Chapter 40: New Job
Lu Mingde took a sip of the teacup's rim and did not answer Shen Qingran immediately.
The voice was steady as he asked, "Does Ting Xiao know what you mean?"
Shen Qingran shook her head. "He doesn't know I'm here. But that doesn't affect my decision."
Lu Mingde put down the cup in his hand, and there were bloodshot eyes.
Lu Jiajia is his daughter, his only daughter, how could he not care about her?
However, the justice and persistence in his bones prevented him from crossing his bottom line.
With Shen Qingran's arrival, he knew that the situation had taken a turn for the better, but the guilt in his heart also deepened.
His spine, which had never been bent in his life, finally lost its integrity at this moment.
Lu Mingde stood up and bowed to Shen Qingran, "Xiao Shen, thank you."
Shen Qingran was stunned for two seconds and immediately stood up.
Such a big gift made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Lu Mingde comforted her, "Xiao Shen, this is as it should be, you don't have to be uneasy."
Shen Qingran bit the soft flesh inside her lip, feeling envious but not soft-hearted.
"Teacher Lu, the request I wrote in the letter of understanding is to send Lu Jiajia abroad and not allow her to return to China within five years."
This was her only requirement for letting Lu Jiajia go.
She is not a saint. She will not let go of someone who hurt her.
For Huo Tingxiao's sake, she was willing to give her a chance, but it would be very uncomfortable to continue to let such a person jump around in front of her.
The best way is to send the person far away so that she can't reach him.
Traveling abroad these days is not like in the future, when you can contact your loved ones anytime and anywhere via video calls.
Sending her abroad for five years was a punishment for Lu Jiajia.
Lu Mingde clasped his hands at his sides for a moment, "Xiao Shen, I agree to your request."
Seeing Teacher Lu agree so readily, Shen Qingran was obviously a little stunned.
Lu Mingde paused and said, "In fact, I wanted to let her go at first, but her mother stopped me. Now this situation is the best solution."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
After the deal was done, Shen Qingran stood up and said, "Professor Lu, let's put it this way."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Mingde smiled and said, "Xiao Shen, in fact, if possible, you should try to get to know Ting Xiao better. He is actually a very soft-hearted person."
"I know your marriage had some ups and downs in the beginning, but it takes ten years to be able to ride the same boat together, and a hundred years to be able to sleep on the same pillow. I can see that the child still cares about you."
Shen Qingran's delicate eyebrows were smiling, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, "Professor Lu, thank you. I think Captain Huo will meet someone more suitable in the future. As for me, I probably won't stay here for too long."
When Huo Tingxiao approached the office door, he heard her soft voice calmly talking about his and her future.
These light words felt like a huge rock pressing on his chest.
A moment later, I heard her saying goodbye to Professor Lu.
"Professor Lu, I'll be leaving first."
When Shen Qingran opened the door, she saw Huo Tingxiao looking at her with a complicated look in his cold and gloomy eyes.
She was a little surprised; she didn't expect him to be outside.
Then he nodded and greeted him.
"Captain Huo, you go find Professor Lu. I'll go back first."
As she said this, she moved away from him.
Clean and decisive, without any hesitation.
Huo Tingxiao looked at her back, his ink-black eyes tinged with darkness.
Then he returned to his calm state, "Teacher."
Lu Mingde looked at him and sighed, "Ting Xiao, Xiao Shen is a good person. Did those rumors hurt her? You should comfort her more. Don't miss a good comrade!"
Huo Tingxiao pursed his lips and said, "Teacher, I understand."
"Okay, I know what you want to talk to me about. Xiao Shen has already reached an agreement with me. Go back. Don't interfere too much in this matter, so as not to affect your family's return to the city."

Shen Qingran left the Military University and took a walk outside.
As soon as I got home, Mr. Qin came to the door.
He was holding a bunch of food in his hands. "Girl, come here, eat some more. Look at your little face. You've become so skinny."
Shen Qingran was a little flustered by his sudden flattery.
If she didn't know him, she would think the old man was trying to poison her.
Qin Xiangbei poked his head out from the fence and teased his father unhappily, "Comrade Qingran, just accept it. He has been blaming himself for several days, sighing and complaining, saying that he has implicated you."
Shen Qingran laughed when she heard it, "Grandpa Qin, my ears are the only ones who suffered in this matter. You really took your life and gambled with the King of Hell. If you do this again next time, you can't blame your ancestors for not working hard in the underworld."
Qin Xiangbei chuckled.
"Did you hear that? Let's see if you'll be craving for wine again next time."
Qin Dahai suddenly took off his shoes and flew over.
"You're so long-winded. No wonder you can't find a wife!"
Then he turned around and looked at Shen Qingran, "Girl, you have taken good care of my body. In the hospital, those people made me take more medicine than food. Please take a look at me again. I think the effect is good."
Shen Qingran touched his nose.
"Then you better be obedient this time, otherwise, I might be beaten up and taught a lesson next time!"
Qin Dahai responded happily.
Shen Qingran sat down and took Qin Dahai's pulse carefully. This time his health was indeed much worse than before. In addition to the medicated food, he also had to take some medicine to replenish his foundation.
Qin Dahai enjoyed Shen Qingran's acupuncture and his toes stretched so comfortably.
"Girl, this thing really works. My whole body is warm now. How about giving me acupuncture once a day?"
Shen Qingran snickered, "Just think of it as a massage. Come here every day."
"You said that with your skills, it would be a pity if you didn't go to the hospital. I just happen to have something to tell you."
"It's just that I have a nephew who happens to be working at the People's Hospital in the city. He just came back from abroad. I have secured an opportunity for you. He needs an assistant. Are you interested?"
Shen Qingran was a little stunned and a little moved when she listened to Qin Dahai.
Grandpa Qin is always taking care of her like this, he is closer to her than her own grandfather.
"Grandpa Qin......."
Qin Dahai shook his hand, "Alright, you are so touched. Last time, I was the one who got you into trouble."
"But let me be frank. I can't make the decision on the job at the People's Hospital. My nephew mentioned several competitors. I can't say for sure whether it will be successful or not."
Shen Qingran originally wanted to kindly refuse, but after hearing what Qin Dahai said, she accepted it instead.
What she is least afraid of is real ability.
"When is that?"
Qin Dahai thought for a moment and said, "I remember he said next Monday, so you can go directly then. I've asked Xiangbei to sign you up!"
Shen Qingran's soft and sweet smile was full of happiness.
Both eyes were curved into little moons.
"Grandpa Qin, I'll make you a big meal tonight."
"Woof woof woof!" The originally quiet black cloud directly jumped over the fence and rubbed Shen Qingran's calf.
Shen Qingran happily hugged Heiyun's head and rubbed it twice.
I thought I would be out of work forever after losing my job in the data room, but I never knew there is always a way out.
If I really get the job, I can move out quickly.
