Huang Ming and Zhu Xiaoqiao lay on the edge of the bed, having recovered from their earlier passion, and began to talk about the incident of spreading rumors.
The girl called "Sister Qiao" was Zhu Xiaoqiao; Huang Ming had instructed her to do this on purpose.
Previously, he had sent people to deliberately provoke Yu Gang in order to anger him and make him work for him.
He achieved his goal.
However, Yu Gang was eventually arrested, and he was nervous for a long time, fearing that Yu Gang would implicate his people.
After tasting success, he instructed Zhu Xiaoqiao to spread rumors online in an attempt to ruin Jianmian Clothing.
His plan backfired, and he even blamed Zhu Xiaoqiao, thinking she was too careless. How could such a thing be discovered when no one else could see or touch it?
"Who knows? I was in an internet cafe, posting with several accounts, when suddenly my entire network went down, but everyone else was fine."
"Do you think they've already tracked me down?" Zhu Xiaoqiao asked, a little frightened.
Huang Ming looked incredulous: "They're that powerful? They managed to cut off your internet? Luckily you were in an internet cafe. You'd better stay out of it for a while, lest they find something to use against you."
Ultimately, he was a rough, uneducated man who was also old and knew nothing about the internet; he didn't even know that hackers existed.
If Zhu Xiaoqiao logs in with her account again, Han Tao's people will be able to find her by following her IP address.
With these two things going on, more than a month has passed, and Miaomiao has finished her postpartum confinement.
Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye stayed at the hospital for a month, and when Wang Guangming invited them to go to the countryside, they could no longer refuse.
Wang Guangming originally planned to invite the two over and keep a low profile, only calling back Wang Xu, Liu Ying, and others for a get-together. However, local newspaper and television reporters, having heard the news, had already surrounded the hospital, waiting for them to be discharged so they could conduct interviews!
This trip to Shengli Village was destined to be reported in the news.
Lu Wanqing is now one of the richest people in the country, ranking among the top 100 on the Forbes list. She can't keep a low profile even if she wants to!
While at the hospital, due to the tight security measures, they weren't photographed. This time was different; from the moment they arrived at the resort, reporters followed them the entire way, and many people handed them their business cards, wanting to conduct interviews.
When the convoy arrived at Shengli Village, the whole village was in an uproar. At first, no one knew who had come and they were wondering who had such a grand presence, bringing a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles.
When they saw Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye, they cheered.
Wang Guangming called ahead to have people line the streets with flower wreaths to welcome them, creating a lively and festive scene.
The car stopped directly in front of Wang Guangming's two-story building. When Chen Xiangxiu saw Lu Wanqing, she smiled but then tears streamed down her face.
"Wanqing, you're finally back. After all these years, you're still the same, not changed at all, no, you've become even more beautiful."
She pulled Lu Wanqing's hand and led her inside, avoiding the cameras and microphones following them.
Lu Wanqing remained smiling, knowing that she was not used to being surrounded by many reporters, so she asked Lin Ye to deal with them temporarily.
Lin Ye took out a stack of red envelopes and handed them out to the reporters one by one, saying with a smile:
"Everyone, please rent a place nearby and get something to eat. Chairman Lu will be staying here tonight. He has an interview scheduled for tonight, and tomorrow he will go back to the resort to explore. Please do us the favor of letting us have a private get-together."
The reporters received the red envelopes, squeezed them in their hands, and found that even if they didn't have 800 yuan, they would still have some. They were really generous. They quickly put away their filming equipment and put them away with smiles.
Some smaller TV stations and newspapers, knowing they had no chance of getting interviews, simply found places to stay and planned to shoot some more footage the next day to complete their assignments.
The reporter from the provincial television station handed Lin Ye his business card, indicating that he was available whenever needed.
Lin Ye glanced at his business card and smiled slightly: "Contact the station and see if Qiu Shuang can come. If she can't come, then we can do the interview another day."
Qiu Shuang is a well-known program host on the provincial television station, and one of her talk shows has very high ratings.
Unfortunately, reporters who follow their subjects sometimes ask irrelevant questions, wasting their time.
The reporter immediately realized that he wasn't up to the task; he was good at filming, but not at conducting interviews.
After he reported this to the TV station, the station's leaders immediately made a decision to have Qiu Shuang put aside his work and come to Shengli Village to interview Lu Wanqing.
At this moment, Chen Xiangxiu pulled Lu Wanqing aside to chat, telling her about the changes in their hometown.
"Do you remember the courtyard where you used to live? With your consent, the village built a new building next to it as the office of the village committee. Your house was cleaned up and turned into the memorial hall of the richest man, which is open to tourists. The entrance fee is five yuan."
Chen Xiangxiu specifically mentioned that house.
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanqing joked, "So now if I want to go in for a visit, do I have to pay for a ticket?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Just as they were chatting, Wang Guangming led some acquaintances from the village in through the back door, and greeted Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye one by one.
When people talk about the past, they all express their gratitude to the two of them for their contributions to the village.
After several groups of people arrived, Wang Xu and Liu Ying returned with a five- or six-year-old child.
"Quickly call her Aunt Qing." The child was a girl, a little shy, and spoke in a soft voice.
Wang Xu has transformed from a boy into a robust middle-aged man, and he probably goes to the construction site every day; his skin is rather dark.
Liu Ying has also gained weight; the pretty girl who used to wear skirts has become a chubby-faced older sister-in-law.
The child they brought was their third child; the first two were already teenagers and were attending school in the county town.
"Studying is still the best. I regret it now. I didn't repeat a year to take the college entrance exam."
Look at Chunlei, he's now a high-ranking government official, and Xiaocui has settled down in Gangcheng. Not to mention you two, you're the richest people in our province, ranking among the top in the whole country..."
It's clear that Wang Xu is a little envious of everyone.
Liu Ying laughed heartily, without as much resentment as him, and nudged him, saying:
“Don’t let people laugh at us. Our lives are much better now. The food and housing in the county town and the city are about the same. Besides, we can have more children. In the city, if you want to have a second child, you not only get fined, but you also lose your job.”
“Yes, yes, each has its own merits,” Wang Xu agreed.
The two sat down and began chatting with everyone.
Lu Wanqing felt as if she had returned to twenty years ago, to the days when everyone sat under the shade of a tree and chatted idly.
As evening approached, the aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen. The smell of farm-style firewood cooking, which they hadn't experienced in years, immediately whetted the appetites of Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye.
How long has it been since you last ate rice cooked with firewood?
They felt that Liu Ying was right. No matter how much money a person earns, it's still just about three meals a day, sleeping in a bed, and having a loved one by their side. Too much material wealth can't buy true happiness.
Contentment brings happiness.
