"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Haitang just opened her mouth when she was glared at by Li Qiang, who was so frightened that she quickly changed her words.
However, even though Haitang said so, she still cautiously asked bravely: "If... I mean if, if that woman comes back to find you, you..."
"...Want to hear the truth?" After a long silence, Li Qiang slowly asked.
Haitang was even more surprised, but after coming back to her senses, she nodded gently and said, "Well..."
"If it were a peaceful time, I would definitely be with her at all costs, but now..." At this point, Li Qiang took a deep breath, "I can't find a reason to convince myself."
"Then...do you hate me?" Haitang asked again.
Li Qiang asked, "If I hated you, would I still marry you?"
"But...but you clearly know that it was me...it was me who broke up the two of you. If I hadn't secretly reported it to the peak, I wouldn't have..."
"Okay Haitang, you don't need to blame yourself so much. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the dark until now!"
"No, listen to me, actually..."
However, before Haitang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Qiang raising his hand, "Don't say anything else. In fact, from the moment she chose to deceive me, she and I were destined to end like this.
So you don’t need to feel any guilt, let alone blame yourself, you just did what you should do.”
"I……"
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early!"
After saying that, Li Qiang got up and went back to the room.
After a speechless night, Li Qiang arrived early the next morning at the newly established Qingxiang Committee Suzhou Office located in Xinfu Lane, Shizi Street, Suzhou City.
He didn't want to bump into Li Shiqun who looked in a bad mood as soon as he entered the door. Li Qiang couldn't avoid it, so he had to bite the bullet and take the initiative to say hello, "Hello Secretary General!"
However, Li Shiqun just snorted, and then said angrily, "Come in with me!" and left without looking back.
Naturally, Li Qiang did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly followed him. After a short time, he followed Li Shiqun into the office.
"Did you come to my house yesterday?" Li Shiqun asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.
"...Yes, subordinate... I plan to take advantage of the reorganization of the Suppression Headquarters to get married to my fiancée, so I shamelessly paid a visit and asked Sister Qing to help me say a few nice words to you and give my subordinates a few more days off...
"
"Oh, really?" Li Shiqun couldn't help but said with amusement after hearing this, "Just ask for leave if you ask for leave. Why do you want to bother Secretary Shen?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang's nerves suddenly became tense, because it was not difficult to judge from Li Shiqun's tone that Ye Jiqing most likely blamed Shen Gengmei's transfer to him.
.
Thinking of this, Li Qiang immediately admitted his mistake like a child who had made a mistake.
The reason for this was a helpless move. After all, Li Shiqun was still angry. Instead of racking his brains to defend himself, it would be better to honestly admit his mistake. This might lead to reprimand from Li Shiqun, but at least it would not offend Ye Jiqing.
However, what surprised Li Qiang was that Li Shiqun did not reprimand him, but instead looked a little relieved.
"Hmph! If it weren't for your good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I would definitely vent all the anger in my heart on you!" At this point, Li Shiqun suddenly changed the subject, "But again,
Having said that, arranging a wedding certainly requires a lot of energy, but with your abilities, I think you’re not at the point where you’re running out of resources, right?”
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned, and then he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from you. To be honest with you, during this period, in addition to organizing my own marriage, I also have to complete
Director Tang gave me the task, so..."
Li Shiqun immediately became energetic after hearing this, and quickly asked: "What mission?"
"It just asked me to run here more often these days when I have nothing to do, but it didn't tell me what to do specifically. Anyway, it just asked me to run here at least twice a day and stay at least half an hour on each trip."
"This prodigal... ahem, what on earth is this guy doing?" Li Shiqun couldn't help but murmured a few words to himself, and then looked at Li Qiang again, "I said... you kid, are you hiding something?
Bar?"
"No, no, how can I have such courage? I really only know so much, and I would never dare to hide anything!"
"Okay! Since you said so, then I believe you, go ahead!"
"Yes..." After hearing this, Li Qiang hurriedly responded, and then turned around and walked out as if he had been granted amnesty. But when he was about to reach the door, he stopped again, turned to Li Shiqun and asked
, "Secretary-General, that...that Miss Shen..."
"Since you are so busy with so many things, let her stay with you for a while. But I have to say something ugly first. If she suffers the slightest injustice from you, I will take it upon you! Listen!
No?"
"I heard it, I heard it, don't worry, my subordinates will not let her suffer any injustice!"
After coming out of Li Shiqun's place, Li Qiang began to wander around the office confidently and boldly, and soon touched everything inside and outside the office.
I lowered my head and glanced at my watch. No more, no less, exactly half an hour.
After completing the task, Li Qiang left the office, returned to his residence, picked up Haitang, and went straight to the Land Affairs Bureau.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you two?" As soon as we entered the door, a female staff member in charge of reception came forward and asked.
"Oh, that's it. I have a property here and I need to go through the transfer procedures."
"Okay, are you the homeowner?"
"No, but I have the transfer contract signed by him."
"This... I'm sorry, sir, even if you have a transfer contract, we can't handle the transfer for you."
"That's it...since you can't make the decision, just ask your leader to come over."
"Sir, you misunderstood. According to regulations, there is no way to handle the transfer of ownership without the owner being present."
"Of course I know this is a rule. A small employee cannot make the decision, so I asked you to call the leader over."
"No sir, what I mean is that this is a dead rule in the bureau, even our leaders..."
Although the female staff member was still trying her best to explain, Li Qiang didn't care at all and repeatedly asked her to call out the person in charge.
Just when the two were about to quarrel, a hoarse voice rang out, "Why is it so noisy outside? What happened, Xiao Qin?"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of an office inside.
Upon seeing this, the female staff member named Xiao Qin immediately walked over and explained the situation to the man.
After hearing this, the man nodded first, then patted Xiao Qin on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to me to handle it, you go ahead and do your work first!"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Qin immediately cast a grateful look at him, sweetly said "Thank you, section chief", and returned to his post.
The section chief watched her go back, smelled the hand that patted Xiaoqin's shoulder obscenely, and then came to the two of them with satisfaction and said: "I understand your current mood very well.
But I'm sorry, what Xiao Qin said is right, we do have regulations here. When going through the house and land transfer procedures, the original owner must be present, so..."
To be honest, Li Qiang never expected that this unattractive and even somewhat wretched guy in front of him would be so polite to him. With just a few words, he had no reason to get angry.
So I had to ask patiently: "What if the homeowner really can't come?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid you have to explain the specific reasons. If we verify that the situation is true, it can be handled."
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang handed a house and land transfer contract to the section chief.
"No, sir, I know you have a transfer contract, but as I just said, if the homeowner cannot be present and you cannot explain the specific reasons, we cannot handle the transfer for you."
But even so, Li Qiang still insisted on putting the transfer contract into that person's hands.
The man had no choice but to take it and look at it a few times. It didn't matter. When he saw the signature on the contract, he was shocked and started to stutter when he spoke, "Wang..."
Wang Tianxiang?"
Li Qiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, "What, do you know each other?"
After hearing this, the man hurriedly waved his hands, "Who in the entire Suzhou and Hangzhou areas doesn't know him? It's just that I know him, but he doesn't know me. Otherwise, I would still be living in Qingshui Yamen?"
"In that case, you should know why he can't come, right?"
Hearing this, the man suddenly realized, "May I ask, sir, what is your surname?"
However, before Li Qiang could say anything, Haitang on the side finally couldn't help but snorted and said angrily: "Huh! Did you just think of asking now? What have you been doing long ago?"
"You are right about this madam. I was negligent. I was negligent."
Originally, Haitang wanted to take the opportunity to vent her anger, but as soon as she heard that person call her Mrs., most of her anger disappeared immediately and she didn't say anything else.
Li Qiang didn't say anything, but directly took out his ID and waved it in front of the man's eyes.
Even though it was just a fleeting moment, the man could still clearly see Li Qiang's surname and position.
"It turns out to be Director Ming of the Suppression Headquarters. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. Please forgive me for my indifference!" After saying that, he turned around and shouted, "Xiao Qin, don't be here.
You're so dumbfounded, why don't you go and get Director Ming a cup of tea?"
"No need for tea, you should hurry up and help me complete the transfer procedures!"
"No problem, no problem! You two, please sit here for a while and come back as soon as you go." After saying that, he hurried back with the land deed, land deed, house deed and the transfer contract that Li Qiang brought.
office.
It only took less than ten minutes for the man to come back.
"done?"
"done!"
"I didn't expect that even though you have poor eyesight, you are quite efficient at work!"
"It should, it should!" The man said as he handed the things in his hand back to Li Qiang one by one, "Director Ming, this is your house deed, this is your land deed, this is your
The land deed and all related procedures are all here, please keep them."
"Well, good!" After saying that, Li Qiang put those things away and was about to get up to open them. However, he stopped before he reached the door, turned around and asked, "Who is that?"
The man hurried forward and said diligently: "My surname is Zhu. Just call me Xiao Zhu."
"Xiao Zhu, to tell you the truth, we are new here. How should we get rid of the Sheng family that is on the property deed?"
After hearing this, Section Chief Zhu immediately said very politely: "That's it, then I'll drive you two there."
"Isn't it good? Even Qingshui Yamen doesn't allow people to go out without permission during working hours, right?"
"It doesn't matter, sitting in the office is our job, and taking people to confirm the transfer of property is also part of our job!"
Having said that, Li Qiang didn't say anything, so the two of them got into Chief Zhu's car and went straight to a private residence with a strong Soviet style owned by the Sheng family in the east of the city.
After getting off the car, Section Chief Zhu immediately transformed into a guide and began to explain everything in detail as soon as he entered the door, "Look, you two, this mansion was built in the late Ming Dynasty. It has an alley in front and a river behind it, surrounded by high walls.
There is a gatehouse and a patio. The layout is along the central axis. There are three entrances: the entrance hall, the main hall, and the living building. The order of the main houses is "front hall and back bedroom", which follows the ancient system without losing the traditional architectural format.
There are wing rooms and lanes on both wings of the living building, connected vertically and horizontally, extending in all directions. On the left side of the foyer is the library and living room; on the right side is the flower hall and garden..."
"I didn't expect you to know this house so well!"
"You're grateful. I just took a quick look at the drawings on the house deed when I was going through the formalities for you."
"That's already great!" After saying this, Li Qiang changed the topic again and said with a look of disgust, "But having said that, this house doesn't look as good as you said. I'm afraid it's at least abandoned.
It’s been more than ten years, right?”
Section Chief Zhu couldn't help but smile awkwardly after hearing this, "You are right, but although this house looks a bit dilapidated, its foundation is still there. I think it can be restored to its original appearance with a simple tidying up."
"Just clean it up. I don't think it's that simple. This is a big project! I originally wanted to use it as a wedding venue, but now it seems that I still miscalculated!"
Hearing this, Section Chief Zhu's ears suddenly stood up, and he immediately realized that his opportunity to show off had come, so he hurriedly asked: "May I ask Director Ming, how long is it before your wedding?"
