Chapter 67 Ji Sisi Makes Empty Promises
"It's too late to say all this now. When you and Aunt Wang took my money, it wasn't like this at all."

Qi Yan sat opposite Ji Nian, his expression indifferent, his dark eyes cold to the extreme.

He wasn't stupid. The woman he rescued that day dragged him through the water to exhaust him before quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Finally, Ji Nian happened to bring Si Si to rescue him.

He has figured all of this out.

Regardless of whether it was what he thought or not, his intuition told him that Ji Nian was not a good person.

Moreover, when he proposed annuling the engagement, Ji Nian remained silent and tacitly agreed throughout the process that Wang Cuifen would demand compensation for annulment.

In addition to the 1,000 yuan dowry from Ji Sisi, he also gave 500 yuan in compensation.

"No, Qi Yan, let me explain. It was all my mother's fault. If I didn't do it, she would beat me to death."

Ji Nian left her seat and rushed to Qi Yan, trying to grab him, but he dodged her.

She stood there helplessly, tears streaming down her face.

"That's enough, I'm coming here."

"There's no way I'm leaving. I'm almost 20 years old now, and we were even betrothed when we were kids. What man would want me if word got out? Unless you solve my marriage problem, I'd rather die than leave!"

Ji Nian's expression changed instantly, and she insisted that Qi Yan introduce her to a potential partner.

Director Fu and the inspectors also stood outside the door listening to the conversation between the two.

"Impossible. If you don't go back, then you'll be automatically choosing option two."

This was the first time Qi Yan had ever encountered a threat in his life. He got up to leave the room, saying, "If you dare to fabricate anything that is detrimental to Sisi, I won't let you off easy, even if I have to take off these clothes."

Seeing that Qi Yan really showed no sign of backing down, Ji Nian panicked completely.

She snatched the pen from the table, uncapped it, and held the sharp nib to her neck. "Qi Yan, if you don't agree to my terms, I'll die right here!"

Her threat of suicide did not bring Qi Yan back.

Seeing that Qi Yan was really about to leave, Ji Nian was so angry that her body was trembling. She gripped the pen tightly, and the nib was pressed against her neck, digging into her skin.

Ji Nian's gaze was burning with desire, her heart yearning for Qi Yan to turn back. If he did, she would still have a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise, given Qi Yan's abilities, she really would have been sent back to Jianghai.

At that point, her life will be completely over, perhaps even shorter than in her previous life, and she might even be executed.

With this in mind, Ji Nian made up her mind to take a gamble.

"Since you're so heartless, then I'll die right here!" She suddenly raised her hand, ready to stab the pen into her neck.

Qi Yan paused for a second, but still didn't turn around. To him, a woman who was full of lies and had a questionable background wasn't worth his help.

He also believed that Sisi wouldn't blame him.

Director Fu and his colleagues from the intelligence bureau rushed into the room to stop them.

"stop--"

"Comrade Ji, what are you doing!"

The two arrived too late. The pen in Ji Nian's hand had already pierced a small section of her neck, and blood was gushing out from her neck. The amount was small, but it looked horrifying.

Director Fu, with a dark expression, called out to Qi Yan.

"Qi Yan, stop right there! Come with us to the infirmary and apologize to Comrade Ji Nian!"

Qi Yan refused, "I didn't do anything to wrong her, why should I apologize?"

The intelligence agency comrades carried Ji Nian and rushed to the infirmary for emergency treatment.

Director Fu was furious. "Given your current sensitive nature and the fact that you're easily targeted, you should be careful. Why are you deliberately trying to kill someone?!" Qi Yan: "..."

"Even if you don't agree to Comrade Ji Nian's request, I will! Right now, none of you are allowed to cause any more problems!"

After finishing his tirade, Director Fu stormed off in a huff.

Fu Zhengbo never expected that someone who was practically half-buried in the ground would still have to do matchmaking work, and the thought of it annoyed him.
-
Ji Sisi rode her bicycle back to the sixth team. Two-thirds of the land had already been cleared. In order to save time, the commune members had started to clear the land while planting to ensure production.

Ji Sisi solved the fertilizer problem for Team Six and became a great contributor; everyone greeted her with respect.

"Sisi, you're back. Come on, I'll take you to see the test site. You'll be going to the institute to report to them in a couple of days."

Captain Ma called out to Ji Sisi from a distance.

Ji Sisi jogged to his side and followed him to the test site.

Since Chen Chen's last visit, and after providing the fertilizer he mentioned that needed to be replenished, the potato seedlings in the experimental plot look much more vigorous.

"These researchers are really amazing. Look at these leaves, they're much greener and more lush than the ones we grow. I just wonder how the potatoes are doing underneath."

Ji Sisi followed behind Captain Ma, listening quietly to what he had to say.

Listen to him explain what aspects he needs to report and what points he needs to emphasize.

After understanding the situation, Captain Ma asked her, "Did you say there was any progress on that tractor project?"

Although he knew the chances were slim, Captain Ma gradually began to trust Ji Sisi after the last incident.

“Captain Ma, your question is very timely. I’ll go to the agricultural machinery bureau in a couple of days to ask about tractors and try to get them to our team as soon as possible. In the next few days, just have them plant some sesame seeds and wait for the tractor to come and drive the soil.”

Captain Ma, who was prone to mishearing, picked at his ear.

"You...really managed to get this done?"

Ji Sisi smiled and agreed, "You heard me right, I did borrow the tractor. Did you listen to what the commune members said about sesame seeds?"

Captain Ma was overjoyed and his emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

After saying "okay" several times, he asked uncertainly, "I've taken your advice, but are you sure you can borrow it this time? What if you meet them and they refuse to lend it to you?"

"I wouldn't say for sure, but the chances are high. After all, plans can't keep up with changes, and we can't be 100% certain that there won't be any unexpected situations."

Ji Sisi felt that it was almost certain; the only question was how strong Qi Yan's relationship with that person was.

Captain Ma thought about it and agreed. Ji Sisi, an outsider, had already surpassed 80% or 90% of people in terms of what she had done. What more could he ask of her?

"Sisi, our team is so lucky to have you. How about I talk to Director Yan and let you be the production team leader?"

Captain Ma felt guilty, "I've been a captain for so many years, and the contributions I've made are less than what you've made in just one month. I've let the team down."

"Captain Ma, what you're saying is pointless. You've been working tirelessly for Team Six, and the time you've spent is a contribution, isn't it? Compared to you, I'm far behind. Besides, I'm just an outsider, so my words certainly don't carry the same weight as yours. Let's all work together to make Team Six an advanced production team!"

As Ji Sisi spoke, she began to make grand promises to Captain Ma.

People always need something to strive for.

"I'll be grateful if we can be considered an advanced production team. As long as we don't drag the commune down, I'll thank God and Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

Captain Ma was amused by Ji Sisi.

"Anything is possible. A month ago, would you have imagined that the agricultural supplies institute would sponsor fertilizer for us? Would you have thought that the agricultural machinery bureau would lend us a tractor?"

Captain Ma's confidence suddenly increased after Ji Sisi's words.

"You've really given me a lot of energy!"

Ji Sisi: Never mind, we're incredibly strong right now!
I'm here to ask for some positive reviews!
