Chapter 112 Inquiring about the Zhou Family

Gu Qingyu's guess was correct. After Zhou Yuejin woke up from the operation, the doctor told him that he needed to stay in bed for at least a year and it was not suitable for him to sit for long periods of time in the future.

Considering this situation, Zhou Yuejin had to ask the organization for early retirement. This matter is still under discussion in the organization, but many people in the bureau already know about it.

Although Zhou Yuejin has not officially retired yet, one can already sense the unrest among the people from the attitudes of those who visit him.

The huge gap between his physical and mental state made Zhou Yuejin unable to adapt for a while, so he brought it up unnaturally when talking to Gu Qingyu.

"Retire? Are you kidding?" Gu Qing asked in surprise as he looked at Zhou Yuejinyu lying on the hospital bed.

"It's true, the organization will announce it in a few days. I was originally due for retirement in two or three years, it's just a little earlier now!

According to Zhou Yuejin's situation, he would definitely be promoted to the next level before retirement, and if he was lucky, he might even be promoted to the city.

Gu Qingyu didn't expect such an accident to happen, so she could imagine Zhou Yuejin's unwillingness and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

On the way back from the hospital, Gu Qingyu thought to himself that Zhou Yuejin served as both secretary and director. Once he retired, there would actually be two vacant positions in the bureau.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that one of her and Wei Zhongrong will be promoted to be the director, and then a secretary will be parachuted in from outside to take the position.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Gu Qingyu. She is far inferior to Wei Zhongrong in terms of both merit and qualifications.

Furthermore, the vacant deputy director position would most likely go to either Qin Gang or Gao Ming. These two had previously lost face in the bureau because of Gu Qingyu, so no matter who took the position, Gu Qingyu would not benefit.

Gu Qingyu sighed in his heart. How could the situation suddenly become like this? It really caught Gu Qingyu off guard!

Sure enough, the next day, Gu Qingyu clearly sensed a surge of undercurrents at work. The most obvious manifestation was Wei Zhongrong's sudden enthusiasm.

Before, this guy always seemed to follow Zhou Yuejin's orders, but today he suddenly started inspecting various departments.

All Gu Qingyu heard in the morning was Wei Zhongrong's loud voice.

"Xiao Cheng, bring me the minutes of last week's meeting!"

"Wang Meimei, have you finished planning the spring farming supplies you were asked to collect?"

Even if he saw water marks on the corridor floor, Wei Zhongrong would yell a few times and ask someone to clean it up.

The more Gu Qingyu listened, the more upset she became. She couldn't just sit there and wait for this to happen. She had to think of a solution.

After thinking about it, Gu Qingyu felt that he had to find a way to deal with this matter from Zhou Yuejin.

Gu Qingyu did it as soon as he thought of it. He did not delay for a moment. During the lunch break, he went straight to his aunt's house and asked her cousin Sun Yuan to inquire about the situation of the Zhou family.

Uncle Sun's family ran a tailor shop in the county before liberation. Later, when the public and private sectors were merged, the whole family went to work in the county textile factory.

As an old local in the county, he was naturally well-informed. He found out everything Gu Qingyu had told him that night.

"Qingyu, I have found out everything you mentioned!" Sun Yuan arrived at Gu Qingyu's house just after dinner.

"Cousin, you found out so quickly?" Gu Qingyu didn't expect Sun Yuan to be so quick. He had just asked him to find out at noon, and he came over in the evening.

"Because I was worried you might need it urgently, I mobilized my grandparents to go out and find out!"

"Besides, my family used to run a tailor shop. I can't say that every household in this county knows about it, but I think it's pretty much the same!"

Sun Yuan said this with great pride. Before the public-private partnership, their tailor shop was the best in Ping'an County. Even people from Xinhu City often came from far away to make clothes for them.

Gu Qingyu was very surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that her uncle Sun's tailor shop was so famous. She had never noticed it before.

Li Dahua, who was standing next to him, nodded affirmatively and said, "That's true. Back then, your uncle had six or seven apprentices in Jiaguang's family!"

"Your cousin's grandparents have come forward. I'm sure they know more about this than the average person."

Gu Qingyu certainly knew that people like the Sun family's grandparents who had lived in Ping'an County their entire lives must know more about the situation than others.

So Gu Qingyu asked Sun Yuan, "Cousin, have you heard anything special?"

"You know what, there's something going on with the Zhou family." Sun Yuan clapped his hands and said to Gu Qingyu with a little excitement.

"Zhou Yuejin married his current wife after he returned from the army. His previous wife died of illness not long after he left for military service, leaving him with only two sons."

Huh?

Gu Qingyu had never heard anyone talk about him in all the days he had been at the company. However, when he thought about the real person he met in the hospital that day, he did look a lot younger than Lao Zhou.

"Some time ago, their family was arguing over who should go to the countryside, the youngest son or the eldest grandson. Now, because of Director Zhou's accident, the quarrel has temporarily stopped!"

Gu Qingyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. As the saying goes, the eldest son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady.

On one side is the youngest son born to him by his current wife, and on the other side is the eldest grandson who is the blood of his wife who died early due to illness. I guess Mr. Zhou must have had a hard time at home recently!

Gu Qingyu thought that if he helped Lao Zhou solve this problem, the other party would not mind postponing his application for early retirement.

After all, Zhou Yuejin was injured in the line of duty, so the organization shouldn't make things too difficult for him.

As long as Gu Qingyu is given another six months, she will be able to successfully expand the scale of the current mushroom greenhouse after the Chinese New Year. Even if she cannot wait until the Autumn Canton Fair, she can find a way to generate profits by selling dried mushrooms.

In this way, she would be qualified to compete with Wei Zhongrong for the position.

Gu Qingyu pondered it for a long time, and decided to ask Sun Yuan to inquire more carefully tomorrow. If he had to do this, he had to succeed.

"Cousin, go find out more about the Zhou family's youngest son and eldest grandson tomorrow, such as their educational background, how they are doing in the school city, their personalities, etc."

"No problem, cousin. I'll give you an answer tomorrow at noon." Sun Yuan naturally agreed after hearing this.

Before Sun Yuan came, his grandparents had carefully instructed him to serve his cousin with all his heart and to keep his mouth shut.

This time, he didn't tell his parents or wife about it.

After Gu Qingyu sent Sun Yuan away, he returned to the room, sat at the desk and began to write and draw.

The situation was changing rather quickly, so Gu Qingyu planned her future plans carefully again, as she didn't have much time left to produce results.
