After leaving the wealthy family, the fake daughter became a sensation around the world

Chapter 1036 The Big Tree Has Fallen, Time to Retreat

I overslept today.

Director Li knew that she stayed at the Song family's house until midnight last night, so it wasn't Shen Lu's fault.

"You, I've heard from others that you were comforting Song Kezhen last night?"

It wasn't just to comfort Song Kezhen.

The main reason was that Song Kezhen wanted an outlet for her emotions, so she kept talking to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu listened attentively, occasionally greeting acquaintances.

Although she hasn't graduated yet, she's already made a name for herself in the medical system.

Many patients highly recommend her, so now quite a few people know her.

Upon discovering that Shen Lu was also connected to the Song family, those people remarked that the young girl was making steady progress.

He doesn't seek excessive fame, nor is he arrogant or impatient, but his abilities are truly undeniable.

"Someone asked me here, asking if I was the wife that Lao Song chose for Song Hanzhang."

Director Li joked.

Shen Lu was surprised: "Wasn't I talking to Song Kezhen the whole time?"

How could people misunderstand that Song Hanzhang and I have that kind of relationship?

What would happen if Lu Xingye found out?

He has to announce our relationship to the world, doesn't he?

"You were talking to Song Kezhen the whole time, but you also greeted Song Hanzhang."

"The key point is that the two deans and their wives from the Song family both treated you privately."

The two members of the Song family, Song Hanzhang's father is the president of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

Song Kezhen's father is the vice dean of the medical school.

Both of them are very important figures.

Why should they treat a young girl alone?

So some people speculated that Shen Lu might be the daughter-in-law that Old Master Song had chosen for his grandson.

Many people have taken a liking to Shen Lu's medical skills.

People who didn't know she had a fiancé were now eager to make their move.

Old Song has passed away. Regardless of why the accident happened, he's gone, and that's that.

The granddaughter-in-law he has his eye on must be the best. Can we snatch her away?

There was more than one person who wanted to take it, so some people came to Director Li for help.

Shen Lu: "..." I never imagined that I would be fought over in this way.

"Didn't you say that I already had a fiancé?"

Director Li laughed heartily: "I told them, but they didn't believe me. They even considered trying to have their children or grandchildren try to poach my husband."

Shen Lu looked up at the ceiling: "Forget it, President Lu isn't a good-tempered person."

Director Li knew, of course, that Lu Xingye was not someone to be trifled with.

But his old buddies didn't know that.

Song Hanzhang arrived late today, but Shen Lu managed to come over after having lunch.

It was almost three o'clock when Song Hanzhang arrived.

Upon meeting Shen Lu, he first inquired about Ms. Jiang's situation.

"I gave her acupuncture today, and she's better than yesterday."

"Although he still speaks a little unclearly, he is no longer confused."

If a person is confused, their testimony is invalid.

Therefore, it is beneficial for people to be clear-headed now.

While Ms. Jiang's condition is improving every day, Wang Weimin's situation is becoming increasingly difficult.

Because Wang Weimin was imprisoned, those who had been attached to him were purged one by one.

Those with problems were arrested, while those with minor issues were transferred out of their original departments.

Wang Weimin is a big tree; if you want to uproot him, all the saplings he shelters must also be cleared away.

The Chen family, located far away in Yucheng, belonged to the forces that were dependent on Wang Weimin.

Upon learning of Wang Weimin's arrest, Deputy Secretary Chen turned pale.

Over the years, he has weathered all sorts of storms, and now, it's uncertain whether he can even protect himself.

So, Deputy Secretary Chen submitted an application to the higher authorities.

Just when everyone was speculating that he might be promoted, the deputy secretary applied for retirement.

"My health has deteriorated, and the Chen Yan incident has also had an impact."

"I will step down so that the police can handle the case impartially."

"I meant well but messed things up. If I hadn't introduced the two kids to each other, maybe none of this would have happened."

"So, do you think the higher-ups have approved my retirement?"

Does the higher-ups not know what Deputy Secretary Chen means?

He heard rumors that the authorities might be purging Wang's faction, so he decided to retire while he was still at the peak of his career.

At Chen's age, he could still be promoted.

But it's not impossible to withdraw.

Internally, they definitely want to save face for him, but only if they can't find anything serious about him.

If they find out, don't even think about retiring; you might end up in jail!

The leader pressed down on the written application: "Old Chen, I see you're in pretty good health. Don't back down because of the child."

"Besides, you only sponsored this child and were just trying to help him find a partner."

"How things turned out the way they were, what does that have to do with you?"

"Some kids are like that, they're too eager for quick success and instant benefits, that's how it is in today's society..."

The old leader spoke earnestly, but didn't mention approving his retirement, so Deputy Secretary Chen knew what was going on.

Is this because they know Wang Weimin has fallen, and they want to use this connection to drag me down with them?

Previously, I had many disagreements with this leader, but because I had strong backing, he was able to control the leader.

Now the boss is showing no mercy and wants to crush me!

As soon as Deputy Secretary Chen left, it felt like falling into an ice cave.

The leader then made an appointment with Yan Shan.

"Yan Shan, how is Xiao Rui recovering lately?" The person first inquired about Yan Rui's condition.

Yan Shan's expression became less serious.

When his daughter was mentioned, his face softened with tenderness: "Much better."

"My daughter has had a tough time. I'm already content that she's survived."

When Yan Shan mentioned his daughter, he couldn't help but say a few more words about her.

"Deputy Secretary Chen is involved in this matter. What do you think?"

The leader asked a very direct question.

Yan Shan, however, was very cautious: "To say that I have no resentment at all is definitely impossible. I only have one daughter."

“My daughter said she didn’t want to talk about it, fearing that Secretary Chen would misunderstand, so I called Secretary Chen to explain that the two children have incompatible personalities and can’t talk to each other.”

"But later Chen Yan continued to harass my daughter, and even did that kind of thing, which made me feel uneasy."

"But the Party Secretary is my superior and has helped me before; he didn't have any bad intentions."

"This matter should have nothing to do with him."

"He wants to retire now, saying he's not feeling well and wants to rest," the leader added.

Yan Shan raised an eyebrow slightly, recalling the message he received last night.

Not surprising.

With his backers all gone, Secretary Chen is very good at assessing the situation.

When he proposed to withdraw at this point, he must have genuinely wanted to withdraw.

"Isn't Secretary Chen in good health?" Yan Shan asked, puzzled. "Could it be because of me..."

"If it's because of Chen Yan, it's not worth it."

"Secretary Chen is doing this for our own good, how could I not know?"

"It's just that my Rui Rui is unlucky."

I met a man who was like a lunatic.

"Secretary Chen's children are all very well-mannered. This nephew must have been sent abroad to study and then returned."

"I heard that it was Secretary Chen who funded my studies abroad."

“He picked up bad habits abroad, so it can’t be blamed on Secretary Chen.”
