In the past few days before leaving for Japan, Cao Zhiqiang has been living in the Houhai Courtyard on the Qinghong side and has not returned to the hotel.

This is also normal, after all, Qinghong is his official girlfriend, and the house where Qinghong lives is theoretically Cao Zhiqiang's official residential address, plus Cao Zhiqiang did get together with Qinghong less and more before, so before going to Japan, he naturally wanted to live here, which can be regarded as a compensation for Qinghong.

Of course, Qinghong was very happy about this, after all, they had rarely seen each other before.

If it weren't for the instructions of her parents, heavy homework, and Gu Zhenzhen's company, Qinghong might not be able to stand this situation of not seeing Cao Zhiqiang for a long time, and she would definitely be cranky.

Fortunately, Qinghong is a typical traditional woman after all, and she also knows that Cao Zhiqiang has a lot of positions and a lot of work, so she has never complained, just as she is in the future.

Of course, even if Cao Zhiqiang lived in Qinghong these days, there was actually no discomfort, or in other words, the hotel did not give up.

Let's put it this way, during the daytime work, Cao Zhiqiang does not go to work in the office building of the publishing house unless it is a major event, but goes directly to work in the long-term rental room of the Jianguo Hotel.

Like writing songs and books, he is basically in the hotel room, and as for other things, such as recording songs or dubbing, he will go to a special recording studio or dubbing room, but after he is busy with business, he will return to the hotel and stay alone by himself.

As for the publishing house and the film studio, they all have special personnel in charge, and Cao Zhiqiang does not need to worry about the general situation, in case there is a need for Cao Zhiqiang to take ideas, just contact him by phone.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang is currently using the long-term rental house of Jianguo Hotel as his private office location, and once it is time to get off work at night, he will go back to Qinghong to live, reunite with Qinghong, and fulfill his responsibility as a good boyfriend.

In fact, originally, Qinghong wanted to move to Cao Zhiqiang's long-term rental house and live there alone with Cao Zhiqiang, on the grounds that there are currently two women here on her side, and it is inconvenient for Cao Zhiqiang to come over often.

Cao Zhiqiang thought about it again and again, but still rejected the proposal.

The main thing is that Cao Zhiqiang wants to give himself a space to be alone.

If Qinghong moves to live in the Jianguo Hotel, then Cao Zhiqiang will really have no privacy at all, and how can he manage his time.

However, it was okay if Cao Zhiqiang was not there in the past, but now Cao Zhiqiang often comes back, and Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong still live here, so it is a little inappropriate.

So Cao Zhiqiang later, he arranged for Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong to go to live in the old house of the old courtyard house and be neighbors with his sister's family.

Anyway, over there in the old courtyard, Cao Zhiqiang had already bought the west courtyard, the main house for his sister and brother-in-law's family, and the east wing and west wing of the old mansion could be given to Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong to live in.

The old courtyard is a typical miscellaneous courtyard, and there are more people living there, so it is more suitable for Gu Zhenzhen and Wang Xiaohong to live.

Therefore, in the place where Qinghong lives at this time, there are only Qinghong and Cao Zhiqiang, and they have returned to their original appearance.

However, there are pros and cons to this.

The good thing is that there are no other people, and this is the two-person world of Cao Zhiqiang and Qinghong, which is more private and more comfortable.

The disadvantage is that the house is too big and too few people, it looks a little deserted, and it is also very troublesome to clean.

In the past, Qinghong didn't go to college, and she stayed at home, so she naturally had a lot of time to clean the yard and room, but she is now a college student, and she is a freshman at a prestigious university, and she has a lot of study pressure, so she doesn't have much time and free time to clean up the yard and room.

Not to mention tidying up the room, because the original foundation was too poor, Qinghong was under great pressure after going to college, and she didn't even have the heart to cook.

There is no way, Qinghong can go to college, purely by cheating, not by real skills

I got in.

As a result, after being admitted, I found that the courses in it were very difficult, and most of the content couldn't keep up, so I could only secretly make up the lessons in private, but even so, it was still very difficult.

Therefore, as early as when Cao Zhiqiang was still filming in Jinling, he contacted Xiang Dongfang and asked Xiang Dongfang to help make up for Qinghong.

Xiang Dongfang's ability is doubtful, and he is still his own person, even if he finds that Qinghong's foundation is too poor and he doesn't look like a person who can be admitted to university, he won't say anything.

Anyway, during this period, whether you can go to college or not depends on the results of the college entrance examination, as for the previous results, and what the results will be, no one cares.

Of course, if you go to college, you really stretch your hips too much, and you really can't finish your studies, but even so, it's okay to be a college dropout.

Qinghong's academic performance, how to say it, limited by the original environment, is indeed not good, but it does not mean that Qinghong's learning ability is not good.

In fact, Qinghong is more introverted, in fact, because of his patience, attention and IQ are also good, in fact, his learning ability is still very good.

Especially after knowing Cao Zhiqiang, Qinghong has always had a little inferiority, and always feels that she is a little unworthy, so she is very motivated to study in private, so she wants to study hard, and after graduation, she can help Cao Zhiqiang, and how much she can match him.

Therefore, after going to university, Wu Qinghong's enthusiasm for learning has increased unprecedentedly, much stronger than when she was in her hometown.

In fact, before, Wu Qinghong met with Xiang Dongfang with the help of Cao Zhiqiang, and after recognizing Xiang Dongfang as his study tutor, he almost didn't go back to Houhai's house, but went directly to Cao Lili's house after school every day.

The house where Cao Lili lived was only Cao Lili, Qiao Simei and Xiang Dongfang before, and after Qiao Simei was adopted by Chen Jiabang, there was no change, and the three of them still lived in the family building inside the study.

After Xiang Dongfang became Wu Qinghong's tutor, he originally wanted to go to Wu Qinghong's side at night, but after comprehensive consideration, Wu Qinghong still decided to go to Xiang Dongfang's residence and not let Xiang Dongfang come to her.

The reason for this choice is that in addition to letting Xiang Dongfang run less, showing respect for Xiang Dongfang, and making it more convenient for him to learn from the tutor, he also has the idea of building a good relationship with Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, Cao Zhiqiang's younger sister.

After all, Wu Qinghong now considers herself Cao Zhiqiang's official girlfriend and future wife, so in Cao Zhiqiang's absence, helping to take care of the two sisters-in-law is also what she, the future sister-in-law, should do.

Even if Cao Lili and Qiao Simei are not Cao Zhiqiang's sisters, they are better than sisters, so Wu Qinghong does not dare to slack off in this regard.

In the past, Wu Qinghong didn't know much about this aspect, but after a trip to Shanghai during the summer vacation and some enlightenment from her parents, she immediately opened up and knew how to maintain the relationship between her husband and family.

So usually, after Wu Qinghong gets out of school, she goes directly to Cao Lili's house, tidies up the room a little, and cooks a simple meal, so that she can eat and chat with Cao Lili, Qiao Simei and Xiang Dongfang, and the relationship is getting better and better.

After eating, Wu Qinghong didn't have to leave, she could go directly to Xiang Dongfang's room to study, and after studying, the two of them could sleep in the same room.

In addition, Wu Qinghong often goes to the old courtyard to see Cao Zhiqiang's eldest sister's family and brush up on her sense of existence.

It can be said that in fact, during Cao Zhiqiang's filming in Jinling, Wu Qinghong basically didn't go back to the house in Houhai except for playing with Gu Zhenzhen, and usually lived with Xiang Dongfang, Cao Lili and Qiao Simei.

Only after Cao Zhiqiang came back, Wu Qinghong moved back in.

And Wu Qinghong felt that when Cao Zhiqiang was away, it was more comfortable to live with Cao Lili and Xiang Dongfang.

Although the house where Cao Lili lives is not big, the more this is the case, the less sense of distance there is, and the more down-to-earth she lives.

On the contrary, it is the courtyard house on the other side of Houhai, the area is large, but it is empty, and it is a little panicked to live.

But there is no way, since Cao Zhiqiang is back, it is impossible for Wu Qinghong to leave Cao Zhiqiang alone, and then go with Xiang Dongfang and Cao Lili

live, and Cao Zhiqiang naturally can't go to Xiang Dongfang to live, so he can only let Wu Qinghong go back to the courtyard in Houhai.

Although it is a little uncomfortable to come back to live because he has not lived in the courtyard house in Houhai for a long time, he is full of water, and since Cao Zhiqiang is here, Wu Qinghong is naturally happy.

As for the work of cleaning the yard, Cao Zhiqiang and Wu Qinghong don't need to do it, Cao Zhiqiang found the neighborhood committee in charge here, and helped find a reliable neighbor aunt as a part-time worker, and he can come over to clean it every day during the day.

But what about the aunt, it is only limited to cleaning the front and back yards, and the interior of the main house of the residents is not cleaned.

The main house is usually locked, and the cleaning aunt does not have the key.

The reason is that there are a lot of expensive appliances and furniture in the main house, so be careful to be stolen.

This is not the time to leave no stone unturned, and it is always right to be careful.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang has been living with Wu Qinghong at night, and only during the day, he will take the time to fool around with Hao Shuwen, no, it's about work.

Jin Xiuying and Yu Yuanyuan, Cao Zhiqiang also went to see it, but they all went to sit and leave, and they didn't stay too much, the purpose was mainly to stabilize them, and the general manager of the province was cranky.

Otherwise, it is a good excuse for men to be busy with work, as long as you say that you are busy with work and women feel sorry for you, generally no matter how big the resentment is, it will dissipate.

However, this also made Cao Zhiqiang a little vigilant, and he kept warning himself that he should rein in his heart in the future and never provoke women again.

is only such a woman, he feels a little weak, and his time management skills are not enough, if there are a few more, even if his body is not good, his energy will not be able to keep up.

This is also the reason why when he was in Jinling, he knew that the female doctor who looked like Ding Qiunan was interesting to him, but he pretended not to know, because he really didn't want to incur love debts.

The matter of going to Japan was decided a long time ago, and according to the original schedule, he should have left a long time ago.

It was only because there were suddenly many more things here, and because he wanted to appease many women here, that Cao Zhiqiang repeatedly delayed his trip.

After waiting for all the formalities to be completed, the visas were all down, and the things here were almost arranged, Cao Zhiqiang finally booked a flight and decided to officially leave for Japan the next day.

Due to the particularity of going to Japan this time, Cao Zhiqiang didn't bring anyone, he was alone, and he didn't even have a translator.

This is actually more free, anyway, his current Japanese level is top, better than ordinary translators, and he doesn't need to translate at all.

However, just as Cao Zhiqiang was packing his luggage at the house in Houhai and sitting down with Wu Qinghong to chat over dinner, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When Cao Zhiqiang opened the door, he found that it was two strangers, or uninvited guests.

The people who came were two young men in their twenties and less than thirty, all dressed in inconspicuous blue tunics, all standing straight and with quite serious expressions.

"Who are you looking for?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

"Hello." One of them, a little older, with a slightly dark face, was obviously the leader of the young man and said, "May I ask if you are Comrade Cao Zhiqiang, right?"

"I am." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Who are you?" Looking for ***?"

"Don't get me wrong!" The young man with a slightly dark face smiled and said, "We're not bad people."

Speaking of this, the young man quickly took out a document from his pocket and handed it over: "Here, this is my ID, you can take a look."

Cao Zhiqiang took the document handed over by the other party and looked at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Ministry of Security? You belong to the Ministry of National Security?"

"Yes." The young man smiled and nodded, "You may not know much about this department, I can explain to you briefly, in fact, we are ......."

"Alright, don't explain, I understand." Cao Zhiqiang squinted at the other party, "I know what you guys are doing."

It is true that the Ministry of Security is a department that was just established this year, and others may not know what it does, but Cao Zhiqiang, as a traverser, knows too well what this department does.

"Great." The young man smiled, "Now that you understand, I don't have to pull out another ID."

"Another document?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Do you have any other documents?"

"Yes." The young man with a slightly dark face smiled and said, "That's right, I still have a public security ID."

"Oh, understood." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Dual-certificate law enforcement, transition period?"

The young man with a slightly dark face was slightly surprised, and then said with a smile: "Comrade Cao Zhiqiang, you seem to know our work very well, it's really rare."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Are you looking for ***? Suspect I'm a spy?"

"You're mistaken." The man with a slightly dark face smiled and said, "That's right, our leader wants to meet you, so let's pick you up and meet with the leader."

"Your leaders? Who?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Well, I'm sorry, I don't have any comment for now." The darkened man shook his head, "You'll know when you see it."

Cao Zhiqiang continued to frown: "So, you are here to arrest me?"

"Of course not." The man in the tunic with a slightly dark face smiled again, "I said, we came here this time as an invitation."

"Invited?" Cao Zhiqiang sneered, "It's a big night, and you suddenly do this, you say this is an invitation?"

"No way." The man in the tunic with a slightly dark face said, "I know it's a bit abrupt, but it's safer."

After a moment's pause, the man in the tunic suddenly said with a serious face, "Comrade Cao Zhiqiang, we hope you can come with us immediately. But rest assured, we have absolutely no ill intentions, and if we had, it would not be that way."

Speaking of this, the man in the tunic turned sideways and tugged at the hem of his clothes slightly, revealing a pistol holster containing a May Fourth pistol inside, plus a pair of handcuffs.

After showing Cao Zhiqiang the pistol and handcuffs, the man in the tunic put down the hem of the tunic and continued to smile at Cao Zhiqiang: "Now you believe in our sincerity, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Oh, something has come out early!" You're going to show this thing sooner, won't I understand it sooner?

Okay, I'll go with you, but you wait a minute, I'll tell my girlfriend, okay?"

"No problem." The man in the tunic with a slightly dark face smiled and nodded, "But please hurry, don't delay time, and don't run away, in that case, the consequences will be serious."

Cao Zhiqiang shrugged: "I'm not afraid of shadows, and I haven't done anything bad, what am I running?" Alright, you wait a minute, I'll go say hello, and I'll go with you."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang didn't close the door, and went back directly to Qinghong and said, "Qinghong, someone is looking for me, it's a bit urgent, I have to go out immediately, you stay at home."

"What's the matter?" Wu Qinghong frowned, "Still looking for you so late?" Can't you be tomorrow?"

"I'm in a hurry at work." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Don't worry about it, if it's not serious, I'll go and go back, but if it's too late and you don't come back, you can sleep by yourself first."

"But ......"

"Don't!"

Cao Zhiqiang glared at him: "Men do the right thing, women don't talk much!"

As soon as he heard Cao Zhiqiang say this, and saw his serious expression, Wu Qinghong immediately nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful on the road."

Cao Zhiqiang, who had already turned his head, waved his hand at Wu Qinghong, and then continued to walk outside.

After coming to the gate again, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the two men in tunics who were still standing outside the door and said, "Okay, let's go, by the way, how to go?" Just walking?"

"The car is right outside." The young man with a slightly dark face said, "It's not far away, just come with us."

"No blindfolds and no handcuffs?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

The dark-skinned man smiled, "Of course not, you're not a prisoner, no."

"Then you're not afraid that I'll remember the way?" Cao Zhiqiang asked curiously.

"Don't be afraid." Another man with a slightly white complexion and a menopausal age said, "Even if you remember the way, it's nothing, we're not bad people, we're going to take you to imprison, we're taking you to meet the leader, even if you know about that place, it's nothing."

"Oh, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "In this way, it seems that you are really not bad people."

"Of course not." The menopausal man said, "We used to be serious police officers, but now we are anti-......."

"Xiao Zhang, shut up!" The dark-skinned man immediately reprimanded his companion.

After the other party shut up, the man with a slightly dark complexion turned sideways slightly, and said to Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face: "Please follow me, Comrade Cao, don't let the chief wait for a long time!"
