Three days later, Ji Shiyi arrived with two suitcases.
Li Zhengguo arranged everything, assigning the new assistants from the two villages to Zhou Chengbin and Zhang Shitóu.
He drove the car as his wife's chauffeur, intending to take the opportunity to see the special training camp, something he had wanted to do for a long time but never had the chance.
Tian Jing had no intention of bringing Ji Shiyi in through the back mountain.
Therefore, driving out was a must.
It took two days for the car to finally reach the main entrance of the deep mountain camp.
Tian Jing showed her identification, and the guards still had to question Li Zhengguo and Ji Shiyi.
Tian Jing explained to the guards, "This driver is my husband, the father of Li Weihao and Li Weibo."
"This lady is here to work with me. She needs a job. Once she's in, she won't be leaving without Captain Zeng's permission."
Ji Shiyi became a little nervous. Would Tian Jing sell her out?
The large compound in the deep mountains, and the guards at the entrance, looked like a place of confinement.
She quickly tried to text her father, but there was no signal. It was over!
Tian Jing held back the flustered Ji Shiyi, urging her not to cause any trouble. She needed to enter quietly.
The guards reported to Zeng Jingrong about Captain Tian bringing people in.
Zeng Jingrong, who was busy outside, approved it directly upon receiving the report:
"From now on, you don't need to report to me about matters arranged by Captain Tian. She understands the team's rules. Her husband has three identities and is perfectly fine to enter."
The car was parked outside the compound, and the three of them entered with their suitcases.
As soon as they entered, Ji Shiyi became even more frightened. Such a large compound, encompassing three mountains, could completely confine someone for a lifetime.
She wanted to turn back, but Tian Jing grabbed her:
"Shiyi, for love, you only have this much courage?"
"Tian, Tian Jing," Ji Shiyi's voice trembled slightly. "I know I wasn't polite to you when we first met. You, you wouldn't be this ruthless, right?"
"Pfft!"
Tian Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her husband had analyzed that Ji Shiyi was truly fearless.
"Shiyi, didn't you tell your father you were coming with me to find Jingrong?"
"I did," Ji Shiyi nodded. "I thought my dad was quite happy."
Tian Jing raised an eyebrow, "Didn't your dad tell you about my identity?"
"He did," Ji Shiyi continued to nod. "You're Village Chief Li's wife, and the Village Chief is with us now."
Tian Jing's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Then what are you afraid of? If your dad can't find you, he'll find Village Chief Li."
Ji Shiyi paused, then nodded, "You're right. My dad will save me."
"Hahaha." Tian Jing couldn't hold it in anymore. "Shiyi, this is a special place. Ordinary people can't get out once they enter, unless they have a special status."
"Once you're in, just say your surname is Shi. All other information will be kept confidential for now. I'll arrange work for you first. Don't worry, if you stay here, you'll definitely wait for Jingrong."
"However, you must sign a contract to work. You have to stay for at least a year. Trust me, if you don't leave your workplace, Jingrong will definitely come looking for you every day."
"Really?"
Hearing Tian Jing's last sentence, Ji Shiyi happily forgot her earlier worries and the contract.
Tian Jing nodded, "Really."
As long as Zeng Jingrong was at the camp, he would have to eat in the cafeteria and would definitely see Ji Shiyi...
It was past mealtime, and only a few people were eating scattered in the cafeteria.
Tian Jing called out from the entrance, "Wang Xin."
Wang Xin, who was looking down and chopping vegetables, suddenly looked up, "Captain Tian?"
Tian Jing beckoned to her, "Come out for a moment."
Putting down her knife, Wang Xin wiped her hands, untied her apron, and jogged out of the cafeteria. "Captain Tian, how come you're here... Village Chief Li is here too?"
Li Zhengguo gave a soft hum, acknowledging the greeting.
Tian Jing pointed to Ji Shiyi and introduced her to Wang Xin, "This beautiful lady's surname is Shi. She needs a job, and I'm assigning her to you for now."
"Captain Zeng will pay her salary. Make sure to remind Captain Zeng when it's payday."
Wang Xin nodded vigorously, "Captain Tian, don't worry. I'll definitely help her get familiar with the work environment."
"Good," Tian Jing said, satisfied. "Take her to get settled first. I'll go print a work contract and be right back. You can tell her about the rules and regulations here."
"Okay."
Wang Xin reached out to pull a suitcase for Ji Shiyi, "Sister Shi, follow me."
Ji Shiyi looked at Tian Jing.
Tian Jing smiled and waved, "Don't be afraid. After you hear about this place from Wang Xin, you'll feel at ease. You'll understand why your dad was so confident."
Only then did Ji Shiyi turn and follow Wang Xin with her suitcase.
After the two of them turned the corner by the cafeteria wall, Tian Jing took her husband to the administrative building.
The administrative building had only two floors, and her office was on the second.
She found the deputy captain's office, but the lock wouldn't open.
She located the secretary's office according to the doorplate.
In the secretary's office, there was only a sweet-looking young woman.
Upon learning that the beautiful woman before her was Deputy Captain Tian, she was greatly disappointed.
"Captain Tian, you're a woman?"
Tian Jing didn't understand, "What's wrong?"
The secretary's face was full of disappointment. "I've admired the mysterious deputy captain for a long time. In my imagination, the deputy captain should be a tall, handsome, and gentle young man."
"I spent a lot of time meticulously dressing myself every day, hoping that one day, when the deputy captain suddenly appeared, he would be stunned by my beauty and fall in love with me at first sight."
Tian Jing... This secretary was too deeply immersed in fantasy, she couldn't be saved.
She slapped the corner of the desk with her hand, her tone stern, "Open the door for me quickly, and bring me a staff entry contract!"
The secretary, who had been standing with her arms crossed lost in fantasy, saw the chipped corner of the desk. She quickly apologized to Tian Jing, then lowered her head to open a drawer, took out the key, and then took out several A4 papers.
"Captain Tian, here is the contract. I'll open the door for you, please follow me."
After opening the door, the secretary stepped back, letting Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo enter first, then stood by the door and said,
"I clean this office every morning. Please sit down first, I'll go make tea."
"Thank you."
Tian Jing's tone returned to the gentleness she had shown at first.
The secretary couldn't believe that Captain Tian was a gentle person. These were not ordinary people here. She had been lost in her own fantasy for too long.
"You're welcome. Please go ahead."
After the secretary respectfully withdrew, Li Zhengguo asked his wife why she was angry. He had heard the sound of slapping the desk.
Tian Jing told her husband about the secretary's behavior, "If I hadn't gotten angry, would she wake up? She reads too many novels."
Li Zhengguo pointed outside, "On this floor, it seems only the secretary's office and the records room have people. If they're bored, won't they read novels?"
Tian Jing glanced at him and looked down at the contract, "Let's see which parts need to be changed and which clauses need to be added to keep Ji Shiyi at the cafeteria for a year."
Li Zhengguo leaned in, and the couple looked through the contract together...
A "knock knock knock" sound came from the door. The secretary brought the tea.
Tian Jing handed the revised contract to the secretary and asked her to print three copies.
When the secretary returned after printing the contracts, she hesitated.
Tian Jing waved her hand, "Don't tell Captain Zeng about this yet. I'll inform him after I've made all the arrangements."
