Chapter 458: Resumption of Work
It took Lin Anan two full days to recover.
I got up early, took a shower, put on my brand new military uniform, and prepared to go to the army.
This is the first day back to work after giving birth. The leaders of the Intelligence Analysis Department treat her well and take so much care of her, so naturally she has to work hard and give back to the organization.
"Let's go."
Chu Mingzhou was in a good mood today. His expression was less cold and more gentle. He also changed into a new military uniform, sweeping away the sloppy look of the past period. He was eagerly waiting for his young wife to go out!
Before Lin Anan went out, she hugged Zhuangzhuang and kissed him several times before reluctantly handing him over to Lin's mother.
"Mom, I want to eat fish for lunch."
"No problem. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some fish if they have any."
"Yeah, thanks, mom."
The two men walked side by side on the asphalt road in the military area, their military boots making crisp sounds as they stepped on the ground, and the morning light lengthened their overlapping figures.
When passing by the training ground, the new recruits who were doing morning exercises saluted in unison, and couldn't help but glance in the direction where the two people were walking away.
Along the way, Chu Mingzhou was looking for topics to chat, and his eyes were always on his young wife, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable returning to work after taking a break for so long.
The bungalow of the Intelligence Department was looming in the morning mist.
"I'm going over there."
"Okay, I'll pick you up at noon."
Lin Anan nodded lightly, waved at him, and stepped into the hallway.
"sister in law!"
Lin Anan ran into Bai Xiufang who was holding some information. She was very surprised when she saw her.
But there was a person following Bai Xiufang, who coughed lightly in dissatisfaction when he heard her call Lin Anan like that.
Bai Xiufang was startled and quickly changed her address, "Translator Lin, you are finally back!"
"Yeah, I'm back."
When Lin Anan looked up, her eyes met the man behind her.
Ning Jian?
I saw that his eyes were half hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat, and there was impatience in his eyes.
"Translator Lin, this is Translator Ning. He just came back the day before yesterday..."
Before Bai Xiufang could finish her words, Ning Jian simply walked past the two of them and left!
Lin Anan was still a little confused!
This person is so rude.
She never expected that Ning Jian was dissatisfied with Bai Xiufang's title. There is a huge difference between an interpreter and a translator!
But he was helpless. After all, his position was a military translator. He was always assigned abroad and had no time to obtain the certificate of foreign language proficiency for special tasks. No matter how senior he was, he could not stop Lin Anan from climbing over him.
"this……"
Bai Xiufang quickly gave Lin Anan a look, indicating that she should go back to the office and talk.
Along the way, Lin Anan greeted her colleagues one by one, and everyone was as cordial as usual.
Not long after the two of them arrived at the office, Fang Zheng came in person and gave Lin Anan new work content. He also encouraged her with words for a long time before leaving.
"Sister-in-law, Ning Jian just came back from a mission in Southeast Asia, and the boss asked him to accompany you to the leadership to attend the central meeting.
Ning Jian has a weird temper, you have to be careful, I always feel like he's very difficult to get along with."
"Oh, okay, I see."
The colleagues in the Intelligence Analysis Department are all very nice, and Lin Anan has not yet considered the problem of... colleagues being difficult to get along with.
This is not a easy thing to do!
Lin Anan didn't think too deeply about this matter and focused more on her work. The most important thing was to do her job well.
Sort out the files you want to process and get to work instantly.
The rustling of the sycamore trees outside the window, accompanied by the whirring of the ceiling fan, made the working environment quite comfortable.
Near noon, Ning Jian walked into the office carrying two bamboo baskets filled with aluminum lunch boxes.
He clapped his hands and said to everyone with a smile: "I brought back some canned meat from Southeast Asia. It tastes very good. I specially asked the company cafeteria to process it. Everyone, come and have a taste."
"Translator Ning, are you going to treat us to a meal?"
Someone came over and exclaimed when Ning Jian opened the lunch box!
The lunch box was filled with an oversized portion of braised pork, and its overbearing aroma was something no one had ever smelled before.
Ning Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled, then opened a few more lunch boxes.
They are all meat dishes!
"Translator Ning, this is too expensive."
"What's the big deal? I've been away from the department for years and I just came back. From now on, everyone has to help each other and don't forget about me!"
People are always grateful for what they have done, and besides, the people in the Intelligence Analysis Department are friendly to their colleagues, so naturally they all responded in agreement and started chatting about all sorts of things.
Lin Anan was looking down at the Russian intelligence, her fingertips pausing on the secret code.
"Sister-in-law, Ning the translator is treating us. It would be inappropriate for us not to go. You see..."
"You go ahead, I have to go home to see the kids and eat at home."
"That's fine."
Except for Lin Anan, all other colleagues accepted Ning Jian's invitation.
Coincidentally, the amount he prepared was...just right.
In other words, he didn't prepare Lin Anan's share.
Lin Anan didn't know the reason yet, so she packed up, said hello to everyone and walked out. She had already seen Chu Mingzhou.
Ning Jian suddenly blocked her way, "Translator Lin, you...are you going home for lunch? That's a bit unsociable."
Lin Anan:?
He looked around and pointed at the lunch box on his desk, "Blame me! I didn't prepare enough, so your portion is missing.
But I don't have a big appetite, if you don't mind, you can eat the remaining steamed buns, which are delicious when eaten with meat."
After these words were spoken, not only did Lin Anan's face darken, but the others also stopped talking.
Lin Anan was so angry that she laughed at the implicit meaning of his words!
What does it mean to be a loner?
What does it mean to eat what he left?
"Translator Ning, you must be joking. I don't have the habit of eating other people's leftovers. Also, your hospitality is a good thing, but please don't say anything sarcastic in front of me, otherwise I will think you are excluding me and trying to form a clique."
The smile on Ning Jian's face froze, "Translator Lin really loves to joke, I mean well, inviting you all to dinner is just a small gathering among colleagues.
I'm not very good at talking, did you misunderstand me? I don't mean to exclude you, I'm a straightforward person, I don't have that many tricks. "
Lin Anan glanced at him, put on a cold face, and walked straight past him, just like he did in the morning.
She has become tougher now. Whenever she meets someone who makes her unhappy, she no longer needs to flatter or pretend to obey.
A person's reputation is earned through ability, not by pleasing others.
Although it was unclear what Ning Jian meant, Lin Anan had already put him on the list of people who were 'not compatible'.
Apart from work, it is best to have zero contact and zero communication. If he dares to hang around in front of you and make trouble, you should fight back or go directly to the leader to reason with him.
"This... I didn't do anything, right? Why is Translator Lin so angry? I heard people say she's fine, is it because she just gave birth?
It's still my fault. I haven't been back for too long, and I got the number of people in our department wrong. I'm afraid I've offended Translator Lin."
Ning Jian's self-blaming words could be heard from behind, making Lin Anan's heart skip a beat.
