Chapter 476: Old married couple, they just don't know their own strength when they kiss!

~8 min read 1,484 words

After eating and drinking their fill, people felt difficult and wanted to nap.

The family of four went to find a hotel, a place to stay.

In the past, you could only stay in guesthouses when going out, but since the economic development policy opened up in recent years, some hotels have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

People have more choices, so naturally, they don't have to stick to guesthouses.

And now, identity cards have started to be used, which is enough to prove identity; it's not like before when you had to write an introduction letter to go out, and if the brigade leader or unit leader didn't approve, you couldn't go.

However, at this time, identity cards only have 15 digits, unlike the 18 digits in later generations.

Now, as long as you have money, you can basically travel anywhere in the mountains and rivers.

The family of four naturally opened a large bed room, but they didn't come at the right time today; the large bed rooms were all booked, and only one luxury suite was left.

It was a few yuan more expensive, but it was bigger inside, and it was a suite with a mother and child room.

After Jiang Ye looked around, he booked it without hesitation.

It wasn't because he was tempted by the fact that there were two rooms, one large and two small, with three beds.

He purely didn't want the family of four to open two rooms separately; wouldn't that be more wasteful of money?

The two children didn't think much, and they entered the smaller suite one after another, each occupying a bed, and fell asleep as soon as they lay down.

This bed was much bigger than the bed in the sleeper on the train; they could roll however they wanted.

After Jiang Ye closed the suite door and locked it, the children were grown up; they couldn't just break into their room casually, right?

Shen Man laughed, she was too clear about the man's routines.

But she had no power to parry, after all, she also ate this set from the other party.

They say women at thirty are like fierce tigers, and men at thirty are no good.

Calculating, in two more years, she would be almost thirty.

And what she found a bit strange was, was her man over thirty?

Why was he still not "no good"? This common saying needed to be verified...

Fortunately, the man had already had a vasectomy, otherwise, she would have had to give birth to a few more over these years, or she would have been forced to wear an IUD.

Thinking of the latter, she couldn't help but sigh at the man's foresight.

"Why are you so distracted? It's my fault for letting you still have the heart to think about other things..."

"No,"

Shen Man was distracted for a few seconds, and she was caught!

Old married couple, they just don't know their own strength when they kiss!

A new department head came to the Northeast, and many unit leaders received the news and came to visit.

They were all told that the leader had been kidnapped on the train and was frightened, and was currently recuperating and not seeing guests.

This matter had a bit of a connection with the Railway Bureau, so the Railway Bureau director went back angrily to investigate the situation.

After the investigation, he knew that the leader had indeed been kidnapped by robbers on the train and was injured!

Although it wasn't within the scope of the railway bureau he was responsible for, as the municipal railway bureau director, he couldn't escape being called to an emergency meeting to strengthen railway management.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got; he felt like he had eaten a firecracker, wanting to scold anyone he saw.

Just as he passed the bulletin board, seeing Gu Tingchen's absence message completely ignited him!

"What kind of thing is this? The iron rice bowl isn't being eaten well, just thinking about being absent and seeking pleasure. What qualifications does this kind of person have to continue working in the Railway Bureau? Fire him!"

Because the director spoke, when Gu Tingchen came to work dejectedly the next day, he was told he had been fired. His brain was like a bolt from the blue, and he stood there in a daze.

How could they fire him?

He had clearly come to work at the agreed time!

"The director spoke. Someone like you, with bad character, lazy behavior, and a mouth that speaks without thinking, is not qualified to be a railway policeman."

His colleagues had complex eyes and relayed the reason.

Honestly, Gu Tingchen had once climbed up step by step from this railway bureau and was transferred to the Capital to be a deputy director; he was truly glorious at that time!

Only a few years later, he was beaten back to his original shape, and he was mixing worse and worse.

Now he had even lost his job, and he didn't know what he could do in the future.

"Let me in, I want to see the director. What right does he have to fire me?"

"I have merit; I once served as a guard for that person. If it weren't for that person going early, my future would definitely be limitless!"

"Spies and enemy agents weren't introduced by me, and I didn't collude with them. Why did they strip me of my position, send me to such a small place, and then find fault with me in various ways, making me laid off? It's unfair!"

Gu Tingchen knew he was finished. If he really let the director fire him, his whole life would be ruined!

"What a big tone!"

"Do you think it was your ability that let you rise to the Capital? That was your grandfather begging for help when he was alive to find a way to send you there!"

"Your eyes, you're young, but your eyes are no good. I heard you married a childhood sweetheart at first, why did you change people so quickly and marry a woman who colluded with enemy agents as your wife?"

"It was your own inability to recognize people, and your ambition was too big, so you fell into someone else's trap and were deeply trapped, unable to extricate yourself!"

"Why do I want to fire you? Look at your attendance, look at your complaints, look at what you look like now!"

"Gu Tingchen, do you think you are still that spirited teenager?"

"No, you are already over 30, but you have no achievements and have accomplished nothing; you are just a piece of trash!"

"You drink alcohol all day, don't work well, and your wife ran away, right?"

"Our temple here is small and can't accommodate your big Buddha, so please raise your hand and seek another job!"

The director's tone was no longer "hating iron for not becoming steel," but looking at a piece of rotten wood that couldn't be carved.

Once, he also felt that Gu Tingchen was a piece of good jade, and as long as he was well-carved, he would definitely shine.

But when he saw what the other party had done over these years, he was completely disappointed!

This person was just too good at disguising himself, disguising himself as gentle as jade, disguising himself as modest and polite.

But once exposed, one would discover that the other party was nowhere near a piece of fine jade; he was clearly rotten wood that had been decayed from the start!

This kind of person would not have any great future; on the contrary, because he had once held a high position, he would not be content with being ordinary from now on.

One could tell from the complaint letters over the years that Gu Tingchen had offended quite a few people, not just colleagues and superiors, but also ordinary commoners.

If he kept such a person at the Railway Bureau for one more day, he might face even more troublesome issues in the future!

Just as Gu Tingzheng wanted to say something else, a communications officer trotted over to the Bureau Chief with a grave expression—

"Report to the Bureau Chief, the Ministry of State Security and the Special Service Department called to say that a mother and daughter were found smuggling themselves in the aircraft luggage compartment. After investigation, they are the wife and daughter of our bureau's Gu Tingchen, named Ye Mei Qin and Gu Yun Lan..."

What is it like when it rains on top of a leaking roof?

This is it.

Gu Tingchen felt as if he were isolated by everyone on a deserted island.

Good news: the wife was found.

Bad news: caught smuggling.

The problems left behind are about to be unraveled thread by thread.
