"No, no, I absolutely didn't mean that."
"Okay, Public Security Comrade, I understand. I just happened to see that comrade's painting in the newspaper one day, and I became interested. I want to invite her to our steel mill's publicity department. After all, she's a talented person. As the deputy director, I have the responsibility and obligation to recruit talented and educated people to join our steel mill."
"The other party has a special status. If you want to invite him over, you need to contact someone at the military district."
"Okay, okay."
After Wu Xingliang sent the public security comrades away, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He really didn't expect that he would be discovered and warned by the other party just as he was about to start investigating something.
never mind.
It’s just Lu Qinghe.
Besides, he was just a little curious about Lu Qinghe's transformation. As for other ideas, they were far less important to Wu Xingliang than his career.
With a career, he can have any woman he wants.
As for children, that is something women need to worry about. Besides, he is still young and has a long life ahead of him. If Zheng Miaoran can't have one, there are plenty of others.

After having Zhao Ran, Lu Qinghe had almost no time to paint, especially in the first year after his birth. Even with Xue Lanhua's help, there were other children in the family who needed to be taken care of.
After discussing with Director Wang, Lu Qinghe's serialization should be once a month, continuing until the end of the year. After Zhao Ran was weaned from breastfeeding, she began to slowly resume work.
Twenty-three years ago, Zhao Zimo returned home holding the provincial championship trophy.
"What an amazing trophy, is it made of gold?"
A few children went out to play, and when they saw Zhao Zimo coming back, they excitedly surrounded him.
Zhao Zirui touched the corner of the trophy and said, "If it were gold, we would have made a fortune!"
Zhao Zimo laughed out loud: "Of course not, but the trophy means something different. This is my first championship!"
"Mixed doubles provincial championship."
Lu Yang read the words on it, "It's mixed doubles. Brother, you're not playing with that girl behind you, are you? What's her name?"
"Ji Rong."
Zhao Zimo rubbed his head and said, "She's really talented and even won the women's championship. I'm just a little short in singles. I'll try to get both first places next year!"
"With this ambition, you will definitely have a chance to succeed." Lu Qinghe walked out holding Zhao Ran who had just woken up, and encouraged Zhao Zimo while looking at his trophy.
Zhao Zimo chuckled, turned his head and immediately locked his gaze on Zhao Ran.
"Can I, can I hug you?!"
"for you."
When Zhao Ran was born, Zhao Zimo was out of town and didn't come back. He came back twice in the middle. Every time he saw Zhao Ran, he was so excited as if he had seen a treasure.
"Brother, be careful."
"That's right, Ranran is very well behaved, don't scare her."
The children in the family all liked this little sister who rarely cried, especially Lu Yao, who followed beside her and was extremely nervous.
But even though they had never met each other before, Zhao Ran was not shy when he saw Zhao Zimo.
Zhao Zimo carefully held the little boy in his arms and looked at him again and again. "Ranran, I'm your brother, you call me brother. When you grow up, don't be naughty like them."
"Ranran, don't listen to his nonsense. Sister loves you the most, and he is the one who is causing trouble."
Several children gathered around the little dumpling and talked a lot.
It was not known whether Zhao Ran was brave or rough-headed, but he calmly looked at the mouths of several people and spit out bubbles from time to time to respond to them, which made the children extremely happy.
"Sister-in-law Lu, there's a lesbian named Liu looking for you."
It’s Liu Yanru.
After Lu Qinghe guessed it, he said a few words and hurried out.
"Qinghe!"
Liu Yanru was quite happy when she just met Lu Qinghe, but after a few greetings, she looked embarrassed and hesitated.
Lu Qinghe: "Just say it if you have something to say. What can't we talk about? Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Liu Yanru shook her head: "No, I made a last-minute decision to come and see you. After noon, we will take a bus back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year. This year, we plan to go back to the county town to celebrate the New Year."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yanru bit her lip and looked at Lu Qinghe with embarrassment and heartache. "I... I don't know if you've noticed, but a few days ago, I saw a report in the newspaper that the deputy director of our Huashi Steel Plant is actually Wu Xingliang."
"I know."
Liu Yanru's eyes widened: "You know?"
Lu Qinghe didn't take it seriously: "Of course, I knew about it a long time ago. We even met once at the beginning of the year."
Liu Yanru was even more surprised. "Then, then did you know that Wu Xingliang had been married for a long time? I asked someone to find out, and it turns out that he was..."
"You cheated on me first, then lied about your broken bones and disability, and tricked me into divorcing you, right?"
Liu Yanru was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, then said cautiously, "Qinghe, I'm telling you this for no other reason. You know, over the years we've been together, no one in Hua City has been closer to me than you. I'm not here to make fun of you or anything, I'm just worried that you're still in the dark."
"I knew it a long time ago."
"You don't care?"
"Why would I bother with a beast?"
“…”
Liu Yanru took a moment to relax, "That's right. Instead of fighting with a beast, it's better to live your own life. Now your life is much better than his."
Lu Qinghe nodded, paused, and then smiled, "But if you want to make me happier, if you go back to your parents' home during the New Year, you can publicize what that beast Wu Xingliang has done."
Liu Yanru immediately understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely exaggerate and spread the news about him, that bastard!"
no sooner said than done.
The New Year hadn't even ended yet, but Liu Yanru had already spread rumors in Dagu Village about Wu Xingliang's infidelity and lies about divorce.
"Bah! What a filthy thing! I'm so unlucky to be a neighbor of hers!"
"He kept saying his son was the deputy factory director, but it turns out he was just lying. People like him will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"
Qian Lamei returned home from the fields and listened to the choreography all the way.
Wu Youmei was so angry that she went home and started crying, "I had someone come to my house to propose marriage, but after all this, I really won't be able to get married!"
Wu Youde and his wife were also in a bad mood.
Because of those things that happened in the early years, Wu Youde had to live in the farm cowshed for more than two years before he was sent home. Now, so many years have passed, and it seems that no one is talking about the Wu family anymore. But after the story of Wu Xingliang spread, the villagers started gossiping about those things again.
Ma Wenli pondered for a moment, "Mom, since my eldest brother is successful now, why don't we just go to Hua City to find him?"
Qian Lamei still sided with her eldest son. Wu Youmei had gone there once a few years ago, but because Zheng Miaoran was there, she was sent back by Wu Xingliang.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Lamei said, "Now that I'm the deputy factory director, I'll have someone write a letter to your eldest brother and ask him again in a few days. This time... just say that I want to go."
Wu Youmei perked up: "Then will our whole family go there?"
"Go." Qian Lamei's hair has already turned white. After years of hard work, her health has been getting worse day by day. She feels that people are pointing fingers at her when she walks on the edge of the field. She really can't live like this anymore.
Qian Lamei gave the order, and Wu Youde wrote a letter to Wu Xingliang that same day.
After receiving the letter, Wu Xingliang didn't even ask Zheng Miaoran, but directly sent an expedited letter back, promising to bring everyone from the Wu family to Hua City.
When the Wu family arrived in a car with lots of bags, Zheng Miaoran was so angry when she saw them that she almost smashed the house to pieces.
"Wu Xingliang! Do you still treat me as your wife? You didn't even inform me when someone came to your house. What do you think of me?"
The living room was filled with people of the Wu family, big and small. Wu Xingliang glanced at Zheng Miaoran indifferently.
"My parents were wronged in the past. I didn't even make it to the seventh day of the funeral. Now, of course I have to repay them. If you don't want to, go back to your parents' home."
"Why?! This is my home. My dad approved this house for me!"
Wu Xingliang laughed, "Miaoran, how could you have forgotten again that it is me, not your father, who is now the deputy director?"
"yes."
Qian Lamei glared at Zheng Miaoran coldly: "Miaoran, we are a family, we should unite and live a good life together. You are making trouble and it will not benefit you."
"you!"
Are you shameless!
Do you Wu family have any shame?
If it weren't for Zheng Miaoran, would Wu Xingliang be where he is today?
But Zheng Miaoran, who knew how powerful Wu Xingliang was, couldn't bring himself to say this.
Although Wu Xingliang has no feelings for her anymore, he is still willing to give her a living allowance every month and pay for his father's hospital expenses for the sake of his reputation.
If she were gone, my quality of life would plummet.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Miaoran swallowed the grievance.
But the whole family lived together, especially Zheng Miaoran who claimed to be a city person, she looked down on those country people no matter how they spoke or acted.
Wu Xingliang is usually not at home, and Zheng Miaoran has quarreled with the Wu family countless times in just half a month.
But there's no point in arguing. After all the arguing, she's the one who suffers.
Afterwards, Wu Xingliang used his position to arrange temporary jobs for all members of the Wu family. It seemed that they were going to settle down in Hua City.

Zhao Zimo was on New Year's leave and had nothing else to do at home. After Xue Lanhua went back to the countryside, he stayed at home to be the new generation of "Dehua" for Lu Qinghe. After the New Year was over, Zhao Ran became closer to Zhao Zimo than to Lu Yao.
This really pissed off Lu Yao. Since school hadn't started yet, she decided not to go out and play. She stayed at home for several days, playing with Zhao Zimo and Zhao Ran every day.
Early that morning, Lu Qinghe wanted to find Wen Xiaohua to ask if there would be any cabbages delivered in the spring, and when she opened the door, she saw Meng Bin.
"Looking for Lu Yang and the others?"
Meng Bin felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Lu Qinghe, then at the yard, and then he was very distressed. "Aunt Lu, before the winter vacation, the teacher asked me to tutor Lu Yao, but she hasn't been seen for a while. School is about to start, and I'm worried that she hasn't finished her winter vacation homework, so I came to ask..."
"Hey hey hey!" Lu Yao heard the noise and ran out without even bothering to put on her shoes.
"Meng Bin, don't talk nonsense, otherwise my mother will think I didn't study hard."
Lu Qinghe crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Who told me yesterday that he had finished his winter vacation homework?"
Lu Yao shrank her neck and immediately became timid.
