Age: My Small World

After thinking it over, he realized that almost none of his subordinates could complete the task, so he couldn't help but think of Yang Jun.

Yang Jun has not been employed for three years. This not only represents the current peaceful development, but also Zhu Yong's reason for not wanting him to be too deeply involved.

Ultimately, although he became a formal employee of the office, his main work was still with the museum, and the office had no reason to force him to do so.

The peaceful years he has enjoyed were deliberately created for him by Zhu Yong, as a way of making up for all the contributions he has made.

But now, it seems he has no choice but to ask him for help again.

His tangled fingers tapped on the table, and the tapping only stopped abruptly after a full cup of tea had passed.

the other side.

Sun Buyong and Wei Ye, who had long been demoted to lower-level positions, have been working on farms for the past few years. The positions that Yang Jun couldn't get became their options.

However, if they really had to choose, the two of them would naturally prefer to stay at the office, as they had long been accustomed to life there.

When they arrived at the farm, the two of them were not used to it at first, not to mention that it was far from home. But over time, they got used to it and are now quite used to it.

On this day, while the two were working on the farm, they suddenly received a call from Zhu Yong.

The farm has a telephone, but very few people can call directly here; Zhu Yong was clearly looking for someone.

Upon hearing Zhu Yong's voice, Sun Buyong, dressed in work clothes, could hardly believe it.

"director?"

Zhu Yong simply said, "Sun Yong and Wei Ye will return to the team starting today."

"Received!" Sun instinctively straightened up.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to run to find Wei Ye.

Wei Ye never expected that she would be put to use one day. Upon receiving the news, she immediately left her clothes behind and dragged Sun Yongbu to the office.

The two of them cycled more than ten kilometers from the farm to the office, but it only took them half an hour to get back.

"director!"

In the office, Zhu Yong saw that the two of them hadn't even changed their clothes before arriving, and nodded with a hint of relief.

The two noticed his gray hair and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental; even the director was getting old.

"Did you two really think I abandoned you? That's why I left you on the farm and never came back?"

"No, we wouldn't dare!" both of them answered at the same time.

Sun's eyes flickered slightly, but he couldn't help asking, "Then why do you insist that we stay at the farm for so long, Director? We've been thinking about coming back for the past few years."

Zhu Yong couldn't help but sigh.

“If you’re always in the office, you might sometimes find yourselves unable to control your own lives, and I won’t be able to look after you then.”

He shook his head.

In the years when the situation changed the most, he, as the director of the office, was not even able to fully control the office's voice, and some of the elites had even lost control of the office.

That's why he made the decisive move to send some promising talents to lower-level units. Besides hiding their talents, it was also to protect them and prevent them from being exploited. After all, he knew exactly where these people were being used.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou intervened and stabilized the office again, which only took a month or two.

This incident conveniently provided him with an excuse and reason to transfer the person back.

"Take a look first; this is your first task after returning."

Zhu Yong handed a document to the two men, gesturing for them to sit down and read it at their leisure.

Sun couldn't wait to open it and start reading. After a short while, his eyes widened and he swallowed hard.

"Director, are you sure the two of us can complete this task?" It wasn't that Sun was giving up, but rather that he was genuinely stunned by the task before him.

The task wasn't too complicated: go to Gezhou and find the most suitable location for a massive water conservancy project to be built there. However, the preliminary investigation was crucial.

They were naturally not the main force of the team, but only the deputy members of the expedition team. The experts were the ones who actually carried out the expedition.

The mission included instructions that someone might attack the experts at any time, and their task was to protect the experts' lives.

But who the enemy is, they have no idea.

This kind of preventative task is something Sun is always very bad at; in fact, he is better suited to tackling tough problems.

Moreover, this time the enemy seems to have been marked, which makes Sun feel a bit uneasy.

"Don't worry, I'm not entirely at ease with the two of you either. This mission has to be done perfectly, and there can't be any mistakes. So, I've found you a team leader."

"Wait, shouldn't I be the captain?" Sun Buyong was stunned for a moment. How did he suddenly get demoted again?

Wei Ye, however, had already realized what was happening and his eyes lit up as he asked, "Director, you mean Comrade Yang Jun?"

Zhu Yong chuckled: "Exactly."

"This time, I will have Yang Jun bring the two of you into the expedition team. You will mainly assist Yang Jun in his work."

"Wow, so it's a collaboration with Yang Jun. Then I'm all set."

Sun's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that his first task upon returning would be to be with Yang Jun. The implication was quite good.

He always felt that Yang Jun had an air of certain success, and following him meant always getting credit for his work.

"Director, let's keep it the same as before. I'll go see him."

"Okay, have him come to the office."

So, when Yang Jun wanted to return from Huyang Village that night, Sun Buyong blocked his door again.

"Old Sun?"

The sight of Sun Yongbu's face still left Yang Jun somewhat dazed.

"Comrade Yang Jun, the director wants to see you."

The three hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to say, but they couldn't delay their mission.

Yang Jun took a deep breath, knowing that any task assigned to him would be difficult.

So he nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and say goodbye."

Saying goodbye to Gu Nanke was easy, but Xiaoyuer and the other two girls would probably have to write letters.

To his surprise, this mission did not involve an immediate departure.

He chatted with Sun Buyong and Wei Ye about their lives over the past few years, and he was quite surprised to learn that the two had just returned from the farm.

It wasn't until I got to the office and saw Zhu Yong that I realized how quickly time had passed.

"Director, your hair is getting all white."

Yang Jun shook his head and handed him a jar of honey.

"As you know, I am a doctor. Drinking honey water will definitely make you feel energetic."

"Heh, you're trying to bribe your boss as soon as you get back, aren't you?"

Zhu Yong was joking, of course. How much could this honey be worth? It was just that Yang Jun couldn't stand seeing Old Zhu like this.

"No way. You can take your tea with you later; it'll be an equal exchange." Yang Jun shrugged, his words leaving Zhu Yong speechless. (End of Chapter)
