Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

Chapter 400: Divorce, Return to 49 City

After explaining to Bai Qinglian, Li Zhenmin caught up with Zhou Quanmin and had another conversation with him, mainly about He Daqing's resignation. If it was complicated, he would see if Zhou Quanmin could help deal with it quickly.

After hearing this, Zhou Quanmin agreed immediately without any hesitation, which made Li Zhenmin like him even more.

Generally speaking, if someone asks you for help, even if you have the ability to do so, you will not agree directly. Instead, you will say that you will consider it or point out some difficulties. In this way, you will earn more favors after achieving the desired effect.

But Zhou Quanmin did not shirk his responsibility at all.

In this situation, either Zhou Quanmin is not good at dealing with people and does not know how to maximize the benefits of relationships, or he has figured out Li Zhenmin's psychology and is returning the favor. It is better to be straightforward than to use tricks.

Li Zhenmin felt that the former possibility was very small. After all, Zhou Quanmin became the director of a large factory in his twenties, especially the office director. It was impossible for him not to understand the ways of the world. Moreover, in the previous conversation, Zhou Quanmin did not seem like a "new recruit".

From this we can see that Zhou Quanmin should be the second possibility, or what he wants is not just the shallow favors of reciprocity, but a deeper friendship.

"Thank you very much. Uncle Daqing has to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning and may not be able to come to work on time. Please ask Director Zhou to help me ask for leave."

Li Zhenmin responded with a smile, saying that asking Zhou Quanmin to ask for leave in person was equivalent to extending this favor as much as possible, expressing his satisfaction.

Zhou Quanmin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "No problem, just come to the factory to find me when you finish your work tomorrow, and I will help you with the procedures then."

Then the two sides exchanged a few words and parted ways.

At around 11 o'clock the next morning, Li Zhenmin and two other people arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Bai Qinglian had been waiting here for a long time.

Perhaps it was because yesterday's warning worked. At this moment, Bai Qinglian was standing at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau with her hands in her sleeves. After seeing Li Zhenmin and the other two coming, she became visibly nervous. She didn't know where to put her hands after taking them out of her sleeves.

"Daqing, I..."

Bai Qinglian was uneasy, with regret and pleading on her face. She wanted to show her sincerity again and try to avoid having to go to the last step.

However, Li Zhenmin waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's cold, go in and handle the formalities quickly."

The merciless and brief words directly suppressed Bai Qinglian's words of begging and struggling.

He Daqing sighed heavily, feeling somewhat reluctant, but he also knew that things could not be changed at this point. In addition, Li Zhenmin had analyzed a lot with him before going to bed last night, so even though he couldn't bear to see Bai Qinglian's expression, he knew what he should do.

"You are not feeling well, so go home and rest after you finish the formalities."

He Daqing sighed and entered the Civil Affairs Bureau first.

Bai Qinglian's eyes were moist. She looked at He Daqing's back and then turned to look at Li Zhenmin. Seeing that Li Zhenmin didn't say anything, she followed him in, but the expression on her face became more and more uglier.

Li Zhenmin and He Yuzhu followed in. They had to watch He Daqing and Bai Qinglian go through the formalities to avoid any accidents.

In front of the window.

The clerk looked at He Daqing and Bai Qinglian sitting opposite him, frowned slightly, and symbolically asked the reason for the divorce with the mentality that it is better to persuade them to reconcile than to divorce.

However, neither He Daqing nor Bai Qinglian knew how to explain this reason.

Seeing this, Li Zhenmin had no choice but to step forward and briefly explain the situation.

When the clerk learned that He Daqing was remarried, had a son, and was not living well here, his look immediately changed.

The clerk didn't know He Daqing and Bai Qinglian, but he had heard of Zhang Jianlin, who was a well-known scoundrel.

"Are you sure you want to leave?"

The clerk asked again, his tone no longer persuasive.

Bai Qinglian didn't say anything, she covered her mouth and sobbed. He Daqing sighed heavily, "Let's get divorced. Please hurry up with the formalities."

He really didn't want to sit here and get along with Bai Qinglian. The longer they stayed together, the more anxious he became. It would be better to just get it done quickly and leave. Out of sight, out of mind.

Snapped--

After hearing He Daqing's response, the clerk directly stamped the divorce certificate and then handed the two divorce certificates to He Daqing and Bai Qinglian.

He Daqing got the divorce certificate, took a long breath, stood up and left the Civil Affairs Bureau. Behind him, Bai Qinglian sat on the stool with the divorce certificate in her hand, motionless, like a sculpture. Her whole face seemed to have aged twenty years in an instant. The woman in her forties who looked a little haggard seemed to have been drained of her vitality at this moment, and her hair turned a little gray.

.........

More than ten minutes later.

The three of them arrived at the cotton mill. The guard at the message room did not let Li Zhenmin and He Yuzhu in. Li Zhenmin was too lazy to argue, so he let He Daqing go alone to handle the resignation procedures.

He Daqing nodded, walked into the cotton mill with a complicated expression, and went straight to the office building to find Zhou Quanmin.

Things went smoothly. Zhou Quanmin had already informed the factory in the morning, so when He Daqing arrived, he just had to go through the simple process.

In less than twenty minutes, under the leadership of Zhou Quanmin, He Daqing completed the resignation procedures and received his salary.

It was almost noon at this time.

Zhou Quanmin and He Daqing came to the gate together and greeted Li Zhenmin and He Yuzhu with a smile: "Let's go to Uncle Wang's restaurant for lunch at noon. It's a farewell party for you. How about we talk about the rest slowly?"

Li Zhenmin and He Yuzhu naturally agreed.

On the way to dinner, Zhou Quanmin talked about his resignation. Basically, He Daqing's salary had been paid off, and the resettlement housing allocated by the factory would be taken back later.

The resettlement housing at the cotton mill is different from the courtyard houses allocated at the steel rolling mill. The property rights here belong to the factory, and individuals only have the right to use them. If they want to obtain ownership, they have to pay some money to buy them after five years.

He Daqing had not worked in the cotton mill for enough years, so he was naturally not eligible to buy a house, nor did he have the money to buy one, so the house that was snatched away by Zhang Jianlin would be taken back after He Daqing resigned.

Zhang Jianlin may not be aware of this, but this is not something He Daqing can control.

noon.

Several people had a delicious meal in the restaurant. It was Zhou Quanmin's treat. The dinner was very harmonious and everyone was very respectful to He Daqing. He Daqing's previous gloomy mood slowly dissipated.

In addition, Li Zhenmin also learned from the conversation that Zhou Quanmin would go to Sijiucheng to study in a while, so he readily agreed to have a meal together then.

After dinner, Zhou Quanmin personally accompanied He Daqing home to pack their luggage.

In fact, Li Zhenmin and He Yuzhu never intended to let He Daqing pack his luggage. They would go back to the old city together and buy new things anyway.

However, He Daqing insisted on taking two sets of clothes.

Finally everyone understood that He Daqing's coming back to pack his clothes was secondary; the most important thing was to see Bai Qinglian again.

Bai Qinglian was at home. When she saw He Daqing and others coming back to pack their luggage, she came to her senses a little and helped to pack.

He Daqing left Li Zhenmin and others outside the door, and went into the house with Bai Qinglian.

When he came out, He Daqing only had a small bag with only a coat and a pair of trousers.

Bai Qinglian sent them to the door, her eyes moist, but she didn't throw a tantrum.

Li Zhenmin probably guessed that He Daqing should have given his settled salary to Bai Qinglian in the room just now, which was regarded as severing the last ties of affection.
