Compared to Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing felt as if he was walking into his own backyard with ease. Many of the older acquaintances he had gotten to know were through his father-in-law, Zhou Xiaozheng.
While Zhou Jiao spent almost two hours on her arrival, Zhang Guoqing finished his paperwork in half an hour, with an additional half hour for casual chatting.
That's why after finishing his registration and digging in the mud at home, Zhang Guoqing became increasingly anxious as he kept an eye on the time. Nearing eleven o'clock, he nearly went to the planning committee to fetch her.
Finally, Zhou Jiao arrived, albeit somewhat tardily.
"Wife, it's twelve o'clock already. Why did it take so long when it's just a few steps? Did someone make trouble for you? Maybe you should work somewhere else? I think working with your cousin could be nice..."
Zhou Jiao glanced at him amusedly and handed her work ID from her pocket.
