After a moment.
Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting appeared outside the office where the big leader worked.
The big leader's residence and his office were located one after the other. At this time, the big leader was still working in the office building, so Gu Nanzhi did not disturb him. She pulled Xie Zhenting and walked to the residence of the leader's family in the back.
"Junior Sister..."
As Xie Zhenting walked, he glanced at the bag of apples in his hand and said with a troubled look on his face, "We are here to have a meal at the leader's house, but we only bring such a small gift. Isn't it a bit too shabby?"
It was this bag of apples that his wife got out of the car and bought from a roadside stall when he mentioned it!
Regarding this...
Xie Zhenting is really speechless!
"Is the leader's family short of food?"
Hearing this, Gu Nanzhi glanced at Xie Zhenting and said, "Besides, no matter what we bring, it is highly likely that the leaders will not mention it, so don't worry!"
Regardless of the era, the safety of leaders is of paramount importance. Whether it is food, drink or daily necessities, there are special people responsible for them. Such external things, no matter who sent them, will almost never reach the mouths of leaders...
Xie Zhenting heard: "..."
Thinking about the security measures around the leader, I suddenly felt relieved.
Come to think of it, the leaders have plenty of food and drink, so it doesn’t really matter whether they bring gifts or not. If they want to eat for free, just bring your mouth!
But……
The two of them were thinking well, but the leader's wife was extremely happy to see them coming together. She took the apples from their hands and welcomed them in, not even giving the guards a chance to react...
Guard: “!!!”
I stared blankly at the apples that my boss's wife brought in. I wanted to remind her not to eat anything from outside, but...
Seeing that the visitors were Mr. and Chief Xie, the guard silently retreated back to the door.
Anyone could harm the leader's family, but sir and Chief Xie would never do that!
These two are very popular!
Although it was time to get off work, the leader was still busy with official business. When he heard that Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting had gone home, the leader hurried over...
"I have invited you many times but you have always made excuses for not coming home. What wind has brought you here today?"
The leader said to the two men as he handed the clothes to the guard.
"Hello, Chief!"
When Xie Zhenting saw his leader, he immediately stood up and saluted.
The big leader is not only the leader of Xia State, he also holds a position in the military and is considered Xie Zhenting's top superior.
"This is home, there aren't so many rules!"
The leader glanced at him and said with a smile: "To be precise, you are my nephew. What a coincidence that you two came together. Please sit down first. I will go to the kitchen and ask your uncle to cook a few of his specialties for you to try..."
As he was speaking, the leader hurried to the kitchen.
After a moment, the leader came back with a smile.
"You are in for a treat, your aunt is making you sweet and sour fish, it's her specialty!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi hurriedly said politely, "Thank you for your help, auntie!"
"Why bother? You're so polite..."
The leader laughed, looked at the two of them, and said, "No one comes to my temple for no reason. Tell me, what is it that makes you two willing to come to my door?"
His door, how should I put it...
If he was just their uncle, it would be perfectly normal for them to come visit him, but...
Given his status, visiting him would inevitably lead to speculation from all sides. Over time, his life seemed to be all about work, and even his social interactions were much more indifferent than those of ordinary people. His home was rarely so lively...
"Uncle Master..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi called out hesitantly and said, "My uncle has blocked my marriage introduction letter!"
As soon as these words came out.
lead:"!!!"
Stunned!
My hands went stiff as I was peeling an apple.
"Are you here to complain?"
The leader spoke with some doubt.
Gu Nanzhi's mouth corners drooped, and although he didn't say anything, his meaning was obvious.
That’s right!
She came here just to complain!
"You are suing..."
The leader looked helpless and said, "Your uncle blocked your letter of introduction. Even if you want to file a complaint, you should go to your grandfather. Why are you coming to me?"
"My grandfather and my uncle are from the same country!"
Gu Nanzhi looked depressed.
lead:"!!!"
Hearing this, his movements froze again.
Then……
He glanced at Gu Nanzhi, then at Xie Zhenting, and said, "Is there a possibility that I am from the same country as them?"
This girl...
Her uncle is his junior fellow apprentice!
Her grandfather was his mentor!
He asked, what was the point of her complaining to him?
The palms and backs of one's hands are all made of flesh. Can he still give her justice?
Gu Nanzhi heard: "!!!"
She looked at her leader in disbelief, then said with an aggrieved look: "Uncle Master, you can't do this. Doesn't our country advocate freedom of marriage? Xie Zhenting and I have already held a wedding banquet in the countryside, and now we are in love and want to get married. This is neither illegal nor in violation of discipline. It's meaningless for you to block us like this..."
"How come you haven't violated any laws or discipline?"
Upon hearing this, the leader continued to peel the apple, saying as he peeled it, "The result of Zhenting's trial hasn't come out yet, and the details are still unknown. From your point of view, he didn't pass the political review, and your uncle's blocking of your marriage introduction letter is reasonable and legal!"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "!!!"
Xie Zhenting heard: "!!!"
Can it still be calculated this way?
He worked diligently and served the country and the people, but in the end he still failed the political review?
this……
Xie Zhenting looked at Gu Nanzhi who was sitting next to him, speechless.
To be honest, it’s not anyone else’s fault. If anyone has to blame someone, it’s because the woman he wants to marry is too unusual!
No matter who he wants to marry, it is always the other party who is subject to political review, but he has to marry this little woman beside him...
Apart from the lady working in the kitchen, the one sitting next to him can be said to be the only two important women in Xia Country!
But……
This was the first time in my life that someone told me that I failed the political review, and it was my immediate superior who told me that. It was an extremely strange feeling!
Xie Zhenting's handsome face was slightly distorted!
"Did I say something wrong? Do you think your marriage is just your marriage? Nanzhi is an outstanding scientific and technological talent in Xia Country, and Zhenting, you are a good seedling that Old Xue and the others value!"
Seeing the two of them like this, the leader sighed and said, "From your uncle's perspective, the teacher and the junior brother have just found Nanzhi, and they want to stay in Nanzhi for a while. I can't go against them!"
"From your leadership's perspective, Xia Country is in a state of disrepair right now. I really hope that you can focus all your energy on your work!"
Although the exploration team had made great progress in the rainforest, and although the Xia Kingdom had won a series of victories and taken back the coastal islands, but...
