Chapter 354 Please Don't Make Things Difficult for Me
"no!"

Faced with Zhou Mingyu's surrender-like inquiry, Li Guoqiang still did not give in. He immediately shook his head and refused.

After all, once something is done, it has to be done thoroughly.

Otherwise, what would happen if Qian Weiguo changed his mind and asked Zhou Mingyu to stay just as he solved the housing problem?
Although he had prepared other sumptuous meals for Zhou Mingyu, it would be better to have less in order to avoid more trouble.

"you"

When Zhou Mingyu saw that Li Guoqiang was still unwilling to help Xiangmi Zhai overcome the difficulties, his face suddenly turned blue with anger.

Because if he did that, he would be held responsible for closing down Xiangmi Zhai.

"Section Chief Zhou!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then said softly: "You are still the person in charge of Xiangmi Zhai, so this matter can only be solved by you. If I intervene, wouldn't that be overstepping my authority?"

"Row!"

When Zhou Mingyu heard what Li Guoqiang said, he immediately understood what Li Guoqiang meant, and then nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't you just want to take back the position of person in charge? I can promise you that after returning to Chang County, I will propose to the leader that you continue to be the manager of Xiangmi Zhai. In this way, you can always find a way to solve the problem of the house first, right?"

"No no no!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, and then said seriously: "As the saying goes, one should not meddle in other people's business if he is not in the position. Even if you can let me take over as the manager of Xiangmi Zhai again, I have to wait until the appointment is made.

Otherwise, I would make a mistake!"

"you"

When Zhou Mingyu saw Li Guoqiang's stubborn look, he was so angry that he was speechless.

However, he also knew that Li Guoqiang was not to blame for this matter. If anyone was to blame, it was only his own greed that made him come here to pick peaches without even understanding the specific situation.

Now, not only did I fail to pick the peaches, but I also got into such a big trouble.

Thinking of this, he felt as if he had swallowed a handful of Coptis chinensis and felt extremely bitter.

However, at this moment, Li Guoqiang was not interested in caring whether Zhou Mingyu was feeling miserable or not.

In his opinion, since Zhou Mingyu dared to reach out, he should be prepared to have his hands chopped off.

Seeing that Zhou Mingyu hadn't said anything, he didn't say anything else. He turned around and went to the backyard to eat with Shang Xiuzhen and others.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingyu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Because he knew that no matter what he said, Li Guoqiang would not be willing to help him.

Instead of wasting time arguing with Li Guoqiang, he might as well think about how to explain to Qian Weiguo when he returns.

In addition, he has now come to his senses and realized that he is just a cannon fodder tool pushed forward by Qian Weiguo.

If he could successfully take over Xiangmi Zhai, he would naturally have contributed a lot.

And if he can't, then he will be the scapegoat.

Just like now, if he can't solve the house problem and let Xiangmi Zhai close down or even go bankrupt, then being dismissed from his position would be the lightest punishment when he returns.

What is even more serious is that they will become sinners who destroy people’s livelihood and the economy.

By then, he will never be able to turn things around.

As he thought about it, his mood became not only very heavy, but even a little frightened, and he almost couldn't help but chase into the backyard to ask Li Guoqiang for help.

Fortunately, there was still a trace of rationality left in his mind, so he did not do such a shameful thing.

However, this trace of rationality has become increasingly weak as time goes by.

When Li Guoqiang finished his meal and wanted to ride his tricycle away, the tense nerves in his mind suddenly relaxed. He then hurried to Li Guoqiang and said with a hint of pleading on his face: "Comrade Li Guoqiang, please take it as a plea from me. Please have pity on me and help me find a way to solve the problem of this house!"

After saying this, he saw that Li Guoqiang looked unmoved, so he immediately steeled himself and made a gesture to kneel down.

At his age, he knows very well that compared with his future, that little bit of face means nothing at all.

What's more, this is in the old city. No matter how embarrassed he is, no one will know after he returns to Chang County.

For this purpose, he had already sent his three subordinates to the ice cellar in the backyard to help with the work.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhou Mingyu's arm to prevent him from kneeling down.

Then, he said with an unhappy look on his face: "Hey, Chief Zhou, why are you doing this? I have already told you very clearly before that I can't help you with this problem. Please don't embarrass me, okay?"

After saying that, he quickly rode away on his tricycle without waiting for Zhou Mingyu to react.

Zhou Mingyu looked at Li Guoqiang's leaving back, and his face turned pale and blue in an instant.

He didn't expect that even after he knelt down and begged Li Guoqiang, Li Guoqiang was still unwilling to help him.

Isn't this simply too heartless?

You know, he is a section-level cadre!

And Li Guoqiang is just a twenty-year-old little bastard. He is really being given face!

In that case, don't blame him for going all out.

Soon, he made up his mind to go back and sue Li Guoqiang severely.

At this time, Li Guoqiang had no idea about Zhou Mingyu's naive idea. He rode his tricycle and returned to the courtyard not long after. Then, while there were not many people in the yard, he went straight to Qin Jingru's house in the backyard.

When Qin Jingru saw Li Guoqiang suddenly running over, she was instantly surprised and almost couldn't help but drag Li Guoqiang into the house to fix the faucet for her.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly took a step back, then winked at Qin Jingru, and then quickly turned around and left.

When Qin Jingru saw Li Guoqiang's eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted immediately.

Then, she did not follow him immediately, but turned back into the house and closed the door.

Then, she changed her clothes with some excitement, wiped her body, waited patiently for more than ten minutes, then reopened the door and quietly walked out.

Not long after, she came to the grove where she and Li Guoqiang had first encountered each other, found the big rock that had been marked many times, and saw Li Guoqiang who had been waiting there.

Then, the two of them smiled at each other, and without saying a word, they started cooking the big white steamed buns.

They stopped only when Qin Jingru was full.

"Qiangzi, how about you give me a child?"

Qin Jingru rested for a while, then suddenly thought of something and spoke quickly.

"What?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly want a child?"

"Humph!"

Qin Jingru snorted, then said with some jealousy: "Don't think I don't know, Xiuzhen and Fengxia are all pregnant. Since you can give it to them, why can't you give it to me?"

"How can this be the same?"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he quickly explained: "Don't forget, you are still Xu Damao's wife. If you get pregnant, aren't you afraid that Xu Damao will kill you?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Qin Jingru glared, then said with disdain: "At worst, I can find a time to go to the countryside, get him drunk, and then say that the child is his."

"never mind!"

When Li Guoqiang heard that Qin Jingru had already thought of a solution, he frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "I don't have the hobby of letting my child recognize someone else as his father."

"That"

Qin Jingru was anxious when she heard this, and blurted out: "Then I will divorce him."

"no!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then quickly objected: "You can't divorce him now."

"no!"

Qin Jingru frowned, then asked in confusion: "Why is this happening?"

"you listen to me!"

Li Guoqiang's expression froze, and then he said seriously: "If you divorce Xu Damao now, it would be like helping him and allowing him to mess around in the countryside even more unscrupulously.

Besides, after you divorce him, you can no longer live in the city.

So, even if you want to leave me, you have to at least wait until I find you a formal job and transfer your household registration to the city."

"How long do we have to wait?"

Qin Jingru pouted, and then said somewhat unhappily: "You know, I'm almost thirty years old now. If I don't get pregnant soon, I might not be able to get pregnant in the future."

"I understand how you feel!"

Li Guoqiang nodded after hearing this, and then he spoke softly to comfort her, "But, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Just wait patiently for a while. I promise that I will make you pregnant by next year at the latest."

"Fine!"

After hearing what Li Guoqiang had said, Qin Jingru could only nod and agree dejectedly.

In fact, she was not so anxious at first, but when she found out that Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others were pregnant, she couldn't help but worry that she would have no one to rely on when she got old.

That's why she suddenly asked Li Guoqiang to give her a child.

This way, even if Li Guoqiang doesn't want her anymore in the future, she can still take care of her child for the rest of her life.

Afterwards, the two of them stayed together for a while, then quietly left the grove and returned to their respective courtyards.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Before Li Guoqiang could find an opportunity to make big white flour steamed buns with Qin Huairu, he had to go back to Jinshanbao.

Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others got up early in the morning as usual and prepared a big pot of dumplings for Li Guoqiang so that he could eat his fill before setting off.

As for Zhou Mingyu and his three subordinates, they were not treated so well.

Moreover, if Li Guoqiang had not needed to ride a tricycle to take Shang Xiuzhen and others to Xiangmi Zhai, Zhou Mingyu and his three men might have had to find a way to go to the train station to catch a train on their own!
"Qiangzi, just relax and go back. Da Ge, Jun Ge and I will definitely help you take good care of your siblings."

Xu Yuchang rode a tricycle and took Li Guoqiang, Zhou Mingyu and others to the train station. Then, without even looking at Zhou Mingyu, he patted his chest and spoke to Li Guoqiang.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded after hearing this, and then whispered, "Don't forget what I told you. When the time comes, you can move back to the courtyard first. We can talk about anything when I come back."

After he finished speaking, he saw Xu Yuchang nod to show that he understood, and then he didn't say anything more and turned around and walked into the train station.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingyu immediately frowned and followed Li Guoqiang, as if he wanted to take Li Guoqiang back.

Li Guoqiang didn't care much about this, as if he treated Zhou Mingyu as invisible.

In fact, from the moment Zhou Mingyu chose to admit defeat to him, he no longer took Zhou Mingyu seriously.

Because whether to him or to Qian Weiguo, Zhou Mingyu has no value anymore.

After returning, what awaited Zhou Mingyu was either to take the blame or to be exiled to an idle government office and sit on the bench. There was no third possibility.

If there is, it only proves that Qian Weiguo’s ability is just that.

Soon, a day and a night passed.

On the morning of the third day, Li Guoqiang, Zhou Mingyu and others returned to Chang County Railway Station smoothly. Then, at Zhou Mingyu's urging, they hurried to the county government compound without even having breakfast and waited outside Qian Weiguo's office.

This wait lasted for more than half an hour.

When Qian Weiguo arrived a little late, Zhou Mingyu stood up from the chair in the corridor and trotted to greet him.

"Leader, you are here!"

"Ok!"

Qian Weiguo glanced at Zhou Mingyu's slightly bald head, then glanced at Li Guoqiang who was sitting still, and then said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your hard work on this trip, you can go back first!"

"no!"

Zhou Mingyu was slightly stunned, then hurriedly said: "Leader, I have something very important to report to you!"

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Weiguo frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "Then come in later!"

After saying that, he stepped past Zhou Mingyu and walked towards Li Guoqiang. Then he showed a kind and amiable smile, took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Comrade Li Guoqiang, thank you for your hard work on the road."

"It's not hard work!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly stood up and shook Qian Weiguo's hand, then smiled softly and said, "We are all serving the people, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it."

"what!"

When Qian Weiguo heard this, he immediately laughed and praised: "Not bad, not bad, you are worthy of being the only outstanding educated youth representative in Chang County, your ideological awareness is really high!

Come on, let's go into the office. I just happen to need to discuss something with you."

As he said that, he pulled Li Guoqiang into the office, leaving Zhou Mingyu standing outside with a confused look on his face.

this.
How come this is completely different from what he imagined?
