Shen Shuxian cleared her throat and put on a gentle smile: "Dewen, I don't know if you heard that my son Jianyong just joined the army last year."
After saying this, Shen Shuxian glanced at Shen Dewen's face, but he had no expression and still didn't say a word.
He didn't respond, so she had to bite the bullet and continue: "He has been spoiled since he was a child. If he is assigned to a place like the northwest or southwest, he won't be able to survive at all..."
"So, I just want to ask you for a small favor. It's not difficult. For you as the leader, it's just a matter of a word. Please help me transfer Jianyong to work by your side. That way, his father and I can feel more at ease."
"Of course, I don't want you to assign him a high position. A communications soldier or something will do."
When she finished her last word, Guo Yulin finally understood that she wanted Shen Dewen to give her son a backdoor.
It may not sound like a big deal, but Shen Dewen is upright and honest. He strives to be fair and just and firmly opposes any form of partiality. Even if it is his own son, he would not set this precedent.
And Shen Shuxian, as his sister, didn't even know this.
It would be fine if she didn't know, but logically speaking, Shen Shuxian wouldn't come to me for such a small matter, right?
...
...
Shen Dewen frowned and scolded Shen Shuxian: "What kind of army are you in? You can do whatever you want. What's wrong with the Northwest? Didn't the Xing family's son just come back from the Northwest? I didn't see him dying."
"If you can't stand hardship, you shouldn't have chosen the path of being a soldier!"
Shen Shuxian retorted, "How can my Jianyong compare with Xing Maohui? And you know that my Jianyong was forced to join the army by the old man. Otherwise, would I have sent Jianyong to suffer?"
Wang Jianyong is her youngest son. He is rebellious and cynical. He has caused countless troubles since he was a child. If she hadn't been behind him to clean up his mess, who knows what kind of trouble he would have become now.
Originally, she was going to bring him with her today, but he ran off with his group of bad friends early in the morning. He didn't care about his own affairs at all and only cared about playing.
Seeing that she had no respect for the army, Shen Dewen's face became even uglier, and he snorted coldly, "I can't help you with this matter, you should ask someone else for help, and don't come to my house in the future, we are not that familiar with each other."
It’s not that he doesn’t value family ties, but not everyone can be called family.
Shen Shuxian clenched the bag in her arms, stood up, pointed at Shen Dewen and said angrily: "If you don't want to help, then don't help. I don't care. Don't regret it."
Having said that, he left. The sound of his hard-soled leather shoes clattering on the ground revealed the owner's burning anger at the moment.
If it weren't for the good things done by Jianyong's father that implicated Jianyong, and the old man had not spread the word that no backdoor was allowed for Jianyong, would she have ignored the previous grudges and gone to find Shen Dewen? Looking at the entire Beijing city, Shen Dewen is the only one who is not afraid of the old man.
Li Jinning, who had just walked to the door of Shen's house, bumped into Shen Shuxian head-on. She recognized her as the lady who helped her speak well of Shen Yanli's parents in the hospital last time. A big smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Hello……"
Just after she said two words, the other party glared at her fiercely and bumped into her: "Don't you have eyes? Get out of here!"
Li Jinning's shoulder was hit so hard that tears came to her eyes. The difference in her attitude during the two meetings was so great that she stood there in a daze for a moment.
Her character was originally considered gentle, and she was the elder of Shen Yanli, so she couldn't speak out even if she was wronged. She only said timidly: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you."
Shen Shuxian was so angry that she had no place to vent it. After hearing what she said, she glared at her and then got into the car cursing.
Li Jinning, who was scolded for no reason, felt more aggrieved. She hesitated at the door of Shen's house, not knowing whether she should go in.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang, who came out to close the door, found her, came out to ask her identity, and took her in.
Li Jinning came to the Shen family's house for the first time and couldn't help but look around curiously. The small Western-style building was different. It had a large space and was quiet. It was unlike the tube-shaped building where her family lived. It was allocated by the unit and not only was the area small, but there were also a lot of noises between the neighbors and there was no privacy at all.
She was so focused on looking around and sighing that she didn't notice that there was someone sitting on the sofa. It was not until Guo Yulin spoke that she came to her senses.
Guo Yulin took in her reaction and said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Comrade Xiao Li? It's been a long time since we last met. Why are you here?"
Her tone was quite enthusiastic. Li Jinning shyly tucked the hair around her ears and explained softly why she came: "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm here to give you a feast..."
She subconsciously wanted to call Shen Yanli Yanli, but the moment she blurted it out, she remembered that when he sent her out of the ward, he had tactfully reminded her not to call him so intimately to avoid misunderstandings, and asked her to call him Comrade Shen as before.
So when the words came to her lips, she changed her words: "I am here to deliver documents to Comrade Shen. There are some technical problems in the research institute in the northeast. We may have to go on a business trip in two days."
"On a business trip?" Guo Yulin frowned. Shen Yanli's job was of a special nature and he had to be on call almost all year round. He couldn't take a break even during the Chinese New Year.
But for work notifications like this, can't I just make a phone call?
"Thank you for making this special trip." Guo Yulin saw through it but didn't say anything. He asked her to sit down and asked Aunt Wang to go upstairs and call Shen Yanli down.
"It's okay, it's my duty." Li Jinning smiled shyly, following Aunt Wang's back towards the stairs.
When she learned this morning that she could go on a business trip alone with Shen Yanli, she was so happy that she ran over on impulse. On the one hand, she wanted to see him, and on the other hand, she wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of his family.
Li Jinning retracted her gaze, thought of something, and asked with concern: "By the way, is uncle's leg better?"
"Much better."
At this time, Chen Yanli and Zhou Yunwan upstairs also learned about Li Jinning's visit.
Zhou Yunwan also thought that it was something that could be resolved with just a phone call, so why did Li Jinning have to brave the wind and snow to run to someone else's house to notify them?
What for? Of course it's for the banquet.
After Aunt Wang walked away, Zhou Yunwan reached out and grabbed Shen Yanli who was about to leave, and said in a low voice: "After we finish talking, tell me everything clearly."
Shen Yanli was confused: “What do you want to tell me?”
Seeing that he looked like he knew nothing, Zhou Yunwan was furious and snorted, "What do you want to confess?"
Of course, it was to explain the bad love affair that had come to his door.
