At this point, he reached out and accepted the jewelry box. Ning Zhiheng was Huang Xianzheng's trusted and beloved general, and as a junior, it was not easy to refuse his gift, otherwise it would seem too formal.
"Of course, open it and take a look! You'll definitely be satisfied!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile.
Madam Huang gently opened the lid of the jewelry box, and a bright red light flashed past. Madam Huang's eyes widened instantly, and she was speechless for a long time!
This is a round crystal necklace with oval-shaped crystals that are warm and elegant. The large and small circles blend together, making it crystal clear. A large, flawless ruby hangs at the bottom, radiating a pure light. Its crystal-clear red color sparkles and shines brightly in the sunlight!
The perfect combination of the two forms a harmonious whole, showcasing an elegant and noble texture and exuding a captivating charm.
These are top-tier jewels that Ning Zhiheng specially purchased from the best jewelry store in Shanghai. He has a lot of work to do when he returns to headquarters this time, so he needs to make ample preparations. Huang Xianzheng's wife is an important part of this.
Huang Xianzheng also served in the military in his early years. To be honest, his performance in the army was mediocre and he was not outstanding compared with his classmates and comrades. Therefore, his career was not smooth. However, good luck came later and he won the favor of Madam Huang. Madam Huang was the younger sister of Peng Ying, a bigwig of the Kuomintang and an old member of the Tongmenghui. After that, you can imagine what happened. Before long, he rose rapidly in rank and, with the help of Peng Ying, his status in the Baoding Clique rose quickly. In the end, he was selected by the bigwigs to become the spokesperson of the Baoding Clique in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
It can be said that Huang Xianzheng's success today is largely due to the background of his wife. Of course, for an ordinary, unknown military officer to win the favor of a young lady and change his fate to reach the pinnacle of life, he must have both admired and been grateful to his wife. Therefore, it is only natural that he became henpecked. Fortunately, Mrs. Huang is virtuous and sensible, and the couple respects each other and lives a harmonious life.
Ning Zhiheng knew this all along, so he did his homework in advance and spent a lot of money to buy the ruby necklace as a birthday gift for Madam Huang.
Looking at the exquisite ruby necklace, Madam Huang was naturally delighted. However, being from a prominent family, she knew its value and said regretfully, "Zhiheng, this gift is too precious. I'm afraid your director will think I'm being inconsiderate. I really can't accept it!"
Ning Zhiheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam. Giving you this gift will make the Chief even happier than giving him a mountain of gold. The Chief will only say that I am capable, how could he complain about you!"
These words immediately delighted Madam Huang. Ning Zhiheng was right. Huang Xianzheng had always respected and loved his wife. Knowing that the gift had pleased her, he was naturally overjoyed!
"Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you, Zhiheng. To be honest, although this necklace of mine is precious, it can't compare to all those jars and pots you gave him before. Come to think of it, I'm the one who got the short end of the stick, haha!"
At this point, Mrs. Huang couldn't help but smile. This young man never came empty-handed. He was sensible and capable. No wonder her husband always praised him, saying that he was a rare talent in the Baoding system and would surely achieve great things sooner or later!
Just then, the sound of car brakes came from outside the door, and Huang Xianzheng quickly walked in.
Ning Zhiheng quickly stood at attention and said loudly, "Chief, Ning Zhiheng reporting for duty!"
Huang Xianzheng walked briskly, his face beaming. He handed his briefcase to his wife, stepped forward, grabbed Ning Zhiheng's hand, and laughed heartily, "You're finally back safe and sound! You little rascal, you were gone for over a year. Do you know how worried I was about you?"
After saying that, he looked Ning Zhiheng up and down again, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, much more composed than a year ago. He is indeed capable of handling things independently and leading a region. He has the demeanor of a great general!"
Ning Zhiheng could tell that Huang Xianzheng was genuinely happy for his safe return. This bigwig was truly kind-hearted and genuinely cared for him. Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but say gratefully, "I am unworthy of your concern, Director!"
