Chapter 136: Sour (Part 3) I feel so sour and envious...
Yao Zhizhi was delighted. This was a great feat that had been delivered to her doorstep, so she had to give it up! And there was also a melon-eating reward! Killing two birds with one stone!
He quickly pulled Qi Changxiao and whispered something in his ear.
Xu Kai had seen Yao Zhizhi at the police station and knew that she was the director's daughter-in-law and was well aware of his background. Seeing this, he ran away without even leaving his mother behind, not to mention the unconscious Zhang Xiaohua.
As a result, he had just come from the muddy side, and the soles of his shoes were covered in mud. The road was too slippery for him to step on, and he lost his balance. He fell on his back after running only a few steps.
Like a giant turtle that can't get up, it is dragged down by its heavy shell and can only surrender.
Qi Changxiao caught the man without any effort.
Looking back, he saw his wife fighting with Mrs. Xu. The old woman was very shameless. She stretched out her hand to rip his wife's clothes, and made his wife pull and twist. With a snap, she broke the old woman's arm.
The screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, quickly attracted other colleagues.
Yao Zhizhi saw Xiao Jiang and quickly called out, "Hurry up and call the police to arrest them! This mother and son kidnapped a woman! And they're trying to get away!"
Soon, Yang Shuming, Xiao Jin and others all rushed over and asked their colleagues to take the mother and child away.
Li Man, who was one step behind when she got the news, rushed forward to help the doctors and nurses lift her daughter into the car.
She turned around and asked Xiao Jin which couple was standing up for justice. Xiao Jin pointed at Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao. Li Man immediately rushed over and knelt down in front of the couple.
I still want to kowtow.
Yao Zhizhi quickly asked her to get up: "Hurry up and go to the hospital to see if your daughter is seriously injured."
"Oh, okay, thank you!" Li Man asked the name again, and was stunned to learn that this was Yao Zhizhi, the victim of the girl-swap incident.
After getting in the car, I was still in a daze, and my mind was full of thoughts: This Yao Zhizhi is really different from Yao Jingjing.
One is a wicked villain, the other is kindhearted and even has an arm removed! How wonderful!
When we got to the hospital, we immediately asked the doctor to take a look. Fortunately, my eldest daughter only had a little blood clot on her brain and it was not a serious problem.
Li Man finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help crying while sitting in front of the hospital bed.
When the second and third brothers rushed over, Zhang Xiaohua had already woken up.
The mother and her two daughters discussed and decided to give the couple a banner tomorrow.
Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohua would have been abducted to who knows where by now.
The thought of it made them scared, and the four of them, mother and daughter, hugged each other and cried together.
Fortunately, everything is over and everything will be fine.
After crying enough, Zhang Xiaohua asked, "Mom, where's my dad? Why doesn't he come to see me?"
Li Man had no choice but to continue lying: "Your father just had surgery and needs to stay in bed. His temperature has dropped significantly, and the doctor won't let him out."
"Is he in this hospital?" Zhang Xiaohua hadn't seen her father for several months.
Li Man shook her head: "In the military hospital, wait for me to ask the doctor, and then I will take you to see him if it is convenient."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaohua was a little tired, with an IV drip still in her hand, and she fell asleep quickly.
Li Man left the second child to stay by her bedside and called the third child out: "Don't let anything about your father slip out, okay?"
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do." Zhang Xiaobei sighed silently. She didn't know how to answer her sister next time she asked. In short, she would just put it off for a day.

Yao Zhizhi went to work as usual, but found that her colleagues looked at her strangely.
She glanced over curiously, and saw Wu Wei covering his arms with a look of fear on his face.
Xiao Song couldn't help but complain to him: "Look how scared you are! Is our editor-in-chief the kind of person who would casually remove someone's arms? Isn't it that old woman who brought this upon herself?"
"That's right, you haven't done anything bad, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Jiang also didn't like Wu Wei's exaggerated reaction.
Why? If a woman is a little brave, she will be regarded as a scourge. What kind of stupid idea is that? Don't indulge him!
Wu Wei lowered his head silently and apologized: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking... I..."
He remembered that he had exchanged jobs with Xiao Zhao, and wondered if Editor-in-Chief Yao would hold a grudge against him.
Yao Zhizhi certainly didn't hold a grudge against him, and he didn't know Xiao Zhao's true intentions. Besides, his mother was indeed sick and needed money.
She didn't want to talk about it, so she simply changed the subject: "Okay, I have good news for everyone. The New Year is coming soon, and the benefits you made wishes for are almost ready! Hurry up and get to work, there's no room for slacking off!"
"Really! Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Yao!"
"Does everyone have it?"
"Treat everyone equally?"
There were many curious voices, but Yao Zhizhi refused to answer. She smiled mysteriously, closed the door, and went away.
"Oh, this Editor-in-Chief Yao really knows how to manipulate people's hearts!" Zhou Juan was so curious that she muttered to herself and took out the manuscript to proofread.
It's really annoying. Last time she asked Yao Zhizhi, she and Xu Wei went for a check-up, and the results showed that both of them were normal. However, several months have passed and there is still no movement in her stomach.
Oh, I'm so envious. Yao Zhizhi is so lucky. She has both a son and a daughter, and her family helps take care of them. All she has to do is focus on her career.
The more he thought about it, the more sour he felt. He couldn't help but mutter to Wu Wei, "Hey, what kind of surprise is she planning? Could it be that she gives different things to everyone? Is it possible... that she gives something nice to those who are close to her, and just something casual to those who are not so close?"
How would Wu Wei know that last year during the Chinese New Year, Yao Zhizhi went out to prepare for childbirth, and it was Lu Yuan who was in charge of the New Year's welfare. She just distributed some peach cakes, twisted dough sticks, brown sugar and so on to everyone.
This year was the first time that Yao Zhizhi was in charge of the New Year's welfare, so he could only ignore Zhou Juan and focus on his own business.
But Zhou Juan was so eager that she asked Xiao Song and Xiao Jiang, but they both said they didn't know.
Zhou Juan was so angry that she couldn't proofread a few pages in the whole afternoon. Wu Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so he took her copy to help him meet the deadline.
This is the manuscript that Director Yuan asked Xiao Wang to deliver. It is the learning material for the agency to use next month. The time is tight and the requirements are strict. No typos are allowed. How can Zhou Juan be so careless?
Wu Wei didn't like her, so he moved his chair towards Zhang Datong, and they both had to hold on tight so as not to delay their work.
After get off work that night, Zhou Juan called her mother to complain: "How long do I have to wait before I can get a job? I don't want to be a proofreader anymore. It's so boring."
"Just be patient. When there's a chance in the future, I'll help you find a good place." Zhou Ying doted on the child and tried to persuade him.
Zhou Juan was helpless and complained to her mother again: "That Yao Zhizhi, she's so secretive about preparing New Year's benefits. How annoying. She uses a feather as a token of authority and doesn't even think about her academic qualifications. If you hadn't praised her——"
"Juan'er, how can you talk like that!" Zhou Ying realized something was wrong and quickly reminded her.
Zhou Juan couldn't listen at all. She felt uncomfortable knowing that there was such a winner in life who was comparing her with others everywhere.
I couldn't help but mutter, "Is it not okay for me to tell you in private? I didn't say it to her face."
Zhou Ying quickly cut her off. "Don't say that either. I don't want to hear it! Even if I don't bring it up, someone else will. She's already capable of writing news releases for the newspaper, has a stable serialized novel, and has made significant contributions. If it weren't for President Li's powerful backing, she'd be more than qualified to be president. You're just a kid, don't interfere."
Zhou Juan curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Then she doesn't need this job, so why not give it to me? Haven't you seen how powerful she is every day? Why can't that person be me? It makes me depressed just thinking about it."
"Give it to you? Can you run a magazine? Can you write articles? I know your worth. Stop it. Just follow her and I won't lead you in the wrong direction." Zhou Ying was so anxious that she tried to persuade him. What was wrong with this kid? Why was he always staring at Yao Zhizhi? He hadn't offended her.
Zhou Juan snorted coldly and hung up the phone. She didn't want to listen anymore.
Zhou Juan had no choice but to call her brother and ask the child's uncle to do some ideological work.
Zhou Juan responded with a few words and sent her uncle away.
The more this happens, the angrier I get. It's as if the whole world revolves around Yao Zhizhi. It's so annoying.
When I went to bed that night, I muttered to Xu Wei, "I just can't accept it. I'm going to write a novel tomorrow and submit it to a newspaper."
Xu Wei sighed silently: "It's fine to submit your work. This is fair competition. Just don't have any bad intentions. Lv Yuan's example is there."
"I know. You're so annoying." Zhou Juan turned off the lights and went to sleep.
After thinking about it, she felt unwilling to give in, so she stood up and asked the man for her share of the money. Xu Wei saw that she was so petty today and had no interest in her, but he could not stand her making a fuss, and in the end she succeeded.
The next day when Zhou Juan went to work, she found that there were two more people in the message room, holding a banner. It was obvious that they were waiting for Yao Zhizhi.
Zhang Wang and Xie Dayou were chatting with Li Man, and they talked about Editor-in-Chief Yao every other sentence. Zhang Xiaobei stood beside them and listened with a smile. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Zhou Juan was very unhappy. She didn't know where Yao Zhizhi got her good luck from! She was so envious that her eyes turned red. She snorted coldly and turned to go upstairs.
He had no mood to work, so he just stood by the window and looked at Yao Zhizhi's smug face.
Soon, Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao arrived, and Li Man quickly called her little daughter to go and greet them.
"Editor-in-Chief Yao, Editor-in-Chief Qi, good morning." Li Man was very polite and addressed everyone by their positions.
Yao Zhizhi jumped out of the car with a smile: "It's Aunt Man, you're so polite. Why would you send me a banner? We just happened to run into each other and called the police. It's nothing."
"Hey, that's not what I meant. You don't know, I protected my daughter too well. She didn't know how treacherous people are. If she had been taken away, I don't know how she would have suffered in the future. I was so anxious yesterday that I almost hanged myself, but I didn't expect such a turn of events. Thank you so much." Li Man quickly called Zhang Xiaobei, and the mother and daughter spread out the banner together and personally handed it to Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao.
The couple felt reluctant to refuse and had to accept it.
There was warm applause coming from the editorial office upstairs, and colleagues were watching from the window.
Yao Zhizhi looked up and understood Zhou Juan's sour look.
I chatted with Li Man and her daughter again. When I mentioned her family situation, Li Man lied and said that her husband had a terminal illness and was dying.
Yao Zhizhi knew she was lying and hinted, "Actually, if your lover is really gone, you could consider changing the children's surnames. Then, it wouldn't be so easy for old neighbors and acquaintances to find out about the three children."
"Yes, why didn't I think of it?" Li Man slapped her forehead, as if suddenly enlightened. After thanking him repeatedly, she took her little daughter away.
Unfortunately, they are still hiding the news. Zhang Tianping was hit and killed on the train tracks in another place. His face is probably blurred and his identity cannot be identified.
It is a bit difficult to change my surname now, so I have to use my connections to bypass Zhang Tianping and change my file directly.
Thanks to this connection, a friend introduced him to Gong Jiabao's connections.
When they met, Li Man asked about the market situation. Gong Jiabao had been feeling very depressed recently, being stared at by the old woman every day and not being able to feel free.
He took his anger out on the people who came to him for help and asked for a huge sum of two hundred yuan. Except for the eldest daughter who was an adult and did not need the parents' signatures, the two younger ones were charged one hundred yuan each.
