Chapter 117 - Striking and Surprise

As for what kind of teachings Li Xiaolu had given her after she was brought home by her mother, she was still sent to class by Chen Shuai when she went to work the next day anyway. In the morning, Zhao Shensan returned to the school committee and received waves after waves of warm congratulations from his colleagues. Even Fang Yongtai had restrained himself a lot, and did not dare to mock and ridicule him anymore. He sat there very quietly for a long time without saying a word, and even took the initiative to pour a cup of water for Zhao Shensan.

Zhao Shensan kept a low profile and explained to everyone that he was only called over for help by the Mayor Zheng last night, and was not transferred to the municipal government for help. But how could they believe that? On the contrary, they were all fawning over him until he had left to find an effective solution, and continuously poured soup into his bowl. It was as if the one they had ignored was not Zhao Shensan, and they had already long since understood that Zhao Shensan would not stay here for long!

Ma Huimin started work rather late. When she heard that Zhao Shensan had returned to work, she handed him over to the office and very solemnly announced that he was to immediately return to help Wang Jinshui with his work. As for his position, it was still temporarily announced as a director, which he would correct later, depending on the situation.

Once the news was announced, everyone believed that Zhao Shensan might really not leave anymore. They also felt that it was a little boring to praise him when he went over stinging like a scorpion just now. But from the looks of it, Director Ma seemed to regret sending Zhao Shensan to the disciplinary monitoring room. Since Zhao Shensan could be considered to have improved even if he went back to his office, everyone could reluctantly understand the flattery from before as comfort.

Zhao Shensan didn't understand Zheng Yanhong's thoughts, he naturally couldn't offend Ma Huimin too much, so he could only agree to return to the office, packed his things and return. But because Wang Jinshui was still the office manager, he couldn't go back to his office. Li Qingzhen had been sitting in the office for the entire time, so he didn't want to squeeze in with her. Hence, he decided to go back to his position in the office and sit in the same room as Li Xiaolu.

When Li Xiaolu saw him enter, she became even more embarrassed. Both sides, on the other hand, helped him carry the items back and forth very diligently, and even helped him tidy up the things. Seeing Li Xiaolu's ice-cold appearance, the malicious intent in Zhao Shensan's heart grew stronger. I'll come with you to your house today and explain everything, right? "

Hearing that, Li Xiaolu took a few steps back as if she had seen a ghost, and then said in a low voice: "Don't mess around, wait for me to think it through first!"

Zhao Shensan laughed coldly as he sat in his own seat. Not long later, under his gaze, Li Xiaolu became more and more timid, until he finally couldn't sit still and ran to Wang Jinshui's office to ask for a leave of absence before leaving in a hurry.

Zhao Shensan walked to the window and watched Chen Shuai's car drive over. Li Xiaolu was so meek that he half carried her on the window.

Finally seeing through Li Xiaolu, his heart ached. He knew that her fate with this woman was over, as for the child, he did not know if he should wait for her to give birth before coming back!

But very quickly, he did not have the time to think about it, because Ma Huimin had given him several tasks related to materials. He could only sit down and silently write, but the both of them kept on looking at him with gazes of admiration, one moment adding water, and the next, closing the window for him. Zhao Shensan smiled at her with gratitude, feeling that this girl was truly too gentle, like no one could compare to his.

When he finished his work at noon, the moment he walked out of his unit, he saw Liu Yuhong standing at the door with a little pup. The moment he saw him, his little girl flew over like a butterfly and threw herself into his embrace, calling him with a crisp voice, "Daddy, Daddy, why aren't you coming home after you've returned from your business trip? Don't you want that anymore? "

Zhao Shensan kissed his daughter with his stubble on his face, and said while choked with sobs: "Daddy also just came back today, how could he bear to not have treasures?"

Liu Yuhong also looked at the father and daughter duo with red eyes, and said embarrassedly: "Why is she looking for you, I can't control her either …"

Zhao Shensan carried his daughter in his arms, and since he was unable to be ruthless to Liu Yuhong, he said: "Ya-ya, have you guys eaten yet? Dad will treat you guys to a meal, okay? "

The child happily cried out, and the three of them went to eat together on a street near the square. Because they liked to eat hotpot, they went to the usual place. Not far away, they didn't take a car and slowly walked.

Zhao Shensan was unwilling to treat Liu Yuhong coldly, so he asked: "Yuhong, do you have any difficulties working right now? I went on a business trip with Mayor Zheng yesterday, and I heard from him that you guys have already recovered your class leader? You want me to make you a member of the Education Bureau? Congratulations. "

Liu Yuhong's face reddened, and said in a low voice: "In fact, no matter what job you open up, it's all fleeting, and you're still relying on teaching to produce results, isn't it? I used to be so stupid... "Sigh!"

Zhao Shensan looked at her in shock, thinking that she cared a lot about his title back then. Otherwise, she wouldn't have quarreled so much with him over losing his hat, to the point of even getting a divorce. When he saw that the corners of her eyes had already begun to show lines due to her emaciation, he felt even more sorry for her. It might be difficult for her to be alone with her child.

"Yuhong, even though we're divorced, we're still classmates after all. Furthermore, Yayi is our child after all, and this will never change. So, no matter if it is your work or life, you can look for me if you have any difficulties. We are modern people, so there is no need to be like the older generation and become enemies if you can't become husband and wife, right? Again... "Ugh …" I heard from the kid that you're on another level now, right? If the other party doesn't like it when you're with your child, you can always return the chick to me. My parents can also bring her. " Zhao Shensan said.

Unexpectedly, his consoling made Liu Yuhong cry. She wiped her tears away from him for a while before saying with a strong tone, "I will definitely not let my child leave me!"

Zhao Shensan helplessly explained: "Look at you, I was also afraid that you would take the child with you to find someone, and wasn't planning on snatching the child away, did you have to be so cautious?"

Liu Yuhong stopped talking and happened to walk in front of a pharmacy. She said: "Yayi, these few days I was a little angry, I will go in and help her buy some indigowoad root medicine, and let her drink later, so that she won't become more angry the more she eats, the more you two can wait for a while."

Zhao Shensan nodded, then carried his daughter to a nearby shop to buy some lollipops for her. When the father and daughter walked out laughing, they saw that Liu Yuhong had also walked out, and went to eat together.

After sitting down, Liu Yuhong suddenly asked: "I just saw your unit's Li Xiaolu's mother at the pharmacy, why would she buy that pill? Right, how is Xiao Lu now? "

When Zhao Shensan heard her mention Li Xiaolu, he could not help but frown and said impatiently: "Who do you care what people buy for? She's reconciled with her husband now. "

Liu Yuhong muttered to herself. "I didn't mean to gossip, I just thought it was strange that her mother was in her fifties and went to buy medicinal pills for abortion."

Zhao Shensan did not hear it clearly, but he did not want to continue with the topic of Li Xiaolu at all. He quickly ordered and coaxed his daughter to eat with him.

Seeing that he was so intimate with his child, Liu Yuhong felt a sour regret in her heart. She wanted to ask him to remarry, but she felt that she couldn't let him down, so she looked at him, hoping that he would take the initiative to ask for her daughter's sake.

But over the past few days, because of the ups and downs, Zhao Shensan had long become a bird of prey, and he held an abnormal suspicion towards the woman's good impression of him. It was not that he didn't see Liu Yuhong's hopeful gaze, but he suspected Liu Yuhong's motives when he mentioned her earlier. He felt that she must have heard from Fang Liming that he followed Mayor Zheng, which was why she turned back to look for him.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Shensan looked at his daughter reluctantly, and even though he had been sending the mother and daughter pair to the bus, he did not say what Liu Yuhong wanted to hear.

In the afternoon, Ma Huimin received a call to ask her to go to the city for a meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Before she left on the second day, she rolled her eyes and did not bring Wang Jinshui along, but instead consciously brought Zhao Shensan to the city.

Zheng Yanhong was already sitting in the conference room, but she was not the only person there. Other than the Mayor Gao, there were also the leaders of several businesses and other leaders of Hope Town's districts.

After everyone sat down, Zheng Yanhong began to speak: "Originally, the Mayor Gao personally presided over this meeting, but he had a very important meeting in the afternoon, so he entrusted me to represent the city government, and the representatives hope that the primary school's Leading Group would invite everyone back, and discuss about the Hope Project together."

Once Ma Huimin heard that this meeting was actually to discuss such a sensitive issue, her heart immediately rose to her throat and listened attentively, like a sparring chicken.

"From the beginning of the summer until now, all kinds of work have been done. Now, only the bidding engineering team is left to start the construction. The last time I went to Fengquan with Director Hui Min and the head of the mine safety bureau to investigate, the local leaders asked me to transfer the funds to them for their own bidding. When I came back to report to Mayor Gao, Mayor Gao placed great importance on it and personally called the local leaders to arrange this work. He tested out the Phoenix Spring as well, but who would have thought that the basic level would start so quickly? In the morning, I went over with the business leaders to take a look, and saw that the framework had actually been pulled up. I have already reported this to the Mayor Gao and decided to carry out this mode uniformly in the city. So today, we invited the leaders of the enterprises over here, is to let you big guys get to know each other, who is the donor and who is the recipient of bribes, when you get back, contact the allocation method yourself, and after that, each county will conduct their own bidding, starting construction work as soon as possible according to the construction standards of the Fengquan County, and strive to let the children use the new classrooms as soon as possible. "

She had already talked to Gao Mingliang about this matter several times in private, saying that such a huge matter must be carried out uniformly in the city. If it was left to the other counties to handle it themselves, there would inevitably be differences in the quality, and the aftermath would not be easy.

However, she didn't know what Gao Mingliang was planning, and didn't give her a very clear attitude at all. He only said that he would talk about it after the results of the Phoenix Spring Festival and asked her to communicate with the Mayor Zheng more.

At that time, she had already felt that something was amiss and she had secretly called Lin Maoren twice, but the Secretary Lin's attitude towards her was even more so not giving her face. She had directly said that this was a government matter and if it was inconvenient for him to interfere, she had been pushed away completely.

Now that this matter had finally become a fact, listening to Zheng Yanhong putting on the airs of a Deputy mayor, Ma Huimin's hatred grew to the extreme, and his complexion turned ashen. When he thought about how he had promised Zhu Changshan that he would help his brother get the project, he felt even more humiliated.

Zhao Shensan sat at the back of the row with the secretaries of the leaders. When he heard this, he was elated, as he suddenly received a message from Li Xiaolu. Now that all of Chen Shuai's family members are taking care of me, let's not go back and forth anymore. "

Zhao Shensan's heart tightened when he saw this. He suddenly stood up and rushed out subconsciously, possibly because his face was too pale, and even Zheng Yanhong who was sitting at the top of the round table had noticed it, but she didn't ask, and just tossed it aside.

After Zhao Shensan rushed into the hallway, he ran all the way to the balcony on the side and leaned on the railing, gasping for breath. Although he had never seen the child in Li Xiaolu's stomach before, because of the high hopes he had held for Li Xiaolu, his parents had already shown it.

His first thought was to call Li Xiaolu and ask sher which hospital she was in, but just as he called her, he was already hung up. After hanging up a few times, he received a message: "Zhao Shensan, I already said that we shouldn't contact each other anymore, why are you still going on and on? If we lose our children, then we won't have anything to do with each other anymore, so don't bother me anymore! "

Zhao Shensan's chest felt stuffy because of these two messages, he felt like he was about to explode. But suddenly, a thought popped into his mind — — Didn't Liu Yuhong say he saw Li Xiaolu's mother buying medicine at the pharmacy at noon yesterday? When he was blaming Liu Yuhong for meddling in other people's business, she had once muttered something. Li Xiaolu's miscarriage was not an accident, but a man-made one?

He anxiously dialed Liu Yuhong's number, and before Liu Yuhong could say anything, she asked anxiously: "Yu Hong, yesterday afternoon, what medicine did you say you saw Li Xiaolu's mother buy? "You thought it was strange?"

"It was Yu Ting who ended the pregnancy. I thought she was that old …" Without waiting for Liu Yuhong to finish speaking, Zhao Shensan hung up the phone.

This was definitely because Li Xiaolu had confessed everything after being brought back by her mother, but her mother was a bit shrewd, and was afraid that if she gave birth to a son that was not Chen Shuai, there would be a day when she would be found out. Seeing that Zhao Shensan being unlucky was not reliable, she could only come up with an "accident" to take the child away, causing the Chen family to think that the child had miscarried accidentally.

Zhao Shensan's deduction was not wrong at all!

Her mother bitterly slapped her in the face, then did thoughts for half the night. Finally, she agreed to let go of this child. When she saw Zhao Shensan yesterday morning, she felt that it was right that she had let him down, so she hurriedly applied for leave and went home.

After her mother took the medicine back yesterday afternoon, she rushed into the hospital where her mother was familiar with the first thing she thought of. As the fetus was already quite big, the doctor thought that it was impossible to get rid of the medicine so he gave her another injection to induce labor. Then, she laid on the bed and asked her mother to call the Chen family to inform them that she had fallen at her mother's house and was probably about to have an abortion, thus she sent a text message to Zhao Shensan.

When Zhao Shensan called her, she was afraid that the Chen family members would see, so she hung up. In order to make him give up, she sent him another cold message.

Zhao Shensan and her family had become the killers of his flesh and blood. He clenched his teeth and muttered to himself: "Li Xiaolu, you must remember that you owe me your life. There will be a day when I will make you pay back!"

Liao Yuanfang stuck his head out and called out, "Xiao Zhao, is there something wrong? Mayor Zheng asked me to come out and ask you. "

Zhao Shensan quickly wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye, then turned and said: "It's nothing, I just felt that the meeting room was too stuffy, we didn't have any use for the Leaders' meeting so we sneaked out to take a breather. Is the meeting over? "

"Yes, it's done."

"Alright, let's go back then."

The two of them returned to the meeting room, and indeed, the meeting had already ended, but the leaders who were still there, the two of them were discussing about the project, while Ma Huimin sat beside Zheng Yanhong, full of respect: "Mayor Zheng, you are truly worthy of being the leader of Qian Yu faction. "From now on, I will learn more from you and try to lighten the burden of your work by bringing up the big pillars early in the morning."

Zheng Yanhong smiled reservedly and said: "It's all about work, no matter how tired we are, it's just for guidance. Truly tired or at the grassroots level, we are still the most tired! "If you really want to do some work, consider carefully how to improve the office environment and the salary implementation for the basic level teachers next year. You can do it as a topic and find me whenever you encounter difficulties."

Ma Huimin was not interested in this matter at all. In the past, when she was the County Governor's County Secretary, the teachers of the Phoenix Spring had visited her and said that the county's arrears to the teachers were too great. They hoped that she could settle it herself, but she gave the approval of the County Education Bureau and did not ask about it after. At this moment, when Ma Huimin heard that Zheng Yanhong was actually letting her do this work again, she thought to herself, this matter was not resolved in the entire nation, what right did she have to gnaw on this meat less hard bone? Wasn't Zheng Yanhong telling her to do this on purpose to mess with him?

Although Ma Huimin was not convinced in her heart, she still nodded her head humbly, saying that she would follow Mayor Zheng's instructions and complete the task.

Zheng Yanhong could see through Ma Huimin's perfunctory emotions, but she did not expect Ma Huimin to actually do such a thing, so she did not continue speaking. Looking up and seeing that Zhao Shensan's face was still as pale as ever, his heart actually hurt, and he instantly made up his mind. He said without any warning: "Dean Ma, there's still one more thing I want to discuss with you, and that is that I lack a secretary who writes materials at my side. Xiao Liao is in charge of errand writing, and he still has things that are lacking with technical skills, so he wants to borrow Xiao Zhao from me to bring Xiao Liao over to take him back once the two youngsters have more or less fused together."

Ma Huimin was shocked inwardly, because yesterday, when Zhao Shensan went back to work, she knew that Zheng Yanhong would never let him go, thus she hurriedly asked him to return to her office. She thought that if Zheng Yanhong brought up this matter through the phone or some private place between the two of them, she would use the excuse that the teaching committee was lacking people who could write materials, and would not let him go no matter what. But who would have thought that after Zheng Yanhong directly told all the leaders of the major corporations in front of all the counties, if she did not agree, she would become a fool who got into an awkward situation with the leaders!

Ma Huimin helplessly rolled her eyes and laughed: "Hehehe, actually, when Mayor Zheng took Xiao Zhao to a meeting, I knew you would say that! Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him return to the office yesterday morning to make the transition process easier for you to borrow him! "

Since Ma Huimin agreed, then the problem was simple. Just like that, Zhao Shensan became a orthopedics level secretary hired by the city.

At this moment, he had yet to walk out of the shadow where Li Xiaolu acted to kill his child. After hearing Ma Huimin call him, he walked over in a daze and stood there without saying a word.

Zheng Yanhong asked in a slightly blaming tone, "Xiao Zhao, you ran out just now in a hurry with a scary face. "If anything happens at home, you can go back and take care of it."

Only then did Zhao Shensan come back to his senses, and immediately forced a smile: "Nothing, I'm just a little dizzy and I need some fresh air."

Ma Huimin laughed and said: "Congratulations Xiao Zhao, Mayor Zheng has taken a liking to you and wants to lend you over to write your materials. You must work properly and not lose face for the school committee."

Zhao Shensan did not expect Zheng Yanhong to ask for him so quickly, and looked at her in surprise. However, she was different from Ma Huimin. Zhao Shensan's expression was clearly different, and she did not bother speaking to him, "That's right, Xiao Zhao, I still feel that Xiao Liao is not familiar with the education industry, come over and help me bring him over. "Today you can go back to the Education Committee and hand over the work. You can start working tomorrow morning."

Zhao Shensan gratefully nodded his head, and said to Ma Huimin: "Does Dean Ma still need me to go back to the unit together with you? "If you don't need me, I'd like to go home for a while. Something has really happened at home."

Ma Huimin waved her hand and said: "Go ahead, I'll go back by myself later."

Zhao Shensan walked out of the meeting room first, feeling extremely uneasy. He didn't even want to take the elevator and rushed up the stairs, one step at a time, from the 15th floor to the 1st floor. He didn't feel tired at all and went out to walk around the lakeside like a wandering soul, sitting on the beach and staring blankly into space.

He thought back to three years after he graduated and entered the Academic Committee's courtyard. He thought about how, after being depressed for three years, he had coincidentally met with Zheng Yanhong's recognition, and walked step by step towards glory. However, after Zheng Yanhong had left, he was kicked away by him.

He was still thinking about the different situations the women around him treated him in the process of him rising and falling. He was also thinking about the words of a saint, "Only the weak and women are hard to raise." The more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt!

"Small people" were something that everyone encountered while working. For example, Fang Yongtai, Sun Tingdong, or even Guo Xiaopeng. Where's the woman? They were the abominable creatures of reality, and in his glory they could be tender and gentle before him, giving him the dignity and authority of a man, but once he lost his power, they would turn their faces faster than they turned books, and kick him away without even blinking their eyes!

"Hahaha!" Hahaha! "Hahahaha …" He suddenly started laughing maniacally at the lake water, cursing Liu Yuhong in his heart, cursing Li Xiaolu, cursing Ma Huimin, cursing Lin Lan, other than Zheng Yanhong, he had also scolded all the women he had known, and swore to make them regret abandoning him after he made his name!

During the process of his scolding, he himself did not realize that there was a woman that belonged to him that he did not scold, nor did he even recall that she was the Tian Shuangshuang that he always neglected.

After he finished cursing, he started to think more about the matter of the child that Li Xiaolu beaten up. He felt that even if Li Xiaolu was born, he wouldn't risk making Li Xiaolu unable to lift her head up to take the child away. After all, the girl had truly loved him before, and even if she let him down, he wouldn't be able to retaliate with her teeth and put her to death.

He sat by the lake for some time, feeling cold all over, before he stood up shakily and got on the bus to go home.

The news of him being seconded to the municipal government had already spread throughout the circle of acquaintances. In the morning, when he was angered by Li Xiaolu's text message to the point that he turned off his phone, and just as he got on the bus, congratulatory messages popped up one after another. All of them scoffed at him and did not answer his call.

After getting off the bus, he casually went to a small restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles. Then, he walked for a long distance until it was nine o'clock before he staggered back to his rented apartment.

Once inside, he felt that Li Xiaolu's aura was everywhere, and once again, he walked out of the house and wandered in the cold wind. But at this moment, Zheng Yanhong called.

He excitedly pressed the answer button and spoke to the lucky star in his life: "Hello, Mayor Zheng?"

Zheng Yanhong was perhaps more convenient as she said cordially: "Three, nothing happened at home right?"

"None …"

"Then are you free to come out? "If it's convenient, you can go to the Cloud Capital Hotel, I'll wait for you here."

"Good elder sister, my good elder sister … I'll be right there! "
