Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Song Yun, brother, you are really too good. To have met you in this life must mean I did something great in my last one!"

Yuan Siyi threw herself into Song Yun's arms and cooed.

"Silly girl, do you know that your sister Qing Qing noticed something was off with you a long time ago? She just didn't ask directly because she was considering your feelings. I just got home today, and she told me to have a good talk with you."

"We're all your family, and you should tell us your troubles instead of keeping them bottled up inside. It makes you suffer, and it's hard for us to watch. Just this once, not again, okay?" Song Yun said as he patted her back.

"I got it~"

"It's still early, let's rest for a bit. The trip back and forth today has worn me out..."

Yuan Siyi immediately stood up and started to massage Song Yun's shoulders when she heard this.

"No, no, I'm just too tired, I need to take a nap. Will you join me?"

"Sure."

Yuan Siyi innocently followed Song Yun upstairs, but in the end, Song Yun came down refreshed, while Yuan Siyi slept more soundly than anyone.

"Oh, back already?"

Song Bu was engrossed in a stack of documents. He saw Song Yun coming down from upstairs and said indifferently, "Old Master Ouyang has already told me about your recent activities. You've done well."

"Heh, it was all right. Just a bit of missing intelligence, nothing serious."

Song Yun cheerfully sat next to his father and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah, you little rascal have dumped a real mess on me!" Discover exclusive content at empire

Song Bu closed the file, pinched the bridge of his nose, and slowly closed his eyes. "These are all recent updates from the Grey Deer Research Institute. They have some errors in their data that I need to help fix. I've been so busy these days that my feet barely touch the ground."

"That's just more work for the capable. There are so many people in the world, why do they come to you if not because you are better in this field than anyone else?"

Song Yun complimented while massaging Song Bu's shoulders, "Dad, how far along are they in their progress now?"

"That stage?"

Song Bu scoffed, "Only the leader has some skill; the rest have no creativity or imagination. At this rate, it'll be good if they can barely get started in three years!"

"Three years! That long?"

Song Yun asked in disbelief, "I gave them everything they wanted, even transferred people from other institutes to help them. How could they possibly need so much time!"

"If you're on the wrong path, it won't matter if it's three years or three hundred, you might never find your way back."

"Ultimately, this thing is still somewhat groundbreaking. When I first suggested the final effectiveness of these drugs, their first reaction was that it couldn't be possible! Then there were biologists saying things like: Ah, even if the human body has infinite potential, can this really cause genetic mutations or dissolution?

They also said that what we are doing is akin to releasing a monster, claiming that when the project succeeds, countless people will die because of this 'monster.'"

"Damn, it's so irritating; I feel sick just repeating these words now!"

Song Bu took deep breaths to calm himself.

"Damn it, with so much money funneled to them every month, is it just for them to squander? If they don't know how to solve problems, all they do is bark all day. Any constructive suggestion gets blocked by those people in the name of safety! I'm so pissed. I'm just researching an auxiliary drug, not poisoning anyone!"

"Calm down, calm down."

Song Yun said with a placating smile.

He hadn't anticipated the research institute to be mired in so many issues; he thought with sufficient funds and bonuses, people would just get their heads down and work hard.

But it seemed things weren't going as smoothly as he hoped.

"You've just spoiled those people, giving them the illusion that without you, the project would grind to a halt!"

Song Bu criticized, "Next, I'll specifically look for a few HR personnel, to have a good talk with these people about these issues. Now that they've stepped into the whirlpool of money, they should not be dreaming of any lofty pride!"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, I think the same way. After all, if I put in the money and you do the work, it's good for everyone, but if someone wants to gain without working, based on their seniority, I'm the first to disagree!"

Song Yun said earnestly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these upsettng things. I heard that yesterday you guys put on quite a show in Forty-nine City, you seem to have a bit of a heroic spirit, kid,"

Song Bu teased.

"That's all following your lead!"

Song Yun said with a laugh.

"Tell me about what happened on your trip, I saw a hint of it in the briefing."

"Even if you didn't ask, I would still tell you..."

Song Yun gave Song Bu a comprehensive report on the mission, and after listening, Song Bu fell into deep thought.

"Ah, these hidden families are like flies that won't go away. Ignore them, and they must come over to find some sense of presence, but if you really want to arm-wrestle with them, these bastards turn tail and run—tough to deal with!"

Chomping on his words, Song Bu said, "After these events, I believe they've already caught the attention of some concerned parties, and they definitely won't allow these hidden families to continue causing trouble like this."

"Hmm, after all, these hidden families are like societal parasites, madly drawing society's blood, yet incapable of giving back."

Song Yun, chin in hand, said, "I hope those above will take some tough measures this time, so we can also get some rest."

As father and son were chatting, the rest of the family returned home one after another.

Today, Song Yun himself cooked a lavish dinner.

After the meal, Song Yun went to the study to handle some work matters.

While he was proofreading documents, Huang Baoding knocked and entered.

"President Song, here is the material you asked for."

Song Yun did not even lift his head, just grunted in acknowledgment and continued working.

About half an hour later, having dealt with the internal issues of the group, Song Yun took a cigarette and picked up the materials placed aside.

"Wow, this kid doesn't seem like any good stuff."

Song Yun was somewhat shocked at the recent actions of Yuan Siyi's cousin as detailed in the materials.

This kid, it's not just taking a hundred thousand from Yuan Siyi, even ten more wouldn't cover his holes.

Because this kid got hooked on gambling!

It's the vice that can ruin a person and their family the fastest!

Song Yun was also very disappointed.

"He's already in debt by so much! Si Yi mentioned that her uncle's family is just an ordinary one. If this time bomb suddenly goes off, that household is bound to fall apart!"

Song Yun sighed softly to himself.

This kid really is a disappointment!

How should he go about correcting the other party?

As the saying goes, tough times call for harsh punishments, Song Yun thought for a long time and then slapped the table, decision made!
