Faced with Director Zhou of the Education Bureau's beaming, slightly obsequious greeting, the man being addressed remained remarkably indifferent, seemingly unconcerned by such attentiveness. He didn't even turn his head, but instead fixed his gaze firmly on one person, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Brother Mo, I've arrived. You've probably guessed why I'm here. That's right, I'm here to resolve your in-laws' employment issues!"
The speaker was none other than Li Wenjie. In fact, Mo Yuan had already noticed his arrival just moments before. Their eyes met briefly in the air, but they understood each other perfectly, neither uttering a word. Although Mo Yuan already had a guess that it was most likely related to his in-laws' work, he truly hadn't expected Li Wenjie to act so decisively, not only moving quickly but also personally bringing people to handle the matter.
What surprised Mo Yuan even more was that, through the conversations of the other people around him, he had already learned the identities of the other two people—Director Zhou of the Education Bureau and the current principal of his father-in-law's school.
In this way, the matter can be basically confirmed without a doubt.
As expected, when Li Wenjie spoke and stated his purpose, Mo Yuan's last trace of doubt vanished instantly.
So he hurried forward, taking three steps at a time, and greeted the other person with an extremely friendly smile and a gentle voice: "Secretary Li, hello!"
He then warmly introduced his parents-in-law to Li Wenjie, "This is my father-in-law, Lin Zhennan; and this is my mother-in-law, Wang Wanru. They're the main characters in the matter I mentioned to you last time! I really didn't expect you to come and handle this personally; thank you so much!"
Although his words were full of politeness, his attitude remained neither humble nor arrogant, showing neither excessive flattery nor the slightest cowardice.
Li Wenjie, however, acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, smiling and nodding. He even took a step forward and warmly shook Lin Zhennan's hand to express his friendliness.
This action left Director Zhou, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded and secretly astonished.
You must know that he was well aware of Li Wenjie's extraordinary status and position. Normally, it would be incredibly difficult for many people to even meet him, yet he was being so polite and courteous to the person in front of him.
Moreover, Director Zhou quickly realized the truth—it was all because of that young man named Mo Yuan!
After all, Lin Zhennan's matter had actually occurred a long time ago, and if it weren't for Mo Yuan, it probably wouldn't have been delayed until now. Thinking of this, Director Zhou immediately stepped forward without hesitation, his face beaming, and introduced himself to Mo Yuan and Lin Zhennan with great enthusiasm: "Hello, hello! I am the director of the Shanghai Municipal Education Bureau. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
He continued, "Regarding your work, after a thorough investigation and verification, we now have a complete understanding of the situation. On behalf of our entire department, I would like to offer you our sincerest apologies. This was indeed a serious oversight caused by poor internal coordination, for which we are deeply remorseful and have launched a thorough review to prevent similar errors from recurring. To express our sincerity and to compensate you for the inconvenience caused, we have decided to immediately reinstate you to your positions!"
At this moment, the arrogant principal standing to the side was already sweating profusely and looking nervous. He quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's all our fault! We really didn't consider things carefully and neglected our duties. Please forgive us. Starting tomorrow, you will be able to officially resume your posts. Moreover, given your consistently outstanding work performance and professional abilities, we believe your positions should be promoted accordingly!"
This sudden and drastic change caught everyone off guard. Not only were Lin Zhennan and his wife stunned and unable to react for a moment, but they were also completely taken aback.
Even Wang Wanfang and Cui Hao, standing to the side, were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with doubt. What on earth was going on? How could there have been such a sudden 180-degree turn?
Seeing this, Cui Hao quickly winked at Wang Wanfang, signaling her to speak. Wang Wanfang then seemed to snap out of her daze and shouted, "Something's not right, Director Zhou! There must be a mistake here! It's not about reinstating them. Did my husband misinform you? Although we are indeed related, but..."
Before she could finish speaking, Director Zhou glared at her angrily and said sternly, "Shut up!" As he spoke, Director Zhou cautiously glanced at Li Wenjie's face beside him, afraid that Wang Wanfang's loose tongue would offend this important figure.
Director Zhou was absolutely furious! He knew Wang Wanfang all too well; she was their deputy director's wife! The age gap was enormous—it was practically an old cow eating young grass! The affair had caused quite a stir in the bureau. While it was certainly inappropriate, it hadn't constituted any major breach of principle. Therefore, the deputy director doted on his young wife, indulging her every whim.
Regarding the matter of Lin Zhennan and his wife, Director Zhou actually knew some of the inside story. It was obvious that the deputy director was stirring things up and deliberately making things difficult for them. However, because the Lin couple didn't have any powerful connections, Director Zhou felt it was better to avoid trouble and hadn't intervened. Who would have thought that this time they'd stirred up such a huge mess!
