"Thank you, President." God knows she got so nervous seeing Shen Feihu, this was the President of the Rescue Association. Although the Rescue Association is affiliated with the General Union, it wields considerable power there. She was just an ordinary junior mber in the General Union, how could she not be nervous eting her superior?
Sheng Ning quickly poured a cup of water and handed it over, "President, have so tea."
"Thanks!" Shen Feihu said casually, "You’ve worked hard during this ti."
"It wasn’t hard, Qigang is my husband, taking care of him is what I should do."
"Hmm! Good, you’re a good spouse."
"President, while I am a spouse, I am also a comrade." Sheng Ning corrected earnestly.
"Hahaha... how could I forget that?" Shen Feihu scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Comrade Sheng Ning is the most outstanding artist in our General Union Dance Troupe. I’ve given you half a year’s leave, Teacher Qiu Bai has reached out to multiple tis insisting on not letting you go."
"President, I’ll go back and explain it to Teacher Qiu Bai." She felt sowhat guilty towards Teacher Qiu Bai but understood their dedication to art. In this lifeti, if she hadn’t t the Living Yama, she would have remained unmarried and childless like Teacher Qiu Bai, tirelessly pursuing what she loved, striving to shine on the national stage.
But alas, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Once she had the Living Yama, she couldn’t selfishly chase a career. Thinking of her mother-in-law’s expectations, there was no way she could refuse to have children just for the sake of her figure.
"That sounds good."
"You all chat, I’ll go make a call ho."
Sheng Ning knew they would definitely discuss important matters, so it was inconvenient for her to join, and she took the initiative to step out. It was a good ti to call ho, and the hospital had a dedicated communication room. Chen Huaying was familiar with the place, making it easiest to ask her for help.
She detoured to Chen Yingjie’s ward, where she found Administrative Director Liang Ximing, likely there with Shen Feihu.
"Sheng Ning." Chen Huaying jumped up from her chair, "You guys chat, I’ll go out for a stroll with Sheng Ning." Being cooped up in the hospital these days, she was nearly suffocated.
The two of them headed to the hospital’s communication room. Everyone inside knew them, and they were allowed to go in to make a call after stating the purpose.
The communication room had small booths, and luckily, it was work hours and nobody was inside. Chen Huaying waited outside while Sheng Ning went in to dial, and the call was picked up as soon as it rang.
"Hello? Who are you?" Surprisingly, a child’s voice answered.
Sheng Ning thought that saying her na wouldn’t ring a bell for a child, as she’d only spent three days in Xu Qigang’s village and many people didn’t know her. So she said, "I’m Xu Qigang’s wife."
The child shook his head loudly, "Never heard of it, who is Xu Qigang?"
This little rascal, already being difficult, "Little one, call your dad to answer the phone." She rembered Xu Qigang’s cousin, Xu Yingshan, and thought of asking him to take the call.
"I won’t call, why should I if you won’t tell who you are?"
"I’m Little Yama’s wife." This ti, she resorted to using Xu Qigang’s nickna back ho. She thought it would finally work, but instead, the kid on the other end burst into tears.
"Waa waa waa... Little Yama, I’m scared of Little Yama."
Xu Yingshan was outside smoking with his childhood friends, pondering how to plant crops in the fields in spring when he heard his son crying inside and rushed in frantically. At a glance, he saw the brat holding the phone.
This phone was installed through his cousin’s connections, and it hadn’t been used much since every household lacked a phone, making it difficult to make calls even if one wanted to.
