After Jia Yue's words got out, although there were still men around her who were openly interested in introducing her to potential partners, no one openly offered to introduce her to anyone or express their feelings anymore.
This finally put her at ease.
Actually, her tenement was not bad in a strict sense. Everyone has their own selfish desires, and there weren't any really bad people. It's just that there were too many people and no privacy. To be honest, she wanted to live in a detached house that was close to her workplace.
Take your time!
With her surroundings becoming quiet, she worked while preparing for her graduation exams. She was good at science and humanities, but the original owner of this body was just an average student, so she only needed to get an average score.
The exams came as scheduled and went smoothly. Not long after the exams, the results came out, she received her graduation certificate, and began to focus on her work.
Meanwhile, Yin Zheng is also getting into the swing of things at work.
However, things weren't going well for him; it wasn't work, but mainly because he encountered a bad romantic prospect.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Yin Zheng's impatience was almost overflowing, but this girl was oblivious to his expression and kept calling him "Brother Yin Zheng".
"...Brother Yin Zheng, I brought you food."
Yin Zheng refused, saying, "I'm going home to eat. You can eat this yourself!"
Upon being rejected, Feng Chunhua stared at him with teary eyes. Actually, she wasn't ugly, but she wasn't particularly beautiful either. He had seen top-tier Yangzhou "slender horses" before, but he could still coldly push them away and then do whatever he wanted. This girl's act of playing the victim made him feel bored.
"Comrade Feng, what do you mean? I didn't bully you. I just didn't eat your food. If you cry like this, people will say this about me. I have no grudge against you. Don't try to harm me."
As he spoke, he looked at her warily.
Feeling hurt by the way her sweetheart was looking at her, Feng Chunhua said, "Brother Yin Zheng, how could you look at me like that? I was just trying to be kind."
Yin Zheng replied dismissively, "I appreciate your kindness, but please take the food back. Your actions have already caused me trouble."
Feng Chunhua cried: "I just like you, Brother Yin Zheng..."
"Stop, Comrade Feng, don't call me Brother Yin Zheng. I don't have a sister with the surname Feng. I don't like you. You should like someone else!"
"How can you not like me? My dad is Feng Jianguo."
Where did this brain-dead idiot come from? Yin Zheng felt that having such a mentally challenged colleague had lowered the overall standard of his workplace.
Feng Jianguo is the deputy director of the committee, and he acts quite arrogantly.
"Comrade Feng, I think there's something wrong with your thinking. Marriage is a matter of freedom, and bureaucracy is unacceptable. If you continue like this, I'll have to report it to the leadership."
Feng Chunhua's face turned pale instantly, and her tears stopped.
Her father was in charge of arresting people with "problematic" thoughts, and he had quite a few enemies. As Feng Jianguo's own daughter, she wasn't stupid enough to be completely naive. If she had any problems with her thinking, she would definitely not have a good ending.
"I was just talking nonsense, Comrade Yin, please don't try to label me."
Yin Zheng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the man finally spoke normally again.
"As long as Comrade Feng doesn't send meals to people randomly anymore, that's fine."
He had no intention of clashing with people like Feng Jianguo. His father's connections were mainly in the military; his eldest and third brothers were both in the military, and his second brother worked within the system, though not in Beijing.
He has many relatives in Beijing.
The family was quite large, mainly centered around the Yin and Liu families, with considerable connections in both the military and political spheres, and they exchanged resources with each other.
He didn't want to cross paths with someone like Feng Jianguo, but he wasn't afraid of him either. So, he completely rejected Feng Chunhua's offer.
Feng Chunhua wasn't completely stupid after all; she left with an angry expression.
Not long after she left, a colleague came up to her and said, "Yin Zheng, you're so lucky! Feng Chunhua's father is Director Feng of the Party Committee."
Yin Zheng glanced at Chu Yong. This man was recommended to university after his act of bravery, and then assigned to a unit. He wasn't from Beijing, and although his family had some influence, it probably didn't extend to Beijing. There were many things he didn't know, such as Yin Zheng's background.
"I have no plans to get married right now, but you, who are three years older than me, should start thinking about your personal life."
"I'll wait for my family to make arrangements, or for my supervisor to introduce me to someone."
He had no connections in Beijing, and marriage was a good way to advance his career. He thought Feng Chunhua was a good candidate, but she didn't like him; she liked his colleague instead.
He came closer, wanting to test the waters.
Yin Zheng's words rekindled his confidence.
Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, Yin Zheng said, "Even a strong woman can be won over by persistent suitors. You have such an upright appearance; good girls will definitely like you."
"Then I'll take your kind words."
Yin Zheng smiled and then went home.
On the other side, Feng Chunhua returned home with a cold face, throwing the lunchbox on the table in anger. The commotion was quite loud. Feng Jianguo quickly asked, "Who upset you again?"
"It's all because of Yin Zheng. It's an honor for him that I've taken a liking to him. Dad, he rejected me, and I even brought you into it. He actually threatened me, saying I have mental problems. Dad, he's bullying me. You need to teach him a lesson right now."
Feng Jianguo frowned: "This is utter nonsense. Do you even know who he is?"
"He does have some ability, but no matter how capable he is, he's still under your supervision."
"I naturally agree that you've taken a liking to Yin Zheng, and I also think he's a good son-in-law candidate. His father is Yin Qiguang, a person with connections to the highest levels. How am I supposed to supervise him? Are you out of your mind?"
Although the current situation is unpredictable, the people in the military are not combative, and even if they were, they are not small fry like him.
There's no need to do this just to vent your anger for your daughter.
Those kinds of families should either be completely wiped out, or they should be thoroughly destroyed, or they'll face retribution!
He's not a good person, but he probably has the ability to climb up the social ladder and avoid harm.
Feng Chunhua's eyes lit up. Originally, she only started pursuing Yin Zheng because she thought he had a promising future and was good-looking. With his family background, he was a good match for her.
"Dad, now that you mention it, I'm even more eager to marry Yin Zheng."
Feng Jianguo shook his head, looking unconvinced: "Didn't you say he rejected you? Let's just forget about it. Don't get involved with Yin Zheng."
Family members know their own situation best. It's true that Feng Jianguo loves his daughter, but he also knows that she's not very smart. He's heard about Yin Zheng's deeds; he's very capable, with excellent organizational skills and political acumen.
A man like that wouldn't even consider his daughter.
“Dad, how could you dampen his spirits like that! Find a chance to get him to drink some wine, and then we'll lie down together. He'll have no choice but to admit it.”
Feng Jianguo was startled by her words and said sternly, "You're being ridiculous again! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Even if Feng Chunhua succeeds in doing this, it probably won't bring her much benefit.
He's a man, he understands men. If someone is forced to marry someone they don't like, nine out of ten people will resent it, especially since he's a man with a good family background and strong abilities.
Even if someone like that reluctantly marries his daughter, his family might not benefit much and could even face retaliation.
He has fought against many people, and he has a clearer understanding of human nature. Some people can be forced, and some cannot. Yin Zheng belongs to the type that cannot be forced.
