596: The necessity of privilege

Seeing how tightly packed the surroundings were.

Guo Hao and Shen Luoyan exchanged a glance.

A hint of helplessness appeared in their eyes.

Guo Hao originally didn't want to use such special privileges; he wanted to queue normally. After all, they were newlyweds, and using privileges in such a situation made Guo Hao feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But given the current situation...

If the two of them didn't go inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, this place would probably be completely surrounded!

It seems that sometimes, certain privileges cannot be declined just because you don't want them.

There truly is a necessity!

"Alright."

Guo Hao looked at the Leader in front of him, who was wiping his sweat, and smiled somewhat helplessly.

After speaking, Guo Hao's gaze turned towards the surrounding crowd.

"Everyone, I'm going inside now. Please disperse. Gathering here obstructs traffic and inconveniences others! Moreover, it's unsafe. Thank you all for your support!"

After speaking to the crowd, Guo Hao's gaze shifted to the newlyweds queuing nearby, his expression showing a hint of apology.

"My apologies, everyone, it seems I'll have to cut in line! I wish you all a happy marriage!"

"Hahaha!"

"It's fine! Guo Hao! It's our honor to let you cut in line!"

"Exactly, exactly! And with your rank, the Civil Affairs Bureau staff should have originally come to you. It's already surprising enough that you came here yourself and even queued!"

"Guo Hao is really too polite! This is nothing at all!"

"Exactly, exactly! Guo Hao, we also wish you and your wife a happy marriage!"

The newlyweds queuing around them all smiled and spoke to Guo Hao.

They were not narrow-minded at all; they even felt pride and honor because of this matter.

Even a top figure like Academician Guo was getting his marriage certificate on the same day as them, and even queued behind them.

For them, this was definitely something worth boasting about!

How could they be uncomfortable because Guo Hao said he was cutting in line?

"Thank you all!"

Guo Hao cupped his hands towards the people before him.

"Let's go."

Guo Hao smiled and said to the Civil Affairs Bureau Leader beside him.

The Leader breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Academician Guo wouldn't be willing to go inside; for him, that would have been the end of the world!

"Please!"

The Leader made a welcoming gesture towards Guo Hao.

With that, the few of them walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

Outside, the onlookers saw Guo Hao's back, and everyone excitedly discussed among themselves before leaving.

The newlyweds who were queuing also had happy expressions on their faces.

For them, being able to get their marriage certificate on the same day as Professor Guo was definitely a very lucky thing.

Upon entering the Civil Affairs Bureau, several staff members came forward to greet them.

"There's no need for this, right!"

Guo Hao said with a smile.

"You guys go ahead and get busy!"

The Leader said to the staff members.

"Director Guo, please come with me to my office to handle this! After all, there are many people here."

The Leader smiled and said to Guo Hao.

"Okay."

Just as Guo Hao was following the Leader and preparing to enter the office.

In the Civil Affairs Bureau's administrative hall, one person caught Guo Hao's attention.

"Wang Xi?????"

Guo Hao looked at Wang Xi beside him in surprise. At this moment, Wang Xi was holding a girl's hand.

Shen Luoyan, who was beside him, also looked at the scene before her in surprise.

"Holy crap! Hao Ge!"

Wang Xi was startled, and his expression immediately became somewhat strange.

Guo Hao glanced at Wang Xi and the girl beside him, his expression slightly strange.

"Wait for me here, or outside. I have something to ask you later!"

"Okay..."

Wang Xi's expression was unnatural, but he only hesitated slightly before nodding and agreeing.

After speaking, Guo Hao took Shen Luoyan's hand and followed the Civil Affairs Bureau Leader into the office.

"Academician Guo, your visit to our Civil Affairs Bureau to get your marriage certificate truly brings glory to our Civil Affairs Bureau!"

Having just entered the office, the Leader, his face beaming, said to Guo Hao.

"May I know your name?"

At this moment, Guo Hao looked at the Leader before him and asked.

"I am Wang Lei, the Director of the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau. You can just call me Little Wang."

Director Wang quickly said to Guo Hao.

This important figure before him not only had extremely strong influence in the Academic Circle, but his influence also spanned both the academic and political spheres!

His own administrative rank was also very high!

The extremely high kind. An important figure of his rank could speak authoritatively in most fields!

Let alone him, a mere Director Wang; even those top figures whose ranks were higher than Guo Hao's dared not show any arrogance when speaking to Guo Hao!

"I'll just call you Director Wang!"

Guo Hao smiled. Pretending to be important wasn't his character; he wasn't that kind of person.

"Yes!"

Director Wang quickly said.

"I've troubled you to personally help me handle the marriage registration today!"

Guo Hao looked at Director Wang seriously and said.

"This is what I should do!"

Director Wang quickly said.

He smiled as he looked at Guo Hao.

"Normally, a Leader of your rank should be served by us coming to you. If you wanted to get your certificate, you could just give us a call, and I would personally bring people to visit you!

But unexpectedly, you actually came yourself and even queued outside."

Director Wang's smile was very sincere. This kind of thing happening was a good thing for the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau.

After all, the marriage rate has dropped quite a bit in the past two years. The two-child policy was relaxed early on, but aside from the first two years when the increase in newborns was relatively fast.

In the past two years, the number of newborns and marriages has started to fall again.

Especially the marriage rate, the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau's performance hasn't been great.

With this one time.

The impact of Professor Guo personally queuing at the entrance of the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau will definitely significantly boost the performance of the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau.

At least during this period, the number of marriages will definitely see a noticeable increase.

Director Wang was naturally happy.

"What's the point of coming to the door for this kind of thing? It's not very interesting."

Guo Hao smiled and shook his head.

"Alright, let's just start processing it!"

The smile on Guo Hao's face slightly faded.

"Okay!"

Director Wang's expression also gradually became serious.

Information about Guo Hao's background, household registration, and other details were basically top-secret, and even Director Wang did not have the authority to access them.

In order to help Guo Hao process his marriage registration, Director Wang had to call his direct superior.

After some twists and turns.

Director Wang, holding the newly printed marriage registration form, came before Guo Hao and Shen Luoyan.

"Director Guo, Professor Shen, please fill this out!"

Director Wang smiled and said to the two of them.

After filling out the entire marriage registration form and signing it.

At this moment, Director Wang, who was beside them, had already handed the prepared marriage certificates to Guo Hao and Shen Luoyan.

"Congratulations! Director Guo, Professor Shen! I wish you both a happy marriage! May you be together for a hundred years!"

Director Wang smiled and cupped his hands towards Guo Hao and Shen Luoyan to offer his congratulations.
