A month later.
Yu Xin found her sister, her face beaming with undeniable joy.
"What's wrong?"
"Sis, didn't you say you wanted me to think about what I like and am most interested in? I've made up my mind!"
Unexpectedly, her younger sister was actually seriously considering it, so Yu Lian urged, "Then tell me, what kind of job do you want to do?"
Yu Xin pulled her sister into the living room: "Mom and Dad, I've made up my mind, I want to be a criminal investigation officer!"
Her powerful and determined words silenced the entire family.
"Mom, you're right. Yu Xin really does act on impulse." Yu Lian spoke first—it's not that she doesn't support her sister, but this isn't that easy. Besides, her sister doesn't have a job or anyone to recommend her, and Dad won't pull any strings, so the chances of her going are almost zero.
Yu Xin knew that it was impossible to get in for no reason, and it was also impossible to get her father to put her up there directly, so she found a compromise.
"Dad, please... but don't rush to refuse. I'm not saying you have to go straight to the front lines." Yu Xin knew the chances were slim, so she and her friends devised a brilliant plan from the very beginning. Having thoroughly investigated the internal procedures, they learned she could start as an office worker, and in two or three years, the unit would have an internal performance evaluation system. If she did well, she might be recommended by her original department to the criminal investigation department. She was taking a gamble with that in mind.
"Mom and Dad, please don't doubt your daughter's abilities. I put in a lot of effort when my sister was going through that. At least let me try; it's not like I'm going straight to the battlefield. Dad, please! I have to go!"
Yu Jinbu looked at his wife beside him. Wang Meixia glared at her husband: "You just know how to dump problems on me."
Yu Lian stood aside, thinking it was alright. However, working in this industry inevitably involves dealing with danger, and it's not something that can be done just by being quick-witted; her sister was oversimplifying things.
"Mom and Dad, let her go. I remember there's an evaluation every three years. If she can stick with doing odd jobs in the logistics department, then let her do it."
It was rare for her older sister to speak first and on her side, so Yu Xin pressed her advantage: "Dad! Ask yourself honestly, from childhood to adulthood, besides you being my biological father and naturally responsible for my basic needs, when have I ever used your name to seek any personal gain? Except for a short period when I was a kid and acted like a bully, I've always been obedient and haven't embarrassed you. Please indulge me for a while. Mom, I promise I'll work diligently and won't interfere in anything that's not my business!"
The couple turned around and discussed it.
"Anyway, logistics doesn't involve anything too sensitive, so why not let her give it a try?"
"Okay. But if there are any problems, you have to get her back as soon as possible. She's all talk and no action; she might be up to something behind your back. Have someone keep a close eye on her and don't treat her like royalty."
After the discussion, Yu Xin got the result she wanted and jumped for joy, almost hitting the ceiling. Overjoyed, she couldn't stay home any longer and wanted to go out and share the good news with her best friends.
Just an hour after they left, Erli's mother came knocking, saying that Erli, influenced by Yu Xin, was now making a fuss about wanting to go with her father. Erli's mother wasn't angry, but she felt that the two girls were immature and what if they just had a sudden urge and couldn't stick it out for more than two days before wanting to come back? How would they handle that? As a parent, Miao Ping's concerns were understandable.
"How about this, Mom, Dad, and Aunt, let's give them more time to try and fail. Let's not talk about formal employment yet, let them try for three months. If they can stick it out, then let them go in. If they regret it before three months are up, they can just come back, so as not to waste the company's quota."
He Lin offered a compromise, which was ultimately accepted by both families. Besides, the two of them would have company if they went together.
A month later, He Lin was sent on a business trip to Nancheng. The couple stood in front of the station entrance and talked for a long time.
"Remember to call me, and let me know you arrived safely."
"Okay, the train is about to leave, I have to go in. You can stay at home with your parents for a while, I don't mind that you're with them."
Yu Lian waved goodbye, watching He Lin leave. She intended to go straight home after leaving the train station, but passing by her sister's workplace—Yu Xin had initially expressed dissatisfaction with her job, but then quickly denied it and continued working—she noticed that the two sisters looked a bit haggard after a month, and their appetites had increased significantly.
After identifying herself at the entrance of their workplace, Yu Lian followed the street signs to their workplace and secretly observed their work from a distance. It must be said that, despite instructions from both sets of parents, the two received no special treatment. From initially moving basic goods to now checking quantities and invoices, everything was done collaboratively by the two, with the final cleanup and tidying up also handled.
"Oh dear, you've worked hard, have some water. I'm finally free now that you two are here! Who knew you'd be doing such hard work instead of enjoying your good life?"
These chores were originally the work of the younger staff, but because the two women suddenly decided to come and experience the work firsthand, all the tasks were assigned to them. In the past, Yu Xin would have said a few words to the other woman in this situation, but this time she didn't. After finishing their work, Yu Xin and Erli quietly left the work area and took a detour to another side.
Yu Lian followed and found the two observing the criminal investigation officers at work. According to the rules, they weren't supposed to interfere, but the rules seemed to have been disregarded here. The two worked together, offering their unique insights with great clarity. Although not crucial advice, it provided the criminal investigation officers with a different kind of inspiration.
Seeing that the two had been sent away, Yu Lian appeared and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yu Lian's sudden appearance startled the two of them: "Sister! What brings you here?"
"Just passing by to check on you. You look like you're having a tough time; you're both covered in sweat. If you can't keep going, just say so."
The two immediately retorted, wiping away their sweat and puffing out their chests: "You don't know, the head of the criminal investigation team said we two have talent, and told us to keep at it, and in a few years they'll recommend us to them."
Yu Lian didn't know if she was telling the truth, but it was the first time she had seen her sister so serious and hardworking, so she nodded: "Okay, then keep it up. I'll treat you to a meal after you get off work."
While exclaiming in surprise, the two didn't forget that their work wasn't finished: "Sis, just sit here and wait for half an hour, it'll be done soon."
Yu Lian believed it and sat under the shade of the tree, almost falling asleep, until they got off work.
"It's too late now, why don't we go back first, otherwise my brother-in-law will be looking for you."
"He seems to know everything. Your brother-in-law is away on a business trip with his colleagues, so don't worry about it."
"Huh? Where are you going on a business trip? Is it far? When are you coming back? I heard there was a robbery on a train recently!"
Yu Lian also saw the news, so she was a little worried. Moreover, He Lin and his colleagues did have to pass through that rather turbulent section of road.
