A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

Liu Chuan snorted and was too lazy to answer.

Xiao Yawen refused to accept this and immediately opened the door and said to a middle-aged man in his forties outside, "Director Yin, my Liu Chuan is not feeling well and has a high fever. He has asked for leave."

"Who did you ask for leave from? How come I don't know?"

Director Yin's face darkened and he said unhappily.

Liu Hongyi watched coldly.

Yin Lingshan used to be a cadre in the regional agricultural commission. He had been criticized by Liu Chu'an for work-related issues and was even ordered to make a public apology at a cadre meeting, which greatly embarrassed him, and he had held a grudge ever since. However, Liu Chu'an was his superior, and Yin Lingshan couldn't find any opportunity to retaliate. A little over a month ago, Liu Chu'an was demoted to Yanggou Farm, which made Yin Lingshan extremely happy.

He is now the deputy director of Yangou Farm, the third-in-command.

In turn, he became Liu Chuan'an's immediate superior.

Therefore, during this period, Yin Lingshan targeted Liu Chuan in every way, assigning him all sorts of hard and tiring work.

Xiao Yawen was so angry that he quarreled with him twice.

"We asked Director Wu for leave."

"Hmph, your face is so rosy, what's wrong with you? I think you're just pretending!"

Yin Lingshan's triangular eyes scanned the people in the room, and it was obvious at first glance that they were people with bad intentions.

"If you don't believe me, go to the clinic and ask Doctor Chen. My fever is 39.7 degrees Celsius!"

"Everyone knows that my husband, Lao Liu, is a down-to-earth person. He's not like some people who are picky about their work and don't work for two days!"

Xiao Yawen herself was a government official, not some ignorant country bumpkin. Yin Lingshan, the third-in-command of a farm in the district, couldn't scare her.

"Who are you talking about? Let me tell you, Xiao Yawen, don't think that things are still the same as before, that you're just regional cadres. Now that you're in Yanggou, you have to follow the farm's rules. Nobody's allowed to get special treatment!"

"Who's doing something special?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Liu Chuan had to step in to smooth things over. He waved his hand and said, "Director Yin, I do have a fever. I'll take a day off. I'll go back to work tomorrow when I feel better!"

There's no point in arguing with a villain like Yin Lingshan.

"Humph!"

"Don't you know the rules? No matter who you are, you must get my approval if you want to ask for leave. I'm the deputy director in charge of political work. Asking for leave from others doesn't count!"

Just then, a shout came from the gatehouse: "Old Liu, Old Liu, Team Leader Liu, the phone... is from the district..."

"Oh, here we come..."

Liu Chuan struggled to get out of bed and looked at Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi smiled slightly.

I know the job is coming!

He immediately stood up and helped his father walk towards the message room.

Yin Lingshan immediately followed, his face full of suspicion.

I don't know why the region called Liu Chu'an at this time; something just doesn't feel right.

"Hello, hello, I'm Liu Chuan..."

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Chuan picked up the phone, Kang Jisheng's voice came from the other end.

"Haha, Lao Liu, thank you for your hard work! I'm Kang Jisheng..."

Kang Jisheng laughed it off and seemed very friendly and easy to talk to.

Liu Hongyi suspected that this guy would be furious if he failed to stop him in the photo studio. But he had to call Liu Chuan immediately to implement Liu Hongyi's "instructions" to avoid any more trouble.

"Hello, Director Kang!"

Liu Chuan said neither arrogantly nor humbly.

"Haha, Lao Liu, it's like this. Just now, I met with Director Gao and a few others. We think that Lao Wu from Yanggou Farm is getting old and his health isn't good. The organization should take better care of the older comrades, so we plan to transfer him back to the region."

“I propose that you take over as the director and Party branch secretary of Yanggou Farm, succeeding Lao Wu. Director Gao and the others have agreed in principle.”

"..."

Yin Lingshan, who had been standing not far away and "eavesdropping" with his ears perked up, was suddenly stunned, his face full of shock and confusion.

How is this going?

How come in the blink of an eye, Old Liu became Director Liu.

The top leader!

"Director Kang, thank you for the organization's trust in me. I feel that I am still lacking in ability and I am afraid that I am not suitable to take on such a heavy responsibility. I ask the regional leaders to consider this carefully!"

Liu Chuan spoke meticulously according to the standard wording.

As a human being, we should be humble and cautious.

You can't just burst into laughter when your superiors say you are appointed as the top leader. That would seem too superficial.

"Haha, I know your situation, Lao Liu. You're very capable. You've been the head of the regional agricultural commission. Setting up a small Yanggou Farm is a piece of cake for you."

"Haha, this was a collective decision made by several key leaders in the region, so there's no need for you to be modest."

"Ok, deal!"

"From now on, you must take charge of all the work at Yanggou Farm, and ensure that it is done well and implemented."

"You understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Director Kang, I understand."

Liu Chuan agreed with his mouth, but sneered in his heart.

"Also, Lao Liu, let me ask you something. Has your child gone to your place?"

Then, Kang Jisheng changed the subject and began to inquire about the news.

Liu Chuan sneered in his heart again and said, "Thank you for your concern, Director Kang. My child has come to my place and I have got the things. Please rest assured, Director Kang, I will keep them well and will not lose them."

Kang Jisheng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the worst outcome had occurred.

That little bastard Liu Hongyi really did run off to Yanggou Farm. Now that the stuff is in Liu Chuan'an's hands, it's obviously unrealistic to expect to get it back.

It seems the only option is to compromise.

He laughed heartily and said, "That's good, that's good. Tell him not to be afraid of those street thugs and hooligans, and to come back to school without worry. If anyone really dares to mess with him, tell him to come to me and I'll take care of it for him!"

"Of course, children should still read more and stop thinking about those messy things. It won't do them any good."

Kang Jisheng threatened in a timid manner, laughed twice, and then hung up the phone.
