"Forget it, let's call the three of them, and let's go out for a walk, eat something, and see the customs and habits of Key City."
Jun Jing nodded slightly, "We need to act like corrupt officials who are traveling on public funds, so that those people will think that we can be assimilated."
Bai Lu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Anyone who can make everyone obey is not a pushover. It's not that easy to catch them. We just need to act like usual and don't be too exaggerated."
Jun Jing: ...
Isn't it an exaggeration normally?
Yaocheng is not big, but there are many dishes in the state-owned restaurant!
Bai Lu looked at the dishes. There were fish, meat, and seafood too!
Yaocheng is an inland city, how can it have such abundant supplies?
We ordered a lot of dishes, but avoided seafood because Bailu is pregnant and can't eat anything fishy. However, we still ordered a braised fish.
Five people sat around the table, eating lunch and chatting.
"Don't say it, Yaocheng may look small, but it has everything! The food in this state-owned restaurant is as good as those in the big hotels in Beijing!"
Bai Lu's voice was not small, attracting everyone around to look at their table.
Jun Jing responded, "Eat more! You didn't eat much on the train. I didn't let you make this trip, but you insisted on seeing the conditions of the families of these people coming to the base with your own eyes. Now you've seen it! Zhang Huan's family is very wealthy. Let's not worry about allocating funds to her from our base and let her complete her research as soon as possible!"
The other three were completely bewildered. Were they intentional? Or was it intentional? But as duty required, they remained calm and silent.
"I just want to go out and relax. I'm so tired of staying at the base every day. My belly will get bigger soon, and I won't be able to come out anymore! After dinner, we'll go back and rest. We'll walk around the area this afternoon. It's been a while since I've been to a town like this!"
The couple keeps talking to each other, there is no harmony between them!
However, when Zhang Lei returned home, he was reconciled by Li Mingzhu.
As soon as Zhang Lei entered the room, Li Mingzhu took the cup on the table and threw it at his feet.
Zhang Lei frowned and looked at his mother, "Mom, did you provoke her again?"
The man was in a very bad mood. Li Mingzhu was becoming less and less disciplined. She was so spoiled that sometimes he didn't even want to coax her!
"What does this have to do with Mom? Zhang Lei and Zhang Huan are in Jing City relying on Xu Cong and have entered the base. People from the base came today to investigate Zhang Huan's family situation. This means that after the investigation, Zhang Huan will stay in Jing City and take your whole family there. But you and I are not family, so I can't go! Please make your position clear. If you all go, what will I do alone in Yaocheng? Zhang Lei, have you been lying to me all along? Have you been thinking about going to Jing City with Xu Cong's ability?"
Zhang Lei quickly thought about what Li Mingzhu had said and almost laughed, but he suppressed his smile and said coldly, "Mingzhu, how could you think of me like that! Even if I go to Beijing, I will definitely take you with me! Otherwise, what would I do? What's the point of living without a wife, children and a warm bed?"
Li Mingzhu blushed immediately, "What are you saying in front of Mom?"
But she didn't forget the main thing. "So, what if you all have a place to go to Beijing City, but I don't? What should I do then?"
Zhang Lei was only thinking about his own trip to Beijing. He was very happy and said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get you to go with me! Once Zhang Huan's job is stable, Xu Cong will be of no use! When the time comes, if I say you are my wife, you will be, and who can say otherwise?"
Zhang Lei said, pinching Li Mingzhu's chin, "Look how angry my wife is, her face is red. Is she red because of anger or because she misses you, my man?"
Li Mingzhu is indeed a love-brained person. After being coaxed by the man for a few words, she immediately believed his words again, "Then don't lie to me! Zhang Lei, wait until Zhang Huan's job is stable, then let Xu Cong go. I don't want to see her anymore. You two should get a divorce and we can go get the marriage certificate."
Zhang Lei laughed inwardly, "Idiot! Who would take you to Jing City? Just stay here with your father and your brother and be a local tycoon!" He had already thought of an excuse. When the time came, he would tell Xu Cong that it was Li Mingzhu who forced his family to do so. After all, Xu Cong knew how powerful the Li family was in Yaocheng! If Li Mingzhu's family caused trouble for him, the Xu family would also deal with them!
Zhang Lei was overthinking it.
The reason why the Li family could be controlled by him was because the Li family engaged in improper business practices, and Li's father favored Li Mingzhu far more than Li Yongqiang.
But the Xu family was different! From a young age, the Xu family had always taught people to strive for self-improvement, and they didn't have any issues for Zhang Lei to pick on! And most importantly, Xu Cong was educated and had a clear mind! In this respect, she was very different from Li Mingzhu!
Zhang Lei had no idea that all the wonderful life he dreamed of was just like the bubble he created for Xu Cong!
"Wait until things are stable!" Zhang Lei no longer had the patience to deal with Li Mingzhu, but he still rubbed her in his arms. He was proud of what he had done in the beginning. He grabbed power with his left hand and wealth with his right hand. Now he had wealth, and although power came a little late, it was not impossible for him to have it!
Next, he had to think about how to coax Xu Cong to forget everything that happened before and let it go!
Li Mingzhu put her face on Zhang Lei's chest, rubbed it, and then said, "Mom has cooked dinner and is waiting for you to come back and eat!"
Zhang Lei immediately pushed Li Mingzhu away and hurried to eat. While eating, he was thinking about how to calm Li Mingzhu down and make her stop making trouble and be obedient for at least a period of time!
As he was thinking about this, the child next to him started to push the plates on the table and dropped them directly onto the ground.
"Snap!"
A whole plate of food fell to the ground, and Zhang's mother immediately started scolding, "Why are you picking up the dishes on the table for no reason? Didn't you get any food?"
Then he turned to Li Mingzhu and said, "Look at your child. He keeps breaking plates. Don't these plates cost money? How much money do you bring home every month? It's not even enough to support your child!"
Li Mingzhu looked at Zhang Lei with grievance, "Brother Lei, the child is usually taken care of by my mother, and I didn't ask him to break the plate... You said that I should give birth to the child and you would raise it, but I don't know how to raise a child..."
Zhang Lei suddenly knew!
Li Mingzhu must get pregnant as soon as possible!
After Zhang Huan's affairs in Beijing are settled, he can pretend to take her away, and then find out that she is pregnant. At that time, he can use the excuse of letting her take good care of the baby to keep her in Yaocheng, and come back to pick her up after the baby is born!
Ten months of pregnancy, isn’t that enough time for him to establish himself in Beijing?
If all else fails, he can report the Li family! Report the Li family in Beijing and have the higher-ups come down to investigate! That would be a great achievement for him!
