Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

There was still a smile on his lips, but it didn't reach his eyes, and his tone was full of alienation.

Director Lin understood the meaning behind her words and forced a smile: "I didn't mean that. I just...ah..."

"It's okay, I know. I'll leave first. I have something else to do at the factory."

Tan Yuan left without looking back, leaving Director Lin alone with the letter that Zhao Debang sent to Zhao Yang in his hand.

After Tan Yuan walked away, she curled her lips and said, "You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. You don't know how to build good relationships with so many people in your family. After all, you are still young. You will suffer in the future."

Tan Yuan did not hear Director Lin's mumbling, nor was she curious about what was written in Zhao Debang's letter to Zhao Yang.

After coming out of Director Lin’s office, Tan Yuan turned around and called the street office.

The subsidy her parents gave her at the cost of their lives has never been interrupted for more than ten years. It is impossible that it would suddenly stop just a few months after she came to Huaiyin Brigade. There is no such coincidence in the world.

Rather than a coincidence, Tan Yuan would rather believe that someone did it on purpose. Could it be that because she came to Huaiyin Brigade to cut in line, someone found a way to steal all her money and tickets?

The most likely person is Zhao Debang. As Tan Yuan's uncle, he has been in charge of receiving subsidies for many years. If he uses his connections, he might be able to do it.

The son of Li Xiufang, a clerk in the street office, bought Tan Yuan's job. She was also the one who handled the subsidy address. Tan Yuan would occasionally contact her, so a call from her now is not too out of place.

"Subsidy? No, I haven't seen the Zhao family for a long time. I heard they moved back to the old house and quarreled every day. I haven't heard about this."

Li Xiufang was certain that Zhao Debang had never come to the street office once, but she didn't know whether he would think of other ways.

"Are you okay over there? Do you need me to find out for you?"

Li Xiufang's son Lin Shuai went to work in a tobacco factory. He had good benefits and a high salary. He earned a lot every month, both openly and secretly. He got engaged last month and even got married the first time. Li Xiufang was particularly satisfied with the conditions of the girl's family, so she was willing to help Tan Yuan, who sold her job, a little.

She works in the street office, her husband also works, her parents-in-law have not retired yet, and the family has a lot of connections.

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you, Aunt Li?" Tan Yuan hesitated.

"No, no, I'm just asking around. It's not a big deal."

Even though Tan Yuan couldn't see Li Xiufang's hands, they kept moving, and she was happy to endure this little trouble.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Li. I'm working in the queue here in Shu. There's a factory here. I sent you some stuff. I think it will arrive in a few days. Remember to pick it up at the post office."

The things were sent before the New Year. Tan Yuan's network of contacts was not complicated. Apart from her schoolmates, the only person she knew was Li Xiufang. After some things that happened in her previous life, Tan Yuan had seen through her schoolmates. Except for two particularly good friends, she had lost contact with the others.

However, Li Xiufang and Tan Yuan did not intend to cut off contact with her. After all, she was a member of the street office, and she would have to move back there in the future and redeem the house.

When Li Xiufang heard that Tan Yuan had actually sent her something, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she was more attentive in asking Tan Yuan about the matter.

But within two days, she gave Tan Yuan a positive answer.

"No, the Zhao family has never asked anyone to do this."

Li Xiufang said with certainty that the Zhao family definitely did not ask anyone to embezzle Tan Yuan's subsidy. After all, Li Aidi was sent to the farm for reform for this reason. If the Zhao family did it again, Zhao Debang himself would also be sent to the farm.

Even if Zhao Debang had the courage, he would not dare to do this. Tan Yuan knew her uncle well.

After thanking her, Tan Yuan fell into deep thought again.

If she is not a member of the Zhao family, how could her subsidies be suddenly cut off?

Was it because she was already eighteen? Did the government assign her a job? Even if she wasn't doing the work herself, it was still assigned to her, wasn't it?

As for whether she had stopped receiving subsidies in her previous life, Tan Yuan really didn't know. She had never received this subsidy in her previous life. Later, after returning to the city, the Zhao family had a relative named Liang family, and the Liang family had climbed up the social ladder and made rapid progress in their official careers, so she could no longer afford to offend them.

Later, when I made money from business, whether or not I had this subsidy became insignificant.

But in this life... the biggest source of income was suddenly cut in half, and Tan Yuan felt a little pain in her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

I used to receive two paychecks every month, but now I only have my own salary left. How can I not feel sad?

No, she also has a small business with Zeng Erwa! Although the business is small, the profit is quite good.

She had lost all her strength and was in a state of despair, but her fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

Since the little angel Zeng Erwa is missing, she will take the initiative to look for him.

When Guan Jianguo was asked by Tan Yuan about Zeng Erwa's whereabouts, his originally happy mood calmed down and even became a little complicated.

"What are you looking for him for?"

Is he no better than a little brat? Can't he do what Zeng Erwa can do?

Guan Jianguo shouted frantically in his heart: Come to me for help, come to me for help, I can do anything!

His face showed nothing, as long as he had been disguising himself, he had become adept at controlling his emotions.

Tan Yuan didn't think Guan Jianguo was worthless at all, but she did see a hint of resentment in Guan Jianguo's eyes. No, what was there for Guan Jianguo to be resentful about? It was obvious that this man was a favorite in the eyes of the ladies in the team who were keen on matchmaking.

Putting those messy thoughts in check, Tan Yuan replied: "Oh, he helped me at the last trade show, and I want to thank him in person. Is he free recently?"

She couldn't just tell Guan Jianguo that she and Zeng Erwa were engaged in a small business of speculation, so Tan Yuan could only find an excuse.

As for whether Guan Jianguo believed it or not, that wasn't something Tan Yuan should worry about. After all, Guan Jianguo himself was also involved in speculation and profiteering. Even if he knew about it, they could just pretend they didn't know. It wasn't a big deal. Tan Yuan believed that the two of them should be able to reach a consensus.

She just regretted not asking Zeng Erwa to leave his contact information. How could she have known that Zeng Erwa would suddenly disappear?

No one knew what Zeng Erwa was busy with better than Guan Jianguo. He hesitated for a second and nodded: "Well, how did he find you?"

"He knew how to find me."

Tan Yuan thought that the two of them had reached a tacit understanding and even winked at Guan Jianguo.

Guan Jianguo felt his heart skip a beat, and then it couldn't catch up anymore. He felt an itch in his throat and coughed dryly: "Are those fish delicious? Which ones do you like? And do you like dried shrimps..."
