Although the clerk didn't know what kind of relationship the two had, she hated this kind of behavior of divorcing at the slightest disagreement.
If everyone acted like that, how could society remain stable?
Isn't this just causing trouble for the revolutionary cause?
Qin Huaijun and Lu Xueer emerged from the Civil Affairs Bureau with their divorce certificates in hand and grim expressions. Passersby noticed the items in their hands and couldn't help but show strange looks.
Fortunately, the two had no children, otherwise the civil affairs office would never have allowed them to divorce.
They might even get government officials to mediate and do ideological work with them.
After parents divorce, the child becomes a "black child" and will be discriminated against both at school and in society.
If the employee has received the title of "Advanced Worker" within the company, this title will be revoked after the divorce, and the employee will also be publicly criticized throughout the company.
Those who are not eligible for awards or commendations will not be recognized for this stain on their record, no matter how diligently they work.
In today's society, the prevailing message is to unite as one and build socialism.
Any behavior that undermines unity will not be supported.
When Lin Xiaoxiao learned that Qin Huaijun and Lu Xueer were going to sweep the streets for a month, she thought to herself that the punishment was quite severe. With Qin Huaijun's extremely proud personality, she wondered how upset he must be.
It turns out that when you're down on your luck, even drinking water can cause problems.
Even worse things were yet to come.
The day after Qin Huaijun and Lu Xueer divorced, he took Fang Yao to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married, leaving the staff there stunned.
This isn't how you achieve a seamless transition.
The two were questioned separately for a long time, but they insisted that their families were eager to have a grandson, so they went on a blind date, met, and got married.
Instead of getting together while still married.
The people in the civil affairs office know this all too well; they all work in this field and have a clear understanding of human nature. Nowadays, most people are quite reserved, unlike these two who said they had a successful blind date in the morning and then came to get their marriage certificate in the afternoon.
Look at this woman, the way she looks at the man is practically drooling.
The clerks strongly suspected the two of having an affair, but had no evidence.
In the end, all we could do was process the certificates for them.
They deeply resented the clerks' infidelity and extended Qin Huaijun's street-sweeping duties to three months, with someone supervising him every day.
Fang Yao was not spared either, and happily received a month's notice.
Getting married and registering your marriage should be a happy occasion, but for Qin Huaijun, it felt like completing a task. He was interrogated by the clerk for a long time, which made him extremely irritable.
Even with Fang Yao's smiling face, he couldn't manage a smile.
With a gloomy face, he took Fang Yao home.
Yao Huixian has been transferred back from the hospital and is lying in a room downstairs. She won't be able to move for at least a month.
When she saw Fang Yao, she was very dissatisfied with her, thinking that this daughter-in-law looked petty and unrefined. However, Qin Huaijun had given her a heads-up beforehand, so she still smiled and gave her a gold bracelet.
"Thank you, Mom." Fang Yao was very happy.
Holding the bracelet, I looked at it from left to right and was very satisfied with it no matter how I looked at it.
Yao Huixian rolled her eyes where Qin Huaijun couldn't see her, without trying to hide it from him. Seeing this, Qin Huaijun gave her a look, and Yao Huixian pouted and waved for them to leave.
Qin Jinye returned at dinner time.
Upon seeing the new bride brought by Qin Huaijun, Qin Jinye didn't say a word and went back to his room after finishing his meal.
As early as yesterday, after Qin Huaijun and Lu Xueer divorced, he came back and told Qin Jinye that he was going to get a marriage certificate with Fang Yao. Qin Huaijun told him to think it through and not to do anything foolish.
But Qin Huaijun was already captivated by the readily available location and didn't care about anything else.
All he knew was that he was only one step away from success.
As it turned out, his investment was successful. The day after he and Fang Yao got their marriage certificate, which was also the day Lin Xiaoxiao and her group left Beijing, his appointment was announced.
He stood there, stunned, feeling as if it were all a dream.
"Congratulations! You're going to be a deputy director now." Colleagues who used to look down on him all came over to congratulate him.
He took in every bit of the fawning on their faces.
Qin Huaijun wanted to laugh out loud to release the pent-up frustration of the past few years, but he held back.
He smiled faintly and said, "Thank you. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
After saying that, he walked into his office as deputy director of the Basic Education Department with a smug look on his face. Next door was the director's office. Compared to the director, who was already fifty years old, he was the young and promising one.
Everything in the office was old, but he didn't mind at all.
He understands the spirit of hard work and frugality.
The higher your position, the more cautious you must be, lest you give others a handle to use against you.
"Look at how arrogant he is, tch." The people who had flattered him huddled together and whispered among themselves after he left, their tone still disdainful.
"Who told him to have powerful backers? Everyone knows how he got this position."
"Just wait and see, this kind of person will eventually fall."
The news of Qin Huaijun's promotion to deputy director spread quickly again in the government compound. This time, most people chose to remain silent rather than discuss it extensively.
How many of the people who can live in government compound are stupid?
Anyone could see that something was wrong.
It's uncertain how long Qin Huaijun will remain as deputy director; they'd better not rush to praise him, lest they be proven wrong later.
The only happy ones were Yao Huixian and Fang Yao.
At Yao Huixian's request, Fang Yao arranged to invite the Yao family members over to prepare a banquet to celebrate Qin Huaijun's arrival.
