Chapter 281 1 Block, 2 Conditions
Qi Tiancheng felt his heart suddenly shrink, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
Although before stepping into the leader's office, he had rehearsed in his mind countless times the various situations he might encounter.
However, when that cold and unquestionable request really reached his ears.
The pressure as heavy as a mountain still rushed towards him mercilessly like a surging tide, overwhelming him and drowning him in an instant.
He swallowed hard, trying to calm his already flustered mind. His lips trembled slightly as he asked timidly, "Leader, then... then how much money do you think it will cost?"
The leader was seen sitting leisurely behind the large desk, calmly stretching out a finger, which was shaking slowly and gently in the air, as if he was deliberately controlling his emotions.
Qi Tiancheng felt relieved when he saw this, and he subconsciously blurted out, "One hundred dollars?"
There was a hint of hopeful expectation unconsciously mixed in those words.
However, the moment the words came out of his mouth, he keenly caught the slight curve of the leader's mouth, and the subtle contempt that flashed by.
This look was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart, making him realize his own naivety and stupidity in an instant.
Then, the leader replied in a slow but firm tone: "Not a hundred yuan, but a full thousand yuan! And not a cent less. This includes not only the expenses required to open up connections and smooth relationships with various relevant departments, but also the potential risks I bear for you, as well as the huge amount of energy and time spent on this, and of course, some personal compensation for me."
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Qi Tiancheng's heart hard, shaking his soul slightly.
Qi Tiancheng couldn't help but gasp. One thousand yuan! For him, this number was definitely not a small number that he could easily afford.
That was almost equivalent to most of the property he had accumulated through countless years of frugality, hard work and nights!
He felt his legs were a little weak, as if a slight breeze could easily blow him down.
However, whenever I think of my daughter, and then of Liu Guangqi, who is in love with her and has a deep affection for her, as well as her future life of having someone to rely on in her old age.
A look of determination gradually emerged in his eyes. He swore in his heart that no matter what, he would not let the children's happiness be ruined by this little money.
"Yeah, that's what should be done."
Qi Tiancheng bit his lips tightly until they turned pale. The pain sobered him up a little. He said resolutely, "Leader, this amount of money is really a lot, but no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely try my best to get it together. However, I would like to ask, after I give you the money in full, how long will it take to complete the relevant procedures for the job transfer?"
The leader's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but that smile seemed to be just a superficial perfunctory one, without much real warmth in it.
He said casually, "It's hard to say. If it goes fast, it may be done in one or two months. If it goes slowly, it may take three or four months! It depends on the progress of each link and the cooperation between all parties. It also depends on when you can pay the money. The sooner the better."
The uncertainty in that tone, like a thick dark cloud, once again shrouded Qi Tiancheng's heart.
Hearing this, a trace of helplessness emerged on Qi Tiancheng's face, and the helplessness seemed to penetrate deep into his bones. He could only nod slightly, indicating that he already understood the complexity and difficulty involved.
Then he responded, "Okay, boss, I understand. In that case, I'll go back and find a way to raise money. I'll leave this matter to you to take care of!"
The leader waved his hand casually, as if to shoo away an insignificant fly, indicating that he could leave, and instructed: "Well, go quickly and prepare the required funds as soon as possible. I will also keep an eye on the development of the matter."
Just as Qi Tiancheng turned around and prepared to leave, the leader seemed to suddenly remember something and added again: "Oh, by the way, there are two more points to note. I hope your daughter can marry that boy as soon as possible. When we do things, we must always follow certain rules and etiquette. Only in this way can we make a legitimate personnel transfer. In this way, it will be beneficial to both you and all of us, and it will also avoid all kinds of troubles and gossip that may arise in the future."
"Another thing is, I looked at Liu Guangqi's information, and his family members are all alive, so his father will need to submit an application. Otherwise, if you go there privately, it will not have a good impact."
Faced with this additional condition suddenly proposed by his leader, Qi Tiancheng was stunned at first, and the whole person seemed to be cast under a spell, standing still.
Immediately afterwards, his mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts coming to his mind, but he still hurriedly agreed, because he knew very well that he had no room for bargaining at this moment.
After that, he walked out of the leader's office slowly, looking dazed and stumbling, as if he had lost his soul. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost all sense of the surroundings.
At this moment, his heart felt as heavy as if a huge stone weighing thousands of pounds was pressing down on it, and the heaviness almost made it difficult for him to breathe.
Because this huge amount of money was really an unbearable burden for him.
However, it's not that there is no way out. As long as we grit our teeth and make up our minds, we should be able to piece it together.
However, he was still worried, his brows were furrowed like a deep "川" character, and he was full of worries. Although he had already handed over the money, he knew that things were unpredictable and things might not go as smoothly and smoothly as he imagined.
After all, there are too many people and links involved, and any slight mistake may lead to total failure.
However, at this moment, the arrow had already been shot and the die had been cast. He had no way to retreat and could only grit his teeth and keep moving forward.
Qi Tiancheng dragged his heavy steps and slowly returned home. The atmosphere in the house seemed a little solemn, as if even the air had become heavy.
After he told Qi Sihui and Liu Guangquan the whole story without reservation, the whole room seemed to be instantly enveloped by a depressing atmosphere. The depressing atmosphere was like a substance, almost suffocating people.
Liu Guangqi's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his guilt overflowed from his words like a surging tide.
His lips trembled slightly, like a fragile leaf in the wind, and his voice trembled with it: "Uncle, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault that I have dragged you into such a difficult situation. Don't worry about this money. Even if I have to sell everything I have and go bankrupt in the future, I will definitely return it to you in full!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head deeply, as if carrying endless self-blame and regret, and he did not dare to look directly into Qi Tiancheng's eyes.
Qi Sihui, who was standing by, had already become tearful and her eye sockets were slightly red. Tears were welling up in her eye sockets, as if she was trying desperately to hold them back from falling.
She tried hard to hold back her tears and said softly, "Dad, thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Let's think of a solution together. Guangqi and I have saved up some money over the past few years, about two or three hundred yuan. How about I give it to you first to help you out?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Qi Tiancheng gently waved his hand, with a loving yet helpless smile on his face. That smile was full of love for his daughter and helplessness about the current situation.
His eyes, which used to be bright and lively, now looked a little dim, like two pearls that had lost their luster. He slowly said, "My child, there's no need for that. We are one family and we have different opinions. Dad will pay for this. You have just started working not long ago. You should keep the money for emergencies."
After saying this, he sighed heavily, and that sigh seemed to carry all his fatigue and worries. He turned around and walked silently into the inner room.
Then he remembered what the leader said at the end, and then turned around and walked out, saying with some embarrassment: "By the way, the leader also made two requirements. One is that you need to marry Sihui first, and the second is that your father needs to write an application and submit it to the relevant department, so that the entire transfer process is complete and compliant."
Liu Guangqi and Qi Sihui were stunned when they heard this, their faces filled with shock and sorrow.
That expression was as if he had heard the bad news that the end of the world was approaching.
How can this be done?
Originally, Liu Haizhong was strongly opposed to their relationship and didn't think they were together at all, and he even went so far as to fight with them.
Now Liu Haizhong is asked to write an application for his son's transfer. This is simply a fantasy and something that is impossible to do.
Liu Guangqi frowned and spoke first with a helpless look on his face: "The marriage is easy to talk about. Although it's a bit rushed, as long as Sihui doesn't mind, we can get married as soon as possible. But asking my father to write an application is harder than climbing to the sky. He is firmly opposed to our relationship. How could he agree to write an application for me to be transferred now? If he agreed to let us be together, why would we have to go to this point and plan to move away?"
As he spoke, he paced back and forth anxiously in the room. His footsteps seemed to be measuring the distance between them and happiness, but he found that the distance was out of reach.
Qi Sihui bit her lip lightly, her eyes full of worry: "Guangqi, you are right. We all know your father's temper. He will never give in easily. What should we do? Is our plan going to fail like this?"
There was a tremor of despair in her voice, like a bird lost in the darkness, unable to find its direction.
Liu Guangqi paced back and forth in the room faster and faster, and said in a distracted manner: "I really can't think of any way to make my father change his mind and write this application. If he knew that this was for you and me to leave, he would definitely be furious, and might even do something more extreme. I know him too well. He has a stubborn character. Once he makes up his mind about something, nothing can change his mind."
Qi Sihui looked at Liu Guangqi's anxious expression and felt even more upset: "Is there no other way? Can we bypass this requirement, or plead with the leader and explain our family's special situation?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was desperately looking for a ray of light in the darkness.
Qi Tiancheng shook his head helplessly: "Since the leader has made this request, he will definitely not change it easily. And he also said that this is for the sake of legitimacy and compliance with the rules. Now we are really in a dilemma."
His face was full of helplessness and exhaustion, like a soldier who had lost all hope on the battlefield.
For a moment, the three of them fell into deep sorrow, and the air in the room seemed to freeze, leaving only their heavy breathing and occasional sighs.
What should we do?
Each condition is like an insurmountable mountain, standing in their way to happiness.
The mountains were so tall, steep and rugged that they were afraid to approach, but they were unwilling to give up.
After Qi Sihui's mother got off work, she noticed the depressing atmosphere in the house and learned the whole story.
She thought for a moment, then said casually, "It's not that there is no solution. Just find someone else to play the role of Liu Guangqi's father. Anyway, their factory is quite far from Liu Haizhong's factory, and the leaders of the factory don't know Liu Guangqi's father. We can just find someone who knows Liu Guangqi to pretend to be his father and submit the application."
"After we leave this place, even if we want to make a fuss about it, it will be too far away to do anything about it."
When several people heard what Qi's mother said, they were stunned at first, and then their eyes gradually brightened.
After careful consideration, they felt that this was indeed a good idea. Qi Tiancheng was the first to nod, and the worry on his face faded a little: "This is a feasible solution, but the candidate must be carefully considered. He must be familiar with Guangqi and be able to stabilize the situation at a critical moment without revealing any flaws."
A spark of hope rekindled in his eyes, although it was faint, it was enough to illuminate the small path ahead for them.
