Chapter 911: Chapter 900: Song 2 Dog Returns

“Congratulations, great job!” Song Yun said to Lin Si with a smile.

“Thank you!” Lin Si’s face was a bit flushed, looking somewhat excited and thrilled. After all, out of tens of thousands of TV hosts nationwide, only a few make it to CCTV, not to mention CCTV Channel 2.

Within CCTV, the first channel is the most renowned, followed by the second and third channels. As for the fourth channel, it’s somewhat inferior, because it airs mostly international affairs. The fifth and sixth are purely entertainment channels, naturally less influential than the others.

It was already past noon, around twelve o’clock. Song Yun had initially planned to take Lin Si out for lunch somewhere, but then a phone call came from home saying his father, Song Ergou, was almost home, asking him to return immediately.

After hanging up the call, Song Yun said to Lin Si, “You’ll have to eat by yourself this afternoon. If you’re free, you can go to the Yanjing Military District to hang out with Xu Ying. Of course, I guess you’re not that familiar with her, so I suggest you stay at the station for a while longer, get to know the people there, and build good relationships with your colleagues!”

“Oh, can’t I just go to your house?” Lin Si asked expectantly.

“No!” Song Yun rejected without hesitation, laughing to death, today was my dad’s homecoming, and unless something was amiss, I would be added to the clan ledger today. Bringing a woman home would, how should I put it—be awkward for Qingsi? Especially considering this woman was just a golden bird he kept privately.

“Oh, I also want to see your house!” Lin Si said in a coquettish manner, shaking Song Yun’s hand, just as Chen Feng saw it from the side. Chen Feng squinted slightly and then continued looking at his stuff.

“I said, no.” Song Yun frowned slightly and said, “I have to go!”

“Hmph, no no no, think your family lives behind the red walls? So hard to visit!” Lin Si complained.

“Haha, it really is behind those walls.” Song Yun chuckled and said, “You act up again, and you’re responsible for the consequences!”

“You!! Okay then, fine! But you have to take me to your house next time!” Lin Si said.

“We’ll talk when the opportunity arises!” After saying that, Song Yun pinched Lin Si’s cheek, turned around, and left the studio hall.

Shortly after Song Yun left, Chen Feng walked over to Lin Si, smiling, and said, “Why didn’t your boyfriend take you out to eat?”

“Him? He’s just busy!” Lin Si shook her head helplessly and said, “But I understand him, he has a lot on his plate.”

“Oh? What does your boyfriend do?” Chen Feng asked curiously.

“Him? Just a playboy.” Lin Si casually replied.

“Hahaha, a playboy from Sunan?” Chen Feng asked with a smile.

“Yeah, always enjoying life, let’s not talk about him. Do we have a cafeteria here?” Lin Si asked.

“Yes, I’ll take you there, I need to eat too!” Chen Feng said.

“That’s great, I’m new, I don’t know anything!” Lin Si said shyly.

“Haha, no worries, everyone starts as a newbie. After lunch, I’ll take you to meet some colleagues.” Chen Feng said.

“What do you guys usually do for fun in your free time?” Lin Si asked curiously.

“We play cards! During downtime, we play cards a lot. In Beijing, there’s plenty of card games big and small, occasionally playing is quite enjoyable. Let’s play a few hands later.”

“Let’s talk about it later then.”

Song Yun took a cab and quickly returned to the Song Family. Upon entering the grand courtyard, he saw a cheerful scene, with many places draped in red silk and miscellaneous decorations like lanterns, a festive atmosphere reminiscent of New Year.

Seeing this, Song Yun remembered today seemed to be the 28th of the lunar month, and the day after tomorrow was New Year’s Eve!

Time indeed flies! Song Yun couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental. Unknowingly, he had been here for nearly ten days. Although the time wasn’t long, a lot had happened.

Song Yun walked through the courtyard and into the main hall of the Song Family.

There were already quite a few people in the main hall. Song Mei Qin, Song Meifeng, Song Dong, Song Chun were all there, and Mr. Song was already seated at the head position, smiling and chatting with Ye Qingsi, while Qingluan quietly stood beside Ye Qingsi. Seeing Song Yun come in, she smilingly nodded at him.

Song Yun walked up to Ye Qingsi and asked, “Mom, when will Dad arrive?”

“Soon.” Ye Qingsi said with a smile, “He just landed, estimating another ten minutes or so before he arrives!”

Song Yun nodded and then looked at Mr. Song, asking, “Second Grandpa, will we be added to the clan ledger when Dad returns?”

“Yes, that’s right!” Mr. Song replied with a smile, “Your dad completed his mission exceptionally well this time!”

“Oh? How was it exceptional?” Song Yun asked curiously.

“This time Ergou went to the Jiang Region and suppressed those restless people. The higher-ups were very pleased and specially awarded Ergou a Special Merit Medal. You can ask him yourself when he returns; he didn’t specifically explain the details to me.” Mr. Song said.

“Whoa, a Special Merit Medal?” Song Yun asked in surprise, knowing what it represented—the highest military achievement. His father achieved such a high military feat in less than a week; was it possible he wiped out the troublesome leaders in the Jiang Region?

“Indeed, your dad’s task completion this time was very outstanding, even the higher-ups are extremely satisfied!” Mr. Song said with a smile.

As the conversation continued, Song Mei Qin’s face was somewhat somber. She glanced at Song Dong, who was still half asleep. Then Song Mei Qin picked up her phone and kept pressing it, unsure what she was doing.

About ten minutes later, there was a commotion outside the main hall.

Soon, a towering figure appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Song Ergou appeared before everyone carrying a large canvas bag single-handedly, wearing the same smile as Song Yun, except his face was much darker than before, and his body was covered in dust. It seemed this week was tough for Song Ergou, especially with a knife scar about six or seven centimeters long on his neck; it already had a scab, apparently, it’s not a big issue.

“I’m back!” Song Ergou stood at the entrance of the main hall and said with a smile, his voice resonant like a bell.

“Dad!” Song Yun called out joyfully.

“Haha, son, did you miss me?” Song Ergou walked up to Song Yun with a smile and asked.

“Of course, but Mom missed you the most!” Song Yun replied with a smile.

Ye Qingsi stood beside Song Ergou and said, “You’ve worked hard!”

“Yes, it was expected!”
