You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

Lin Wanqing glanced at Director Zhang speechlessly.

With those dark circles under my eyes, how can my complexion look good?

But she was too lazy to expose her, so she nodded slightly and continued walking inside.

"Oh, Minister Lin is here!"

Aunt Li was carrying a mop as she walked down the corridor. As soon as she saw Lin Wanqing, she put down what she was doing and rushed over to greet her. She looked Lin Wanqing up and down, and her face immediately filled with a look of heartache.

"Oh my goodness, Minister Lin, why are your eyes so dark? Did you work late last night?"

"Look at you, you've only just taken office and you're already working so hard! Our cleaning department is truly blessed to have a leader like you!"

As she spoke, she pulled a small plastic bag from her pocket, containing a few red dates and a handful of goji berries, and insisted on stuffing it into Lin Wanqing's hand.

"These are jujubes, a specialty of my hometown. They're great for replenishing qi and blood, much more effective than any health supplement! Take some home, soak them in water, and I guarantee you'll feel refreshed in just two days!"

Before Lin Wanqing could refuse, Aunt Wang came over, holding a thermos cup. The lid was unscrewed, and the aroma of brown sugar ginger tea wafted out.

"Minister Lin, this is some brown sugar ginger tea I just brewed. I specially added dates and longan. Please have a couple of sips to warm your stomach!"

"Women, you have to treat yourselves better. Don't take your youth for granted and overwork your bodies!"

At the other end of the corridor, Xiao Liu from the administration department suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a Starbucks latte in his hand and smiling obsequiously.

"Minister Lin, this is a coffee for you, less ice and half sugar, to perk you up!"

Lin Wanqing's hands were stuffed with red dates and goji berries, and in front of her were brown sugar ginger tea and Starbucks. For a moment, she didn't know which one to accept first.

She suddenly realized that when she was just a nobody in the marketing department, no one would even ask her anything when she had a cold and fever and was lying on her desk.

Now, all she has are dark circles under her eyes, and people are stuffing her with dates, ginger tea, and coffee.

The power of this authority is no joke.

She was just thinking about how to say something polite when she saw a figure strolling over from the end of the corridor with his hands behind his back.

Director Zhang and Aunt Li immediately stepped aside, their faces simultaneously adopting even more respectful expressions.

It's Manager Wang from the Cleaning Department.

Minister Wang walked up to her with his hands behind his back, pushed up his reading glasses, carefully examined her face, and immediately frowned.

"Wanqing, you don't look well."

His tone carried a hint of elder's concern for a younger generation, completely different from the businesslike tone he used when announcing the appointment yesterday. It sounded more like an uncle showing concern for his niece.

"Is it because you just took office yesterday and the workload is too heavy, and your body can't handle it? It's good that young people are energetic, but don't push yourself too hard."

He paused, then waved his hand dismissively, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Alright then, don't stay in the office today, go back and get some rest."

"It just so happens that tomorrow and the day after are the weekend, so I have three days to properly relax and recharge."

Lin Wanqing was taken aback for a moment: "Minister, I've only just taken office, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

"What's wrong with it!"

Minister Wang put on a stern face, looking like there was no room for negotiation. "Health is the foundation of everything! You're the deputy minister of the cleaning department now. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will do all this work? Listen to me, go back and rest! That's an order!"

Having said all that, Lin Wanqing felt that it would be inconsiderate of her to refuse again.

She nodded readily, her face showing just the right amount of gratitude: "Then I'll do as the minister says, thank you."

As she walked out of the Jingzhou Department Store, she glanced back at the building that was gleaming in the morning light and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Previously, when I was in the marketing department, even taking half a day off required considering Sister Zhang's mood, filling out a leave slip, going through procedures, and seeing if my direct supervisor would approve it.

Now, things have taken a turn for the better. The minister has given her a three-day leave.

She finally understood the old saying: "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

She hasn't even ascended to heaven yet; she's only a minor deputy head of the cleaning department, and she's already enjoying this kind of treatment.

Thinking of this, she remembered the class reunion tonight.

She was initially a little apprehensive.

That day, Zhao Yan saw me in the restroom. She took a picture and posted it in the class group chat, saying things like "trial period" and "cleaning toilets" in a sarcastic way. The people in the group congratulated me on the surface, but who knows what they were gossiping about behind my back.

The lie she told about "trial period" wasn't very clever.

If Zhao Yan really finds out something and exposes her in front of everyone tonight, the scene will be very ugly.

But now—

Lin Wanqing is the actual deputy head of the cleaning department.

Deputy section chief level.

What is she afraid of?

She has nothing to fear!

Not only is she not afraid, she will also wear her prettiest dress and the highest heels, walk into that private room with her head held high, and let that bitch Zhao Yan have a good look!

You used to make fun of me in the bathroom, now I'll make sure you can't laugh anymore.

……

Back home, Lin Wanqing changed into slippers, threw her bag on the sofa, and headed straight for the bedroom.

As expected, Gao Lan was lying across the sofa again, her two long, white legs swinging back and forth on the armrests, while she held up her phone and scrolled through short videos.

Hearing the door open, she didn't even look up: "Huh, why are you back again? Didn't you just leave?"

"The minister gave me three days off."

Lin Wanqing's tone carried a hint of smugness.

"What?"

Gao Lan sat up abruptly, her phone falling into the sofa cushions.

"Has your minister lost his mind? You've only been in office for two days and you're giving him three days off?"

He said I didn't look well and told me to go home and rest.

Gao Lan froze for three seconds, then let out a mournful wail: "My God! What kind of heavenly job is this! You get a vacation right after being promoted, and your salary is doubled!"

"If I'd known state-owned enterprises were this easy to get by, I would have studied hard and taken the civil service exam back then!"

Lin Wanqing smiled and ignored her, walking straight into the bedroom and falling asleep immediately.

I'm so sleepy.

She stayed up late last night looking at study materials, and those images kept swirling in her mind all night; she barely slept.

I slept so soundly and deeply that I didn't even dream.

When she opened her eyes again, the light coming through the gap in the curtains was no longer the bright white of the morning, but rather a warm yellow tinged with the unique warmth of the afternoon.

Lin Wanqing rolled over, lazily pulled her phone out from under her pillow, and intended to check the time.

But as soon as the screen lit up, her pupils contracted sharply.

A single unread WeChat message was prominently displayed on the screen.

The content consists of only one word—

【Come】

The sender's note consisted of two words—

Shen Wang.

The message was sent... half an hour ago.

boom!

Lin Wanqing was jolted out of bed as if she had been electrocuted. Her drowsiness vanished instantly, and her heart pounded wildly, almost jumping out of her throat.

It's over. It's over.

Half an hour!

When the master summoned her, she actually made him wait for a full half hour!
