C184 (2/2)
Lin Muru did not speak, nor did his expression change, as he stared at his father who was slowly aging.
”I heard that you went to become a village director?” Lin Fenghan became more and more excited, ”If you didn't call me from the town before, I would have thought you really lost it! ”Now that you've brought another person back, I heard that you started fighting with him as soon as you got off the train?”
Lin Fenghan's tone still carried a trace of atmosphere, but he did not become angry. His decades of experience in politics had allowed him to easily control his own emotions.
The old man seemed to miss his daughter a lot, but he showed it in this way when he heard the words that had been stifling in his heart for a long time.
When Lin Muru heard it, a ball of tears once again flowed down his cheeks, rolling twice before he finally fell.
When Zhuo Bufan heard his Old Leader's lecture, he was immediately enlivened, but he did not manage to hear anything else. Only this sentence about Zhang Yitian was heard clearly, and he immediately understood the leader's intention.
”Are you talking about this kid? It can't be that the old man said he brought him back as well, right?” Zhuo Bufan thought in fear.
This was not a good sign, maybe Zhang Yitian was so angry at him … After looking up and down at Zhang Yitian, Zhuo Bufan immediately realized that it was not worth it to be scolded by Lin Fenghan for the sake of such a person.
In the worst case scenario, the old man would probably finish his words right here, and with each step that he took, Zhuo Bufan decided to place everything on Zhang Yitian before he got angry at Secretary General Lin.
When the old man said that he was tired, and turned to face him, Zhuo Bufan opened his mouth: ”Leader, you are right, this brat really doesn't know what's good for himself. If I were to say that he is not convinced!”
It was effective to fan the flames. Old Man Lin, who was still immersed in the dispute with his daughter a moment ago, immediately stopped his tears and turned to look at Zhang Yitian.
”You are Zhang Yitian?” Lin Fenghan opened his mouth and asked, ”I think you are really famous!”
Lin Fenghan's tone was slightly sarcastic, as if he had thrown out a blade, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Zhang Yitian still maintained his politeness at the very least. When Lin Fenghan mentioned him, he stood up and bowed slightly, ”Yes, Uncle. I'm Zhang Yitian.”
Perhaps, Zhang Yitian did not know, that his reputation was far greater than he could imagine.
Lin Muru had directly called Lin Fenghan at his office. That was the first time Lin Fenghan knew where his daughter was ever since father and daughter had gotten into an argument over that matter.
Lin Muru practically cried as she pleaded for her father to save Zhang Yitian.
Lin Fenghan was naturally shrewd and scheming, seeing his daughter so emotionally moved, he immediately made his own judgement.
Could it be that his precious daughter, who had been a village official for a few months, wanted to find a farmer's son-in-law for him?
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Comrade Lin immediately shuddered. This was a result that he would never allow to happen.
On the day before Lin Muru came home, he had once told his mother that he was going to bring his friends home, but Comrade Lin immediately realized that his daughter was most likely going to bring this new son-in-law over!
On one hand, the old man was extremely happy about his daughter's return, but the moment he thought about facing Zhang Yitian, he felt like exploding!
He had raised his daughter for so many years, it was not to send her to the countryside to be poverty-stricken. Therefore, ever since he knew that Zhang Yitian was going to visit, Comrade Lin had already made up his mind to let his daughter play with Zhang Yitian for fun!
No matter the cost!
The old man had already made up his mind about Zhang Yitian's attitude a long time ago. No matter how much good words the old man said to Zhang Yitian, it would not change his mind.
It was good to let this little farmer stay away from his daughter. If he couldn't, he could use some tricks.
”Tell me about your situation! ”Tell me the truth!” Comrade Lin pointed to the sofa at the opposite side, indicating for Zhang Yitian to sit.
”Hmm?” Zhang Yitian was startled, he was at a loss of what to do. You have to report your account when you come to the leader's house? Did he have to repeat the word 'birthday' again?
Zhang Yitian's baffling gaze already showed how rude he felt the question was. However, he stopped his thoughts, and smiled as he answered the question.
”My family lives in Lin Xi. They're from the countryside. My father is a vegetable farmer. Right now, I …” You can still be considered a vegetable farmer! ” Zhang Yitian answered, ”My father has already passed away, and my mother is now living on a wheelchair!”
In truth, Comrade Lin had already figured out all these problems, he even knew that Zhang Yitian was planning for his own career, but that kind of level of career, in the eyes of this big shot, was not even worth mentioning.
Zhang Yitian explained it briefly. Realizing that the old man's expression did not change, he tactfully ended the narration.
Lin Muru was also baffled by her father's question, but she had a bad premonition and it immediately gushed into her brain.
But Lin Muru still could not understand, what did his father mean by that?
She reckoned that this matter was only known to Mother Lin. Although she didn't want her daughter to find a farmer in the future, the first impression Zhang Yitian gave him was still not bad, so she immediately changed the topic.
After all, this was Zhang Yitian's first time at home, right?
However, before Mother Lin could speak, after thinking for a long time, she suddenly said, ”There are some things! I still like to speak frankly! ”
