64. Obtaining the marriage certificate
Chu Xiao had long anticipated that her father would have a backup plan, but she never expected it to be here waiting for her.
She unconsciously twirled the blood diamond on her thumb, remaining noncommittal.
In fact, Chu Xiao didn't care at all whether it was 18% or 15% of the shares.
To outsiders, the Malatang Group might seem like a lucrative opportunity, but to her, she was too busy dealing with her own mess to bother with other people's business.
If it weren't for Jian's father's sudden accident, and if that idiot Yu Chun hadn't stumbled headlong into the power struggle within the pancake company and become the scapegoat with a handle against her...
If it weren't for her newly ascended position and unstable foundation, requiring her to use a marriage alliance—a "public-private" means—to protect someone...
"Okay." She closed the file without changing her expression.
...
Yu Chun suspected that Chu Xiao had secretly bought a time accelerator.
He had just successfully forced his father to marry him yesterday, and his father had only agreed this morning. Then, in the middle of the day, after rubbing his bruised knees from kneeling, he received a text message from Chu Xiao—
See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 3 PM.
"..."
He stared blankly at his phone screen, completely bewildered.
They went to get their marriage certificate...
They're getting their marriage certificate already?!
After mechanically applying ointment to her knees, Yu Chun drifted into the dressing room to start picking out clothes.
After browsing through a room full of clothes, he finally picked out his favorite trendy black T-shirt, paired it with sunglasses and blue diamond earrings, and looked at himself in the mirror—
Not bad, he's a sophisticated and cool guy.
Yu Chun picked up her phone with satisfaction and took dozens of selfies in front of the mirror.
As he was taking pictures, he suddenly remembered that this was for getting a marriage certificate!
Shouldn't we wear something more festive?
So he carefully selected a trendy red T-shirt and tried it on, but he still felt he preferred the black T-shirt he was wearing.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Chun put on a red vest.
Black T-shirt and vest, the trendiest look at the flower market!
Yu Chun struck a pose and continued taking selfies.
As he was taking pictures, he realized he was dressed too casually and that getting a marriage certificate should be a more formal affair.
So I changed into another suit.
The person in the mirror instantly transformed from a cool and handsome young man into a composed and handsome young man.
Yu Chun spun around happily, then suddenly remembered a crucial question—
We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to take wedding photos! I need to dress appropriately for Chu Xiao...
Seeing that it was already two o'clock and he had to leave in half an hour, he quickly dialed Chu Xiao's number.
What are you planning to wear to get your marriage certificate?
Chu Xiao received the call and remained silent for two seconds.
What to wear? Just your usual clothes, what else is there?
"Black T-shirt." The voice on the other end of the phone was completely flat.
Yu Chun thought for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "Wear your usual basic black T-shirt?"
Chu Xiao was puzzled: "...Otherwise what?"
Getting a marriage certificate is just a matter of going through the motions, isn't it?
"..."
Yu Chun looked at her carefully chosen burgundy suit in the mirror and was speechless for a moment.
Sure enough... this is so Chu Xiao.
He asked unnecessary questions.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Chun silently changed out of her haute couture suit and put on a basic black T-shirt.
He suddenly realized that every time he met Chu Xiao, she was always wearing that basic black T-shirt.
He wondered to himself, "Did this woman buy a whole cabinet of black T-shirts wholesale?"
Don't you have any other clothes in your closet?
...
At 3 PM, in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Yu Chun wrapped himself up like a man in black about to do something bad.
He was dressed head-to-toe in a black T-shirt, black baseball cap, black sunglasses, and black mask, so heavily disguised that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
There's no way around it; ever since the "hospital toilet incident" went viral a month ago, his face has become the focus of the entire nation.
His good looks have attracted attention since he was a child. In the past, when he was secretly photographed when he went out, the photos would only circulate in a small circle. Now, he can cause gossip all over the internet just by showing his face.
However, Yu Chun did not expect that his unusual attire would not be anything but inconspicuous.
All the newlyweds around were dressed up and showing their faces, so the sudden appearance of someone who didn't show their face aroused everyone's curiosity.
However, everyone was quite well-mannered, and even if they were curious, they only looked secretly.
However, not everyone is well-mannered, such as the little dog that was lurking nearby.
......
Paparazzo Xiao Cai is a newbie who has been in the industry for seven months and has yet to capture a single worthwhile news story.
Two weeks ago, the editor-in-chief, with a grim face, gave him an ultimatum: "If you don't deliver some bombshells by the end of the month, you're fired!"
Just when he was feeling disheartened and packing his bags to go to work in a factory, Lady Luck suddenly smiled upon him!
Xiao Cai's aunt's neighbor's daughter's boyfriend's sister's best friend happens to be working as a personal assistant for a popular young actress.
This young woman, who earns a fortune every day, is extremely stingy with her employees. Her assistant, who is on call 24/7, only earns 5,000 yuan a month, and she frequently deducts money from her paycheck.
So, on a dark and stormy night, the resentful assistant took the initiative to contact Xiao Cai.
"If I find out she's secretly married, I'll give you 30% of the tip!"
After receiving the exclusive tip, before dawn today, Xiao Cai, full of fighting spirit, carried his equipment and lay in wait at the entrance of the XX Civil Affairs Bureau.
However, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., just as the Civil Affairs Bureau was about to close, the legendary Xiaohua still hadn't appeared.
"Oh no, I'm really going to lose my job!"
Just as Xiao Cai had already decided which bridge underpass he would temporarily stay under, a fully armed man in black entered his field of vision!
Suddenly, a man in black appeared at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Despite the 34-degree weather, this person's black baseball cap was pressed against the bridge of his nose, and his sunglasses and mask covered his entire face.
But based on Xiao Cai's experience, judging from the exposed fair neck and the way he walked... this man in black is definitely a celebrity!
"If I can't get a picture of Xiaohua, I'll take a picture of some obscure celebrity!" Xiao Cai excitedly raised his camera, pointing the lens at Yu Chun, who was looking around.
