Three-pronged approach!
“But... to be safe, if you have any channels on your end, you can also report it…”
“Just now I heard Teacher Jia say that you’re taking leave to go back to the capital? How about this… I’ll approve your leave…”
As he spoke, Director Wang found a letter of introduction from his drawer and began to fill it out. Before long, a letter of introduction was written, and he then stamped it and handed it to Zhao Dongchuan.
“Zhao… take this first… if you feel it’s necessary to go back, then go back…”
Zhao Dongchuan took the letter of introduction and thanked him.
Then he left the office with Teacher Jia… “Zhao, don’t worry… this matter will definitely be resolved properly…”
Jia Bing comforted him.
“It’s nothing… Teacher Jia, you don’t need to worry about me… Oh, by the way, I heard Sister-in-law Shufen is pregnant again?”
At this, Jia Bing’s face lit up with joy, and he nodded happily: “Yes, she had a check-up a while ago… pregnant again… I didn’t expect it… either none, or they come one after another…”
“By the way, what’s your situation?”
“Not yet… I still want to have fun for a few more years…”
“Hahaha, you young people… I just don’t understand…”
... Zhao Dongchuan returned home after work. Runye had already returned and was watching TV on the sofa.
“Dongchuan, you’re back!”
When Runye saw Zhao Dongchuan return, she stood up and walked over, giving him a big hug.
After his nurturing during this period, Tian Runye’s complexion was rosy, exuding a natural charm and radiating the allure of mature youth.
“Oh… what are you doing…”
Runye patted Zhao Dongchuan’s mischievous hands and said.
“Hehe… a reflex, a reflex…”
He chuckled, withdrew his hands, and pulled Runye back to sit on the sofa.
“Runye, there’s something I need to tell you…”
“What is it…”
Looking at Zhao Dongchuan’s gradually serious face, Runye became a little nervous.
“It’s this…”
Zhao Dongchuan then explained the whole situation, including Director Wang calling Old Hei in the provincial capital.
“It can be like this?”
Runye was initially very happy when he told her they had both been admitted to Peking University.
They had discussed it before applying, planning to go to university in the capital together so they could be a loving couple.
For this, Tian Runye had put in tremendous effort and sweat… She never expected it to be directly erased like this… Thinking of this, even someone with a bodhisattva heart like Runye felt angry… “Too hateful… How can they do this…”
“So what do we do now… Do we just wait for news from Old Hei… What if, and I mean what if, Old Hei’s intervention doesn’t work… Wouldn’t we be completely screwed then…”
Tian Runye frowned, speaking seriously.
“How about this, I was thinking about whether to call Second Uncle, explain the situation, and ask him if he has any ideas… We’ll tackle it from two angles…”
“Right… no time to lose, I’ll call Second Uncle now!”
Then the two left the house and headed straight for the public telephone office outside, queuing to make a call… After a period of waiting, it was finally their turn.
Tian Runye picked up the phone and asked the Comrade operator to connect her to the Yuanxi County Revolutionary Committee… “Hello, Comrade, I’m looking for Tian Fujun, Director Tian… I’m Runye…”
“…Hello, Second Uncle…”
Tian Runye lowered her voice and quietly explained the situation.
Tian Fujun’s angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
“What is all this… A top student in the province… just going to be ruined like this? Let Dongchuan take the call!”
Zhao Dongchuan reached out, took the phone from Runye’s hand, and said: “Second Uncle…”
“Dongchuan, I know about this matter. I will report it to the Comrades in the province…”
“Second Uncle, Director Wang has already contacted Old Hei…”
“Old Hei? Hmm… I know, Old Hei is an old-timer in the provincial capital… an old acquaintance of Secretary Wu of the Provincial Party Committee… With him stepping in, this matter shouldn’t be difficult to resolve… I’ll also report this situation to Elder Shi of the Provincial Party Committee…”
“You and Runye don’t worry too much, this matter isn’t difficult to resolve… After all, they were unreasonable first…”
Zhao Dongchuan then chatted with Tian Fujun for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
“Hello Comrade, how much is it?”
Zhao Dongchuan asked the staff member.
“You talked for fourteen minutes and twenty seconds, calculated as fifteen minutes, a total of seventy-five cents!”
After paying, Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle, taking Tian Runye home… Back home, Runye poured Zhao Dongchuan a glass of water and asked: “Now, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
“Not necessarily, if they choose to stall for their own reputation… as long as they stall until the Peking University admissions office staff leave…”
“Ah, they wouldn’t be that shameless, would they…”
“Sigh… I understand their starting point, but their method of doing things is too crude, not caring at all about the opinions of those involved…”
“Then…”
Runye was a little anxious.
“Don’t worry, I plan to tackle this from three angles… I’m preparing to go back to the capital…”
To ensure that he and Runye could return to the capital smoothly… he was going to use his trump card… Runye helped Zhao Dongchuan pack his luggage, watching him reluctantly.
“Are you really going?”
“Yes… To be absolutely sure, I definitely need to go back and get things settled.”
“Then don’t overexert yourself… If it’s not possible, we can stay in this province, or wait for the next intake!”
“Okay! Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly!”
Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.
But he knew in his heart that there wouldn’t be another chance; they were holding their files… no matter which school they went to, they couldn’t bypass that… Zhao Dongchuan arrived at the train station, bought a ticket with his letter of introduction and work credentials… and once again boarded the train to the capital!
Capital, Seismological Bureau!
Wearing his system glasses, Zhao Dongchuan activated his Breath Concealment Technique and Lightness Skill and once again entered the Director’s office!
“Young man… haven’t we met somewhere before?”
“Uh… wait… what are you doing again…”
“Huh… why did I say ‘again’?”
“…”
If the Director had been conscious, he would have definitely said, ‘You bastard, don’t keep pestering only me…’ Half an hour later, Zhao Dongchuan walked on the street… He rubbed his temples, feeling a little disoriented.
This time he didn’t expend much effort… Because of the other party’s sensitive identity, he didn’t dare to issue a command of complete obedience like he did with Huang Laosan.
On one hand, he was afraid of being discovered, and on the other hand, it was because the other party’s resistance was very strong… Last time he had very difficultly “persuaded” the other party.
This time he found everything became easier… Did the Director sense a hint of something amiss?
Or was it because he had helped him achieve great merit last time… so subconsciously he became more cooperative?
Zhao Dongchuan shook his head… and didn’t dwell on it anymore!
With the merit of pre-warning a major earthquake, the Director’s current status was incomparable, directly reaching the highest levels of authority.
With his inquiry… this matter was settled…
