Si Lijue seemed quite satisfied with the photo on the marriage certificate, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he praised it generously: "Not bad."
Then, he said to the older staff members, "Your photographer is hardworking, technically excellent, and a rare talent."
The implication is that they're speaking well of the photographer and asking for a bonus.
The older staff members tacitly agreed: "Yes, Mr. Si is absolutely right. Xiao Zhao's filming skills are indeed among the best in our area."
"If there's an opportunity, we can speak to Director Wang about this. Talented people should always be valued."
Before leaving, Si Lijue spoke as if to himself, or perhaps to the older staff member.
This staff member is a seasoned veteran in the workplace; he immediately understood the implication in Si Lijue's words: anyone he approves of must be exceptional.
Haha, looks like this colleague is about to have a meteoric rise to fame!
She needs to quickly latch onto his coattails and build up her network of connections, which will benefit her future work and promotion!
At the same time, you can also make a good impression on Si Lijue.
After thinking it through, she smiled and agreed, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Si. I will definitely report it to Director Wang."
Si Lijue didn't say anything more. He reached out and took Su Niannian's hand, then walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Seeing that Si Lijue and Su Niannian were about to leave, a male staff member nearby quickly stepped forward and said goodbye with a smile, "Mr. Si, we hope you will visit us again. Goodbye!"
Su Niannian frowned almost imperceptibly, and her hand trembled slightly. She couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems even the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau could tell that my marriage with him wouldn't last long."
Having just obtained their marriage certificate, she couldn't wait to welcome Si Lijue's quick divorce so they could get a second marriage certificate.
Indeed, nothing can be hidden from these people. In their positions, they watch over people's joys and sorrows, and their eyes have long been honed to sharp and ruthless eyes!
However, they weren't wrong. Si Lijue and I were only married by agreement, and we'll still come to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce a year later.
Si Lijue seemed to notice the subtle change in the person beside him and turned his head to look at Su Niannian.
He stopped, turned around, and stared intently at the talkative civil affairs bureau staff member with sharp, sword-like eyes. He said casually, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I probably won't be coming here again."
"Huh?" The staff member seemed to realize that his words were a bit abrupt, and immediately smiled apologetically and said cautiously, "Yes, yes, Mr. Si is right. You and your wife have such a deep relationship and love each other so much. You will definitely walk hand in hand with your wife."
Hehehe~ Of course, Mr. Si won't be coming here again.
"It's all my fault for speaking too quickly without thinking. I hope Mr. Si will be magnanimous and not take it to heart." He spoke with humility and politeness.
“The person you should be asking for forgiveness from is not me, but my wife,” Si Lijue said with a slight frown and a serious expression.
The staff member immediately understood and sincerely apologized to Su Niannian, "Mrs. Si, it's all my fault for speaking too quickly. Please forgive my rashness this time."
Su Niannian looked up at Si Lijue beside her in surprise, not expecting him to confront the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau in order to save her face.
Does his doing this mean that she has a place in his heart and that he cares about her feelings?
It's also possible that he's overthinking things, and that he's just doing this to save face.
After all, for someone as powerful and influential as him, his reputation is what he cares about most.
Seeing that Su Niannian remained silent, only gazing at him with deep affection, Si Lijue asked curiously, "Don't you want to forgive?"
Then, without waiting for Su Niannian's reply, he shifted his gaze to the staff member: "Since my wife doesn't want to forgive you, then you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Niannian interrupted him with her voice: "I forgive him."
Su Niannian saw his face darken visibly and didn't want him to punish innocent people for such a trivial matter.
Besides, although it was an unintentional mistake, they didn't say anything wrong.
She didn't want to come back a year later to get a marriage certificate, only to be embarrassed then.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Madam." The staff member secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so frightened by the sight of President Si's anger that his back went cold and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
People say that rich men are fickle and like to be unfaithful. They usually marry beautiful women to please them, but then get tired of them and divorce them soon after.
For wealthy people like them, divorce and marriage are commonplace, nothing to worry about.
But why does this Mr. Si in front of me have such a rebellious spirit, unlike those rich people?
Could it be that he and Mrs. Si are truly in love, and that he wasn't attracted to this woman's beauty?
In any case, this time he truly experienced what it felt like to flatter someone only to have it backfire.
Seeing that Su Niannian had forgiven him, Si Lijue did not intend to pursue the matter further.
After all, today is the joyous day for him and Su Niannian to get their marriage certificate, and seeing blood is bad luck.
To reassure Su Niannian, he added, "This is a place you can only come to once in your life. Coming here more than once would be unlucky. Besides, my wife would definitely not let me come here again. She doesn't like me coming here."
Then, Su Niannian was stared at by a pair of eyes that seemed to see right through her.
The man bent down and asked softly, "Am I right? My dear wife."
Su Niannian was being interrogated by Si Lijue in public. Holding the marriage certificate in her hand, she felt it was burning hot.
She lowered her head shyly, this time truly not daring to look Si Lijue in the eye again.
To outsiders, it would appear as if she were nodding in agreement with Si Lijue.
Si Lijue smiled, tightened his grip on Su Niannian's hand, and said softly, "Let's go!" His tone was full of doting affection.
The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau and the people getting their marriage certificates in the hall were so shocked by what they saw that their jaws almost dropped.
Everyone says that the president of the Si Group is uninterested in women and is cold and ruthless, but who would have thought that he would love his wife so much!
After Si Lijue and Su Niannian left, the older staff member reported the day's events to Director Wang, including Si Lijue's praise of the photographer and the words of the talkative male colleague.
It is said that the photographer not only received a raise the next day, but also got a promotion.
As for the talkative male staff member, he was severely criticized by Director Wang and punished by being registered at the door for three months as a penalty.
That's how the world is. Everyone has different opportunities. Once you seize an opportunity, Lady Luck will open the door for you, and you'll live a prosperous and peaceful life from then on.
Some short-sighted individuals, eager to show off, act rashly and become a laughingstock. In the end, they are so foolish as to shoot themselves in the foot.
