Chapter 90: The Spring Wind is in High Tide

After sobering up in the afternoon, Liu Zhiye slowly walked to the office on the third floor, which was once the independent space belonging to Director Qu.

The atmosphere of the office is quiet and mysterious, and the elegant decoration style makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, what comes into view is a large desk with various documents and stationery placed on the desktop, as if telling of the busy times that once happened here.

Next to it is a row of tall bookcases filled with various books and materials, demonstrating Director Qu's knowledge and pursuits.

After Deputy Director Qu retired due to illness, he took only a small portion of his personal belongings with him and left most of them to his successor.

Li Shujuan, the security officer, brought two fresh and beautiful girls, knocked on the door gracefully, and then walked gently into the room.

"Deputy Director Liu! Are you busy?" She greeted Liu Zhiye who was busy with his work with a smile.

The two little girls behind him also saluted and greeted him, blushing shyly, secretly glancing at the number one bachelor in the Red Star Factory.

"Wow! Our three golden flowers from the Security Department are here. We'd like to trouble you three to help clean up the room." Liu Zhiye looked at the two girls in front of him with a gentle smile on his face, and asked them to help clean up the room.

Li Shujuan gazed at Liu Zhiye affectionately. She was also single and had once had feelings for him. However, fate was like a tragicomedy: the goddess was interested, but the king was ruthless.

Thinking of this person, who is about to get married, my heart suddenly felt a little sad.

Despite this, she did not become depressed. Instead, she responded to Liu Zhiye with a smile and started to get busy with the two little girls.

Li Shujuan not only has an elegant temperament, but also has rich work experience. She is an outstanding officer in the Security Department.

She is serious and responsible in her work and always completes her tasks excellently. These two fresh and beautiful girls are also the fresh blood of the Security Department, and they are full of vitality.

After they finished helping, Liu Zhiye kindly stopped the three girls who were about to leave.

He took out a bag of fruit candies from the drawer and handed them to the three of them so they could share it.

This sweet gift made the third girl so happy that she forgot herself and smiled with her back teeth showing, as if the whole world had become sweet.

In the afternoon, when it was still early after get off work, he drove Director Jiang's GAZ jeep and leisurely came to the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office.

Thinking that Director Jiang will be promoted soon and his vehicle will be changed, this GAZ jeep will become his special car, he can't help but look forward to it secretly.

"Auntie Wang! Are you busy?"

When Director Wang saw that it was Liu Zhiye, he immediately smiled. The mother and daughter had not seen each other for a while, and they were very enthusiastic when they met.

Liu Zhiye was already very familiar with this office. He easily found Aunt Wang's collection of tea, made a cup, and savored it slowly.

After he sat down, Director Wang asked with a smile: "Liu Zhiye, is your training over?"

Liu Zhiye nodded with a smile that showed a little satisfaction. "Aunt! The training is over. I just came back yesterday."

Hearing this news, Aunt Wang also smiled and nodded, feeling deeply moved. Ever since the first time the mother and daughter met, the relationship between them has been like a trickle, growing deeper and deeper.

"Have you been promoted at the Red Star Factory?" Aunt Wang asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, Aunt Wang. I was just announced as deputy director today." Liu Zhiye raised his head proudly, his face full of pride. His promotion to the Red Star Factory was not only his personal honor, but also a reward for the support and trust these relatives and friends had always given him.

Aunt Wang was filled with emotion when she heard this. This young man was not only talented, but also had a grateful heart. Such a person deserved her help and support.

"Auntie Wang! You and my dear uncle have always been in good health, right?" Liu Zhiye asked with concern.

"Of course, everything is fine. You don't have to worry. We are both still young and strong, and we can still fight for the revolutionary cause for a few more years." Aunt Wang replied with a smile.

"I'm going to visit you and my uncle in a few days. I haven't been to your house for such a long time, and I'm craving the braised fish you made." He then joked.

"Okay! Call your wife, she hasn't been there for a while, I'll make you two a nice meal."

……

After get off work, Liu Zhiye picked up Gan Ning, and the "couple" returned home together, and a picture of love and harmony came into view.

Liu Zhiye patted the steering wheel with a proud look on his face and said to Gan Ning jokingly, "Wife! How about this? This car will be mine from now on. You will be the director's wife from now on!"

Gan Ning couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and corrected him, "It's the deputy's!"

"By the way! Are we going home directly? Then I'll go buy some fruit to bring back."

Liu Zhiye said, "No, let's go to your house first." Gan Ning: "Okay! Let's go."

Liu Zhiye said, "What?" with a black question mark on his face. What do you mean, I don't need to buy it when I go to your house?

Without saying a word, he started the car and drove straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, asking Gan Ning to wait patiently in the car.

Not long after, he brought out a large green-skinned watermelon, several pounds of brightly colored peaches, and crystal clear grapes, filling two large bags.

After getting in the car, he took out a fresh peach, wiped it gently, and handed it to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning took it, her face full of sweetness. It must be said that Liu Zhiye is a thoughtful person.

When the two returned to the Peking University staff housing estate, their mother-in-law heard the noise and hurried out to greet them.

"Mom! We're back." After the two got engaged, they changed their words to their parents. After all, they were getting married in less than a month, so they got the certificate a while ago.

Professor Cui looked at the returning couple with joy in his eyes.

She ignored her daughter, but grabbed her son-in-law's arm and went into the house, leaving Gan Ning pouting in dissatisfaction.

The father-in-law was busy killing fish in the kitchen, so Liu Zhiye went into the room to greet him first.

"Wow! Dad! Where did you get this fish? It must weigh about 7 or 8 kilograms, right?"

Gan Weimin raised his head when he heard his voice.

"Hey! Zhiye is back. You go to the living room and rest first. I just bought this fish at the pigeon market. It weighs about 7 or 8 kilograms and is very lively. I'll make you some steamed fish."

"Okay! Dad! Do you want me to help you?"

"No need, you can take a rest. I don't have anything to do today, so I came back early. It's a good time to stretch my muscles."

"Okay then. I'll wait for the food to start!" Liu Zhiye wasn't polite either.

"Go! Go! I'll be done soon, let's have a drink later." Gan Weimin liked Liu Zhiye's casualness and lack of distance.

When he returned to the living room, Professor Cui had already made tea, arranged the fruits, and asked him to sit down and rest.

"Mom! Is everything going well at home lately?" Liu Zhiye asked with concern.

Professor Cui peeled some fruit for him and said, "Everything is fine at home. Have you finished your training?"

"Mom! It's all over. My appointment as deputy director has been officially approved."

Professor Cui said with a big smile: "That's great. Zhiye is really happy for you. Look, you are about to get married. You can finally settle down and prepare for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, Mom! We will. From now on, I will focus on preparing for the wedding." Liu Zhiye said sincerely.

"..."

dinner.

Gan Weimin took out a bottle of white wine in a porcelain bottle, which was the prize awarded by the Ministry of Industry at the end of last year - Five-Star Moutai.

"Zhiye! Let's drink this tonight."

"Dad! You are so willing to give it away. Just keep it. We can have Red Star Erguotou." Liu Zhiye felt a little sorry for the wine.

"Oh! What are you keeping it for? I don't give gifts, and I don't ask for anything from anyone. It's just for the two of us to drink." Gan Weimin unscrewed the bottle cap and did not allow for refusal.

The father-in-law urged him to drink, his eyes full of love. The mother-in-law felt sorry for her son-in-law and gently advised him, "Zhiye, don't listen to your father. Eat a few more bites of vegetables. Your stomach won't be able to bear it." Her voice was gentle and concerned, full of care and protection for her son-in-law.

Gan Ning looked left and right, wondering if I was superfluous? Was no one paying attention to me?
So he got a little angry and put his hand on Liu Zhiye's thigh and twisted it hard.

"Silk!"

Liu Zhiye was a little confused.

I'm fine, what happened? Why are you being so cruel to me?

Then he looked at his wife, but saw only the back of her beautiful head.
