Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 140

Chapter 140: I Want to Say “Hehe” to His Face

Sheng Qingyang chatted with Song Chu for a while. No matter what he brought up, she could always keep up with him.

She even affirmed some of his new ideas and offered some useful suggestions, which he found very helpful.

He had talked about these things with others, but they were completely off-topic, which made him very frustrated. But she could completely keep up with his train of thought and ideas.

This made him feel like he had met her too late, and he felt a sense of kinship with Song Chu.

After chatting for about an hour, Song Chu raised her hand and looked at the time. “Brother Sheng, I made plans to meet up with others at four o’clock to go back. It’s almost time.”

Sheng Qingyang still wanted to talk more, but he respected her. “Okay, I’ll take you there.”

He still wanted to chat with her some more.

“Okay, thank you,” Song Chu didn’t refuse.

Sheng Qingyang stood up. “From now on, we are both colleagues and friends, so don’t be so polite with me.”

The two went out, and Sheng Qingyang personally drove her to the machinery factory.

At this time, Gu Yue had also finished his business and went to the gate of the machinery factory to meet up with Song Lao Si and the others.

Seeing Sheng Qingyang open the car door and Song Chu getting out of the car, he wasn’t too surprised.

Seeing Gu Yue, Sheng Qingyang smiled and walked over. “Gu Yue, thank you so much this time.”

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow. “What does Brother Sheng have to thank me for?”

Sheng Qingyang put his arm around Gu Yue’s shoulders in a friendly manner and smiled. “Thank you for helping me discover such a beautiful jade like Xiao Song.”

Based on Song Chu’s current performance, she was no longer unpolished jade but a beautifully carved piece of jade.

“…” Gu Yue wanted to say “hehe” to his face. Beautiful jade? Why did that sound so off?

And they had gone from Comrade Song to Xiao Song so quickly? Was Sheng Qingyang’s playboy nature acting up again?

He smiled faintly and asked, “Did she agree to join the County Economic Office?”

“Yes, I couldn’t let go of such a talent. Fortunately, she agreed,” Sheng Qingyang nodded happily.

Gu Yue smiled. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future.”

Sheng Qingyang felt that these words sounded a bit like something Gu Yue would say as Song Chu’s family member, but he didn’t think too much about it. “Of course, we are not only colleagues but also friends from now on.”

Song Chu walked over. “You’re all here. Let’s head back to the village.”

Gu Yue nodded. “Okay, otherwise it will be too late when we get back.”

“Brother Sheng, then we’ll be going now,” he said.

Sheng Qingyang smiled and waved. “Alright, be careful on the road.”

“Xiao Song, let’s keep in touch. See you!” He raised his hand and made a phone gesture to Song Chu.

Song Chu had just written down the phone numbers of the pig farm and her home for him, so they could easily contact each other.

Song Chu got on her bike and waved to him. “Goodbye, Brother Sheng!”

“…” Gu Yue’s face darkened slightly. Now she was even calling him Brother Sheng?

After riding for a while, Gu Yue spoke, “Song Xiaochu, you’re really something. You’ve only met him twice, and you’re already so close, even calling him Brother Sheng.”

Song Chu smiled. “We get along quite well in terms of economic development. He seems like a pretty good person.”

“As for calling him Brother Sheng, he asked me to call him that. He said to call him the same way you do, so it feels more like friends,” she shrugged and said.

Sheng Qingyang was several years older than her, so it was fine to call him Brother Sheng in private.

It was like how she now called Boss Hu from the black market “Brother Hu.” After all, they had become friends, and calling him Comrade xx would be too formal.

Gu Yue was speechless. Sheng Qingyang sure knew how to build relationships. “Okay, then you can call him that.”

There was no problem with this form of address. He was just worried that she would be targeted by Sheng Qingyang.

After thinking for a while, he reminded her again, “Pay attention to what I told you the other day.”

Song Chu looked at him, puzzled. “What?”

“Just keep some distance when you’re working together in the future. Don’t let him misunderstand anything,” Gu Yue replied.

Song Chu remembered that he had said Sheng Qingyang used to be a bit of a playboy, and she could see that too.

“There won’t be any misunderstanding. We are just colleagues, and at most, friends. I will definitely keep my distance from him,” she nodded.

Sheng Qingyang was a sunny and handsome guy, and it would be pleasant to work with him, but he wasn’t her type. She naturally wouldn’t give him any wrong ideas.

Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as you know what you’re doing.”

Song Chu rode beside him. “Gu, the Academic God, you seem to be in a good mood today?”

The first moment she saw him at the gate of the machinery factory, she could tell that he was in a better mood than when he first entered the town.

A hint of a smile appeared in Gu Yue’s eyes. “You’re quite observant.”

Did this mean that Song Xiaochu actually cared about him?

“What good news do you have? Share it with me,” Song Chu said with a smile.

Gu Yue saw that Song Lao Si had ridden ahead and was far enough away that he couldn’t hear them.

He lowered his voice and said, “I finally found out about my father and older brother’s whereabouts today, so I’m very happy.”

He didn’t know that Song Lao Si and Song Ping had deliberately created distance to give him and Song Chu some alone time.

Song Chu guessed it when she heard him lower his voice. “They were also sent down?”

Gu Yue nodded. “Yes, but fortunately, my father and my brother were sent down together.”

At that time, he only found out where his grandfather was sent down. There was no news about his father and older brother. Considering his grandfather’s age, he applied to come here as an educated youth, mainly to take care of his grandfather.

But he had always been worried about his father and older brother, and he had asked people to help him find them, but there was no news.

He was able to find out this time thanks to his cousin’s help.

“It’s good that you know their whereabouts. You can also ask around to see how strict it is there and whether you can send them some things,” Song Chu was also happy for him. After all, finding the whereabouts of loved ones was a good thing.

Gu Yue said without hesitation, “I plan to go there myself.”

Song Chu wasn’t surprised by his decision. She knew he was a person who valued family, which was a good thing.

“Are they far from Nan County?” she asked.

Gu Yue replied, “They are also in the south, but in another province.”

“Will it be difficult for you to go to another province?” Song Chu asked with concern.

It wasn’t easy to travel far these days. You needed to get a certificate, and you needed a reason to go to another province.

Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, “If all else fails, I’ll say I’m going there for technical exchange with the machinery factory or the steel factory. I’ll ask the two factories here to help me issue a certificate.”

It was just that this reason was a bit far-fetched.

Song Chu nodded. “This reason is a bit weak.”

She smiled and asked, “Shall I go with you? I can use the pig farm’s business trip as an excuse. I’ll say I’m going to inspect their cooked food technology to see if it can be introduced here.”

Anyway, the other villagers didn’t know much about these things, and this reason was more credible than Gu Yue going alone for technical exchange.

She could also bring her fourth brother and Sister Ping, or even bring Tang Youhua and Tang Wei along to see the world and provide cover.

I’m ordering takeout. The next chapter will be around one o’clock. I’m almost done writing~
