After a long period of intense inner struggle and deliberation, Mo Yuan finally made up his mind that he had to seize the opportunity and strike while the iron was hot to quickly express his true thoughts and urgent needs without reservation.
After all, the current employment situation of my parents-in-law is like a heavy mountain, pressing firmly on the hearts of the family members, making it hard to breathe.
Although the family has been filled with laughter and joy lately, with everyone trying their best to accompany Mo Yuan and Lin Xue and create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the perceptive Mo Yuan can still keenly sense the deep-seated loneliness and helplessness hidden beneath Lin Zhennan's seemingly calm exterior.
For Lin Zhennan, who has dedicated his life to teaching and nurturing students and working diligently on the front lines of education, the fact that he has finally returned to the city but is unable to return to the familiar and beloved job is undoubtedly an extremely painful form of mental torment.
Moreover, the more pressing issue is that losing a job means losing a stable source of income. If Mo Yuan hadn't extended a helping hand in time and provided some assistance, the family would probably have already fallen into dire straits, struggling to make ends meet.
Furthermore, Mo Yuan carefully considered his situation. Although he would be staying in Shanghai for some time, there were no truly urgent matters requiring his attention. The possibility of getting help from a powerful figure like Hao Fengshan was extremely slim. Therefore, it was highly likely that he would have little chance of having any substantial interaction with Hao Fengshan before leaving Shanghai.
As his thoughts gradually became clearer, Mo Yuan no longer hesitated and resolutely made his final decision—to do everything in his power to help Lin Zhennan and his wife solve their work-related problems.
Thinking this, Mo Yuan decided to break the silence, but worried that being too direct would cause unnecessary trouble. So he paused to consider his words, then slowly began, "Well, to be honest, there is indeed something. It's like this: I'm new to Shanghai and not very familiar with the local policies. So, I wanted to ask you about the resettlement of intellectuals returning to the city. Specifically, my parents-in-law are among those intellectuals who returned..."
Then, Mo Yuan began to recount the whole situation in detail. However, he cleverly only told part of it, deliberately omitting the fact that someone had intentionally sabotaged things, merely expressing his curiosity and doubt. He couldn't understand why his parents-in-law had been unemployed since returning to the city, while other colleagues with similar circumstances had already returned to work.
Hao Fengshan was incredibly intelligent. As soon as he heard Mo Yuan's account, he immediately realized there must be something more to it. He frowned slightly, turned his gaze to Li Wenjie, who had remained silent, and asked urgently, "Secretary Li, are there similar cases in our city?" Li Wenjie, whose name had been called, instantly perked up, his expression becoming serious and focused.
Immediately afterward, Li Wenjie turned his gaze to Mo Yuan, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry and doubt, and slowly asked, "Comrade Mo Yuan, could you please tell me more about the specific workplaces of your parents?" After a slight hesitation, Mo Yuan gave the name of a university.
Upon hearing this name, Li Wenjie's expression changed slightly. He quickly turned to Hao Fengshan beside him and reported in a serious and anxious tone: "Sir, given the current situation, there are indeed some problems that cannot be ignored. If it were just ordinary students, the backlog in resettlement work might be somewhat understandable. After all, with so many people returning at once, the relevant departments are bound to be overwhelmed."
However, the situation of Comrade Mo Yuan's parents-in-law was completely different. They were originally university teachers, and since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the demand for professionals in these positions has been extremely urgent; there are huge shortages everywhere here. Logically speaking, how could someone with their professional knowledge and teaching experience not have received a job offer? There must be some misunderstanding or error involved!
However, in stark contrast to Li Wenjie's relatively tactful attitude, Hao Fengshan made no attempt to hide his anger after hearing this.
He slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang, stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "Hmph! What misunderstanding could there be? It's just that some guys here are up to no good, playing dirty tricks and shady dealings! At a time like this, how dare anyone resort to such underhanded tactics? It's utterly lawless!"
Seeing Hao Fengshan so furious, Li Wenjie quickly stepped forward, trying to calm him down, and said, "Boss, please calm down and don't get so angry. How about this, leave this matter to me. I will definitely get to the bottom of this and give Comrade Mo Yuan a satisfactory explanation."
As he spoke, Li Wenjie's expression became very determined, as if he was ready to meet the challenge.
Actually, it was also to reassure Hao Fengshan and Mo Yuan!
Hearing Li Wenjie's assurance, Hao Fengshan's anger subsided. His expression softened, and he turned to Mo Yuan, slowly saying, "Alright then, Mo Yuan, go meet with Xiao Li later and have him assist you with the relevant matters. He's quite capable!" Hearing this, Mo Yuan was thrilled, his face instantly filled with gratitude. He nodded hurriedly, "Okay, thank you so much!" Although Hao Fengshan spoke casually, Mo Yuan knew very well that the matter was practically a done deal.
Mo Yuan quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Hao Fengshan again to express his heartfelt gratitude. Then, he tactfully indicated that he wanted to take his leave: "Alright, it's getting late, I won't disturb your precious time any longer, I'll go back now." Seeing this, Hao Fengshan immediately gave Li Wenjie a wink.
Li Wenjie understood immediately and quickly smiled at Mo Yuan, saying, "Comrade Mo Yuan, please, let me see you out." With that, he and Mo Yuan walked towards the door together.
Along the way, Li Wenjie chatted warmly with Mo Yuan and took the opportunity to ask for his contact information and address. When they reached the gate, Li Wenjie stopped and instructed the two guards on duty, "This is a distinguished guest of our leader. Next time he comes, there's no need to announce him; just bring him in directly!"
Upon hearing this, the two guards exchanged surprised glances, wondering what kind of special identity Mo Yuan, this seemingly ordinary young man, possessed that allowed him to receive such high-level treatment. Not only was he personally escorted by Li Wenjie, but he was also specifically instructed to enter directly without prior notice.
