Volume 1 Chapter 89 Refusing to Buy and Sell
Sheng Wanyan knew that he came to the hospital because of a recurrence of an old injury he had sustained during the war when he was young.
When pouring water for him, she would secretly put one or two drops of spiritual spring water in it. He is a national hero, and she admires him in her heart!
She is also proud that her spiritual spring water can contribute to the national heroes.
Sheng Wanyan was angered by the old lady's words and shouted directly: "Public Security! Someone here is trying to blackmail me, I want to report to the police!"
The police officer who got a new job out of nowhere: "..."
Are you in such a hurry to give him performance? ? ?
Is it that good?
I have a chance to get promoted next year, and I have to thank the old lady for her contribution!
When the police heard this, they immediately went over to take over the task and confirmed whether Sheng Wanyan really wanted to report it to the police.
Sheng Wanyan nodded very seriously. Now that she was being blackmailed, was she going to let herself be cheated?
"I'm quite sure. This old lady is trying to extort money from me by relying on her age. You've seen it, police officer. I won't accept a private settlement."
The police nodded when they heard this. Now two people reported the case to the same person, so the old lady couldn't settle the matter privately.
The police officer held the old lady’s arm and left in front of everyone.
"Ahhhhhhhh! Let me go!!!"
"I won't blackmail anyone anymore. I won't blackmail anyone anymore..."
"I was wrong!!! I'll go home and get the money immediately!!!"
"You have no conscience..."
No matter how the old lady shouted, the police refused to release her and took her directly back to the police station.
As for what happened next, Sheng Wanyan didn't bother to care. After helping Grandpa Sheng pack up his things, she chatted with Ning Weiguo for a few words, and left after learning that he would be able to be discharged from the hospital in two days.
Ning Weiguo watched their backs as they left. There are not many young people like this who are not nosy and yet know how to use methods to protect themselves.
Moreover, he had seen how Sheng Wanyan had taken good care of Grandpa Sheng over the past few days.
He was not impatient at all, never looked down on the old man, and even thought of ways to make Grandpa Sheng happy.
It's really rare to find a young girl who is so filial and doesn't look down on the elderly.
That kid Gu Tingxiao is really lucky.

After Grandpa Sheng returned home, the first thing he wanted to do was find some wine to drink, but Grandma Sheng was very good at hiding things and no one could find her.
Even if Grandpa Sheng searched the entire house, he didn't see a single wine bottle. He couldn't smell anything even if he sniffed.
Grandma Sheng had known that he would be like this, so the whole family just watched him wandering around the house.
"Dad, what are you wandering about for?"
Mr. Sheng really didn't understand. Didn't he feel dizzy from swaying?
But I feel dizzy just looking at it...
"What do you care about me?"
Grandpa Sheng sniffed in the kitchen, but without any results, he had to go back to his room to rest.
Grandma Sheng looked up, then ignored him while keeping her foot on the sewing machine.
You want to drink right after being discharged from the hospital? Dream on.
Sheng Wanyan returned to work the next day and was treated warmly by Wu Jiaxiu.
After not seeing Sheng Wanyan for a week, she didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Niu Fangli was quite happy. Without Sheng Wanyan, no one would interfere with her position.
Just this week, Director Li took her to a meeting, and she became a popular figure around Director Li again.
Niu Fangli looked very smug. Sheng Wanyan could only smile and say nothing when she heard her showing off to her in a roundabout way.
She's not feeling uncomfortable...
On the contrary, she was quite happy. Going to the city for meetings was a long and tiring journey, and the secretariat was very introverted. She didn't want to go again.
Wouldn’t it be nice to just mess around in the office for a day?
When Director Li saw her come back, he immediately smiled. When Sheng Wanyan was not around, he didn't know who to turn to when he needed help.
I can only find Niu Fangli again, but there is no harm without comparison. Comrade Niu Fangli is stubborn and can't think flexibly.
Unlike Comrade Sheng Wanyan, all the information was prepared for him, and any points that required special attention were marked out for him.
He doesn't even need me to say anything, but he can guess what I'm thinking. This kind of good helper is exactly what he wants!
"Comrade Sheng Wanyan, come with me to the city for a meeting tomorrow."
When Niu Fangli heard this, her smiling face instantly fell. She had clearly done more this week.
Why did Director Li ask Sheng Wanyan to go to the city with him again! ! !
"Yes, Director."
The people in the office subconsciously looked at Niu Fangli, and they could understand her gloomy face. After all, Comrade Niu Fangli had been constantly trying to make her presence felt in front of Director Li over the past week.
Originally, they thought that Niu Fangli would be a favorite of Director Li in the future. However, as soon as Comrade Sheng Wanyan came back, Niu Fangli had nothing to do with the matter at all.
Sheng Wanyan could feel the resentment behind her without even looking, but she would not give in.
This was the support she had worked so hard to get, so she had to maintain the relationship well.
Sheng Wanyan followed Director Li to the meeting. Those who came today were from the Propaganda Department. This meeting could be said to be just a routine matter, with nothing special about it.
However, Sheng Wanyan still took notes seriously. Although it was useless, one had to maintain a correct attitude.
When Director Li saw her notes, he said he enjoyed reading them. He understood the concise notes at a glance and saw the key points as well.
Unlike Niu Fangli's, which was written in a mess and there was no time to write down some of the key points.
Anyway, I still can't remember it clearly, so I might as well rely on myself.
When Sheng Wanyan heard his praise, she smiled modestly and said nothing. She really didn't expect that Director Li liked to take her to meetings so much. She felt like her butt was about to burst.
The bumpy road made her butt hurt.

Sheng Wanyan finished translating one of her books and sent it out immediately the next day.
She calculated that she had translated a total of 50,000 words for this book, and the price of each word was 1.5 cents. Although it took her almost two months to translate this book, she earned a lot more money.
After calculating, she realized she could earn 750 yuan from this book. Sheng Wanyan still had one book that hadn't been translated yet, so she would send it out when new books arrived.
Sheng Wanyan's days began to become lonely, and every day she went to work or went home.
During this period, Wu Jiaxiu asked me to help buy meat, but I refused.
She was afraid that Wu Jiaxiu would become suspicious if she could take out supplies every time.
So sometimes I have to refuse so that Wu Jiaxiu won’t think too much about it.
In order to protect herself, she didn't want Wu Jiaxiu to think that she could help her get anything. If Wu Jiaxiu developed a dependent mentality, things would not be so simple in the future.
When Wu Jiaxiu heard that it was difficult for her to buy meat now, she could only sigh regretfully. However, when she thought about it, she realized that it was already the end of the year and every household was stockpiling food, so it was normal that she couldn't buy any.
"It's okay, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if I can grab some."
After saying this, Wu Jiaxiu hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative. If she didn't go earlier, all the good meat would be gone.
