Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 985 Test!

Thinking about her daughter who was about to be transferred from the department store to the Commerce Bureau, Wen Xiaorong was overjoyed. She quickly said to Tang Yanling, "Lingling! It's getting late. Mom will go with you to the counter first and help you clean it up. Then we'll go back to the office and call your dad to tell him the good news."

Wen Xiaorong took the bucket that Tang Yanling usually used the night before, filled it halfway with water from the tap, and started cleaning in front of the counter that Tang Yanling was in charge of. Just as the two of them finished cleaning and Wen Xiaorong was about to return to the finance office, the office director suddenly came to the counter that Tang Yanling was in charge of.

When the office director saw Wen Xiaorong and her daughter Tang Yanling, he remembered the news he had just heard from Director Wang. A warm smile spread across his face as he greeted Wen Xiaorong, saying, "Accountant Wen! Good morning. What brings you here today to help Tang Yanling with the cleaning?"

Upon hearing the office director's inquiry, Wen Xiaorong immediately greeted him politely, "Director Gong! Good morning! There's not much going on in the finance department right now, so I thought I'd come over and help my Lingling clean the counter. What brings you here so early in the morning?"

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's question, Director Gong looked at the mother and daughter in front of him and said with a smile, "Accountant Wen! I came to the counter early this morning specifically to see your Tang Yanling. I really didn't expect that you two would make such a big splash!"

Upon hearing Director Gong mention his remarkable success, Wen Xiaorong immediately recalled the news Tang Yanling had just told her, which filled her with secret joy. Remembering Jia Dongming's instructions to Tang Yanling, Wen Xiaorong feigned ignorance, saying, "Director Gong! What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

When Director Gong heard Wen Xiaorong's question and saw her feigning ignorance, he smiled and said to her, "Accountant Wen! Director Wang wants to see Comrade Tang Yanling. He asked me to come and inform Tang Yanling to go to his office."

Upon hearing Director Gong's words and learning that Director Wang was looking for Tang Yanling, Wen Xiaorong became even more certain of her guess. She then instructed Tang Yanling, "Lingling! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go to Director Wang's office to see what he wants to see you about. Don't keep him waiting."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's reminder, Tang Yanling snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded in reply, "Mom! I understand. I'll go find Director Wang right now."

Soon Tang Yanling arrived at the door of Director Wang's office at the department store. Seeing Director Wang sitting in the office, she knocked on the door and greeted him politely, "Director Wang! Good morning! I heard from Director Gong that you were looking for me."

Director Wang, who was sitting at his desk, instinctively looked up when he heard the knock on the door. When he saw Tang Yanling standing at the office door, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he greeted Tang Yanling in a very friendly tone: "Little Tang! You've come. Please come in."

Upon hearing Director Wang's words and sensing his enthusiasm, Tang Yanling quickly entered Director Wang's office and politely asked, "Director Wang! I heard from Director Gong that you wanted to see me. May I ask what it is?"

In Director Wang's subconscious, Wen Xiaorong and her daughter were just ordinary employees of their department store. It wasn't until he received a call from the Municipal Bureau office this morning that he learned that this ordinary mother and daughter actually had a relationship with the newly arrived Director Jiang of the Municipal Bureau.

Thinking of the news the director of the Municipal Bureau's office had told him, Director Wang said to Tang Yanling with a friendly expression, "Little Tang! I just received a call from the Municipal Bureau. The Municipal Bureau's office is short of a clerk. After careful consideration, Director Wang of the Municipal Bureau has decided to transfer you to work in the Municipal Bureau's office. You should hand over your counter work to your team leader, and then you can go to the personnel department to complete the transfer procedures."

Tang Yanling already knew yesterday that she would be transferred to the Municipal Bureau, but subconsciously she felt that a job transfer wouldn't be finalized in just a day or two. To her surprise, Director Jiang had already confirmed her transfer in just one night. Upon hearing Director Wang's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately nodded happily and said respectfully, "Director Wang! I'll go find our team leader now to complete the handover."

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's answer, Director Wang immediately realized that Tang Yanling clearly knew in advance about his transfer to the Municipal Bureau. Remembering the rumors circulating in the unit that Tang Yanling had a chauffeur-driven car to and from get off work every day, Director Wang tentatively asked Tang Yanling, "Little Tang! Your job transfer was personally arranged and implemented by the newly appointed Director Jiang of the Municipal Bureau. I heard you know Director Jiang; I wonder what your family's relationship is with Director Jiang's family?"

Tang Yanling's parents were just ordinary people after all. When she heard Director Wang's question, she didn't realize that Director Wang was trying to trick her into talking. She smiled and replied, "Director Wang! Director Jiang is a friend of my uncle. Last night, he invited my uncle to dinner and unexpectedly learned that I work at our department store. So he plans to transfer me to work at the Municipal Bureau."

When Director Wang heard Tang Yanling's account, he learned that Tang Yanling's uncle was actually a guest of honor of his superior. In fact, his superior had even offered to transfer Tang Yanling to the Municipal Bureau in order to curry favor with him. This alone was enough to show that Tang Yanling's uncle's identity was not simple.

With this thought in mind, Director Wang continued to probe Tang Yanling, "Little Tang! Since I was transferred to our department store, all these years have passed, how come I've never heard Accountant Wen mention that you have an uncle who is a leader?"

Upon hearing Director Wang's question, Tang Yanling answered without hesitation, "Director Wang! It's not my own uncle, but my boyfriend's uncle. He is the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Yesterday, when Director Jiang invited him to dinner, he unexpectedly learned from Director Li of the steel rolling mill that I work at our department store."

The head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is a leader of a powerful department, even half a rank higher than Director Jiang. Director Jiang not only invited him to dinner, but also immediately transferred Tang Yanling to the Municipal Bureau after learning that she was working at a department store. This is enough to show that Tang Yanling's uncle's position in Director Jiang's mind is absolutely not to be underestimated.

Whether it was because of the relationship between Tang Yanling's uncle and Director Jiang, or because of Tang Yanling's uncle's status, Director Wang had already made up his mind that he must take advantage of this opportunity of Tang Yanling's transfer to establish some connection with him.

With this thought in mind, Director Wang smiled and said to Tang Yanling, "Little Tang! You are the first person from our department store to be transferred to work at the Municipal Bureau, so the company has decided to hold a farewell ceremony for you in the small canteen tonight. Please invite Accountant Wen and your partner to attend as well."

When Tang Yanling learned that Director Wang was going to hold a farewell ceremony for her in the unit's cafeteria, she felt flattered and quickly replied, "Director Wang! My mother is fine, but my boyfriend works at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He's very busy there, so I need to ask him if he's free tonight."

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's answer and learning that her boyfriend also worked at the Public Security Bureau, Director Wang immediately smiled and instructed Tang Yanling, "Little Tang! After you finish handing over your work, you can call your boyfriend and ask if he's free. If he really isn't free, don't force him. After all, work is important."

Upon hearing Director Wang's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately nodded and replied respectfully, "Director Wang! I'll call my boyfriend later and ask if he's free tonight."
