"Director Zhang, please don't be so polite. It's what I should do."

"Alright, Mr. Han, stop calling me Director Zhang all the time, it's too formal."

My son has been talking to me on the phone every day for the past few days, saying that he really admires the two uncles who acted bravely and righteously.

Just like the Armor Hero characters in that children's show he often watched, they jump out and fight the bad guys.

Zhang Jie spoke of her son with a face full of happiness.

"Uh, this..."

Han Ming also laughed, feeling a little embarrassed, worried that his and Zhuang Yan's violent image when beating people might leave a bad impression on the little fat boy.

He quickly said:

"Director Zhang, please don't call me Mr. Han either, it sounds a bit awkward to me."

"Haha." Zhang Jie couldn't help but laugh when she found Han Ming's words amusing.

"Oh? I see. You think calling you Mr. Zhang isn't prestigious enough? Then I'll call you President Han instead?"

"Uh, Director Zhang, that's not what I meant."

Han Ming smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that Director Zhang was quite good at joking.

"What, are you still embarrassed? Don't be modest. I just saw your application materials. You're the head of a game company. How can I not call you 'boss'?"

When Han Ming heard Zhang Jie steer the conversation towards games, he had a sudden inspiration and quickly said:

"Sister Zhang, I'd like to trouble you with something about the game."

The greeting "Sister Zhang" bridged the gap between them, and she also casually mentioned the game she valued most.

Zhang Jie wasn't surprised when Han Ming called her that, since she was older than Han Ming and he had helped her mother.

Moreover, game approval is also within her scope of responsibility, even though it's not under her direct jurisdiction.

But since we're all in the same bureau, it shouldn't be a big problem to ask someone I know to put in a good word and expedite the process.

So, he also spoke seriously to Han Ming:

"Han Ming, let's not thank each other. We're all family, so don't be so formal."

I've looked at your game; there shouldn't be any major issues. Following the proper procedures, after the municipal bureau's review, it needs to be reported to the provincial and national bureaus. Even if we expedite this process, it will still take at least a month and a half.

"Sister Zhang, will we be able to get the certificate on October 1st?"

Han Ming was anxious.

When Zhang Jie heard Han Ming ask this, she turned to look at the calendar on the table, did some calculations, and then smiled at Han Ming, saying:

"You seem to be in a hurry, but I've calculated the timeline, and it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll urge them to expedite the process for you."

"Thank you so much, Sister Zhang. It's really like meeting a benefactor today."

Han Ming smiled and flattered him.

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. I didn't realize you looked so honest, but you have such a sweet tongue."

But you know, if you weren't good with words, I doubt you'd be able to fool such a pretty girl. So, Han Ming, is she your girlfriend?

Zhang Jie watched Dong Xiaolu laughing and joking with Han Ming.

Dong Xiaolu felt a little embarrassed by what he said; it was the first time she had ever seen Han Ming so sweet-talking.

We had a great chat on our first meeting, and we even managed to resolve the game publishing issue.

Now, as the conversation progressed, the topic naturally turned to her. Who was Dong Xiaolu? A lady from a respectable family. This little bit of formality was nothing to her. So she chatted warmly and openly with Zhang Jie.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the more they talked, the happier they became.

Han Ming finally figured out how Zhang Jie recognized him. It turned out that after the old woman went home that time, she called her daughter, and Zhang Jie and her husband immediately returned to the county.

Wanting to thank the two young men who acted bravely, I went to the police station where the incident was being handled to inquire about the situation.

Since Han Ming and his group had already left, they finally found out about Han Ming and Zhuang Yan from an acquaintance. He said they were two young men from Xiaqiao Town named Han Ming and Zhuang Yan.

Due to the relevant regulations, and the inability to obtain their contact information, Zhang Jie had no choice but to memorize their names.

Today, she happened to be in the office and went to the service window in front to check on the work.

I happened to see Han Ming and his contact address on the application materials.

It was discovered that the applicant was actually the young man who had helped his mother with her funeral, which led to the events that followed.

As Dong Xiaolu chatted, she realized that the woman in front of her, Sister Zhang, looked somewhat familiar, quite similar to Sister Zhang, the director of her former department.

Since they both shared the surname Zhang, he tentatively asked Zhang Jie if she knew Zhang Lan.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jie was taken aback and said that Zhang Lan was her older sister, who worked in the finance department of Zhenyu Network Company in the city.

Zhang Lan was Dong Xiaolu's boss in the finance department of Zhenyu Company. As the department head, she also provided her with a lot of help.

And now that Zhang Jie is in front of him, she can provide her boyfriend with a lot of help, which is really a happy thing.

Zhang Jie was quite surprised to hear that Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu also knew her sister.

After asking around, he found out they were all his own people. Overjoyed, he invited them to dinner that evening, and also invited his sister Zhang Lan to join them.

Han Ming felt a little embarrassed, as he had once again rashly asked someone to help with the game's release.

This is another dinner invitation, so he quickly said that he would treat everyone himself and invite Zhang Lan's family and Zhang Jie's family.

Zhang Jie refused, insisting that Han Ming pay for the meal, saying that Han Ming was currently in the startup phase and needed to be careful to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so this meal had to be paid for by her.

Once Han Ming's game is successfully released and makes money, Han Ming will treat everyone.

Then we'll find the biggest and most luxurious hotel in Dongning City for dinner and take advantage of Han Ming.

Han Ming couldn't find a reason to refuse after hearing those words, so he had no choice but to agree.

Furthermore, Zhang Jie mentioned that she would introduce a mystery guest to Han Ming that evening, someone who could also play a significant role in the development of Han Ming's game.

Han Ming was quite looking forward to it. At this stage, he wanted anyone who could be of help.

Zhang Jie, as expected of a government employee with a position in the municipal bureau, is well-informed and experienced. She made a phone call and booked a restaurant.

The restaurant was located not far from the hotel where Han Ming and his group stayed during their last visit to the provincial capital. They agreed to meet Zhang Jie at the restaurant after she finished get off work.

Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu then took their leave, expressing their gratitude to Zhang Jie once again before departing.

There was no other way. I submitted an application for a game publishing license, but I made a friend in the process, which will be of great benefit to my future development in the game industry.

Expressing gratitude would also increase mutual goodwill, and Han Ming planned to make good use of that dinner that evening.

Upon hearing that a mysterious figure would also be making an appearance, Han Ming was filled with anticipation.

After leaving the publishing bureau with Dong Xiaolu, the two realized it was lunchtime and decided to find a place to eat.

After dinner, I'll buy some gifts for Zhang Jie. I can't just eat her meal for free; that would be too embarrassing.

Han Ming, who had originally planned to meet with Liu Debao in the afternoon to discuss some matters, could only call Liu Debao to inform him that they would meet again the next morning.
