Chapter 42 Selling the House

  "What's the hurry? I said I'd help you, and I will. What kind of relationship do we have? Are you afraid I'll tell outsiders? Little Qin, it's not like I'm saying this to scold you, but in the past, you seemed quite mature. How come you've been so impatient these days?" Sun Piaoyun couldn't help but speak sternly to Qin Liang.

  "Alas, I know, it's really... alas... forget it, these past few days have been a bother to Sun Jie." Qin Liang hung his head in shame, this bitter resentment was indeed hard to swallow. But he also knew that under the current circumstances, it would be very difficult for him to regain face in the short term.

  "You don't have anything else to do, so get out. It's not good for people to see you always staying in my office." Sun Piaoyun gave Qin Liang an order to leave. Although the two had a mutually beneficial exchange, here I, Sun Piaoyun, am the leader and you are the subordinate, Qin Liang, you need to remember this point clearly.

  "Right, Sister Sun, let's go to the project team 4 meeting again tomorrow morning, I have something in my office." Qin Liang suddenly lowered his voice and said to Sun Piaoyun.

  "Oh?" Sun Piaoyun's eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't ask any further questions.

  "Manager Li and I have an appointment tonight, all the accounts from last time have been settled, tomorrow..."

  "I know, let's talk about it again tomorrow at your place... there are too many people and prying eyes here." Sun Piaoyun waved her hand at Qin Liang, stopping him from continuing.

  "Then I'll get busy first." Qin Liang stood up and backed out of the office door.

  "Busy, busy... oh dear, really busy..." Sun Piaoyun sighed and muttered a few words to herself before lowering her head to look at the documents in her hand.

  ……

  Yang Bin was thinking of going to Director Dai's office alone to thank him after leaving Sun Piaoyun's office. Later, he felt that being seen by others might not be good, and he didn't know if there were other people in his office, so he gave up the idea after some thought.

  Anyway, Director Dai will be going to the hospital in two days, and it would be more suitable to visit him at the hospital then.

  Yang Bin left the China Merchants Bureau almost at noon, he found a small restaurant on the side of the road, ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, to treat himself.

  Before, when Yang Bin was with Zhou Xiao Yi, the two were basically penniless after paying rent. Since Zhou Xiao Yi left a week ago, Yang Bin had less than 100 yuan left in his pocket and borrowed another 100 yuan from Zheng Ying to barely get by. In this situation, he could only afford to eat irregularly, having street food like fried dough sticks or pancakes for breakfast, eating noodles or take-out for lunch, and boiling instant noodles at home for dinner.

  And also dog feces need to be fed.

  Although for ordinary families, raising a dog is not a big deal, but now Yang Bin's hands are too tight, and the dog is growing up at this time, eating no less than Yang Bin. Sometimes Yang Bin really wants to throw it back on the street, following himself is also suffering, but every time he sees the dog's cute eyes, he can't bear to do so.

  This little stray dog, even if thrown onto the streets, would not be taken in by anyone and would ultimately either die from hunger or cold or be raised to be slaughtered for meat.

  Following him, at least I won't go hungry or freeze, and I won't become a miserable stray dog.

  Anyway, today I finally got into the China Merchants Bureau's establishment and became a real civil servant. It's really worth celebrating. I'll order more dishes and bring them back to my rental place to feed my dog later, it's time for its extra meal.

  Yang Bin was eating when his phone rang, it was a call from his father.

  "How's the thing with the compilation going?" As soon as the phone was answered, Father directly got to the point, and his voice was obviously trembling due to tension.

  A week ago, Yang's father and mother already knew that today would announce the result of the transfer, and the two were anxiously waiting for the news.

  Yang Bin patted his own head... should have made a phone call to them, told them about it, and avoided their constant worry and wait until now.

  Alas... When one becomes a parent, they always keep their children in mind, but when one is a child, although they will often remind themselves to be filial to their parents, ultimately they don't worry about their parents as much as parents worry about their children.

  "It's official, Director Dai announced it himself at the meeting in the bureau, I'm now a formal civil servant of the state and I'm also specifically in charge of a project team." Yang Bin reported the good news to his father.

  "Really? That... is great! You're not kidding me, are you?" His father's voice was incredibly excited.

  "Why would I lie to you? It's true, this afternoon I'm going to the job market to recruit two subordinates." Yang Bin continued to tell his father.

  "And there are subordinates too? Then isn't our Bin becoming an official? I said so... Bin will definitely be able to enter the system and become a big official sooner or later!" Father was excited to the point of being incoherent.

  "The farting official is just a small clerk with two temporary workers under him." Yang Bin self-mocked.

  "As long as you're in charge of people, that's being an official." Yang's father's theory was simple, and after saying this sentence, he began to educate Yang Bin... What just entered the system, first learn to be a grandson, and then can become a father; must be quick-witted and proactive in grabbing work to do; towards leaders, must observe words and expressions, often flatter, and don't speak randomly.

  Yang Bin felt a bit annoyed when he heard his father's words... His father had always been cautious and careful, but why did he only become an ordinary teacher at the county middle school? With that little experience, he came to teach his son?

  Perhaps sensing the impatience in Yang Bin's tone, his father reminded him a few more times before hanging up the phone, he still had to go tell his mother the good news.

  Yang's father and Yang's mother were teaching in the same school, with their offices next to each other. After putting down the phone, Yang's father went to the neighboring office to find Yang's mother, called her out, and told her about Yang Bin being transferred into the system, both husband and wife were extremely excited.

  "Teacher Jin, this matter is all thanks to your student Meng Renkuan who works at the Municipal Cultural Bureau. You should quickly give him a call to express your gratitude. Don't let him think that we've forgotten his kindness now that things have been settled. After all, Xiaobin will still need to rely on him for help in the future." Yang's father reminded Yang's mother amidst his excitement.

  Yang's mother's surname was Jin, and Yang's father always called her Teacher Jin.

  "Ah, I'll just give Director Meng a call, I'm so happy that I almost forgot." Yang's mother quickly took the mobile phone from Yang's father and dialed the number of her student Meng Renkuan at the Municipal Cultural Bureau.

  The phone was soon connected, and before Meng Renkuan could speak, Yang's mother repeatedly expressed her gratitude to him... thanking him for helping Yang Bin in the China Merchants Bureau, finally allowing Yang Bin to be transferred to a formal establishment.

  After Meng Renkuan received the call from Yang's mother, he was initially puzzled, but later understood what was going on... He had accepted tens of thousands of yuan from the Yang family, claiming that he would use his connections at the Commerce Bureau to help Yang Bin get a permanent position. But in reality, he hadn't done anything, and all the money had been spent on his mistress's household expenses. Unexpectedly, Yang Bin had managed to get a permanent position on his own.

  After Meng Renkuan figured out what was going on, he immediately got together with Yang Mu and said that this matter was not easy to settle. In the end, he suggested to Yang Mu that if she wanted Yang Bin's job at the China Merchants Bureau to be stable, he would have to go through the back door again with a few leaders of the China Merchants Bureau; otherwise, as a student who had just graduated for one year, Yang Bin might not last a few days.

  Yang's mother asked Meng Renkuan how much money was needed to get things done this time, and Meng Renkuan quoted a figure of 30,000 yuan. He said that if the Yang family couldn't raise that much money for the time being, he would first advance a few thousand yuan himself and make a verbal arrangement with his acquaintances at the China Merchants Bureau. However, in that case, others might not take care of Yang Bin as well.

  Yang's mother hastily stopped Meng Renkuan and said that this money could not be given to him under any circumstances. She then told Meng Renkuan that she would raise 30,000 yuan within two or three days and have it sent to him, repeatedly expressing her gratitude to him.

  After hanging up Meng Renkuan's phone, the couple fell into a state of anxiety. For their daughter who was studying in medical school, tuition fees, living expenses, and Yang Bin's work, they had emptied their home early and borrowed a lot of money from relatives, where would they come up with 30,000 yuan?

  "Xiao Bin's matter can't be delayed, and it's likely that he'll need money for promotions in the future. Why don't we sell the house? We can get a few hundred thousand yuan from it. At worst, you and I will have to squeeze into dormitories at school in the future. Let's suffer a bit now, and as long as Xiao Bin becomes successful and gets a high-ranking official position, he'll be able to earn back all the money." Yang Father and Yang Mother discussed this among themselves.
