Upon hearing what his subordinates said, Director Zhang quickly ran out of his office.
Seeing Song Ziqing walk over looking haggard, he quickly went up to her, pulled her back to his office.
He helped her sit down and quickly poured her a glass of water. "Ziqing, you came all this way to see me. Is there something you need my help with?"
Song Ziqing followed Director Zhang into her office and subconsciously looked around. She found that the office was probably only a few square meters, less than ten square meters, and contained only a desk, two chairs, and a filing cabinet.
“Aunt Zhang, you know my parents have been sent to the countryside, and I’ll be going there in two days. Once we’re all gone, it’s not appropriate to just leave the house like this.”
I'd like to sign a rental contract with your subdistrict office to rent out my house to you for use as an office building. Do you think this idea is appropriate?
Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I won't take advantage of the neighborhood committee. I'll rent it to you for free; your daily maintenance of the house will be considered rent.
Song Ziqing poured out her thoughts in one breath. Director Zhang was initially surprised, but also delighted. If she could really accomplish this, her prestige in the entire subdistrict office would definitely rise even higher.
However, when she heard Song Ziqing say that she didn't want rent, she felt sorry for her: "Ziqing, if your family really wants to rent the house to the neighborhood committee, of course we, the neighborhood committee, would welcome it. After all, you know the situation of our neighborhood committee."
If we don't charge you rent, it would seem like we're taking advantage of you, which wouldn't be good for our neighborhood office's reputation. However, I'm glad your mother thinks this way. After all the changes we've gone through, you've really grown up and become more sensible, understanding that sometimes suffering a loss is a blessing.
Director Zhang is always worried about the current situation of Song Ziqing's mother, Zhang Lihua, and wonders what has become of his pampered friend.
The previous changes came too quickly and caught everyone off guard. She couldn't help Zhang Lihua at all, but she could still help with Song Ziqing's matter. Moreover, she didn't think her colleagues at the neighborhood office would object to such a good thing being offered to her.
She comforted Song Ziqing for a while, then left the office to discuss Song Ziqing's proposal with other colleagues and two deputy directors.
Upon hearing Director Zhang's words, everyone unanimously agreed. After all, no one could refuse such a good deal that was offered to them. Their street office served the nearby villas and knew the situation of Song Ziqing's villa very well. With such a spacious office building, their colleagues in the street office would be able to show off from now on.
Song Ziqing signed the rental contract very quickly; she left the neighborhood office in less than half an hour.
Director Zhang watched her leave, then hurried back to his office, intending to inquire about the current whereabouts of the Song couple and try to find out their address before Song Ziqing left Shanghai.
After leaving the neighborhood office, Song Ziqing felt completely relaxed. He had finally accomplished something, and his efforts to find his parents had a direction now.
Walking along the familiar yet unfamiliar street, Song Ziqing had no interest in looking around. In 1960s Shanghai, this was one of the most prosperous streets. The pedestrians passing by were dressed like the elites of the era, and everyone was very fashionable.
Today she wore only a simple, ordinary set of blue trousers and a white shirt, an outfit that wouldn't attract much attention in a crowd.
But at that moment, she didn't realize that she was just deceiving herself.
Song Ziqing has exquisite and striking features, and her temperament is even more ethereal. No matter how simply she dresses, her unparalleled beauty cannot be concealed.
She was taking in the scenery on both sides of the street, and people not far away were also looking at her.
Lin Chengyu has been observing his fiancée for the past few days. He is a reborn person, and he noticed a few days ago that Song Ziqing seemed to have become a different person.
He felt that Song Ziqing had also been reborn.
He also discovered that she had gone directly to stealing.
Especially when he discovered that she had a magical cheat code, as someone who had been reborn from the future, he knew that Song Ziqing possessed something similar to a storage bag in online novels.
Lin Chengyu felt that such a treasure was extremely useful in such a large social environment, so he wanted to snatch it from her.
He climbed over the wall and went to the Song family's house, intending to knock her unconscious and steal her golden finger.
He searched and searched on Song Ziqing, but couldn't find it anywhere. He guessed that the cheat code had already been contracted by Song Ziqing, and no one else could take it away. That's why he was so angry.
In just two days, Song Ziqing's temperament had completely changed, transforming from vulgar to otherworldly. Such a completely opposite temperament could never exist in one person.
Based on his experience reading online novels, he guessed that Song Ziqing might be a different person, or perhaps a time traveler.
The thought that he would have to accompany his fiancée, Song Ziqing, to the countryside in two days, as ordered by his parents, made him feel that the life ahead would definitely be very interesting.
If it were someone else, Lin Chengyu wouldn't be too resistant to the idea of a fiancée, but he would still hesitate to accept her directly.
Having been reborn, Lin Chengyu wants to live more freely. He will no longer live for others as he did in his previous life; in this life, he wants to live for himself.
In his previous life, the Lin family couple wanted to repay the Song family's favor, and more importantly, they wanted to take over the Song family's ancestral property. They tied him and Song Ziqing together early on, making them an engaged couple at a young age. Neither he nor Song Ziqing liked each other.
Later, the Song couple were sent to the countryside. The Lin couple, for the sake of the Song family's hidden treasure, still wanted to tie the two together and even plotted to have him accompany Song Ziqing to the countryside.
Despite his scheming, Song Ziqing was outmaneuvered and imprisoned by the Wang family for the rest of his life.
Lin Chengyu, however, could only go to the countryside alone in silence.
Lin Chengyu lived in the countryside for more than ten years. He went from a young man in his teens or twenties with a lot of ambition in Shanghai to a rural man in Shengang Village who fished and worked in the fields every day. When he returned to Shanghai, everything had changed.
All three members of the Song family died tragically.
Lin Chengyu no longer hated the Song family for causing him to be sent to the countryside, after all, they were all just pitiful people who had been schemed against.
The Lin family unexpectedly discovered the Song family's treasure. Over the next ten years, they transformed themselves into leaders of the Shanghai Machinery Factory. After the reform and opening up, they went into business and became high-ranking officials.
When the Lin family lived a life of wealth and glory, they completely forgot that they had a son and a brother suffering in the countryside.
