CHAPTER 632: CHAPTER 632: WHO KNOWS WHERE THEY GOT THE COURAGE
Being promoted was thanks to the influence of those two.
If it weren’t for the information provided by He Jinxuan on that last case, and the introduction to cooperate with the Zeng Family, it probably wouldn’t have been my turn, after all, I’m not the only deputy director.
Moreover, the Zeng Family, likely considering the good relationship between their granddaughter and my sister-in-law, lent a helping hand; this favor, I naturally have to remember.
Xinyan went to her mentor and called Jinxuan immediately: "Hello, Jinxuan."
"Yanyan, why are you calling at this hour?"
"Something came up today, I didn’t have classes this afternoon, so I came to the mentor’s place early."
"Did something happen? Are you okay?"
"Don’t worry, it’s not me. A classmate fell down the stairs, and I just lent a hand."
He was worried that Xinyan would hide things from him out of concern: "You’re not lying to me, are you?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Besides, if something had happened, I wouldn’t be calling you now."
"As long as you’re okay, make sure to notify me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, don’t worry; if something really happened, I would have sought you out long ago. By the way, I ran into Brother Qin on my way here. He said he wants to invite us over to his home and mentioned he talked to you before."
"Yes, when my sister-in-law was following the army, we often disturbed him. After returning to the Capital, we’ve been too busy to visit. See when you’re free, and we can go visit and get acquainted."
After saying that, he added in a low voice, "There are also some things I’ll talk to you about in detail when we meet."
Xinyan understood, looks like the invitation wasn’t just about meeting people: "Okay, you decide, just let me know in advance."
The two of them chatted for a while and were about to hang up when He Jinxuan suddenly remembered something important: "Yanyan, be careful these days. The niece of the Lu Family has been blocking my way, but I’ve been avoiding her. She hasn’t seen me yet, I worry she might come looking for you in desperation."
Regarding Geng Lihua’s previous intentions, He Jinxuan had already come clean to her, so Xinyan understood immediately: "Okay, I got it."
They exchanged a few more words before ending the call.
At this time, Mr. Du came out from inside: "If you’re done with the call, get to studying quickly, and read the notes on the desk. I will quiz you later."
Xinyan rubbed her nose and stuck her tongue out at her mentor’s wife who walked out from behind, then replied, "Okay, right away."
Ever since the third apprentice Shen Guqing’s divorce, He Jinxuan was also implicated. Because of this, Mr. Du really got an earful from his wife.
Xinyan had just entered the study when Cheng Liying brought in a pot of tea and a plate of pastries: "Don’t mind your mentor; he’s been upset these past few days."
Xinyan looked up at her mentor’s wife: "What happened?"
The mentor’s wife sighed: "It’s still about Meng Yifei. Even after the divorce, he’s been pestering your elder sister, and your mentor happened to catch him."
Hearing this, Xinyan said, "Meng Yifei still dares to pester my elder sister?"
The mentor’s wife glanced outside and spoke quietly: "Meng Yifei’s issues were reported to his superior department by someone who had it out for him, adding pressure from various parties, which resulted in him being reassigned at work.
He kept his job, but climbing higher from now on will be difficult unless he encounters a significant opportunity.
I suspect his mother may have said something to him, which prompted him to come and try to reconcile with your elder sister. Really, what a well-thought plan they had, but who gave them the courage?"
