The only consolation for Yu Xinyan was that the certificate was issued, but the schedule was tight that day, and Lyu Juncheng was in a hurry to go to work, so her household registration wasn't resolved.
She simply packed her luggage, besides a few sets of clothes to change into and her high school textbooks, there was also the five yuan secretly given by her foster father when she left home.
She skillfully tucked this meager five yuan close to her body, thinking to herself: she must quickly and decisively handle the matter with Lyu Juncheng, otherwise it will only become more complicated if it drags on.
She got up and left the guest house, heading towards the union building she remembered.
Only upon approaching did she realize that many people were busy moving things in and out, carrying items out the front door. She had no choice but to stand aside, thinking she'd let them go out first, and then go inside to find someone.
Unexpectedly, the old-fashioned desk they were carrying was not properly secured, and items fell out from inside. Yu Xinyan instinctively reached out to catch the falling items, resulting in her finger being cut by the cracked corner of the desk, and blood started flowing immediately.
The person carrying the desk was also startled; they didn't expect the items to fall out. The person behind felt guilty and said, "Comrade, your hand is bleeding, do you need to go to the employee hospital to bandage it?"
Yu Xinyan glanced at her injured and bleeding finger and quickly said, "It's fine, it's fine, just press it, it'll be okay soon."
Enduring the pain, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket to use for pressing to stop the bleeding. As everyone was busy watching her injured hand, nobody noticed that Yu Xinyan's blood dripped onto an inconspicuous black bead that had fallen out from the desk.
As Yu Xinyan took out her handkerchief, the bead turned into a ray of white light and shot into her fingertip at a speed too fast for anyone to notice.
Yu Xinyan only felt something flash by, then she felt a cool sensation entering her finger, but when she checked, she found nothing and assumed it was just her imagination.
At this moment, another staff member on the side suddenly interrupted: "Comrade, you look unfamiliar, do you have business here?"
Yu Xinyan casually replied, "I'm here to look for comrades from the union."
The person gave her a slightly odd look, thinking: Most people in the factory know that the little white building here is moving today, so why is this young lady looking for someone here?
But they kindly reminded her, "Comrade, business can't be done here today, the factory needs to repaint this small building, so it's temporarily moved to the bungalow across the street."
Upon learning the situation, Yu Xinyan felt a wave of dejection, thanked them, and turned to leave.
Not far away, she happened to run into Sister Tian from the hospital.
"Ah, Jun Cheng's wife, I just happened to run into you here. I found out at the hospital that you've been discharged, and was about to head to the family compound to look for you."
"Sister, thank you for taking care of me these days."
"Oh, your Jun Cheng is so close with my Old Tian, taking care of you is only right."
She smiled at Yu Xinyan, "Besides, our families live so close, we can be companions. There's plenty of time to get along, come, come, come, since you're discharged, you should still take care of yourself for a few days."
"No, Sister, I've booked a room at the factory's guest house to stay for a few days."
"Why waste that money? Besides, the children at home need someone to care for them, right?"
"Sister, I can't be with Lyu Juncheng."
Sister Tian was momentarily confused, "Jun Cheng's wife, what do you mean by that?"
