Chapter 124 Come to Apologize
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You helped us so much last time, and we haven't even had a chance to properly thank you yet."

As Ji Sisi spoke, she placed the things she was holding on the bedside table.

Song Changgui said reservedly, "Director Yan, Sisi, please have a seat."

Ji Sisi glanced at the only chair available for accompanying patients, and silently pulled it in front of Director Yan, "Director Yan, please sit down."

Only after Song Changgui finished speaking did he notice that his expression was somewhat embarrassed.

Director Yan first exchanged a few greetings, and after noticing the young man's reserved manner, he withdrew from their conversation.

"By the way, Sisi, I've already printed out all the photos from your wedding banquet and sent them to my sister. Or should I have her bring them to you tomorrow?"

Song Changgui couldn't find a topic to talk about, and suddenly remembered the photos taken at the wedding banquet.

"Tomorrow probably won't work. I'll just go to Sister Ping's house next time. Thank you for your help."

Otherwise, Ji Sisi would have forgotten about it again.

Song Changgui smiled and shook his head, "Okay, then I'll tell my sister."

"By the way, Changgui, how did you get this injury?" Ji Sisi suddenly realized that she hadn't checked on anyone's injuries since she arrived.

Song Changgui leaned against the headboard and began to recount his story.

He was ambushed by human traffickers while on a mission, but fortunately the wound wasn't deep, though he bled a little more.

"Is Big Sister here?" Zhang Zhizhi walked into the ward carrying a thermos of warm water. She saw who was sitting...

Ji Sisi turned around, "Zhizhi, what brings you here too?"

Her gaze fell on the thermos in Zhang Zhizhi's hand, as if she understood something. She had heard Sister Ping say that she wanted to introduce her younger brother to Zhizhi. It seemed that she had succeeded.

"I... I came to see him after get off work. Sisi, what brings you here?"

Zhang Zhizhi hurriedly picked up the thermos and put it away.

Ji Sisi saw through it but didn't say anything, and made an excuse to give the two of them some space to be alone.

"I came to see you after Director Wu told me that you were injured and hospitalized. It's getting late, and Director Yan and I have to catch our ride, so we'll be leaving now."

"Then I'll see you off."

Zhang Zhizhi accompanied her out. She walked beside Ji Sisi, pondering how to explain her relationship with Changgui to Sisi.

The incident happened so suddenly that she couldn't even find the words to tell Sisi when she arrived at the hospital.

"Zhizhi, don't see us off. We'll be leaving now. I'll come see him again in a few days."

Ji Sisi waved goodbye, thinking that she would have to find time to come back and pick up the photos in a few days.

It was already 4 PM when we arrived at the office. As soon as we arrived, Xiao Tao from the communications room came out and bowed.
"Director Yan, this is a telegram from the county party committee. Please take a look."

Xiao Tao placed the telegram on the table and left.

The above instructions are for Ji Sisi to write a proposal and bring it to the county government compound next Tuesday.

"Sisi, finish this plan as soon as possible. Then we can discuss it and see if there are any areas that need improvement. If we can get County Chief Wei's support, our commune will be really successful."

Director Yan exclaimed, "The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Sisi is just a woman in her early twenties, yet she has already reached this level, which is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Judging from the current situation, it's not impossible for Ji Sisi to surpass him in the future.

We need to cultivate good relationships now, so that people will remember our kindness in the future; that will only bring good, not bad.

Ji Sisi's pressure increased dramatically. In her previous life, she was mostly involved in writing scripts and thinking about shooting materials. After transmigrating, she was dealing with the commune director and had frequent contact with leaders. Now, she had even reached the point of communicating face-to-face with the county magistrate.

Ji Sisi rode her bike much slower than usual. When she arrived home, the front door was unusually open.

The aroma of food filled the air as soon as I entered, instantly dispelling all my stress.

"Sisi is back. We've prepared dinner and are just waiting for you."

Lin Miao carried the dishes out of the kitchen. Judging from the conversation, Li Hongying and others were also inside.

Ji Sisi was surprised and stared blankly at the kitchen, which hadn't been used for a long time.

"What day is it today?"

She parked her car and walked towards the kitchen. The aroma of meat immediately whetted her appetite.

In the cramped kitchen, Li Hongying was in charge of cooking, Lin Peifeng was tending the fire, and Zhao Jianshe, whom we hadn't seen in a long time, was preparing the ingredients.

"Looking at Sisi like this, she probably forgot about Director Qi's birthday, right?" Li Hongying turned her head and joked, "But then again, Sisi is so busy with work, it's understandable."

Lin Peifeng raised his head, "Sister-in-law Hongying, you can't say that. Whether or not I should forgive you is a question for my eldest brother."

"You little brat, you can't stand seeing your sister-in-law and your boss getting along, can you?"

Zhao Jianshe taught Lin Peifeng a lesson.

Ji Sisi was momentarily taken aback. Today was Qi Yan's birthday?
She had never asked him about his birthday, and he had never brought it up. She had thought he would bring it up a couple of days before his birthday, but now…

Not only did she not prepare a gift, she also forgot the person's birthday.

"I've been really busy with things at the office lately, so I forgot," Ji Sisi said awkwardly. "Thank you for remembering me. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Hongying stirs the twice-cooked pork in the wok, saying, "You just got off work, so don't bother with this. Go sit down and rest for a while."

Ji Sisi still wanted to salvage the situation, thinking of cooking a dish to alleviate her guilt, but the three of them wouldn't give her a chance at all.

After putting the vegetables in the kitchen, Lin Miao was even more straightforward; she pulled Ji Sisi out of the kitchen.

"I'm telling you, Qi Yan is coming later, so be prepared."

"Why should I be mentally prepared for her to come? Didn't she learn her lesson and behave herself last time?"

Lin Miao shook her head with considerable experience, "One should always be wary of others, and... I heard from my mother that Aunt Shen seems to have news about Yan Yan, and in a few days Aunt Shen will be taking Yan Yan back to the capital."

So I'm worried that Qi Yan might suddenly go crazy under pressure. Anyway, we should all be careful not to let her talk nonsense.

Ji Sisi nodded thoughtfully, her thoughts already drifting far away.

Qi Yan returned from the office after all the dishes were ready, with Qi Yan following behind him.

"Director Qi, this must be your sister. She's so pretty. And you know what, her eyes do look a bit like yours. No wonder you're siblings."

As soon as Li Hongying sat down at the table, one sentence silenced the five people in the know.

Qi Yan remained expressionless, raised his teacup, and said, "Thank you for your hard work today, sister-in-law. I still have to go back to the office to finish the remaining work, so drinking is not convenient. I will offer you a toast with tea instead of wine."

Li Hongying quickly raised her wine glass.

"It's nothing. Your brother Zhao and I came here today to apologize to you and Peifeng for what happened on the last mission. You're all so busy, it's rare for you to have a proper meal together. We thought we'd take this opportunity to make amends to you properly today."

Qi Yan was surprised and began to explain.

"This has little to do with Brother Zhao. Those people came specifically for us; it was intentional. Besides, our goal was to protect our belongings. Brother Zhao has done nothing to wrong us."

Lin Peifeng never expected that this was the real reason why Zhao Jianshe and Li Hongying came to his door.
