Chapter 255 Thank you for showing up
There was a brief sound of disappointment, and the bus stopped by the roadside. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau was not far ahead.
Huo Jingchen helped Sang Tian get out of the car, and the two walked side by side towards the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
When I arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, someone was already waiting there.
"Excuse me, are you Comrade Huo and Comrade Xia?" The superiors had instructed that two distinguished guests would be coming today, so when they arrived, they would just be led upstairs.
Huo Jingchen nodded in acknowledgment, "It's us."
"Comrades, please follow me. I will take you up."
After going upstairs, I was received by the deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The man wore round-frame glasses, a gray cotton and linen shirt and black trousers, had dark skin, and was about forty years old.
"Hello, Captain Huo, I'm the deputy director of the Qingcheng Industry and Commerce Bureau. My name is Fu Dehua."
Huo Jingchen extended his hand, "Hello, Comrade Fu."
After hearing Fu Dehua's last name, Xia Mi pursed her lips and said nothing more. It really is Director Fu...
"This is my wife, Xia Mi, also a friend of Comrade Shen." Huo Jingchen introduced Xia Mi to Fu Dehua.
Xia Mi smiled, "Hello, Director Fu."
Director Fu nodded and invited the two to take a seat. Tea was already prepared.
Xia Mi came today and brought the evidence in her hand, and handed the confession to Director Fu. Of course, she did not give it all to him, but specially selected some of the more serious ones to show him.
Director Fu's expression was calm at first, but before he even finished reading one letter, his expression became serious.
"Comrade Xia, where did all these letters come from?"
Xia Mi recounted the entire process of the disturbance and embellished it appropriately.
This completely aroused Fu Dehua's anger. This group of people not only played with Shen Zhihui, but also used the Industrial and Commercial Bureau as a gun and almost blamed a good person.
Fu Dehua exhaled a breath of foul air, his heart burning with anger, and slammed the "confession" on the coffee table.
"The person behind this is too arrogant!" Fu Dehua was so angry that his face turned red, his chest heaved violently, and he was breathing heavily.
Huo Jingchen tried to appease her, "This is indeed a terrible thing. They're using the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and the mastermind behind it might even be an important leader of a state-owned factory. I believe this kind of abuse of power for personal gain is not uncommon, and it's what fuels the bad habits of these people."
Fu Dehua understood the implication in Huo Jingchen's words and nodded frequently.
"Don't worry, this matter will definitely not be tolerated so easily. We must catch them and make an example of them. Now is a great time to restore the economy. We cannot allow such people to influence national decision-making."
Fu Dehua assured Huo Jingchen that he couldn't wait to make this matter come true.
With the support of the military, they are not afraid of state-owned factories.
During the entire conversation, Huo Jingchen did most of the talking, while Xia Mi listened on the side. She was mainly worried that if she spoke too much, she would make too many mistakes and expose the fact that her relationship with Shen Zhihui was more than just friends.
The people in the Public Security Bureau are all our own people, so the risk is relatively low.
The Industrial and Commercial Bureau is different.
After spending a full hour and a half in the office, we finally finished discussing the matter and came up with a rough solution.
Chen Zhihui was in the detention center. Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen left the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and went to the detention center together with Fu Dehua.
After just a few days of not seeing each other, Shen Zhihui had become much thinner, but there was still light in his eyes. When he saw Xia Mi appear, he grinned, and the light in his eyes became even more dazzling.
"I knew you would come."
"You know you're still so thin, are you trying to take this opportunity to lose weight behind my back?" Xia Mi used a relaxed tone to resolve the originally touching scene, worried that Shen Zhihui would shed tears on the scene.
Huo Jingchen held Xia Mi's waist tightly. "But don't worry, we're not here to pick you up today. We're here to tell you not to worry about what's happening outside. Just stay here and eat and drink."
When the police officer who opened the door heard this, he looked at the couple with a strange look.
No wonder they became a couple, they both speak in such a harsh way.
Shen Zhihui laughed dryly twice, suppressing the urge to cry, and spoke loudly to hide the sobs in his tone, "Don't worry, I will definitely eat and drink well in here. After all, it's free. If you don't take advantage of the bargain, you're a bastard."
"I didn't expect that Boss Shen is such a kind-hearted person with such a good attitude." Fu Dehua was impressed by the three of them and figured out why they could be friends.
Only then did Shen Zhihui notice Fu Dehua.
Xia Mi took the initiative to introduce, "This is Director Fu from the Industry and Commerce Bureau."
Shen Zhihui stretched out his hand across the railing, "Hello, Director Fu, I'm sorry to meet you in this way, but you are willing to come here, you must know that I have been wronged."
Shen Zhihui, who hadn't been seen for a long time, started talking nonstop as soon as he saw people.
Fu Dehua listened to him mumbling for a long time, then smiled helplessly, certain that there must be something fishy about this matter.
-
After the confession, everything went very quickly and the mastermind behind the scene was successfully caught. It turned out that Cheng Quan's father had done everything to avenge his son.
On the day Shen Zhihui was released, if Huo Jingchen and Xiao Wang had not stopped him, he would have hugged Xia Mi and cried loudly. In the end, he had no choice but to hug Huo Jingchen to express his gratitude.
For a period of time afterwards, Shen Zhihui cared more about Xia Mi's career than his own.
In less than a month, Xia Mi's logistics company was successfully established. At first, everyone thought it was unnecessary, but gradually everyone experienced the convenience of express delivery within the city and surrounding counties.
Xia Mi's logistics company is very popular and everyone in Qingcheng knows about it.
As time went by, "fast delivery" became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Xia Mi was even featured in the People's Daily.
It was when Zhao Min saw the news about Xia Mi in the People's Daily that she realized that her daughter-in-law was still working hard on her career even though she was pregnant.
Xia Yaoyao and the Xia family also saw it. After reading the news in the newspaper, the whole family was shocked and regretted breaking up with Xia Mi.
Xia Mi's success stimulated Xia Yaoyao, who, despite her family's opposition, insisted on going into business.
Xia Yaoyao, who only had ideas but no connections or financial resources, found every step difficult. She tried setting up stalls and speculating in stocks, but ended up losing everything.
During the start-up period, she suffered a miscarriage because she worked too hard. She also had difficulty reaching a consensus with her family on her ideas, and ended up getting divorced.
The Xia family was still willing to let Xia Yaoyao go back, but Xia Yaoyao was forced to return to her mother's home and began a life of chaos with Mei Dujuan.
When Xia Mi was in the late stage of pregnancy, her parents-in-law knew that she could not give up her career in Qingcheng and chose to respect her.
Many media outlets also rushed to interview Xia Mi, but she refused all of them on the grounds that she was concentrating on giving birth.
After special procedures, Huo Jingchen was also transferred to Qingcheng with Jiang Weidong. The house he was assigned was still in the same area, also a small villa.
After the house was renovated, there were five rooms in total, all of which were occupied when Xia Mi was about to give birth.
Xia Jing also came from the island to live in Xia Mi's house, so that she could be taken care of more easily and have the company of her parents-in-law.
Xia Mi finally gave birth to a daughter in Qingcheng. When she was pushed out of the delivery room, everyone outside the door surrounded her lying on the hospital bed, and only Xia Jing was holding the child.
Huo Jingchen followed closely beside the bed and pushed the bed back to the ward together.
Looking at the person on the hospital bed with a haggard face, sweat-soaked hair sticking to his face, and unspeakable fatigue between his brows, Huo Jingchen felt a pang of heartache.
During the late stages of pregnancy, Xia Mi hardly ever had a full night's sleep. Pubic pain was the most common influencing factor. As the months went by, she also paid attention to her sleeping posture.
Huo Jingchen saw all of this and told Xia Mi during her pregnancy that they would no longer have children.
Xia Mi explained with her eyes curved that having a child with the one you love is a painful yet happy thing.
When they arrived at the ward, Xia Mi recovered, opened her eyes, and met Huo Jingchen's worried gaze. "Your sad face makes me think there's something wrong with me or the child."
Zhao Min next to him patted Huo Jingchen.
"That's right, the mother and daughter are safe and sound, why do you have that expression?"
Xia Mi could only lie on the bed now. She turned her head and looked around, looking for any trace of the child.
"The child is in the care of your aunt. He is being taken away to register his information and will be sent back soon." Zhao Min saw what she was thinking.
"It seems that mom and I have won the right to name the child." Xia Mi knew that she was giving birth to a daughter. She thought of what Huo Jingchen and his son had discussed with them before: sons would give them the right to name the children, and daughters would get the right to name the children.
Zhao Min was very excited. "I've thought of this a long time ago. How about the name Jin Yao?"
A bright future ahead. The original meaning of Yao represents beautiful jade, symbolizing preciousness and purity.
Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen nodded in agreement. The right to choose a nickname fell on Xia Mi. She was not very knowledgeable about choosing a real name. Zhao Min was a university professor, so it was natural for her to do so.
She really couldn't think of a name with a special meaning, so she just said, "I'll just call her Yaoyao."
Just as he finished speaking, Xia Jing came in holding the child.
Zhao Min excitedly stepped forward to take it, "Our Yaoyao is back, Yaoyao, come and see mommy."
Xia Jing realized that the name had already been decided. She walked over and explained some precautions, then took out a brocade bag from her pocket, which contained a pure gold safety lock.
"This is a little gift from your uncle and I to Yaoyao."
There was also a gold pigment bracelet, "This is for you, Xiao Mi has a new identity, she has become a mother."
Her aunt and uncle didn't have high salaries, and they spent almost half of their savings on gifts for her. Xia Mi was deeply moved, looking at the child lying beside her, and surrounded by a group of people who loved her.
Her eyes were wet, and she cried for happiness for the first time.
"Thank you, auntie, and thank you, mom." Xia Mi pursed her lips and sniffed.
Huo Jingchen held her hand and said, "Don't cry. You don't have enough energy to begin with."
Xia Mi buried her head in Huo Jingchen's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Jingchen, I am really happy to marry you. Thank you too."
"There's no need to say thank you between us. If I have to thank someone, it should be me who should thank you for showing up."
Huo Jingchen gently stroked Xia Mi's back, feeling as if a honey pot had been spilled in his heart.
