I quickly took over the conversation and further analyzed: "Sister, you are wrong. Compared with the Finance Bureau, isn't the work of the Management Committee more macroscopic? Moreover, I have a deeper consideration. Think about it, County Magistrate Liu has retired, and I think there is a great possibility that I will take over his position. At that time, my brother-in-law will take over as the deputy county magistrate in charge of industry from the position of director of the Development Zone Management Committee. Isn't this also a natural and smooth thing?"
Wang Yanshu's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said worriedly: "Hongjun, don't forget that there is also a system of avoidance of office. I am the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and your brother-in-law is the deputy county magistrate. How can the party committee approve it?"
I smiled confidently and said confidently, "Sis, this isn't a direct superior-subordinate relationship, so there's still room for maneuver. If we plan properly, we can still circumvent this problem. If you and your brother-in-law agree with my idea, leave the rest to me, and I promise to do it properly."
Wang Yanshu narrowed his eyes, looked me up and down, and said half-jokingly: "Guan Hongjun, I really underestimated you before. Now you have grown wings and can call the wind and rain and plan strategies."
I smiled, modest but with a bit of confidence: "Sister, it's all right."
Now that I have successfully convinced Wang Yanshu, there is no need for me to waste my breath lobbying Liu Xiuwen. Wang Yanshu's style of doing things is to solve the problem properly in her own way.
After leaving Wang Yanshu's place, I went straight to Xu Tong's house. As soon as I entered the door, she came to greet me happily, holding two small notebooks and handed them to me as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
I took the small book and looked at it carefully. One was the household registration book and the other was the divorce certificate. I first opened the household registration booklet and saw that Xu Anqi's household registration information was clearly printed on it. This meant that my precious daughter had finally been registered, and a big stone in my heart fell to the ground. As for the other divorce certificate, I didn't even have the interest to look at it. After all, I already knew that this was the real divorce certificate of Xu Tong and Xiang Qianjin's fake marriage.
"You're still breastfeeding, and the people at the Civil Affairs Bureau approved your divorce so readily?" I asked, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Xu Tong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile on her face. She didn't shy away from Sister Hong who was standing beside her. Like a happy little deer, she rushed into my arms and said coquettishly, "I asked for help from the Civil Affairs Bureau. The divorce agreement is clearly written. They don't have to take any risks, so why don't they process the divorce?"
However, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, her expression suddenly changed, she broke free from my arms, grabbed my arms tightly with both hands, and pulled me into her bedroom without saying anything.
I was completely confused by her sudden actions. I was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? You're so jumpy."
She had a gloomy face, her eyes were filled with jealousy and suspicion, she stared at me closely and said, "You smell like a woman's perfume. Tell me, are you going to the provincial capital to see that Chen Mengzhao?"
I was shocked. I didn't expect her nose to be so sensitive that she could smell the scent Zhou Xintong left on me. But of course I couldn't tell her the truth and tell her that I went to the provincial capital to meet my college sweetheart and spent the night with her. So, I quickly lowered my voice and pretended to be calm and explained: "I went to Secretary Wang's office today to discuss work for a long time. She is old and likes to use strong perfume. I guess it got on me."
She snorted coldly, her eyes full of distrust, and said aggressively: "Guan Hongjun, I worked so hard to give birth to your child, and suffered so much, and you are messing around outside, are you worthy of me?"
I carefully considered the tone of her voice and felt that she was partially suspicious, and the other nine parts were more like she was testing me. So I simply pretended to be calm, shrugged my shoulders and said, "I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. You can think whatever you want."
Xu Tong's eyebrows instantly stood up like two sharp swords, and her almond-shaped eyes widened as if spewing fire. She roared angrily: "Okay, now you are indifferent to me?"
I suppressed my anger and tried my best to control my emotions. I responded with a trembling voice: "You are obviously being unreasonable, so how come I don't care?"
In an instant, Xu Tong's expression was like the ever-changing sky, the red of anger quickly turned into the pale of grievance, and then twisted from pale to the purple of resentment. She yelled at the top of her lungs: "Guan Hongjun, I finally understand everything! Now that I have a child and I'm divorced, you start finding fault with me. Are you trying to evade responsibility? Well, since you are determined not to take care of us, then get out!" The hysterical voice echoed in the room like thunder.
The shrill shout woke up the daughter who was sleeping soundly in the next room. Immediately afterwards, a loud cry was heard.
The crying of her daughter was like adding fuel to the fire, completely igniting the anger in Xu Tong's heart. Like an enraged lioness, she kicked open the bedroom door, rushed out, and shouted to Sister Hong in the living room, "The child is crying, can't you hear it? Are you deaf?"
I bit my lower lip so hard that it almost bled. Anger surged in my heart like a raging tide, but I couldn't vent my anger. A deep sadness and fatigue, like a cold tide, completely drowned me. I staggered, as if every step was on cotton, and staggered out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Sister Hong, with tears in her eyes, was hugging An Qi tightly, patting her back gently, and coaxing her non-stop: "An Qi, don't cry, An Qi, don't cry..."
However, Xu Tong, like a madman, tore up the household registration booklet and the divorce certificate with her hands. The sound of paper being torn on her body was like the sound of my heart breaking. Those documents may be reissued if they are torn into pieces, but once a heart is torn into pieces, how can it be restored?
I looked at the chaotic scene in front of me and suddenly found it extremely ridiculous. I laughed at myself for bringing this upon myself, for I had personally woven a web called "love" and had trapped myself deeply in it, unable to break free.
