Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 489 - 205: Spent 1200 to Treat a Cold?_2

「The next day.」

「Jin City.」

「Nursing home.」

「Before nine o’clock.」

Qin Mu arrived at the nursing home as usual, ready to start his day’s work.

The case involving Meng Lei had finally concluded.

But within the nursing home, tales of Meng Lei were still being circulated.

Among the past defendants...

He might not have been the most outstanding.

But he was definitely the most popular in the nursing home.

Zhang Qingyuan and the others, when they had nothing better to do, would always mention Meng Lei a couple of times.

"Qin Mu, after discussion at the senior level of the nursing home, this month... you’ve been named the employee of the month again."

In the morning, the head of the nursing department found Qin Mu to notify him of the news.

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment.

He couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the reason this time?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

If he remembered correctly, he had already been the employee of the month for six consecutive months.

Even once...

He had taken half a month’s leave and slacked off every day, yet he was still given the title of employee of the month despite objections.

The leaders at the nursing home, he had no idea what got into them.

Moreover, every time they selected the employee of the month, they had to provide a reason.

The reasons he was chosen grew more bizarre each time.

The first month was because he arrived at the company punctually before nine o’clock every day, never late.

The second month was because he left work punctually after six o’clock every day, never leaving early.

The third month was because he worked overtime until seven o’clock one evening.

The fourth month was because he arrived at the nursing home at eight in the morning one day.

The fifth month...

All in all, the reason for his nomination each month was unique and extremely far-fetched.

So much so that the entire nursing home staff was speculating about his background.

"Ahem, this time it’s mainly because you introduced legal education as a new form of entertainment in the nursing home, creating a golden business card for the institution," the director said, his face flushing earnestly. "These past few days, more and more people have been choosing our nursing home..."

The reasons for the past few months were indeed a bit forced.

But the reason for this month’s nomination...

Was indeed well-deserved.

Take yesterday, for example. A live broadcast of a court hearing attracted a few seniors to stay.

This brand-new "entertainment program" not only met the residents’ needs for excitement and emotional catharsis but also provided an opportunity for them to learn.

The nursing home was even considering whether to broaden its advertising to attract more seniors with this "entertainment activity."

"Is that even possible?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu couldn’t help but have a few black lines appear on his forehead.

What the hell is a golden business card.

Attending court hearings started as Zhang Qingyuan and the others’ personal hobby.

Furthermore, with the various stimulating and outrageous aspects of many criminal cases...

The elderly residents had gradually joined in.

After all, those who end up in a criminal court are no simple characters.

But he had not expected that this activity of attending court hearings would develop into a signature feature of the nursing home.

And it had brought many "new customers" to the nursing home.

"Of course, this is also thanks to the Deputy Director’s strong recommendation," the director said, looking at Qin Mu with a complex expression.

These days, Meng Lei had become very famous within the nursing home.

Wan Zhongyuan, without fail, mingled with the elderly to watch every court session.

During the employee of the month meetings, Wan Zhongyuan, against all objections, continued to support Qin Mu.

And so, the title of "employee of the month" landed on Qin Mu once again.

Qin Mu: "..."

Among the nursing home’s leadership, Wan Zhongyuan had indeed not missed a single session.

Every time Qin Mu set up the screen and turned on the projector, he could see Wan Zhongyuan’s figure.

"Oh, by the way, the Deputy Director said, if you have time, you could go to his office. He has something to ask you," the director said at last, looking at Qin Mu with a strange expression.

What he relayed were Wan Zhongyuan’s exact words.

Indeed, Wan Zhongyuan had asked Qin Mu to see him "when he had time."

The tone was extremely polite, without any airs of authority, and very approachable.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu nodded. "I’ll go right away."

Wan Zhongyuan must have something important to discuss.

「Nursing home.」

「Deputy Director’s office.」

"Come in, Xiao Qin, have a seat."

Upon seeing Qin Mu, Wan Zhongyuan actively brewed a cup of tea for him and smiled.

"Deputy Director, what did you want to see me about?" Qin Mu asked directly as he sat down.

Having been reborn, he disliked beating around the bush or engaging in roundabout conversations.

"It’s like this. For the past few days, my wife... she keeps insisting on a divorce. She’s incessantly asking who Meng Lei is. No matter how much I explain, she won’t believe me..."

Bringing up this matter, the smile on Wan Zhongyuan’s face gradually faded, replaced by a worried expression.

Qin Mu was taken aback for a moment. "So, who is Meng Lei?" he couldn’t help but ask.

Wan Zhongyuan rolled his eyes. "Where did this Meng Lei come from?" he said with a wry smile. "Wasn’t it because we were watching Meng Lei’s case the other day? I suppose I was too engrossed and ended up talking in my sleep. My wife heard it."

"Now, she keeps asking who Meng Lei is, convinced that it must be a woman’s name."

"No matter how I explain, she won’t listen. She’s crying and demanding a divorce."

"And my darn son is stirring things up too..."

After Qin Mu heard the whole story, it took him quite a while to understand the cause and effect.

He couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Well, that’s bizarre. This is also quite strange.

Because of Meng Lei, a family conflict had erupted.

Qin Mu had also met Wan Zhongyuan’s son.

In the betrothal gift case, he had incessantly opposed Wan Zhongyuan over a woman.

He had almost gotten his legs broken by Wan Zhongyuan.
