Chapter 705

Old Master Qin glanced at Qin Hengzhi.

Deep down, he approved of Lu Qiao's decision.

Although it seemed like an exception, this was also the care the General Bureau wanted to give in advance to retain Lu Qiao.

Otherwise, given Lu Qiao's academic qualifications, ability, and experience, where could she not go?

It wasn't as if she absolutely had to go to the General Bureau, right?

Old Master Qin thought that if Qiao wanted to, the gates of the military would also be open to her.

Therefore, Qiao could completely go to report as normal, openly, frankly, and could even stand at the gate of the General Bureau with full justification.

If he or Hengzhi followed, it might seem like Qiao had a backer, but in reality, the nature of the matter would change.

But he was not sure now what his eldest grandson would do.

The next second, Qin Hengzhi nodded: "Okay."

Old Master Qin immediately smiled: "Qiao, your second uncle and the others want to invite you to eat roast duck at a restaurant. After you finish reporting, let Hengzhi pick you up."

Lu Qiao naturally agreed.

Afterwards, she rode the new bicycle that Qin Hengzhi had bought for her long ago and soon disappeared from Qin Hengzhi's sight.

Only when Lu Qiao's shadow could no longer be seen did Qin Hengzhi walk into the courtyard with Old Master Qin.

While walking, Qin Hengzhi said: "Grandfather, I will return to Jiangcheng in a week."

"Is the arrangement here settled?"

"Yes, the handover has been completed smoothly."

The old master did not ask what was handed over, and said directly: "Go back and work hard. You don't need to worry about Qiao. Beidu is also her home. Although... that unit is a bit complicated, they still have to weigh the consequences if they want to bully her."

Qin Hengzhi curled his lips. If someone wanted to bully Qiao, not to mention whether he would agree, with Qiao's ability, could they even bully her?

But he still nodded.

Grandfather's concern was genuine, so he naturally had to go along with the old man's thoughts.

Just then, a very pretty girl with ear-length short hair ran towards them.

This girl was Jiang Lan, who had once asked Lu Qiao to play table tennis.

The Jiang family lived not far from the Qin family and were also old neighbors and friends for many years. For a period of time, Old Mrs. Jiang and Grandma Qin stopped interacting because Grandma Qin went to Old Mrs. Jiang's place to stand up for Lu Qiao.

Old Mrs. Jiang was not very happy because her granddaughter had been hit by a ball on her forehead and had made a fool of herself.

But after all, her own granddaughter was in the wrong, so Old Mrs. Jiang never dared to speak up.

However, not refuting did not mean she thought Grandma Qin's behavior was good.

So she really didn't go to Grandma Qin to talk.

But after all, they were old neighbors for many years, and their respective spouses were also old comrades-in-arms. Even if they didn't have a life-and-death friendship, they had shared joys and sorrows, and after a long time, they resumed contact.

And Lu Qiao returned last night.

After eating and tidying up, she rested early.

But before this, Old Mrs. Jiang also knew that Lu Qiao had scored first in the whole province and then was admitted to Beidu University with excellent grades. To tell the truth, the old lady was also very impressed.

Qin Hengzhi was capable, and she didn't expect the wife he married to be so capable as well, which really made people envious.

When Grandma Qin told her that Lu Qiao's identity was not just a student, and that she had now been officially transferred to the General Bureau of Foreign Trade, Old Mrs. Jiang didn't know how to express her feelings.

She could only say congratulations to Grandma Qin, your granddaughter-in-law is so amazing...

Last night at home, she couldn't help but think of these things.

Her granddaughter Jiang Lan also took the college entrance examination, but her grades were average.

But at least she was going to university in Beidu.

She had been playing wildly these days. When she returned, Old Mrs. Jiang told Jiang Lan about Lu Qiao.

"... You really think that getting into university means everything is fine. You also have to learn a lot of things in university. If you don't learn well, you won't be able to graduate, and the country won't assign you a job. You think everyone is like Lu Qiao, who has a job before school even starts..."

Jiang Lan and Lu Qiao had no contact.

There was the reason of Cao Lanzhu in the middle.

But in fact, her relationship with Cao Lanzhu was also average. And she hadn't seen Cao Lanzhu for a long time.

But it was said that because of her aunt's affairs, all the children of the Cao family were not allowed to take this exam.

It wasn't schadenfreude, but thinking of Cao Lanzhu couldn't help but remind her of Lu Qiao.

Jiang Lan said disapprovingly: "Isn't it normal to go to school with a job? Originally, the authorities now stipulate that for those with more than 5 years of work experience, the unit still pays a salary every month."

Old Mrs. Jiang curled her lips: "You think it's an ordinary job? She was transferred to the General Bureau of Foreign Trade as an exception. I heard she is going to report tomorrow."

This was quite surprising.

Old Mrs. Jiang also meaningfully said to her granddaughter: "... Qin Hengzhi is already married, and his wife is very excellent. Not only is she excellent, but she is also so beautiful... For someone like Lu Qiao, getting along well with her is good for the future."

After the things with the Cao family, Jiang Lan now had many thoughts that were different from before.

Actually, what Grandma said was right.

That's why she ran to find Lu Qiao early in the morning.

Seeing Qin Hengzhi, her heart still couldn't help but tremble.

There was no way, no matter which circle, there was no one like Qin Hengzhi.

If you looked for a partner according to Qin Hengzhi's standards, you would never find one in this lifetime.

So Jiang Lan gave up.

It was just that every time she saw the handsome Qin Hengzhi, especially today, Qin Hengzhi was wearing a crisp military uniform and the whole person was shining.

Especially since he was not talkative, which gave him an indescribable unique charm.

That was something Zhou Zheng and the others in the courtyard couldn't compare to.

Jiang Lan clenched her hands tightly and said to Old Master Qin: "Grandpa Qin, I heard that Lu Qiao came to Beidu University to study, and she arrived yesterday. Is she at home? I came to find her to play."

Old Master Qin laughed: "What a coincidence, my Qiao went to report to the General Bureau of Foreign Trade. She just left a while ago, and I don't know when she will be back."

Seeing that Qin Hengzhi was about to leave, Jiang Lan was anxious and said urgently: "Brother Hengzhi... that... Zhou Zheng and the others know you are back and said to get together these few days. When do you have time?"

Qin Hengzhi's footsteps paused, but he still patiently said to Jiang Lan: "This depends on Qiao's work schedule."

Finally, he said: "I still have something to do, excuse me first."

After speaking, he walked into the Qin family's courtyard without looking back.

Old Master Qin glanced at the disappointed Jiang Lan, sighed in his heart, carried his hands behind his back, and walked away slowly.

Anyway, he had nothing to talk about with a little girl.

Jiang Lan stood there, then turned and walked towards her own home.

Halfway there, she took a turn and hurriedly ran to find Zhou Zheng. She had lied just now.

Zhou Zheng and the others hadn't discussed inviting Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiao to dinner. Saying this was just an excuse she had found just now.

Jiang Lan ran quite fast and happened to see Zhou Zheng, who was about to go out, at the gate of the Zhou family: "Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiao are back. Qin Hengzhi will stay at home for about a week. This is the first time they have returned together since they got married. We should invite them to dinner."
