But now he also has something to worry about. The current situation is complicated and confusing. The director is definitely going to be promoted, and the position under his butt is vacant. But Shen Qingshan is not the only one who is eyeing that position. There are also people who are qualified to compete for that position. There are two opponents, both of whom are not inferior to him in qualifications.
What we have to fight for now is connections and backstage.
Whoever has strong connections and a strong backing can get that position.
What troubles Shen Qingshan is that he has connections, but he doesn't have a strong backing.
Originally, his father-in-law was his most powerful supporter, but he died too early. He just helped Shen Qingshan onto the horse and passed away before he could give him a ride.
Later, Shen Qingshan struggled in the officialdom for so many years, all relying on his own ability to work.
Thinking of this, he felt annoyed. If he had known that his father-in-law died so early and was so unreliable, he might as well have married someone else.
Of course, he would not tell Shen Ning a word about these things.
The father and daughter chatted for a while.
After all, Shen Qingshan felt guilty, and after saying a few words, he said: "Xiao Ning, you have just been discharged from the hospital, right? You must be tired. Go back to the room to rest for a while, and wait for your Aunt Chen to buy the groceries and cook the meal. Come out to eat.”
Shen Ning nodded obediently.
When Chen Mingli first walked in, Shen Qingshan asked her to change her name to "Mom", but she couldn't call her "Mom".
Later, Shen Qingshan mentioned it several times, but seeing that she never screamed, he let her go.
She got up and walked upstairs, because her bedroom was upstairs.
But she only took two steps when she was stopped by Shen Qingshan.
"Xiao Ning."
She turned around and saw Shen Qingshan rubbing his hands with a strange expression on his face.
"Dad, what's wrong?" she wondered.
"Uh, um... you'd better sit on the sofa for a while and wait until your Aunt Chen comes back to rest. Well, um..." He hesitated.
Shen Ning thought for a moment and understood.
"Is there anyone in my room?"
Shen Qingshan coughed and avoided her eyes: "That's it, Tongtong said that her room faces north and doesn't see the sun all day long, and her paint has grown hair, so she moved to your room where the sun shines. Okay, uh, how about you stay in Tongtong’s original room first? That room is also very nice and the place is very big.”
This is an old-style small building. Downstairs is the entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, a utility room, and a storage room.
There are four bedrooms upstairs, two facing south and two facing north.
In the past, there were only three members of Shen Ning's family at home. Shen Qingshan and his wife lived in one south bedroom, and Shen Ning naturally lived in the other south bedroom.
After Chen Mingli moved in, she and Shen Qingshan lived in the original south bedroom, and her two daughters lived in the two north bedrooms.
But the south bedroom where Shen Ning lives has been coveted by Chen Mingli and her two daughters.
Shen Ruotong was the youngest and believed that he was favored by Shen Qingshan the most, so he clamored to change rooms with Shen Ning several times.
Shen Ning usually always gave in to her, but this time she was very determined and did not give up her room.
Because there are so many memories of her mother in this room.
There are many things in it that were made for her by her birth mother. Although they are all inconspicuous and not valuable in the eyes of others, to Shen Ning, everything is priceless.
But she never expected that Shen Ruotong would openly occupy her room after she had been staying in the hospital for a month.
Shen Ning's chest rose and fell twice.
She lowered her eyes and tried to ask in a calm tone:
"What about the stuff in my room?"
