Chapter 1412: Call Me Child-Giving Guanyin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, a bus was stopped outside the airport.

In addition to the driver, there were two men sitting in the bus.

One of them looked to be in his fifties. There was not much hair left on his head.

The other one was slightly younger, in his twenties. He held a cigarette in his hand and glanced at the airport entrance from time to time.

The middle-aged man’s name was Du Yuming. He was Wang Yunjiang’s classmate back then.

He was the director of the soil structure department at Bingcheng Agricultural Research Institute.

This time, Wang Yunjiang had contacted him when he came to the northeast to study.

He hoped that he could receive them here and help them arrange the necessary matters.

The young man’s name was Tan Songming. He was a staff member in the office and Du Yuming’s subordinate.

“It’s already so late, why isn’t he out yet?”

“Let’s wait a little longer. It should be about time,” Du Yuming looked at his watch and said, his expression a little impatient.

“Boss, have you thought of what to do when they arrive?”

“What the hell are you thinking about? I’m so annoyed.”

Du Yuming scolded, “I was already busy during this period of time, and now you’ve arranged such lousy tasks for me. Do you think 1 have time for stuff like this?”

“But since he’s already here, we have to make some arrangements.”

“We can give them some hints when the time comes,” Du Yuming said.

“I don’t know what he’s thinking. If he had arranged for a group of college students to come, it might have been somewhat useful. But he brought a bunch of farmers. What do they know? It’s all for his own political achievements. He’s willing to do anything.”

“Boss, if you didn’t want to take over this mess, you should have rejected it back then. There wouldn’t have been so much trouble,” Tan Songming said.

“You’re still young. You don’t understand the ways of the world.” Du Yuming said.

“No matter what, that classmate of mine is the head of the county. Although we’re a little far apart, we might use this connection sometime in the future, so I can’t let it die just like that.”

“Leader, you have foresight. I’m not good at this.”

“You’re still young. Learn more in the future.”

“Got it, Boss.”

A few minutes later, Tan Songming looked out the window.

“Leader, their people seem to have come out. There’s a woman among them who’s quite good-looking. She’s not short. She’s comparable to our Northeastern ladies.”

“Where is she? Let me see.”

Tan Songming pointed out of the window. “The one wearing a black cotton suit and carrying a red box.”

Du Yuming looked over and his eyes lit up. “She’s indeed not bad.”

“Finally, someone eye-catching,” Tan Songming said with a smile.

“Alright, everyone has come out. We can head on over first.”

Under Du Yuming’s call, the two of them walked out together.

He saw Du Yuming and Tan Songming get out of the bus.

Li Sijin immediately went up to him.

“Are you Director Du?”

“It’s me.” Tan Songming nodded and replied, “You should be Old Wang’s colleagues, right?”

“We’re from Dongsan County’s Office of Poverty Alleviation. Secretary Wang is our boss.”

“Let’s go. It’s cold outside. Let’s talk in the car.”

“Thank you, Director Du. It’s such a cold day, yet you still came to pick us up personally.”

Although she had an honest and naive personality, she had been in the workplace for several years.

Li Sijin was also very familiar with some formalities and official language.

“Old Wang and I are classmates. This is nothing. Hurry up and get on the bus.”

Under Du Yuming’s call, the group got into the car.

Subconsciously, Tan Songming glanced at Li Sijin a few times and suddenly felt his heart palpitate.

“Let’s find a place to stay tonight. We’ll gather at the entrance of the Agricultural Research Institute at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. I’ll arrange the specific learning content tomorrow.”

“I’ll have to trouble you then, Department Director Du.”

After a few simple words, there was no more communication between the two sides.

Li Sijin was not good with words to begin with, but in order to ease the awkwardness in the ride, she took the initiative to find a topic to talk about with Du Yuming.

However, the other party only said a few words to be polite. Li Sijin wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to continue.

On the other hand, Tan Songming was very enthusiastic in front of Li Sijin and answered every question.

However, when the other villagers talked to him and asked about relevant knowledge, he would be much colder. Then, he would once again return his attention to Li Sijin.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was like a nobody, as he was ignored by Du Yuming and Tan Songming.

About an hour later, under Li Sijin’s order, the car stopped by the roadside.

“Director Du, we’ll get off here first,” Li Sijin said. “See you tomorrow.”

Du Yuming looked out of the window and realized that Bingcheng’s economic development area was considered the most prosperous place in Bingcheng.

The price of this place was the highest in the city. Du Yuming did not understand why he would get out of the bus here.

However, he did not ask further as could not wait for them to leave. After this, his mission would be complete and he would be able to leave to play mahjong.

“Driver, open the car door,” Du Yuming said. Then, he looked at Li Sijin and said,

“I’ll see you tomorrow. You know the address of the institute. You can just go there tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After saying goodbye, Lin Yi, Li Sijin, and the others got out of the car one after another. Du Yuming didn’t say anything else.

After everyone got out of the bus, they left.

“Let’s go eat first,” Lin Yi pointed at the Four Seasons Hotel.

“Director Lin, are we eating here today? This should be a five-star hotel, right?”

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. “You don’t get to come out often, so you have to eat and live well when you get the chance.”

“Then we’ll follow Director Lin.”

The hotel was booked before they arrived, so they quickly completed the registration.

However, the people in the hotel did not expect the people who came to check in to be a group of farmers.

After checking in, it was already past seven in the evening. The hotel restaurant was still open, so they went there to eat.

“Brother Lin, 1 realized something.”

During the meal, Li Sijin whispered.

“What is it?”

“Director Du doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. He doesn’t seem very willing to receive us,” Li Sijin said.

“Am 1 being oversensitive, or is that really the case?”

“You didn’t extend him any benefits and just asked him for help. Naturally, he is unwilling. It’s very normal.”

“But if he continues to have this attitude, we won’t be able to carry out our mission well.”

“I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”

Li Chai-Jin chuckled.

“Brother Lin, I feel like you’re a Doraemon. It’s like nothing can stump you. You always have a way to solve every problem.”

“Doraemon is too childish. It’s better to call me Guanyin.”

“All? The child-giving Guanyin is a woman. It’s not appropriate, right?”

“But it suits my temperament.”

“How so?”

“Come to my room tonight. I’ll show you. You’ll see the results in ten months..”
