Factory Director Zhang suddenly asked.
"Let me not tell Comrade Qin for now; she'll tell me herself when she gets home from get off work tomorrow."
After hearing Wu Dong's words, Factory Director Zhang said, "I reckon Comrade Qin won't be able to sleep well tonight."
Wu Dong: "Even if I go back and tell him, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
Factory Director Zhang nodded: "That's true."
...
Have you seen Song Lan at the hospital?
As soon as Wu Dong entered the room, he heard Qin Yanzheng's clear, urgent voice.
"Yes, Brother Wu, does my sister-in-law work at the hospital?"
Qin Boyan also asked a question.
"I met Comrade Song."
This is how Wu Dong answered.
Qin Yanzheng was always perceptive, and he noticed something amiss in Wu Dong's words, so he pressed on, "Where did you see it? I want to hear the truth."
"Comrade Qin, Comrade Song asked me to tell you that she has something to tell you after get off work tomorrow."
This is clearly a diversionary tactic.
"Wu Dong, tell me where she is?"
Qin Yanzheng emphasized his words.
"Comrade Qin..."
Wu Dong was in a dilemma and hesitated to say what he had to say next.
"Brother Wu, you're hiding something from us, and the reason you're doing this is because my sister-in-law instructed you, right?"
Qin Boyan hit the nail on the head.
"Don't make wild guesses, you have school tomorrow, go back to your room and rest!"
Wu Dong did not answer Qin Boyan's question. He patted the other man on the shoulder and said, "Young man, don't overthink things, or you won't grow tall."
"Brother Wu, I'm not a child anymore!"
Qin Boyan was dissatisfied.
"Go and rest. Your older brother is injured, and staying up late is bad for his health."
Wu Dong then dismissed Qin Boyan.
"It's not even eight o'clock yet, how can I possibly fall asleep?"
Qin Boyan stood still.
"She's not in the nursing position, so is she doing well in her new job?" Although he couldn't see, Qin Yanzheng determined his location by Wu Dong's voice. At this moment, he faced Wu Dong directly, trying his best to suppress his emotions.
Wu Dong knew that Qin Yanzheng couldn't see him because there was no light in his eyes. However, at this moment, he felt that Qin Yanzheng's eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see into his heart, which made him stiffen involuntarily.
"Comrade Song said it's very good."
A flicker of struggle crossed Wu Dong's eyes, but he still subtly informed Qin Yanzheng about Song Lan's work situation, letting him know that Song Lan was indeed not working at the hospital.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
Qin Boyan exploded: "My sister-in-law is a nurse, why isn't she allowed to work as a nurse?" Seeing Wu Dong remain silent, he seemed to remember something and grabbed the other man's arms urgently, asking: "Brother Wu, tell me, my sister-in-law... my sister-in-law, does she not work at the hospital at all?"
"Second brother, don't pressure Comrade Wu. If he wants to tell us, he will. If he doesn't want to, there's no use in pressuring him."
Qin Yanzheng advised Qin Boyan.
"But... but if my sister-in-law doesn't work at the hospital, where could she be? Could it be that someone is bullying her, taking her job, and transferring her away from the hospital to work elsewhere? But what right do they have to do that?"
Qin Boyan's voice was filled with grief, indignation, and resentment: "They moved us from the capital to this remote place, and now they've changed my sister-in-law's good nursing job to another one. Do they not want our family to do well?"
"Stop talking!"
Qin Yanzheng was already unsettled after confirming that Song Lan's job had changed and she was no longer working as a nurse at the hospital. Now, Qin Boyan's words made him even more anxious.
His wife was originally a nurse, but she's not in a nursing position, and she might not even be working at the hospital. So... so what kind of job will she be transferred to?
With his eyelids lowered, Qin Yanzheng remained silent for a long while before raising his head to face Wu Dong again. His expression was cold and his voice was clear and deep: "Comrade Wu, if I remember correctly, I am currently the deputy director of this machinery factory, right?"
That's right.
Wu Dong responded.
"Since I am the deputy director of the factory, can you tell me now which department my wife works in?"
Qin Yanzheng released an invisible pressure, but Wu Dong did not let him have his way, and only said: "Comrade Qin, even if I tell you now, what can you do?"
Moreover, I did meet Comrade Song and talked to her. She said she didn't feel wronged at not being able to stay in the nursing position. She said she was doing well in her new job and that she had already received praise from her superiors and was sincerely admired by her colleagues after only two days at work.
To avoid causing you anxiety about her job change, Comrade Song specifically instructed me not to tell you her current position yet, but to tell her personally when she gets home from work.
Before Qin Yanzheng could speak, Qin Boyan's eyes were already red: "My sister-in-law was bullied and I didn't know. Brother Wu, can't you really tell me now?"
Wu Dong said helplessly, "Comrade Song is really fine now, and everything I just said was true. You really don't need to be nervous."
"Second brother, go back to your room and rest. Since Comrade Wu said so, it's clear that your sister-in-law is doing very well in her new job." Qin Yanzheng didn't hear Qin Boyan move his feet, so he added, "Go ahead. You'll know what you want to know when you see your sister-in-law tomorrow."
Qin Boyan pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then said goodnight to Qin Yanzheng and Wu Dong before heading back to his room.
Time passes silently.
Wu Dong went to the yard to wash up. When he returned to the room feeling refreshed, he saw Qin Yanzheng still sitting on the headboard, not lying down to rest. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, knowing that Qin Yanzheng was waiting for him!
It was already completely dark, and the clock was almost pointing to nine o'clock.
"Comrade Qin, is this something you need my help with?"
Qin Yanzheng could have easily lay down on his own. Hearing Wu Dong's words, he shook his head and asked, "Can you tell me now?" His younger brother was young and impetuous, and this Comrade Wu was somewhat reserved and couldn't reveal the specifics of his wife Song Lan's current situation. He didn't blame him, but at this moment, there were only the two of them in the room, and he hoped that Comrade Wu wouldn't continue to hide it from him.
“I knew Comrade Qin wouldn’t give up easily.”
With a wry smile, Wu Dong put his toiletries under his bed, then sat down on the edge of the bed and said to Qin Yanzheng, "Okay, I can tell you, but when Comrade Song comes back tomorrow, I hope Comrade Qin will pretend that he doesn't know anything and not betray me."
"Rest assured, I, Qin Yanzheng, would never betray my comrades."
Their conversation made the atmosphere in the room a little more relaxed.
Wu Dong: "This is what happened..."
Wu Dong didn't continue to hide it, but he also didn't reveal everything, such as Director Zhang's speculation. Therefore, what Qin Yanzheng heard from him was only that Song Lan had gone to the staff hospital to report that day.
They were told that the nursing positions were full and that other positions in the hospital were not short of staff at the moment. However, Dean Wang happened to know that the security department needed people, so he negotiated with the security department to temporarily transfer Song Lan there, promising to transfer Song Lan back as soon as a nursing position became available.
