Chapter 48: The Hope of the Nation and Ethnicity

  Thank you sun1221 for rewarding 10,000 starting coins!!

  "My sister and I are currently unemployed, running into you today is also fate. Director Yang, if you're hiring, please consider us first under the same conditions." Gu Zhang handed the form to Yang Bin after filling it out and teased him at the same time.

  "That's definitely no problem, follow me and I'll make sure your future is bright." Yang Bin patted his chest in agreement. But he also detected the mocking tone in Gu Zhang's voice, guessing that these two would not possibly look down on the work here, and at this time filling out two forms was probably just to save face for him.

  It's better this way, and if it doesn't work out, no big deal, we can just think of another way to recruit people.

  Gu Zhang and Yang Bin chatted for a few more sentences, all about some bland topics. He was chatting with Yang Bin while sneaking glances at Tang Wan's expression. Tang Wan hadn't spoken again, mainly because she didn't know what to say. Just then, Su Qin called again, and after Tang Wan hung up the phone, she felt it wasn't suitable to continue sitting there without a topic, so she made an excuse to call Gu Zhang and prepare to leave.

  When leaving, Tang Wan once again expressed her gratitude to Yang Bin for retrieving her bag and invited him to dinner another day. Yang Bin naturally responded with courtesy and promised to take her up on the offer, saying something about hoping to have the opportunity to work together in the future. Then Tang Wan and Gu Zhang stood up and left.

  ……

  "Tang, you seem to be in a pretty good mood today?" Gu Zhan said while driving, looking at Tang Yuan through the rearview mirror who was staring blankly with a faint smile and blush on her face.

  At the age of 27 or 28, Gu Zhang had received professional training and had been through life-and-death experiences, so his experience was much richer than ordinary people. He could be considered an old man, naturally he understood the thoughts of young girls very well. Moreover, Tang Yuan was a person with simple experiences and pure thoughts, so whatever she thought or felt, Gu Zhang could see it at a glance.

  "Sometimes... going out for a walk... is quite enjoyable." Tang Wan replied absent-mindedly to Gu Zhan.

  "That Yang Bin, you were going to confront him earlier, but when you got there, you completely forgot about the main issue and even filled out a job application form... I'm ready to take orders from you at any time to go catch him." Gu Zhang continued to tease Tang Yuan.

  "Now that you mention it... I seem to have remembered something. Hmm, Gu Zhang, what do you think is the reason why Yingying invited him out for dinner?" Tang Wan intentionally changed the subject.

  "It's possible... that Yingying encountered something and he happened to be there to help, just like this time when he helped you retrieve your bag? Otherwise, there shouldn't be any other connection between Yingying and him." Gu Zhan listened to Tang Wen's words and thought of Yang Bin's way of doing things, which led to a relatively reasonable inference.

  "Why did he drag me out in front of the reporters and pretend I was his boyfriend?" Tang Wan continued to ask Gu Zhan.

  "Maybe... that reporter asked him about his relationship with Yingying, and he didn't want the reporter to spread rumors about him and Yingying, so he pretended to be your friend, President Tang? But those reporters, in order to get a scoop, distorted his words and made it sound like you two were having an affair..." Gu Zhan continued to reason.

  "But he just claimed to know me in front of you." Tang Wan shook her head.

  "Wow! The people of Yunfeng City, who wouldn't be proud to know you?" Gu Zhan didn't look surprised at all.

  "Isn't he very vain?" Tang Wan rolled her eyes.

  "It's okay, I quite appreciate his character, a bit silly, but very straightforward, kind-hearted, and daring... You didn't see the scene at that time... Five robbers with iron rods and knives! He didn't receive professional training and dared to fight them bare-handed, just to help a stranger retrieve their bag... Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise he would have been seriously injured or even killed at that moment..." Gu Zhang was not stingy with his praise for Yang Bin.

  He praised so much, and Gu Zhan indeed had a good impression of Yang Bin. Moreover, he also felt that Tang Yuan had a crush on Yang Bin, but she was too shy to admit it, so he was just speaking in line with her intention.

  "This guy is really a bit silly." Tang Wan rolled her eyes again. Losing that bag was just a small trouble for Tang Wan, but Yang Bin risked his life to retrieve it for her, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

  Moreover, this feeling was different from when she sat in the car watching Yang Bin help the old man who had fallen to the ground that morning. After all, this time she was no longer just a bystander. At that time, those robbers pushed her into the muddy water pit, and she was very angry. If it wasn't for Yang Bin chasing up front and holding them back, Gu Zhang wouldn't have found them so easily and taught them a good lesson to vent her anger.

  "There are still some people in this world, like Yang Bin, who are purely good and have not been assimilated into society. Their behavior cannot be inferred by societal norms." Gu Zhan brought up the topic he had debated with Tang Yun that morning again.

  "Perhaps..." Tang Wan finally stopped arguing with Gu Zhan.

  "He is indeed a straightforward and kind-hearted person who should be an official, and he should be a high-ranking official." Gu Zhan sighed sincerely. Of course, this was also due to Yang Bin's own words about wanting to be a high-ranking official.

  "That's right, with great power comes great responsibility. With a heart that always aspires to do good for the people, one can become an official with moral integrity and virtue, only then will our country and nation have hope. Gu Zhan, you've never been abroad, you don't know how foreigners view us Chinese people, our national quality is indeed relatively poor, but if everyone takes action, like Yang Bin, this world will no longer be able to look down on us Chinese people." Tang Yuan also sighed with emotion.

  "Mr. Tang, you're absolutely right! You said it much better than I could have. There were many things I wanted to say but couldn't quite put into words, and yet when you say them, they sound so profound! And once the philosophical level of your speech is elevated, it feels completely different!" Gu Zhan hastily flattered Tang Yuan a few times, but in his heart, he was secretly laughing... Mr. Tang, could it be that you have a thing for that kid? Why are you being so ambiguous? You're bringing up the hopes of the country and nation, isn't that going too far?

  Tang Wan fell silent, seemingly pondering more profound philosophical issues. From the rearview mirror, Gu Zhan could clearly see that whenever Tang Wan was thinking, a faint smile would appear at the corner of his mouth.

  ……

  The whole afternoon passed in a flash, as it was the last day of recruitment, many booths were closed in the morning and there were hardly any people entering the exhibition center to apply for jobs in the afternoon. At 4 o'clock, the exhibition center stopped allowing people to enter, other companies all started packing up, and Yang Bin had no choice but to help Zhao Zhipeng gather his things.

  After leaving the exhibition center, Yang Bin thought about it and called Sun Piaoyun to report on the recruitment work in the afternoon. Sun Piaoyun was somewhat absent-minded and told Yang Bin that Director Dai had been hospitalized and seemed to need surgery. She and the leaders of the bureau were on their way to the hospital and asked if Yang Bin wanted to go together.

  Yang Bin inquired about the situation and learned the specific address of Director Dai's hospitalization, but he made up an excuse to refuse going with Sun Piaoyun and others. It can be imagined that many people from the bureau will visit the hospital this afternoon and evening, he doesn't want to meet those people, and plans to go alone tomorrow to visit Director Dai.

  Sun Piaoyun only casually mentioned it to Yang Bin, not really thinking that Yang Bin would go with her. After a brief conversation with Yang Bin, she hung up the phone.

  After feeding the dog, Yang Bin spent the whole evening wandering around the streets to do good deeds. Once he confirmed that he had earned merit points on his phone, he would quietly leave.

  Tonight, he was quite lucky. Perhaps it was the accumulation of some good deeds that improved his efficiency in earning merit points. Adding to the merit points he received this morning and noon, after filling up the 10/10 merit points on his phone, he even added four more merit points to the merit pool. This way, he now has a total of fourteen merit points available for use.

  At eleven o'clock in the evening, Yang Bin returned to his rental house, exhausted and tired. After washing up, he took off his clothes and fell onto the bed.
