After everyone had left, Deputy Director Fang took out a flat tin box from his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Fang Ping, what's wrong with you? Why are you smoking tobacco again?"
Although Director Du doesn't smoke, he immediately smelled it and disgustedly pushed open the window next to him.
Deputy Director Fang clicked his tongue. "I say, Du Zitao, how come you're picking up more and more bad habits these days? All these years I've been down here, I've relied entirely on this stuff to get by. I can go without food, but I can't go without cigarettes."
Upon hearing this, Du Zitao fell silent.
"Are you sure you're staying?"
Du Zitao nodded. "I want to do something practical."
Fang Ping understood what he meant. "You're lucky. Zeng Jin is a real talent. I don't know how she came up with this whole thing. It's all interconnected, quite ingenious."
Du Zitao nodded smugly, his face beaming with an uncontrollable smile.
"Look at your pathetic self! You'd better tone it down."
Fang Ping was already annoyed that he hadn't managed to get rid of the person. Unable to stand his behavior, he grabbed a rag from the table and threw it at him.
Du Zitao was sitting at the desk opposite him, and without flinching, he caught it.
Fang Ping exhaled smoke from his mouth. "That guy surnamed Chen will be transferred in the next few days. They've already found him a place. There's a small factory there, and the factory manager has been reassigned. That guy surnamed Feng, the main executor, will probably be fired immediately. As for Yang Lu..."
“Her uncle really…” Du Zitao folded the rag flat, only saying half of his sentence.
"The transfer order will be issued from above, probably in the next few days."
Enveloped in swirling smoke, Fang Ping's expression was no longer visible.
Du Zitao didn't ask again who the transfer order was for, whether it was Yang Lu's uncle or Yang Lu herself.
The two stopped talking and changed the subject to the factory's future plans.
Because Xu Keke has been suspended from her duties, especially since it was just said that an official announcement will be made in a few days that Liu Wen will take over her work.
So, Xu Keke, who had no work to do, didn't stay at the factory for long and took Fu Bao back to the Song family.
Lin Juan had already packed up the things Fu Bao needed and placed them on the table outside.
Glancing at her tightly closed door, Xu Keke knew she was hiding inside. Xu Keke hadn't originally planned to settle scores with her.
However, the fact that they know to avoid me suggests that they've learned from someone's guidance and become smarter.
In Xu Keke's view, the original owner was not a child, and the original owner also had to bear some responsibility for the cause and effect of many things. Therefore, the original owner did not ask her to avenge her, and as long as the other party did not provoke her, Xu Keke would not take action.
But Lin Juan's repeated provocations made it impossible for her to let her off easily. Xu Keke would never do something like abusing the elderly or bullying the weak.
But Xu Keke believed she could get past the thought of Lin Juan and Song Lin tormenting each other.
With the gentle and considerate Lin Meijia by his side, Song Lin probably wouldn't want anyone to bother him right now.
Especially for Song Lin now, his belated rebellious phase has brought him to the brink of explosion. He wants to break free from his mother's control and prove that he is an independent man.
He encountered Lin Juan, who was known for her strong controlling nature. And without the understanding and support of Uncle Zhao, who was always there to comfort him. Given Lin Juan's love for Song Lin...
This mother and son will never again experience the warmth and harmony of motherhood and filial piety. Xu Keke believes that Lin Juan will miss her current life.
As people get older, no one wants to leave home, leave their familiar environment, leave the people they care about, go to an unfamiliar place, and face relatives who have suddenly changed.
Xu Keke packed the things into her bag, picked up Fu Bao, and went to pick up Zhao Di from school.
Then, taking the two children, they took a bus to the Zeng family's house.
Zeng Geng was walking back and forth in the small courtyard in front of the door, leaning on his cane. The aroma of chicken soup simmering in the kitchen wafted through the cracks in the doorway.
The rich aroma made Zhao Di swallow hard.
Upon seeing the three of them arrive, Zeng Geng walked extremely fast. His cane made a clattering sound on the ground.
Xu Keke entered the courtyard and put Fu Bao on the ground. Zhao Di naturally went over and took Fu Bao's hand, calling out "Grandpa" and walking towards Zeng Geng with a smile.
Hearing the noise, Li Wenlian hurriedly came out of the house with a spoon in her hand. Seeing the mother and her two children, she was overjoyed.
"You've come at the perfect time. I stewed chicken today. Quickly take the kids to wash their hands, and I'll go get you some chicken soup."
Just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something and said to Xu Keke, "After you finish drinking the chicken soup, go check next door. Qiangzi has tidied up that room for you. Go take a look."
Xu Keke had already thought of this. Once they were almost done tidying up, and then it was delayed until the weekend, given Zeng Qiang's diligence, he would definitely have already cleaned up the other room for her.
Coincidentally, Xu Keke visited the Zeng family a few times before and after their move. She noticed that no one lived in the house next door.
I talked to the original landlord. The family next door is a young couple, and they have a small one-bedroom apartment.
Their elderly relative is sick, and it's inconvenient for them to travel back and forth between the city and here, so they've vacated this house.
From what Xu Keke heard, it was highly likely that they wouldn't be coming back to live in that house. So Xu Keke discussed it with the landlord and asked him to help her rent the house from the neighbor next door for a year.
Because of the current policy uncertainty, few people are renting apartments. Therefore, rents are very cheap, costing less than 100 yuan a year.
The elderly person in that family was sick, and they happened to need the money. Since the house was just sitting idle, they readily agreed.
Xu Keke originally didn't have that much money. But when she bought the bicycle, she had some left over, plus the twenty yuan she got from Lin Juan. That was just enough to cover the rent.
