Chapter 95: Ambition (Part 2) Take good care of it, and we will publish it together later...
The descendants of the Huang family have been living in wealth and splendor for hundreds of years.
The biggest setback was probably when we fled south and a lot of our assets were destroyed by artillery fire.
However, the head of that generation was experienced and strong-willed. They could remain optimistic and proactive even in the downturn, which led to their second fortune after coming to Hong Kong.
So, to be precise, there was a gap in the Huang family's history of wealth.
If future generations can learn from the lessons and be prepared for danger in times of peace, the myth of the wealthy family can naturally be maintained.
Unfortunately, the extravagant and decadent Hong Kong can easily corrupt a person's mind, and depravity seems to be inevitable.
Furthermore, elders who have suffered hardships are always prone to spoiling their children and grandchildren, which has resulted in the three generations since coming to Hong Kong having basically not experienced any setbacks.
It's like a group of tigers, big and small, kept in a zoo. They don't need to hunt or sleep in the open air. When they open their mouths, someone will feed them. When they get tired, they have luxurious homes. Over time, they will naturally lose their wildness.
If you lose your wildness, you will become prey.
Hu Biheng was different. He had been standing outside the zoo. In order to gain the qualification to enter the zoo, he had to flatter, please and hunt hard.
What's more, in order to train him, Huang Laosan had put him in charge of many important matters.
Naturally, his claws are still sharp, and his teeth are sharp.
He also possesses the most priceless treasure - life.
With all the advantages piling up, the only humiliation he suffered was the title of Huang family's son-in-law. Over time, his precarious self-esteem finally erupted, and the surging magma was bound to bring enormous destructive power.
Lu Henian had only been there for a few days when he sensed Hu Biheng's power from the oppressive atmosphere of the Huang family.
He had not met Hu Biheng yet, but he could imagine that the man must have a pair of cunning eyes like Director Hu, and when he smiled, it would make people's hair stand on end.
He will be just like Director Hu, disregarding the law and doing whatever he wants.
Then... in the future, they will definitely be like Director Hu, with monkeys scattering when the tree falls.
Lu Henian really wants to be the giant who shakes the tree, so he naturally needs a decent identity.
Once he has made up for his financial knowledge, understood the ups and downs of Hong Kong's history, and learned the etiquette of the nobility, he will be able to completely make the fake look real. At that time, he will make a grand appearance and give Hu Biheng some surprise, astonishment and horror.
So he accepted Huang Yang's proposal and got married.
Unfortunately, Huang Yang’s sister doesn’t want to, so let’s just get engaged.
Huang Yang couldn't make the decision, so he waited for his father to come back. The family discussed it and finally agreed to the engagement proposal.
From then on, Lu Henian had a new identity - the fiancé of Miss Huang.
Of course, this was not enough. Huang Yang also asked the crew's stylist to tailor-makeup and clothing for Lu Henian.
Lu Henian looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes unfocused, and he felt like it was all a dream.
At this time last year, he was still living alone in a leaky and drafty tenement house.
At this time of the year, he suddenly became the fiancé of a wealthy family's daughter.
Even when I was getting dressed, there was someone to help me.
He was not used to it. He did not want to lose his wildness or become a prey.
He politely pushed the stylist's hand away and buttoned his shirt himself. He was not a three-year-old child.
He will always remember the Huang family's lessons and be a hunter, not a prey.

Qi Changxiao felt that something was wrong with Caibao, but the strip on his head was of normal color.
Generally speaking, as long as you are a normal person and have not done anything extremely evil, your merit and fortune values will be positive.
Professions that tend to involve dedication and sacrifice, such as police, soldiers, and doctors, will have higher merit values.
Correspondingly, the merit values of those people in prison are naturally negative, and the amount of negative merit is basically proportional to their sentences.
However, fortune value is quite personal and it is difficult to generalize.
Just like even the most heinous villains sometimes have their moments of good fortune, before their retribution comes in this life, they may even continue to have good luck.
Good people can also suffer from bad luck and even get their teeth stuck when drinking cold water.
However, these are extreme exceptions. Most people live an ordinary life, occasionally having bad luck, and occasionally having some small surprises and accidents, so the fortune value will fluctuate around a lower value.
This value is generally positive, after all, no one is unlucky every day.
But something was not right with Caibao. Although his merits and fortune were both positive, his fortune value plummeted the moment Xiao Zhao appeared, approaching the dividing point - 0.
Correspondingly, the color suddenly changes from slightly bright to dark.
Qi Changxiao suspected that Caibao would be instigated by Xiao Zhao to do something bad, but he had no idea what exactly.
Moreover, the slum was already home to a group of unemployed vagrants, and gambling was commonplace, so the bad things Qi Changxiao imagined were still these old tricks.
However, the question is, if it was something bad like gambling, why would Caibao follow him?
Besides, isn't it working hours now? Are Cai Bao's office and Xiao Zhao's proofreading team so idle? Could they even come out and take Cai Bao to grab fish?
Weird, so weird!
After returning to the publishing house, Qi Changxiao made a special trip to the editorial department.
It's not too busy at the moment, and the employees are all relaxed. Some are chatting in the tea room, while others are daydreaming at their desks.
Seeing him coming, everyone greeted him politely.
It seems that it’s no big deal if Xiao Zhao sneaks out.
Qi Changxiao politely responded to everyone's greetings and knocked on the office door.
Yao Zhizhi is being lazy. The weather has been hot recently, and even if she takes a nap, she still feels sleepy in the afternoon.
The electric fan whirred, but it didn't bring much coolness, nor did it take away any sleepiness.
Hearing the knock on the door, Yao Zhizhi, who was controlled by sleepiness, suddenly raised her head, perked up, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Come in!"
Qi Changxiao came in, closed the door, and sat down quietly in front of his wife.
What's the point of covering her mouth? Can't he see that she is dozing off?
Hey, even as the editor-in-chief, he still remembers to pay attention to his image in the company.
Qi Changxiao smiled and pinched her earlobe. That soft little piece of flesh was really fun to feel.
Yao Zhizhi stared at him angrily and fought back!
His earlobes are also very soft and easy to pinch!
The couple smiled at each other like two fools.
Having squeezed enough, Yao Zhizhi let go and asked him with her chin in her hand, "What's the matter?"
Qi Changxiao smiled and talked about the strange things that happened on the road.
Yao Zhizhi remembered the information Xiao Song had obtained and quickly exchanged views with Qi Changxiao.
The couple came to a unanimous conclusion—there was something wrong with this Xiao Zhao.
Yao Zhizhi took a sip of boiled water suspiciously. "Could he be a relative of Lü Yuan or Director Zhang, out to get revenge on me? Caibao knows him well and knows his intentions, so he warned you? Xiao Zhao was worried, so he followed Caibao?"
"That makes sense." Qi Changxiao was going to have Zhang Wang keep an eye on him. Since Zhang Wang wasn't working anyway, if he wanted him to focus on his work, all he had to do was make him a fantastic slingshot. He quickly suggested, "Make me another slingshot. I need it. Make it about the same size as the last one."
Yao Zhizhi was very generous. It wasn't a treasure. "Just take the one I had last time. I'll make another one if I need it."
Qi Changxiao smiled. His wife was so nice. Okay, go back to the art department to work, otherwise, after a while, those gossipers outside would start to think too much.
Standing up, he leaned forward across the desk.
A gentle kiss landed on Yao Zhizhi's forehead. She smiled and raised her head, rubbing the man's cheek: "Go quickly, we'll talk about it when you get back."
"Okay." Qi Changxiao went out, and sure enough, the guys outside were looking at him excitedly.
What are they thinking? They are both serious people, very serious!
After Qi Changxiao left, Zhou Juan started gossiping with her colleague Zhang Datong from the proofreading group: "Do these two often date in the office?"
Zhang Datong looked at Zhou Juan in surprise: "No, why do you ask?"
Zhou Juan smiled. She was just trying to make conversation and appear more sociable.
It's easiest to resonate with others when discussing the leader's gossip. You don't understand that? You're so stupid.
Zhou Juan turned around and started discussing it with Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang rolled his eyes and said, "What do you care?"
Well, she was humiliated again. Zhou Juan was speechless. She couldn’t even find anyone to chat with about gossip.
When she got off work, Xiao Song came over and warned her, "Pay attention to your work attitude. No more gossip about Editor-in-Chief Yao."
Zhou Juan was depressed. When she got home, she complained to Xu Wei, "What's wrong with that group of people? I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere."
Xu Wei frowned and looked at Zhou Juan in surprise.
I really didn't realize that his wife is a bit stupid.
I quickly reminded him, "That's where you're wrong. How is this any different from spreading rumors and slander? What if people think you're dating when you talk about work together? This is a serious interpersonal mishap! Don't do this again."
Zhou Juan is unhappy, is it really that serious?
The next day at work, she was still in a bad mood, and Zhang Datong stayed away from her to protect himself.
At 10:30 in the morning, Yao Zhizhi finished her work and asked Xiao Song to come in.
Xiao Song closed the door and sat down with a smile: "Editor Yao, what's going on?"
"Is that Xiao Zhao related to Lü Yuan and Director Zhang?" Yao Zhizhi was still thinking about what Qi Changxiao had said. Xiao Song was too busy yesterday, so she didn't ask.
Xiao Song shook his head in surprise. "No. Director Zhang doesn't have any relatives with the surname Zhao, and Lv Yuan married into the family from Weicheng. At least I haven't heard of any relationship between the two families. But..." Xiao Song pondered for a moment and remembered something. "Uncle Zhao, the gatekeeper, has a son who is the director of the sugar factory. Maybe he knows Director Zhang?"
It's possible. They are both factory directors. If there is any production meeting in the city, they will attend together.
Yao Zhizhi thought this was a good idea, so she asked Xiao Song to keep an eye on it.
She didn't like asking for help for nothing, so she took out the freckle cream she had prepared in advance and said, "Don't ask where you bought it, it works on freckles. Try it."
Xiao Song subconsciously touched the freckles on his face and excitedly took the shell from Yao Zhizhi's hand: "Editor Yao, you are so kind! I hate freckles on my face!"
"If you keep using it, you will get a surprise." This is the reward for signing in to the system. It does not have a trademark. Yao Zhizhi has tried it. The two scars on her legs where the fragments were stuck were a little red, but they have faded after using it for a few days. It's very good.
Try looking back at the scar on your shoulder, there will be more of it in the future anyway.
Xiao Song was very happy and went out happily.
After get off work, Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Song is so easy to satisfy. He's so happy that he wants to fly before he even sees any results."
Qi Changxiao nodded seriously: "She and Xiao Jiang are both very good. Get along well with each other and make the publishing house bigger and stronger together in the future!"
"Grow bigger and stronger!" Yao Zhizhi is full of passion!
After lunch, Qi Changxiao went out to look for Zhang Wang while she was taking a nap while breastfeeding her baby.
Zhang Wang was so excited when he got the slingshot that he couldn't help asking, "Tell me quickly, who is this slingshot expert? I want to have a competition with him."
Qi Changxiao smiled but said nothing.
Zhang Wang suddenly had an idea, remembering the gossip at the woolen mill. He slapped his forehead and asked, "Did your wife do it?"
Qi Changxiao smiled and sat down: "It's okay, not too stupid."
"Hey!" Zhang Wang quickly picked up a few stones and tried it out. It really worked! Turning around, he asked, "You didn't come to me just to give me a slingshot in the middle of the day, did you?"
"Help me keep an eye on these two people. If you do well, when the opportunity arises, I'll help you open a detective agency and make a lot of money." Qi Changxiao painted a big picture for him. "Catch adulterers and keep an eye on criminals. Maybe you can even help the police and make a great contribution. Would you consider it?"
"No problem! Leave it to me!" Zhang Wang was content with the slingshot, and as for the detective agency, it sounded pretty cool too.
He is looking forward to it!
Qi Changxiao gave him thirty yuan: "It's a hard work fee, you're welcome."
Zhang Wang did not refuse. He wrote down the addresses of Wen Caibao and Xiao Zhao and went there in the afternoon.
There is no discovery for the time being, don't worry, just follow it slowly.
After dinner in the evening, the Wu family at the woolen mill started to make noise again.
This time it was Wu San's new news. Yao Zhizhi was just looking for revenge on Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, so she went over to take a look.
It turned out that Wu San didn't listen to the advice and still kept in touch with the kid from the Ding family. He didn't come back the whole night yesterday and he hasn't been seen all day today. Now, while everyone is busy taking a shower after dinner, he wants to come back and steal the household registration book.
Caught red-handed by Old Lady Wang, the mother and daughter started arguing. In desperation, Wu San threatened Old Lady Wang that if she didn't let her go, she would expose the scandal of her uncle's family!
Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that she took a kitchen knife and chased her, wanting to kill her.
Fortunately, Tang Fengyuan responded to the call in time, otherwise blood would have been shed.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Wang was sitting on the ground crying, wondering why she had given birth to such a bad boy. She was no better than a cat or a dog!
Wu San was held down by her two younger brothers and wouldn't be allowed to leave. She was crying, wondering how she could have such a mother!
She is being treated as a tool to fight against her second sister-in-law, and is not allowed to pursue her own happiness. She won't live like that!
As for the scandal involving her uncle's family, Yao Zhizhi glanced at the system. It hadn't been displayed yet. It would only be displayed after seeing or getting close to the person involved, even if it was just a photo.
Just when I was regretting that I might not be able to get the melon of this scandal today, someone from the Wang family came. Maybe they received the news and were afraid that Wu Sangou would not be able to get the answer.
The system instantly became excited: "Big melon alert! Big melon alert! It's called surrogacy, but it's actually using sperm to bear a child! After the birth, they've replaced the child! It's like a cat replacing a prince! Host, go for it!"
