CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 22: GETTING RICH WITH THE POCKET DIMENSION 4

The young man beside her didn’t want to stop her, but Jiang Mingyue moved too quickly; by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

And at this moment, the person on the ground happened to move, instantaneously stopping the words the young man was about to say.

"Manager... Manager Zhuang..."

The young man hurriedly helped the other person sit up.

The man initially panted lightly, and after catching his breath, he scanned the circle of people surrounding him, his gaze immediately fixed on Jiang Mingyue.

"Little girl, was it you who saved me?"

Finally, someone with a good eye.

Seeing that he had regained his composure, Jiang Mingyue reprimanded, "You have myocarditis, so you should pay more attention to your health and always keep your medicine with you. Today, you were just lucky."

The other person expressed his gratitude repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you, girl. If not for the savior today, I’m afraid my old life would have ended here. But little did you know, even if I knew about my illness, what could I do?"

Jiang Mingyue suddenly recalled that in this era, there was not only a scarcity of food and clothes but also a shortage of medicine, especially Western medicine, which was extremely rare. That’s why so many barefoot doctors emerged over the years, but they could only treat common illnesses. They were mostly powerless against such difficult and complicated diseases.

Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment and handed the newly opened bottle of medicine to him.

"Take this. Keep it for emergencies."

The man was particularly moved. After all, people want to live, yet he felt unworthy of receiving it.

"Savior, are you really giving this to me?"

"Without a doubt."

"But this is too precious. I can’t simply take advantage of your kindness." Saying this, he rummaged through all his pockets and handed over all the vouchers and money he could find to Jiang Mingyue.

"Savior, please don’t refuse. Compared to my life, these things are nothing. Oh, by the way, I’m the manager of the department store up front. If you ever need anything, feel free to come to me. Also, my surname is Zhuang, Zhuang Yunshan."

Jiang Mingyue didn’t expect such coincidence and was about to say something when Xiao Jiang Ran, who was pulling on her sleeve, spoke first.

"My big brother works there too!" Mentioning his big brother made the little guy beam with pride.

The man also seemed surprised and happily asked for the name.

"My big brother’s name is Jiang Ming’an. I’m his brother Jiang Ran, and this is my sister Jiang Mingyue."

Mentioning Jiang Ming’an made Zhuang Yunshan visibly excited. He slapped his thigh and said, "I thought I recognized you from somewhere. So you’re Ming’an’s brother and sister. That’s great. I’m just about to head back to the department store, and you can come with me. Didn’t Ming’an take leave? But he left his coat and tea mug behind. Let’s go. You can help him gather his things, so he doesn’t get cold or thirsty."

With someone speaking like this, they must have a good relationship.

Jiang Mingyue considered that it was also possible that someone familiar might have secretly hit her brother over the head.

There could be personal enmity or conflicts of interest involved. When they meet those colleagues, she could use her spiritual power to check things out.

Thinking of it this way, it seemed Manager Zhuang was just bringing the pillow over, so she had no reason not to agree.

"Would it be too much trouble?"

Manager Zhuang waved his hand, "Not at all. You’re Ming’an’s family, and it’s perfectly reasonable for family to visit."

Having agreed with Manager Zhuang, the siblings followed him.

Manager Zhuang and the young man led them in from the back of the department store. "This is the backyard of the department store, the place where our internal staff enters daily."

Manager Zhuang was clearly familiar with the guard, who greeted him with a smile when he saw him.

They went straight to the western end of the third-floor corridor, where a sign reading "Procurement Department" was located.

Manager Zhuang introduced them with a smile, "Let’s go inside and help your brother with his coat."

On the desk near the window was the only green plant in the office. Manager Zhuang pointed and said, "This is your brother’s desk. Go ahead, get his coat." With that, Manager Zhuang greeted a few subordinate employees who had noticed his arrival.

"This is your brother’s best friend, Xue Hong," Manager Zhuang pointed to a young man across from their brother’s desk.

In fact, Jiang Mingyue had noticed him when she first came in. Among the dozen people working there, he was the only one who had a fleeting look of panic when he saw Xiao Ran, clearly recognizing him. But... why panic?

Could it just be that Xiao Ran was a five-year-old kid, or was this person guilty of something?

"Xue Hong, these are Jiang Ming’an’s brother and sister. You’ve probably heard of them."

"Yes, Ming’an often mentioned you both."

Jiang Mingyue quietly observed this person who spoke such blatant lies.

She, Jiang Mingyue, had only just returned to the rural Jiang Family, so even if Jiang Ming’an mentioned someone, it couldn’t have been her.

Clearly, something was wrong with this person.

Jiang Mingyue immediately activated her spiritual power to attack him.

Events flashed through her mind like movie frames.

When she saw Xue Hong taking advantage of Jiang Ming’an being in the bathroom, suddenly striking him from behind, Jiang Mingyue wanted to beat up this sneaky scoundrel in front of her.

Who could be like the person in front of her, calling you "brother" to your face but sabotaging you behind your back? All for the position of procurement director.

It turned out the previous procurement director had a sudden illness during the New Year, and his family arranged for him to retire due to illness, leaving the position of procurement director vacant.

A week ago, the higher-ups announced that the new procurement director would be elected publicly within the procurement department. Jiang Ming’an had the most support in the department. Although he had only been in the position for four short years, he had achieved significant accomplishments for the company and was capable and well-liked. It was clear that his election as director was undeniable.

Because of this established fact, Xue Hong developed malicious intentions. He believed he was not inferior to Jiang Ming’an in any way. Jiang Ming’an only had the upper hand by winning over people’s hearts, which made everyone in the procurement department support him. He thought if Jiang Ming’an went crazy or became foolish, the position of procurement director would naturally be his.

Ha! Hello, murderer! Jiang Mingyue absolutely would not let such a hypocrite continue to harm her brother.

For the first time, Jiang Mingyue attacked the person’s nervous system. She couldn’t let something happen to him right in front of her, so she controlled the force to delay the harm.

Moments after, as Manager Zhuang escorted Jiang Mingyue and her sibling out the back door, someone came running in a panic to report.

"Manager, Manager Zhuang, something’s wrong. A worker was hit while crossing the road by a tractor."

As for Xue Hong, he had been watching from behind the curtain as Jiang Mingyue and her sibling left, seemingly still uneasy. He made up an excuse to his colleagues about going to the bathroom and then sneaked out the backdoor, walking onto the road. He looked around vigilantly, but at that moment, his head suddenly lost control.

The person driving the tractor was from a local commune attending a meeting. Seeing someone standing fearlessly in the middle of the road, the driver quickly turned to avoid the person, but the person seemed determined to confront him and suddenly rushed over.

So, rather than saying the tractor hit someone, it was more accurate to say someone ran into the tractor and got themselves thrown.

So this incident became a bit troublesome. After Manager Zhuang came to understand the cause and effect, he also found it quite perplexing.

Since the error wasn’t on the driver’s side, they had to let him go, instructing someone to take Xue Hong to the hospital.
