Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Because of Me, I Must Take Responsibility

Tian Xiang wanted to say that someone had hidden his colors, and this time it was Lu Feng deliberately trying to harm him.

But, thinking carefully, as Chen Yong said, it’s no longer about who reported it but that Meng Cheng’an concealed the fact that he was colorblind.

Tian Xiang sighed, "In any case, I hope the factory and our union can give him a chance to correct himself."

Jiang Qin nodded, "We will consider the relevant situation thoroughly."

That was as good as not saying anything.

But for now, that’s all Tian Xiang could do.

Tian Xiang left and bumped into Chen Yong on his way downstairs.

Chen Yong: "What are you doing on the second floor?"

Tian Xiang: "I was asking about the handling of Meng Cheng’an’s situation."

Chen Yong: "How is it now?"

Tian Xiang repeated what Chairman Jiang had just said to him.

Chen Yong nodded and followed Tian Xiang downstairs.

Tian Xiang: "Weren’t you going up to the second floor?"

Chen Yong: "No need now, it’s fine."

He was also there to inquire about the situation regarding Meng Cheng’an, planning to tell her, but now it wasn’t necessary.

The two came downstairs, and Chen Yong returned to the office while Tian Xiang headed to the factory committee.

Just before they parted, Tian Xiang asked him, "Do you know where Meng Cheng’an lives?"

She wanted to check on him.

Chen Yong: "Relocation Area Sixteen Lane, Courtyard No. 3."

Tian Xiang: "Thanks."

Chen Yong shook his head sadly, for the love that was about to die.

Tian Xiang couldn’t be bothered with him at the moment and left quickly.

Chen Yong went back to the office, suddenly realizing at the doorstep.

Huh!

Weren’t they dating? How could Tian Xiang not know where Meng Cheng’an lives?

This doesn’t make sense, could there be some misunderstanding?

Chen Yong finally felt something was off.

Tian Xiang was dating Meng Cheng’an, but she never mentioned it herself, could it be the old gatekeeper made a mistake or misunderstood something?

Chen Yong brushed his hair and felt confident again.

But soon, he got dejected again.

Looking at their ambiguous attitude, even if they weren’t dating yet, it wouldn’t be far off.

What a bummer, his actions were still too slow.

...

When Tian Xiang got to the broadcasting room, Zeng Qingwen had just started work and was preparing the script to be used later.

Tian Xiang knocked on the door.

Zeng Qingwen: "Why are you here again, don’t you trust what I said?"

Tian Xiang shook her head and sat down next to Zeng Qingwen.

"Do you know Meng Cheng’an from the Union’s Propaganda Department?"

Zeng Qingwen: "How could I not, he has a family member abroad. Last time the person who came to the family compound to inform us was him."

Tian Xiang: "He’s in some trouble, and was investigated today, did you know?"

Zeng Qingwen nodded.

Tian Xiang took a deep breath, "Can you think of a way to make this big problem smaller, help him keep his job?"

Zeng Qingwen laughed, "Comrade Tian Xiang, you helped me once last time, and I gave you tickets at noon, that favor is already repaid. You can’t expect a return for just one thing; we don’t have any special relationship."

Tian Xiang: "I haven’t used a single one of those tickets, I can return them to you right now."

If she had known something like this would happen, why would she want those tickets?

Zeng Qingwen: "Are you? Are you out of your mind? I just told you, he has someone abroad, if you two get too close at the factory, you’ll be isolated."

Tian Xiang: "This is my affair."

Zeng Qingwen: "Fine, fine, I won’t persuade you. Don’t return those tickets, because I can’t help with this matter at all."

Tian Xiang was silent for a moment, "You can’t help, but your dad can."

As both Vice Factory Director and Vice Union Chairman, Vice Factory Director Zeng should have decisive power in this matter.

As for Chairman Jiang, she is part of the union, and if the issue could be resolved smoothly, it would have little impact on the union, there’s no reason to oppose it.

So, in this matter, Vice Factory Director and Vice Chairman Zeng Dehai wields considerable power.

Zeng Qingwen’s face turned sour, "Tian Xiang, do you know what you’re saying?"

Zeng Qingwen lowered her voice, "You’re asking my dad to use public office for personal gain, believe it or not, I’ll report you to Chairman Jiang!"

Tian Xiang laughed, "Do you think it’ll snow this year?"

Zeng Qingwen: "?"

"Tian Xiang, are you thinking clearly? Yes, Meng Cheng’an is quite good-looking and tall, but his character is lonely and arrogant, and he doesn’t come from a good background. If you have your eyes on him, will your family agree? It won’t end well, don’t ruin your future for such a person, understand?"

Zeng Qingwen genuinely advised her.

To go this far for him, she must really like him!

Tian Xiang: "I’m helping him, not for that reason."

"Then what is it?"

Tian Xiang: "He’s been retaliated against by Lu Feng."

Zeng Qingwen: "???"

Why is that scumbag Lu Feng involved too?

Tian Xiang: "In any case, this happened because of me, I must take responsibility."

Zeng Qingwen: "You should find someone capable, I can’t help with this, and I can’t have my dad get involved."

Tian Xiang: "You must help with this."

Zeng Qingwen slammed the table, "What are you doing? Forcing me too!"

Tian Xiang glanced out the window, "The snow this year should come in late November, early December. Now it’s already the end of September, just over two months left. Time is tight, but your dad hasn’t been involved in that incident yet, and there’s still room to make amends.

Zeng Qingwen, you help me, and I’ll help you, it’s mutual aid, and also a transaction..."

It’s Friday today; by usual practice, broadcasts start around 5:30 with evening news and top submissions.

But today, from 5:30 to 7:00, the broadcasting room played music continuously for an hour and a half.

Someone in the factory committee office found it strange, checked it out, and discovered no one was inside, so they turned off the music.

In the small woods next to the factory basketball court.

Zeng Qingwen had a pale face and unsteady steps, almost stumbling on her way out.

Tian Xiang gave her a hand, "Do you want me to take you home?"

Zeng Qingwen shook her head, "No, no need..."

Zeng Qingwen left, first walking quickly, then faster and faster, eventually running.

Her father was about to be investigated; initially, Zeng Qingwen didn’t believe a word.

Tian Xiang, a mere eighteen-year-old girl, how could she know anything about the higher-ups’ moves and secrets?

But when Tian Xiang mentioned the vote and Secretary Qian, Zeng Qingwen turned pale with fear.

Although her father never said anything in front of her, being father and daughter and living together, she could sometimes guess or hear things.

These past few months, things have been different up there and very chaotic.

Sometimes, one wrong step and you’re beyond redemption.

Tian Xiang told her not to get involved; as for how to get out of it, her dad knows better than she does.

Zeng Qingwen understood, but she was just anxious, fearing one misstep and her father would be implicated.

Parting from Zeng Qingwen, Tian Xiang rode to the Red Fifth Street relocation area.

At this point, the sky was already dark, and although there were streetlights in the alley, it still felt dim.

Sixteen Lane, Courtyard No. 3, Tian Xiang quickly found it.

The location was quite remote, almost near the old factory site.
