After saying that, Wen Qiao went straight into the company compound.
Shen Jichuan hummed in agreement, resigned to his fate and sitting in the car, feeling depressed.
I picked up and dropped off Wen Qiao several times in a row, which actually put a lot of pressure on her schedule.
She herself said she would go to work earlier or go home later, with flexible hours.
After being involved with Shen Jichuan for a few days, Wen Qiao was also a little unaccustomed to it.
After work that day, Wen Qiao saw Shen Jichuan standing at the entrance of her workplace smoking again. She thought she would tell him later not to pick her up anymore, otherwise, it would delay Shen Jichuan's time and affect Wen Qiao's work.
Because some busybodies have already set their sights on that black car that's driven there every morning and evening.
As Wen Qiao finished get off work in the evening, she greeted the security guard and was about to leave when she suddenly heard people talking:
"What is her background and identity? How come she has a car picking her up and dropping her off every day?"
“I’m curious too. I heard from Yao Meng that Wen Qiao’s family background is very ordinary, so the people who came to pick her up must not be her family.”
"Could she be someone's mistress?"
"Really? No way?"
The two young people were talking excitedly, and Wen Qiao overheard them. If she hadn't been the one being talked about, she would have wanted to join in and say a few words.
She turned around to explain when she suddenly heard a scolding voice.
"Talking about someone behind their back shows a lack of character."
"Just because someone comes to pick you up in a car, you start saying she's a mistress? Who gave you that kind of definition?"
"Wen Qiao's mother remarried a commander, and she was picked up and dropped off in a car. Isn't that normal?"
Wen Qiao looked at Zhao Qingzhou walking not far away. How did he know that her mother's husband was a commander?
So he must also know about her marriage to Shen Jichuan.
After being reprimanded by Zhao Qingzhou, the two women quickly left, not daring to look at Wen Qiao and Zhao Qingzhou even once.
Wen Qiao glanced at Zhao Qingzhou and said with a light laugh, "Thank you for speaking up for me earlier."
"The person who came to pick me up in the car outside was my husband."
"Your husband?" Before Wen Qiao could finish speaking, Zhao Qingzhou's eyes showed surprise. "He often drives to pick you up and drop you off."
Is Wen Qiao's husband's job really that easy?
Do you drive someone to and from get off work every day?
Zhao Qingzhou became even more curious about the identity of Wen Qiao's husband.
Wen Qiao explained to her husband, "Maybe it's because he's had more free time these past few days."
As they walked out, Shen Jichuan got out of the car after seeing Wen Qiao.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man accompanying Wen Qiao, he thought that this person must be Wen Qiao's boss.
Before getting off the bus, he even straightened his clothes.
He had long, straight legs and wore a military uniform; his profession was immediately apparent from his attire.
Shen Jichuan has never been one to flaunt his achievements, but today, he has to be a little more flamboyant.
He reached out and waved at Wen Qiao, a gesture that looked like he was following the lead of his subordinates.
"Wen Qiao, over here."
Wen Qiao smiled and looked at Shen Jichuan, then said to him, "Didn't I tell you that you don't need to pick me up? I can get to and from get off work on my own."
Upon seeing Shen Jichuan, Zhao Qingzhou immediately recognized the young army commander.
He worked in the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was familiar with and had read about most of the prominent figures in the military and political circles.
He had also read Wen Qiao's information.
How come I didn't know they were husband and wife?
Zhao Qingzhou knew that Shen Jichuan was married and had a wife, but there was no photo or information about her.
As for Wen Qiao, he later checked the information himself and found that Wen Qiao's partner was indeed listed as married, but her husband's identity was not listed.
Of course, Zhao Qingzhou only found out later when Wen Qiao told him that she was married and had three children, and expressed dissatisfaction with the secretary's unclear information, so he personally asked someone to inquire.
This immediately revealed that Wen Qiao was married.
Zhao Qingzhou now feels that Wen Qiao's information at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not transparent, possibly because she herself requested that it not be known to others.
Otherwise, everyone would say that Wen Qiao got into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of her husband's connections, not because of her own abilities.
Zhao Qingzhou stepped forward and shook hands, saying, "Commander Shen, hello. My name is Zhao Qingzhou, and I am the head of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Shen Jichuan: "I know, I've heard a little about it. Director Zhao is an upright person, I trust my wife to work under you."
This label was firmly pinned on Zhao Qingzhou; what could he possibly say?
Commander Shen probably already knew his little scheme.
These past few days, he's been leaving early and returning late to pick up and drop off his wife from get off work, and his purpose is obvious: he wants to tell Zhao Qingzhou.
Comrade Wen Qiao was Shen Jichuan's wife.
"Commander Shen, rest assured, Comrade Wen Qiao works very diligently in our company. She is indeed a rare talent with excellent language skills."
"I have a visit in a few days, and I may take Comrade Wen Qiao and two other comrades with me."
Zhao Qingzhou had given prior notice.
"If it's inconvenient for Comrade Wen Qiao, she can let me know in advance."
Wen Qiao immediately replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine with it, I can go."
Shen Jichuan wouldn't say that Wen Qiao wasn't allowed to go, otherwise it would make him seem petty and narrow-minded.
"Director Zhao's decision to take Wen Qiao on a mission is a recognition of her abilities."
After exchanging a few words, Zhao Qingzhou took the initiative to leave first.
Wen Qiao got into the car with Shen Jichuan and then said, "Now that you've met my boss and asserted your authority over me, are you relieved now?"
Shen Jichuan chuckled and glanced at Wen Qiao. "You saw through me?"
Wen Qiao: "Your intentions are obvious to everyone. In your eyes, I'm just an idiot who can't see anything."
Shen Jichuan continued to smile, clearly in a good mood.
Zhao Qingzhou is a pragmatist.
He then had nothing to worry about.
Shen Jichuan asked Wen Qiao, "When are you going on a business trip? Where are you going?"
Wen Qiao said, "It seems to be in the Gansu area, but I don't know the specifics."
We're heading to the Northwest Military Region.
Shen Jichuan suddenly thought of Shen Haiyang, who had been exiled to the most remote area of the Northwest.
However, Wen Qiao went with the Information Department this time. As for what mission she was going to do, it was not Shen Jichuan's business. As a veteran comrade, he knew the answer and didn't ask any questions.
But I figured the people from the Information Department wouldn't go to particularly remote places.
Besides, the entire Northwest is so vast, it's unlikely that Wen Qiao and Shen Haiyang have such a deep connection that they would actually run into each other in the Northwest.
Wen Qiao continued talking to Shen Jichuan: "If I have the chance during this trip to the Northwest, I'd like to visit Sister-in-law Li Qin and Brother Wang Gang."
Shen Jichuan said, "It's not certain that we'll run into them. Wang Gang has been transferred to a different job and his family compound has changed."
