Chapter 228 This person also knows how to take advantage of others
"Assistant Li has been fired, and Comrade Jia has been given a demerit and suspended for two weeks."
Being fired in this day and age is like cutting off one's livelihood. Assistant Li's dismissal was her own fault. However, Xu Yu was puzzled: "Didn't they say that Comrade Jia instructed Assistant Li to replace your cosmetics? Why was her punishment so light?"
"Jiang Shimin spoke up for her!" Ren Liping became agitated and angry. "Jiang Shimin was recently selected by the Central Cultural Troupe to perform at this year's New Year's Eve Gala. She said she needs Comrade Jia as her dance partner. If Comrade Jia is suspended for too long, he won't be able to practice dancing with her."
Hearing this, Xu Yu sneered, "Comrade Jia has already been punished, how can he still perform at the New Year's Eve gala hosted by the Central Committee?"
This made Ren Liping even more angry: "I said the same thing at the time, but the minister agreed to Jiang Shimin!"
"Your minister is so obviously covering up for me, and no one else has any opinions."
"Besides me, other people also spoke up for Comrade Jia. They all stood on her side. The minister asked Comrade Jia to apologize to me and told me to be magnanimous."
Xu Yu looked at Ren Liping, who was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of her head, and could understand her feeling of being isolated and frustrated at the time.
Ren Liping had obviously been holding it in for a long time, and if Xu Yu and the others hadn't helped her yesterday, she would have been in a difficult situation. So she felt an indescribable sense of gratitude and affection towards Xu Yu.
At this moment, she seemed to have finally found an outlet to vent, and she confessed everything: "Comrade Xu, the man you saw that day was my cousin's husband. His name is Feng Zhitao. He cheated on me, and the person he cheated on me with was Jiang Shimin!"
"I was the one who discovered they were having an improper relationship, so I told my cousin about it. Based on her principles, she would have dealt with the couple immediately, but the next day she told me not to get involved and said she would handle the matter."
Ren Liping grew increasingly angry as she spoke. "But my cousin didn't do anything about it. Instead, this couple became even more arrogant. I guess they must have used Huanhuan to threaten my cousin!"
Hearing this, Xu Yu frowned and asked in confusion: "Huanhuan is also the daughter of your cousin's husband. How can he threaten Doctor Chang?"
"Comrade Xu, you don't know!" Ren Liping's eyes turned red with anger when she said this. "Before they got married, my cousin and Feng Zhitao agreed that it didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl, they only wanted one child! But not long after Huanhuan's accident, the Feng family elders kept urging my cousin to have another child. Feng Zhitao even went back on his word, saying he could spoil Huanhuan, but the Feng family must have a normal child."
Xu Yu had witnessed too many scumbag men and women in the internet age, so Feng Zhitao's inconsistency towards Dr. Chang was perfectly normal. She was curious about whether his family situation was similar to Dr. Chang's, so she asked, "How did Dr. Chang and Comrade Feng get together?"
"They were both studying at a university in the imperial capital at the time and got together through a free love relationship."
"What are Comrade Feng's family conditions like?"
"His father is the director of the xx factory, and he took over his father's position."
The son of a factory director and a member of a military medical family were considered a perfect match in that era.
Xu Yu was even more puzzled. "Even if Dr. Chang was threatened, with her status as a military doctor, as long as she reports this to the higher-ups, they will definitely not sit idly by, right? And...what about Dr. Chang's family? Are they unaware of this or are they unwilling to intervene?"
Ren Liping's expression suddenly changed from anger to sadness, and her voice was also distressed: "My cousin has no family left except ours."
She said: "My cousin's family are all military doctors, and the others have sacrificed their lives supporting the border areas... My family doesn't have the ability to help her."
Xu Yu was even more puzzled. "They're such an honorable family. If Doctor Chang reports them, both your cousin-in-law and Comrade Jiang will be finished. So why would Doctor Chang be threatened?"
"I don't know either. No matter how I asked, my cousin just said that the most important thing now is to cure Huanhuan's illness. She doesn't want the child's condition to get worse because of their affairs as adults."
"She also said that she only has Huanhuan now and can't afford to gamble."
Xu Yu was silent for a long time before asking again: "Why did you tell me these things?"
Ren Liping looked into Xu Yu's eyes and said seriously, "Comrade Zhu said that your medical skills are very good. Besides Dr. Hu being your teacher, you also have a master in your hometown who is just as good as Dr. Hu. If I go to you, it's like I've found a group of miracle doctors. My allergies will definitely be cured."
"I think that since you can even cure my allergies, you must be able to cure Huanhuan's illness. I want you to help me and my cousin."
"Comrade Xu."
Ren Liping suddenly stood up and walked to Xu Yu, bowing deeply to her: "Please help us."
Xu Yu looked at the person in front of him and did not speak immediately.
Ren Liping just kept bowing.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
At this moment, Zhu Juncheng suddenly came to the door with a watering can. He seemed not to see what the two were doing and said, "Sister-in-law, the boss asked me to tell you that breakfast will be ready soon."
Xu Yu tilted his head to look at him.
Zhu Juncheng clasped his hands together and acted as if asking her for help.
Xu Yu looked at Ren Liping again and asked, "Comrade Ren, have you had breakfast?"
Ren Liping was stunned for a moment, obviously not realizing how the topic had taken such a sudden turn. Then she raised her head and straightened her back to look at her.
Xu Yu looked towards the gate.
Ren Liping also subconsciously looked towards the gate.
Zhu Juncheng grinned at the two of them and said, "Comrade Ren, don't worry, my sister-in-law is very capable and will definitely be able to help you."
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Juncheng spoke again: "But if you ask your sister-in-law to treat you, you can't ask her to help you for nothing."
Ren Liping understood what he meant and said quickly, "I'll give you money. As long as you can help, any amount is fine."
Xu Yu raised the corner of his lips and said, "I want a bit too much, you may not be able to give it to me."
Ren Liping subconsciously asked, "How much do you want?"
Xu Yu gave a considerate look.
Seeing her reaction, Zhu Juncheng quickly chimed in, "Sister-in-law, if Comrade Ren doesn't have enough money, I can lend it to her first."
Ren Liping looked at Zhu Juncheng with a complicated expression.
Zhu Juncheng smiled at her: "Since you have come to me for help, I must help you to the end."
Ren Liping looked at him and her face turned red for no apparent reason.
Xu Yu glanced at Zhu Juncheng.
I thought this person also knew how to take advantage of others.
She looked at Ren Liping's reaction again and felt that Zhu Juncheng should have a chance.
Just then, Jiang Yi was asking Zhu Juncheng to serve the dishes.
Zhu Juncheng said, "The boss called me, you guys continue chatting."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
After Zhu Juncheng was out of sight, Xu Yu said directly to Ren Liping: "Comrade Zhu likes you."
Ren Liping's already red face turned even redder, and she was obviously a little flustered and shy.
Xu Yu looked at her expression and said, "If you like Zhu Juncheng too, then ask him for help. If you don't, then don't hurt his feelings."
Ren Liping suddenly looked at Xu Yu.
Xu Yu smiled at her and said, "Sit down and I'll take your pulse to see what your allergies are."
Ren Liping opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment when Xu Yu suddenly changed the subject.
But she subconsciously sat down and handed her wrist to Xu Yu.
While Xu Yu was taking her pulse, Jiang Yi and Zhu Juncheng brought in breakfast.
The breakfast was simple, porridge with fried leek pancakes and boiled eggs.
There were also pickles and bacon that Xu Yu and his friends brought from their hometown.
After Xu Yu took Ren Liping's pulse, he invited her to have breakfast together.
Ren Liping was obviously a little embarrassed, so she said, "I've eaten."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Juncheng immediately exposed her: "You came to me so early to bring you to see my sister-in-law, how could you have eaten already?"
After that, he said to Xu Yu, "Comrade Ren came to see me at dawn. If I hadn't gone to the army last night, she would definitely have come to me in vain today."
Ren Liping's words were exposed, and the blush on her face that had faded away reappeared.
She glared at Zhu Juncheng.
Zhu Juncheng directly helped her pull out a stool and said with a smile: "Comrade Ren, please sit down and eat. After you finish eating, you can continue chatting with your sister-in-law."
