"That's true. Everyone knows that in Beijing, officials below the minister level aren't really considered officials."
With our dad's status, although it's not a very high level, most people still have to respect us.
If our Jing family had stayed in Beijing back then, things would be much more convenient for us now.
"Unlike now, when I try to do business in Beijing, I encounter obstacles everywhere."
"That's right. People from the capital have an easier time doing business than us. Even when they go to other places, people are more popular with people from the capital than with people from other places."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you guys can go back and rest! If anything happens, let me know right away, and don't complain to me."
"Yes, Dad."
"Boss, stay here. Everyone else, go back!"
"yes."
"What's wrong? I just saw you answer a phone call. Did something happen?"
"Nothing much? It's just that Liu Tong from the investment company called me and said that someone recommended someone to her, and that she can't refuse."
"Is there a problem with this? Isn't it normal?"
Isn't this kind of thing very common in our country?
"It's very common, nothing special! But do you know who recommended this person?"
"who?"
"Cui Tao!"
"You mean, the son of Uncle Cui, who worked with our dad when we were in the army brigade?"
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this is probably not only Cui Tao's idea, but also Uncle Cui's doing."
After all, how many people does Cui Tao know? And the only person capable of handling this is Uncle Cui.
"Regardless of whether it's him or not, let's not worry about that for now. Just tell us, who did he recommend for a job at the investment company?"
"Jing Qianqian!"
"What? It's her? Are you kidding me? Why would someone recommend her?"
"When did Uncle Cui get to know Jing Qianqian?"
"I'm afraid it's not that he knows her, but rather that he's Old Master Jing."
"That's true. After all, they were comrades-in-arms with our dad, so it's not surprising that they know each other."
“That’s right. And Liu Tong just said on the phone that Jing Qianqian will start working at the company tomorrow, and we must arrange for a capable person to mentor her.”
"What exactly is the Jing family trying to do? Are they in urgent need of cultivating talent?"
That's not how you train someone, okay? Doing business isn't something just anyone can do.
"I don't know. They just want to take over the shares I have, without even considering whether they're qualified."
"In that case, no matter what happens between her and Mingcheng in the future, I'm afraid this girl's motives are not pure."
"Ignore her. She wants my shares with Liu Tong? Dream on."
However, regardless of the circumstances, my second sister still needs to know about this; she needs to be aware of the situation.
“You’re right. If she really doesn’t have any ill intentions, then it can be considered a test for her.”
After all, when a man and a woman are dating, it's not just the man who needs to be tested; the woman needs to be tested too.
"That's right. By the way, did those kids who came to help leave?"
“I sent them all back; we don’t need that many people here.”
Secondly, they looked very tired, and I didn't know what they had been busy with these past few days, so I didn't let them stay any longer.
"That's true, but they've put in the effort anyway. I'll introduce them to a few projects later as a way of thanking them for their help."
"No problem, no problem, you can handle it as you see fit."
But just now, someone from above called to ask how Mom is doing.
"How so?"
"We definitely can't tell the truth about this right now. My brother is worried that there are people in higher positions who have close ties to the Jing family, and that all our efforts might be in vain."
To put it bluntly, the dean and everyone else here have a good relationship with our second sister, so they won't gossip.
"That's fine then, but there's no need to stay in the hospital for too long. If necessary, we can move to Miaoshan after we're discharged."
The scenery there is beautiful, and it's also suitable for elderly people to recuperate.
"That's true. If we stay here for ten days or half a month, it should be fine. But if it's longer, I'm really worried that our parents will get angry."
"Your idea is better. I'll tell them about it first thing tomorrow morning, to save them from making a scene."
"Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest!"
I imagine we'll have to deal with other people tomorrow too.
"That's true. I'm afraid quite a few people will know about Mom's hospitalization tonight, and they'll definitely come to visit. We'll have to deal with them properly."
"That's right, we absolutely cannot let anyone notice anything."
"That's right."
Wouldn't they throw a tantrum? Even if it's comfortable to live here, it's not their own home.
Besides, this is a hospital, with people coming and going, so it's no wonder it's not comfortable to stay here.
Even patients don't want to stay here, let alone healthy patients.
Needless to say, I probably couldn't even stay for a week, let alone ten days or half a month.
It would be better to go to Miaoshan for recuperation then. Presumably, even if others have doubts, they won't bother to investigate.
Another reason is that it can also divert attention, since Beijing isn't exactly peaceful tonight.
"Xiao Wu, you're back."
"Grandpa, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Grandpa wanted to sleep, but we were too noisy here."
"How could that be? Didn't they all finish making a ruckus late at night?"
"How could it be over? Your Grandma Shen was just taken away by the ambulance not long ago."
The Wang and Fang families have both been taken into custody.
"What? No, what exactly is going on?"
I just learned a bit about the situation from Shen Xiaoshi, and I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, but how come the Wang and Fang families have been taken into custody?
"Grandpa doesn't know either. All Grandpa knows is that the Wang and Fang families, and the Zhang family, were all taken away, and their homes were sealed off."
"It's sealed off, Grandpa, is that what you mean?"
"Of course it is! If you don't believe me, you can go and see those three houses. The seals on their doors are probably still warm."
"No, what exactly did these three families do wrong? How could this happen?"
"Grandpa wants to know too, but he doesn't know."
By the way, how is your grandmother, Shen?
"Fortunately, I was taken there in time and am out of danger."
"That's good, that's good. Getting angry is the worst thing for older people."
Indeed, if Zhang's daughter-in-law hadn't caused this commotion, none of this would have happened.
Xiao Wu, remember this: when choosing a wife, choose a virtuous one.
"Grandpa, I know."
"Good to know. You should go back and rest now! Tomorrow, accompany Grandpa to the hospital to visit your Grandma Shen."
