Chapter 679: Chapter 673: Going Home after Finishing Work
Since the day when Chu Molin had a conversation with Jing Xin, he only had time to tell his wife to make her own decisions before being dispatched on a mission. At the same time, he received the promotion from a battalion commander to deputy director,
Now he is sitting on the car back to the research institute with colleagues who completed the mission, thinking about matters while leaning on the back of his seat. There have been too many things happening lately, and he hasn’t had time to deal with them, he wonders how things are going now.
“Commander Jing, do you think Deputy Director Chu and his team have arrived in the Imperial Capital?” asked Ding Xi to Jing Xin.
“It’s been quite some time, they would have certainly arrived by now, perhaps they have even started the class,” Liang Shaohui replied after hearing this.
“Ah, how can Deputy Director Chu just leave like that.” Deng Kai also chimed in.
“Deputy Director Chu’s accomplishments have long merited his promotion, but because he lacks the necessary tenure, he can only take over after completing the educational program.
Let me share some exciting news with you all, Deputy Director Chu will become the deputy director of the Imperial Capital XX Research Institute once his term is complete. If anyone of you wants to join him, you’ll have to work hard and hopefully get selected when he comes down to pick his team.” Jing Xin, after listening to their discussions, dropped this bombshell.
“Commander Jing, is that really true?” As soon as Ding Xi heard this, he exclaimed. The other two also looked expectantly at Jing Xin, but Jing Xin did not say anything more after that.
No matter how much they asked him, he did not respond. He wasn’t jealous of Chu Molin. Jing Xin knows what Chu Molin had sacrificed to reach where he is today. He always took the lead fearlessly, even once shielding him from a bullet. That time, he nearly lost his life.
Jing Xin later heard from other colleagues, doctors had thought Chu Molin was too critical to survive. It was because Qin Xue who didn’t give up that he narrowly escaped death. Now Chu Molin has gone to the Imperial Capital and even recommended Jing Xin for the position of Deputy Director. Chu Molin had done so much for him. If he was not grateful and instead felt jealous, he would not be fit to be a person.
Of course, he didn’t harbor such thoughts. Oddly, instead of being jealous of Chu Molin, Jing Xin felt genuinely happy for him. He also wanted to work hard, hoping to get transferred to the Imperial Capital and work with Chu Molin again.
When the others saw Jing Xin stop talking, they did not continue to ask. Instead, they looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts: strive to secure a place on the team. They all liked working with Chu Molin.
Despite Chu Molin’s cold demeanor, he was sincere towards them. Regardless of the situation, he always put their interests before his own. If they couldn’t follow such a person, then they wouldn’t want to follow anyone else. Of course, Jing Xin was also decent, but they were more familiar with Chu Molin.
After Jing Xin top brought them back to report, without any delay, he went straight back to his quarters. After confirming the absence of anyone, he hurriedly took a quick shower then went off to the county town. He missed his wife and son; and meanwhile in the city, Fang Xiu was facing difficulties.
Fang Xiu stared at the people in front of her, pursing her lips tightly. Her face looked terrible. These people seemed relentless.
“Mrs. Jing, haven’t I already said? Taotao is my child, he doesn’t belong to the Jing family, so he’s not going back.” Fang Xiu really wanted to drive these people out with a broom.
“Fang Xiu, whether you return or not, that’s your business. But the child must return. Not only will the child go back, Jing Xin too will return.” Mrs. Jing looked at her daughter-in-law. She had thought that after leaving the Jing family, she wouldn’t be able to cope. Who knew that not only did she secretly give birth to a child, she was also living very well now.
Not only is she dressed like a rich person, but her fashion sense is also trendy, especially her flawless complexion which makes her envious.
Initially, she assumed that her wild child Jing Xin must have died outside, so she kicked Fang Xiu out of the Jing family. But who would have thought that her luck would be so good. Now, the entire county knows about Chenxi. There are many who want to join Chenxi but can’t. This daughter-in-law, whom she disliked, is living exceptionally well now. How could she not be angry?
