Chapter 209: Chapter 209 You Can Carry the Whole Family on Your Back!_1

In the eyes of the people, there is a notion that is hard to change.

That is, no job is better than a "secure job."

Because it not only guarantees stability regardless of conditions but also carries a sense of prestige!

Just like passing the civil service exam, everyone thinks they set for life.

Even their families take great pride in it.

Not to mention back in 1980.

Therefore, Song Nian, with reddened eyes, expressively shared his determination with Song Yunuan, saying that he would definitely study hard and work diligently in hope of becoming an official.

Song Yunuan then gave him some tips on how to work effectively, how to get along with colleagues, and the secrets of interacting with leaders...

After Song Yunuan and Little Asheng left, Song Nian scratched his head and suddenly felt that his grandniece could actually lift the entire family alone!

Did he really need to struggle to climb up himself?

He then dismissed the thought.

Too shameful, still thinking of relying on his niece?

He straightened his back and thought of the words Little Nuan had just said to him.

He took a deep breath in, and then released it slowly.

Suddenly, he felt as if the sky looked different that day.

Even the environment around him seemed to be more colorful.

What was going on, Song Nian wasn’t sure, but he knew that he felt different too.

After gathering his thoughts, Song Nian went to Factory Manager Duan’s office and repeated to him exactly what Song Yunuan had taught him to say.

Factory Manager Duan indeed beamed with joy as he received the blueprints, lauding praise on Song Yunuan and promising to send her two samples once they were made.

One wouldn’t be enough, it had to be two.

Song Nian felt Factory Manager Duan was being a bit stingy.

But that’s just the way Factory Manager Duan was; how else could he manage the work well and be the master of a factory if not for being frugal?

He was the most frugal factory manager in Nanshan County Town, known for his penny-pinching ways.

Afterward, Song Nian seemed hesitant to speak.

Factory Manager Duan felt displeased, wondering if he had offered too little; after all, he also had several designs for coat hangers, although they weren’t identical, there wasn’t much difference.

This wasn’t like the foldable furniture; there wasn’t much technical content involved, and it wasn’t exclusive either.

Then Factory Manager Duan spoke in a gentle voice to Song Nian, "Speak your mind freely, don’t feel burdened. If it’s within my power to solve, I will definitely help you."

It was then that Song Nian spoke in a hushed tone, "Factory Manager Duan, I just found out from Little Nuan that our application team is leaving for the provincial city tomorrow morning.

It’s to report on our Staff and Cadre College, saying that all the preparatory work has been done. I sense from Little Nuan that we have a good chance of success, and Little Nuan will be accompanying them. I was thinking, if the college is indeed established, they’ll need desks and chairs, and since our town only has one large furniture factory, they will certainly turn to you, Factory Manager Duan."

Factory Manager Duan’s eyes widened with surprise, never expecting Song Nian to be speaking about this matter.

He truly had no idea that they were heading to the provincial city tomorrow.

Could this be a secret?

He told Song Nian, "I haven’t received a meeting notice, nor have I heard any related information; it must definitely be confidential. Rest assured, I won’t tell anyone."

Song Nian awkwardly said, "I thought about it again and again. You’ve been so good to me, Factory Manager Duan, and I know your character. Once I knew about it, I definitely had to tell you. Anyway, I am going back to work."

After finishing, Song Nian quickly left.

Factory Manager Duan nodded in satisfaction. Well, it seemed Song Nian was really looking out for him.

And Little Nuan, she must have used the opportunity of delivering the blueprints to have Song Nian inform him intentionally.

The young girl was clever and quick-witted; her future would surely be bright.

Factory Manager Duan decided that he would give Little Nuan a study desk later on.

Afterward, he started to ponder.

Why hadn’t there been a meeting notification from the county?

So Factory Manager Duan went to find Deputy County Mayor Zhao who was in charge of this matter, and told him directly that if the school application was successful, their timber factory would provide desks and chairs at cost price.

Deputy County Mayor Zhao was very pleased, "I will include your proposal in our application form so that the higher-ups can see our sincerity. Once the school has desks and chairs, the only thing left is the establishment of the school itself."

Factory Manager Duan wanted to say that without teachers, the school would just be an empty shell.

And with the standard of our Nanshan County Town, could we even find suitable teachers to serve at this school?

But he didn’t want to dampen Deputy County Mayor Zhao’s enthusiasm; after all, he had come here to clearly express his attitude.

This was much better than the county assigning him to carry out the task reluctantly.

These days, work is just like that; there is a world of difference between being passive and being proactive.

As night fell, the five people who had finished getting their wounds treated at the hospital returned to the county town guesthouse.

They had arrived full of bravado, but now they were utterly dejected.

The whole way back, the five of them hardly spoke; their complexions were terrible.

They wanted to go back, but the photos were clenched in Song Yunuan’s hands.

If she really spread those around, they would lose all face.

Not to mention, their parents would break their legs.

After an examination, it turned out to be superficial injuries.

Then the nurses applied medicine and bandaged them up simply.

The young girl might have been strong, but she hadn’t been ruthless.

Qin Wang suggested, "How about we buy some gifts and go apologize to the Song family tomorrow?"

Xia Zhi suddenly widened his eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? She beat us up like that, and we are going to apologize to her? Is there any reason in that? Are you talking nonsense or have you been hit silly?"

Qin Wang furrowed his brow, no longer indulging Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, have you not grasped the situation yet?

Song Yunuan must have already called your father. Don’t think that just because your dad hasn’t called you, everything is fine.

Moreover, you shouldn’t have kept us in the dark; this is not at all what you described it to be.

And this is not simply a domestic affair.

To put it more seriously, it even involves illegal and criminal activities.

Look at Song Yunuan; does she seem like an easy target to you?

Her uncle was sentenced to thirty years, and he must be around thirty-five years old now.

Unless he has become stupid and forgotten everything, how could he not seek revenge?

How could this possibly just be a simple family matter?"

Xia Liying’s face turned ugly, "But that doesn’t mean we should go apologize to her at her home, how humiliating that would be!"

Qin Wang thought to himself, aren’t the things your mother did humiliating?

Utterly despicable, shameless, cruel, and vicious.

But why don’t you say that?

It seems people are all the same.

One thing Qin Wang was very clear about was that if he continued to get involved, no matter who won or lost in the Xia family, he would definitely not end well.

So Qin Wang softened his voice, "We still have to stay here for a few more days; let’s all think it over properly.

After all, it is our fault to go after a young girl without knowing the full story.

After understanding the truth, why shouldn’t we apologize to her?"

Xia Liying’s eyes turned red, and tears began to fall, "So, Qin Wang, are you blaming me?"
