The other party was moving too fast, and the guards on the outpost couldn't dodge in time and were splashed with snow.
"Ugh, what's wrong with this person!"
Another person rushed out from the sentry post. "He hasn't registered yet."
The guard glanced at the license plate—blue background with white characters starting with the character "甲"—and finally shook his head helplessly.
"Never mind, never mind."
Jiang Si was standing near the gate, so she naturally saw this scene.
To be honest, she was quite surprised.
She had lived in the old house for a while, but this was the first time she had ever seen such a domineering person.
Just then, Huo Tingzhou drove up and saw that his wife didn't look too good, so he assumed she was getting impatient.
"Wife, get in the car quickly." He opened the car door quickly.
Once everyone was seated, Huo Tingzhou immediately fastened her seatbelt.
"Sorry, there was a minor problem with the car's engine, but it's just been fixed."
"It's nothing." Jiang Si shook her head, somewhat absentmindedly.
Huo Tingzhou noticed something was wrong with her. "Did something happen just now?"
Jiang Si didn't hide anything from him and told him what had just happened.
The alley in front of the family compound is very wide, and there wasn't a single car in the opposite lane just now.
That lunatic deliberately kept honking the horn, clearly trying to scare people.
And the change in the other person's expression when she turned around just now was too obvious.
It's hard for her not to see it.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Si read out the license plate number.
Regardless of who it is, since the other party shows no goodwill, it's not a bad thing to figure things out.
"When you have time, check whose car this is."
Upon hearing that it started with the character "甲" (jia), Huo Tingzhou felt there was no need to investigate further.
Although he had only returned to the compound a handful of times during his ten years in the army, he didn't really understand the intricacies between the various factions.
But he knew one thing well: the higher one's position, the more cautious one would be in one's words and actions.
For the Yu family to spread rumors behind people's backs is already considered a very outrageous act.
Not to mention those who dare to force their way into the family compound without registering.
Jiang Si immediately guessed his identity from his expression, "Do you already know who this person is?"
Huo Tingzhou nodded. "The cars with the license plate starting with 'Jia' are military vehicles. Only the Ling family would do something so outrageous."
Upon hearing the mention of the Ling family, Jiang Si's doubts instantly vanished.
No wonder the other person looked so ugly when I turned around, and looked at me like I was trash.
Thinking about it, it's not surprising. What kind of person can get married and divorced four times in less than six years?
Who knows, in another two years we might actually be able to put together an "Eight Families" for him!
Jiang Si didn't say anything at the time, but her eyes showed genuine disdain.
"Let's go, let's go to the Artists Association first."
Huo Tingzhou took in his wife's reaction, and his eyes darkened.
Half an hour later, he parked his car next to the China Artists Association.
Because he had been accompanying Jiang Si to paint murals in the square for some time, his recuperation plans had been put on hold.
The junior staff member in charge of coordinating the recuperation arrangements has been making many visits to the clinic recently.
There's no other way; Huo Tingzhou now has to spend three hours at the military sanatorium every morning and afternoon before he can leave.
"I'll come pick you up after you finish your treatment."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay, drive carefully."
It was very cold outside, and Huo Tingzhou was worried that she would get cold, so he gave her a few words of advice and then drove away.
It was quite a coincidence; no sooner had he left than Chairman Zhou and his entourage arrived.
However, Chairman Zhou was stunned when he saw the 'completely transformed' Jiang Si.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
“President Zhou, it’s me.” Jiang Si winked at him.
Chairman Zhou exclaimed loudly, then looked Jiang Si up and down several times before frowning and speaking.
"Who did your makeup? Girl, you need to be more careful, you've been scammed."
Jiang Si smiled awkwardly, "President Zhou, I did my own makeup."
After saying that, he quickly offered an explanation.
"So that's how it is."
Chairman Zhou finally understood.
However, it is quite remarkable that she can consider things so thoroughly at such a young age.
He glanced at the time and said, "Let's go in first. The reporter from the National Daily will be here soon."
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Jiang Si had just arrived at her office and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when someone knocked on the door.
"President Zhou, they've arrived downstairs."
Chairman Zhou quickly got up and went to greet them at the door. Soon after, he led several people in.
The group was all dressed in matching dark-colored Zhongshan suits, and one of them was holding a Seagull 4 twin-lens reflex camera.
The other one was holding a thick notebook and had two Hero brand pens clipped to his chest.
Upon seeing the person in the lead, Jiang Si was stunned for a moment.
The other person was clearly a little surprised, with a noticeable forward tilt of their neck and an unconscious squinting.
Upon seeing this, Chairman Zhou quickly introduced himself to them.
"This is Comrade Jiang Si, the artist of the mural in the square."
"This is Comrade Wang Wenjie, a print reporter from the National Daily, and this is Photojournalist Liu Xiang."
"And this is...?"
At this point in the introduction, Chairman Zhou suddenly stopped talking.
It was previously agreed that two interviewers would come, and there was no mention of adding more people at the last minute.
Just as Chairman Zhou was wondering, Huo Tinghuai had already extended his hand.
"Sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't recognize you at first. I thought someone else had come to do the interview."
