Ming Mei said, "So today is my last day on the bus?"
Section Chief Liu nodded with a smile: "Yes, it is. Report to the office tomorrow and do your best."
Ming Mei nodded: "I understand."
She pretended to sigh, saying, "Once I'm there, no one will look out for me."
Old Section Chief chuckled: "What are you talking about? You're familiar with everyone here; you don't need me to look out for you. Besides, I'll retire in three months, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't."
Ming Mei was curious: "Who will take over your position when you retire?"
Old Section Chief said, "My youngest son. Oh, don't mention it; it's been a mess."
With many children, disputes were inevitable.
Although his older sons had jobs, their wives didn't, and they all wanted the position. Even his married daughters wanted it. But he couldn't give it to anyone else. It wasn't that he was biased; it was because if he didn't give it to his youngest son, he would have to go to the countryside.
