Aunt Liu also came to work in the afternoon, and she burst into tears when she saw Su He.

"Oh, that silly boy, how could he be so foolish? He gave up his future for a girl. My older brother and sister-in-law cried their eyes out at home. People say that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl, but who knew that the son they raised with such hard work would end up being raised by someone else."

Su He didn't know how to advise him. She also felt that Li Yi had acted impulsively, but she wasn't him and couldn't understand his feelings. She just hoped that he wouldn't regret it later.

Su He and Aunt Xu tried to comfort her, which made Aunt Liu feel a little better, but she was still worried.

But Li Yi had already left. By the time his family found out, his file had already been issued, and there was nothing they could do to change it. They could only prepare more things for him, hoping that he would have a better life over there.

The next morning, everyone in Su He's workplace held a meeting together.

This was the first time Su He had attended a meeting of all staff members since she came to the police station. The meeting was held in the large conference room at the back of the police station, and it was the first time Su He had ever known that the police station had such a place.

Upon entering the meeting room, we found it to be just like a classroom, with plenty of chairs and enough room for everyone to sit.

It seems the institute takes this meeting very seriously.

That day, those who had rested yesterday returned to work, so the staff was mostly present, except for Li Yi. Everyone had heard about his situation, and aside from sighing, there was nothing else to say.

The content of today's meeting left everyone feeling rather somber.

This meeting was personally convened by the station chief. The main point was that the police officers in the station would need to cooperate with the Revolutionary Committee as much as possible in the future. Moreover, most of their original work had been replaced by the Revolutionary Committee, which meant that their rights would be reduced in the future.

Everyone was quite angry when they heard this, but so what? After all, the Revolutionary Committee has a lot of power now.

They could only avoid direct confrontation.

After the meeting, Su He and the others returned home with heavy hearts.

Su He had studied history and knew a little about this period. It was only 1967, and there were still more than ten years until sunrise. It was still a long way off.

So let's just keep a low profile and focus on doing our own thing.

...

Because Director Wu gave her a day off yesterday, Su He went to the personnel department to get a certificate and transfer letter after the meeting, and then took a car back to the village.

He had only been back in Beijing for one day of work when he returned, which surprised the Su family.

Grandma Su thought something had happened to her and asked worriedly, "Heya, why are you back at this time? Did something happen at work?"

The rest of the family looked over with concern.

Su He smiled upon hearing this, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'm fine. I came back this time because I've been officially hired and I'm here to complete the formalities."

Grandma Su was relieved. "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. I thought... What? You said you got a permanent position?"

"What? Da Ya, you got a permanent position?"

"Really?"

The others also realized what was happening at this moment. They were stunned at first, and then asked her in disbelief to confirm.

Su He smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I've been promoted to a permanent position. I'm back to complete the formalities. Once my personnel file and household registration are transferred to the company, I'll be a full-time employee!"

"That's great! That's great!"

After hearing her confirmation, Grandma Su was immediately thrilled.

She was so happy she almost cried, and so were the rest of her family. They thought she was lucky to get a temporary job, but they never expected her to be promoted to a permanent position so quickly!

Thinking of this, everyone was happy for her.
