Chapter 452 It's alright, she'll think of it.
Director Qi harbored malicious intentions towards his comrades who fought alongside him, removing them from all their posts, expelling them from the Party, and sentencing them to life imprisonment.
The moment the verdict was handed down, Director Qi burst out laughing and revealed another secret: Deputy Regiment Commander Luan was enrolled as a graduate student under Deputy Minister Li, and Deputy Minister Li had given priority to Deputy Regiment Commander Luan. It was Luan who secretly had someone spread rumors that he was trying to incite conflict between men and women, and everyone mistakenly thought that it was Deputy Minister Li who spread the rumors.
Jin Nan wasn't bothered by the original verdict being upheld, but when he heard Director Qi say that he was the one who spread those rumors, he stood up in disbelief, staring at Director Qi in utter despair.
He shouted, "What did you say? What did you say?!"
Does Director Qi know that these remarks were the culprit behind his first meeting with Yao Jianshu, where he tried to intimidate her?
Jin Nan left his seat and rushed to the front row, wanting to pounce on Director Qi and tear him apart. "Do you know you've ruined me? You spread the rumors, you ruined me! I'll tear you apart, I'm going to tear you apart!"
The police rushed over and held him down, saying, "Comrade, calm down."
How can I stay calm?
Jin Nan was almost hysterical. "I had such a bright future ahead of me. I was already an intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and my mentor was Vice Minister Li. I had already climbed to the top of the pyramid. But because of one sentence from him, it's all gone, all gone, ruined, all ruined! It was him! It was that guy surnamed Qi and that guy surnamed Liu. That adulterous couple colluded and ruined me!"
Director Qi sneered.
“Jin Nan, you’ve been by Vice Minister Li’s side for over two years, and you know nothing about his character? Since you’re convinced he’s that kind of person, even without my comments, there are always other excuses you can find to dislike Yao Jianshu! Besides…”
His eyes were full of mockery as he glanced at Vice Minister Li and then at Jin Nan.
"...Once you're actually in the workplace, it's impossible to guard against something like this. I was just letting you get used to the work environment in advance. It's your own fault for lacking self-control and being unable to resist temptation. You were led by the nose, so you deserve to be unlucky!"
"ah!"
Jin Nan charged forward desperately, trying to break free of the police's protection, shouting, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you adulterers!"
He screamed his lungs out, his eyes bloodshot.
He harbored deep hatred for Director Qi and Liu Yue.
He kept saying that his whole life had been ruined by these two people.
After the court session ended, the group was taken away. The police released Jin Nan, who slumped onto the steps. Shi Yulan passed by him and shook her head.
Jin Nan rushed over and knelt down, begging Vice Minister Li, "Teacher, please help me up. I know I was wrong. I've learned my lesson and will never make the same mistake again..."
"Jin Nan, don't do this." Shi Yulan stood in front of Vice Minister Li, trying to pull Jin Nan aside.
Jin Nan raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at Deputy Minister Li pleadingly.
Deputy Minister Li sighed, "Jin Nan, you have some cleverness, but you also like to overinterpret what I say. Director Qi was right about one thing, Jin Nan. I'm giving you a chance, but in the workplace, there will be another Director Qi, another Liu Yue, and possibly another Yao Jianshu. Can you guard against their schemes and the darkness in your own heart?"
Vice Minister Li shook his head.
“You can’t. I lost my position as vice minister because of you this time. I’ve retaliated in the short term, but what about next time? And the time after that? I can’t keep dealing with the mess you’ve created because of your selfishness. Jin Nan, I don’t need a time bomb like this by my side. You understand.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
This time, Jin Nan didn't say anything more. He slumped down on the spot, watching with despair as Vice Minister Li and Shi Yulan walked away.
Mingming, Shi Yulan was in the same year as him, but she has already become Vice Minister Li's assistant, while he can still make mistakes when supervising a freshman...
A few days later, Vice Minister Li was reinstated to his original post.
Yao Jianshu and Deputy Regiment Commander Luan became his only two graduate students.
The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs also announced that he would no longer recruit graduate students and would devote his remaining energy to diplomacy.
Vice Minister Li spoke separately with Yao Jianshu and Deputy Regiment Commander Luan.
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan preferred to return to the military, while Yao Jianshu wanted to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, Deputy Minister Li focused his attention on Yao Jianshu.
He assigned Shi Yulan to personally mentor Yao Jianshu, and Shi Yulan was his assistant, spending almost all her working hours by his side.
Yao Jianshu followed the two, and what she learned was measured in hours, exploding in her mind at multiple speeds. Many things from before were overturned and rebuilt here. She greedily absorbed everything like a sponge, and then frantically absorbed it again when she got home at night.
On average, a few senior students would get together once a week to discuss current affairs, politics, economic conditions, and strategic plans of various countries. They could talk about these topics with ease and naturalness, and their information reserves covered almost the entire globe. They could comment on any country.
These small tea parties reminded her of her days as a teacher, when, during their free time, the teachers in the office would sit together, drink tea, and chat about which school was what, how good the teachers were, what the students were like, and how much their salaries were...
Yao Jianshu pricked up his ears, listening intently, his mind racing as he noted down and processed the information, which was, of course, outdated.
At first, Yao Jianshu didn't understand anything and listened to them talk about the weapons and equipment of a certain country as if it were gibberish. But he gradually learned to keep up with the pace and at least knew the models of the weapons they were talking about and whether their economy could support them to upgrade their equipment. Later on, he was able to occasionally chime in with a few words.
Furthermore, they can also comment on a particular country that they suddenly mention, ranging from politics and economics to people's livelihoods and regional restrictions.
It took her two and a half months to do all this, and she lost a lot of weight.
My weight dropped from over 100 pounds after giving birth to 90 pounds.
As for Boss Su, apart from the trouble caused by Su Xiaosi earlier, he spent most of his time immersed in the ocean of knowledge, absorbing it with great eagerness.
Then, he was taken out for training by his senior brothers and sisters from time to time, until he was able to take on the main responsibilities on his own.
The couple were busy every day, which made Li Banxia feel both gratified and heartbroken.
Aunt Qiu watched as Le Bao'er picked up a fire poker and played around with it haphazardly. The little girl looked quite professional, and she smiled as she advised Li Banxia, "Isn't this great? Both of you are shining in your respective fields, doing what you love. You won't feel tired when you're doing what you love."
Li Banxia nodded.
"I am relieved..."
I am gratified that my eldest son and daughter-in-law have embarked on completely different paths from their previous lives, and are beginning to make a name for themselves in their respective fields.
In her past life, Jian Shu had also mentioned wanting to take the postgraduate entrance exam, but she shut him down with sarcastic remarks.
Li Banxia felt that God gave her a second chance, probably because He couldn't bear to see such outstanding people as her eldest son and daughter-in-law being overwhelmed by family trivialities and dragged down by her.
Then I thought that God is so busy every day, He might not be able to think of these things.
It's alright, she'll think of it.
The eldest son and his wife are good people, and good people should be rewarded.
We can't expect the world to only remember that "good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years," can we?
That would be too disheartening for good people.
