Chapter 181 Treating the Symptoms



He even found out everything about Wei Jiahong's reputation regarding his lifestyle.

Moreover, I've heard that he has a refined appearance and regular features, the kind of man that women would like.

It would have been better if he hadn't known, because once he did, Zhang Jizhou's anxiety intensified.

After finishing his phone call with Captain Liu, he stared at his reflection in the large glass window on the wall of the communications room, looking around for a long time.

The partner, who had been called away midway through due to some business, was still thinking about the question Zhang Jizhou had asked Fang Yan before he left, asking if she wanted a divorce. So he rushed back.

Upon entering the dormitory, I saw Zhang Jizhou, who never keeps a mirror, looking at his reflection in the glass window with great care.

Thinking he was just showing off, I joked, "No matter how you look at it, you're still a piece of charcoal."

Zhang Jizhou: ...

He spends most of his time either training outdoors or in the field, or on missions; his skin has never been fair.

It was pitch black, really like a piece of coal.

Zhang Jizhou, who is usually not talkative, is already rather aloof. In addition, his job requires a serious attitude, and he has to keep his men in check with a stern face.

These features already made him look fierce.

In addition, his dark, shiny skin made him look even fiercer.

No wonder Little Fish was afraid of him and didn't dare to talk to him.

"If you were a woman, would you prefer a man with fair skin, like a scholar, or a dark-skinned man?"

Zhang Jizhou glanced at his reflection in the glass window a few more times, then turned around and asked his partner very seriously.

“No,” his partner immediately remembered what he had overheard before leaving, and his joking expression vanished. He looked around to make sure no one was there before asking, “Is your wife really going to divorce you? What’s going on?”

Because of the question Zhang Jizhou had just asked, his partner took two more steps closer to him and lowered his voice slightly, "Is your wife having an affair?"

"That's not true!"

Zhang Jizhou seriously corrected him, "Don't talk nonsense about things that have nothing to do with it."

partner:……

"Didn't you ask me whether women prefer pretty boys or stern men?"

That's why he used his imagination and applied this to Fang Yan.

Zhang Jizhou corrected him again, "I'm asking, if you were a woman, would you prefer a fair-skinned scholar or a dark-skinned, poor soldier?"

“There’s no such thing as ‘what if.’ I’m not a woman, how would I know?” His partner glared at him.

Then he walked around to the other side of Zhang Jizhou, stood still, put away his previous playful expression, and asked Zhang Jizhou seriously again, "Is it true that your sister-in-law wants to divorce you?"

"I don't know." Zhang Jizhou didn't want a divorce.

But he didn't have the confidence to say that it wasn't true.

Because he knew that Fang Yan was not the original owner of the body.

If he truly fails to meet her expectations, she will genuinely divorce him.

His partner grew anxious, "Old Zhang, what time is it now? You'll be able to move up a little further soon. You can't let the divorce hold you back at this time."

Their promotions are linked to their family and marital relationships, as well as their personal lives, so the higher they go, the more they need to pay attention to their private lives.

Seeing that Zhang Jizhou didn't say anything, his partner patted him on the shoulder anxiously, "Don't you dare not listen to what I'm saying. The reason I put you in the Sharp Knife Squad was to test your abilities."

Your future will certainly not be confined to this small team.

Since its inception, the elite squad has accomplished so many important missions under your leadership, and your achievements are evident to all.

"Your superiors certainly won't let you stay here for too long. You deserve a broader stage. Don't make a mistake now and miss out on opportunities because of the divorce."

They had all heard that someone in higher-ups estimated the transfer would take place in the next year or the year after.

That location is excellent; many are secretly eyeing it.

I heard that some leaders have their eye on Zhang Jizhou and want him to take that position.

However, for organizations like theirs, unless there are clear instructions or documents from above, they will not be able to get help.

Even if the rumors circulating inside are very true, they cannot discuss this matter openly.

Otherwise, if you get caught, you'll be punished.

Seeing that he was even more anxious than himself, Zhang Jizhou comforted him instead, saying, "Things aren't as bad as you think."

"Don't take this lightly. I'm telling you, this is of utmost importance!"

My partner really understood what Zhang Jizhou was in a hurry for; such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by. That's absolutely true.

If Zhang Jizhou misses this opportunity because of his divorce, who knows how many years it will be before he has such a good opportunity again?

After all, the higher you go, the more likely it is that there's only one position available for each person.

As long as the "radish" doesn't make room, the people below can't move up.

"Or, should I call my sister-in-law and try to talk to her about it?"

This is his job, and his partner thought it was worth a try.

Zhang Jizhou thought to himself that his partner's attempt to persuade Fang Yan might actually backfire, with Fang Yan being the one to persuade him instead.

That woman definitely has that ability.

To avoid his partner questioning his life choices, Zhang Jizhou politely declined, saying, "She's busy making money every day. Unless you go to her, where are you going to do any ideological work with her?"

This is also a problem.

Gouzi Village still doesn't have a telephone, so you can't find anyone if you want to.

"That's because you finally got a vacation, but you had to return to the team early because of the snake incident, and your wife is unhappy about that?" your partner asked again.

Zhang Jizhou was thinking about something else and did not respond immediately.

When he was about to respond, his partner took his silence as an admission and said, "It's all because of the long-term separation."

As he spoke, he paced back and forth a few times, then suddenly stopped. “Last time you gave away the house that was supposed to be yours. This time, I’ll go out of my way to try and get it back for you.”

If Fang Yan is angry and upset because she resents Zhang Jizhou for being away from home due to his military service, and wants to divorce him, then the solution is to apply for a house so that she can move in with him while he is away.

"It's settled then. You just need to wait for me to get the house application approved, and then you can go and pick up your sister-in-law and her daughter."

Zhang Jizhou opened his mouth, intending to say that the houses in the neighboring regimental compound were already in short supply, so where were you going to find a house?

As a result, he had barely opened his mouth when his partner, with a decisive air, shut him down.
