Chapter 655 The Passing of Time 20
In the evening, Qiu Juncheng drove his Ford home, and Li Dagang was about to move the boxes into his house.
Qiu Juncheng quickly stopped him, saying, "There's no need to move those downstairs. I still need to go to the bureau chief's house to get the silver dollars from the bag."
Li Dagang thought the deputy director was just saying it casually, but it turns out he really meant to hand it over to the authorities.
"Understood, Director."
More than a hundred silver dollars were distributed from the bag, leaving more than two thousand, but he still felt that the deputy director had suffered a great loss!
The two made quite a racket, and Ning Yan came out to check when she heard the noise. When she saw that it was her man who had returned, she couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, our missing person has come home. If he hadn't come back, I would have gone to the police station to report him."
Qiu Juncheng's face twitched. Should he go to the police station to report the crime and ask the police to help him find their deputy director?
So convoluted!
His face darkened. "I'm busy with official duties, don't cause trouble!"
"You better be! If I find out you've been seeing some vixen, don't blame me for taking this to the police station!"
Li Dagang was completely stunned.
I'd heard long ago that the deputy director got married, and it was a hasty marriage. The rumors in the bureau were really crazy. They said that Director Qiu had fallen for a woman and married a peasant girl as his wife. Everyone was still guessing how beautiful she must be to make the deputy director, this iron tree, bloom.
Now he knows...
With such beauty, who wouldn't be attracted to her at first sight, and who wouldn't immediately marry her?
After all, once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.
Li Dagang was quite knowledgeable; among the beauties from various countries at the Six Nations Hotel, the Eight Great Hutongs, and the Qingjiuju, not one could rival the deputy bureau chief's wife in beauty.
Moreover, the deputy director's wife is indeed shrewish!
Just as he was thinking, he was kicked in the leg by the deputy director. Li Dagang quickly snapped back to his senses and looked away. "Hello, Madam!"
Ning Yan smiled and said, "Hello, you must be Lao Qiu's colleague. Come in and have a cup of tea."
Qiu Juncheng immediately glared at Li Dagang, who trembled at the glare and immediately started to lie, "No, Madam, I still have a mission to complete, I'll be going now."
After saying that, he put the bag of silver dollars in his hand in the living room and ran away.
Qiu Juncheng pulled Ning Yan into the house.
"Didn't I call you to say I was busy lately? How dare you talk nonsense in front of outsiders?"
"I did it on purpose, so that no one will take you to those messy places in the future."
Qiu Juncheng put the box on the coffee table, then turned around and pulled the person into his arms. "How can you be so smart? You're practically a mind reader."
Ning Yan pretended to groan, "You're the roundworm, you're the roundworm, you might as well disgust me to death."
They separated on their second day of marriage. Qiu Juncheng missed her terribly and was about to hug and kiss her when he heard footsteps coming from the kitchen. He quickly picked her up and put her back on the sofa. "Ahem, I have to go out for a bit. You can eat dinner by yourself. Don't wait for me."
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Are you coming back to sleep tonight?"
"Return."
"Oh, by the way, the silver dollars in the bag are for your pocket money, you can keep them yourself."
I promised her a good life, and she can't be without money.
Ning Yan glanced at the bag placed beside the coffee table, but wisely didn't ask any questions.
Qiu Juncheng picked up the phone in the living room and shook it vigorously. After being transferred, the call finally went through. "Director, I have some work to report to you. Should I come to your house?"
Luo Siyuan had just returned from the Japanese and received a great deal of praise!
Kawasaki Itō even told him that his position was about to change.
He's having a great time right now!
Upon receiving Qiu Juncheng's call, I knew he was going to hand over what he had found at Guan Sanqing's place. I felt a surge of satisfaction. "Juncheng, look at you, you're just too serious about your work!"
You're a deputy director now, you don't need to explain everything to me.
However, I was just planning to treat you to drinks tonight. Come over now, let's have a drink together, brother."
Honestly, having reached his level, he's certainly not short of money. Businesses in the East District are all lining up to give him money.
Therefore, sending Qiu Juncheng to search Guan Sanqing's house was a favor they were giving him; it was a kind of exchange of benefits.
But after Xiao Qiu finished searching, he actually wanted to send the items back to him. How could he accept that?
"Director, no matter what, you will always be my leader. It is only right that I report to you. You can't stop me from advancing. I'll go to your home right now."
Ning Yan, who had been listening the whole time, couldn't stop her lips from twitching.
It's true, money is hard to earn, and life is hard to live!
Comrade Xiao Qiu's flattery really comes so easily; it makes her teeth ache. Not everyone can do that!
Qiu Juncheng drove off again. He wasn't stupid. He knew what Luo Siyuan was up to when Luo Siyuan didn't say he was going to receive the supplies. He didn't expose him on the spot, since he had only sent people to keep an eye on the warehouse and had never actually gone inside. Even if something happened, it wouldn't be his problem.
Luo Siyuan's residence was also a courtyard house. As soon as the gatekeeper saw him arrive, he invited him in. Qiu Juncheng then asked the gatekeeper to unload the things from the car, while he took the two small boxes of yellow croakers and went into the house.
"Juncheng, look at you, didn't I tell you? You can keep the good stuff for yourself."
"Director, if this box were full of silver dollars, I would keep it all. I just got married and we really need to buy everything for the house. We're short of money. But I'm just a roughneck and I really can't appreciate these calligraphy and paintings and antiques. They're most suitable for you."
Everyone in the entire Eastern District knows that you, Director, come from a distinguished family with profound cultural heritage. These things are most suitable for you to have here.
Luo Siyuan did indeed come from a prominent family, but it was a declining one. He just pretended to be a cultured person, but since he was willing to pretend, his subordinates had to cooperate with him.
He might not like other forms of flattery, but if you tell him he's cultured, he'll be in a good mood for half a day.
Luo Siyuan was indeed happy, especially when Qiu Juncheng pushed the two boxes of small yellow croakers in front of him.
Judging by the weight and the size of the box, he could tell at a glance what was inside.
I'm not short of money, but who can resist croaker?
"Hey kid, come on, sit down."
When the servants were about to brew tea, Luo Siyuan personally brewed a pot of fine tea and pushed a cup in front of Qiu Juncheng.
"I also have something to tell you. The supplies in Guan Sanqing's warehouse have been taken over by the Japanese."
Kawasaki Itō praised our department repeatedly, saying it was a great service we had done!
Qiu Juncheng immediately offered his congratulations: "Then I must congratulate you on your promotion in advance, Director!"
"No, no, don't go around spreading rumors. It's not even close to happening."
"In my opinion, this matter is still quite stable. Didn't a vacancy just open up in the hall?"
