534: I don’t know how to thank you
Bai Zongdan gritted his teeth and after a long while, he finally uttered two words from his trembling lips:
"Thanks!"
A complex and intense emotion surged in Bai Zongdan's chest, both gratitude and regret.
He was grateful to Director Zhou and Yu Xiaoye for their sincere and enthusiastic help, but he also felt guilty for suspecting that Director Zhou would make things difficult for him.
How could he judge others by his own mean standards and imagine that the upright Director Zhou was so despicable?
I am narrow-minded!
Director Zhou's breadth of mind and bearing were at a level he would never be able to reach in his entire life!
Bai Zongdan could no longer control his emotions, and two lines of tears burst out from his eyes.
The two people in the office saw Bai Zongdan crying uncontrollably and inexplicably felt a sense of empathy.
For the educated youth who went to the countryside, being able to return to the city through recruitment was like climbing a ladder to heaven.
This ladder does not lead to an ordinary factory, but to the Construction Bureau in Beijing!
Only a leader with considerable strength could secure such an extremely precious spot for his own children.
Anyone would be ecstatic if such a great opportunity suddenly and unexpectedly fell upon them.
But this opportunity has a deeper meaning to Bai Zongdan, so he cried with joy.
Seeing Bai Zongdan crying, Zhou Ziheng instructed:
"Go back and pack up. Come back here tomorrow morning and leave for the capital with Comrade Zhang. Once you get there, work hard. You came from our Corps Farm and, in a sense, represent our farm. Perform well when you get out."
“Hmm!”
Bai Zongdan sighed, wiped away his tears, took the documents in his hand, turned around and left the office.
After leaving the office building and exiting the corridor, I raised my tearful eyes and looked towards the square in front of the building. Only then did I realize that the sky above the square, which had been gloomy, was now clear.
The faint sunlight shone on my face with a hint of warmth, warming my cold cheeks.
He wiped the tears from his face and looked at the vast sky again.
Thinking that he was about to leave this place, leaving this black land where he had worked and lived for six years, he suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
He once thought that perhaps he could get a chance to return to the city by marrying Lin Darong.
But I didn't expect to return to the city so suddenly.
And you don't have to marry someone you don't like.
The job quota given to him by Director Zhou really pulled him out of the quagmire of fate and allowed him to see hope in life again!
He let out a long breath.
The depression that had been accumulating in my heart for some time was also exhaled.
Bai Zongdan wandered in the square in front of the building for a long time, finally calmed down his excitement, and returned to the auditorium.
I walked into the office subconsciously and saw Yu Xiaoye concentrating on copying something.
Hearing footsteps, Yu Xiaoye looked up and saw that it was Bai Zongdan. A smile immediately broke out on his face.
Bai Zongdan was infected by that smile and finally smiled too.
Yu Xiaoye stood up and asked:
"Did the director tell you everything?"
"Well, I told you." For the first time in a while, Bai Zongdan had the courage to stand in front of Yu Xiaoye and looked into Yu Xiaoye's eyes and said, "Yu Xiaoye, thank you for helping me so much."
"You're welcome. I just can't stand Lin Darong's mother blackmailing you."
Bai Zongdan looked surprised:
"How do you know?"
"I guessed it right away. You've been so discouraged lately, so I suspected that the Lin family was deliberately making things difficult for you. I was only sure of it when Lin Darong's mother sent you something that day."
Bai Zongdan didn't expect that Yu Xiaoye was so observant that he could even see that he was in a bad mood, and he could guess that the Lin family was making things difficult for him.
This shows how smart this girl is.
Bai Zongdan said with shame:
"I'm sorry to cause trouble for you and the director."
"No, how could that be? Anyway, there is an extra job opening. If we really want to select from the educated youth, your ability is no worse than anyone else. You deserve it."
Bai Zongdan smiled again. Yu Xiaoye's words always made people feel like spring breeze, and their mood improved after hearing them:
"I really don't know how to thank you guys. I really can't repay you."
"No need to thank me, and no need to repay me. The director and I are not doing this for you to repay us. I just hope that you can be happy when you go to the capital and do what you like."
"Well, I will. I still want to thank you! A thousand words can't express it!"
Bai Zongdan's repeated thanks made Yu Xiaoye feel embarrassed:
"It's okay. Go back and get ready. I heard they're leaving tomorrow, so you'll definitely have a lot to pack. Take everything you need."
"Um!"
Bai Zongdan left the office and returned to the dormitory to pack his luggage.
His roommate Chai Jixian had returned to the city to visit his family, and he was the only one left in the dormitory. Bai Zongdan felt a little regretful that he had not had time to say goodbye to the people in the team, so he wrote a farewell letter to Chai Jixian at the table beside the bed and placed it on the table with a toothbrush cup to hold it down.
I also wrote a thank-you letter to Section Chief Wei.
After writing the letter, he thought that maybe he should paint another picture to give to Yu Xiaoye and the director.
Although his ability is limited and he cannot express his gratitude to those who helped him, he can at least express his feelings through painting, which he is good at.
To be honest, his writing and painting skills were cultivated here, which led to his huge improvement.
Farms generally will not easily let go of the talents they have cultivated.
Now that Director Zhou can let him go, it is a great favor both publicly and privately.
So Bai Zongdan returned to the studio, took some painting tools, and painted a print of Yu Xiaoye and Director Zhou overnight.
In the print, two people, one in front and one behind, one tall and one short, look in the same direction, appearing
Intimate without being too cloying.
The painting was finally finished when it was almost dawn.
He lay back on the bed and took a nap for a while, then got up, washed, and tied up the quilt with a rope.
I packed a big suitcase and a big net bag.
After eating in the cafeteria, I went out with my luggage.
It was not until this time that Section Chief Wei learned that Xiaobai was leaving.
Section Chief Wei almost fainted.
Yu Xiaoye had anticipated this and quickly supported Section Chief Wei, comforting him repeatedly:
"Chief Wei, Chief Wei, it's okay. Xiaobai is gone. I'll take over his job from now on!"
Section Chief Wei slumped in his chair:
"What on earth is going on? Why are you leaving so suddenly? Why wasn't there any news before?"
Yu Xiaoye told Section Chief Wei about the recruitment.
Section Chief Wei didn't know that the Beijing Construction Bureau was recruiting workers because this was not within his job scope.
But when I heard that Xiaobai was going to the Beijing Construction Bureau, it suddenly didn't seem like such a big blow.
After all, it is the Construction Bureau of the capital!
That’s a great unit that you’d be hard-pressed to get into!
Although Section Chief Wei was saddened by the loss of such a great general, he was also happy for Xiaobai's future.
Section Chief Wei felt very complicated, between happiness and sadness.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Director Zhou would give such a precious recruitment quota to Xiaobai.
He was a little worried that Xiaobai would be treated unfairly by Director Zhou.
Now it seems that it is indeed "unfair".
Director Zhou has an absolute preference for Xiaobai.
I don't know if it's because Director Zhou is broad-minded and doesn't hold grudges, or if it's because—
Section Chief Wei couldn't help but glance at Yu Xiaoye again - should he still listen to his wife?
