Lin Langsheng looked at Liu Yan and asked, "Yan, you haven’t neglected Gu Feng’s mother, have you?"
Liu Yan shook her head, "Brother, you and Hai both ca out of the army, and the thing I’m best at after following Hai for so many years is observing others and not offending people. Don’t you trust ?"
Lin Langsheng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, "Then what did you and your mother-in-law talk about?"
"Mostly just household stuff, and then we talked about how the customs and culture of Jiangcheng and Beijing are different," Liu Yan thought for a mont, "But I feel that this mother-in-law is quite concerned about Little Yue’s company, even telling Little Yue that if she needs any help, she can ask her."
Lin Langsheng: "And then?"
Liu Yan: "It seems like she understands how work is allocated in the system, and she even ntioned you, brother. The mother-in-law must have done so research as she was curious why you haven’t helped Little Yue."
At this, Zhao Yanrong beca anxious, "Then you didn’t tell her the specific reasons?"
Liu Yan: "I didn’t."
Lin Langsheng smiled, "That’s right, if your mother-in-law really has the power, she’ll be able to find out the problem on her own."
Liu Yan: "Oh, right, my mother-in-law also said she’d like to invite you guys for a al when she gets back."
"Really?" Lin Langsheng was pleased.
Liu Yan nodded.
"Good, then make sure you give a call, we’ll all be there," Lin Langsheng said excitedly.
Liu Yan, looking at the packet of tea leaves in his hand out of curiosity, asked, "Brother, is there sothing special about this tea? Can you brew a cup to taste?"
Lin Langsheng cleared his throat, "Aren’t there enough teas on the market for you? Nobody is allowed to touch this packet, from now on it’s the treasure of my house."
And what about that pack of cigarettes?
Actually, Lin Langsheng had already torn open the packaging and taken out a box to put into his bag, "Okay, I still have to get busy at the office, make sure you take good care of Feng’s mother, she could be a benefactor to the Lin Family!"
Liu Yan didn’t linger any longer. With this conversation with Lin Langsheng, she had sowhat figured out the background of Gu Feng’s family.
In the future, she would be more mindful when interacting with them.
After Lin Langsheng drove back to his unit,
he went on to have a eting with the Big Housekeeper and others as usual, discussing the developnt and managent of their jurisdiction.
During the eting, he rarely spoke.
Because everything that needed to be said had already been said by the Second Housekeeper.
He didn’t know how long these days had lasted.
To be honest, he was numb to it.
But unexpectedly, little did he know that his niece’s husband would bring him a surprise and hope.
With this thought, even the usually disregarded Lin Langsheng felt the clouds and gloom clear from his heart during the eting.
After the eting, the Big Housekeeper asked Lin Langsheng to wait in his office for a while to make a report on the community work.
While waiting in the office, Lin Langsheng lit up a cigarette for special supply.
As soon as Big Housekeeper Cai Qi entered, he quickly extinguished the cigarette butt.
Then he made his report.
After he finished and left, Cai Qi’s secretary casually started to clean the items on the desk.
When he saw the cigarette butt, he looked at Cai Qi in surprise, "Leader, look at this cigarette."
"What about it?" Cai Qi was reading a docunt report recently issued by the senior officials of the city.
Secretary: "This cigarette looks a lot like the one that Secretary Gu from the city smokes. Secretary Gu smoked here in your office when he inspected last ti, and I was the one who cleaned up."
He examined it carefully.
Then he said confidently, "It’s the sa cigarette. I’m sure of it."
Cai Qi narrowed his eyes and gestured for the secretary to hand it over for a look.
Quickly, his expression changed significantly, "This is the sa brand Secretary Gu smokes."
The secretary was doubtful, "Leader, could the rumors be true? Does Lin Langsheng’s niece’s husband really have a background?"
Cai Qi, silent, seed to be pondering sothing.
————
Lin Langsheng had just left the Big Housekeeper’s office and hadn’t gone far when he heard the secretary calling him from behind.
He stopped and turned around.
The secretary ran up to him with a smile, "Director Lin, it’s my fault, I was careless. The work docunts I gave you earlier were the wrong ones; can you give them back to ? They were actually supposed to be for other departnts."
It’s unknown whether the Second Housekeeper deliberately overworked Lin Langsheng, aware that his end was near, assigning a lot of trivial and tedious tasks to Lin Langsheng.
The Big Housekeeper, not wanting to upset the more dominant Second Housekeeper, turned a blind eye to the Second’s exploitation of Lin Langsheng.
But after seeing that cigarette butt and connecting it to the recent rumors,
The Big Housekeeper gave himself an out.
As Lin Langsheng handed over the work docunts to the secretary, he smiled, "Secretary Zhao, thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all, not at all," Secretary Zhao hurriedly took the docunts of all sizes, his attitude noticeably warr than before.
After he left, Lin Langsheng stood there, smiling.
It was clear that the half-smoked cigarette had taken effect.
No matter whether Gu Feng could help him or not, for now, he had used the influence of the Gu Family to give himself a breather.
With the Big Housekeeper’s care, his work would be much easier from now on.
It was just like he told Liu Yan, not even needing to use the tea, just this pack of cigarettes alone could serve as a business card, having a critical deterrent effect in their sphere of influence.
