Chapter 508 Retirement
Zhou Rong spent more than half a month sorting out the affairs of the import and export company, and then he again applied for retirement to the Municipal Party Committee.
The Municipal Party Committee approved her official retirement on March 3, exactly after completing one term. Her position was taken over by Deputy Director Jiang Hongbin.
Jiang Hongbin thought Zhou Rong had to serve two full terms, so he had to endure for another five years. He did not expect Zhou Rong to retire early, which surprised him.
Jiang Hongbin asked Zhou Rong why she retired early.
No matter who asked, Zhou Rong said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go home to recuperate.
Jiang Hongbin looked at Zhou Rong, who looked radiant and didn't look sick at all, but since he didn't want to talk, he didn't ask.
Jiang Hongbin was promoted step by step from the bottom by Zhou Rong. He was very grateful for Zhou Rong's respect for him and promised to take good care of Nini and not let her suffer any grievances in the unit.
Nini is already the deputy director of the Personnel Department. Zhou Rong doesn't think about how much she can achieve in her career. He just hopes that she can work smoothly and be healthy. But it is always good to have someone to take care of her in the unit.
Zhou Rong: "Please take good care of me from now on, Director Jiang."
Jiang Hongbin: "Of course I will treat Zhou Xue as my own child."
With Jiang Hongbin's promise, Zhou Rong felt much more relieved.
Nini didn't ask too many questions about her mother's early retirement, but was very happy instead.
She could see that her mother was not having a good time at work, especially when she went to the municipal government for meetings, she always came back in a bad mood.
Her mother has already given too much to the family. In the days ahead, she should just take a good rest and let her support the family and take care of her mother...
Zhou Gui and Zhou Cai were a little surprised to learn that Zhou Rong had applied for early retirement. They were worried that something had happened to her, so they went to Chang'anli to see her on the weekend and asked her if she had encountered any trouble and needed their help.
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm just too tired and want to rest. Don't worry about me."
Zhou Cai: "Are you really okay? We are sisters, don't worry, if there is any trouble we can solve it together."
Zhou Rong: "Don't think too much, I'm really fine. You have to be very careful with what you say and do in the company. I'm very tired after all these years.
I'm not even 52 yet, but I've already got a lot of white hair. For the rest of my life, I don't want to worry about anything anymore, so I'll just enjoy eating, drinking and having fun at home with my pension."
Zhou Gui looked at her sister's slightly haggard face and said distressedly: "It's good to retire. There are many troubles in the company. If you do well, the credit goes to everyone. If you do not do well, the responsibility is your own. Sometimes I think it is meaningless.
Sister, just stay at home and rest from now on. Come talk to us when you are bored."
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
At the end of January, Shen Qingran returned to Jiangcheng for the winter vacation.
Since Xu Hanqi parted with her last time in Kyoto, he left her the phone number of her dormitory manager, and the two of them would talk on the phone for more than ten minutes every night.
If Shen Qingran had not disagreed, after Xu Hanqi accompanied his father back to Jiangcheng, he would have wanted to return to Kyoto to find her the next day.
Finally, his sweetheart came back. Xu Hanqi went to pick her up at the time when Shen Qingran's train arrived.
Xu Hanqi came to pick someone up without telling Shen Qingran in advance, wanting to give her a surprise.
Shen Bohang hadn't seen his daughter for half a year. He was also worried that Shen Qingran had too much luggage and would be at a loss carrying it, so he came to the train station to pick her up.
Shen Shanqi and Shen Shanrui went to the UK as exchange students for a year and returned to China at the end of December. This time they returned to Jiangcheng with Shen Qingran.
The two brothers couldn't understand why Shen Qingran always had several large bags of luggage when he came home, regardless of summer or winter vacation, but they only had two canvas bags when they came back from England.
As the two of them helped Shen Qingran carry her luggage and got off the train, they saw Shen Bohang looking around in the crowd.
Shen Shanqi: "Dad, here!"
Shen Bohang heard the voice, walked quickly to Shen Qingran, took a canvas bag from her hand, and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"
Shen Shanqi saw that his chest, back and arms were all covered with luggage. His father chose to ignore him and only had eyes for his sister. He said speechlessly: "Dad, I was calling you, why did you go to my sister?
I have so much luggage on me, why don't you help me carry it? Go get my sister's small bag. You are so biased!"
Shen Shanrui, who was also covered with luggage, continued, "Dad has been partial to me for a long time, aren't you used to it?
If you say a few more words, Dad will definitely say that we are adopted children and only my sister is his biological child."
Shen Bohang: "...You two men, why are you so stingy? Your sister is a lesbian and has little strength, shouldn't I help her carry her luggage?
You are still college students, don't waste time, your grandparents have prepared delicious food and are waiting for you at home, let's go back quickly."
When the father and his two sons were about to leave the train station, they found Shen Qingran grinning at a handsome man wearing a tweed coat.
Shen Shanqi: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Shen Qingran: "I saw a friend and would like to introduce him to you."
Shen Qingran and Shen Bohang were talking and laughing, and Xu Hanqi had more or less guessed their identities. He regretted coming to the train station without finding out more about the situation.
Seeing Shen Qingran waving at him, Xu Hanqi quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, my name is Xu Hanqi, nice to meet you."
Shen Qingran: "Dad, this is my friend Xu Hanqi, the man who saved me in the United States as I told you before, Uncle Xu's youngest son.
This is my dad, and my twin brothers Shen Shanqi and Shen Shanrui. "
Shen Qingran once told her family about her experiences in the United States.
When Shen Bohang heard that Xu Hanqi was his daughter's savior, he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Hello, Comrade Xu, thank you for saving my Qingran. I will go to your house in a few days to thank you."
Xu Hanqi: "Uncle Shen, you're welcome. Saving Qingran is what I should do. Qingran has also helped my family a lot. Without her, we wouldn't be able to contact our family smoothly."
Shen Shanrui was grateful to Xu Hanqi for saving Shen Qingran, but he always felt that it was strange for this man to appear at the train station, so he asked tentatively: "What kind of friends are you and my sister?"
Xu Hanqi said bluntly: "Boyfriend and girlfriend, Qingran and I have agreed that we will visit her when she returns home for the holidays. It is a pleasure to meet you all today."
Shen Bohang was immediately alarmed when he heard this. He looked at Xu Hanqi from side to side and then asked Shen Qingran, "When did you two start dating? Why didn't you tell your family?!"
Shen Qingran lowered her head and said shyly, "We just talked for a short while. I was planning to tell you after I got home, but we met here."
Xu Hanqi: "Uncle, we have kept in touch through letters since Qingran returned to China. I also want to see Qingran more often when I return to China this time. Is it convenient for you and Auntie this weekend? I want to visit you."
Shen Bohang said frustratedly: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I will go back and discuss it with Qingran's mother and then give you an answer."
Xu Hanqi: "Okay, I hope to have the honor of visiting Uncle Shen's house."
