Chapter 141 - The Chain of Crystals

He didn't know why, but it seemed as if he grew up a lot faster than when he was young. This was what Zhao Shensan felt when he woke up in the morning and saw that he tore off a piece of the calendar on the wall, revealing the words "Moon 23"!

He did not know where Zheng Yanhong went last night, but he knew that after driving the car to the entrance and waiting for a long time, Zheng Yanhong rushed out and got into a taxi and left. She did not even give him a call to say goodbye. She had no choice but to drive back home. She kept feeling depressed at the bizarre change in Zhu Changshan's and Zheng Yanhong's relationship, and then she fell asleep.

He slowly got out of bed. Although it was a new year, he didn't feel like celebrating a new year. Although his life had been flourishing recently, why couldn't he muster up any energy?

He brushed his teeth slowly while trying to regain his energy. However, when he spat out a mouthful of toothpaste, he found that he became even more listless. He tried his best to reveal a big smile towards the mirror, and thought to himself: "Zhao Shensan, you are doing well, you are the pride and reliance of everyone who loves you. You must work even harder!"

But once he was low and tested, the incentive lost its effect, for he thought of a man, more of a man he would never be able to get through no matter how hard he fought, and now she had a guardian god he might never be able to match, and when would it be his turn to be her guardian?

Looking at the mirror, he was in a daze. No matter what, he couldn't surpass her thoughts. The snake juice corroded his nerves, causing him to lose all will to fight. At this moment, he was seriously examining his feelings towards her. He finally understood that no matter how many times he tried to guarantee that he would completely and indirectly break away from her, it would all be a self-deceiving trick. Even if it was a temporary retreat, he was certain that as long as he was able to give her all her needs, she would immediately become his one and only treasure.

In the mirror, beside his ashen face, another face gradually materialized. That face was so beautiful, but when paired with his own, it complemented each other so well. Just as he was about to caress her tenderly with his hand, a dark cloud appeared on the side of her beautiful face. It spread to the space between her two faces and gradually turned into another man's face. Zhao Shensan angrily raised his hand, wanting to sweep that face away, but who knew that from the front and back of her face, little by little, a man's portrait appeared. He finally understood that his dream could no longer be realized, and that he could drive away one of those people, but how could he drive away four?

Just as he was about to pull his face away from the mirror, a sudden discovery caused him to be enlivened. He found that among the faces that surrounded the beautiful face, one was a blurry picture of decay, one was a fake, treacherous, yet one was pretending to be smiling, and one was a sinister and emotionless one, and the last one looked peaceful, but did not seem to have any love with the woman's face. As a result, those faces could not be compared to Zhao Shensan's youthful, spirited, true, and emotional face became clearer and clearer.

He impulsively thought: "One must endure hardship, one must become an outstanding person. If one wants to completely obtain Zheng Yanhong, one must become an outstanding person as soon as possible! "However, the price I have to pay for making a name for myself is tolerance. Even if a sharp blade hangs in my heart, I will still rush out. I believe that as long as I have enough strength and determination, I will definitely be able to fulfill my wish!"

He didn't need to warn himself anymore, as this comparison allowed him to understand his own strength. Although he couldn't compare to those few people with the title of husband, power, and influence, or even the affection between siblings since he was young, he had true love that others didn't have, as well as his determination and ability to twist his fingers in a way that others could not compare to, then there was nothing that could not be done!

Zhao Shensan walked downstairs. Seeing the two who were selling the sesame seed cakes in the early morning, kneading them happily while they talked, he smiled and greeted them, "Why are you out so early today?"

The man didn't think that such a dignified person like Zhao Shensan would actually greet him. He felt overwhelmed from the unexpected favor and said: "Hehe, are you going to work? Today is a new year, so there will be a lot of people buying the sesame seed cakes later, so we should start preparing early. Do you want them? How many will I leave for you at noon? "

He had heard his mother sing for him ever since he was young, "Twenty-three will be eating fire, twenty-four houses will be all over the place, twenty-five years to grind tofu …" He understood that today was the day to eat sesame seed cakes, so he bought a few cakes and carried them to work in a heated mood.

Zheng Yanhong arrived not long after Zhao Shensan had arrived. He looked at her carefully, and since he did not see anything abnormal on her face, she quickly entered her office. After pouring some tea, he passed the biscuit to her and said: "Mayor Zheng, today is the first day of the new year.

Zheng Yanhong said in shock as if she had just discovered something, "Oh? Had she gotten to twenty-three so quickly? "This year …" After saying that, she casually took out a sesame seed cake to eat. She then asked in surprise, "Why is it still warm?"

Zhao Shensan smiled faintly and said: "I'm afraid you didn't eat breakfast and came in to put it on the heater. Don't drink tea at the empty stomach for now, I'll make you a cup of milk."

Zheng Yanhong looked at him with a complicated expression on her face as he helped her feed her mother's breast. She silently ate and drank, and suddenly said: "Xiao Zhao, contact the doctor who gave you the medicine last time, and have him prepare another treatment period. Later, give Director Joe a call, and he will go and get it."

Zhao Shensan couldn't recall what kind of doctor or medicine she was talking about, but he suddenly came to his senses, and said with a face full of pleasant surprise: "Oh? "Effective?"

"Mn, Mrs. Li called me early this morning to thank me profusely. Afterwards, she embarrassedly asked me where I bought that medicine, and you didn't tell me how I could answer her? I can only say that I will call the Director Joe and tell him the exact address. " Zheng Yanhong said.

Zhao Shensan looked at her, feeling exasperated but also finding it funny. He wanted to say a few words to her, but he clearly knew that she was his leader. It was not good for the Director Joe to personally attend to this matter, because the ingredients required to concoct the medicine were quite... If the Leader knows, then it's not good. In my opinion, you better push today's event forward by a day, and we can go together. If we buy you, we can even send you back to the Mrs. Li, wouldn't that give us another chance to interact with her? If you give the address to the Director Joe, wouldn't our use end? "

Zheng Yanhong was eating a sesame seed cake sweetly, when she suddenly heard this sentence. She slammed the table and said, "Aiya, my pig head, why didn't I think of it? But I've already told Mrs. Li? "What should we do?"

Looking at her vexed expression, Zhao Shensan laughed secretly, but said respectfully: "It's fine, I'll explain the situation to Director Joe later. You just have to read the report and sign it, then tell the head of the Director Feng that you won't be able to attend today's visit.

Zheng Yanhong naturally understood the reason why Zhao Shensan didn't tell her where to sell the medicine, but she was extremely glad that he had made such a plan for her, and felt even more relieved that he was by her side. She therefore waved her hand for him to make the arrangements, and then, she started to read the report that Zhao Shensan had written out for her.

Last night, she caught a taxi and arrived at Lin Maoren's doorstep, but in the end, she did not go in, and instead sent him a message: "I'm sorry Secretary Lin, my husband is also sick, so I can only go back and take care of him. It's best for you to keep Madam by your side, lest there is discomfort and no one to take care of her." Then she had the driver turn around and go home.

Lin Maoren might have been agitated, but he did not call her or send her a message, causing her to be safe and sound throughout the night, so she did not suffer any harassment. However, in her heart, he felt a burning pain from the chili peppers on her skin, causing his to feel uncomfortable.

Honestly speaking, the feelings she had towards Lin Maoren far surpassed his. Gao Mingliang was a coward, it was fine that she wanted to eat him secretly, but Lin Maoren had always seemed to monopolize him from the beginning, but he was not like that, he had already invested 100% of his feelings into her, but she was not free to do anything, nor was she like Lin Maoren who was unhappy. Her feelings for him were mostly due to the fluctuations of emotions in a moment, and once she left, they would become light.

This made her carefully examine him last night, and to her horror, she came to a conclusion - water poplar flowers!

This conclusion instantly shocked her! This was because she had never before associated this symbol of despicability with her.

She guiltily recalled her own emotional history. From her fake acceptance of Zhao Shensan, to her forced submission of Gao Mingliang, to her indistinguishable relationship with him, every single time she felt an emotion and body, it seemed as if she was extremely willful, and she did not even think about where she would end up.

That man Gao Mingliang, had always been a nightmare. Then what about Zhao Shensan? She naturally knew how important he was to her. Fortunately, he had already become a helper in his career. Since both of them could control their emotions, there was no need to think about it for the time being.

Then, the only one left would be Lin Maoren.

A few days ago, Lin Maoren had kept in constant contact with her, using his persistent attitude and Lin Maoling's help to pester her into agreeing to his birthday celebration. At that time, Lin Maoren had explained to her that he had already divorced his, and his mother had been extremely anxious to see him remarry. At that time, Zheng Yanhong's heart was very perturbed, because when she found out that Lin Maoren was actually a divorced man, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of joy, and thus dazedly agreed to it.

She did not even dare to tell Zhu Changshan that he had already told her that he was getting divorced. She thought that even if he was, then the reason for the divorce would be as Zhu Changshan had said, that the woman was unable to endure his imprisonment, and escaped, fighting for her freedom!

Last night, she was quietly lying in the darkness and for the first time, she seriously considered her feelings. Only now did she realize that she had actually started considering the two's future together with, as if she had been faintly poisoned by Lin Maoren's poison!

Did she love him? No! She quickly denied it. Even if it was love, it was an illusion caused by the natural adoration of a successful man by a woman with a strong sense of career! If she was in love with this man, it would be better to say that she was in love with his position!

She understood that she was even more shameless than before, but she immediately thought to herself that of all the people, male or female, walking among the eunuchs, which one of them didn't have a kind of reverence towards the successful person? Then, Lin Maoren, this Party Secretary, would actually be pursuing her, and would be so sincere and perseverance, even soft as water with one heart. How could he not let her, in the midst of being overwhelmed by favor, mistakenly think that he was in love with her? But if he left his golden chair and went back to being an ordinary, taciturn man of fifty, how much of that love would be left? Thinking back now, it was completely a childish political investment. Her vanity was built on an illusory desire for power from the very beginning, and when the multicolored gown called "Party Secretary" covering his body was taken off, this feeling would have no foothold.

Forget it! In less than two years, she had already experienced so many men. Even if it was an attempt or an experience, it was time to find a place to hide her soul on the surface of the water!

Lin Maoren was a hungry wolf hidden in a sheepskin. If he really caught it, the only ending would be to be trapped in the gold threaded cage. What Zhu Changshan said was right. She ignored his temper due to the weather, and within two to three days, he had his hair tied up.

"Damn it, did I commit the Peach Blossom Tribulation?" No, after the new year, I must go to the temple to pay my respects. "Why is it that you've been worrying about this for the past year?" This was Zheng Yanhong's last thought, and then, it became so big that he had to think of a way out before he reached the mountain. He decided to sleep first.

She woke up very early in the morning. Last night's entanglement had caused her heart to still be uneasy, and to put aside Lin Maoren's feelings just like that was indeed a little difficult for her. After all, she had not Transcended to that extent …

"Ai!" She raised her head from the report and let out a deep sigh for no reason. Who knew that she would see Zhao Shensan had already returned, looking at her with concern.

"Mayor Zheng, I have made arrangements. Have you finished reading the report? Let's leave early. Director Joe even invited us to eat together, I think this is a rare opportunity, so I'll agree on your behalf. You won't be unhappy, right? " Zhao Shensan said.

Zheng Yanhong naturally understood that Qiao Yuanzheng had always been a low-profile person, and never interacted with the low-level leaders in the first place, let alone having dinner together. For him to actually take the initiative to invite her out for a meal today, what a great chance that this was, but she still maintained his indifferent expression and said: "Since you've agreed, it's definitely appropriate, let's go."

Zhao Shensan was startled. What did the Mayor Zheng mean by this? Was he complaining that he shouldn't have acted on her behalf? If she thought that, he had to be careful!

After getting on the carriage, Zhao Shensan's heart was still not at ease, and he said uneasily: "Err … Mayor Zheng, I just called Director Joe and told him that the doctors are very mysterious and do not want anyone who isn't familiar with him to get the medicine, so we still have to go get it and send it over to him, ask him if it's for him or for Mrs. Li. Director Joe is so smart, he immediately told us to send him off, it would be better if there was one less person who knows. Then, you casually said that you would invite us for lunch. If I first consult with you before I agree, I'm afraid that Director Joe would have thoughts, that's why he agreed … If you find it inappropriate, I can try to push him. "

In truth, from the morning, although Zheng Yanhong's face did not have much of an expression, she was always in a absent-minded state, so after Zhao Shensan had spoke for so long, it took her a while before she understood why he acted on her own accord.

She suddenly thought that it was funny, but she didn't want to explain. She just looked at him silently, then closed her eyes and said lazily, "If you agree to eat, then eat it. Your boss was rejected even after eating a meal with such a great 'Head II', you don't want me to follow you around anymore, do you? "

Zhao Shensan was completely confused by her attitude. He turned around and looked at the road ahead blankly, and sighed silently. He thought that maybe with this "Xiangyang", he would be even more useless in Zheng Yanhong's eyes.

Upon arriving at the capital, Zhao Shensan saw that Zheng Yanhong was still the same temper as a young miss, she didn't give any orders, but felt that it didn't matter since he felt anxious. She had to make the arrangements, but was afraid that she wouldn't be happy, so she kept quiet for a long time. It's just that it's almost noon, it's our first time eating with the Director Joe, being empty-handed is never good, but if you were to gift him a gift, he would definitely not accept it, do you want to prepare some exquisite gifts? "

Zheng Yanhong was still in a state of disbelief. "Sure, then go and prepare yourself."

Zhao Shensan was so angry that he almost collapsed from her attitude of throwing away the shopkeeper. He was really afraid that she would still have such an absent-minded look when he ate lunch. If that was the case, he might as well not come into contact with Qiao Yuanzheng at all.

When he got off the car, he asked: "I'm going to get a card. Are you waiting in the car, or are you going to take a look around?"

However, Zheng Yanhong had already gotten out of the carriage, and followed behind him without saying a word. Zhao Shensan was annoyed and amused, but waited for a step, before entering by her side.

Once he entered the market, Zhao Shensan headed towards the treasury department, but after walking a few steps, he quickly turned his head to find that Zheng Yanhong had not caught up with him. Helplessly turning back to look, he saw that Zheng Yanhong, who was standing next to the jewelry counter, was staring at a married couple without moving at all. The man was helping his wife attach a string of beads with deep emotions. The woman said with a blissful expression, "It's so expensive, don't …" The man said proudly, "Nonsense, this is a New Year present I've given you. How can you reject it? You don't have to worry about money, I will make money! "

Zhao Shensan's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Zheng Yanhong's face full of envy, and sighed as he whispered into her ear: "Sigh! "Red, I bought a gift here a long time ago. It's just that I don't dare to give it to you …"

"Oh? What gift? I want it! " Zheng Yanhong's eyes lit up, and the envious look on her face instantly changed to joy as she turned around and stretched out her hand.

Without knowing when, Zhao Shensan felt that in his heart, this woman was no longer his capable older sister, but instead a little sister who needed his care and care. Thus, he had actually so naturally changed his address just now.

He dotingly smiled and took out a small brocade bag from his underwear pocket and handed it to her. She opened it and saw a crystal pendant inlaid with platinum gold on a platinum chain. That graceful peony was so pretty. She happily brought it out and placed it on her neck. Unexpectedly, the sales lady's sharp eyes recognized Zhao Shensan, and she happily shouted out: "Aiya, Sir, so your wife was actually so beautiful, it seems like it wasn't in vain for you to buy this pendant several times.

The husband and wife beside him also praised him. The man then asked, "Miss, is there anything else? You can give it to my wife. " The lady said, "This is limited edition, only this is the only one in the whole world. This man has eyes, he has already bought it for his wife. You should take the one you just picked. There is only one left, don't lose it."

When Zheng Yanhong heard that this pendant was unique, she immediately became happy like a child and put it on, then looked at herself in the mirror.

Zhao Shensan's heart was filled with pride, he then said: "Hong Hong, just wait here, I'll go and get a card, I'll come out later."

When he hurriedly took out the card, Zheng Yanhong and the sales lady had already chatted very familiarly, probably that girl had embellished the details of Zhao Shensan's visit a few times before deciding to buy this limited edition pendant for her. Furthermore, when she saw that there were four zeros behind the price, her gaze towards him became even brighter.

After exiting the shopping mall, Zhao Shensan used his man's rationality to find his place, and followed behind Zheng Yanhong who was blushing like a young girl. He slightly bent his body, and acted like he was the standard secretary.

After getting on the car, Zheng Yanhong sat silently in the back seat. Her heart was actually filled with happiness and joy, and she even had the romantic feeling of a little girl who had fallen in love for the first time. At this moment, Lin Maoren's figure was like a shadow that had nowhere to run to.

Ever since she was young, she had never lacked money. As long as she wanted to buy thousands of pieces of jewelry, she wouldn't have any financial problems with it, but since she was young, Fan Qianjin could buy houses for both of them. She never would have thought that her strong and rich wife would also need him to occasionally use one or two pieces of luxury goods to satisfy the little girl's vanity, to experience the feeling of being doted on.

Tens of thousands of bills were not even worth half a year's salary to him, but his school could earn ten thousand yuan in ten days. Furthermore, he was currently like a fox following beside a tigress, and without her knowledge, he could use her as the banner to receive other benefits than her salary.

She vaguely thought, why did she have to worry about Lin Maoren? He didn't need to worry about the feeling of shyness that he felt when he was surrounded by a few men. It was like he was ashamed of himself. She thought, flesh and spirit can indeed be separated. In terms of spirit, she can be a pure goddess, but physically, she can be a goddess that makes men crazy and she can also make herself happy!

Reality was like this. If a woman could use her unique condition to avoid many detours and obtain the same happiness, then why did she use worldly ideas to imprison herself and look down on herself? Which of those men with the qualifications to have three or four wives is not proud of their ability to have several partners? She had just accepted the happiness of sending herself to her doorstep when her mood rose. Why did she keep using "recuperation" to restrain herself?

Thus, when they were approaching the tavern that Qiao Yuanzheng had promised, Zheng Yanhong had already adjusted her emotions. Furthermore, after the unexpected surprise from Zhao Shensan, she was in a very good mood, and the meeting with Qiao Yuanzheng had paved the golden path for her and Zhao Shensan's future career.
