Other than Yen Teng-kuei, Xiao Zheng had another enemy on his list: Chang Yishan. He had risen to the top of the list at the speed of a rocket, becoming Xiao Zheng's most important enemy.
Of course, as Lin Huayin often reminded him, Pearl City was a city governed by law. Yan Jing and Hua Xia were places governed by law. He could not allow himself to be overly violent. If they were in Africa or West Asia, Xiao Zheng could use his usual methods to eradicate all his enemies. He could even crush them. But Hua Xia could not, and did not have such a place. Even if he had the guts and ability to execute it, it would be extremely difficult to deal with the aftermath.
Even if Xiao Zheng had the means to deal with Yan Shang, it was because Yan Shang had provided him with the perfect opportunity. Otherwise, why would he resort to violence in public?
Then, what about someone as intelligent as Chang Yishan?
He had been targeting his weakness. Would he give him such an opportunity?
Xiao Zheng shook his head. He did not want to ruin the good mood of celebrating the Spring Festival because of this person. He wished his brothers a happy New Year and hung up the phone. He was about to call Lin Huayin to ask for the time.
Ding dong.
Just when he was about to call Lin Huayin, the doorbell rang. Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up. He mumbled, "The sun really rose from the west. A workaholic coming home early? "
He opened the door and was about to tease Lin Huayin when he realized that the person standing at the door was not the cold and elegant Lin Huayin. Instead, it was a young man wearing a red cap and a red and white uniform. Just when Xiao Zheng was about to speak, the young man took out a pen and paper and pointed at the large box of goods behind him. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xiao Zheng?"
"Yes, it's me." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded. He was slightly curious. "What's wrong? I don't think I bought anything. "
"Ms. Lin bought it. But you're the contact person. "The young man smiled and handed over the pen and paper. "Just sign it."
Xiao Zheng nodded and signed. Then, with the help of the young man, he carried the goods into the living room and sent them out.
After closing the door, Xiao Zheng rubbed his chin and looked at the tightly sealed box. He muttered, "No wonder I ran out early in the morning to work overtime. It turns out that I was prepared. I knew it. How could you not bring a gift when you came all the way to America? "
After saying that, he picked up the scissors and cut the rope, then took out the gifts one by one.
The first thing that came into view was a brand-new suit. It was soft to the touch but very stylish. One look and you could tell that it wasn't cheap.
"Eh, there are greeting cards?" Xiao Zheng took out a card from the collar of his suit. It was written in English. Fortunately, Xiao Zheng was familiar with English. Otherwise, he wouldn't have understood what was written on it.
The card was written by an old man named Rambo. It was just a simple congratulatory message, but Xiao Zheng tilted his head and rubbed his chin. "Lan Bo? The most famous tailor in Italy? Damn, this old guy's handmade suit is worth at least a million yuan. Old Lin really put in a lot of money this time! "
The second gift was a long dress so beautiful that it could fly. It was light blue with fine workmanship. It was like a princess's dress. It was elegant and cute. It was obviously prepared for Lin Xiaozhu. The production came from Paris. It was the top European goods at first glance.
Click.
Xiao Zheng put down the blue dress, lit a cigarette and said to himself, "She decided to go to America a long time ago, right? She even dared to play psychological warfare with me. Hum, next time I will suddenly break in when she is taking a bath. I will scare you to death! "
The third gift was exquisitely wrapped, but it was not as big as the first and second. Xiao Zheng thought that it might be a watch worth a million yuan or a proposal ring —
Of course, it was most likely to be a necklace made of pure gold. It weighed fifty kilograms!
The moment he held it in his hand, Xiao Zheng was completely disappointed. It felt light, not like the texture of a gold necklace. After opening the package, it turned out to be a delicate small box. The bottom of the box was shining with red light.
"Damn. Don't tell me it's a phone? "Ah Zheng opened the box and was dumbfounded.
Inside the box, there were two small sticks that were shaped like cigarettes. Looking at the state, it seemed that they were still charging.
"This is —" Xiao Zheng's eyes widened. After carefully pondering for a while, he finally determined the full name of the item: electronic cigarette!
"Is this the rhythm of forcing me to quit smoking?" Xiao Zheng tilted his head and looked at the packaging of the electronic cigarette. In his heart, he scolded Old Lin for having no moral integrity. He hadn't persuaded her to drink less coffee and not to stay up late. She actually took the first step to attack and asked him to quit smoking cigarettes that he had been smoking for more than ten years. Too much.
After drinking a large cup of cold water, Xiao Zheng, who was quite depressed, was just about to light a cigarette to relieve his worries. His eyes involuntarily fell on the electronic cigarette —
"Try it?" Xiao Zheng struggled in his heart. He unwillingly put down the real cigarette, took out an electronic cigarette, and fiercely took a big puff. If it was a real cigarette, this puff would at least smoke one-third. However, the reaction of the electronic cigarette was obviously not as fast as the real cigarette. After one big puff, his mouth was filled with smoke, but it did not satisfy Xiao Zheng at all.
"Phew —"
After exhaling a thick cloud of smoke, Xiao Zheng felt that the electronic cigarette was lighter than the real cigarette. There was a hint of coolness in it. However, it was far less satisfying than the real cigarette. But it was better than nothing. If he did not have the real cigarette, he could just manage with this thing. At least it would not drive him crazy.
After taking a dozen puffs, Xiao Zheng suppressed his desire to smoke and continued to drink a large cup of water. Lying on the sofa, he said weakly, "It's the New Year, can't you let me smoke to my heart's content?"
"Click."
The door was opened. Lin Huayin, who was dressed in work attire, came home with a briefcase. The living room was filled with gift boxes, and Xiao Zheng was listlessly lying on the sofa, like a corpse. She took the initiative to ask, "Does the dress fit?"
"It fits," Xiao Zheng answered weakly. He took a deep puff of the electronic cigarette. "It's just that this thing doesn't contain nicotine. It's not satisfying enough. "
"How does it feel to smoke a real cigarette?" Lin Huayin put down the briefcase, changed into slippers, and walked to Xiao Zheng's side.
"Satisfied," Xiao Zheng said emotionally.
"What happens after you smoke?" Lin Huayin continued to ask.
"After that, you settle down," Xiao Zheng said.
"Don't you feel uncomfortable if you smoke too much?" Lin Huayin asked.
"A little," Xiao Zheng answered honestly.
"You'd rather smoke for the rest of your life than spend a week feeling uncomfortable to quit smoking?" Lin Huayin asked calmly.
Xiao Zheng jumped up from the sofa and took a deep puff of the fake cigarette. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sure! But you have to reward me! "
"Reward?" Lin Huayin looked up slightly. "How?"
"It's up to you," Xiao Zheng touched his chin and said with a smirk. "For example, take a bath together or something —"
"Okay," Lin Huayin stood up slowly and said meticulously. "Tonight."
