Chapter 230 Shen Zhiqiang
Lu Xue’s fiancé is Shen Zhiqiang, who is currently the captain of the Qingshan Town Public Security Bureau.
He is also a direct descendant of the Shen family in Beijing and the nephew of Shen Yiming.
He is 30 years old this year, seven years older than Lu Xue. He was engaged when he was in the army. Once he was seriously injured in a mission and was hospitalized, rumors spread that he was about to become disabled. When the girl's family found out, they immediately asked for a breakup.
It was indeed a life-and-death experience, but after treatment, apart from being unable to return to the army for training, a period of recuperation for my body will not affect anything else.
Shen Zhiqiang did not explain. The marriage was arranged due to the family background of both parties. There was not much affection between them. He did not like arranged marriages, but he felt that since he enjoyed the convenience of his family, he must take on the responsibility.
Unexpectedly, a sudden turn of events gave him the opportunity to make a new choice.
Therefore, after his injuries recovered, when he learned that his family was considering who to send to guard Qingshan Town, he made a prompt decision and volunteered.
Don't underestimate a small town. Ever since the appearance of the Japanese base, the future of this place has been of paramount importance.
You know, anyone who is high enough to know about the treasure is definitely not an ordinary spy, so even if you catch one, you will be able to catch the whole nest. Such obvious achievements are right in front of us and everyone can see it clearly.
If the Shen family wants to continue to consolidate their family power, they will inevitably have to make achievements. But it is not that easy in peacetime, so they need to find another way.
Only then did they prepare to arrange for family members to take over.
One point that cannot be ignored is that even though everyone knows that Qingshan Town has great potential in the future, no one can be sure how long they will have to wait, so the Shen family only wants to find a stable past from the branch family.
Shen Zhiqiang was not among their options.
According to his merits, he will be promoted to at least deputy director level and enjoy department-level treatment.
If he was transferred to Qingshan, he would only be able to start as a team leader, which is at the section level, as his uncle is above him.
He can only take over the position of director after Shen Yiming is promoted, which is really a waste of talent.
His parents thought that the other party wanted to stay away from this troubled place because of the broken engagement, and seeing that he insisted, they agreed without much persuasion.
Who would have thought that the other party was running for freedom.
Shen Zhiqiang was honest with Shen Qianzhong about his thoughts in private, and the latter did not question them but was very supportive.
In his opinion, if the Shen family were to seek a marriage alliance with a family of equal power, it would instead arouse suspicion, so it would be safer to keep a low profile.
There is one thing Shen Qianzhong didn't say, which is that he secretly hopes Zhiqiang can get in touch with Gu Mingyue.
He had long wanted to bring the girl to the Shen family, and he had originally valued this nephew the most, but he was already engaged at the time, so the plan fell through.
To be honest, Shen Qianzhong was extremely satisfied when he heard the news of the broken engagement.
His nephew was a man of both civil and military talents. He had previously inquired about the way the girl's family behaved and he was very dissatisfied with them.
He really predicted it right. When the incident happened, the girl's family ran away faster than anyone else. Don't think he didn't hear that the other party has already found another partner. Humph, he was worried that Zhiqiang still had feelings for him, but now that he is sure that there is no feeling for him, there is no need for him to save face for him anymore.
Wanting to climb up by stepping on the Shen family is really wishful thinking...
But Shen Qianzhong did not directly state his intentions. He knew that neither Zhiqiang nor Gu Mingyue liked to be arranged by others.
Before leaving, he only reminded the other party to remember to take care of Gujia Village, and did not forget to tell them about their original relationship.
But he forgot that with Shen Yiming here, there is really no need for Shen Zhiqiang to step in for some things.
This resulted in the two of them never having any contact with each other, but instead they got together with Lu Xue by chance.
Speaking of their connection, it originated from a heroic rescue of a beauty.
While shopping one day, Shen Zhiqiang met Lu Xue who was being harassed by a street urchin and offered to help her.
The textile factory originally arranged dormitories, but Gu Mingyue found it a bit inconvenient after going there a few times.
Lu Xue was also used to living alone. Even though the factory had specially arranged a double room for her, it was still very uncomfortable to live with someone she didn't know, especially when the roommate was a bit unhygienic.
Anyway, I had enough money, so with the help of Master Lu, I quickly found a yard. It was not big, only about 60 square meters, which was enough for one person to live in.
The owner of the house wanted to move to a bigger house as his family had more people, so he sold the small house. The yard had everything it needed and was ready for immediate move-in. Gu Mingyue and Lu Xue saw the house together and both thought it was good, so they agreed to the deal immediately.
Coincidentally, Shen Zhiqiang also lives in this alley.
Because of the feeling of being rescued, the two of them gradually went from being acquaintances, to chatting for a few minutes when they met, and then to the stage of ambiguity.
Lu Xue's personality is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She didn't feel lonely because she had Xu Xiwen by her side. But when she arrived in the town, even if Gu Mingyue came over occasionally, she would only stay with her for a while before going back to the village.
People in the factory kept their distance from her, partly because of her academic qualifications. In a factory where most people graduated from high school, college graduates were indeed people that others looked up to.
More importantly, many people thought that she, an airborne accountant, was a relative of the factory director. Even if they were friendly with her, they would flatter her or try to take advantage of her, which resulted in her having no one to speak to.
During an unintentional chat with Shen Zhiqiang, I discovered that we had many similar views, and that the other person was upright and not fussy about details. He had the tolerance of a mature man and the sincerity of an unmarried man.
As soon as she felt attracted to the other person during their interactions, Lu Xue intentionally told the other person about her life story.
She wanted to observe the other party's attitude, and as long as the other party hesitated a little, she would stop the loss immediately.
Unexpectedly, in addition to feeling distressed, Shen Zhiqiang also lamented why he hadn't met her earlier.
The straightforward concern completely opened Lu Xue's heart, and the two quickly established a relationship. Not long after, the man sincerely proposed to her.
When the other party proposed to establish their own little home, it was the word "home" that broke through all of Lu Xue's defenses and made her agree without a second thought.
After telling the truth about Shen Zhiqiang's family background and how they met, Lu Xue asked cautiously, "Mingyue, I have said everything I need to say. Please don't be angry with me."
"As long as you feel happy, I won't argue with you. However, as an apology, you have to treat me to a meal, and I want to see who this man you praised so highly is."
"Hey, he's already waiting for us at the state-owned hotel. How about we go over there now?"
Hearing Lu Xue's words, Gu Mingyue gave her a sidelong glance and said, "Oh, this is my prediction. You can't have calculated so much. It seems that your family member thought of it."
"I just mentioned it briefly. I didn't say much. I just said that my best friend would be angry because I was so sudden. Brother Shen said he would leave it to him to explain and apologize."
Gu Mingyue snorted, "Don't think I'll let you off just because you say something nice. Let me ask you, if your guy and I were at loggerheads, which side would you be on?"
