Chapter 98 The Wife of the Director of the Finance Bureau
Looking out the window, I looked towards the staff quarters of the Finance Bureau, which used to be just a temporary place for work.
And now, it is also a home for him and Shiya.
In fact, only half a day had passed, but he still couldn't help missing her.
Before the thought even came to mind, he had already walked to the table and sent a message to the little girl. His actions even preceded his heart, and it had become a habit without him noticing.
"Xiaoye, are you feeling unwell today? Would you like to come to the family compound for lunch? I'll have Zhang Hao prepare it in advance."
The message was sent when Ji Sunan left the office and was chatting with Zhang Yameng, and he received a reply soon.
But the content did not meet his expectations as much as the speed:
I'm not feeling unwell. Everything is fine. My baby is doing well, and so am I. ^o^]
[But I won't have lunch with you at noon. I have a lunch appointment with my colleagues~]
Zhou Junheng raised his eyebrows, and even though they were separated by a screen, his eyes were still doting as he typed:
[Okay, eat your meal. Can I make an appointment in advance and get a number for tomorrow?]
[I agree ^_^~ You are delicious too! ]
Looking at the lively and vibrant emoticons, Zhou Junheng seemed to be able to guess the vivid expression of the little girl on the other side of the screen, which was indeed quite appropriate.
Before the next message was sent, Shi Qing's phone number coincidentally popped up at the top of the screen.
Slide the answer button: "Hello, Shi Qing."
Although they were married, there was not much change in the way they talked about things or addressed each other on the phone. After all, the previous habit had lasted for nearly twenty years.
Chu Yanli's confused and frustrated voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No, shouldn't you call Shi Qing 'brother-in-law' or 'brother-in-law'?"
The subtext is obvious: why don't you play by the rules?
Qiao Jinchen's gloating laughter also came at the same time.
"My bet was right, right? Come on, call me Brother Qiao from now on. Call me that now."
"...Fuck you. I didn't marry your sister, so don't take advantage of me."
"Chu Gou, I can't stand you being like this. I'm willing to admit defeat... You don't admit your words."
“…”
The two of them started arguing.
Zhou Junheng only felt that his eardrums were hurt by the vibration, and the two people's voices were buzzing and noisy.
With his eyebrows pinched, his remaining patience became even more limited:
"Are you two free?"
"It's okay, I'm hanging up."
The other side stopped talking.
A second before he hung up the phone, he mentioned the main topic of the call, which had already deviated to the topic abroad.
After listening to these two people, Zhou Junheng felt that they were too long-winded. In fact, one message could solve all the problems.
Qiao Jinchen and Chu Yanli are now at Shiqing Company and want to ask him if he is free to come over for lunch.
"Next time you call, state the key points first. If you can't find the key points, don't call me. Or learn to summarize in Chinese and improve your expression skills."
Then the call was hung up. In Shi Qing's office:
Chu Yanli and Qiao Jinchen looked at each other.
You look at me, I look at you. What is Zhou Junheng talking about? Is he talking about him or him?
Then look at Shi Qing.
Shi Qing was also very upset by the quarrel between the two. They were more relaxed in his office than at home.
Not only did he ask his secretary to pour the same drinks as before, but he also laid down one on each side of the sofa, like the two bodyguards, and then started moaning and chattering without stopping.
Qiao Jinchen asked a soul-searching question:
"Isn't my Chinese language good? I'm a genuine yellow race. If we talk about old feudalism, my bloodline is much more genuine than that of the Zhenghuang Banner. I've been a genuine Han Chinese since the Qing Dynasty..."
Chu Yanli saw him recalling the glorious past and running further and further away.
Suddenly, I began to understand what Zhou Junheng meant by "grasping the key points".
But not much is known—
"My country's literature is better than yours. When you were exiled abroad, I was still diligently absorbing the influence of traditional fine culture. I was completely authentic. But you split off midway..."
"When it comes to length, we need to talk about thickness."
“…”
Shi Qing was truly silent.
He thinks he is a little autistic, but he probably doesn't think anyone will believe it.
That’s true.
He was about to become autistic when faced with these two talkative people. I guess Dr. Daluo had no other solution.
He simply asked, "Do you two think Yuan He is really busy today?"
The two paused strategically and said in unison:
"You must be really busy, otherwise you would definitely want to get together with us!"
Without the slightest hesitation, his eyes were filled with confidence and affirmation of his own charm.
At this moment, Shi Qing felt relieved...
He felt that even if Yuan He was really busy, there was nothing to sympathize with.
Because of him, he deserves more sympathy.
It's the unfortunate fate of "karma". Even if they weren't childhood friends, these two would have been indispensable to the university debate team...
…
Huang Qian called back immediately after seeing Ji Sunan's message.
"The safety emergency plan and tourist diversion plan are only required to be submitted if the scenic spot is operating normally during the filming period, but didn't you say that you were not open for operation at that time? So this requires a lot of documents."
Huang Qian's words instantly made Ji Sunan realize:
Now I have been completely fooled by Shi without saying a word.
Shi Ye, you are really good!
A hint of cruelty and hatred flashed in his eyes: "Okay, I understand, thank you sister-in-law."
"There will be no problem organizing the process and documents according to the materials I mentioned. I've also informed Director Lu. The person who delivered the documents may not be familiar with them. Please wait a moment while I make another call—"
Before Huang Qian could finish her words, Ji Sunan interrupted her impatiently.
He already knew that it was all a trick played by that woman Tokiya.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother me. I know who she is. I can handle the rest myself."
Ji Sunan's meaning was very clear. There was no need for her to intervene. He just had to take responsibility for greeting Lu Junchang earlier, and she didn't need to worry about anything else.
The disdain in the words made Huang Qian's fingertips on the phone book pause for a moment, and then she didn't insist anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Qian smiled bitterly.
I think it’s unnecessary:
Ji Sunan knew the He family, so since she had accepted the favor, she should see it off.
Then I sent him a "reminder" on WeChat:
"Sunan, it's cold out. The person delivering the documents probably feels bad after making a wasted trip. If you're more enthusiastic and treat them to a meal, things will go more efficiently."
"Don't confront them head-on. Some people have connections, so it's natural for them to be arrogant."
I thought of that exception again. Although it wouldn't be that coincidental, I quickly added:
"Especially Tokiya, she's the wife of the director of the Finance Bureau."
