Huang Zheyue was also a good storyteller. After returning, she told Jiang Ci about it with great enthusiasm, and Jiang Ci understood why this group of people had come to Beijing.
“Aunt Jiang, this family is always trying to take advantage of others. If I hadn’t run away quickly, they would have wanted me to pay for their housing.”
Huang Zheyue reminded Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci has seen this kind of person before.
In recent years, more and more people are doing business. As people become successful, all sorts of strange and unsavory characters can emerge.
The young couple who rented Huang Zheyue's house back then lived a very frugal life in their early years. But once the policy was implemented, the couple became very resourceful and quickly started selling breakfast. They even bought two rooms on the street so they could continue their breakfast business and no longer have to rent a house.
The couple's life became increasingly prosperous, which made their families envious. Today they would ask the husband's sister-in-law to come and help, and tomorrow the wife's mother would come and help collect the money.
The business was doing so well, but everyone's meddling in and interfering has ruined it to the point where it's almost impossible to continue.
Fortunately, the two were quite determined. They argued with each other several times and drove away all their relatives, which saved their small business.
The troubles of this couple are not considered the worst in Jiangci's area; it is not uncommon for people to travel across several provinces to seek refuge with relatives.
Such incidents have been quite common in the courtyard houses in recent years.
Fighting over houses, scrambling for jobs, demanding money.
Jiang Ci, having eaten a rather large lunch, stood there digesting her food and asked, "Do you know where they live?"
"It was in a guesthouse near the train station; I saw it clearly."
Jiang Ci nodded. "Alright, I understand. You should go back to school now."
Huang Zheyue frowned. "What if they look for Miaomiao and Yangyang?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows. "We'll have to see if they have the ability to stay in Beijing."
After sending Huang Zheyue to school, Jiang Ci didn't go to see the Jiang family. Instead, she continued to do her own thing.
When Zhou Mingli came back that evening, she chatted with him about it.
What consensus did the couple reach?
Zhou Mingli even gestured with Jiang Ci, grabbing her hair, "Is that strong enough?"
Jiang Ci rolled her eyes at him, "Are you tickling yourself?"
Zhou Mingli chuckled, then exerted a little force, and Jiang Ci hissed again.
"Okay, okay, that's the right amount of force."
Jiang Ci repeatedly instructed him, "Be stricter with me, understand?"
Zhou Mingli loosened his bow tie and then unbuttoned his shirt, looking less conventional. "Looks like I really need to take a crash course to become a movie star."
Jiang Ci looked him up and down and said, "You looked quite convincing in women's clothing... Hahahaha!! Zhou Mingli, how dare you do it but not admit it... Hahahaha! Don't tickle me!!"
Jiang Ci had just started talking about Zhou Mingli's dark history when he was scratched by him.
Zhou Mingli was speechless.
The only time she ever dressed as a woman, she was met with Jiang Ciqi's amused teasing.
After dinner, Jiang Ci waited for Mingzhu to return and then went to her house to inquire about the situation.
After learning who had told Jiang's mother the location of Zhou Mingli's factory, Jiang Ci let out a cold laugh.
"He's quite a good dog of the Zheng family. Zheng Xiaoren has been transferred away for who knows how many years, yet he still barks at people."
Zheng Xiao.
Jiang Ci had just joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when that guy started picking on her.
When Jiang Ci was being allocated a house, Jiang Ci even felt that her house had been taken away by Jiang Ci.
Zheng Xiao's father was implicated in Shan Shengshuo's case and was directly demoted from the central government to a county magistrate, with no possibility of ever being transferred back.
Without his father in charge, Zheng Xiao was demoted a few years ago for having illicit relationships, and it's unknown whether he's still working in the government.
As soon as Mingzhu mentioned that person's name, Jiang Ci knew that the person was the one who used to follow Zheng Xiao around.
"Was that family that went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs really your mother and brothers?" Mingzhu asked.
Jiang Ci nodded.
Mingzhu said solemnly, "You need to make arrangements for your family. You're going abroad soon, and there's no guarantee they won't cause some trouble in Beijing. Xiaoci, you're aiming for a higher position, so you need to cherish your reputation."
Jiang Ci doesn't participate in Zhou Mingli's factory at all. She's capable, and with the country and the world bridging the gap, there are many important tasks waiting for her. Mingzhu firmly believes that Jiang Ci has the ability to handle these tasks well. When she returns to China, she will definitely rise through the ranks. In the future, she could become a director, or even a vice minister or minister.
Mingzhu was very worried that Jiang Ci would be dragged down by her family of rather clueless relatives.
What a wonderful era! As long as you're willing to work hard and endure hardship, what can't you get?
But you insist on taking the laziest and most harmful path.
Jiang Ci knew that Mingzhu was doing it for her own good. They had worked together for so long, and she understood Mingzhu's meaning.
"I know, I will handle my family's affairs."
Late at night, Jiang Ci went out again, and no one knew what she was doing.
The next day, when Jiang Ci went to the ministry, many people surrounded her and asked about her family.
"Were those people who came yesterday really your family? They were really something else. They were shouting at the gate that you were a leader in the department, and that the gatekeeper stopped them from entering, so they must have a problem with the leader."
"Xiao Jiang, why didn't I see you bring your mom, brother, and younger brother home yesterday?"
Nosy people kept asking questions.
Jiang Ci smiled, subtly silencing their words.
Not long after, she was summoned by the minister again.
