A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 270 The Opportunity to Become a Director

"Director Li."

Xiao Yu greeted everyone with a smile as soon as she entered the room.

Li Weixing smiled and shook his head: "Xiao Yu, don't call me that. I'm just a deputy director. You should call me Deputy Director Li."

Li Weixing was already forty-nine years old and had worked in the commercial system for many years. It was a sure thing that he would be promoted from deputy director to director. Who knew that Lu Congyue would suddenly appear out of nowhere and be parachuted in as director.

Lu Congyue is only thirty-two years old. With a few years of training, he might become the deputy director or even the director...

Li Weixing felt like he was going to die from nausea, but he had to pretend that nothing was wrong and keep saying that he was just serving the people and that his position didn't matter.

Now, when Xiao Yu comes in, she calls him "Director Li," which is like stabbing him in the heart.

Xiao Yu had been following Li Weixing around ever since she entered the Commerce Bureau, so she knew exactly what he was thinking. With a big smile, she walked over and whispered, "Director Li, Director Lu's family in Beijing just came to see him. Guess what I heard?"

Li Weixing raised his eyelids slightly: "What?"

"His marriage to the woman in his room is a sham!" Xiao Yu said excitedly. "Director Lu's mother said it herself, that their mission was complete and their marriage should have been dissolved long ago."

Li Weixing quickly realized there was great potential in this, and said with a smile, "Didn't they already get their marriage certificate?"

"Isn't it all for the mission? The organization definitely knows they're in a fake marriage, so the marriage certificate is invalid!" Xiao Yu said in a low voice. "If it were valid, would they have skipped the wedding and banquet? It's because it's fake that they can't do those things... Director Li, do you think it's a serious matter of conduct for a man and a woman to be together like this?"

Li Weixing's facial muscles began to twitch uncontrollably as he had to suppress a gloating smile.

When Lu Congyue first took office, he was thinking of using connections or doing something to remove Lu Congyue from office.

As a result, he was warned by his superiors and didn't dare to do anything.

Later, when the truth came out, he realized what Lu Congyue had been busy with at the time, which was indeed something he couldn't interfere with. He felt a lingering fear; if he had insisted on dealing with Lu Congyue back then, he might have been mistaken for an accomplice of those spies.

I heard that a transportation bureau clerk in Beijing is now completely finished because he talked to someone a few extra words on the train and borrowed a car.

Now that everything seems clear, can we finally make a move?

Li Weixing suddenly stood up, paced back and forth in the room a few times, and asked, "This... won't be of much use, will it?"

They've got their marriage certificate, but they claim it's fake. Lu Congyue can argue that it's real, so it's hard to say.

Xiao Yu grinned slyly: "I also heard some news. Director Lu's younger brother was sent to a farm for reform through labor after committing a crime. Director Li, tell me, what kind of serious crime must he have committed to be sent there for reform through labor? And from what Director Lu said, he didn't even know when his brother was released. What does that mean?"

Li Weixing slapped his thigh: "This proves that his brother violated the policy and sneaked out!"

Xiao Yu chuckled, "Tell me, how could Director Lu pass the political vetting? That's his own brother! Not to mention the issue of his conduct..."

Li Weixing listened with great pleasure, laughed twice, and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder heavily.

"Xiaoyu, you're truly my right-hand man. Without you, I can't get anything done! You're doing a great job, keep up the good work, you have a bright future ahead of you!"

The deputy director's office was filled with laughter and chatter, but the atmosphere in Lu Congyue's office was so tense it was suffocating.

After Lu Guoqiang finished venting his anger, Lu Congyue ignored him completely, and the atmosphere became tense.

Guan Jing started sobbing and playing the victim, saying that Lu Sheng had been hospitalized once because of anger and that his health was really bad now. She begged Lu Congyue not to argue with him anymore and to at least go back and check on him.

"Enough!" Lu Congyue stood up and said coldly, "I've heard these words so many times I'm sick of them. Didn't I make myself clear last time? I have nothing to do with your family, and my affairs are none of your business! Can't sending Lu Guoqiang to re-education camp really wake you up?"

He sneered, "Or how about we send him back to labor reform so you can all wake up again?"

Lu Guoqiang's expression changed drastically.

Guan Jing took a breath and quickly said, "Guoqiang has turned over a new leaf and is now working very hard. Don't hurt him anymore. He's your brother, and if anything happens to him, it won't do you any good."

"Then get out of my way," Lu Congyue said coldly. "I don't have a good temper!"

"You..." Guan Jing was speechless with anger. Afraid that Lu Guoqiang wouldn't be able to hold back, she grabbed his sleeve and tugged at it, signaling him not to act impulsively. Then, suppressing her anger, she said, "Cong Yue, just tell me directly, what do you want for me to come home for the New Year?"

"They really don't understand human language..." Lu Congyue frowned.

"Lu Congyue, don't be so arrogant, you..."

"Guoqiang!" Guan Jing called out, "Congyue, Guoqiang and I are here on behalf of your father. You know how proud he is; he can't bow down to his son. But he's heartbroken, and as his wife, I couldn't bear to see him so distressed, so we came here. Guoqiang and I sincerely beg you to come home and see him. Whatever your conditions, just name them, and we will do it!"

Lu Congyue laughed again. He stood up and slowly walked to Guan Jing and Lu Guoqiang. A mocking smile appeared on his lips. He said softly, "Fine, since you're so sincere, I might be able to make an exception. How about this: you go back and divorce your old man, and after he dies, you can be buried with my mother."

Guan Jing and Lu Guoqiang's expressions changed drastically.

Lu Congyue laughed out loud: "If you can do it, I will naturally go back to find my father."

"Lu Congyue!!"

Enraged, Lu Guoqiang clenched his fist and swung it at Lu Congyue.

Lu Congyue had anticipated this, raised his hand to block, and scoffed, "All show and no substance."

Immediately afterwards, a slap landed on Lu Guoqiang's face, making him stagger.

Guan Jing screamed.

Lu Congyue's voice was icy cold: "Who gave you the audacity to violently attack staff in the Commerce Bureau office?! If you don't want me to have the security department arrest you, get out of here right now!"

"Mom!!!" Lu Guoqiang's eyes turned red with anger, and he turned to look for his mother.

Guan Jing was afraid he would get agitated again, so she quickly grabbed his arm tightly and said urgently, "It's okay, it's okay, your brother is just like this, don't worry about it. Mom will take you to the hospital to have your face checked first, we'll talk about other things later."

Fearing that Lu Congyue would actually call the security department, Guan Jingsheng forcibly dragged her son away.

When Xiao Yu came out of Li Weixing's office, she happened to run into him. She wanted to go up and say hello, but she changed her mind after seeing the handprint on Lu Guoqiang's face.

They definitely don't want to be seen at times like this, so it's best to avoid getting too close.

He didn't approach her directly, but Guan Jing noticed him immediately. She paused, smiled, and said, "Comrade Xiao Yu, I have something to ask you."
