A courtyard house in the capital was no different from usual. All offices and courtyards were still in order, and everyone was quietly busy with their own official business.
When he finally entered the office, Shi Dashen finished reading the application in his hand and once again gave a cold glance at the young man in front of him who had convinced him.
Zhou Jiao looked calm and composed, not at all reserved. However, at this moment, she had already secretly complained in her heart: What are you looking at? She must have these years of military service. This matter involves a big chess game.
"Come, tell your uncle if you've been bullied at work."
Zhou Jiao shook her head. "No, everyone is focused on their work and no one is too busy to find fault."
"There must be a reason, right?"
Zhou Jiao blinked and smiled faintly, "Uncle Shi, I like the new military uniform."
It would be strange if Shi Dashen believed it! He glanced at Zhou Jiao and said jokingly, "You're tired of working in the State Planning Commission, and you want to change to another place? This time, Lao Jin and the others won't let you go."
Zhou Jiao looked at him with a confused look on her face. Many things hadn't even started yet. She must have been crazy to change her job.
What she wants is a resume, a real resume, a perfect career path in the future. She's only been here for a short time, why would she change jobs?
Seeing this, Shi Dashen couldn't help laughing out loud, and the cold and stern majesty that had been tense for many years suddenly disappeared.
"Uncle Shi, don't you feel that the new military uniform looks very impressive and gives you a sense of honor? And I don't like the cadre status on my personal file. Look, I'm a soldier with a certificate."
Zhou Jiao took out a small notebook and waved it at him.
"Can't you just ask your dad about this?"
Zhou Jiao immediately stood up and walked to the door, stretched her neck to look outside, then ran to the desk and smiled mysteriously at Shi Dashen.
Shi Dashen looked at her with amusement at her rare little girlish behavior.
"Uncle Shi, you have to keep this a secret for me. You're the boss, you have to withstand the pressure and never let anything out first. My dad will laugh at me for messing around."
Zhou Jiao, who knows how to behave appropriately, is not simply acting like a daughter or a junior of a family friend. What she wants is to bring the two families closer together.
"It's easy to walk across two bridges, but difficult to walk alone." Especially if the other person's character suits the taste of her father and daughter, having an ally and working together can create a win-win situation.
Besides, every time before she made a plan, the first thing she considered was whether the final result would have a bad impact on her father and Zhang Guoqing. Even if it was to avoid suspicion, she had to find Shi Dashen.
"Alright, alright...it's just an application, isn't it?" Shi Dashen didn't give her any trouble. This was a good opportunity to get the higher-ups to adjust this kid's salary. He couldn't just do two jobs for one salary.
Apart from some rewards and verbal praise, Shi Dashen felt that he was treating Zhou Jiao unfairly. If for no other reason, it was because every time he gave this child a task, he always exceeded the target.
He also cannot let those who have made contributions feel discouraged.
Joking aside, this time Shi Dashen solemnly reviewed the application form with a pen, stroke by stroke: Read, approved.
She took out a letter from the company from the drawer and, without any hesitation, wrote a report in front of Zhou Jiao about her contributions over the past five years.
Zhou Jiao stared at the words "Re-examine administrative level" and looked at Shi Dashen, who was buried in his desk, with complicated eyes.
Once again, she judged others by her own standards!
These procedures are handled by the transfer personnel, and it is not Zhou Jiao's turn to come forward. After saying goodbye to him and leaving the unit, the stuffy air is even more annoying.
Standing at the gate, Zhou Jiao let out a long breath. She decided that if Shi Dashen gave her any tasks in the future, she would work even harder to complete them.
After integrating her personal information, she no longer worried about whether her files would not be encrypted in the future, or whether the secret tricks she kept would be useless at a critical moment.
Zhou Jiao doesn't offend anyone, but outsiders shouldn't even think of touching her. Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Zhou Jiao's eyes, and she resolutely got on her bicycle and left.
Time was a bit tight, and when they arrived at the fifth courtyard, Lei Tianming had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he almost wagged his tail.
"Sister Jiaojiao, slow down."
"You've been here for a long time? You're sweating all over, why don't you go in and sit for a while? Don't you all know Dong's wife and the others? Are you being too polite again?"
Could Lei Tianming say that those military wives always asked for introductions whenever they saw him? The aunts had good intentions, but he didn't want to get married so early.
Just like Xiao Wu said, life is already tiring enough, and no matter what, you have to find a woman of your dreams to accompany you for life. Enjoying simple meals and drinking the most beautiful love in the world.
This is a life without regrets.
It was fine for them to chat about this, but he had no intention of revealing a single word to Zhou Jiao. Even if he couldn't find a woman like the one before him, he could still find someone like his own mother, who was gentle and virtuous.
"Sister, the two courtyards have already been cleaned up privately by Xiaowu and I. What are you still worried about?"
Zhou Jiao frowned and shook her head. "The situation is a bit complicated. You should be more careful at work from now on and don't rush into anything."
Upon hearing this, Lei Tianming nodded solemnly.
"Of course, don't be afraid if you encounter any problems. Remember to call me. I'm either at work or home. If you really can't find me or your brother-in-law, just look for Ping An."
After hearing what she said, Lei Tianming's nose felt sore, and he lowered his head and smiled: "Okay."
Zhou Jiao wasn't always so enthusiastic and trusting towards everyone, but Lei Tianming was different. If she was right, this child should be related to her by blood.
Yes, ever since he confessed his true life story, Zhou Jiao had an inexplicable premonition.
When she received another cardboard box from the Miao family this year, especially the letter asking her family to take good care of Lei Tianming, her closest relative, she realized that they were relatives again after all the twists and turns.
She still didn't know how the child ended up stranded abroad, but she guessed that something big must have happened to the Miao family abroad before they evacuated across the strait and moved abroad.
This matter may be just as her father said. Maybe after the Miao family found her mother, they also found the lost bones and blood during the investigation.
The situation was dire and complicated. Besides Miao Lishan, she, her father, and Zhang Guoqing all knew about this, so they had no choice but to keep it a secret for now.
It's a complicated matter and we'll just have to wait until the day when the Miao family and Lei Tianming recognize each other and we'll see what happens then.
Zhou Jiao, feeling overwhelmed, patted him and said with a smile, "Come on, walk around with me again, and pick some fruits to bring back to Xiaohui and the others."
Thinking of his sister, Lei Tianming smiled happily, "Sister, Xiaohui can cook now. She also gave me the opportunity to meet you and asked you to bring Ping'an and the others over. She said she wanted to show you some of her skills."
"Okay, once your brother-in-law comes back, I'll go to your place one weekend."
