"Look at you, you scared everyone today. How are you going to pretend to be weak in the future?"
Li Baichuan found it quite amusing whenever he thought of the dumbfounded looks on his grandfather's face.
He casually said that his wife was faking it, because no matter what she was like, she was his favorite.
"I'm not pretending. It's not my fault that I look delicate and pretty!" Suti nuzzled the man's heart, looking as delicate as could be.
She is multifaceted and unpredictable in front of outsiders, but she is her most authentic self in front of Wei Baichuan.
She only shows her vulnerability to those closest to her; in front of others, she can portray a thousand different personas.
"Yes, it's all because my wife is so beautiful," Li Baichuan chimed in, adding that his wife was the most beautiful.
"You haven't told me about your time in the transportation department yet. Are the people there easy to get along with? Has anyone bullied you or given you a hard time?"
In front of their elders, even without prior discussion, the two tacitly reported only good news and not bad news.
She was afraid that he was a quiet person, and even if he suffered some injustice, he would feel that he was a man and would not want to say anything.
"I wasn't wronged, but I met an unexpected person, the one who had a conflict with us when we went to the movies last time, do you remember him?"
"He also works in the transportation department. He was terrified when he saw me, thinking I was there for him. Later, when he found out I also worked in the transportation department, he started chattering on and on."
"Director Chen knows my identity, and I guess everyone will soon find out the truth about my appearance."
"That guy named Biancheng asked me today why my grandpa and the others arranged for me to work in the transportation department. His eyes had a strange, pitiful look about them."
"I estimate that after learning the truth, many people will feel that my grandparents don't value me. Even if they don't dare to offend me openly, they will still gossip behind my back."
"But these are all minor matters, honey, don't worry. Those people won't dare to do anything reckless." Li Baichuan never hid anything from his wife.
Whether it's good or bad, his wife said not to use the excuse of "it's for your own good" or "I'm afraid you'll worry" to hide things from the other party.
They never kept secrets from each other, and he liked to share everything with his wife.
"The Ministry of Transport may not seem like much to us, but to outsiders, getting in is like having their ancestors' graves burned with incense. I bet there are a lot of people who are envious of that position."
“Before, people said there were no positions available and there was nothing they could do, but you openly and legitimately placed yourself in there. And once people know your true identity, they will think the same way you did.”
"You clearly have many places to go, but you chose to occupy a position in the transportation department. I guess many people will feel resentful."
“They wouldn’t dare do anything to you, but being a driver is no small matter. If they don’t teach you enough, you won’t be able to understand it, and it will be dangerous on the road.”
"So you can't be careless about everything. When necessary, you have to be ruthless to intimidate people and make them dare not have any opinions about you."
Suti knew that nowadays, drivers in the transportation department were not only ordinary drivers, but also needed to know how to repair cars.
They also have to face the dangers along the way.
Learning to drive wasn't difficult for Baichuan; the real challenge was learning repair skills. Those people were secretive, only teaching the surface-level techniques, which was enough to give Baichuan a hard time.
If you encounter anything on the road, you'll be helpless and have no one to turn to.
Another major concern in transportation is highway robbery. If the drivers in the transportation department are not focused, Baichuan alone simply cannot handle it.
"Wife, I know, I'm not that easy to bully. Have you forgotten about that man named Biancheng?"
"Others may not know, but he was someone I dealt with that day. I observed him, and he was considered a minor leader in the transport team."
“I’ve also inquired about it. His father is the director of a steel rolling mill. Compared to his grandfather’s intangible identity, they are more convincing.”
"I come from the countryside, and it seems that I am not valued by the Li family. They may look down on me behind my back, but the Biancheng family is truly respected."
“I’m a new employee, but Biancheng isn’t. If you can get him on your side, you won’t have to worry about not being able to make it in this transport team.”
Li Baichuan had considered all of his wife's ideas as well. He didn't intend to use his grandfather to intimidate her; his grandfather's identity was special and had already attracted enough attention recently.
In the countryside, he didn't care about the Wei family's reputation, but in the capital, he would protect the Li family's reputation.
"That's a good idea. When you beat someone up that day, that person was really scared."
"Others may be ignorant and think you're nothing special, but that person wouldn't dare. Baichuan, the Li family is indeed our backer, but if we want people to truly trust us, we still have to rely on ourselves."
"I've said before that all this is only temporary, and there's a much wider road ahead for us. Let's just treat the transport team as practice."
Suti analyzed the pros and cons, and concluded that it was up to him to decide what to do.
She can't raise him like a flower in a greenhouse, taking every step for him. Baichuan wouldn't like that either. She will let go and let him go out and explore.
"Yes, don't worry, honey, I know what I'm doing." Li Baichuan knew his wife was worried about him, and he also knew she understood him.
"Compared to your side, the Reform Department is much more civilized. They're all about cunning and trickery, but that's what I'm good at. I'm more afraid of hard labor than using my brain."
After hearing about what happened in Baichuan, Suti also recounted what was going on in his department.
"I think we need to get Qi Bowen out of here as soon as possible. What if he goes back to his old ways and gets that brainless Liu Hao to make things difficult for you?"
"That guy was obviously being used as a pawn, and he was impulsive. Who knows what he might do if he suddenly loses his mind?"
Li Baichuan frowned upon hearing his wife's words. Anyone with a brain would not easily offend her if they saw that she was being transported by a military vehicle.
Even without knowing the truth, she felt annoyed that she had taken Qi Bowen's place.
If they find out her identity later, that would be terrible.
He was even more afraid that Qi Bowen would be driven to desperation and do something else.
"Grandpa said he only gave them one day, and that's not even enough time for them to pack their things. It's difficult for him to do anything even if he wanted to."
Suti knew that the people in the Reform Department were speculating about her identity, and might even be trying to find out behind her back.
Liu Hao is indeed a ticking time bomb, but none of the people in the Reform Department are easy to get along with.
They were all very shrewd and resourceful, the only exception being Liu Hao. If you wanted to get rid of Liu Hao, you didn't necessarily have to take action yourself.
She wanted to use this opportunity to shift the blame and see through the facade of those people in the Reform Department.
"We should talk to Grandpa and the others tomorrow and ask them to send someone to keep an eye on them, just in case."
Li Baichuan thought about it and was still worried. Even if it was only for a day, he was afraid that something might happen.
