Chapter 12 Reporting to the Bureau

"The Cultural and Tourism Bureau is located next to the Education and Sports Bureau. How do you plan to get to work in the future?"

Zhou Junheng asked carefully and did not directly impose his will.

Then give two options: "Do you need a driver to take you there or do you want to drive yourself?"

"I can just drive over there myself. Only a director of this level of department is entitled to a driver. If I go... wow, the driver is wearing white gloves and an executive jacket. He opens the car door and the director and I look at each other, which is awkward."

“…If you don’t know me, you’d think I’m the director.”

Just thinking about that scene makes me feel overwhelmed.

Zhou Junheng was amused by her and thought of that scene. He felt a little helpless because the little girl had too active a mind.

"Let's drive the black Audi A8. It's safer anyway."

Kyoto was very busy during rush hour, and he had to ensure the girl's safety while respecting her wishes.

Think for two seconds.

There is more than one Audi in the garage, thinking of the car he mentioned.

"The one with the five 7s?"

Zhou Junheng nodded, "I wish you success in your work."

Shi Ye smiled, her eyes curved. She knew the expression "up and down".

But it’s still quite novel to hear someone use it here to wish her a good job.

The girl's fluttering eyelashes spoke volumes. Zhou Junheng heard her say, "Thank you. That one will do."

Thinking of another thing in the plan, he asked him, "Since your position has been transferred during your term, we will probably be stationed here permanently, right?"

"Yes, there may be adjustments when you are assigned to a post outside of the capital, but it will not affect the rank transfer within Kyoto."

"Why do you ask that?"

Shi Ye also said that the yard of this house was too spacious, and he planned to plant some flowers to add some vitality.

Zhou Junheng finally understood, and a warm feeling spread through his heart. She wanted to decorate a place carefully because she wanted to live a good life there.

"The garden has a lot of greenery, but not a lot of other colors. It's time to plant some flowers. You're the mistress of the house, so just do what you like."

He gave her another title, the mistress of the house, and his heart was rumbling, neither big nor small, like the small bubbles coming out of a hot spring in winter.

"If you have any changes you'd like to make to the room, you can do it to your liking. Before the wedding, I had the decorator connect the piano room and the dance studio. You can fill in the specific details as you like."

Shi Ye has been too busy these days, and she rarely sets foot in the room on the third floor.

After hearing what Zhou Junheng said.

Now she had something to do after get off work, and she was somewhat happy... She felt inexplicably happy doing these little things and managing her own little life and home.

It's probably similar to how girls like to dress up as their own Barbie dolls.

"I'm sorry for the sudden overtime today. I'll try to finish earlier in the future as long as it's within my control."

When he was alone before, he didn’t have much concrete sense of overtime or what time he would get home. He was alone in the office building and the same when he got home.

Then I go back home and go to the study to process documents again, just working in a different place.

Now it is different from before marriage. He thinks that no wife likes a husband who is a hands-off boss or works overtime every day.

"Ah...it's okay. You focus on work. I can handle the small things at home myself. I'll tell you about the big things."

Zhou Junheng was helpless because his wife was not an ordinary person.

"So you don't need to contact me unless it's something serious?..."

"Xiao Ye, we are husband and wife, and I am your husband. Don't subconsciously push me out of these things like you did before. It's unfair to you, and it will tire you too."

Shi Ye felt that this was not what he meant, but what he said seemed to be her idea.

Why did her expression become so distorted?

Then he said, "I just think that your work is more important. I can handle it myself so I won't bother you."

Zhou Junheng came back from the bureau to have dinner. He was still wearing a neatly-made white shirt and suit trousers underneath his suit, exuding a calm and cool temperament.

It makes people feel inexplicably awe.

The people who always sit in the front and middle of the conference room are now very close to each other, only separated by the width of the dining table.

As he said, apart from his position at work, he is just an ordinary husband who just came back from overtime to eat.

But in Shiye's heart, there was an invisible huge gap between him and her.

The man opened his thin lips slightly, and his voice was no longer as calm as before.

"If work is important, then you are not important? Xiaoye, you and I are equal."

"You're putting yourself in such a low position. A healthy relationship can never be so high and low. The balance will be unbalanced."

"It doesn't matter who the other party is. You shouldn't be wronged... You should trouble me more."

Speaking of this last request, Zhou Junheng felt like he was almost laughing because of the little girl.

He actually begged the little girl to cause trouble for him...others would think he was ridiculous.

He has always been less susceptible to emotional influence.

It is a big taboo to express one's emotions in official circles.

But when he heard her pushing him out and when she first said she wanted to decorate the house, he was very happy, happy that she treated this place as her home and he was her family.

Fortunately, their relationship will continue to develop over time... At this rate, he estimated that he wouldn't have to move back to the master bedroom this year.

There is a greater chance that Shi Ye will eventually regard him as a roommate.

Shi Ye lowered his head and murmured "Oh" softly.

She still didn't look up at the man opposite her. She was afraid of seeing other emotions in the man's eyes, some emotions she couldn't respond to right now.

She knew what he meant, that he wanted the two of them to be like a normal couple.

But she really can't do it now.

The normal couple he wants to be like rarely gets married without dating.

...Marriage first, love later also requires a cultivation process, right? She knew he was a good person, but his sudden involvement in her life caught her off guard, and she had to adapt!

She could only mutter this in her heart, but she still spoke obediently on the surface.

"I see."

"I will. I'm going to need you more."

The little girl's words finally made Zhou Junheng, who was feeling upset, feel a little relieved.

She tried to test his intention again, "Then why don't you work less overtime at night? Let's have dinner together? If -"

She wanted to find a way out again.

Zhou Junheng didn't give her the chance and just nodded in agreement.

He just hoped that the little girl would make more of these little requests, and he would be happy to do it and fulfill them for her.

…

Today is the reporting day at the bureau.

The two people's breakfast time is rare to coincide these days.

He is still in shirt and executive jacket.

The men's glass display case in the cloakroom is particularly simple and cool, with all the clothes being custom-made in black, white and blue shirts and suits.

His thin and powerful forearms fit the shirt perfectly without any wrinkles.

With his sleeves rolled up, the man was peeling a boiled egg for her breakfast.

Set the washed blueberries and strawberries aside.

Maybe because she got up a little early today compared to previous times, she really had no appetite.

After slowly eating the eggs, he didn't move again. The man asked the nanny to pack up the fruit and said, "Take it to work and eat it when you're hungry. The morning is long."

As he was speaking, Zhang Hao came in.

"Director Zhou, the car is ready."

The man didn't linger any longer and stood up to leave. "Everything is going well. Contact me if you need anything."

Shi Ye nodded, and Zhang Hao also greeted her and left.

The two disappeared from sight, and the aunt packed the fruit and milk for her. "Thank you, auntie. I'm going out too."

The commute was smoother than she expected. Excluding traffic jams, she arrived at work in 30 minutes.

There is more than enough time for reporting.

She had a general idea of ​​when to go out next time, and it wouldn't go wrong since she had more time today, the first day.

Park in the parking space.

According to the information on my phone, the Personnel Department is at the left rear of the main building. Go straight up to the second floor and enter Room 203.

He paused in front of the dressing mirror on the first floor, confirmed that nothing was wrong, and then went upstairs with a smile.

Coincidentally, she met someone who was in the review after the physical examination.

She spoke first to greet him, "Director Qiao, good morning, I'm Shi Ye."

Both Qiao Qin and the director had been warned by the old man.

At work, she doesn't mention her identity at work and just treats herself as an ordinary girl.

Naturally, he wouldn't point it out at this moment.

He smiled and nodded at her, "Good morning."

"You're reporting to work today, right? This is Xiao Liu, he's in charge of personnel procedures. Once you're done, have him take you to the department and familiarize you with the routes and structure of the bureau."

"Okay, thank you, Director Qiao! Please continue with your work. I have something I don't understand, so I'll ask Brother Liu."

"Okay, don't be nervous. If you don't know anything, ask each other."

After Qiao Qin left, only Liu Yi and Shi Ye were left in the office.

Although he was called Brother Liu, Liu Yi was actually not that old.

I have a high emotional intelligence and this position has helped me become more talkative.

While chatting, she filled out all the forms in advance and put them neatly in the file bag in order. After Liu Yi checked that they were correct, he stamped and sealed it. The employment process here was very fast.

In the main administrative building, the two took the elevator up to the 7th floor. Shi Ye's office was 704.

The door was not closed, but Shi Ye still knocked three times politely.

Everyone looked up from their office seats and knew that there were new people reporting in today.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tokiya."

"I'm honored to be able to join the Culture and Tourism Bureau and work with you all. I hope everyone will bear with me in the future. I also hope you will criticize and correct me if there are any shortcomings!"

The girl's voice is clear, yet gentle, just like her personality.

Underneath a simple white Ralph Lauren shirt was the most ordinary flared trousers. The sunlight from the window shone on the girl, who wore a little makeup, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

There is sincerity in that faint smile.

Without being overly cautious or frivolous or arrogant, he introduced himself in a graceful and generous manner, and bowed sincerely to everyone afterward.

The youthful atmosphere that comes to everyone makes everyone feel comfortable.

If a person's temperament is pleasing to the eye, naturally no one will dislike him, and people in the office will applaud and welcome him in a friendly manner.
