In Yuhui Garden Community on Lihua Avenue in Longkou District, Auntie Ba didn't rush home after buying groceries early in the morning. Instead, she was in the community's fitness park, holding a handful of sunflower seeds and chatting with others:
"...Old Ren's family is really making a splash now. Their son has found a powerful connection!"
"His son? What powerful connection? That silly ranking list is just something young people look at for fun; it's useless! And what does his son do at the academy again... Oh right, the school doctor! See, that's nothing—neither administrative nor teaching. It's just a dead-end job with a fixed salary, no future at all."
"But the girlfriend his son found is something else! Ever heard of the Tactical Bureau? It's the hottest new department in the government! His son's girlfriend, TSK TSK TSK, is the deputy director of the Lianjiang City Countermeasures Bureau. Impressive, right?"
