Song Zhanjin's expression changed drastically.
"No! Not this time!"
He stood up and said sternly, "Last time you gave the opportunity to Shi Kai and transferred him from the excrement removal team to the health center. I respect your choice, but this time..."
"Lin Wan-jun, are you confused from your nap? Do you know what you're saying?"
Shi Kai also refused.
"I don't want this opportunity. I already owe you a huge favor. No matter what you say, it won't work this time!"
Song Mingcheng and Li Yuetang also advised Lin Wanjun not to be confused.
"Junjun, Dr. Shi's situation is better than yours now. He's been transferred to the provincial capital's cadre sanatorium. This is a dream come true for many people. How could you refuse?"
Li Yuetang took Lin Wanjun's hand and said, "Being separated from Zhan Jin is only temporary. He can come to the provincial capital to see you when he returns, and you can come back to see us when you are free."
"Listen to Mom, let's not be stupid and stay here and suffer."
Lin Wanjun is not reluctant to part with Song Zhanjin!
Yes, this was originally a great opportunity to escape.
Anyway, the official female lead Dong Yingying is here, and she already knows the ending of the plot. She has planned so much, isn’t it just for her own safe landing in the future?
Now that she has Yang Hongxun as her trump card, she can easily get ashore and start a new life in the book world, but...
In her hand was the Song family's heirloom, a ring with space storage function.
If she leaves, what will happen to the Song family? Who will guarantee the Song family's livelihood for the next two years?
Moreover, in the original plot, Li Yuetang died of illness in the second year of his demotion. Calculating the time, it was only a few months later!
People are all made of flesh and blood. During these months of living together day and night, the affection that the Song family gave her was the warmth of family love that she had never experienced in her past or present life.
She couldn't bear to watch Li Yuetang die for her own selfish desires.
Perhaps in the novel, to the original author, Li Yuetang was just an insignificant NPC.
Her existence and death are only to promote the emotional development of the male and female protagonists.
But for Lin Wanjun, Li Yuetang is her most important relative, and she can even give everything for her.
"Don't try to persuade me. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here until I return to the city."
Lin Wanjun's tone was calm and firm.
Shi Kai also got angry and said, "I'm not going anywhere either!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little tense.
After a moment of silence, Yang Hongxun sighed.
"Great! I was right about you all. You are all kind and righteous people!"
He turned to look at his daughter and said with a smile, "How is it? I told you before that you were worrying too much, but you weren't convinced. Are you convinced now?"
Yang Jingru smiled with shame and apology.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, she took the initiative to explain.
"After finding our benefactor, my father couldn't wait to come and thank us in person. I... I disagree. I'm worried that you'll keep demanding repayment, which will lead to endless trouble."
"I said just have Secretary Liu come over. He'll give you money and supplies if you ask for them. He can even give a heads-up to the cadre school to make your life easier."
"My father, however, firmly believes in your character and integrity, and is convinced that his savior is not the kind of greedy person who would demand repayment for a favor."
Having said that, Yang Jingru stood up and bowed to Lin Wanjun and Shi Kai to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I was narrow-minded and underestimated you."
Lin Wanjun couldn't bear it, so she quickly stood up and supported Yang Jingru.
"You're not wrong. After all, Minister Yang's status and position are such that I should be cautious. Besides, I'm not as noble as you say."
She smiled and told the story of the fight she had just had with Zhao Shuping like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"After a few fights, everyone in the cadre school knows I'm a bitch. My reputation is terrible! They all say I'm not worthy of Song Zhanjin!"
Yang Hongxun widened his eyes.
"Who dares to say you're not worthy of Song Zhanjin? Forget it before, but if anyone dares to say that again, I'll be the first to disagree!"
Yang Jingru also agreed with a smile.
"Yes, from now on you can call me auntie. If anyone dares to bully you again, I will support you!"
Lin Wanjun grinned and made faces at Song Zhanjin with a provocative look.
"Did you hear that? Behave yourself from now on, or my aunt won't forgive you!"
Song Zhanjin smiled bitterly.
"Am I not honest enough? Ever since we got married, my parents have treated you a thousand times better than they treat me, their biological son. I often doubt that I'm their biological child."
Li Yuetang smiled and kicked her son.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat!"
The atmosphere became relaxed again, and the topic returned to who would work at the cadre sanatorium.
"Doctor Shi, you should go!"
Lin Wanjun advised, "Let's not talk about those official rhetoric about saving the world, let's just talk about our current situation. Everyone should strive for higher goals. How can we allow ourselves to fall and stand still?"
"Go to the cadre sanatorium first, and come back to North City if there's a suitable opportunity in the future!"
Yang Jingru also agreed.
"The work at the Cadre Sanatorium is easy, and there are opportunities for exchange and study abroad every year. I'm not bragging, but your previous job was really no match for what I arranged."
Shi Kai stared into Lin Wanjun's eyes, his heart churning uncontrollably.
I know clearly that there are some things and people I shouldn't think about or love, and I know clearly that I shouldn't cross the bottom line of human ethics, but...
He knew that the right choice was to work in a sanatorium in the provincial capital, leave here, and completely cut off the evil thoughts in his heart.
But what is right and wrong? Is there really a standard answer?
After a brief silence, Shi Kai raised his head, his eyes firm and calm.
"No, I want to stay in the cadre school!"
Yang Jingru wanted to persuade him again, but Yang Hongxun waved his hand to signal his daughter not to say more.
There was relief and appreciation in his eyes.
"You're all still young and have bright futures ahead of you. Staying here for a year or two to gain experience is a good idea. I respect your decision!"
Lin Wanjun felt a little regretful and sorry.
What's wrong with Dr. Shi? How could he give up such a good opportunity?
Although I don’t understand, I still choose to respect and bless!
No one talked about work anymore, and started chatting and laughing about daily life.
Somehow they ended up talking about Lin Wanjun finding food in the cave and Dong Yingying losing food. Yang Hongxun frowned slightly and turned to look at Secretary Liu beside him.
"Investigate this matter as quickly as possible. Stealing food is a serious crime!"
Secretary Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yesterday I just received a document about a grain theft case uncovered by local police... The document is in the car. I'll show it to you!"
Soon, Secretary Liu came in with a file bag.
"According to the suspects' confessions, the grain they stole and resold was most likely the grain Dong Yingying lost. You see, all the details match up."
Lin Wanjun pretended not to see the word "top secret" and moved forward to quickly scan it.
A truck with a Beicheng license plate, a male driver and a female owner, the time and place of the theft, the types and quantities of grain, and even a few photos of the stolen goods.
"Have Wei Yifu bring Dong Yingying over here!"
Yang Hongxun said in a deep voice, "Although it's not a big deal, we must clarify the difference between right and wrong and give everyone a clear explanation!"
