Transmigrated as the Evil Stepmother, I Bully the Whole Family, Yay! Chapter 173
Han Yongxiang had always rembered the kindness shown by his sister-in-law and wrote ho about it. His father also insisted that he must repay this debt of gratitude when the opportunity arose.
To his surprise, Nan Sheng declined, "No need. I already have leads on a job, and the military district will arrange sothing for as well."
Han Yongxiang thought she was just being polite. "Sis, I’m serious. My old man has so connections—getting you a job wouldn’t be a problem."
Seeing that he wouldn’t let it go without a clear explanation, Nan Sheng had no choice but to drop a hint.
She lowered her voice, "Tomorrow, I’m going to the city. The disciplinary committee leadership wants to speak with ."
At this, Han Yongxiang fell silent, then gave her a thumbs-up. Even if his father stepped in, he couldn’t have gotten Nan Sheng into the disciplinary committee.
Sister-in-law truly was sister-in-law—always moving from one prestigious departnt to an even more illustrious one.
The three young n then exchanged glances before turning their eyes to Lin Han, as if to say, Bro, how did you get so lucky?
Their reaction wasn’t exaggerated. The core work of the disciplinary committee focused on intra-party supervision, discipline enforcent, and accountability. Now that it had taken over much of the revolutionary committee’s authority, even governnt employees rarely qualified for transfer into this departnt.
Those who worked in the disciplinary committee were all individuals of impeccable integrity and decisive action. Even fellow party mbers would start reflecting on their recent conduct if the committee so much as glanced their way.
Lin Han shot them a look. "What are you staring at? If you’re not convinced, let’s go for extra drills!"
Nan Sheng sat with them for a while before returning to her room. There was no need for her to handle the cleanup outside anyway.
Lately, she had been burning with curiosity, asking her system daily, "Has the favorability rating still not reached 100?"
What’s missing for that last point?
Sotis, she even wanted to ask her son directly, What exactly about dissatisfies you? But she worried it might scare him.
The system, now a seasoned liar, answered smoothly without a hint of guilt, "No, it hasn’t."
In truth, it had already decided—it wouldn’t leave until Nan Sheng did. Not a second earlier!
By nine in the evening, the drinking session wrapped up. With training scheduled for the next day, no one dared overindulge.
On the way back to the barracks, Luo Hao slung an arm over Han Yongxiang’s shoulder. "Bro, you knew sister-in-law before this?"
He was a little envious that Han Yongxiang had been so eager to help her find a job.
Luo Hao had initially found it surreal when he heard the regint commander’s wife worked for the revolutionary committee. In his mind, committee mbers were all fierce and intimidating. Before coming for dinner, he’d even wondered if sister-in-law might look like a tigress—explaining why Lin Han trained the troops so rcilessly.
But after eting her, his impression of Nan Sheng completely changed. She was perfect—polite, an excellent cook, and clearly well-educated and refined.
He couldn’t help but hope he’d find a wife like her soday.
Han Yongxiang didn’t elaborate, only saying that Nan Sheng had once helped him and he owed her a favor.
"Wonder if sister-in-law has a younger sister. If she does, I’d marry her in a heartbeat!"
"Dream on," Han Yongxiang elbowed Luo Hao in the ribs. "What if she only has a younger brother? You’d marry him too?"
That said, if there was a sister, Han Yongxiang would certainly compete for her hand.
Luo Hao rubbed his chin. "That’d work too. Then I could co over for als at sister-in-law’s place every day."
Han Yongxiang shoved him away in mock disgust. This guy’s really desperate.
Luo Hao kept teasing him. "You’re not bad-looking yourself. Maybe we should just make do with each other?"
Nearby, Little Hou watched their antics, amused, making the journey back feel much livelier.
The next day, Nan Sheng didn’t go to the town governnt. Instead, she took a bus straight to the county seat, then transferred to another for the city.
Before leaving, she had told her family she wouldn’t be back that night, instructing Lin Han to return early to take care of the kids.
The trip to the city was bumpy, and it was already 2:30 p.m. by the ti she arrived. The bus made frequent stops, dragging out the journey.
At the municipal governnt building, Nan Sheng followed procedure and signed in. "My na is Nan Sheng. The disciplinary committee director asked to see ."
The staff mber handling registrations was the sa as before, but the mont he heard she was there to et the disciplinary committee director, his attitude did a complete 180. His service beca impeccably courteous.
"Comrade Nan, I’ll handle the rest of the registration. The disciplinary committee office is on the third floor—don’t let delay your work!"
Nan Sheng thanked him and headed upstairs. The entire floor belonged to the disciplinary committee, and the atmosphere was one of intense activity—everyone seed to be half-jogging to keep up with their tasks.
No surprise there. They’re busy cleaning up after the revolutionary committee.
With no signs on the office doors, Nan Sheng had no idea where Director Jin’s office was. She stopped a passing colleague to ask.
"Excuse , could you tell where Director Jin’s office is?"
"You’re looking for Director Jin? Hold on, let check for you!"
Nan Sheng stood there, puzzled. I didn’t even give my na yet.
She followed the colleague deeper into the floor, stopping outside the third-to-last office on the left. She already had a good idea where it was, but protocol mattered.
"Director Jin, there’s a female comrade here to see you. Do you have ti?"
Given the disciplinary committee’s unique role—upholding party discipline, inspecting policy implentation, advancing anti-corruption efforts—every visitor had to be received.
Jin Xuwu checked the ti and guessed it must be Nan Sheng. He instructed his assistant, who had accompanied him to Sanwei Town last ti, to check.
"If it’s Director Nan, bring her in right away!"
Soon, Nan Sheng was ushered into the office by Director Jin’s assistant. Despite the disciplinary committee’s rising influence, Jin Xuwu remained as courteous as ever, without a trace of arrogance.
"Thank you for making the trip, Director Nan. So matters are better discussed face-to-face than over the phone."
Nan Sheng smiled. "Of course."
Her calm, unhurried deanor suggested she wasn’t overly concerned about her current situation, which only deepened Jin Xuwu’s approval.
"Before visiting Sanwei Town, I looked into your background. Your outstanding contributions in Huaishan Town were well-docunted. It’s clear you’re a comrade with great compassion."
Further investigations into Nan Sheng’s tenure as head of the revolutionary committee only reinforced his assessnt: she was upright, kind, courageous, and resourceful.
The fact that she had single-handedly stood against the entire county’s revolutionary committee was precisely why Jin Xuwu wanted her on his team.
Nan Sheng remained modest. "You flatter , Director Jin. I only did what was expected. Besides, without that opportunity, I wouldn’t have entered governnt service in the first place."
The assistant tapped his watch discreetly, reminding Jin Xuwu of an upcoming eting. Ti was short.
"Your efforts were instruntal in the revolutionary committee’s investigation. I’d like to offer you a position leading the disciplinary inspection work in Qingjiang County. Would you be interested?"
After Nan Sheng nodded in agreent, Director Jin assigned her first task: to eliminate the remnants of the revolutionary committee's influence in Qingjiang County within a month.
However, since she had just been transferred to the disciplinary committee and lacked seniority, she needed a transitional period. Her current position was Deputy Director of the Qingjiang County Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Once she completed the mission, the "deputy" title could be removed!
