10109 New Urban Farmers Chapter 154 Flash Marriage (First Update)
"According to the forecast from the Central Meteorological Observatory for the next two days, the three provinces of Northwest China (Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Shuangliu, and Shaanxi) will enjoy sunny weather."
Two consecutive days of moderate rain in the provincial capital temporarily dispelled the dry air, ushering in a sunny day.
"Guodong, it's time to get your marriage certificate!" His mother, Ye Cuihua, called to urge him.
After my parents met with Mr. Zheng and Aunt Mei, they quickly set a wedding date for Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le on this very day—time was tight. Once they got their marriage certificate, the new family was officially formed. They'd take the honeymoon and wedding photos later. Everything was done discreetly.
The elderly couple are currently living in Lin Yue's house in the district telecommunications bureau's residential compound; they are planning to move.
We'll move to the villa above the one owned by the provincial TV station. That way, we can look after each other and have more fun living with the Zheng family.
These past two days, Zhang Guodong has basically stayed home except to contact Uncle Zhao to inquire about the project's progress. Oh, and he also watches Zheng Le's program every night without fail.
Seeing Zheng Le's smiling face, Jiu Han was oblivious. He felt as if this life was a dream.
He was just a nobody who started out selling vegetables, yet he got involved with a famous woman. Life is truly unpredictable!
"Okay, Mom's coming over soon, we'll go pick it up together!" Zhang Guodong leaned lazily against the sofa, holding the phone. Dahei and Erhei were leaning against him, seemingly watching TV as well.
On television, the annual conference of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is being held, with the white Director-General speaking and making appeals.
"With further deterioration of the climate, global food production is projected to decrease by three percent this year, resulting in an additional 20 million people facing hunger."
CCTV News Channel is broadcasting this important global food and agriculture summit live.
Zhang Guodong enjoys reading the news, whether it's military, politics, or entertainment, hoping to glean information to keep his views up-to-date. Even though he's just a nobody.
"It seems there are still several acres of land vacant in Taoyuan. This land should be put to use, otherwise it would be such a waste to leave it empty!" Zhang Guodong thought of the current situation in Taoyuan as he looked at the news.
Medicinal herbs need to be collected further, as do trees. Also, some food crops don't need to be plentiful, but the yield must be enough to feed one's own family.
Another point is the necessary renovation and classification of the water tanks in the seafood banquet area.
Zhang Guodong wanted to wait until the "country villa" in Jixing Village was completed before he could start working on it. Otherwise, he would have to go to Shiya afterward, which would take quite a bit of time.
The promise made to Elder Yi must be kept. The schooling of Bu Hu and the others is a major issue. Furthermore, we've collected approximately eleven tons of jade essence, enough to yield two jin and two liang of jade essence, but we're still far from the required eighty-one jin. We must urge Liu Neng to accelerate the acquisition!
"Eighty-one catties of jade essence is equivalent to four hundred and fifty tons of jade slag, which is two hundred and forty-three million. Hiss!"
Zhang Guodong scratched his head and did the math. This huge medicine cauldron would actually cost over 240 million! This was simply unbelievable! But despite the heartache, the cauldron had to be made!
Such a large medicine cauldron can be considered a top-grade cauldron; the pills refined from it would at least be of medium grade, right? High grade? Or even top grade? An unprecedented feat!
Just thinking about it makes Zhang Guodong's blood boil!
Zhang Guodong called Liu Neng and told him to intensify his acquisition efforts, ideally reaching 400 tons within two months! That was a rather large number. Zhang Guodong made it clear to Liu Neng that if he couldn't acquire it, he planned to find someone else.
Find someone else? No way. Liu Neng has already tasted the sweetness of this deal, how could he let it slip away?
Liu Neng readily agreed and gave his assurances with great confidence. Zhang Guodong's appetite was too big. He actually wanted four hundred tons!
That's over 240 million!
It even far exceeded what he had earned at the Red Beach Mine! Zhang Guodong's phone rang again.
"Guodong, come downstairs, I'm downstairs."
Zheng Le arrived in her red sedan, which was currently parked outside Green Treasure Pavilion. She was wearing large sunglasses and had no makeup on; her hair was simply styled in a casual updo.
She was somewhat lost in thought at that moment.
Legally, they were now husband and wife after getting their marriage certificate, and Zhang Guodong was her husband. At the same time, she had to move out of their old house and into their new home next door.
Thinking about all this made her feel very confused.
She wore a huge, dazzling diamond ring on her hand—it was her wedding ring. Zhang Guodong, feeling helpless, went to a jewelry store and bought a pair, one for her and one for herself, spending over two million yuan. This diamond ring was actually worth one million!
Zheng Le really liked the ring, even though he knew he wouldn't keep it for long.
A sapphire necklace adorned her fair and lustrous neck, accentuating her delicate collarbone and making her even more beautiful. This necklace, a gift from Zhang Guodong, was worth nearly a million yuan, similar to her mother's! Then there was a pair of earrings worth 300,000 yuan and a jade bracelet worth 200,000 yuan. The jade bracelet was a gift from her mother to her daughter-in-law.
Of course, the jade bracelet was "acquired" from Zhang Guodong and then given to Zheng Le.
Lost in thought, Zhang Guodong came downstairs. Dressed casually, with an upright posture and a slightly "simple and honest" smile, he seemed to have good qualities.
Zhang Guodong didn't even drive his own van; he got into the passenger seat of Zheng Le's car and leaned over to kiss Zheng Le on the cheek.
The coolness on her cheeks and the fragrance of a virgin body aroused Zhang Guodong's desire. This was his wife, who had another identity!
Zheng Le was caught off guard by Zhang Guodong's sudden attack. A little flustered, he then became enraged and said:
"Don't kiss me!"
Zhang Guodong chuckled and said with a hint of cheekiness, "You're my fiancée. After we get our marriage certificate, you'll be my wife. It's only natural, why can't I be my wife?"
"No means no, we made a deal!" Zheng Le said fiercely, his tone lacking conviction.
"Okay, let's hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting. Getting married is like a clandestine affair, thank goodness..."
"snort!"
Xiao Zhong from the district civil affairs bureau was idly twirling a pen in her private marriage registration office. The pen spun endlessly between her nimble fingers as she waited for a mysterious new couple to arrive. They had arranged for someone to handle all the procedures herself, keeping everything simple.
She was curious why the leader, without saying a single word, had simply stated that everything should be kept simple. Who exactly was the marriage certificate being processed for?
She was so bored waiting in the office!
While her colleagues in the lobby were busy with wedding and divorce registrations, she waited idly in her office. Normally, the office is for "VIPs" who don't want to be seen in public, so the Civil Affairs Bureau, understanding their "predicament," has set up private rooms for processing. Quite considerate!
A red sedan entered the district civil affairs bureau. The car belonged to a woman who had died. It was a very ordinary car with a value of 200,000 yuan and did not attract anyone's interest.
Two young people, a man and a woman, got out of the car. Both were wearing sunglasses and were basically unrecognizable.
These are Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le.
Zheng Le was a little nervous; his large sunglasses covered half his face, as if he was afraid of being recognized. But as soon as they got out of the car, passersby only glanced at the two of them without giving them any special looks—except for those with lecherous eyes, of course.
Zheng Le has a great figure and is quite tall at 1.7 meters! It's impossible for her not to be attractive.
With such a beautiful woman by his side, Zhang Guodong was very proud and arrogant.
"Let's go through the side door, we won't handle this in the main hall," Zhang Guodong gestured with his arm. Zheng Le rolled her eyes at him, then helplessly wrapped her arms around his, clinging to him like a little bird.
Zhang Guodong felt a little uncomfortable when his arm was brushed against. He whispered, "Lele is on TV."
"Ouch!" Before he could finish speaking, another hand grabbed his arm and twisted it. Zheng Le was both embarrassed and angry! "Zhang Guodong immediately begged for mercy.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going back!" Zheng Le's face was flushed red. She wished she could sew Zhang Guodong's mouth shut. This bastard was getting more and more outrageous!
However, that one word, "wife," stirred up a storm in Zheng Le's heart, making her even more confused! She didn't actually object to that address? Could it be that she herself had a little crush on this bastard?
She didn't even let go of Zhang Guodong's arm. The latter, however, was experiencing both pain and pleasure!
The two entered through a small door. Zhang Guodong, as if familiar with the place, directly knocked on an office door, much to Zheng Le's surprise. However, she didn't want to be in the lobby; otherwise, she would be recognized by many people.
"Come in!" a woman's voice came from inside.
"Keep quiet for a while, I'll take care of that!" Zhang Guodong whispered to Zheng Le.
The two went inside to register their marriage; there were even digital photography and scanning devices available for immediate processing.
However, Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le's photos have already been taken and scanned into the machine. That's the advantage of using connections!
"My surname is Zhang. Your Director Cheng has spoken to you, hasn't he? Hello, ma'am!" Zhang Guodong smiled at Xiao Zhong and shook her hand. "I've brought my fiancée here today to register our marriage."
Xiao Zhong was a little nervous, and only after Zhang Guodong introduced her did she realize that the person in charge had arrived.
He quickly had the two of them sit down and then skillfully began the registration process.
In less than five minutes, two red booklets with embossed seals were handed to Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le.
The three large figures on the cover bear witness to the sacredness of this relationship; at this moment, they become husband and wife.
Alright!
After thanking each other, Zhang Guodong and Zheng Le had different feelings but remained silent and left immediately. Only after they left did Xiao Zhong breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt that the woman in sunglasses looked vaguely familiar, though he couldn't quite place her.
A moment later, the phone on the desk rang.
"Xiao Zhong and his wife have finished getting their documents and left, right? Forget about what happened today and don't tell anyone!" Deputy Director Cheng said.
Xiao Zhong, the deputy director, called her.
"I understand the situation!"
"Hehe, good, you've been working hard for two years now, haven't you? I'll transfer your public sector employment to administrative employment later and you should keep up the good work!" Deputy Director Cheng said.
"Ah, thank you, Director Cheng! Xiao Zhong never expected such a good thing to fall into his lap." He thanked him profusely. "Right. The call has already ended!"
Unexpectedly, this young couple brought her good fortune! The difference between a public sector job and an administrative job is significant; she will soon become a civil servant.
Zhang Guodong personally called Deputy Director Cheng to express his gratitude. Deputy Director Cheng was introduced by the fat man over the phone. The district head's personal secretary had asked for a small favor. Cheng Quan was naturally pleased. Now that the matter was settled, he had some connection with the fat man!
However, he had never met Zhang Guodong, let alone Zheng Le. This matter was handled very mysteriously and discreetly!
Zheng Le felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from her heart, but she still had some questions.
"Guodong, I heard that you have to go to the main hall to get your wedding photos taken. Why don't we need to do it here?" Zheng Le asked, puzzled. She had mentally prepared herself to just go to the main hall. She figured she had to go through this anyway, but she didn't expect that she would pass through what she thought was the hardest part without even having to go through it.
"An exception!" Zhang Guodong said arrogantly, leaning back in the passenger seat. "By the way, did you take leave? Getting married without a honeymoon will give you away!"
When Zheng Le heard this, he rolled his eyes at him and became distressed.
Even if she could act like nothing was wrong at the station and not take leave, she certainly couldn't hide it from her family. Her family unanimously insisted on a honeymoon trip so that she could recuperate; otherwise, her body, already somewhat frail from years of work, wouldn't be able to handle it.
Zheng Le was worried about having to share a bed with this guy every night, even though he wanted to be with him for a month.
