Zhou Zheng glanced at Jiang Lan meaningfully and said slowly: "Did you say this out in advance?"

Jiang Lan hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I didn't say it."

Zhou Zheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said: "It's great that you didn't. I have something to go on a business trip these two days, so I can't get together. I can only wait until Qin Hengzhi comes back next time."

Jiang Lan's face flushed instantly, biting her lip, looking at Zhou Zheng awkwardly without speaking.

Zhou Zheng sighed silently in his heart. No need to think, this must be because her mind went blank when she saw Qin Hengzhi.

He deliberately asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like this? I'm going to work."

As he spoke, Zhou Zheng walked forward quickly.

Then he was grabbed by Jiang Lan: "Brother Zheng, I didn't think too much just now. I was hot-headed for a moment and said that you guys were preparing to invite them both to dinner.

Brother Zheng, see if you can squeeze out some time, even if it's just to tell Brother Hengzhi. Whether they go or not is their business, but I've already said it.

Brother Zheng, you can't stand by and watch me die. You have to cover for me no matter what.

After helping me cover it, I will definitely invite you to dinner later."

"Invite me to eat what?"

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Zhou Zheng glanced at Jiang Lan and said with feigned helplessness: "Then I'll find a way to push off the business trip. Otherwise, you've already said the big words. If your Brother Zheng doesn't cover for you, who will?"

"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Jiang Lan said this thank you sincerely, almost bowing to him.

After getting Zhou Zheng's promise, Jiang Lan also happily chatted and laughed with Zhou Zheng as they walked out of the Zhou family gate.

Mother Zhou, who was secretly looking into the courtyard in the Zhou family living room, curled her lips and said to Father Zhou: "This girl is not at all reserved with our Xiao Zheng."

Father Zhou said: "That's a matter for young people, don't meddle blindly."

"How is it me meddling blindly? Our son is not young anymore. Look at Qin Hengzhi, he is already married, and his partner is so excellent."

After a pause in her tone, Mother Zhou said sourly with implication: "If you shouldn't miss someone, don't miss them. Being steady is better than anything."

"Look at what you're saying, what's the use of saying it in front of me? If you have the ability, mention it in front of your son."

Mother Zhou sighed: "Actually, Lan girl is quite good, really... but, our courtyard produced a Qin Hengzhi. It's really not an exaggeration, he compared all these stinky boys down, which led to those girls having high standards. Otherwise, Lan girl and our Xiao Zheng would be a match made in heaven."

But I always feel a trace of regret, as if she was picked over by Qin Hengzhi.

However, Mother Zhou didn't dare to say this.

If this was said, she didn't know how many people would be offended.

And young people admire beauty, liking those who look good is normal. She didn't like ugly ones when she was young either.

If she really cared about it, it would just be making things difficult for herself.

"Don't they all advocate freedom of love now? Let them go, I definitely won't meddle. I'm just afraid that your son is the only one who is enthusiastic. Lan girl has been admitted to university."

Although the university is not very good, it is still a university student.

After graduation, she will be a proper state cadre.

And no matter which unit the Jiang family finds someone to be assigned to, there is a solid and good foundation.

And her son, except for studying, likes everything else.

Father Zhou nodded in agreement: "What you said is somewhat reliable."

Mother Zhou was still a little envious: "Qin Hengzhi is also lucky to have met Lu Qiao. I heard that she works at the General Bureau of Foreign Trade while going to school, and it's an official position."

Father Zhou frowned and said disapprovingly: "They say you can't do two things at once, going to school and working at the same time. Don't end up not doing either well..."

At this time, Lu Qiao was registering at the gate with the relevant documents.

The gatekeeper grandpa looked Lu Qiao up and down, also full of questions.

This overly young and beautiful girl was Lu Qiao, who had been promoted from the grassroots level by the leaders after a lot of effort.

But in the end, he still kindly said to her: "The leaders above have told me that if you come to report, I should take you to the Fifth Division to find Director Lu first."

Lu Qiao did not refuse and thanked the gatekeeper grandpa with a smile.

So Lu Qiao followed the gatekeeper grandpa towards the Fifth Division.

Nowadays, the office buildings of various units are simple and unadorned.

Even one office building has several units squeezed together.

Even in Beidu, this is the case.

And because Beidu is the capital, this phenomenon is even more serious.

Now the General Bureau of Foreign Trade, the General Bureau of Industry, the General Bureau of Agriculture, the Women's Federation, and the General Trade Union are all working in one building.

The General Bureau of Foreign Trade is on the third floor, and the entire floor is its own.

When going up the stairs, the gatekeeper grandpa couldn't help but ask Lu Qiao: "You have to go to school and work, can you manage the time? I don't know what the leaders above are thinking. Don't end up not being able to take care of either side, wasting time and the country's resources in vain."

Lu Qiao looked at the gatekeeper grandpa calmly.

Intuition told her that this was not an ordinary gatekeeper grandpa.

But no matter what he did before, he should just be an old man who retired and was rehired.

And he should have just started work these few days.

Lu Qiao remembered that she had heard from Little Cangcang that this should be the old director who retired a month ago.

Lu Qiao said very modestly: "I forgot where I saw a passage that said time is like a sponge. It looks like it's gone, but in fact, if you squeeze it, there is still some.

The leader's arrangement is trust and understanding of me. Naturally, I cannot let down this trust. Whether it is study or work, I will try my best to coordinate and take care of both, so as not to let the leader down.

But thank you, Grandpa, for your reminder. Thank you, I will act according to my ability."

The old director looked at Lu Qiao with surprise.

Just when registering at the guard room, he knew that this little girl had seen the world.

Standing there... the aura of her whole body was completely different from the young people who were nervous when they first came to report.

Those who didn't know would think she had been working here for several years.

He knew that this girl was Old Qin's granddaughter-in-law.

Just now he also specifically looked, this girl came by bicycle.

Old Qin and that kid Qin Hengzhi didn't follow.

But he just started work today, they must not know.

It seems they are very relieved about Lu Qiao.

On the way, someone saw the old director and called him Comrade Old Song. It seems this was instructed in advance.

Just don't know what the current director feels when seeing the old director watching the gate.

Old Song softened his expression: "This opportunity is very rare, you must cherish it well."

Lu Qiao didn't know if the old man was referring to the work opportunity or the study opportunity.

Then let's assume it's both.

Soon they arrived at the gate of the Fifth Division, and then Lu Qiao saw Gu Jiayan at a glance, holding a newspaper and drinking tea, leaning on the back of the chair, looking very leisurely...
