After Stealing a Retired Officer's Child, I Won Big in the 70s

35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.

19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...

Chapter 106 Part of the Truth (Part 1)

All of this is his speculation and may not be true.

He still has a few doubts that urgently need to be resolved.

When Shen Changan was daydreaming, the waiter who went out to inquire about the news came back again.

"Sir, I've asked about this. The last time something like that happened, the waiter resigned."

Hearing this result, Shen Changan's brows wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

The waiters in guesthouses in the 1970s were equivalent to today's civil servants.

They have formal jobs, and most people would not quit easily unless they were fired.

The last incident could have been a big deal or a small one, and in the end the hotel was not held responsible. Logically speaking, the waiter should not have resigned.

The most important thing is that the main reason for what happened was Shen Changan himself. It was because he was drunk that he gave others the opportunity to take advantage of him.

The Shen family is reasonable. They will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will they let a bad person go.

"Call your director over here. I need to understand the situation clearly."

The more Shen Changan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had originally just planned to check it out casually, but now he had found so many suspicious points.

If he didn't continue investigating along the clues, he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight because of this matter.

"Sir, our director has already left work at this time."

Shen Changan glanced at his watch and saw that there were still five minutes until the guesthouse’s catering department would get off work.

"Your director left early before the end of the shift? Even though this is a guesthouse and your job is official, you can't treat your work so casually, right?"

"The director had an emergency at home, so he asked for leave and went home early today."

Shen Changan had an accident in the guesthouse before, and he mentioned it again today. The waiter had a slight impression of him.

This person heard that his parents were high-ranking officials in the provincial capital and that all his relatives were officials, so he must have a considerable background.

Such a person is not easy to deal with, and you have to be careful when talking to him. The waiter realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed his words.

As soon as Shen Changan looked up and saw her eyes flickering, he knew she must be lying.

"I can forgive your lying, but if you treat me like a fool, I don't mind having you fired tomorrow. I believe you have recognized my identity and know that I am not joking."

"I'll give you 20 minutes. No matter what method you use, find your director immediately and tell him I have something to ask him."

The staff of the guesthouse usually live near the town, making it very convenient for them to commute to get off work.

Shen Changan gave the other party 20 minutes. As long as he was sincere, he would show up no matter what.

"Yes, yes, I'll call the director over right away. Please wait a moment!"

The waiter was startled and ran downstairs.

Shen Changan sat quietly. He could no longer care about the chaos in the guesthouse because of his words.

20 minutes later, Director Niu appeared in front of Shen Changan, panting.

As soon as he came over, he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had something to do at home today, so I went back early. I didn't expect you to look for me for something. I kept you waiting for so long. I'm really sorry!"

Director Niu's attitude is good. Shen Changan is just investigating the truth. He is not a law enforcer. As long as his goal is achieved, he is naturally unwilling to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Why did the people serving in the Ministry of Housing resign on March 31 last year?"

The waiter had already explained the situation here to Director Niu, so he naturally knew what was going on and answered with ease.

"The last time something like that happened, the waitress felt she was negligent and felt embarrassed to stay there, so she resigned."

As soon as Director Niu finished speaking, Shen Changan interrupted him with a cold voice.

"Do you think I'm a fool? I want to hear the truth, not your official rhetoric. I only need to hear this nonsense once. There's no need for both of you to tell me at once."

"If you don't want to tell the truth, that's fine. I will use all my connections to investigate the truth. If the investigation finds that you're deceiving me, I will make sure you can't survive in Baiyun Town!"

Shen Changan has always been kind to others and has been willing to help others in the past. He has never used the official pressure of his family to target anyone.

But this matter is very important to him and concerns his whole life.

If others treat him as a fool, Shen Changan doesn't mind using his own means.

Director Niu didn't expect that the seemingly gentle Shen Changan would speak so forcefully, and he was stunned.

After a fierce psychological struggle, Director Niu finally compromised.

"There are so many people here, let's talk for a moment."

Shen Changan nodded gently, his face was very cold. Whether the other party wanted to be a human or a ghost, he would give him a chance and would fulfill his wish.

The two men came to the box and Director Niu closed the door.

Shen Changan pulled a stool and sat down casually. It was obviously a very ordinary posture, but Director Niu felt unprecedented pressure.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"This matter, this matter, is really hard to say. If I tell the truth, I might even lose my job."

When Shen Changan heard Director Niu's words, he knew that he was seeking asylum. Shen Changan was eager to know the truth, so he spoke directly.

"Tell me everything about what happened at that time and the situation with the waiter. If you are not lying and the whole thing is reasonable, then if you are implicated in this matter later, our Shen family can protect you."

After receiving a word of affirmation from Shen Changan, Director Niu finally calmed down.

"Not long after your incident, that employee resigned. From what I understand, his family was in dire straits, and it took a lot for him to get this job."

"As far as I know, he would never resign unless his company fired him, but it just happened to happen, so I investigated him privately."

"It turned out that after leaving the company, the employee moved his family to another town and found a better job than the current one."

Director Niu lowered his voice. He didn't dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.

After listening to this, Shen Changan nodded. Director Niu's statement was reasonable and did not seem to be deceiving him.

"Since no one is threatening you, you can speak freely about this matter. Why did you lie to me before?"

"Well, speaking of this matter, it's my own fault for being careless. I was targeted when I went to investigate that employee."

"He also warned me privately not to say anything. If I told anyone about this, he would make me lose my job and have someone else make me suffer!"

Director Niu sighed heavily. Now that he had revealed the secret, he didn't know what kind of storm was waiting for him.

"How could that person be so bold? Who warned you? Tell me, and I'll take care of it for you!"
