"Don't worry, boss. Everything is arranged. We're just waiting for your instructions to get started. However, if Lingling finds out that you arranged this, she might blame you."
As Zhong Wanshan's personal secretary, Dong Hao naturally knew some things about his boss's family.
Clearly, Zhong Wanshan knew his daughter's temperament best. Hearing this, he was somewhat worried and sat down helplessly on the sofa opposite his desk.
After a long while, he finally spoke with a hint of dejection: "That boy from the Wang family is indeed clever, but he's too cunning, selfish, and has an impure mind. He's not suitable for Lingling. Isn't Wang Guilin trying to get those two siblings to go to the countryside?"
Give them a push from behind and send those two siblings far away. By the way, Xiao Dong, I remember your hometown is in Heilongjiang Province, right?
How are things? Do you still have relatives over there?
“Some leaders still have many relatives back in their hometowns. My uncle is now an accountant in Xiangyang Commune, Wangshan County, Xilin City.”
Having followed Zhong Wanshan for several years, Dong Hao immediately understood what his leader meant upon hearing this, so he directly told Zhong Wanshan about his uncle's background back in his hometown.
As expected, Zhong Wanshan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. After pondering for a while, he spoke again: "Didn't Wang Guilin want to arrange for his two young children to go to the countryside?"
"Let those two siblings go to Heilongjiang Province. Call our relatives back home and ask them to keep an eye on them. Ideally, they shouldn't come back."
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away. By the way, you have a meeting at 10 a.m., so I've left the materials in your office."
Zhong Wanshan genuinely liked Dong Hao. If it weren't for his silly daughter's poor judgment in choosing that boy from the Wang family and her stubborn refusal to listen, he would have really wanted Dong Hao to be his son-in-law.
But there's no rush. Once that Wang family kid goes to Heilongjiang Province, their feelings for each other will fade over time. Then I can try to bring them back together, and they'll still have a chance.
The more Zhong Wanshan looked at Dong Hao, the more pleasing he found him. He stopped keeping a straight face, smiled, and stood up, saying, "I'll go back with you. There's no rush with the Wang siblings' matter. We can deal with it after Wang Guilin and his wife's affairs are settled. We can see who's secretly helping Wang Guilin after he got into trouble, and then we can get rid of them too."
"I understand, leader."
Zhong Lingling, who was squatting under the desk, was stunned as she listened to her beloved father plotting against her beloved boyfriend's family.
She couldn't understand it at all. The two families had always had such a good relationship, and her father had never objected to her relationship with Wang Wenqi. So why was it like this now?
She knew her father's temperament. Although he was usually as kind and amiable as a Buddha, once he made up his mind about something, there was no chance to change it.
This is why, after her father disagreed with giving her the inkstone, she didn't throw a tantrum but instead thought of secretly taking it.
This is also why she didn't make a scene or stop her when she learned that her father was plotting against Wenqi's family. She knew that once her father made a decision, he would not change it.
Even for her, the daughter he usually dotes on the most, it's not an option.
On one side was her father who gave her life, raised her, and doted on her; on the other side was her childhood sweetheart. For a moment, Zhong Lingling, not knowing what to do, returned to her room like a lost soul.
The only way he could escape was by faking illness and hiding in his room.
Unbeknownst to her, who had missed two days of school, trouble had befallen the Wang family during those two short days. First, Wang Guilin and his wife were reported for having overseas connections and were suspected of treason. They were convicted in the shortest possible time and sent directly to a labor camp in the Northwest.
Although Wang Guilin had foreseen the situation and had Wang Wenqi and Wang Wenfang publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with them before the incident, the Wang siblings still suffered considerable repercussions.
She could no longer attend school, and Wang Wenfang, who had already been accepted into the military arts troupe, was directly rejected.
The house and valuables were confiscated. It was only after her father intervened that they were allowed to stay in the old house for a while and take their personal belongings.
Seeing Wang Wenqi and his sister bringing gifts they had bought with their meager savings to thank their father, Zhong Lingling felt as if her heart was being ripped out. This incident became a heavy burden on Zhong Lingling's mind.
Knowing she couldn't change the course of events, Zhong Lingling kept thinking about how to make amends to Wang Wenqi and his sister. It was because of this incident that when Wang Wenqi said goodbye to her, saying he was going to the countryside and asking if she would wait for him, Zhong Lingling resolutely said she would go to the countryside with him.
Firstly, she wanted to make amends for her father who had framed the Wang family behind the scenes. Secondly, she genuinely loved Wang Wenqi, and a relationship of over ten years was not something she could easily let go of. Therefore, even though Zhong Lingling knew that going to the countryside would be tough, she still resolutely decided to go with Wang Wenqi.
Of course, Wang Wenqi was indeed as Zhong Wanshan said, a selfish and scheming person.
So when he heard that Zhong Lingling was willing to go to the countryside with him, he not only did not stop her because he felt sorry for his girlfriend and thought she would suffer, but he was so moved that he immediately made a promise to be with Zhong Lingling for life.
Furthermore, the entire series of arrangements for Zhong Lingling to sign up for the rural service program were orchestrated by Wang Wenqi. Otherwise, given Zhong Lingling's intelligence, it would have been impossible for her to sign up for the rural service program without the knowledge of Zhong Wanshan, who wielded considerable power at the time.
