A week later, Xiao Gengwu wore a well-tailored black suit specially designed for him by Yao Yanxin, which made him look even more dashing, attracting the attention of many girls in the audience.
Xiao Gengwu rarely appeared in public before, and many people did not know who he was, let alone whether he was married. Many girls were attracted to him.
Yao Tongjia and He Jiayin sat in the back and saw several girls drooling over Xiao Gengwu. He Jiayin nudged Yao Tongjia with her elbow: "How are you? Jealous?"
Yao Tongjia felt a mix of bitterness and joy. The fact that someone had taken a liking to her forty-year-old man showed that she had good taste.
I really want to gouge out all those people's eyes!
He Jiayin saw Yao Tongjia's eyes and asked, "Don't you really want to gouge their eyes out?"
Yao Tongjia retorted without hesitation: "You're making fun of me, but don't you think about your own husband? Isn't he attracting just as many suitors?"
Yao Tongjia's words made He Jiayin put away her smile. Jun Nanzhu is now considered young and promising, having already become the mayor of Beijing at the age of 40.
In today's open society, many girls are throwing themselves at Jun Nanzhu, but fortunately, Jun Nanzhu has been able to stay true to himself and no one has ever gotten close to him!
What angered He Jiayin was that Jun Nanzhu's secretary dared to have such thoughts. That day, Jun Nanzhu drank quite a bit of alcohol and felt unwell, so he took advantage of his trip to the restroom to call her over to pick him up.
She was lucky that day; she had nothing to do and went home early. She received the call and rushed over immediately. Then, the secretary actually dared to force herself on her.
When she arrived, Jun Nanzhu was holding the door shut with one hand and kicking someone over with the other. However, he had been given too much alcohol and was so unsteady that his kick was barely effective.
The secretary teased, "Mayor, are you flirting with me?"
He Jiayin happened to hear this, so she went over and kicked the person, making him flip over twice. Then she picked him up and carried him away. The next day, when Jun Nanzhu woke up from his drunken stupor, he found himself lying on the ground, feeling weak all over.
He Jiayin directly helped Mayor Jun Nanzhu request two days off, citing illness as the reason. As a result, the dignified mayor knelt on a washboard at home for two days.
His legs were practically worn out from kneeling, but Jun Nanzhu didn't just sit idly by. He immediately fired that secretary, eliminating all those who could come to his side.
There must have been others who wanted to climb the social ladder by becoming mistresses, right? Let their whole families get out of here!
On the surface, no one knew about this, but in reality, even Yao Tongjia knew, which shows how widely the matter had spread. After this incident, all the people around Jun Nanzhu were replaced by men.
He also gave a direct order that if anyone dared to use this tactic again, he would not just eradicate them completely, but would send them to jail to reflect on their actions!
No one dared to question Jun Nanzhu's words. He was ruthless to himself, and even more ruthless to others. He Jiayin, his wife, was also a ruthless person. When Jun Nanzhu returned, he could hardly walk.
The matter was over, but He Jiayin was still very unhappy when Yao Tongjia brought it up. She said she would make Jun Nanzhu kneel on the washboard again when she got home tonight, since the washboard had already been replaced twice!
Jun Nanzhu, who was handling official business, sneezed violently. He felt a chill on his knees. Who had brought up that matter with He Jiayin again?
Whenever anyone mentioned it, He Jiayin would feel uncomfortable and make him kneel on a washboard when he got back. Thinking of this, Jun Nanzhu couldn't help but touch his knees.
Poor knees! He was truly innocent victims! But it was also because his wife cared about him. Thinking of this, Jun Nanzhu could only say to his knees, "I'm sorry you've suffered!"
The awards ceremony has already begun, and those ahead of us are all in lower positions. He Jiayin couldn't help but sigh, "Your husband really cares about you. He's been using his achievements to gain resources for your career!"
Yao Tongjia's head buzzed: "What did you say? He's been using his achievements to get resources from me?"
He Jiayin was even more bewildered than Yao Tongjia: "You don't know?"
"Weren't my resources given to me by you?"
“I gave it to you? At first, I did give you resources, but as you saw, after my father retired, I also went through a difficult period, and I was powerless to help!”
"The resources that followed were all obtained by Xiao Gengwu. At that time, the country was actually going to make his existence public, but he felt that it was okay for him to remain hidden behind the scenes."
"There must be rewards and punishments for merits. Xiao Gengwu didn't want them himself, so let's give them to his family. So he asked for the resources you wanted, and even said that husband and wife are one!"
"But why don't you think about it? Ah Xu and Lele are doing research with Xiao Gengwu, and their fame is now greater than Xiao Gengwu's, even though he is the one who leads the research every time."
"He always gives his research to the country for free, and in return, he gives you resources. He doesn't actually have any research of his own!"
"The most glorious years of his life were the first ten years or so, but he gave you all the glory of those ten years without telling you anything. He's so kind, Tongtong!"
At this point, He Jiayin couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She would definitely give Jun Nanzhu a good beating when she got back tonight!
Jun Nanzhu sneezed again and felt a chill run down his back. Who was plotting against him now? He never expected it to be his dear wife who was feeling resentful!
Yao Tongjia felt a surge of emotion. She truly had no idea that her business had been so successful all these years, and she had always attributed it to national policies.
Later, she also thought that it was because her father had become the commander-in-chief and because of He Jiayin that she had been given the green light all the way. Resources that others could not obtain, she obtained very easily!
It turns out that for the next ten years, Xiao Gengwu was the one protecting and supporting her, giving her the opportunity to thrive in this era of reform and opening up.
She always thought it was all due to her own abilities and the help she received from others. In reality, he had been working hard behind the scenes, and he had been listening to her praises without ever trying to claim credit.
What a foolish man! He's already 40 years old, and he only received his first national award at that age. Although it was a special prize for science and technology, compared to the twenty-somethings on stage now, Xiao Gengwu is considered a late bloomer.
In the scientific community, people who achieve success later in life are not so friendly; they are seen as a waste of resources!
Just then, applause broke out. Yao Tongjia looked up and saw Xiao Gengwu going up to receive the award. After receiving the certificate, Xiao Gengwu looked for Yao Tongjia's location.
Then he smiled and looked at Yao Tongjia, which made Yao Tongjia feel a surge of warmth in her heart, and tears streamed down her cheeks!
