Chapter 28: Connections



In the next few days, Gu Xingfan would bring her fancy breakfast every day: steamed buns and white porridge today, and fried dough sticks and soy milk tomorrow. After a week, Lin Yanbai felt that her waistline had grown several times bigger.

Of course, under Gu Xingfan’s breakfast offensive, Lin Yanbai felt that everyone in the factory, from the factory director to the workshops, should know that they were a couple!

Later, Liu Mei came again, but seeing Lin Yanbai's angry look, she was so angry that her heart ached. She said: I will never care about you again, and left without looking back.

However, Lin Yanbai doesn't care about Liu Mei and Lin Qingfeng's little emotions. She is now focused on her career.

After completing the previous main quest, Xiao Qi released a new one these past two days: Become a glorious member of the Propaganda Department! Doesn't victory seem within reach?

That's right, Lin Yanbai has been on secondment to the Propaganda Department for more than a month. Seeing that the busy work of the Propaganda Department is coming to an end, it is conservatively estimated that at least one of them will have to stay. Although she is confident, she still feels a little nervous.

Obviously, her nervousness had affected Gu Xingfan. Seeing how uneasy she had been these past few days, Gu Xingfan comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Weren't you quite confident the other day? Believe in yourself!"

Lin Yanbai rolled her eyes. "I do believe in myself. If it comes to ability, who else but me?" She sighed and continued, "I'm just afraid that some people rely on connections. Wouldn't that make me lose out? I don't want to go back to the spinning department. Picking out silk every day would ruin my eyes, not to mention my hands!"

This is what she was worried about after all this time! "Don't worry, we can do it with our abilities, and even more so with our connections!"

Lin Yanbai looked up at the calm Gu Xingfan in front of her, and the tension that had been lingering in her heart for the past two days seemed to dissipate. Yes! In terms of connections, the person next to her is also a very powerful thigh. The position in the Propaganda Department is hers based on ability, and it is also her, Lin Yanbai, who relies on connections.

In the afternoon, Director Zhang from the department called all the seconded students into the office. Their efforts during this period were finally going to bear fruit!

Lin Yanbai sensitively noticed that Director Zhang glanced at her, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Director Zhang announced slowly and methodically, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Thank you very much for your contribution to the Propaganda Department. The department is almost done with work for now. Everyone should pack up your things and you won't have to come tomorrow!"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Director Zhang seemed to have just remembered: "Oh, Zeng Yue, please stay a moment!"

Hearing this, Zeng Yue looked at Lin Yanbai with a smug look on his face, and Lin Yanbai's heart skipped a beat.

It's over. My own bad words really came true. It's really a Cheng Yaojin who showed up unexpectedly. No! It's really bad luck that a relative shows up unexpectedly. Lin Yanbai looked unhappy.

The others watched the two of them engage in this scheme, and they understood something. After they left the office, Xu Jiaqi carefully comforted him, "Yan Bai, don't be discouraged. In terms of ability, how can Zeng Yue compare to you?"

As he spoke, Xu Jiaqi looked around cautiously, then approached Lin Yanbai and whispered, "Zeng Yue is relying on his boyfriend. His boyfriend is the son of Deputy Director Jia. Of course, the director has to give the deputy director a favor!"

Lin Yanbai finally understood that she was indeed a jinx. Dejected, she returned to her seat, feeling the sympathetic gazes of her colleagues. It was clear they already knew what had happened.

Originally everyone thought that the one who stayed would be Lin Yanbai, but Zeng Yue showed up unexpectedly and had such strong connections that everyone felt sorry for Lin Yanbai.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Yanbai was not the kind of person who would sit and wait for death. After Zeng Yue came out of the director's office with a smile on her face, Lin Yanbai stood up as if nothing had happened and walked straight in, leaving everyone in the room dumbfounded.

"She, she, she...what do you think she did in the director's office?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm asking about staying. But I think since Comrade Zeng has already been chosen, it means..." He nodded towards Zeng Yue and continued, "Anyway, it's still hanging in the balance!"

"That's hard to say. Don't forget who Yan Bai's partner is. That guy is not an easy person to deal with!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, yes, Zeng Yue had connections, and Gu Xingfan was not bad either. How could he watch his partner being bullied? In this case, it was still uncertain who would win!

Not to mention what the people outside were thinking, inside the office, seeing Lin Yanbai coming, he put down the pen in his hand, leaned back in his chair, as if he had expected it, and waited for Lin Yanbai to speak.

This is clearly a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Lin Yanbai had already guessed that her trip would definitely not change the predetermined outcome, so she didn't ask. Wouldn't that just make herself uncomfortable?

"Director, I'm going back tomorrow, so I came in specially to thank you. Thank you for making me feel the warmth of home in the Propaganda Department. I have learned a lot during my time here, and I have grown a lot under your leadership. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today!" Lin Yanbai recited with emotion!

Director Zhang: ...That's it? That's not necessary!

"Ah...Ahaha!" Director Zhang laughed awkwardly, swallowing the refusal that was about to come out of his mouth. Why didn't this young comrade play by the rules? Wouldn't that mean that the long refusal and the super long consolation paragraph he had prepared would be useless?

He was a little unable to respond to Lin Yanbai's move: "No... you're welcome, it's what I should do..." Oh my God, what is he saying!

Lin Yanbai laughed inwardly. Serves you right! Just letting you watch the fun won't go your way! "Then Director, you're busy. I'll be leaving first. I still have to pack up!" With that, she turned and left without mercy.

The neat turn made Director Zhang inexplicably feel like he had been cheated... Just as Lin Yanbai was about to step out of the office, Director Zhang finally couldn't help it.

"Ahem, Yan Bai! Actually, I am willing to keep you. After all, I have seen your efforts. But I can't refuse Zeng Yue... But the factory originally said that there were two indicators, I don't know why it suddenly became one, so..." Director Zhang stopped talking.

"Thank you, Director Zhang!" Lin Yanbai turned around and thanked him. She knew that Director Zhang was kind enough to remind her of this. It seemed that someone was behind this!

Thinking of Zeng Yue's pride just now, Lin Yanbai felt that perhaps she could start from here. After all, she was recognized as a popular person in the factory and had hardly any conflicts with anyone. After thinking about it, it seemed that it was only Zeng Yue. She had disliked her for a long time.
