"That's all for this dinner party," Zheng Lin said, pulling Su Jin up again. "Let's go home. It's too noisy here."
Su Jin was also a bit tired and her stomach wasn't feeling well. Anyway, she had come today, so it wasn't a waste of the old man's kindness.
Assistant Gao stood at the entrance of the hall. Zheng Lin passed by him, stopped, and instructed him: "Buy all the jewelry tonight."
"Under what pretext should we buy it? Or should we just keep quiet?" Assistant Gao thought for a moment and then added, "Exactly, if we buy so much at once, someone will definitely ask us later, so I need to have an explanation."
It's best to clarify these things first. He can't make decisions on his own. Whether there's a reason or not, whether to say it or not, it all depends on the boss.
"What reason do I need to buy it for my wife?" Zheng Lin pulled Su Jin a few steps, then turned back and called Assistant Gao back, "Gao Zixin."
Assistant Gao waited for him to speak.
"Just say it's for my wedding preparations. Also, tell these people not to send photos of their daughters, nieces, and nephews to my work email anymore, so it will reduce your daily workload." After giving these instructions, Zheng Lin left with Su Jin.
For so many years, the boss has never paid attention to the work email. Assistant Gao brings it up more than 20 times a year, all about these people sending spam emails, single-mindedly trying to curry favor with their boss.
But how did Zheng Lin respond to him?
Zheng Lin would only give a brief "hmm" each time.
Assistant Gao was overjoyed; thanks to the boss's wife, his workload could finally be reduced.
After Assistant Gao went on stage and communicated with the person in charge, all the remaining jewelry was sold. He said a few words to the host and then left the venue.
The host, holding the microphone, said, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for purchasing all the jewelry for tonight's banquet."
The host found it difficult to continue, so he reorganized his words, "The following is what Young Master Zheng asked me to say on his behalf. Young Master Zheng said that he is about to have a wedding, and these jewels are for the wedding. Also, please do not send any personal photos unrelated to work to his work email."
"Is Young Master Zheng getting married?"
Who is your marriage partner?
"Today I saw a woman next to Zheng Shao, wearing a mask and not showing her face."
"I had heard that the Zheng Group and the Wudu Group were going through a marriage alliance, and the other party was a divorcee."
"..." Their unmarried daughters, nieces, and nephews are not as good as a divorced woman? Young Master Zheng has just slapped them all in the face.
Almost everyone here has sent photos of their daughters, nieces, or grandnieces to Young Master Zheng's work email.
Song Leilei listened silently to their heated discussion, then complained to Xu Jingzhi, "These people just think too highly of themselves. Are all rich people like this? They're completely unreasonable."
“You hate the rich, huh?” Xu Jingzhi licked his lips, then suddenly stood up, winked at her with his right eye, and said, “Not all rich people are like that. For example, I’m very reasonable.”
Song Leilei: "You're so poor, of course you're reasonable. If you were rich, you'd definitely be even less reasonable than them."
Xu Jingzhi: "......" Well, anyway, he's not a good person.
......
Zheng Family Manor.
When he returned, Zheng Lin's room was being renovated, with workers coming and going.
The butler came up and said, "You just left? The master was thinking about your wedding. The wedding is coming soon. He noticed that your room is often empty, so he was thinking of renovating your bedroom. After the wedding, you and the second young mistress can live in the newly renovated bridal chamber."
He paused, then added, "The things have all been moved to the second young mistress's room."
Zheng Lin smiled and said, "Let him be."
Over the years, Zheng Lin had misunderstood Zheng Youguo. He had already resolved this misunderstanding in his heart, and now, when he thought of his adoptive father, Zheng Youguo, he felt much more at ease.
For an adopted son with no blood relation to him, to have treated him with such care for so many years is already an immense kindness.
Zheng Lin was not a heartless person.
The butler watched the second young master turn away with light steps and said casually, "I thought the second young master would be angry, but I didn't expect him to smile."
The butler turned and went to the study to tell the master, "The second young master smiled."
"What?" Zheng Youguo exclaimed. He looked up, wearing his reading glasses, while the background music of playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) played on his phone. "You're saying he laughed? Impossible! I've raised this son for so many years, I know his temperament too well. If I suddenly renovated his room without his permission, his face would definitely be as black as coal!"
Butler: "But the second young master really smiled."
Zheng Youguo blinked, his excited finger twitching slightly: "Not dark-skinned?"
"Not dark-skinned, very fair-skinned. And with a smile on his face."
“This…” Zheng Youguo wanted to elaborate further, but glancing at his phone, the screen showed that it was being managed.
He exclaimed "Oh dear!" and quickly canceled the AFK mode, slapped his thigh, and said, "What a waste of such a good hand of mine."
The butler craned his neck to look at his phone. "This can be disassembled; the other side definitely can't afford it."
After finishing a game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), Zheng Youguo put his phone aside, and only then did the butler continue to share the news he had heard with the master.
"At tonight's jewelry banquet, the second young master bought all the jewelry and gave it to the second young mistress."
"Well done." Zheng Youguo, as the biggest fan of his son and daughter-in-law's CP, smiled like an aunt. "As expected of the men of my Zheng family, just like me. What's that called again?" He couldn't find the right word to describe it.
Zheng Youguo turned his gaze to the butler.
Upon receiving the master's distress signal, the butler immediately looked at the ceiling, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Overbearing. Just like you, overbearing."
Zheng Youguo suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, that's it."
"What about the second young master's background?" the butler reminded him.
The last time was originally a good opportunity to be honest. He called Xu's father and wanted to reveal the secret of Zheng Lin's background, but it didn't work out.
But now the second young master's attitude towards the master has improved a lot, so perhaps now is a good time to take advantage of the situation.
Zheng Youguo's gaze deepened. "Let's wait a bit longer. It's not too late to tell him after we find his biological mother."
......
Su Jin's room was separated from Zheng Lin's bedroom by only one wall. Since the room on the other side was being renovated, it wouldn't be very quiet on the other side either.
Su Jin wanted to take off her dress, but she couldn't reach the zipper at the back, so she had to call Zheng Lin for help.
Zheng Lin lifted her long hair, pinched the zipper pull with his fingers, and pulled it down.
The woman's beautiful shoulder blades and the fair skin on her back were exposed to the air.
He took a deep breath through his nose, and the blood in a certain part of his body instantly ignited.
It wasn't the first time they'd been in such a physical encounter, and he still found it hard not to be moved.
Zheng Lin's Adam's apple bobbed. "Could we...?"
"Can't you do what?" Su Jin covered the fabric covering her chest and turned around.
