Chen Jun was consequently promoted to deputy section chief, a development that filled him with excitement and pride. At the same time, Xu Liang stepped up to replace Chen Jun as team leader of the first team, while Xu Hua took over from Xushu as deputy team leader. Although others harbored private reservations about these arrangements, they had no choice but to keep their thoughts to themselves. After all, who could blame anyone but themselves for failing to meet their procurement quotas?
Aside from this, another piece of good news arrived: Yu Li, Chen Xue, and Wang Mei were all pregnant, one after another! This news brought immense joy to everyone, especially Xu Haitao and the others, who were practically beside themselves with excitement. Xu Hua and Xu Liang were even more impatient, eagerly bringing their mothers over to prepare for the arrival of the new lives.
Yet, for Xushu, this wave of good news hardly felt like good news at all. Because he had yet to find a suitable partner, Li Xiurong was constantly beside herself with worry over his marital prospects. Now that Xu Haitao and the others were all expecting children, Xushu had been subjected to no small amount of lecturing from Li Xiurong during this period. Of course, this could hardly be blamed on Xushu; what could he do if none of the prospective matches caught his eye? He could hardly just grab someone off the street to make do for the rest of his life.
