After meeting Hua Shuzhen, Gan Qiu directly opened both suitcases.
"Teacher Hua, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Regarding my early retirement, please put in a good word for me with Secretary Bao."
Hua Shuzhen frowned slightly, looking troubled.
"The decision about your retirement doesn't rest with Old Bao; the only one who can make the decision is Cheng Liusha, you see..."
"Teacher Hua, please don't say that. I believe that as long as Secretary Kanglu is willing, he can certainly help me."
Gan Qiu didn't want to listen to any nonsense and got up to leave as soon as he finished speaking.
This time, Hua Shuzhen didn't put the gold away as usual.
Instead, she sat on the couch, silently waiting for Bao Kanglu to return.
Before too long, Bao Kanglu walked in the door.
Upon seeing the gold on the coffee table, he instinctively asked.
"Gan Qiu came by?"
Hua Shuzhen replied, "Yes, he wants you to help him retire early."
Sighing, Bao Kanglu looked quite helpless.
