There was a time when he was the most promising descendant in his family, having everything and excelling at everything. Everyone praised him for his achievements. However, the so-called most promising Li Jiaxian had now sold all his hard work to his niece. If it weren't for his niece, all his efforts would have been gradually swallowed by others.
Fate and circumstance...
With a sigh, he returned to the guest room to rest. Last night, he had explained the family situation in detail to his daughter and had finally managed to get her to accept it.
He had spent the entire night guiding her.
...
Zhu Guangyu nervously dialed Lin Xiao's number. The tank incident in Shashi had finally been completely resolved, and he had admitted his mistakes. However, Lin Xiao had not made any statement, and he could not rest easy as long as there was no decision.
The higher-ups had not yet indicated any intention to dismiss him, but...
Lin Xiao's words carried more weight than his direct superior. He was afraid that while the higher-ups might not deal with him, Lin Xiao might decide to have him fired.
He clearly remembered Lin Xiao's words that day.
Therefore, he could no longer hold back today and decided to call Lin Xiao. Whether it was life or death, he just wanted an answer, otherwise, this half-dead state was too agonizing!
Once the call was connected, he quickly exclaimed, "Brother Xiao..."
"What, is there something you can't solve that you need my help with?" Lin Xiao was surprised by the call. He hadn't asked Zhu Guangyu to do anything recently, nor had he heard of any incidents involving the National Security Bureau.
"No, no, of course not. Everything is fine here, business as usual." Zhu Guangyu quickly replied, "But Brother Xiao, regarding the incident where our National Security Bureau's oversight led to those people assembling tanks in Shashi, you said you would settle the score with me. I was afraid you might forget, so I called."
"Normally, at a time like this, most people would pretend to know nothing. As long as I don't call them, they won't bother me. You, on the other hand, are actively seeking punishment from me?"
Lin Xiao thought carefully upon hearing this. It was true that such an incident had occurred, but he couldn't understand if Zhu Guangyu was seeking death by actively approaching him to be punished.
"One should accept punishment for their mistakes. Stand at attention when being beaten," Zhu Guangyu quickly responded.
"Alright, as expected of someone from my Beijiang. You have backbone." Lin Xiao was in a good mood now. He had initially said he would punish Zhu Guangyu, but now he saw no reason to do so. "Here's what we'll do. Your leader should have already spoken to you. As your direct superior, he has no intention of demoting or transferring you, which means this matter can be considered concluded. If you genuinely feel remorse, you can choose to voluntarily request to work on the front lines for a few days."
"?!"
Zhu Guangyu had been prepared for the worst, expecting to be transferred. He never imagined that Lin Xiao would not punish him. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly replied, "Yes!"
"Alright, is that all regarding this matter? Have there been any other incidents in Shashi recently?"
Lin Xiao casually asked.
"Nothing for now, but I heard that Mr. Zhuge has returned."
