Lin Chuxia took the newspaper, and indeed it reported on Qin Yang’s work unit, which had made a major technological breakthrough in engineering for bridges, a field previously unexplored domestically.
The article was lengthy, covering almost the entire page, elaborating on the event, including some details of the breakthrough process, and even featuring an interview with Bai Xiaoming.
In the interview, he mentioned that his colleague had made significant contributions to the breakthrough, suggesting that the bold proposal originated from his colleague.
Lin Chuxia noticed with care that Bai Xiaoming mentioned the difficulties involved in implementing this technology; they had invested a lot, and some had even been injured.
For some reason, upon seeing the mention of injuries, Lin Chuxia suddenly felt a surge of anxiety.
She flipped through the newspaper further, but didn’t see any other related reports.
"Big Brother, can you check if there are other news about this matter in different newspapers?"
Qin Han had bought a plethora of newspapers, not only local ones but seemingly all that the newsstand had, even including some outdated ones.
The newspaper they had been looking at was from a week ago.
"Here’s another one," Qin Han brought out another newspaper, which was national.
Lin Chuxia took it and looked through it carefully, noting that it wasn’t as detailed as the previous one.
Qin Han also confirmed that the newspaper articles reported about his brother’s work unit.
"I wonder how the younger brother is doing now. Usually, with the cold weather, the project progresses would be halted. Although he’d still be at the unit during past winters, there wouldn’t be much work, and he’d write home more often. But I haven’t received a reply to the last letter I sent him; probably busy with this project."
Hearing this, Lin Chuxia turned to him, "Big Brother, you wrote to Qin Yang too? When?"
Her tone was somewhat anxious, and Qin Han was momentarily startled, "Just recently, when our branch opened and you asked me to be the manager. This was my first time in such a position, so I wrote to tell him about it, and it’s been about half a month..."
He smiled naively, but Lin Chuxia’s expression grew solemn.
Her letter had been sent nearly twenty days ago, and Big Brother’s half a month ago. It’s unlikely that both letters were lost without delivery.
Knowing Qin Yang’s nature, he would surely have replied upon receiving their letters. Hence, they should have received responses by now.
Seeing Lin Chuxia silent for a long time, Qin Han asked, "Is something wrong, Sister-in-law?"
Lin Chuxia shook her head, just as their meal was ready, "It’s nothing, Big Brother, let’s eat."
Some things were only her suspicions, and there was no need to worry everyone until confirmed.
Besides, in her past life, she never heard of any serious incidents involving Qin Yang.
After finishing their meal, Lin Chuxia wanted to buy another copy of the newspaper, thinking Qin Han just wanted it for the collection of Qin Yang’s related news, he directly handed it to her.
Both of them rode back to the delicatessen in a tricycle.
You can’t say that men don’t like vehicles; once the tricycle entered the yard, Jia Liang, Hou Xiaobao, Su Wensong, and Pang Yongli, everyone gathered around.
Had Ma Yingzi not been watching the pot, they might have forgot their tasks.
"Manager Qin, you really can ride, huh?" Hou Xiaobao said with admiration.
