Chapter 261: Marrying My Sister 1 I guess he got beaten up, his face is bruised...
When Tang Fengyuan came back in the evening, Ning Zhengrong told her that her in-laws had taken action and the matter was resolved.
Tang Fengyuan was a little annoyed: "Oh, you, you should have told me at the time. I didn't show up for such a big thing. What would my in-laws think?"
"I can't bear to see you being so annoyed by the Tian family that you can't even eat. Besides, I've been keeping an eye on things and was planning to take action, but I was just a little slow. Your in-laws won't blame you." Ning Zhengrong said softly, "If you really feel bad, then wait until Chinese New Year and give the child some extra money."
"Okay." Tang Fengyuan was helpless. She hadn't retired yet and didn't have as much free time as her in-laws.
After the storm, Yao Zhizhi lived her life as usual.
When it was almost time to get off work, Xiao Wei came to her again to gossip, "Editor Yao, I really didn't expect that Gu Yanni's mother was actually trying to instigate someone to kidnap your son?"
Yao Zhizhi didn’t know where Xiao Wei heard the news from, maybe from the transport team?
She didn't deny it.
Xiao Wei's face was filled with fear. "Oh my god, this person must be crazy. I wonder if there will be a sentence for this kind of attempted kidnapping?"
"Yes, there are also matters of malicious reporting and spreading rumors. We'll see whichever crime carries the heavier sentence." Yao Zhizhi had inquired about it, and there didn't seem to be any special laws and regulations regarding spreading rumors. However, she had a special status: her father-in-law was a martyr, her father was a retired military officer, and her mother-in-law was an active director. So if she wasn't careful, they might accuse the Gu family mother and daughter and Lu Yuan of some serious crime, which would be much more serious.
In short, everything is left to the public security and the procuratorate, and she just needs to wait for the results.
Xiao Wei still found it incredible: "I didn't expect that Gu Yanni looked so weak, but her mind was so vicious. Fortunately, she didn't succeed, otherwise you would be so sad."
"It's almost the end of the year. Will your lover come back?" Yao Zhizhi didn't want to talk about those bad things anymore, so she changed the subject.
Mentioning her man, Xiao Wei suddenly perked up: "He can't come back. He has to stand guard. The kids and I will go see him later. By the way, didn't they say the new president would be here soon? Why hasn't he made any move in such a long time?"
"The new president will arrive next week." Yao Zhizhi has already received the news from Xiao Wang. She heard that he was transferred from the provincial government, and she didn't know whether he would be easy to get along with.
In short, she doesn't cause trouble.
Xiao Wei was curious and wanted to find out more. Yao Zhizhi looked at her watch and said, "I have a meeting. You should go to work too, right?"
Xiao Wei had no choice but to retreat first.
Yao Zhizhi had just finished preparing the materials when the phone rang. Yao Weiguo's angry voice came from the other end: "Little sister, our dad told me that someone is slandering you?"
"It's okay, big brother. It's all resolved." Yao Zhizhi didn't dare to make her big brother anxious. He was so far away and couldn't do anything. She couldn't bear it. Maybe it was her second sister who told him. She quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, brother. I'm not a lamb to be slaughtered. People like this can't hurt me."
"Hey, it would be great if your third brother were here." Yao Weiguo was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters. It was easy to get irritated in late autumn, and even his voice hissed when he spoke.
Yao Zhizhi keenly caught the strange sound and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, I just have some blisters in my mouth. Wait, your sister-in-law and I have already asked for leave and will bring the children to see you next month." Yao Weiguo hadn't seen his parents and two sisters for a long time and was eager to go south.
Yao Zhizhi instructed: "Okay, then give me a call before you leave and I'll arrange accommodation."
Yao Weiguo reminded him, "Don't go to your yard by the river. It's troublesome. It's over there in the alley. There are several yards close together, so it will be lively with more people."
"Okay, brother, I'm going to a meeting. Let's talk when we have time." Yao Zhizhi was still very happy. Even if her brother couldn't help, this phone call was enough.
A week later, a new president came. He was a gay man.
He was in his thirties, fair and elegant, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a serge coat and a pair of glasses, and was very gentle.
I introduced myself: "Hello everyone, my name is Chao Risheng. Starting today, I will be the president of this company. If there are any shortcomings in my work, I hope you will give me timely feedback and urge me to correct them in time. Thank you."
The staff from the editorial and art departments gathered together and applauded enthusiastically.
After the meeting, Chao Risheng asked Yao Zhizhi to stay because he had something to talk to her about alone.
Yao Zhizhi sat down and waited quietly for him to speak.
Chao Risheng folded his hands, resting his chin on his hand, and spoke calmly, "Director Yuan showed me your work. You are very talented, but I think your writing skills are a little lacking. I have prepared a set of writing guidance books here. Take them and take a look."
Yao Zhizhi took the thick stack of books, opened them and found that they were original English versions.
She felt a little headache: "When will I return it to you? My English is very poor, I might read it slowly."
"It doesn't matter. You can return it when you finish reading it. Also, don't forget your work serialized in the newspaper. I'm still waiting for the next installment." Chao Risheng gave her an encouraging smile.
Yao Zhizhi also smiled and said, "Thank you, President Chao, for your appreciation. I'd like to ask, is the work Red Sun yours?"
"Yes." Chao Risheng didn't seem surprised. After all, he had already published Red Sun at Yicheng Publishing House, so it was easy to guess. He was just curious: "What do you think of this work?"
Yao Zhizhi answered seriously, "I personally like it. I don't like seeing several women fighting over a man, especially sisters turning against each other over a man. Seeing this, I feel sad for them. Although I know there are people like this, I hope that women in the new era can bravely reject the sweet words of philandering men, not thinking about others, and not neglecting themselves. This is the best way."
Chao Risheng smiled and said, "Thank you. This is a very high evaluation. I am also looking forward to your work. Work hard."
"Thank you." Yao Zhizhi left with a thick stack of books. When she went down to the second floor, she saw Qi Changxiao guarding the stairs.
She quickly stuffed the book into his arms: "Teach me English."
"I'm also a half-baked person. I'll study with Xiao Shen in the evening." Qi Changxiao flipped through these books. They were so thick and difficult to understand.
But it doesn’t matter, if the couple eats together, they can get twice the result with half the effort.
He was a little curious and asked, "How is the new president?"
"He's a nice guy. When President Chu came, he ignored me, but President Chao was quite approachable. I think he did his homework in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to conjure up several books out of thin air." Yao Zhizhi thought for a moment and added, "Maybe Director Yuan told him. After all, I've become a bit famous recently."
It's all Gu Yanni and Lu Yuan's fault.
Qi Changxiao turned and walked downstairs. "Director Yuan is quite good. He personally recommended this candidate, so he should be more reliable than President Chu. I just don't know if President Chao brought his wife and children with him. I'll ask him later. We can pay him a visit. After all, he lent you the book."
"Okay, I'll ask Director Yuan." Yao Zhizhi returned to the office and called Director Yuan.
Director Yuan smiled and said, "No, he's still single. He says his passion is literature. Hey, Xiao Yao, I promised his parents that I would find him a good partner. Otherwise, they wouldn't want him to come back to Yicheng to work. Just help me pick out a suitable one and recommend someone."
"Okay, Director Yuan, I'll try to pay attention." Yao Zhizhi was at a loss now. She should not visit an unmarried man. It was inappropriate.
When I got off work, I found that Qi Changxiao also had a pile of books in his hands.
She flipped through it curiously and found that it was also an original English version, all related to art.
She wanted to laugh: "Did President Chao give it to me too?"
Qi Changxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, he prepared gifts for every employee. We got the most. You got five, I got three, and everyone else got one."
Yao Zhizhi was stunned: "Are they all original English versions?"
Qi Changxiao nodded. "Yes, I asked him. He said his father was a simultaneous interpreter who specialized in accompanying high-ranking officials. That's why he's been good at English since he was young, and reading these books is effortless. His mother is a leader in the government, and her English is also very good. I'll ask my second uncle later. He should know Chao's parents."
Yao Zhizhi is a bit unlucky. Having so many original English books would be like killing her.
She could only cry: "Oh my God, he thinks too highly of us. Before Shen Qingwan came here, I didn't even know a few English words."
"So you have to learn. Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." Qi Changxiao teased, "When we've learned enough, we can show off in front of the kids. How nice."
"Hahaha, okay." Yao Zhizhi became motivated. It was still early for the college entrance examination, so she should give herself some effort. It's just five original English books, right?
If you show the willpower of Yugong moving mountains, there is nothing you can't accomplish.
When I came back to work a few days later, there was a wedding invitation written on a big red paper on my desk. Ye Zheng and Ge Hong were married, and the wedding date was the first day of next month.
Yao Zhizhi sighed silently. What a shame, Ye Zheng was being dragged down by her parents. Otherwise, why would she have chosen a second marriage? However, her third brother's warnings were still ringing in her ears. She didn't want to meddle in Ye Zheng's affairs and could only watch from the sidelines.
Fortunately, Ge Hong has no children, so there are not as many conflicts as in those combined families. Moreover, Ge Hong is different from Director Zhang. He probably has no attachment to his ex-wife.
It rained lightly on the wedding day, and only a few invited people from the publishing house attended.
Yao Zhizhi finally met Gu Yanni's ex-husband. He was a bit handsome and looked nothing like Ge Rui. Besides, Ge is not an uncommon surname, so it must be just a coincidence.
Yao Zhizhi gave a two-dollar gift and returned home after the banquet. She found Yao Mengmeng there, and standing next to her was the dull and taciturn Yao Ningning. She didn't know if she had been beaten or something, but her face was covered with bruises.
Yao Zhizhi had almost no hesitation. She entered the kitchen and saw that Yao Taotao and Yao Yingying were busy cooking, while Shen Qingwan was concentrating on accompanying the two children in the back room. One was reading and writing, and the other was playing with building blocks seriously.
Seeing her come back, Yao Taotao quickly handed the spatula to Yao Yingying, came out, wiped her hands on her apron, and explained, "Zhizhi, don't be angry. It was Mengmeng who insisted on bringing her here. I just found out about it."
Although Yao Zhizhi disliked Yao Ningning, she had to give Yao Taotao this face. She didn't get angry, but just asked calmly, "What happened?"
