Remember [..] in one second! Jiang Jun nervously gripped the receiver. It beeped three times before the phone was picked up.
"Hello?" It was Wang Yuzhen's unique upward-rising response.
Jiang Jun was a little surprised. It was normal for neighbors to visit, but it was a little strange for a guest to answer the phone for the host. "Auntie Wang, this is Xiao Jiang. Is my mother here?"
Wang Yuzhen: "Director Ye is out with your father. He said he won't be back until around eight or nine o'clock. What's going on? Do you want me to tell you?"
Jiang Jun was so happy that she didn't care why Wang Yuzhen was there. She pretended that the person on the phone was the family's nanny. "I'm fine. I just called to let you know I'm safe. Just tell my mom that everything is fine. I have something else to do here, so I won't say much more!"
She is so lucky!
All the excuses and reasons I came up with on the spur of the moment are no longer useful.
If it was really Ye Qingyin who answered the phone and called her Xiao Jiang as soon as she opened her mouth, would she have to explain to Qin Xiao that she was her stepmother?
Turning around, Jiang Jun smiled and said, "Director Qin, thank you!"
Fortunately, the courtyard was equipped with an internal line for the army. She dialed the number reported by the military switchboard and got transferred to the extension without having to report Chen Zhong's name or Ye Qingyin's name.
If you want to call Jiang Yonghua, you have to transfer the call to the Cultural Bureau through the Ping County Post Office switchboard. If Jiang Yonghua himself does not answer the phone, you have to state who you are and who in which department you are looking for.
Even if Jiang Yonghua himself answered the phone, she had not told him about her business trip. If she suddenly received a long-distance call from Lingcheng, he would definitely ask about her life with concern. Her tone would definitely reveal the truth and let Qin Xiao find out.
Qin Xiao was a little surprised: "Is your family in the military?"
Jiang Jun didn't deny it, and his voice was filled with laughter: "My dad is."
Jiang Yonghua has changed her job, but she has changed her way of addressing Chen Zhong, calling him "Dad". Chen Zhong has always been optimistic about her and very supportive. The big change in her life is also thanks to Chen Zhong. She is willing to call Chen Zhong "Dad" from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Xiao's face was full of meaning. "Then why don't you wait a while before calling?"
Jiang Jun waved his hand: "No need! I have to go back to the office, otherwise my colleagues will be worried."
She wasn't really a little girl who missed home so much that she wanted to cry. If she didn't leave now, was she waiting to be exposed?
Qin Xiao didn't say anything more: "Whenever you want to call, just tell me and I'll bring you over."
This is his office phone.
Jiang Jun lowered his head and walked out: "Okay, thank you in advance!"
It’s already late, I have to go back and report my work to Bu Senyuan.
Bu Senyuan had already sobered up: "Why did the car crash so suddenly? Did they do it on purpose?"
Suddenly conspiracy theories emerged.
Jiang Jun didn't think so: "That pothole on the road is quite big."
Bu Senyuan pondered: "You didn't get out of the car to take a look?"
Jiang Jun: "I just got bumped that time and my nose started bleeding, and then they quickly turned the car around and headed back."
Yan Lixin was surprised: "I walked along that road before the New Year and didn't notice how big the potholes were. It's not smooth, but it's not bad enough to throw the car off."
Jiang Yun thought about it and said, "Team Leader Yan, we also stopped at a farm on the way. There was a director of the armed forces department who said he knew you."
Qi Chengzu's temperament doesn't seem to be the same as Qin Xiao's, but the intimacy and fearlessness in his tone make him sound like someone very close to him.
Yan Lixin was startled. "Oh, so it's from the farm to the machinery factory. That's the path nearby. I haven't been there. Did you meet Director Qi?"
Jiang Jun: "Yes, he said that the leaders were not there and he was alone, so Director Qin didn't take me in."
Yan Lixin: "Yes, even if Director Qin takes you into that farm, you can't get in! The people in there are all people who have committed serious crimes."
Jiang Jun was startled. Qin Xiao hadn't mentioned this to her. She'd felt eerie inside, and she was right. "Isn't that where the people of Lingcheng are provided with daily necessities? Aren't farms used to grow rice, vegetables, and livestock?"
Yan Lixin gave Jiang Yun a lesson: "People who make mistakes can't just sit there and reflect on themselves; they also need to undergo labor reform. This farm is for them to grow vegetables and crops!"
Jiang Jun understood: "Is there a lot of people inside now?"
The farm always has its own employees, and it is impossible that all of them are here to correct their ideological errors.
Yan Lixin shook his head: "I don't know the details, but I know that some people committed suicide a few years ago because they couldn't stand it anymore."
Jiang Jun shuddered, remembering Qi Chengzu's playful smile. He didn't seem like the type who would hang out with those gloomy-looking people all day. "Is our work also related to that?"
Yan Lixin still shook his head: "It doesn't matter, there are just a few sentences in the information that I need to find someone to verify."
Jiang Jun tilted his head to look at the ceiling. "Then why did he take me to the farm specifically? Just to fill that hole?"
After analyzing it this way, it does seem like "people everywhere want to harm me."
Bu Senyuan knocked on the table: "Don't think too much. Maybe it's just because Xiao Jiang is too young, to see how she reacts? Or to use her own words."
Jiang Jun didn't understand: "We came here with a letter of introduction to work, so they should try their best to cooperate."
Why do they say that not only do they not buy into their company's ideas, they also refuse to cooperate in every aspect?
Yan Lixin sneered, "What are you talking about? It's good enough that you don't openly oppose it."
They've been out for over six months now, and there's been no progress in the investigation. It's frustrating. Being alone during Chinese New Year, watching others enjoying reunion dinners while I can't even go home, is heartbreaking.
Bu Senyuan waved his hand: "No matter what they think, we will try our best to do our own thing. Anyone who disobeys will be recorded and reported. No mercy will be shown to them!"
"Is there any misunderstanding?" Jiang Jun wanted to find out.
Yan Lixin sneered again: "Hey, Xiao Jiang, you better grasp your position. Qin Shiyue is a well-known old fox. Few people can survive in front of him."
Jiang Jun looked at Yan Lixin's face full of anger. She didn't expect that colleagues who went out to do research would have such a hard time.
Think about when she was in the army's recruit company, she only faced the harsh environment or climate, and there were no man-made obstacles.
Bu Senyuan waved his hand: "Xiao Jiang, don't worry about the old fox or the little fox. We don't interfere with him and there is no conflict. Even if we have to deal with him, it's just following orders. If there are any problems, let them report to the higher-ups. Just focus on doing your job."
