Chapter 619: Chapter 589 Joyous News_1

Seeing Liu Yufei’s somewhat restrained expression and Chen Cheng’s silly smile behind her, a bold idea flashed through Zhou Ning’s mind.

"Fei Jie, don’t tell me you’re also getting married on October 6th, and, you don’t want to hold a wedding banquet?"

Mr. Zhao’s eyes and mouth widened, and for a moment, he couldn’t quite react. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

After all, Zhou Ning’s remark was shockingly unconventional. Although everyone knew that Liu Yufei and Chen Cheng had mended their relationship, they hadn’t been together long, and no one expected they had already set a wedding date.

All one could see was Chen Cheng, with a smile on his face, vigorously nodding in agreement with Liu Yufei, proudly taking her hand to show everyone the shiny diamond ring on her ring finger.

"I proposed last week and she said yes, but Yufei said she didn’t want a wedding. After all, her mother and grandmother are no longer here, her aunt is in poor health, and that good-for-nothing father still thinks about meddling. My parents are doing research in JIUQUAN and can’t make it back. We immediately asked Mr. He.

To our surprise, he said that you guys didn’t want to hold a wedding and were researching self-driving tour routes. After a chat between the two of us, it sounded good, so we hurried over early in the morning.

We wanted to ask about your route. How about we all go out and have fun together? Don’t worry, we’ll rent a separate car. That way, we’ll have both a bodyguard and a doctor with us, making it safer on the road."

Mr. Zhao stood with his hands on his hips, eyeing them both warily.

But after some serious thought, it seemed their two occupations were indeed what the team lacked. He turned around and gave Zhou Ning a meaningful look.

"You’re asking me? I’m contacting the car rental company now and the hotels, trying to arrange everything together as much as possible. Just imagine, the three pairs of us traveling together, the configuration’s pretty solid."

Speaking of which, Zhu Xingxing and Mr. Zhao started making calls separately. No one could deny that these two were quite suited for the task; one had a good memory, the other was good at communicating. In no time, they had everything well organized.

Mr. Zhao let out a long sigh of relief.

"Zhujing, double-check Mr. Xia’s list to see if any of the purchased items are missing. Compare it with my strategy, then reorder what’s needed. Mrs. Fei, let’s go have a meeting. Just remember, I’m the team leader!"

Liu Yufei and Zhou Ning both laughed and waved their hands dismissively behind them.

"Old Chen’s paying!"

Chen Cheng immediately pulled out his mobile phone and bank card, lifting his chin towards Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao, puffing up with irritation, shoved Chen Cheng’s hand away.

"Scram, scram, scram, I can’t stand that look on your face. Have you forgotten how Mrs. Fei dumped you, and you came crying to me with snot and tears? Now you’re strutting in front of me, where’s your conscience?"

Chen Cheng didn’t care in the slightest. Instead, he said with a laugh:

"Criticize all you want, conscience is nonsense. Nothing’s more important than my wife. Besides, neither of us lacks money. My parents may not give love, but they’re never stingy with money. Yufei’s mother and grandmother left behind properties, and now with the standard urban redevelopment, so don’t be polite with us. Just tell us, how much money do you need?"

Mr. Zhao, still looking annoyed, grabbed Zhu Xingxing’s hand.

"Zhujing, should we think of another route and not mix with them?"

Zhu Xingxing shrugged off his hand, looking unconcerned.

"Stop it. Chen Cheng just wants to show off he’s got a wife. Let him be. After all, their bitterness has turned to joy. You also helped, so shouldn’t you be happy? Stop talking rubbish and finish up the follow-up tasks. Make sure they check the car thoroughly. Do we need to find a few tour guides? We’ll need cars, right?"

Mr. Zhao sighed, resigned to his fate, and shook his head.

"Fine, since I’m the team leader, I’ll go make the booking. You guys make a list and do the shopping. I’ll talk to the car dealership about where to have the supplies shipped. We can travel light. And I have to say, the route designed by Zhou Xiaozhou is really good."

After making the call, Mr. Zhao stepped aside while Zhu Xingxing hurried to Liu Yufei’s side.

"Have you guys taken wedding photos?"

Liu Yufei shook her head.

"I’ve never worn a dress in my life. We didn’t even redecorate our house, just did some simple setups. When we return from the wedding leave, we’ll treat everyone to a meal to celebrate, and that’ll be it. By the way, have you gotten your marriage license?"

Both Xia Momo and Zhu Xingxing shook their heads.

"Then let’s go together tomorrow."

Xia Momo smiled and stopped her.

"Don’t rush, tomorrow’s not an auspicious day. Zhou Ning has already checked. Zhu Xingxing’s aunt works at the marriage registration office; the day after tomorrow she will help us schedule an appointment."

Liu Yufei laughed and glanced at Chen Cheng behind her.

"I knew I had to consult with you guys. Now it’s all set, and we don’t have to worry. You go ahead to work. Just take the morning off the day after tomorrow. We’ll prepare all sorts of supplies."

Chen Cheng came over and gently stroked Liu Yufei’s hair.

"Okay then, I’m off. You guys go discuss things at Director Zhou’s place. The temperature’s going to rise later, and it gets quite hot here, making it easy to get heatstroke."

"Let’s get going, you’re such a chatterbox."

Chen Cheng didn’t waste words and quickly left. Xia Momo clutched her phone, starting to check the list of items they had prepared. Zhu Xingxing and Liu Yufei added their suggestions on the side, and soon the group completed the order. Mr. Zhao on the other side had already finished as well.

"I’ve finished ordering on my side. We’ll depart on September 28th, so we’ll have at least nine days. I’ve also paid the deposits. Stop sitting on the ground, ancestor, we’re going to take wedding photos today!"

Zhu Xingxing slapped her butt and stood up, tossing the car keys to Zhao Xinli.

"That’s well arranged, but now there’s a biggest problem that none of you have considered, right?"

Everyone looked at Zhu Xingxing, not understanding what she meant by "the biggest problem." Mr. Zhao nudged Zhu Xingxing’s head, urging her to spill it.

"Stop beating around the bush. What haven’t we thought about?"

"As for leave, you and I just need to give a heads up to the boss, and Group One can still rely on Sun Gaotie and the others. It won’t be like playing to an empty fort, and Doctor Chen is just one person.

But our bosses, Mrs. Fei and Mr. Xia, one oversees the technical department’s operations, one manages a team of the criminal police brigade, and Mr. Xia is one of the leading figures of Qin Da Research and Development Center. Don’t tell me none of you have taken leave?"

Zhou Ning was taken aback. He really hadn’t thought to ask for leave. After all, almost everyone in the bureau knew he was getting married, and Mr. Hu and Director Xu had asked him about it a long time ago.

He hadn’t planned to depart as early as September 28th. Leaving a few days in advance indeed meant the subsequent schedule wouldn’t be so tight, but that meant he’d actually be away for nine days.

After all, criminals don’t take a break during the National Day holiday. It’s a 365-days-a-year, no-days-off industry, and moreover, this period is prone to an uptick in crime, with large crowds and high mobility conducive to serious incidents.

Zhou Ning looked at Liu Yufei, who shook her head calmly.

"I haven’t asked for leave, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll call now."

As she spoke, she dialed Xu Dayuan’s mobile, even turning on the speakerphone. On the fourth ring, the call connected, and they could hear panting from the other side of the line.

"What’s the matter, is there a case?"

Liu Yufei was taken aback, lifted her phone to check the time, and then greeted him, puzzled.

"No case, boss, catch your breath first and I’ll tell you."

"Don’t, that one sentence of yours is making me breathless. Spit it out, what’s going on? Someone from your team causing trouble? Or is something up with Zhang Fangfang again?"

"No, I wanted to ask you for leave. I’ll take half a day off the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll be on leave from the 28th. Don’t try to reach me during the National Day period, I might not even be able to answer the phone."

"What do you mean? What are you planning to do? You didn’t get influenced to jump ship on your trip to Huining, did you? Tell me the truth, is that what this is about?"

"There is something, but why would I go to Huining?"

Zhou Ning massaged his forehead. These two were not on the same wavelength. Xia Momo smiled and poked Liu Yufei, mouthing the words "getting married," and then Liu Yufei took a deep breath and said.

"Boss, stop fretting. I feel a bit awkward and didn’t know how to tell you. The thing is, I’m going to get my marriage certificate the day after tomorrow, and I’m starting my marriage leave on September 28th. We’re going on a trip."

There was an evident pause from the other side, followed by the sound of a water bottle dropping. It seemed to be a metal thermos, which clattered noisily before it stopped.

"With whom... no, you’re marrying Doctor Chen?"

"Right, I’m marrying Chen Cheng. Also, I’ll let you in on this, there are quite a few of us going on this marriage trip. Director Zhou, Mr. Xia, Mr. Zhao, and Doctor Zhu, three couples plan to go on a honeymoon trip together. This way, we can look out for each other."

"Hold on, Zhou Xiaozhou isn’t having a wedding, I know that. Are Zhao Xinli and the others also not having one? Wasn’t it supposed to be like Zhou Ning’s on October 6th? And you girl, why are you also joining in the fun?"

Liu Yufei passed the phone directly to Zhou Ning, as she was not good at explaining these matters.

Zhou Ning quickly took the phone and coughed before saying.

"Boss, I should have discussed this with you tomorrow to make it more formal. But since Mrs. Fei came to me today and heard that Doctor Chen’s proposal was successful, we’re all happy for her and she wants to have a traveling wedding just like ours.

After all, Mrs. Fei’s mother is no longer here, and her father can’t make it, and Doctor Chen’s parents can’t be made public either. I think this arrangement is good. So we calculated the route and itinerary, and to avoid the peak period, we decided to leave on the 28th. Therefore, we all need to ask you for leave."

Clearly, the person on the other side of the line let out a sigh of relief. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"I’m saying, you guys are ganging up for a wedding, holy moly, three couples at once, there goes my salary this month. Alright, your leave is granted. Come by tomorrow to finish the procedures. Since it’s a honeymoon trip, enjoy yourselves well, don’t worry about not having enough time off; I’ll arrange things at work.

Yufei’s concerns are valid. I’ve made some inquires on the side, and her father’s family hasn’t left Qindao; they even got residence permits and rented a house. It seems they plan to live in the country long-term.

If they find out about their marriage, they might really attend. Alright, you guys organize it well. I’ll have someone watch over things there, and if there’s any movement, we’ll inform you immediately. Tomorrow, when you come, we’ll also fill out the leave form, and you, young man, come see me tomorrow."

Zhou Ning acknowledged with an "Okay," and hung up the phone.

For some reason, he felt a bit anxious. He didn’t know if it was because of Xu Dayuan’s last comment that he felt this way. Handing the phone back to Liu Yufei, Zhou Ning tried to put his unsettled feelings behind him and asked.

"Right, Mrs. Fei, wasn’t the case already submitted? Why did the leader say there’s a problem with Zhang Fangfang again?"
