The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1355 Zheng Juan Goes to the Countryside?

After leaving the artillery station,
Zheng Juan said with gratitude, "Thank you so much for today, Brother Liu!"

Seeing Zheng Juan thank him, the professional mage, who had been casting spells smoothly, suddenly became shy, rubbing his head and not knowing what to say for a long time.
Zhang Cheng glanced at Liu Haizhu, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

If it weren't for me, that hothead Liu Haizhu would probably still be stuck inside!
"Zhang Cheng, thank you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a big smile, Zheng Juan revealed a sweet smile.

"You're welcome, we're friends!"

Upon hearing Zheng Juan's words, Zhang Cheng laughed.
Just after Zheng Juan left, Zhang Cheng looked at Liu Haizhu beside him and said, "Still looking? That's mine!"

"You? You're utterly trash! Why would anyone want you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with disdain, Liu Haizhu immediately began to "cast a spell."

"Can't you just talk normally? Why do you have to insult me?"

Looking at Liu Haizhu, Zhang Cheng wanted to tear his mouth apart.
"What did I say? Huh, what did I say? You're a smiling tiger running the black market, who knows what dirty things you've been doing behind the scenes? And people would even be with you, holy crap!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Liu Haizhu was about to unleash a torrent of abuse when he saw two medals appear before him.
"Look at this! Can you read it? Individual second-class merit, collective first-class merit!"

Placing the medal in front of Liu Haizhu, Zhang Cheng declared with an air of dominance, "This is my honor!"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Liu Haizhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yours? I don't believe it at all! Wait, I'm going to sue you right now!"

Seeing Liu Haizhu turn to leave, Zhang Cheng was stunned and stood there, wondering if this guy was brainless.
However, watching Liu Haizhu's departing figure, Zhang Cheng squinted and said, "Tu Ziqiang has his eye on Zheng Juan! No, we need to speed things up, or we'll be in trouble!"

As Zhang Cheng walked into the distance, he hummed a tune and began to sing a Huangmei Opera.

The next morning, while Zhou Bingkun was brushing his teeth, he saw Zhang Cheng leave the house.

With wide eyes, Zhou Bingkun quickly stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Cheng, where have you been?"

"I recently went to help out at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, what's up!"

With a broad smile, Zhang Cheng began to inquire.

"It's nothing, I was just asking. Your sudden disappearance scared my mom. Luckily, I asked your master!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhou Bingkun quickly began to explain.

Hearing that there were still people who cared about him, Zhang Cheng patted Zhou Bingkun on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I will definitely find you a good wife in the future and make you happy for the rest of your life!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Zhou Bingkun asked doubtfully, "Why do I need you to find my wife?"

"Forehead!"

Looking silently at Zhou Bingkun, Zhang Cheng suddenly didn't know how to answer!
At the lumber mill, Liu Youjin was stunned to learn that Zhang Cheng had actually given up the opportunity to go to the Municipal Bureau.
"Are you crazy? The Municipal Bureau! Once you go there, you'll have cadre status! And there will be opportunities for promotion in the future!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with disappointment and frustration, Liu Youjin saw that Zhang Cheng was getting angry.

Upon hearing Liu Youjin's words, Zhang Cheng was bewildered, because was Liu's understanding of promotion the same as his own?

Zhang Cheng: Let's get to work!
Continuing to learn car repair, Zhang Cheng quickly mastered the skills.
After all, although he can drive, he doesn't have much skill in car repair.

Zhang Cheng quite enjoyed this kind of life under the tutelage of his mentor, Liu Youjin.

In each world he enters, he's either busy causing trouble or busy messing with people.

Now, he finally has time to stop.
After get off work, everyone pushed their bicycles home, chatting and laughing.

Chatting about all sorts of gossip, Zhang Cheng really enjoyed this kind of setting; after all, no one can resist being a gossipmonger.
Just then, Zhou Bingkun spoke up: "Zhang Cheng, do you know Chunyan?" "Qiao Chunyan! Doesn't she like you? What's wrong!"

Looking at Zhou Bingkun with curiosity, Zhang Cheng asked,
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant, she went to work at the bathhouse!"

Addressing Zhang Cheng, Zhou Bingkun began to explain.

Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun's words, Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao fell silent.

It would indeed be a bit disrespectful for a young woman like Qiao Chunyan to go there.
But these days, factory jobs are hard to find!
At first, Qiao Chunyan's mother thought that since both her daughters had been sent to the countryside, and her family was considered "active" in this effort, they would surely be able to get Qiao Chunyan a good job. But who would have thought that she would end up working at a bathhouse?
Moreover, Qiao Chunyan's mother went to the neighborhood office several times to argue about this matter.
Why didn't you just quietly talk to someone and get rid of her? Now everyone knows, so even if Qiao Chunyan doesn't want to go, she has to go. Otherwise, what will happen to the neighborhood committee's reputation?

"Bingkun, don't look down on Chunyan, she actually likes you!"

Looking at Zhou Bingkun, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt an urge to bring the two together, for some reason.
Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zhou Bingkun asked suspiciously, "Zhang Cheng, are you crazy? Chunyan and I grew up together wearing open-crotch pants!"

"What's the big deal? Right? I'm sure Auntie likes Chunyan too!"

Looking at Zhou Bingkun's expression, Zhang Cheng began to mock him.

Upon thinking of Qiao Chunyan, Zhou Bingkun shook his head hurriedly, a look of fear on his face.

Looking at Zhou Bingkun's expression, Zhang Cheng laughed, because Qiao Chunyan was really not suitable for Zhou Bingkun; this girl was too calculating!

Although Qiao Chunyan is sincere in her dealings with others, she will also scheme without reservation when she sees others doing well!

Taiping Hutong, amidst a jumble of buildings...
Following the scent, Zhang Cheng slowly approached a large door.

Before he could even go inside, a voice came from inside: "Aunt Zheng, you have to persuade your Juan. What time is it? She has to go to the countryside! Only one person can stay at home!"

"Oh dear, Officer Liu, you know my family situation. If Juan'er goes down there, what will Guangming and I do?"

When she spoke to Officer Liu, Zheng's mother looked aggrieved.

Because Zheng Juan and Guangming were not registered when she found them, they are now having difficulty registering their household registration. Therefore, Zheng Juan is naturally not eligible for job assignments.

The family of three could make a living by setting up a stall with supplies allocated by the neighborhood committee and making matchboxes on the side.
After all, the local government can't just watch people starve to death; otherwise, it would be a real problem!

"Excuse me, is this Zheng Juan's home? I'm here to deliver a letter of introduction!"

With a broad smile, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and spoke to Officer Liu.
Looking at Zhang Cheng behind him, Officer Liu asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

"Zhang Cheng! This is a letter of introduction from the flour mill! It's for Zheng Juan to start working here!"

Zhang Cheng smiled as he spoke to Secretary Liu.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Officer Liu picked up the letter of introduction and noticed that there was no name written on it. He immediately understood what was going on and then said meaningfully, "You're Zhang Cheng from Guangzi?"

"Yes, it's me! Thank you for your help, Officer Liu!"

Looking at Officer Liu, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Officer Liu glanced at Zheng's mother and said, "Aunt Zheng, your daughter is really lucky!"

With that, Officer Liu left.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zheng's mother asked in surprise, "Young man, what's this?"

"Auntie, I happen to have a job. After hearing about your family situation last time, I feel that your family needs it even more!"

Handing over the letter of introduction, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I'll come tomorrow morning to take Comrade Zheng Juan to her new job!"

Watching Zhang Cheng leave so casually, Zheng's mother stood there stunned, her body trembling as she looked at the letter of introduction in her hand.
