Chapter 529: No Tolerance
Director Ma is old, but he can still tell the truth from what a young man of his age says if he observes carefully.
Seeing that Lu Miao was unaware of the situation, Director Ma became more clear-headed.
There must have been some misunderstanding, which made Lu Miao think that the letter was torn up by the child.
In fact, it was stolen.
Director Ma said, "You know Li Yue, right? Teacher Tan said you two are in the same major."
Lu Miao nodded.
More than just a profession?
They are in the same class, and their desks are slanted in front and behind each other.
"Teacher Tan called me yesterday and said something happened to the person I recommended and he wanted to talk to me in person. I thought it was you, so I rushed over this morning, only to hear a farce."
"I've read that letter, too. It's the one I wrote to you. Although I didn't write your name in it, I did ask you for the stamp from the translation office. Do you remember?"
Lu Miao was still a little confused and nodded blankly.
Director Ma continued, "The part with the writer's name at the bottom of the list was torn off."
“…It was pulled away.”
Lu Miao's lips moved and he murmured repeatedly.
Maybe it was because she was not feeling well or for some other reason, but it took her a while to concentrate on this matter.
"So, it was Li Yue who stole my letter and took it to the British Publishing House. Is that why Teacher Tan has been taking her with him?"
Director Ma asked, "Do you also think she stole your letter?"
Lu Miao nodded and said truthfully, "I couldn't find the letter at that time. My family said that the child tore up a piece of paper or some note. I thought the child was young and ignorant and accidentally lost it."
"Thinking about it afterwards, I kept feeling like something was amiss, very strange, and my assumptions were hard to reconcile. But without any other clues to support my thinking, I could only hastily conclude the matter."
Lu Miao pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then continued:
"Li Yue has always been at odds with me. You said she gave the letter to Teacher Tan, so she must have taken it."
If a passerby accidentally picks it up, a normal person has many options.
It may be handed in to the school, thrown away, or opened and read.
After reading the content, I took it to the ICP, of course there is a chance, but it is very small.
But if Li Yue accidentally discovered something while touching her things, she would take it away.
That's different.
Li Yue didn't get along with her and snatched away the opportunity that belonged to her. With Li Yue's personality, she would probably just feel happy and proud.
Director Ma listened to her analysis and nodded:
"I came here mainly to confirm this matter with you. If it is confirmed that she stole the letter, then this matter must not be tolerated."
Fu Jingyou poured a cup of warm water and placed it next to Lu Miao. Lu Miao took a sip and asked:
"How is the society going to handle this?"
"The British Society is not an ordinary department, and the British Society will not have the final say on this matter."
Director Ma didn't say anything else, but Lu Miao understood what he meant.
The British News Agency has no say, so the public security authorities have to step in.
Li Yue, I'm afraid that not only will she not be able to stay in the National English Society, but it will also be difficult for her to retain her student status.
Director Ma didn't say much, and Lu Miao didn't ask many questions.
After drinking a cup of tea, Director Ma told Lu Miao to have a good rest and then left.
Lu Miao stood up and said, "It's almost lunchtime. Director, please eat here before leaving!"
Director Ma waved his hand, "There will be plenty of opportunities to eat after dinner. The most urgent thing is to get this matter sorted out."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's all what needs to be done."
Lu Miao had no choice but to see Director Ma out, and Fu Jingyou followed closely behind.
Director Ma left the hospital and turned back to joke:
"Comrade Xiao Fu, you must take good care of Comrade Xiao Lu. She is a future pillar of the country!"
Lu Miao chuckled helplessly.
Fu Jingyou stroked the back of his head and responded with a smile.
After seeing Director Ma off and closing the gate, Fu Jingyou supported Lu Miao and walked into the house:
"What's up with that letter of recommendation?"
"I'm not particularly clear about the details. I only found out about it when Director Ma mentioned it just now."
Fu Jingyou frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then asked:
"What happened to your waist? Did someone from the British Society give you any trouble?"
Lu Miao was afraid that he would worry, so he didn't tell him much about work. He glared at him and asked instead of answering:
"Don't you know my temper? Who can make me angry? I'd better be thankful that I don't make others die of anger!"
Fu Jingyou was amused by her.
But after the brief smile passed, my heart became heavy again.
Fu Jingyou stared at the small figure with his deep peach blossom eyes, and the worry in his heart lingered for a long time.
He was always afraid that she would be wronged...
It's also his fault.
If he could work harder and earn more money, she wouldn't have to run around and please other people every day.
Lu Miao had no idea of the messy thoughts in his mind.
Because of the recommendation letter incident, she thought she would be angry, and she should be angry.
But in fact, her condition was like a balloon with a puncture point.
After a brief moment of shock, I didn't feel much.
As for being angry?
To be honest, she felt a little tired and weak, probably because she was not feeling well.
After all this trouble, I can’t sleep now.
Lu Miao turned around and said,
"Since you have nothing to do anyway, Brother You, go to the market and see if you can find any pea starch and weigh some back. Also, buy some mangoes."
He wanted to look at it for a while, then said, "Hmm,"
"Pick the hard mangoes. They ripen quickly in this weather. Soft ones rot easily."
The three children were taken by their grandparents to the Temple of Heaven Park for fun early in the morning.
It was boring to just sit there and rest, so Lu Miao considered trying making ice jelly.
It takes time to boil the starch paste and let it cool down.
If you calculate the time, after we finish, it will be noon or afternoon, and the whole family will come back just in time for dinner.
"Okay, I'll go buy it."
Fu Jingyou nodded: "Come here and lock the door. Don't open the door unless it's someone from your family."
"Yeah, got it."
Lu Miao supported himself and moved towards the door.
After Fu Jingyou left, the house suddenly felt empty.
Lu Miao returned to the room, drank the water in the cup, and washed the enamel pot used by Director Ma and put it away.
She had nothing to do, so she shook her wet hands, grabbed the thumb-thick hanging rope, and lay on her back leaning against the tire swing in the main room.
The truck's tires are so large that it's called a swing, but it's actually more like a hammock.
Lu Miao curled up inside, swaying gently on his toes.
The temperature in the room is just right, and it's quiet and comfortable to hang out in.
She tilted her head back and closed her eyes lazily, actually feeling a bit of enjoyment.
The young couple in the Fu family courtyard were busy looking for things to do.
On the other side, Director Ma left the Fu family and went to the Guoying Society again.
After some negotiations with Teacher He Tan, the two reached a consensus.
I directly called the errand boy on the third floor, walked behind the Guoyingshe News Agency, and went to the police station on the next street to report the incident.
Li Yue sat in the tea room drinking tea, holding the English textbook in her hand and reading it intermittently.
I was still thinking about how to deal with Teacher Tan’s next assessment.
When the public security comrades in white uniforms and wide belts came over, they caught her red-handed.
