Chapter 240 Zheng Le's Work Problem (Second Update)

Bing Le gasped in surprise, staring incredulously at Zhang Guodong's sudden appearance, then overjoyed. She rushed over and hugged him tightly. Since there were other people around, Zhang Guodong kissed her forehead a few times, patted her back, and said softly, "Wife, I'm back!"

Held tightly in a hug, Zhang Guodong poked his head out and said to the four elders, "Dad, Mom, Dad!"

Then his eyes fell on the two little ones, his gaze softening with tenderness. At that moment, the two little ones stopped crying. They curiously examined these "guys" they had never seen before since birth.

Zheng Le suppressed her grievances and released Zhang Guodong, but held his hand tightly.

"Hmph!" Zhang Zhengrong's eyes were filled with excitement, but his face was dark. He was clearly very dissatisfied with Zhang Guodong's three-month absence due to a special situation, and this time he was genuinely angry. Ye Cuihua's eyes were also a little red, but she looked curiously at the two young women behind Zhang Guodong—they were very beautiful! She immediately glared at Zhang Guodong.

She misunderstood!

Zheng Tianfu looked at the two women, Xuan Qingwen and Zhang Guodong, with some surprise, as if waiting for an explanation.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Zhang Guodong immediately greeted Zheng Le and the four elders with a smile, saying, "This is my eldest senior sister, Xuan Qingbai, and this is my fifth senior sister, Qingzhu! These two senior sisters are my wife, these two are my parents, and these two are my father-in-law and mother-in-law. As for these two little ones, I am their daughter and son!"

Shock!

Xuan Qingji and Qingzhu were surprised that Zhang Guodong already had a wife and children, but they quickly realized what was happening, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, Uncles and Aunts!"

The "hello" was addressed to Zheng Le. Qingzhu, now a little girl, curiously observed everything, but the way she was addressed made them feel awkward, as it was an outsider's way of addressing them.

Fortunately, Zhang Guodong taught them quite a few times, and they were finally able to cope.

Zheng Le's refined and ethereal beauty surprised the two women; after all, Zheng Le's beauty was considered exceptional even in the plant cultivation world. Zhang Guodong, on the other hand, was much more ordinary. They never expected that Zhang Guodong would be able to marry such a beautiful woman!

Zheng Le was slightly taken aback, then immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Senior Sister, hello, Senior Sister Qingzhu, come in quickly."

The four elders quickly realized what was happening and warmly welcomed Xuan Qingban and Qingzhu, but they were filled with great doubt. "Senior Sister?" That title sounded rather archaic, like something from a sect's address. The warm hospitality from the two families made Xuan Qingban and Qingzhu feel somewhat uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Zhang Guodong held a small child in each arm, playing with them.

It was strange. When Zhang Guodong held them, they weren't shy or fussy at all; they just giggled. Especially when Zhang Guodong kissed them, their chubby little hands scratched his face. So soft and pink. It felt so good.

"Missing your dad? You guys?" Zhang Guodong teased. At the same time, he thought of Ye Yun and his other child.

Unfortunately, they couldn't understand each other. While they were hugging, Zhang Xiaowen suddenly urinated. Zhang Guodong felt a warm sensation on his body, but it was too late. This guy could even urinate while laughing, leaving Zhang Guodong both amused and exasperated.

Isn't it said that children should cry and fuss at this time?

"Oh dear. This brat, your dad came back from the internet and he peed on him!" Ye Cuihua saw her son's wry smile, already covered in her grandson's urine, so she quickly took him and changed his diaper.

At this moment, Mei Lan also came over with a smile and took Zhang Xiaotong from her, saying, "Our Tongtong is so good, Guodong. Go change your clothes and greet the guests. Your mother and I can take care of the child."

"Okay!" Zhang Guodong sighed helplessly, quickly went to the bathroom to change his shirt, and then changed his clothes in the bedroom before coming out.

Xuan Qingji and Qingzhu were a little uncomfortable with their fathers' and Zheng's father's politeness, so Zhang Guodong quickly said that they were tired and asked them to go upstairs to rest first, which finally freed the two girls from their duties.

There were two more apartments upstairs, fully equipped, so Xuan Qingbo and Qingzhu chose one and settled in first.

When Zhang Guodong came in again, his father and Zheng's father called him into the study. Clearly, they had something to ask him.

"Dad, Dad, ask me anything you want to know. I'll tell you everything I can," Zhang Guodong said with a wry smile as he entered the study and saw their posture.

Mr. Zheng laughed and said, "Are those two girls really your senior sisters? What's going on?"

Zhang Guodong pondered for a moment, then said, half-truthfully, "Actually, they are a powerful ancient martial arts sect. By chance, I joined this sect. This time, the sect elders sent some senior sisters and brothers out of the mountains, mainly for training. However, they have been isolated from the outside world for a long time, so I am responsible for teaching them some modern common sense."

It is true that there will be training, but not in ancient martial arts sects, but in the far more powerful world of plant cultivation! However, this cannot be explained to ordinary people, otherwise it will cause chaos.

"Ancient martial arts sects?" This stunned both Dad and Zheng's father. Do such things still exist in this world?

“Yes. However, basically only a few ancient families know a little about it, it’s very secret, so Dad. Dad, this matter must be kept secret. Do you remember the pills you took before? They were actually taken from the sect,” Zhang Guodong said.

Zhang Zhengrong and Zheng Tianfu exchanged a glance; they both realized the seriousness of the situation. If word got out, it would likely cause a major upheaval.

"Don't worry about that, we know how to keep it a secret, it's out!" said Zhang Zhengrong, the father.

“This ancient martial arts sect is very powerful. Pu Shi Huang Qi Shao there can live to be 150 years old, and many can live to be 200 years old!” Zhang Guohang said three times.

"Two hundred years old?" Obviously. This statement stunned the two elders again. This topic seemed like a fantasy; the longest-living person in the world was only a little over one hundred and twenty years old, yet ordinary people there could live to be two hundred!

“Son, does that mean your mother and I can both live to be a hundred?” Zhang Zhengrong said suddenly with interest.

Zhang Guodong was amused and nodded, saying, "Although immortality is difficult, I now have a way to help you two live to be 140 or 150 years old!"

"Dad, Mom is the same way!"

Mr. Zheng nodded solemnly, a hint of excitement in his eyes. Now in his sixties, he felt like an old man, never imagining he'd live to be 140 or 150. He'd feel like a young man now; how could the two elders not be thrilled!

"How did they do that?" That's what they're concerned about.

Zhang Guodong prepared his explanation and said, "By using elixirs to regulate the body, coupled with regular exercise, the medicinal effects can be absorbed very well. After a certain period of time, it can achieve the goal of prolonging life. Originally, elixirs were not needed, but the outside world is now severely polluted, and the environment is even worse, so we have no choice. The environment in the sect is very good. People living there can live long lives without elixirs!"

Zhang Guodong meant that you should exercise regularly. Although he can no longer transfer the spirits of demons into his family members so they can cultivate together, the effects of regular exercise while taking elixirs are still quite significant.

A strong body allows for better absorption of the medicinal and spiritual power in elixirs, gradually leading to longevity.

"Alright, starting today. I must exercise every day!" Zhang Zhengrong said. Now, taking various pills without side effects, he feels his youthful strength and mentality returning, like a young lad, a feeling that makes him very happy.

Now that Zhang Guodong had spoken, he was naturally filled with longing for life. He still had nearly a hundred years to live; it would be such a waste to give up such a wonderful life! Xiao Yindang's advertisement for Yindang, "House," Zheng's father said seriously, "I think we shouldn't tell your mother or your Aunt Mei about this. Too many people involved might cause problems!"

“Your father-in-law is right. It’s fine if we tell this, but no one else, no matter who they are, can tell!” Zhang Zhengrong said.

"I'll do as Dad and Dad arrange!" Zhang Guodong nodded hurriedly in agreement, naturally more than happy to do so.

Although the story is somewhat fictional, everything that needed to be done was done, and the goal was achieved.

"Guodong, since you're not planning to go back there this time, you need to take care of Lele's situation and try your best to reduce her stress!" After finishing the important matter, Dad raised his eyebrows and said to Zhang Guodong.

Zhang Guodong was puzzled. What did she want?

“Well, it’s like this, you’ve been gone for three months, and if Lele takes another four months of leave from work, it’ll be a year, so we need to sort out her work situation. She’s thinking of taking a position as a host,” Zheng’s father continued. “Lele is currently an administrative staff member, so she’s considered a government cadre, at the level of a section chief. If she wants to work in a department, should she be transferred laterally or promoted? Which department should she go to? You also need to consider that. It’s best if you two discuss it and reach an agreement!”

Zhang Guodong was quite surprised to learn that Zheng Le was actually a section-level cadre. Many TV hosts, after all, are freelancers, as this allows them to earn more money.

He could probably understand Zheng Le's thoughts.

Now a mother of two, Zheng Le's sacrifice of her job truly moved Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong pondered for a moment, thinking that changing jobs might be good. Don't be fooled by the prestige of being a host; it's actually very tiring and difficult, not easy at all. The pressure is immense.

"Yes, it's good that she's changed. I'll discuss it with her and see which department she wants to join."

Zhang Guodong left some longevity pills, health-strengthening pills, and blood-replenishing pills for the two elders before leaving the study.

Zheng Le sat on the sofa, the two little ones were currently nursing from bottles. Her breast milk wasn't enough, so she had to supplement with high-quality formula and other milk powders. Fortunately, both little ones were growing very healthily.

Zhang Guodong came over and put his arm around her. He wanted to kiss her a few times, but Zheng Le pushed him away a few times. She said shyly, "Don't be silly, Mom and Dad are in the kitchen."

"It's alright, I haven't tasted meat in three months, let's get intimate, don't you want to?" Zhang Guodong said with a lewd grin.

"It's only been three months, and you've become so lewd!" Zheng Le said, blushing. But he let Zhang Guodong hug him.

"Hehe, I have something to tell you. Dad told me you want to change jobs. I wanted to ask, which department would you like to go to? Provincial TV station? Local station?" Zhang Guodong also became serious and said.

In his view, working at a provincial television station wouldn't offer much room for development, given his background in journalism and his expertise in propaganda work; however, it would be difficult to break out of this circle in the future. Working at a local level, on the other hand, would provide a much wider range of career options.

Although Zhang Guodong doesn't rely on his women to gain public attention, he respects their choices. Because they aren't his kept women; they also have their own aspirations.

Zheng Le looked at her husband with slight surprise, feeling somewhat touched.

“Have you thought this through? Whatever you choose, I support you. As for the child, the four elders don't have much to do each day and can help us take care of him. This is a serious matter!” Zhang Guodong kissed her cheek, reminding her. “I don't want you to just be a housewife at home. You need to have your own aspirations!”
