Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

Fang Yuan stared at Jiang Quan for a couple of seconds, then handed the documents to Wang Qian before walking to the window and waving at Jiang Quan.

"It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that I've noticed something's wrong with you lately."

Jiang Quan, not understanding why, obediently walked up to Fang Yuan.

"Why are you so cheerful and talkative with us guys, but when you talk to Wang Qian or other women, you immediately lower your head and stammer?"

"I...this...I..." Jiang Quan lowered his head and said, "I don't know what to say."

"You can't do that. Even if I wanted to take you out, can you guarantee we'd be able to question you properly if we were dealing with women?"

Fang Yuan smoked a cigarette, looking at Jiang Quan with a melancholy expression. In his mind, however, the scene of Jiang Bo calling him to a stop in the hallway when he got off work the day before yesterday came to mind.

In the personnel office, Jiang Bo spoke the most stern words in the gentlest tone: "From now on, my son will be working under you. Xiao Fang, don't spoil him. Talk to him and scold him when necessary."

Fang Yuan couldn't take it seriously and quickly said, "Director Jiang, don't worry. I will definitely be strict with him at work, but I will treat him like a younger brother in life."

Jiang Bo was very pleased to hear this and immediately said cheerfully, "Don't call me 'Director,' it's after get off work hours, call me 'Uncle.'"

It has to be said that Jiang Bo has done a pretty good job as a father.

Since Fang Yuan had already promised to take good care of him, he naturally couldn't let Jiang Quan just coast along under his wing.

Faced with Fang Yuan's questioning.

Jiang Quan was immediately furious and said angrily, "It's all my older sister's fault for bullying me when I was a child, which made me afraid to talk to my female classmates since I was little."

It turns out it was bloodline suppression that caused him psychological trauma.

"Why does your sister always hit you?" Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"It's a long story. I remember the first time was when I was six years old. I put my six-month-old cousin in a cloth bag and took her to school to show off..."

Alright~

That beating was well worth it.

"Section Chief, what should we do? Will I be able to go out on cases with you from now on?" Jiang Quan asked unwillingly.

Hearing the laughter of the women from the Women's Federation downstairs, Fang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Don't be discouraged, there's always a way. Come on, I'll teach you a trick."

Fang Yuan looked down out the window, pointed to Vice Chairman Shen of the Women's Federation downstairs, and said, "Can you see the women from the Women's Federation down there?"

Jiang Quan tiptoed and crouched downstairs, searching around before landing on his heels again and replying to Fang Yuan, "I saw it."

"Starting today, you're to spend your lunch break chatting with them."

"This... I can't do it, I can't. Can't we try another way?"

Fang Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him, and said with a serious face, "Remember, starting tomorrow, if you dare to miss a day, you'll have to go back to where you came from. I will personally talk to Director Jiang about it."

"Well... okay," Jiang Quan said listlessly, his head drooping.

Seeing that Fang Yuan had even brought up his father, Jiang Quan had no choice but to obediently admit defeat.

From his first day at the Supervision Department, his father sternly warned him that from now on he must obey Fang Yuan's orders in everything.

Seeing Jiang Quan obediently walk downstairs, Fang Yuan returned to Wang Qian's side and said with a smile, "You're familiar with the finance department, go and ask about this. I think we need to get it done quickly, as we might have a heavy rainstorm here in a few days."

Wang Qian had been looking at the materials for a while. If the problems reflected in the materials were true, then the problem was indeed very serious. It was a matter of life and death and could not be taken lightly.

With Fang Yuan's permission, she went straight to the office of Deputy Director Zhang of the Finance Department.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response. When she went to the next office to inquire, she learned that her aunt had gone to a meeting in the city that morning and hadn't come back for lunch.

In order not to slink back home, Wang Qian sat in the office for another hour before she finally met Zhang Xiuying, who had rushed back in a hurry.

"Qian'er, how's work in the Inspection Department?" Zhang Xiuying's voice revealed a hint of fatigue.

Wang Qian didn't say anything and just went through the matter of the materials. Who knew that Zhang Xiuying didn't take it to heart at all, and just lazily said: "Don't worry about things that are not your business. Funds are tight everywhere right now. Let's talk about it when we have money. Don't worry, that house is not made of paper. It won't collapse so easily."

"Without funding, it's impossible to rebuild?" Wang Qian suppressed her anger and questioned in a low voice, "Even a simple repair would be fine, it's only a matter of a hundred or two hundred yuan, why is it dragging on and on like this?"

Zhang Xiuying didn't answer Wang Qian's question. Instead, she asked, "Did your section chief send you?"

Wang Qian nodded.

"Didn't he just finish dealing with the steel rolling mill business? Is he so eager to make new contributions?" Zhang Xiuying frowned, as if asking Wang Qian, or perhaps asking herself.

Unlike other departments, the supervisory department was concerned with whether Fang Yuan wanted to do this on his own or if he had received instructions from higher-ups.

To confirm her suspicions, Zhang Xiuying asked Wang Qian, "Qian'er, did your section chief specifically find this document?"

"No, I just finished organizing it this morning and gave it to him," Wang Qian replied truthfully without much thought.

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now." Zhang Xiuying got up to see Wang Qian out, and before leaving, she added, "Don't worry about the school matters, girl. We'll talk about it when Secretary Su and Director Yang return from Anshan Iron and Steel."

Wang Qian was confused. Hadn't the reconstruction already been agreed upon?

Why do we have to wait for the leaders to come back again?

Wang Qian returned to her office, sat in her chair looking quite helpless, and lazily traced lines on the letter with her finger without saying a word.

Fang Yuan went over and poured her a cup of tea. It took Wang Qian a while to recover. She smiled at Fang Yuan and bowed her head, saying, "Section Chief, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"Didn't you discuss things with Director Zhang?" Fang Yuan asked.

"I told her, but she gave me a 2468, which made us understand. It wasn't that they didn't want to do it, but they really didn't have the money. She also said that there was a unified plan from above, and we had to obey the overall situation." Wang Qian repeated the key points of what Zhang Xiuying had told her.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Work is work, and life is life. I was too hasty. This matter should be resolved through normal channels."

Overall planning?

That's just a lie; it's most likely being used for something else again!

He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 3:30 in the afternoon. Seeing that Wang Qian wasn't in a good mood, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the school when we have some free time tomorrow."

It's not that Fang Yuan isn't going today, but if nothing unexpected happens, Niu Dazhuang will definitely take action later.

Sure enough, the minute hand on the wall clock moved to 4:50.

The telephone on the round table suddenly rang.
