Chapter 72 Jealousy
After receiving the call, Chen Yin asked, "The mission is over? It happened pretty quickly."
"What's the end?" Yan Jiuru sighed. "It's too early. This is a rare opportunity, so I'm going to let you know you're safe. Are you and your family all right?"
Chen Yin smiled, turned the phone around, and avoided those curious eyes. "Everything's fine. Zhuangzhuang just cried a few times because he couldn't find you. Dad took him out for a walk and that's all."
Hehe, the next day when he went to the nursery, he forgot about his dad again.
"This brat!"
What kind of person is your own son? Don’t you know what he is like as a father?
Yan Jiuru knew it well but was helpless.
If he wants to move up and give his family a better life, he is destined not to stay at home with his wife and children.
As a human being, you always have to make choices.
"By the way, someone's going to send something home in a few days. Remember to let them know."
"You still found time to go shopping? We don't need anything at home, so take a rest when you have time."
His wife was more concerned about his health. Yan Jiuru was so happy that his heart was bubbling with joy, but he said, "I'm fine, don't worry. You should eat what you want, and just put away some bottles of wine for me. This will be useful."
The two talked on the phone for five minutes and had to hang up.
The military's encrypted telephones are also limited, and individuals cannot take up too many resources to avoid delaying emergency situations.
Regardless of whether there is a real situation or not, the system must provide protection.
***
Chen Yin put down the phone, and a female colleague sitting at the table near the door asked her with a smile: "Who's calling? So sticky?"
"My love, I'm just reporting that I'm safe on my business trip." Chen Yin replied calmly.
The two of them were not close to each other, but he was still listening to the other person's phone call from such a long distance, haha.
"Hey, you're calling long distance? That's not easy."
Chen Lanlan's eyes flickered, and she smiled faintly, "Not every unit can make long-distance calls as easily as we do here."
Chen Yin squinted at the other person. "Oh? I haven't made a long-distance call yet. Can we make calls here? I'll try next time."
Chen Lanlan was choked and couldn't respond for a while.
The team leader was not there, so everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the excitement.
Jiang Weihong came in with a stack of documents, glanced at her as she passed the door, and said to Chen Yin with a smile, "Don't listen to her nonsense, she's just teasing you.
We can't just make long distance calls here, we have to apply to the team leader."
After saying that, she glanced at Chen Lanlan indifferently.
Chen Lanlan immediately sat down, lowered her head and pretended to be busy with work.
Chen Yin snorted lightly and said, "I'm an old comrade after all, and I've never seen a new comrade tease an old comrade."
A clerk who just came here and hasn't been hired yet, squatting at the door, is trying to provoke her?
Who is easy to bully?
It's not that she looks down on others, she just never sat at the door when she first joined the group.
Don’t you have any idea of your own identity?
***
When it was time to deliver milk, Chen Yin said hello to her team leader and went to the nursery.
Wang Chunling also followed him out.
There have been some major personnel changes in the Municipal Party Committee recently. Several old comrades have resumed their work, and some are said to be on their way back.
There were also changes in their external secretariat.
Starting from the beginning of March, three people were transferred in one after another. One was a foreign secretary named Li Bisheng, who was retired from the army; and two clerks, one was Chen Lanlan who sat at the door, and the other was Wang Chunling.
Normally, everyone is busy with their own things and she has basically no interaction with them. If she needs to find information, she has to find it on her own.
Some people are always trying to gain a sense of existence for themselves, which is really annoying!
***
There was a strong wind outside and the dust was flying.
In the spring in Yancheng, you can eat half a pound of sand when you get home.
Both of them wrapped their heads with scarves. Since it was only a few steps away, they gave up riding their bikes and just walked towards the wind with their heads down.
Wang Chunling said in a muffled voice, "Don't pay attention to her. Chen Cuicui is just jealous of you. When I first came here, she tripped me up a lot."
She was the last one to be transferred into the team and had only been there for half a month.
"Chen Cuicui?"
Chen Yin held down the fluttering scarf and turned her head away to avoid getting a stomach full of wind when talking into the wind.
"Haha, you don't know? It's your Chen Lanlan."
Wang Chunling said with some disdain: "Before she joined our group, her name was Chen Cuicui. I thought it was a bit old-fashioned, so I changed it to Lanlan."
"Chen Lan is just Chen Lan, not Lan Lan," Wang Chunling rolled her eyes. "Now everyone who calls her by her name seems to be more intimate."
Chen Yin smiled.
***
The atmosphere in their group was originally quite good, but then two women came in, and with so many women, things started to get weird.
The two clerks sat opposite each other and would quarrel with each other whenever they had nothing to do.
Not to mention Wang Chunling, the child is almost two years old. Apart from sometimes mumbling little things, there is nothing else wrong with her.
Anyway, everyone who can enter this unit has been thoroughly investigated, so there must be nothing serious wrong with them.
Oh, Chen Cuicui, Chen Lanlan, it is said that she broke off her engagement with the gay man not long after joining the group.
Now she is Shui Lingling, a 24-year-old unmarried lesbian.
Don’t even mention whether you look good or not. Just for this job, even if it’s just a small clerk, you can tell others that you are a member of the secretarial team, and your value will at least double.
These are what she heard when Wang Chunling was whispering to Sister Jiang.
There was no mention of a name change at that time.
I guess I only found out about it later.
However, changing your name is nothing, it’s just vanity at most.
***
But this Chen Lanlan has been keeping an eye on her ever since she joined the group, trying to trip her up in both overt and covert ways.
Once or twice, she thought the boy was new and didn't understand, so she took extra care of him.
However, she would be a fool not to notice it the third time.
"I'm just wondering, you said she doesn't want to work properly all day, why is she always staring at me..."
Wang Chunling groaned, "Don't you know? She's really jealous of you."
"Are you jealous of me? What do I have to be jealous of?" Chen Yin shook her head.
Wang Chunling took Chen Yin's arm and they moved forward together against the strong wind.
Even though she was still breastfeeding, she was quite thin and was almost blown down by the strong wind.
"You don't understand. Women always need to find someone to compare themselves with. Otherwise, how can they feel superior?"
In the external secretarial team, Sister Jiang is the senior one, and she is unmatched even if she tries to compete with them;
Wang Chunling joined the group later than Chen Cuicui, so they can be compared. However, Wang Chunling's conditions are almost the same as Chen Cuicui's, except for her particularly beautiful eyes. The two are at the same level, so there is nothing to compare.
So, Chen Yin became the main target.
She is young, beautiful, graduated from a decent high school, and has a good family background without any family holding her back.
Her lover is tall, has long legs and is a handsome man, and he is also an officer...
Oh my God!
Which woman wouldn’t envy such conditions?
***
The most important thing is that the day before yesterday, Chen Yin followed her old leader to participate in a foreign affairs activity.
That day, she was wearing a crisp coat, a beautiful Hangzhou silk scarf around her neck, a tweed coat on the outside, small leather shoes on her feet, and carrying a leather briefcase.
Her hair was styled by the comrade in charge of foreign affairs, and she also put on a light lipstick.
But they heard from Sister Jiang that the clothes, scarf, leather shoes and tweed coat were all Chen Yin's own, only the briefcase and lipstick were borrowed from a comrade from the foreign affairs team.
The most important thing is that she can speak a few words of bird language and can even talk to foreign guests!
When taking photos, I just followed the leaders.
Even though I was standing at the end, I still took photos with Chinese and foreign leaders!!!
Just for this one thing, not to mention Chen Cuicui, even Wang Chunling was a little envious and jealous.
She went home and told her husband about this. Her husband said that it was not easy to get into such a unit, and those who didn't know the ins and outs should not get involved.
What they have belongs to them, which means they are confident.
They just need to be friends.
Chen Yin did not explain much about this. There would be more such things in the future and it was useless to explain.
***
She followed Jiuru's advice and not only took time to study her textbooks, but also tried hard to learn foreign languages by following the few foreign language channels on the radio.
Brother Jiuru said that it is always good to have many skills, so it is better to learn more skills while you are young and learn things quickly.
It won’t hurt to learn it anyway, what if you need it?
Sure enough, isn’t this useful? !
Although she had only studied for two or three months and only knew some simple expressions, she was still much better than those who couldn't speak.
She has decided to study more and practice calligraphy more in the future.
Now I have elderly people at home to help me, someone to take care of the children, work is not very busy, and Brother Jiuru is not around anymore...
Chen Yin shook her head and sighed: We have such a good time now, instead of being jealous of others, we should improve ourselves.
***
On the other side, half of the valley and riverbed in Outlook No. 1 area were surrounded.
Looking around, the troops numbered no less than five hundred men.
Some are responsible for outer perimeter security, some are responsible for setting up tents, some are responsible for setting up field kitchens, and some are responsible for carrying various excavation tools and living facilities.
As soon as Yan Jiuru and others got off the helicopter, they saw that the entire area was bustling with activity.
Lin Shiyi shrank his neck, poked Yan Jiuru a few times, and said, "Look at this big scene, aren't you afraid of what might happen..."
Yan Jiuru sneered, "If I don't have the diamond, I won't take on this porcelain job!"
The implication is that he has confidence in his abilities.
Jeeps and military trucks drove down from the helicopter, and their luggage was also brought over.
Director Wu and Commander Chen took the two of them to greet the military leaders leading the team.
Unexpectedly, the team leader turned out to be the deputy commander of a certain garrison area.
Tsk tsk, Lin Shiyi lowered his head even more.
Yan Jiuru also thought to himself that this gold mine seemed to be quite valued.
However, the people in the security zone are only responsible for watching over the site and do not participate in mining.
***
This is in the mountains. No matter how many days they stay, they all eat and sleep in the wild and set up their own tents.
Commander Chen commanded the soldiers to get busy.
Yan Jiuru looked at the sky and then at his watch. It was 3:45 in the afternoon.
There is still enough time.
He found Director Wu.
"You want to start digging now?"
Yan Jiuru gestured outside and said, "It's such a big event, many people are concerned about it, why not give a definite answer as soon as possible? There is enough time anyway."
The gold mine he discovered was not too deep, but the reserves were not small. He could find the shallowest place and let Lin Shiyi try to dig some samples first, so that everyone could rest assured.
Director Wu was actually anxious to know the result, and since everyone wanted to go together, he didn't hesitate.
Lin Shiyi was going to burrow into the ground later, so he took out a jumpsuit made of unknown material from his luggage and put it on, even putting his shoes on.
Yan Jiuru nodded secretly, this kid is quite good.
Yan Jiuru also put on his newly bought rubber boots and wrapped himself in a thick military coat. He took Lin Shiyi with him, and the two of them carried their equipment and walked several circles between the valley and the riverbed, and then stopped at a place near the inner part of the riverbed.
"Here it is."
Director Wu looked at the area covered with weeds and gravel. "Do we start from here?"
“This is the shallowest place, suitable for sampling.”
***
Director Wu waved to the guard, and the guard immediately ran to report to Commander Chen.
Soon, a platoon of soldiers from the garrison area rushed over with tools, drove stakes in a circle within 20 meters around the sampling point, and surrounded it with canvas.
Lin Shiyi took a shovel and handed it to Yan Jiuru, and took one for himself, "Help me, shovel first."
Seeing this, the guards also helped. Several of them worked hard to dig up the weeds, soil, and rocks on top.
After about ten minutes, a pit about two square meters in size and more than half a meter deep was dug.
Lin Shiyi jumped down and lay in the pit, not knowing whether he was smelling or listening. After a while, he stood up and said, "Okay, I have to do this several times. Remember to prepare some food and drink for me."
