Chapter 417: Chapter 150: The Green Tea Female Side Character in a Period Novel (37)

Chi Yun’er continued to hold down the fort at the retail department, spending her days writing and drawing, trying to ensure the restaurant would be a booming success once it opened.

"Comrade, could you help me get a partner?" a clear, cheerful male voice drifted in.

The two female comrades busy in the retail department glared. Who was so reckless as to dare harass a woman in broad daylight?

Chi Yun’er was also furious. ’What does he mean, get him a partner? We’re respectable businesspeople here. I sell all sorts of things, but not myse...’

But when she looked up and saw the man’s handsome and refined appearance, she froze for a moment, then smiled. "Of course, handsome. How do I look?"

The two salesclerks covered their faces. ’Director Chi, have some self-respect! You already have a boyfriend!’

’Even though this comrade is ridiculously handsome, so much so that the sunlight is just a backdrop for him, he’s still just an ordinary person.’

The man nodded. "Acceptable. You’re cute and well-behaved. I like you quite a bit."

A blush spread across Chi Yun’er’s face. Seeing the two young salesclerks frozen in shock, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she asked:

"Brother Hua, when did you get here?"

"Are you leaving again this time?"

Jiang Yihua smiled and said, "I arrived early this morning. I’ve finished up my work over there, so I’ll be stationed in the Capital City long-term from now on."

"I report to the agricultural institute tomorrow. The organization assigned my experimental fields in the suburbs, but they’ve provided me with a jeep."

"Director Chi, if you cover the gas, how about I take you for a drive?"

Chi Yun’er followed his gesture and saw an army-green jeep parked in the courtyard. It was especially beautiful and cool-looking.

She smiled and nodded. "I haven’t taken a single day off this past month, you know. Before that row of houses by the hospital’s east wall is built, I can take all my accumulated days off!"

The young woman’s moist, foxy eyes curved into crescents. Her fair face, with its slight baby fat, was soft, delicate, and utterly adorable.

The meaning behind her words was that she knew he was coming back and had purposely not taken a single day off, waiting to free up her schedule to spend more time with him.

Such a girlfriend filled his heart with overwhelming warmth!

He smiled and couldn’t resist stroking her fluffy hair. "I also worked overtime to finish my tasks and applied for a ten-day vacation."

"I was wondering, Ms. Chi, if you have time to register our marriage and hold a wedding with me?"

Chi Yun’er pouted. "And I’m supposed to marry you just because you say so?"

Jiang Yihua’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. The longing within them made the tall, well-built man seem pitiful and aggrieved.

She chuckled and said, "Let’s get married on the last day of your vacation. Before that, we need to date!"

It was still marriage, but the timing made a world of difference.

The man had to look pitifully at the woman, restraining himself from devouring her whole.

The woman, on the other hand, could use the time before marriage to be as playfully coy as she wanted!

Jiang Yihua nodded helplessly. What else could he do but accept?

Seeing it was about time, Chi Yun’er smiled, grabbed her bag, and said, "I’m going to the Human Resources Department to request time off! You two keep up the good work. Vice Director Xu and Deputy Director Zhao will be dropping by to supervise from time to time."

The two salesclerks nodded repeatedly. Their jobs hadn’t come easy, and Lady Luck had only smiled upon them because of their good performance in the past.

So, to be even luckier in the future, they had to keep working hard.

After a quick trip to the Human Resources Department, Chi Yun’er managed to scrape together a ten-day vacation for herself as well.

Jiang Yihua drove her directly to the agricultural institute.

The institute wasn’t too far from the hospital, but it was still a twenty-minute bike ride.

"A lot of employees have returned to the institute recently, so the family housing is in high demand. Let’s go pick out a suitable floor plan and level first." That was why he had brought his registration materials with him today.

Chi Yun’er nodded, pondering internally, ’I’ve made quite a contribution to the hospital. I wonder if I can apply for housing too?’

’If there aren’t enough houses, I’ll make do with a commercial property!’

’That could work.’

After he finished his registration, Jiang Yihua led Chi Yun’er to the family residential area to look at houses, following behind a young clerk from the logistics department.

He watched as Chi Yun’er, like a little scholar, seriously conducted her field survey, her expression lively and rich as she alternately frowned and beamed, then nodded or shook her head.

Jiang Yihua couldn’t help but smile and ask her, "Yunyun, do you prefer an apartment building or a single-story house?"

The agricultural institute had many researchers and some logistics staff, so most of its family residential area was still composed of single-story houses.

However, two rows of eight family apartment buildings had just been completed, and almost all the employees had signed up and were waiting in line to choose one. One row was a very typical tube-like apartment building, a Third Layer, with about ten households on each level.

The other row was comprised of apartment buildings with one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units.

Jiang Yihua was a technical specialist, so he had priority in choosing.

Chi Yun’er walked around, her hands behind her back, inspecting each one. The apartment buildings and the single-story houses each had their own pros and cons.
