Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 487: 487 at home

Miao Xiaotong returned to the art troupe and immediately looked for Yu Haibin.

”Captain, did you approve my application?”

”Here you go, have you really thought it through?”

”Yes, Captain, I’ve thought it through. I want to be someone capable.

It’s not that the art troupe isn’t good; I just feel it’s not suitable for me.

I think I should become a doctor. Suddenly, that feels particularly fulfilling.”

”Alright, no matter what you do, it’s a contribution to the country and the people. Perform well.”

This girl has really grown up. To be able to reach this point, the training was worth it.

It’s not just her; everyone is changing. Nobody expected this initially.

After completing his tasks, Wang Dabiao started to feel bored. The leader had left, the tasks were all assigned, and because of his shortsightedness, he became an instructor for a month without having a task for himself. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it.

Only himself to blame, why did he have to be so foolish? No wonder the other team members kept laughing at him; they were waiting for him all along. It’s really annoying.

”Leader, are there any tasks for me?”

”Stay behind. But no leave is allowed.”

Tan Shaoting left. It’s really hard to call the shots here. Maintaining the status quo seems best.

It’s not that he lacks ambition or the desire to rise up. It’s just that he knows his own limitations.

Previously, there wasn’t even an assistant here. Now, it’s only because Tan Shaoting needs to accompany the leader outside that I’m here to watch over things. Li Changmao knows his place.

”Leader, also about that language training task, I’ll take it on.”

”Addicted to being an instructor now?”

Wang Dabiao hurriedly shook his head. ”No, it’s just uncomfortable to stay idle.”

”That’s all. You’re responsible for inspecting the logistics.”

”Logistics?”

Wang Dabiao, of course, had no objections, with nothing better to do, he might as well keep busy.

Miao Xiaotong took her introduction letter to the hospital.

Calling it a hospital is a bit of a stretch, considering that her mom and just three other doctors and five nurses work there.

Their family had already discussed it, deciding against becoming a nurse. Since she wanted to study medicine, it would be best to directly study to be a doctor, especially with her mom’s support. With dedication, it’s possible.

Actually, Miao Zhongshan and his wife didn’t think their young woman was suited to be a doctor mainly because she was timid.

But since their daughter was willing, they didn’t stop her. Why not let her give it a try?

Starting today, Miao Xiaotong embarked on a state of learning, the good relationship with Sun Yanhua proved helpful. She was willing to teach her.

Miao Xiaotong’s progress was noticeable and after starting to study medicine, the simple young girl became more composed.

Wang Dabiao inspected logistics. He was very detail-oriented, so his inspections were particularly thorough.

Despite looking rough and sturdy, he was actually a meticulous thinker.

He quickly spotted irregularities. However, this was from the past. The leader must have known, making it hard to address.

He kept the issue in mind without publicizing it, waiting for the leader to return.

He had complete faith in Tan Shaoting, an admiration for the strong.

Cao Jinling received word that Wang Dabiao had gone for a logistics check and felt a bit uneasy.

Given this month-long observation of Wang Dabiao, he’s someone with no room for leniency. If things aren’t handled properly, it could spell trouble.

Although her father was struggling right now, he would eventually improve with time.

But if a problem truly cropped up, it’d be hard to deal with.

In her anxiety, she took leave from the garrison.

Upon returning home, she saw her mom knitting a sweater?

”Mom, when will Dad be home?”

”He gets off work at the usual time. Why? Why are you so tanned?” she asked. Her daughter had always been worried about tanning when trying to get into the art troupe.

Cao Jinling shook her head; telling her would be useless, it would only be telling on herself.

”Xiao Ling, look at this sweater I’m knitting for the children. I like this color. Now that we’ve left the garrison, going anywhere is much easier.

I bought it for you when I went to the building.”

”It’s beautiful. Mom, I’m going to buy some daily necessities.”

”Go on, here’s some money.”

Cao Jinling left home and headed straight to the building; she needed to prepare some daily supplies, especially for their art troupe.

After the training session, everyone had tanned quite a bit, and they needed to regain their complexion.

So she didn’t mind spending over ten bucks on face cream. Although she felt the pinch, she thought of her face—was there anything more precious?

Upon leaving the building, she saw her father pass by with a man on a bike but they didn’t notice her.

Cao Jinling didn’t mind and headed straight home.

This house had been bought long ago and had been vacant for many years.

Now, it was finally put to use. She knew her father was now depressed and unrecognized in the new unit.

Although this was normal, her father just couldn’t come to terms with it.

She waited for her dad to return home, needing to let him know about this matter.

When Cao Mingjun returned after work, he saw his young woman was back.

”Xiao Ling?”

”Dad, I have something to tell you.”

Cao Mingjun nodded, and the pair headed to the inner room.

”Dad, this Wang Dabiao is a simple guy, single-minded, but if he finds any issue during his inspection...”

The uncertainty Cao Mingjun felt in the afternoon disappeared after hearing this news, solidifying his decision.

Cao Jinling didn’t return that night because it was too late.

The father and daughter had dinner together in the study.

”Xiao Ling, I’ve decided to collaborate with that side.”

”Dad, that’s too risky.”

Cao Mingjun sighed, ”There’s no way around it now.

Nobody looked into these matters before, so it was fine.

But if they really investigate, I need to leave myself a way out.”

Cao Jinling didn’t know what to say as she wasn’t sensitive to these issues.

The next day, she got up early to take the bus to work.

Frankly, she didn’t even know why she was persisting.

She wasn’t happy in the art troupe. Especially after her father left, it became more apparent. Maybe she held out a glimmer of hope, wishing for some kind of outcome with Tan Shaoting?

From a young age, she knew as a beautiful girl, she was supposed to find someone capable.

Tan Shaoting fulfilled all her fantasies.

Good looking, capable, skillful. That’s why she became infatuated.

Upon arriving at the garrison, she was distracted all day. If her father really went through with it, there would truly be no possibility with Tan Shaoting. So she was against her father’s decision.

Suddenly, she thought of consulting Wang Dabiao.

But she quickly got dispirited. After the one-month training session, she realized this smiling-face tiger was actually crafty and ruthless, was really scared to approach. She harbored a fear for him, as he made no distinction between male and female in his mind.
