Cheng Yehan introduced Jiang Ci to Mr. Huo, saying, "This is my junior, Jiang Ci. She came along because she was worried that I had come all this way."
"This is the old friend I told you about on the way here."
Jiang Ci immediately went over and shook hands with him. "Mr. Huo, hello. I am Jiang Ci, Jiang as in great rivers and lakes, and Ci as in blue and white porcelain."
"A good name." Mr. Huo looked Jiang Ci up and down.
She's been taking better care of herself lately. Although her skin is still a bit sallow, she's in great spirits. She has an oval face, a straight nose, and bright, clear eyes.
Jiang Ci was wearing new clothes made from the fabric that Zhou Mingli and Xiao Qu had exchanged: a white shirt, dark blue trousers, a dark green military satchel on her back, and her long hair neatly tied into a ponytail, making her look energetic.
A faint smile played on her lips; she was neither reserved nor obsequious, but poised and graceful.
She's a really nice girl.
Mr. Huo laughed and shook hands with Jiang Ci. "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Ci deliberately lagged behind by two steps, allowing Cheng Yehan and Mr. Huo to walk and talk side by side. Although she didn't walk alongside them, she could still hear the two old men talking clearly, so as to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble.
The three entered the courtyard. The green plants climbing the fence blocked their view, so Jiang Ci did not see a man and a woman coming out of the three-story Western-style building next door.
Jiang Ci didn't recognize the man, but she was certain she would recognize the woman at a glance!
The woman wore a beautiful camel-colored knitted long dress, her black hair flowing down her shoulders. She was beautiful, and this rather gentle and elegant outfit made her look both tender and intellectual.
Who is this woman?
Liu Yinyin.
Her eyes were always sparkling, and when she looked at the man, they were full of affection and indescribable tenderness.
"Mr. Guo, thank you so much for your help. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done as a woman with a child who is not even four years old." Liu Yinyin expressed her gratitude to the man in front of her again.
“Now my son and I have a place to live, all thanks to you, Mr. Guo. I will always remember your kindness.”
The man appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He was tall, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and looked quite respectable. He was the man Liu Yinyin had mentioned when she went to great lengths to meet Xia Lei in prison—Guo Zhen.
Guo Zhen put his hands in his pockets and said, "Since you're willing to invest so much to get in, that's enough to show your sincerity."
His gaze swept over Liu Yinyin, and his voice grew increasingly indifferent, "Xia Lei's matter is a bit troublesome; it will take some time to get him out."
Liu Yinyin's heart bled at the thought of the priceless jade seal. She forced a smile and said, "It's alright. As long as he's alright, I don't care how long I have to wait for him to come out."
Guo Zhen raised his hand, "You can make another request. As long as I can do it, I will agree to it."
Liu Yinyin was shocked and looked up at Guo Zhen.
He came from an extraordinary background. When Liu Yinyin saw that he lived alone in such a luxurious villa with a car parked inside, she could easily guess what was going on.
With Guo Zhen's guarantee, Liu Yinyin really didn't need to worry about him not being able to do it.
Now that Guo Zhen has spoken, it means that even if she asks Guo Zhen to get her a job right now, Guo Zhen will arrange it for her without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Liu Yinyin, who had never done any work before, never considered going to work, and she never even thought about it.
Anyway, as long as Xia Lei is brought out, he can make money. She just needs to be a beautiful little woman, occasionally write some articles and submit them, be a well-known writer, and enjoy the love of her book fans.
Liu Yinyin didn't intend to ask Guo Zhen to help her arrange a job; what she was thinking about was that she couldn't let her grudge against Xia Lei go unavenged.
The culprits who caused her so much fear these past few days, who put her husband in jail, and who separated them from each other! She must make them pay the price!
Liu Yinyin was filled with hatred. She bit her lip, hardened her heart, and said, "Mr. Guo may not know that everything my husband and I are going through now is inextricably linked to an educated youth."
“Ever since my husband and I were sent to the countryside, she has been constantly causing trouble for us. Not only does she often try to frame people, but she is also two-faced.”
"This kind of person will become a menace no matter where they are."
Guo Zhen understood what Liu Yinyin meant.
It was obvious that she wanted to keep that so-called educated youth trapped in the mud forever.
He glanced at Liu Yinyin. "Is that educated youth still in Zhongmo Town?"
Liu Yinyin hummed in agreement.
Guo Zhen said in a flat tone, "Just an educated youth who can only stay in the countryside for the rest of his life and will never be able to turn his life around."
"What's your name?"
"Her name is Jiang Ci, and her husband's name is Zhou Mingli."
Guo Zhen nodded, indicating that he understood.
It was quite easy for him to kill a countryman or a sent-down youth.
Liu Yinyin felt a surge of joy at the thought that Jiang Ci would be stuck in Shanding Brigade and never be able to return to the city.
Guo Zhen specially arranged for his assistant to drive Liu Yinyin back.
Liu Yinyin did not refuse, thanked Guo Zhen repeatedly, got into the car, and left happily.
After the car drove away, Guo Zhen raised his hand to push up the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses and muttered to himself in a detached tone, "A man who makes a woman run around getting someone released, he's really something."
Guo Zhen felt no sympathy for Xia Lei whatsoever.
Since he lacks the ability, he shouldn't get involved in buying and selling cultural relics.
The attempt to slander someone backfired, and instead, he was caught red-handed and imprisoned. Based on this alone, Guo Zhen had already placed Xia Lei in the category of people he was not suitable to associate with.
