Chapter 279 Demotion
“You’re right. You’re still young, and you should definitely take advantage of your energy to learn more and improve your skills.”
“You’re right. Gu Hanchuan’s workload is quite heavy. I’m his wife, and we’re both busy with work. Sometimes we inevitably neglect things at home. Actually, we’d like to transfer to a place where we can be taken care of by our relatives, but as you said, we’re still young and we’re all serving the people. No matter where we work, we’ll have no regrets.”
"well said!"
The old man was still very happy.
Although we can't have them guarding us, they are still promising and ambitious, which is a good thing.
Wang Qinya pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Ye Nuan ate her meal and sat there for a while, but not long after, she said she had to take her leave.
"What's the rush? I'll take you for a walk outside in a bit, and you can get to know people."
Wang Qinya was so excited by these words that she could hardly sit still.
Is he going to hand over all his connections to Ye Nuan?
Ye Nuan seemed oblivious to Wang Qinya's expression and laughed, "Grandpa, maybe next time. I came here on a mission this time. And you don't know, the hospital director has been keeping me on duty every day. If I don't go back soon, I bet you'll get a call from here."
Gu Dongfang knew Ye Nuan's abilities, so in the end he didn't keep her any longer and arranged for a driver to take her home.
After just this one meeting, Gu Dongfang felt that Ye Nuan was a good granddaughter-in-law. She had a good temperament and, most importantly, she was capable and competent.
From now on, with the Gu family in Gu Hanchuan's hands, there will be no problems with the household affairs being handled by such a woman.
Gu Dongfang is getting old. Although he may favor his younger son in daily life, he always makes clear distinctions when it comes to important matters.
With the youngest son's muddle-headed nature, his love of playing, and his fear of hardship, how could such a person possibly support a large family?
Although people don't pay much attention to those things now, Gu Dongfang still felt that they shouldn't be spoiled too much.
Wang Qinya was unaware of Gu Dongfang's intentions; she simply wanted all or most of the Gu family's assets, as she couldn't let her son suffer a loss.
But she didn't realize that her favoritism towards her son had fundamentally deprived him of his right to inherit a family business.
Besides, none of Wang Qinya's grandsons are any good.
He even wanted his family to help him find a job, and his attitude of "I'd rather die than go to the countryside" had long displeased his grandfather.
Now that Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan are a couple to compare themselves to, Gu Dongfang looks down on his other grandsons even more.
Ye Nuan was unaware of the Gu family's affairs. After staying there for a few more days with Director Su, and confirming that Comrade Cai Ying was out of danger, they returned to Zhejiang Province together.
As for Cai Ying, he and his family will stay here for a few days, firstly to allow him to fully recover, and secondly because the higher-ups also want to meet with him.
Ye Nuan knew that Cai Ying would likely return to the army after her recovery.
It's just unknown whether his body can ever recover to its previous state.
Ye Nuan and Director Su bought a lot of good things in Beijing, such as famous Beijing pastries. They bought as much as they could, since someone would help them put them on the train.
On the surface, Ye Nuan bought a box of pastries, but in reality, she bought more than three boxes.
I bought a lot of Daoxiangcun's jujube paste cake and butterfly pastry.
This thing is actually not convenient to transport.
In other words, they can carry it with them when they travel by train, so that's not a problem.
But if it's a package, that won't work, as it's easy to break or spoil.
Ye Nuan put most of the snacks into the small wooden house in her space, and only a few in her suitcase outside.
She kept the few kinds of pastries that were afraid of being crushed very well.
As soon as she got home, Ye Nuan put her things down in the house, took a shower, changed her clothes, and lay down on the bed without moving.
No matter how good the conditions are on the train, I can't sleep soundly. It's always better to be at home.
It wasn't until after 5 p.m. that Li Qiang woke her up.
"Don't sleep, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Ye Nuan got up, washed her face, and then held Xiao Liu and played with him for a while.
Little Cannon and Yueyue each received a snack gift box, and were told to keep it safe and make sure it didn't spoil.
In those days, these iron pastry boxes were treasures, and many people were proud to own one.
Although Xiao Gangpao has started working, he is no exception. After all, he is still a child at his age.
After comparing the two, they each went back to their rooms.
When Li Qiang returned to the living room after cooking, she saw three boxes on the coffee table.
"They didn't take it?"
“Take it, one box each. This box is yours, and I’ll send the other two boxes to Aunt Jiang and Aunt Zhao’s houses later.”
"Oh, I have one too!"
"Of course! I kept one box for myself and put it in my bedroom. I didn't take it out."
"Okay, then I'm welcome."
Ye Nuan liked her decisiveness.
Gu Hanchuan returned at dinner time, and Ye Nuan could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind.
After Xiao Gangpao went to clear the dishes, Ye Nuan told Gu Hanchuan to take a shower first. She then comforted the child for a while before returning to her room.
"What happened?"
Gu Hanchuan took a deep breath: "Do you still remember Deng Ruxian?"
Ye Nuan was stunned for a moment. She felt that the name sounded familiar, but she really couldn't remember it.
“Anshi, your master.”
Ye Nuan's eyes widened: "My senior uncle?"
Ye Nuan felt a pang of regret. How could she have forgotten such an important elder?
Yes. It's him.
"He was reported, but fortunately the matter was handled relatively quickly, so he was the only one who was demoted, and his children are not affected for the time being."
Ye Nuan frowned, and after a long while, she said, "Because of my master's matter?"
"It's possible, but I'm not entirely sure. I saw the list of people being sent down by chance, and I estimate they'll be here in two days at most."
"You mean you were assigned here? Who assigned you?"
“I’ve checked. The original location for his transfer was in the south. I took into account his relationship with you, so I changed the location without his permission. However, Deng Ruxian probably doesn’t know your exact work location. We can try it out first.”
Ye Nuan paused for about five or six seconds before she reacted.
"Are you worried that someone might use Deng Ruxian to find my master's whereabouts?"
“That’s possible. I remember you said that your master’s family was persecuted, mainly because of the medical books and prescriptions they had.”
Ye Nuan fell silent. If it was really because of this that she had implicated her master, then she felt even more guilty.
