The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 262 - 260 I’m very disappointed in you.

Looking at Zhou Cheng’s retreating figure, Shi Caixia furrowed her brows as she watched him open his mouth.

At this moment, she felt it was quite tragic.

Although Zhou Cheng was a bit out of sorts, it could not be denied that it was due to his dedication at his post that the order in C City was still stable.

And with such natural and man-made disasters, the death rate at the garrison was extremely high. Why shouldn’t they receive respect from others?

Shi Caixia’s eyes reddened as she stood up, looking at Zhou Cheng’s figure facing the snowstorm.

He looked so majestic that it made one want to cry.

Next, the young garrison soldier who had come to deliver the message finished speaking,

"Those 500 people who came from the front, all of them have been killed, not one survivor made it here."

Shi Caixia: "..."

Zhou Cheng: "..." What happened to the tragic sorrow?

The next instant, Zhou Cheng turned serious and reacted,

"There must be deceit, quick, take me to see."

Then he ran out of the big tent like he was fleeing.

Carrying the young garrison soldier with him, he went forward to investigate. As soon as he left, Zhong Zimo slipped into Shi Caixia’s tent.

Upon seeing Zhong Zimo, Shi Caixia encrypted the contract she had been writing on her computer and shut it down.

Seeing her do this, Zhong Zimo chuckled:

"What? So secretive now? People who know what we do for a living understand, but those who don’t might think we’ve broken up."

Shi Caixia, with her head bowed, smiled shyly:

"Protecting client confidentiality is our fundamental professional ethic, as our mentor said."

She had no intention of breaking up with Zhong Zimo, not even if Ma Yongchun and Qin Zhen had broken up.

But professional ethics are professional ethics. If Qin Zhen had assigned Shi Caixia to serve Hua Mi, then Shi Caixia had to keep the content of Hua Mi’s contract confidential.

No one else was allowed to see it.

Seeing her bashful demeanor, Zhong Zimo moved closer, looked at the locked computer interface, and gently tousled her hair,

"You really are... So, are you helping Hua Mi now?"

Shi Caixia slightly furrowed her brows, wondering why—maybe it was her misperception or perhaps it was because hers and Zhong Zimo’s standings were in opposition—why did she always feel like Zhong Zimo was probing her?

Or rather, was he trying to figure out Hua Mi’s resource tracks by investigating her?

"Working for her isn’t bad, but she isn’t as approachable as she seems, she’s a very dangerous person."

Seeing Shi Caixia remain silent, Zhong Zimo continued,

"Look at how she can talk to anyone, moving freely within the garrison quarters. Those on garrison duty are men who lick blood from the knife’s edge, different from us who are more cultured."

"Hua Mi has a deep relationship with the garrison, clearly, she too must be fierce. Being close to her, you must be cautious in everything."

"I’m just worried about you, afraid you might, like during your school days, be careless in judging people, naively doing others’ bidding and ending up burdening yourself without benefit."

At first, what Zhong Zimo said seemed reasonable, but the more he spoke, the more uncomfortable Shi Caixia felt.

She brushed away Zhong Zimo’s hand that was rubbing her head and said very seriously,

"Senior Brother, in fact, Ah Mi is a very nice person. She’s very approachable, not as repulsive as you describe."

At first, Shi Caixia too thought that Hua Mi was difficult to approach.

A woman who can move freely among a large group of strong soldiers stationed at Garrison and still maintain strong relationships with them is a proof of her capabilities.

But after interacting with Hua Mi, Shi Caixia discovered that although Hua Mi’s moral standards were low, she wasn’t amoral.

Moreover, Hua Mi was very easy to get along with, as long as you didn’t try to play mind games with her, she was extremely generous to those around her.

Everyone around her was quite lavish in spending, because Hua Mi gave them a lot.

Even Shi Caixia, who merely helped Hua Mi draft a contract, found her tent filled with 10 chocolate cakes, 30 tomato-flavored self-heating mini hot pots, two large snake skin bags of caramel-flavored sunflower seeds, a huge sack of automatic pencils, water-gloss transparent BB cream, and heating shoe pads each filled in a large sack...

The sacks were so full that Hua Mi couldn’t even zip them up.

So how was Hua Mi difficult to deal with, as Zhong Zimo had said?

Once you got the hang of her temperament, she was really quite easy to get along with.

Zhong Zimo’s face darkened,

"You’ve always judged people by appearances, and it seems you haven’t changed that habit yet."

"If there’s anything, you should ask me more. With the situation being so chaotic and you not having a broad perspective, you definitely need to ask me more. Now, apart from trusting me, who else can you trust?"

Shi Caixia kept her head down and remained silent. She and Zhong Zimo had studied under the same mentor; he was her senior and also her boyfriend.

Logically, having lost her parents and family, she indeed should trust Zhong Zimo the most.

She was indeed naive and not as intelligent as Zhong Zimo, nor did she have his boldness and daring.

Their mentor often said she wasn’t as courageous as her senior, nor did she possess his resolution.

"But..."

Shi Caixia spoke softly,

"Now each of us serves our master, maintains our duty, and keeping our employer’s privacy is our professional ethics."

She couldn’t see the bigger picture, nor did she have great ambitions as a humble law graduate.

Her goal had always been simple and clear: just to make a living.

Breaching an employer’s privacy meant losing professional ethics, and without professional ethics, no one would employ her anywhere.

That was the most basic.

Zhong Zimo’s gaze gradually turned colder,

"Shi Caixia, are you trying to break up with me? I am only concerned about you as a boyfriend. I hope you can tell me anything and keep no secrets from me."

"Do you realize that the deal between Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng could endanger Xiang City, and you, being in the know, refuse to divulge even a word to your boyfriend?"

"Just talk, perhaps I can help you think of a way to stop the deal between Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng."

Shi Caixia pressed her lips tightly and lowered her head, saying nothing.

She insisted on not saying a word about Hua Mi’s matter.

Whether it endangered Xiang City or not, Shi Caixia didn’t know, despite the fact that the contract she drafted involved a large quantity of weapons and supplies.

All she knew was that her job was this: to write contracts, explain the contents, and modify them according to the employer’s wishes...

"Shi Caixia, I am very disappointed in you."

Zhong Zimo left in frustration; Shi Caixia, who had always been compliant and looked at him with admiring eyes, was now as tough as a bone with no sign of softening.

This was unexpected for Zhong Zimo.

Just as he stepped out of Shi Caixia’s tent, he saw a group of Garrison soldiers lining up in front of another tent.

Those soldiers were there to receive weapons.
