She was like this in H City before, and she's still like this now in J City. To be honest, she doesn't like drinking tea, and like I said before, she doesn't like drinking tea offered by others outside.
"Miss Lin, please have a seat!" Mayor Tang extended his right hand in a gesture of invitation.
Lin Yue sat down as instructed. The tea in front of her was still steaming, indicating that it had been brewed on her way in.
"Hello, Mayor Tang!" Lin Yue greeted him politely.
They are now on equal footing, so she doesn't need to stand and bow to greet them.
"Miss Lin, please try this pre-rain Longjing tea. The tea leaves are becoming increasingly scarce." Mayor Tang said, a fleeting look of heartache in his lowered eyes.
This tea was something he had treasured for a long time and had never been willing to drink. It was the only packet of tea he had left, and the fact that he was willing to use it to entertain Lin Yue showed how much he valued her.
Lin Yue picked up the teacup, took a small sip, her lips were already wet, but she didn't drink it.
Mayor Tang noticed that the amount of tea in her cup hadn't decreased, but he just kept smiling and didn't say anything.
It's a good thing that young people are vigilant, especially in this apocalyptic world, where one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
"Mayor Tang, thank you for your hospitality. This tea is delicious."
Although she didn't drink it, that didn't stop her from saying a few nice words. Saying nice words didn't cost her anything, even though she always thought tea was bitter.
“I heard about what happened in G City from Jiang Ci. Miss Li is truly a woman who is just as capable as any man. Professor Mu has been trapped for a long time, and Jiang Ci and his team have been completely helpless. If it weren’t for Miss Lin and Mr. Cang, they would probably have been stuck for a long time.”
"Mayor Tang, you flatter me. It was just a coincidence. Even without us, Commander Jiang would have been able to rescue Professor Mu and the others sooner or later." It was just a few words of flattery; anyone could say that.
“Miss Lin is too modest. If you have the ability, you have the ability. There is no need to belittle yourself. May I ask what your requirements are? As long as the military can fulfill them, we will certainly not treat you unfairly.”
Mayor Tang said a few more kind words before finally getting to the point.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue stopped beating around the bush and directly stated her request: "Mayor Tang, I have no other requests. What Professor Mu is researching is no longer a secret to me. Professor Mu also promised me that the material from that asteroid could make two or even more. I only hope that I can use the extra one. Of course, if the country has any messages or information that it needs me to take back, I can guarantee that I can complete the information transmission with high quality and quantity."
"Miss Li's information network is truly impressive. I wonder where she heard it from?" Mayor Tang said calmly, but his tone already carried a hint of warning.
This is a state secret, known only to high-ranking personnel at the base. It was also communicated to base commanders in various locations through special channels. Where did Lin Yue hear about it?
Lin Yue smiled, not afraid at all.
“Mayor Tang, there’s no need to be so wary. If I really had bad intentions, wouldn’t it be better to just take Professor Mu away and then try to steal the meteorite?” Lin Yue took out a letter of introduction from her bag and placed it in front of Mayor Tang. “Please take a look at this letter first. My second request is in this letter.”
Mayor Tang picked up the envelope, tore it open, and pulled out the letter. He recognized the handwriting from the very first character.
This girl knows Lao Qin, so they must have a good relationship, or she must have made significant contributions to the H City base. Otherwise, he wouldn't have written her such a letter of introduction. It seems reasonable that she would know such confidential information.
After reading the letter, Mayor Tang's already smiling face broke into a wide grin.
As expected, Lao Qin is the most reliable person. He sent them such a talented individual who is not only highly capable in all aspects but is also a top student in medicine. The medicine he has can snatch people from the jaws of death.
Although she requested to travel back in time in the time machine, at least for the next few years, she could shine in the base. Of course, her wishes would be respected, since they have always put people first.
"Mayor Tang, what do you think? Am I likely to take office?" Lin Yue asked confidently.
All resources at the base are allocated in a coordinated manner; to go to the hospital, one must first obtain the base director's approval.
However, Lin Yue was very confident. She had read the letter of introduction, in which Qin Chao praised her to the skies, saying she was the best person in the world.
Even without boasting, she would still win over these people with her "abilities".
Yes, if using "ability" instead of "ability" can directly lead to fantasy, who would still use the conventional methods to get things done?
Moreover, it has been more than three years since she left the hospital, and in those three years she has never engaged in any medical work, and she only used the spiritual spring water to save people.
She hasn't completely forgotten those basic knowledge, skills, and abilities, but she doesn't remember them very clearly. If she were to use that knowledge to save someone, it would be a testament to her strong abilities if she didn't kill them.
"Of course, the hospital needs someone like Ms. Lin."
"In that case, Mayor Tang, what about the request I made earlier?" Lin Yue asked again.
"Miss Lin, if I may ask, why do you want to go back to the past?" Mayor Tang did not answer the question directly, but asked another question.
"For my parents, they passed away."
"Miss Lin is quite frank. I will report Miss Lin's request to my superiors. Whether it can be granted depends on their decision. I cannot make that decision alone." Mayor Tang did not give a direct answer.
Lin Yue had already guessed this would be the outcome before she arrived, so she wasn't disappointed. What she needed to do was to gain a foothold in the base and get recognition from above. Only in this way could she have a chance.
Gaining Professor Mu's approval is only the first step.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
"I hope I can bring you good news!" Mayor Tang chuckled.
He'd never been asked for good news so bluntly before; this girl was really bold.
After laughing, Mayor Tang wrote a certificate by hand, stamped it, and said, "Ms. Lin, take this and go directly to the hospital to see the director."
Lin Yue took it, examined it, and after confirming there were no problems, stood up and extended her right hand: "Thank you, Mayor Tang!"
Mayor Tang also stood up, reached out to shake hands with Lin Yue, and then quickly let go.
"Welcome, Ms. Lin, to our base family."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Yue took her leave.
After Lin Yue left, Jiang Ci quickly returned to Mayor Tang's office.
"Xiao Jiang, do you think Lin Yue is trustworthy?" Although Qin Chao introduced her, who knows if she was switched on the way?
"It seems there are no problems so far," Jiang Ci replied.
They didn't have much contact, just at the shopping mall in G City and on the way back. Judging from the past few days, both Lin Yue and Cang Yu are very proactive people.
"How do they treat others?" He hadn't forgotten Lin Yue's wariness of him earlier; the cup of tea was still full and untouched.
