Chen Xing frowned slightly. Zhao Qing was divorced. This man in front of him must be an admirer of Zhao Qing. He didn't know if these people were attracted to Zhao Qing because of her beauty, the power of the Zhao family, or both. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. Chen Xing didn't bother to pay attention to it. He turned to Zhao Qing and said, "Miss Zhao, let's meet again next time. I'm leaving now."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he saw a taxi coming. He stopped it, got in the car and left.
Chen Xing left without hesitation. Zhao Qing stood there with a pale face. The man who used to love her so much had become so rude to her. Zhao Qing still felt a strong sense of loss in her heart. Maybe she didn't love Chen Xing anymore, but a woman's possessiveness made her feel uncomfortable. Although she and Chen Xing couldn't go back to how they used to be, she didn't want to see this situation happen.
Xiao Qing, who is this man? Why haven't I seen him before? But at least he knows his place. As the man watched Chen Xing leave, a hint of smugness flashed across his eyes. He thought that Chen Xing must have heard of his name as well, which was why Chen Xing chose to avoid him.
Wang Zhangzhi, I think you are the one who doesn't know your place. Don't think that you are somebody. Let me tell you, in front of some people, you are nothing. Zhao Qing looked at the man coldly. She finally had a chance to be alone with Chen Xing, but it was ruined by him. Zhao Qing was angry now.
Tsk, Xiao Qing, how can you say that? The man said with dissatisfaction. Their Wang Family was also a wealthy family in Sea City. Their family's wealth was in the billions, and they were also famous in Sea City. Although they could not sit on the seat of the richest family in Sea City, they could still be ranked in the top three. As the only heir to the family's wealth, he was definitely considered a top figure in Sea City. Who did not know of his reputation as the Wang Family's young master?
What's wrong with me saying that? He was merely speaking the truth. Zhao Qing sneered. Seeing that the man was not convinced, Zhao Qing mocked, "Do you think that you're so great just because you're rich? In front of him, you're not even fit to carry his shoes. Do you know who he is?" He is the Secretary of the Wangshan Municipal Party Committee. Who do you think you are in front of him?
The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? The man's face froze and he looked at Zhao Qing in disbelief. He was more shocked than doubtful of Zhao Qing's words. After all, it was Zhao Qing who said it. The man knew he had no right to doubt it.
Xiao … Xiao Qing, I think you're joking with me. The man let out a hollow laugh. Although he was seventy to eighty percent convinced, he still questioned.
Do you think I need to joke with you? Zhao Qing looked at him in disdain.
I've never seen such a young secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The man muttered.
Zhao Qing glanced at the man and was too lazy to answer him. The man in front of her was her father's fervent wish to matchmake her with him. Of course, the Wang family was also happy to facilitate this marriage with the Zhao family. However, Zhao Qing was not interested at all. After she divorced Sun Xiang, she no longer lived in Jiang City, the provincial capital. Now, she spent most of her time in Hai City. She had long heard of the reputation of this young master of the Wang family. Although he was not married yet, he had impregnated many women. In the end, when they fell out, he would take some money and ask the women to have an abortion. This made Zhao Qing despise him very much. It was normal for rich men to be a bit playful. However, people like Wang Zhangzhi who left seeds everywhere and could not even bear the most basic responsibility of a man, Zhao Qing despised him from the bottom of her heart. You can play with women, but don't impregnate others. They were all adults. Didn't he have the basic knowledge of contraception? It was just that he didn't want to wear that condom for a moment of pleasure.
She turned around and walked in the direction of the restaurant. Zhao Qing drove here in the evening. At this time, she walked back to get the car and planned to leave. She came here for Chen Xing. Now that Chen Xing had left, she was not in the mood to go to the restaurant to attend the classmate gathering. To put it bluntly, the former classmate was now at a different level, and their vision and vision had long been different. When listening to other people talking about daily necessities, Zhao Qing found that she had long been unable to integrate into the group. There were not many common topics among her classmates.
"What's the big deal about the secretary of the Wangshan Municipal Party Committee? Can he manage Hai City? What's the big deal?" Seeing Zhao Qing turn around and leave, Wang Zhangzhi said unhappily. Although he said that, he still quickly got in the car and chased after her.
"Xiao Qing, where are you going? I'll take you there." Wang Zhangzhi followed Zhao Qing with a smile on his face.
"Don't bother Master Wang. I have my own car." Zhao Qing didn't give Wang Zhangzhi a good look. She was not interested in him. Zhao Qing also hoped that she could make him retreat as soon as possible, in case this b * stard kept thinking about her.
Zhao Qing sped up and left, as if she didn't want to talk to Wang Zhangzhi anymore. Wang Zhangzhi was stunned in the car. After a long time, he angrily hit the steering wheel and cursed in a low voice, "Zhao Qing, you b * tch. If you didn't have a good mother, I wouldn't even want a second-hand woman like you. Do you think you are a good woman? There are many women around me who are more beautiful than you."
Zhao Qing didn't know that Wang Zhangzhi was cursing her behind her back. After returning to the restaurant parking lot, she took the car and drove straight home. Seeing her parents sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, Zhao Qing exclaimed and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, it's rare to see you sitting together watching TV. It's really rare."
They had to relax during the Spring Festival. Zhao Guoli smiled and looked at his daughter. "Xiao Qing, didn't you go to the class gathering? Just now, Zhangzhi came. I asked him where you were going. Why? Didn't he see you?"
"So it was you who told him. I was wondering how he would know." Zhao Qing curled her lips and said again, "I saw him, but I hate him when I see him. Dad, don't try to matchmake us in the future. You are just blindly matchmaking."
"What's wrong with him? Isn't he good? He is about the same age as you and hasn't married yet. Plus, the Wang Family is a wealthy family and is a good match for you. Moreover, that young man likes you and doesn't mind that you are divorced. Isn't this the best? He is practically a tailor-made husband for you." Zhao Guoli smiled.
Dad, it's true that he's never married, but I don't know how many women he has harmed. Last time, I heard that a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant committed suicide in front of his villa. This matter has spread like wildfire. His reputation has long been stinking. Are you trying to push me into the fire pit? Zhao Qing said angrily and walked to the sofa on the other side to sit down.
Rumors might not necessarily be taken seriously. You don't have to care about what people say. It's normal for big families like theirs to be gossiped about behind their backs. Some things will change as they spread. It's malicious slander. You can just treat it as a joke. Zhao Guoli said.
"There is no smoke without fire. There are many wealthy young masters in Haicheng. Why is his reputation not so bad?" Zhao Qing rolled her eyes. "Anyway, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, I have interacted with him twice. I can't stand people like him."
"Xiao Qing, you are really …" Zhao Guoli looked at his daughter and shook his head with a bitter smile. He also knew that Wang Zhangzhi's reputation was not good, but he didn't think that he would dare to treat Zhao Qing like he treated other women. After all, the daughter of the Zhang Family wasn't someone who could be toyed with.
"Dad, although you have business cooperation with the Wang Family, you can't use me as a commodity, right?" Zhao Qing glanced at her father.
"Xiao Qing, what nonsense are you talking about? I just think that Wang Zhangzhi is not bad and is interested in you, so I matchmade you two. If you are not willing, how can I force you?" Zhao Guoli said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Speaking of the Wang Family, Guo Li, I have to remind you that cooperation with them is one thing, but you have to be careful." Zhao Yiping, who had been silent, suddenly said.
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing. All businessmen are cunning. I have been in the business world for decades. I won't be cheated by others." Zhao Guoli said and added, "I just thought that if Xiao Qing and Wang Zhangzhi could be together, it would be a good match. That's why I matchmade them.
In the future, don't get involved in Xiao Qing's personal matters. Let her find her own man this time. " Zhao Yiping said.
"Okay, okay, then I won't matchmake them. I'll let Xiao Qing find her own man. Xiao Qing, you have to work harder. I hope you can bring a son-in-law back as soon as possible. But our Zhao Family is not an ordinary family now. I have to tell you that if the man you find is too ordinary, I won't agree. At least they should be of equal social status." Zhao Guoli smiled. In their family, it was the woman who called the shots. His wife, Zhao Yiping, had always overshadowed him. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was living in Zhao Yiping's shadow. However, Zhao Guoli didn't mind what others said. His achievements in the business world were indeed due to Zhao Yiping's help. Without his wife, Zhao Yiping, he might have gone bankrupt long ago.
You're talking about a well-matched family background? I was harmed by your thoughts in the past. Zhao Qing's face darkened.
"Okay, then I won't ask for anything. You can find whoever you want as long as you like. I won't introduce you to anyone else, okay?" Zhao Guoli shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, Dad, I know you're doing this for my own good. But when you matchmake me in the future, please understand the other party first. Otherwise, you won't be able to find a good partner for me and push me into the fire pit." Seeing that her father was so open-minded, Zhao Qing couldn't help but smile. In fact, if she really wanted to find an ordinary man now, not only would her parents not agree, she would also not be able to stand it. The Zhao Family was no longer the Zhao Family of the past, and she was no longer the same Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing's face bloomed with a smile. That expression was almost the same as Zhao Yiping, who was sitting next to her at the moment. Turning to look at her mother, Zhao Qing pretended to be casual and said, "Mom, I met Chen Xing last night."
"Chen Xing?" Zhao Yiping's expression changed slightly. Her gaze fell on her daughter. "I saw that you went to the class reunion tonight because of Chen Xing, right? Otherwise, I haven't seen you interact with those college classmates before."
"No … no, I just thought that I haven't seen some classmates for a long time, so I went to meet them." Zhao Qing was startled. The one who knew her best was her mother.
She didn't expect that Chen Xing would come back for the New Year. He had deep feelings for his hometown. Zhao Yiping chuckled. The expression on her face made it impossible to tell what she was really thinking.
Her parents were both in Hai City. It was normal for them to come back for the New Year. Zhao Qing smiled.
"Xiao Qing, if you still have any feelings for Chen Xing, you have to cut them off. You're not allowed to contact him privately in the future." Zhao Yiping's expression suddenly became stern.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I just mentioned him casually. You're making a mountain out of a molehill." Zhao Qing said unhappily. In the end, she blamed her parents for her marriage with Sun Xiang. Her mother had just said that she wouldn't interfere with her personal affairs in the future. It was no wonder that she felt uncomfortable when her mother suddenly said this.
"I'm just reminding you. I'm afraid that you have other thoughts about him now." Zhao Yiping's expression was solemn.
She didn't have any thoughts. She just felt a little indignant. Zhao Qing's expression was self-deprecating. "If he didn't have any future prospects, I would feel at ease. However, he's doing better than anyone else now. Isn't this making everyone laugh at me for being blind back then? I'm just holding back my anger and I'm indignant." When Zhao Qing finished speaking, her expression was a little ferocious, which seemed out of place with her delicate face.
"You don't have to think like this. I was the one who asked you to split him. If you want to say that I was blind, I should be the one. You're thinking too much." Zhao Yiping frowned. He felt that his daughter's mentality was not normal. She seemed to be a little obsessed with Chen Xing. Zhao Yiping was also a little worried. She looked at her husband. Seeing that her husband was also looking at her, Zhao Yiping couldn't help but give her husband a look, signaling him to speak.
"Xiao Qing, are you feeling a little depressed because of your divorce with Sun Xiang? How about you go abroad to relax? I'll arrange for someone from the company to go with you." Zhao Guoli said with a smile.
"No, how can I be depressed? I'm in a very good mood. After divorcing with Sun Xiang, I feel like I've been relieved. I don't deny that I have some feelings for him after being married for so many years. However, since his father's accident, he has become like a psychopath. He's paranoid all day long. If I continue to live with him, I'll go crazy. It's good that he's divorced. I'm very happy. "Zhao Qing laughed." After divorcing him, these days are the most relaxing and happy days I've had. "
Zhao Yiping looked at her daughter and frowned slightly. At this moment, she couldn't tell whether her daughter was telling the truth or being sarcastic. She strongly supported her daughter's divorce with Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang's father, Sun Zhihe, was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, which made her eager to cut off relations with the Sun family as soon as possible, lest she was implicated by the Sun family and affected her career. She didn't know whether her daughter resented her or not. After all, she was the one who insisted that her daughter marry into the Sun family. Now, she was also the one who wanted her to divorce. Zhao Yiping didn't know whether her daughter complained about her or not. She had been busy with work before and rarely had the time to sit down and talk with her daughter. Looking at her daughter's expression, Zhao Yiping felt a little suffocated.
"That Chen Xing already has a family, and he's living a happy life. Don't think too much about him. His wife is from the Zhang family, so you can't think too much about him." Zhao Yiping glanced at her daughter and emphasized that she didn't want her daughter to have anything to do with Chen Xing. Recently, people from the capital had come to Hai City to investigate. In the entire Hai City, she was probably the only one who knew about this matter. Zhao Yiping knew that this was related to the struggle between the rich and powerful in the capital. Even her backer, Zhou Zhiming, kept this matter a secret. He instructed her to deal with it appropriately when the other party took the initiative to ask for assistance, and not to get too involved.
Zhao Yiping understood Zhou Zhiming's instructions. She knew that there was such a group of people secretly investigating in the city, but they hadn't come to her yet, so she pretended to know nothing and did what she had to do. However, from the information Zhou Zhiming provided, Zhao Yiping knew that they might be targeting the Zhang family. Now that they had come to Hai City, the only possibility was that they were targeting Chen Xing. The struggle between the rich and powerful families would be extremely dangerous. Zhao Yiping didn't want her daughter to have anything to do with Chen Xing again.
"Xiao Qing, your mother is right. There are many excellent men pursuing you now. You don't have to worry about not having a choice. Even if you don't like Wang Zhangzhi, there are others who are better than Wang Zhangzhi. Don't be anxious. This time, choose carefully one by one." Zhao Guoli said with a smile.
"I think those people are not pursuing me, but they are pursuing the power of our family. Otherwise, I don't believe that a divorced woman like me can still be so attractive." Zhao Qing's face was full of sarcasm. She knew that many people were targeting her mother's power.
"Don't say that. So what if you're divorced? You're not ugly. How can there be no men who like you?" Zhao Guoli said with a smile. "In my opinion, you're like a girl in her twenties, and you're more charming than them."
"Dad, you're good at making women happy. Is this how you got my mother in the past?" Zhao Qing said with a smile.
"When your mother and I were dating, men who were flowery and flirtatious were not popular. They would be regarded as hooligans. When we were dating, we didn't even dare to hold hands. We were not as open as you are now." Zhao Guoli looked at his wife with a smile.
Hearing her father's words, Zhao Qing was silent for a moment. When she and Chen Xing were dating in university, they stayed in the university for the first year. In the second year, they saw many people renting houses outside the university, so they followed suit and secretly rented a small room outside the university. They often went out to live outside, and they had already lived together in university. Her first time was not given to Sun Xiang, but to Chen Xing.
While Zhao Qing and her family were chatting, in the Jiangxia Hotel, two investigators from the Commission for Discipline Inspection returned to the hotel after dinner. They had a half-day rest today, but they couldn't go out to relax in places like bars. The internal discipline was very strict. Even though they were resting, they couldn't go out to play like ordinary people, especially since this was a secret investigation in Hai City. They couldn't make any mistakes. To be exact, they were still working on a case, so they didn't dare to wander around. The so-called rest was just lying in the hotel and sleeping.
Suddenly, the phone rang. One of the investigators had an incoming call. When he picked up the phone and saw the number, his expression changed immediately. He stood up and answered the call with a stern expression.
The person on the other end of the phone was talking about something, but the man kept nodding respectfully. After a while, the man hung up the phone, and his expression relaxed. He looked at the other investigator and said happily, "Old Jiang, we're almost free. Boss said we can go back for the Lunar New Year."
"Oh, we can go back during the Lantern Festival?" The other man jumped up from the bed, and his eyes lit up. He was almost bored to death in Hai City. It wasn't that there was nothing to play in Hai City, but they were working on a case and couldn't go to those places of entertainment.
Yes, we can definitely go back during the Lantern Festival. Boss gave us two more days off to compensate us for not resting during the Lunar New Year. The man smiled.
"Wow, that's good? It's rare for Boss to be so humane. " The other man said excitedly. Then, he was stunned. "What about our investigation now?
We don't have to worry about that. Boss asked them to organize all the information, and someone will come over to hand it over to us. Once we're done, we can go on a holiday. "
"Yes, that's good too."
As the two men spoke, they looked at each other, and a look of understanding flashed in their eyes. They were not qualified to continue participating in what was going to happen next. The real battle was probably about to begin. Small fries like them could be considered to have succeeded and retired.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year in Wangshan City, Qian Xinlai welcomed two distinguished guests. In the office on the top floor, Qian Xinlai closed the office door and made a phone call to order that no one was allowed to disturb him. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief, walked to the sofa, and personally made tea for the two of them.
"Mr. Qian, there's no need to make tea. We'll take a seat and leave." Among the people who came, one of them spoke, while the other looked around the entire office, seemingly always maintaining a vigilant expression.
"Well, you two are busy people, so I dare not waste any more of your time." Qian Xinlai said with a faint smile. "Chen Xing's secretary and driver, I think I have something here that will interest you."
As Qian Xinlai spoke, he got up and walked to the desk to get something.
Qian Xinlai's was a small notebook. After taking it out, he handed it to the other party.
The man glanced at it without any expression on his face. He asked indifferently, "That's all?
For the time being, but if you're not in a hurry, I believe that as time passes, there will be more records in this notebook, and you'll be more interested. " Qian Xinlai said with a smile.
The man who spoke stared at Qian Xinlai, then looked at the notebook in his hand again. Finally, he handed the notebook back to Qian Xinlai and stood up. "Then we'll come again next time."
"When will the next time be?" Qian Xinlai couldn't help asking.
"I'll contact you when I come." The man said indifferently.
