Zhou Zimo only retracted his gaze when he heard the sound of the door closing. He lowered his head to look at her ident.i.ty card and household registration booklet in his hands. A smile could not help but appear on his handsome face. He raised his head to look at the tightly shut door in front of him. A while after, he left unhurriedly.
The night was getting late. When she returned to her room, Qin Su did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, she looked through the doc.u.ments that she needed for the meeting the next day and made some modifications. After that, she tidied up and returned to her bedroom to lie down.
She was not a person who went to bed early. It was common for her to work until one or two o’clock at night. It was the same in the military district in the past and it was the same now.
She still did not like the work of the prosecutor’s office. If she had a choice, she would actually rather go back to the military district. It did not seem as complicated as the prosecutor’s office. Fortunately, she had been transferred to a.s.sist the Anti-corruption Bureau recently, these things did not seem to be as meaningless as before.
She was quite familiar with the relations.h.i.+p with the Disciplinary Inspection Department. Her uncle was there, so it was very convenient for her to do things. That was why Secretary Huang of the Munic.i.p.al Party Committee had hinted to promote her. It was just that he wanted to with her help try his best to maintain a clean flow in the political arena.
The intention was good, so Qin Su was naturally willing to cooperate. So now, she was also trying hard to adapt to this job, unlike when she had just taken over the job. Now, she also wanted to take advantage of her position to do some good for the people.
Lying in bed, Qin Su was still not sleepy. She flipped through the notebook that she had brought with her. When she saw a few suspicious points on the notebook, she struggled for a long time. In the end, she could not help but take the phone from the side, she called her father, Qin Yi.
The phone rang twice, and the person on the other end picked up.
It was her father, Qin Yi’s voice—
“h.e.l.lo? Who is this?”
Qin Yi seemed to be busy on the other end as well, and his reply was a little casual.
“Father, it’s me, Qin Su.”
When Chief Qin heard his daughter’s voice, he immediately became a little puzzled. “Qin Su? It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep? How did you know that I was still in the office?”
“You don’t have the habit of going to bed early either. The veterans retired and the new recruits joined the army. This matter has finally stabilized. In theory, it’s almost time for training. Of course, you can’t be idle. I guessed that you should still be in the office, so I called you directly,” Qin Su calmly explained.
“It’s rare that you still remember your father. How is it? You haven’t been home for a few days. Two days ago, I heard from an old colleague of the prosecutor’s office that you’re quite busy.”
“The higher-ups are planning to let me cooperate with the anti-corruption side. Recently, the Disciplinary Inspection Department received an anonymous letter. I’m sure you’ve heard about this, father. The Munic.i.p.al Party Committee has decided to set up an investigation team to investigate this matter thoroughly.” Qin Su gave a simple explanation.
“Oh, I’ve heard about this matter. I heard that Secretary Huang of the Munic.i.p.al Party Committee recommended you with all his might.”
“I’m afraid that Uncle Huang is doing this on account of you, father. Father, I’ll send you the names of a few people in our secret way later. Can you tell me about their situation? Those people are your former comrades, so…” Qin Su lowered her voice as she spoke.
Qin Yi, who was on the other end of the line, was also silent for a moment before saying solemnly, “Okay, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you.”
“Okay, thank you, Father!”
Qin Su only heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
“Qin Su, you’re still young. You’ll experience a lot of temptations and pressures in the future. Promise me that you’ll be a person who is worthy of the people, worthy of yourself, and have a clear conscience. Remember all of that?” Qin Yi said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, Qin Su could not help but chuckle and replied, “Don’t worry, Father! I don’t care about those things. I have the same opinion as you. I think that evil can not prevail over good. We don’t live for those vanity things. Just be ourselves.”
“I have instilled such thoughts in you since you were young. As for me, I also hope that you can…”
“I understand, Father. I’m very grateful for your awe-inspiring righteousness, allowing me to live a strong and righteous life. Oh right, I know that you and Mother have been very satisfied with Zhou Zimo. He’s also very good to me, and I quite like him. He proposed to me tonight, and I’ve already agreed…”
Qin Su recalled the scene of Zhou Zimo proposing to her. After thinking about it, she felt quite happy, so she was willing to share this joy with Qin Yi.
As expected, Qin Yi, who was on the other end of the line, was also delighted when he heard that!
“What? Zimo, that child, proposed to you? You agreed?”
“Yes, I agreed. I’ll be going back to register our marriage tomorrow,” Qin Su replied.
Qin Yi, who was on the other end of the line, paused for a moment before he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Good! Good! Daughter, don’t worry. From your father’s point of view as a man, Zhou Zimo can’t be wrong. Look at his speech, his social circle, and his usual behavior. He’s definitely a good husband with few faults. You will definitely not suffer a loss by marrying him.”
“Father, you can’t judge everything too early. It’s not like any good man can be suitable for your daughter. Don’t you also think that you’re a good person? But don’t you and my mother argue every few days?”
Qin Su smiled helplessly.
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment before replying, “I’m different from your mother. We have very different views of the world. There’s a big difference. She’s always unreasonable. She despises me and hasn’t paid attention to me for the past few days. When we go out at night, she’s always walking ahead of me. When I saw her dancing in the square and smiling with those old guys, I was almost angered to death by her! Yesterday, I wanted to talk to her properly, so I went to the mall to buy her a coat. When I brought it back, she said that my taste was bad! Tell me, what does she mean by this? How do I have low taste now?”
When he mentioned this, Qin Yi could not help but feel a burst of anger in his heart.
Qin Su also frowned when she heard this. She thought for a moment and then asked, “What color coat did you buy?”
“Of course, the best pink color. That color makes people look young, doesn’t it?”
As soon as Qin Yi said this, Qin Su could not help but have a headache. She quickly raised her hand and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows, saying helplessly—
“As expected… Father, look at you. You really don’t care about Mother. Mother is already so old, and you bought her a pink coat? Are you my Father? Don’t you know that Mother’s favorite color is beige? That color looks more suitable for Mother. Also, of all things you had to go shop for clothes? Couldn’t you have picked out a pair of earrings for her instead?”
Qin Su was out of her wits.
Hearing this, Qin Yi on the other end of the line was a little gloomy, and he replied, “Really? I thought that women liked pink, and those salespeople also said that pink is the best color, so I bought it…”
Qin Su…
