Jiang Jingcheng was about to get up for work. Zhou Zi lay lazily on the bed, watching him put on his clothes and tie his tie.
He picked up his watch from the table and put it on.
Zhou Zi took a closer look and asked, "I'll give it to you."
Jiang Jingcheng also looked up and said, "Yes, it was a wedding gift back then."
"Are you still keeping it?" Zhou Zizi put her hands under her head, leaned sideways, and observed Jiang Jingcheng lazily. She looked like a charming little woman, very comfortable, which was not easy to see on the female anchor Zhou Zizi.
"Keep it and wear it as you like." Jiang Jingcheng raised his wrist, and the watch was already on his wrist.
Zhou Zi carefully looked at the watch, a Patek Philippe watch. She had spent tens of thousands on it back then. Tens of thousands was really nothing to her back then, just a drop in the bucket. Now she would not be so willful.
Mainly because my family was rich at that time.
The bankruptcy of the Zhou family was like a watershed, which took away Zhou Zi's willful and arrogant personality and made her low-key and frugal.
Jiang Jingcheng saw Zhou Zi's dazed look and asked, "Where's the ring?"
"What?"
"I gave you this ring when we got married."
"I sold it. When I was in the United States, I was short of money. I had to pay for tuition, rent an apartment, and have children. That ring was worth a lot of money and it almost took me two years to pay for it." Zhou Zi looked up at the ceiling, thinking of those hellish days in the United States.
"I guess you didn't think about anything when you were selling it." Jiang Jingcheng asked again.
"What else can I think about? The economic base determines the superstructure. I was short of money at that time and didn't think about romance. Besides, at that time, you were just an outlet for me to vent my anger." Zhou Zi told the truth.
"What about now?" Jiang Jingcheng asked again.
When asked this by Jiang Jingcheng, Zhou Zi suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Jingcheng sat beside Zhou Zi's bed, staring at her, and Zhou Zi also looked at him.
"I—" Zhou Zi frowned, "Aren't you and Ali pretty close?"
"Yes, it's true." Jiang Jingcheng saw that Zhou Zi was deliberately changing the subject, so he didn't continue asking. He went to work without eating breakfast.
After Jiang Jingcheng left, Zhou Zi's house returned to the deafening silence, which was unbearable.
Zhou Zi is a family member. Occasionally, she discusses business matters with the director, and occasionally talks to Qu Yi about precautions.
Qiao Ke didn't talk to Zhou Zi today. She just cooked the meal and served it in front of Zhou Zi.
This year, the couple had more conflicts than in previous years.
It was all because Jiang Jingcheng came to Fengcheng and disturbed the peace of Fengcheng.
While watching TV in the evening, Zhou Zi saw the news broadcast of the new party secretary's New Year's speech.
The TV station has been broadcasting this a lot recently, and Zhou Zi watches it every time it is broadcast.
Zhou Zi listened carefully, wondering what Grandma Zuo was doing at this moment?
Feng Yulun looked particularly impressive in an iron-gray suit and tie, and his speech also highlighted the reserve and cultivation of an intellectual.
In addition to being the Party Secretary, Feng Lun also served as some kind of provincial representative.
The general is happy, and one step higher is promoted.
Afterwards, Feng Yulun went to Jiangcheng.
Just been there for a few days.
Jiang Jingcheng received a WeChat message from Xue Mingmei, saying that all hospitals in Jiangcheng were open to Zhou Zi.
"The people should not fight against the officials. When the secretary of Fengcheng came to Jiangcheng, the situation in Jiangcheng changed. It can be seen that Zhou Zi has touched the hearts of many men! And she is pregnant." Xue Mingmei said.
Jiang Jingcheng received and read this WeChat message.
He had known about the hospital's affairs for a long time. The last time he went to Jiangcheng, he had already dealt with the matter and asked Ali to come forward to deal with it. If he came forward, Xue Mingmei would definitely make a second move.
It is always better to have less trouble than more.
As for Feng Lun's behavior this time, he was just doing it openly.
But it seems that now that he has become a high-ranking official and has become powerful enough, he has started to take action.
Jiang Jingcheng stroked his chin and thought.
…
Zhou Zi will soon be participating in a program called "Pregnant Mom", which is an online program on the TV station with a relatively small audience.
Zhou Zi was invited to be a guest. After all, it was an internal matter of the station. In addition, Zhou Zi already had fame and prestige, so inviting her to be a guest was also something the station director was willing to do.
The host asked Zhou Zi if her father always accompanied her during prenatal checkups.
Zhou Zi said: Yes.
I just answered "yes" and didn't say anything else.
When I said that, I deliberately suppressed my emotions.
Zhou Zi placed her arms on the armrests of the chair and supported her belly with both hands.
At this time, she is indeed very charming.
Although I have been doing talk shows for a long time and am not unfamiliar with them, this is my first time as a guest.
Zhou Ziyi is very comfortable and frank in conversation, but her facial features give people the impression of being steady and reliable.
Feng Lun also watched this program at work, not on purpose, but because he was looking for something on the computer and the barrage of comments came out automatically, saying that a famous female anchor was a guest on the "Pregnant Mother" program.
He clicked it and kept looking at Zhou Zi.
Her smile was so serene and intellectual. Pregnant women are more sexy, as Zuo Ye once said.
Now, Feng Yulun truly understands it.
He was a man in his early forties, but he watched a program for pregnant women for more than forty minutes, from the beginning to the end of the live broadcast.
There are still 20 minutes for audience questions.
Zhou Zidu answered with a smile.
Feng Lun touched his chin, feeling very nervous. He used his online name: Flying Bird. He also wrote (five months pregnant) in brackets after it, because that's what other mothers usually ask when they ask questions.
This program has a small audience, and most of the viewers are pregnant women.
Everyone can watch the program and find common ground. What brand of rice noodles should you give your children?
Flying Bird asked a rather pointed question: "Ms. Zhou is five months pregnant. Does she still have sex with her husband? What does it feel like?" If you don't feel comfortable answering, forget it.
Zhou Zi blushed when she saw this question.
When the host read the sentence, he also coughed lightly and said, "This question is quite sensitive——"
Zhou Zi thought for a long time and said, "He and I don't live together, so basically, no. It was rare before."
Feng Yulun felt relieved after hearing this answer.
A few days later, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the director said that Secretary Xi Jinping would come to inspect.
Zhou Zi thought: Why are you here again?
The station director saw Zhou Ziyi's doubts and said, "He's in charge of the TV station, so his visits will be a regular occurrence from now on!"
Zhou Zi hoped that she was just worrying too much, but she had a vague feeling that the director was targeting her.
Because Zuo Yu has been in a bad mood recently, if Feng Yulun got promoted, she should have been more arrogant, but she didn't. It can be seen that her relationship with Feng Yulun has been tense recently.
When Feng Yulun came, Zhou Zi was very respectful, and Feng Yulun did not show any abnormality.
After all, the officials were no match for Zeng Jin and were extremely cunning.
The next day, the director announced an event - a lucky draw, with prizes including a NT$30,000 cash prize, a rear-projection projector, modular furniture, a NT$30,000 shopping mall voucher, and an unexpected surprise.
In general, everyone will win a prize and no one will be left out.
It's a blessing.
Someone asked Master: Is this considered a bonus?
The Master replied impatiently: "This is a lottery. Is the prize money so small?"
Asked the person and stuck out his tongue.
After all, the Chinese New Year is almost here. Although the TV station doesn’t take a break during the Chinese New Year, it is a holiday after all, and everyone is itching to go out.
During the lucky draw, the director sent someone with a box for everyone to draw prizes.
Zhou Zi drew number 8.
The Master said the prize draw will be held in the evening.
Zhou Zi felt something was wrong again. Feng Lun had just come yesterday, and the lottery started today. Moreover, Zhou Zi had been wondering what this unexpected surprise was.
Although the prizes are good, Zhou Zi still doesn't want the number 8.
She thought that the director might have known everyone's lottery numbers before deciding the prizes. Otherwise, why didn't he announce the prizes on the spot and had to wait until the afternoon? What was he doing this afternoon?
Other raffles are drawn on the spot.
Zhou Zi felt that it was most likely related to Feng Lun.
She wanted to exchange the prize with Zuo Yu, because only Zuo Yu had an affair with Feng Yulun, so it should be okay to exchange it with her.
Zhou Zi has been sitting in a chair thinking about this matter today. Qu Yi is particularly excited and hopes to win 30,000 yuan in cash so that she can go to the Maldives for a trip.
Qu Yi asked Zhou Zi what she wanted to draw.
"Let's draw a voucher worth 30,000 yuan for the mall. It's very practical." Zhou Zi said.
"Don't you want that unexpected surprise?"
"In no mood."
If this unexpected surprise was related to Feng Lun, Zhou Zi would be extremely unwilling to do so.
Zhou Zi saw Zuo Ye coming out of her office. When she was about to stand in front of her desk, Zhou Zi pretended to drop the ball she was grabbing for a prize. Zuo Ye followed the ball and picked it up from the ground.
She looked at the ball from left to right and said to Zhou Zi, "Ms. Zhou is so lucky! The number 8 is such a lucky number. No wonder Ms. Zhou has been so lucky this year."
Zhou Zi smiled. She had expected Zuo Ye to say that. She guessed that the next thing he would talk about was the ball replacement.
"How about we exchange it? We both have prizes anyway, and there's no question of who's at a disadvantage and who's at an advantage. I'll also use this number 8 to change my luck." Zuo asked.
"You are a higher-ranking official than me. If I disagree, doesn't that mean I disagree with your command? Yeah. Anyway, I don't know what the prize is." Zhou Zi said.
A smile appeared at the corner of Zuo's lips. Then he took the ball No. 8, went to his office, and gave the ball No. 3 to Zhou Zi.
Zhou Zi looked at the small ball No. 3 and thought: I hope I didn't overestimate it.
When it was almost time to get off work, the prize was drawn.
The prizes corresponding to the numbers were announced on the office computer and the large rear projection screen and played in turns.
Everyone was very excited. The director said that the prizes could not be exchanged, which meant that they could not be exchanged with each other during the day.
After winning the prize, few people change it, after all, the prizes are very valuable.
Zhou Zi's prize number three was a shopping voucher worth NT$30,000. She specifically looked at the prize number eight: an unexpected surprise (go to the restaurant on the top of the mountain today, someone will be waiting for you).
Zhou Zi felt a little scared. It turned out that they were targeting her. Moreover, they must have known that she would make a separate list of prizes after the 8th. Fortunately, she changed it early.
Needless to say, the person waiting for him in this mountaintop restaurant was Feng Lun.
After all, I was here just yesterday.
That day, Zhou Zi appeared on the program "Pregnant Mom", and she asked the technical department to check the ID of "Flying Bird".
Because generally no one would ask this kind of question to pregnant mothers. They would only ask about some nutritional issues during pregnancy. Now everyone is fully focused on the child, so who would pay attention to the husband?
It can be seen that this "flying bird" has ulterior motives!
Zuo Ye came out of his office with his winning medal and exchanged it with Zhou Ziye.
Zhou Zi looked at the winning medal number three in her hand. Although she was not very sure, she finally felt at ease after changing it.
The person in charge of the technical department called the internal line and asked Zhou Zi to come over, and Zhou Zi went.
This incident was closely related to Zhou Zi. She pointed to the ID address and said, "Look, the ID is from a member of the Party Committee, and it's that person's hotline! Is he targeting you?"
Zhou Zi patted the man's shoulder and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this."
"Know."
Zhou Zi has always felt uneasy.
After the lottery was announced, Zuo Yu kept staring at the winning card in his hand. It seemed that this lottery was held for Zhou Zi, just to let her meet that person, but Zuo Yu didn't know who this person was.
But Zuo Yu is a curious and adventurous person. Although he suffered a setback from Feng Yulun, this will not change.
The prizes were redeemed before the end of get off work today. Zhou Zi happily took out 30,000 yuan worth of shopping vouchers from the mall and prepared to buy New Year's goods. Although Qu Xiao did not win any travel prizes, it was not bad either. She got a lot of shopping vouchers for cosmetics and clothes. She planned to buy some for herself and exchange the rest for cash with others.
Zuo Mi dressed up very beautifully this afternoon and went to the mountaintop restaurant.
