Don’t Interfere

“What's the word on the pharmaceutical factory?” Political Commissar Chen asked, his tone turning serious as he thought of something.

“What do you mean?” Lin Nannan asked, puzzled.

Seeing that she didn’t understand, Political Commissar Chen cut straight to the point: “The formula you previously provided to the pharmaceutical factory, which you were involved in, has been proven effective and is already in production. The sales are through the roof—it really works, and even our military unit uses it. However, the formulas you later sold to the factory have been hit or miss—some have been verified, while others have shown discrepancies. There's more to this.”

Lin Nannan frowned. “Are you suggesting… someone is targeting me?”

“Hard to tell. It’s possible, but it might not necessarily be aimed at you—it could be targeting the pharmaceutical factory,” Political Commissar Chen replied, shaking his head.

“Targeting the pharmaceutical factory?” Lin Nannan was confused. “Does someone want the factory to shut down?”

Political Commissar Chen pondered for a moment. “It’s not about shutting it down, but about not wanting it to operate within the military. It’s stepping on too many people's toes, especially since the medicines are so popular that they’re hard to come by. Do you understand?”

“As long as it’s not targeting me, then it’s just a power struggle at the top and has nothing to do with us,” Lin Nannan said with a laugh.

“But you have a stake in the pharmaceutical factory, so things aren't as straightforward as they look,” Political Commissar Chen said earnestly, seeing she was still a bit confused. “When you sold the formulas, it was a voluntary deal between both sides. In other words, the effectiveness of the formulas has nothing to do with you. It’s best if you don’t get involved in this matter, to avoid giving people ammunition against you in the future.”

Lin Nannan hadn’t thought that deeply about it, but that didn’t mean she was unaware. Political Commissar Chen’s words were clear enough—if she still didn’t understand, she’d have to be clueless.

“So you’re saying someone has their eye on the pharmaceutical factory and knows I have a stake in it. They want to use those formulas to pressure me, with the goal of kicking me out of the factory?” Lin Nannan asked bluntly.

“That’s a possibility. You should be careful. If there’s anything you’re unsure about, discuss it with Lu Hang when he returns before making any decisions,” Political Commissar Chen advised.

This was a well-intentioned reminder, and Political Commissar Chen had nothing to gain from it. Lin Nannan really appreciated it.

“Did something happen before?” Lin Nannan asked, figuring Political Commissar Chen wouldn't just bring this up out of nowhere. Something must have occurred to make him speak so seriously.

Political Commissar Chen found it amusing how perceptive she could be at times, yet so oblivious at others. It was quite a contradiction.

“Nothing major happened. It’s just that someone tried to reach you through Lu Hang. Lu Hang didn’t say anything and purposely kept your info under wraps, which made those people give up and prevented anyone in the military from recognizing you,” Political Commissar Chen explained.

Lin Nannan suddenly understood. “No wonder, since I returned, the people in the housing complex have been giving me weird looks. It seems Lu Hang never mentioned me these past two years.”

“He did it to protect you!” Political Commissar Chen added, worried she might misunderstand.

“I know. I won’t blame him!” Lin Nannan chuckled. I'm not that clueless. Besides, she wouldn’t blame Lu Hang even if she blamed anyone else—he hadn’t done anything wrong, so why would she blame him?

“Alright, you two, stop chatting. Dinner is ready,” Hu Zhaoxia said as she carried in the food, urging them to stop talking.

Political Commissar Chen and Lin Nannan both stood up and went to help set up and bring out the dishes.

“Wow, this rabbit and pheasant—did Nan Nan rustle these up from the mountains?” Political Commissar Chen teased, seeing the lavish spread on the table.
