Chapter 270: Chapter 234: The Person Behind the Scenes_2 Director Shu: “If you don’t mind, could you tell me your address? I want to stop by and ask, because I have to leave tomorrow.” Qin Yu: “There’s no need to ask, my decision... they all agree with it.” At worst, I’ll just get a beating from my older brother... that’s not a big deal. Director Shu pondered, “Why don’t we go see for ourselves! Otherwise, I’ll keep worrying about this.” Before Qin Yu could speak, Principal Du made the decision for him, “Well, that settles it. We’ll go to Qin Yu’s house right now to see what his parents think.” What does a child know? As long as his family agrees, it’s fine. Director Shu shared the same opinion. “All right, let’s go now. The school should have his home address.” Qin Yu’s eyes widened: “...” I mean, I’m still here, don’t you need my agreement? Teacher Li, seeing his resistant expression, suggested, “Qin Yu, this matter is significant. Let the principal and Director Shu ask your family before making a decision. You go back to class; they’ll go on their own.” As for her... there was no need to accompany them; after all, the principal was enough. Qin Yu pursed his lips, feeling not only reluctant but also a bit unhappy. Seeing their insistence on visiting, he reluctantly said: “My sister-in-law happens to be in the town. If you’re going, I should take you there.” He needed to express his thoughts to his sister-in-law himself. Otherwise, with him absent, who knows if they could persuade her! That wouldn’t do. Principal Du was surprised to hear this: “Isn’t your family in the Qin Family Team?” Then he remembered Mr. Rong was a capable man; it wasn’t strange for him to be in the town. Without waiting for Qin Yu to explain, he immediately added, “Since your sister-in-law is in town, that’s even better. We’ll go find her right now. Teacher Li, remember to give him a leave slip.” Teacher Li hastily responded: “Sure.” Principal Du looked at Qin Yu: “Qin Yu, let’s go! Lead the way.” “Okay.” Qin Yu had no choice but to lead the way. When they arrived at the courtyard, Rong Yan had just sent off Captain Lu not long ago, so she was somewhat surprised to see Qin Yu return... accompanied by Principal Du and two other strangers. “Qin Yu, why are you back?” “Sister-in-law, these people are teachers from Jing City Sports School, they want me to go with them.” After Qin Yu finished speaking, he glanced at his sister-in-law’s expression, fearing she might agree on the spot, he quickly added, “Sister-in-law, I don’t want to go, but they insist that I can’t decide for myself and had to come back to find you.” Rong Yan:... She was somewhat astonished. Director Shu: “Hello, are you Qin Yu’s sister-in-law? Here’s the thing, we happened to see Qin Yu running very fast yesterday, he’s a promising sprinter. Now, as we are rebuilding in every respect, sports included, we hope to nurture such talents for the country’s future contribution...” Rong Yan digested the information and grasped the meaning behind his words, “This does sound like a good opportunity.” Upon hearing this response from his sister-in-law, Qin Yu became anxious, “Sister-in-law, I don’t want to go... please don’t agree.” Rong Yan looked at his flustered face, “Actually, you could become a champion runner in the future, even a national celebrity... don’t you want that?” Qin Yu replied decisively, “I don’t want it.” Rong Yan raised an eyebrow. Seeing his firm expression, she turned to the sports school’s Director Shu, “How about this, I’ll discuss it with his older brother and get back to you at the school tomorrow morning, is that okay?” Director Shu nodded, “That’s fine.” He also noticed the child’s reluctance, so he was willing to wait a bit longer. Maybe with some persuasion from the family, the child might change his mind. “Then we shall take our leave.” Rong Yan nodded slightly, “Goodbye!” Then she turned to Qin Yu: “Aren’t you going to school?” Qin Yu:... Is there such a rush? And besides, aren’t you going to persuade me to agree? “All right, I’ll go to school then.” Rong Yan: “Okay, if you want to come back for lunch, you can.” After all, it’s close by. Qin Yu immediately shook his head, “No, I brought my lunch.” In the morning, his aunt had prepared his lunch box; not eating it... would have been a waste. As soon as Rong Yan heard this, she didn’t insist, “All right.” Qin Yu quickly walked out. After watching him leave, Rong Yan closed the door. Actually, it would have been good if Qin Yu had gone to the sports school, but since he disagreed... they could discuss it again in the evening. Today, she would give him a day to think it over. When Qin Ye came back at noon to cook, Rong Yan told him about what happened in the morning. After giving the rundown, she asked, “What do you think about this?” “This matter depends on him. If he doesn’t want to, then let him be,” Qin Ye wasn’t too concerned. Anyway, if there was no way out in the east, there was a way out in the west; a person couldn’t be choked to death by their own pee. Rong Yan:... So she asked a question that was doomed to be lonely. “I reckon he’s worried about Qin Mei. This kid is so protective of Qin Mei at school. After what happened yesterday, he is even less likely to leave Qin Mei alone.” The siblings were twins, and coupled with the hardships they had faced since childhood, their bond was deeper than most could understand. Qin Ye probably didn’t weigh as heavily in Qin Yu’s heart... as Qin Mei did. Qin Ye nodded, “That’s part of it. Let’s not bother him. If he wants to go, he will go; if he doesn’t, let him decide. He’s not that young anymore, he knows how to choose.” Rong Yan:... Qin Ye brought up another subject, “By the way, wife, I need to head over to the agricultural machinery station this afternoon. I might be late coming home tonight because we have to go down to the village to fix a tractor in the afternoon. You should have dinner at the state-owned restaurant; the chef there cooks pretty good food. Don’t worry about the money, you can order a few more dishes.” “Okay, I got it. No need to worry about that.” She still had food in her space. She wouldn’t go hungry. At noon, Qin Ye did cook and made three dishes. Since the Tie Family insisted on bringing their own food, he didn’t need to cook for them. After the meal, Qin Ye washed the dishes before leaving. After watching Qin Ye leave, Tie Zhu’s wife couldn’t help but sigh to Rong Yan, “Brother Qin Ye really is terrific! You probably can’t find a better man in the entire town. Rong Yan, you’re truly blessed.” Going to work and still coming back to cook, and even washing the dishes... this man was truly exceptional. Rong Yan:... Qin Ye was quite good, but she was also very good and excellent, wasn’t she? Being with her should also be considered Qin Ye’s good fortune. & Qin Ye went to the agricultural machinery station, where Mr. Hu was already waiting for him. “Qin Ye, you finally came. Let’s hurry up! Otherwise, it’ll be too late, and we’ll have to make our way back in the dark.” Their destination was Li Family’s Team, which was some distance from the town. It would take two hours just to cycle there, mainly because the mountain road there was difficult to navigate. And all the tractors that were operational at their station had been taken away, so they had no choice but to cycle there. “Mm.” Qin Ye nodded his head, then helped to pick up the repair tool kit and secure it to the rear seat of the bicycle. They grabbed everything they needed and didn’t waste any more time. Cycling, they set off. In Jing City, Xu Ke learned that the girl hadn’t been taken, and instead, the hideout of the traffickers was nearly raided by the police. This infuriated her. “Useless idiots, can’t even handle a little girl.” They hadn’t taken away the older one, and the younger one had been found. This was just too incompetent. She then turned to the man in front of her, her face filled with concern, “Those people have been caught; will the police be able to trace them back to us?” The man shook his head, “Don’t worry, they can’t track anything back to us. Plus, we didn’t show our faces; no one will know it was us.” “Really?” Xu Ke was still very uneasy. “Of course it’s true. I’ve thought it all through; they won’t be able to connect it to us.”
