Chapter 398 It Flyed
The elders in the house fell silent as Nan comforted Song Xiuying, telling her not to feel guilty and that she needed to endure some hardship to have a better life.
No one said anything to blame him. In those days, even a hero could be brought down by a penny, let alone Song Wanli, who had no other choice. Now that he knows he was wrong and is trying his best to make amends in every way, the father and daughter are now a loving and filial couple, so there's no need to bring up the past and hurt feelings.
“Master Gao, you said that Nan had several high fevers when she was a child. Is that why she was put on that red bead?” Jiang Qianqian broke the silence.
"Maybe..." Gao Haoran wasn't sure either.
"Godmother, Master, Parents, younger brothers and sisters, you don't need to be so nervous. We're all grown up now and can take care of each other. Our family situation isn't bad either. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Don't be nervous, just do what you need to do!" Song Tingnan reassured the worried crowd.
"You're such a carefree kid," Gao Haoran shook his head, but he was also quite helpless.
Song Tingnan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Master, don't worry. You always say that I weigh about 100 pounds, have 70 pounds of rebellious spirit, and 30 pounds of cunning. If something really happens, I won't suffer any losses."
"You know, if you encounter any problems in the future, you must tell us. Don't try to handle things alone." Gao Haoran instructed. Last time, when Xia Jiaoyang caused trouble, Song Tingnan had told them to keep it a secret from the Song family. Only he and Song Yanchu knew about it. Now, he could only give this stubborn disciple a little nudge.
Song Tingnan nodded solemnly. She wouldn't play the hero. When it was time to leverage someone's strength, she wouldn't pretend to be aloof. Having someone to rely on was also a kind of strength.
As for this incomprehensible matter, which is beyond their comprehension, they can only put it aside for now. Song Tingnan didn't want to dwell on it; perhaps the answer would come to them on its own someday.
After the New Year, Song Tingnan returned to the college early. Her graduating class was living through the best era in our country—a time of internal reform, opening up to the outside world, economic boom, and technological development, which required talent in all walks of life.
During this period, her classmates were all studying with great enthusiasm, burning brightly to provide a continuous source of fuel for the development of the motherland. Song Tingnan, as a small cog in the machine, was also very busy and had no time to waste on rotten people and trivial matters.
The Xia Jiaoyang incident has been clarified and will not affect her, but when it came to the actual political review, Song Tingnan still failed and could not officially join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The reason is ironic: it was Zheng Yueqiang, Song Tingnan's uncle who had been missing for many, many years and whom Song Tingnan had never met. Official investigations confirmed that he had acquired Japanese citizenship.
When Song Yanchu found out, she was so angry she wanted to fly over and chop him up. Was this guy a persistent ghost?
If you fail the political vetting, you naturally can't get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and going abroad is even more impossible.
Faced with this problem, Song Tingnan directly sought help from her uncle, Song Yanchu, and also asked Professor Liao to help her. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was just forming a team to go to Japan, and Song Tingnan, having waited so many years, didn't want to miss this opportunity.
In the end, Professor Liao used both soft and hard tactics to help her secure a "substitute" spot. Professor Liao, who is a man of few words but ruthless, said: "Other teams have a substitute. My family member Ting Nan is capable in both literature and martial arts, as well as medicine and eloquence. Her uncle even sponsors the funding. What are you putting on airs for?"
"You say the background check failed? Why don't you do a proper background check? A person who's been missing for decades has ruined my child's future. What about systems, democracy, teaching according to aptitude, and not avoiding favoritism in recommending people based on personal connections? You're all rigidly applying the rules. You can't even approve of my excellent student? Don't come begging me again..."
Of course, Song Yanchu's sponsorship fee was too tempting to refuse. Song Tingnan finally used her "money power" to board a plane and fly to the country she had imagined, hoping to find the answer.
