible.

“and you…….”

“I’m a lecturer at the Mining University, a full-fledged one.” Jiang Rong didn’t hide anything and revealed her background directly.

Chen Feng suddenly realized, then a look of surprise appeared on his face. Jiang Rong was too young. Under normal circumstances, at Jiang Rong’s age, it would be quite good to be a teaching assistant. As a formal lecturer… very few, far too few.

But then I thought, if Jiang Rong weren’t a teacher at the Mining and Technology University, how could she so easily get what I wanted? Every time she’s in the lab, she acts as if it’s her own property, taking it for granted.

“My apologies!” Chen Feng said with a smile. “Teacher Jiang is so young. Please forgive me for offending you earlier.”

Jiang Rong chuckled and shook her head. “Ignorance is no excuse. Besides, it is indeed a bit early for me to become a teacher at my age. You can’t blame me for that.”

The young girl was quite easy to talk to, but Chen Feng couldn’t help but feel impressed. It seemed that Jiang Rong’s family was not simple. Otherwise, how could she be giving lectures to others at such a young age when others were still in college? Was it because she had long legs?

The two chatted casually, and at that moment, three people walked into the restaurant together. Two of them were flanking another person, who was none other than Dean Qi of the Chemistry Department.

Dean Qi was also invited to a dinner party today, but as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Rong chatting and laughing with a man, and his heart skipped a beat.

Dean Qi was bitter. He was a dean, yet he had to clean up after a young girl every day. What kind of job was this?

“Jiang Rong!” Dean Qi called out without hesitation and immediately came up.

When Jiang Rong heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw it was Dean Qi. She wasn’t flustered; she wasn’t a primary school student anymore, so she didn’t need to worry about the teacher catching her.

“Dean Qi.” Jiang Rong stood up, and Chen Feng quickly stood up as well.

Dean Qi frowned. Jiang Rong was destined to return to the capital in the future, so he couldn’t let her find a boyfriend in Wanhuai. Otherwise, Jiang Rong would at most get a scolding, but he would be in trouble.

“Xiao Jiang, this is your friend. Why don’t you introduce him to me?” Dean Qi asked with a smile, looking more like an easy-going elder.

“Dean Qi, this is Chen Feng, a worker from Wanhuai Machinery Factory,” Jiang Rong introduced. “Chen Feng, this is our dean, the dean of the Chemistry Department of the Mining University.”

When Dean Qi heard that Chen Feng was from Wanhuai Machinery Factory, he vaguely felt that he had heard of him before.

“Wanhuai Machinery Factory, Xiao Jiang, why do I feel like… I seem to know Xiao Chen?” Dean Qi asked in confusion.

Jiang Rong said directly, “It’s normal. Didn’t I tell you a couple of days ago that Chen Feng saved me from the accident during the experiment? Also, I applied for a piece of potassium superoxide from you.”

“Oh! I remember now, there was such a thing.” Dean Qi suddenly realized, then asked curiously, “You two are very close?”

Chen Feng could tell at this moment that Dean Qi was probably an old acquaintance of Jiang Rong, and might even be one of Jiang Rong’s parents. His words implied that he thought Chen Feng might be a scoundrel and was therefore on guard.

Not wanting to cause himself unnecessary trouble, Chen Feng immediately said, “Dean Qi, thank you so much! Comrade Jiang Rong’s help has been a great help to us. You don’t know, but because of Comrade Jiang Rong’s help, two lives were saved!”

Dean Qi was curious and asked what had happened. Chen Feng immediately recounted the whole story.

After hearing this, Dean Qi’s eyes lit up. Jiang Rong was just lacking a substantial honor, and now, the honor had been delivered to her doorstep.

“Good, good, good!” Dean Qi nodded repeatedly, pleased. He immediately said, “This is a matter of life and death, no amount of commendation is too much. I will also tell the school about this later.”

“After all, Wanhuai Coal Mine is the foundation of our Wanhuai region. Your work has played such a significant role in preventing the loss of life for our miners, and you must be commended for it.”

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised. Why did Dean Qi seem even more excited than him? Could it be Jiang Rong’s father? As for the surname… she took her mother’s surname?

Chen Feng was unaware of what was going on, but Jiang Rong knew perfectly well what was happening. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it and realized that this wasn’t just a matter for her, but also for Chen Feng.

I don’t care about these things, so I can just turn them down. But Chen Feng is just an ordinary citizen, and it’s not easy for him to have this kind of opportunity. I can’t ruin his good deed.

Dean Qi was pleased to see that Jiang Rong did not refuse. He was afraid that Jiang Rong would become stubborn and reject him with a single sentence. Now it’s good that she is going along with the crowd!
