When everyone heard Shen Huanxi say this, they all came over.
Wu Xinsheng was anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to go back. Shen Huanxi was really too weird. Who knew that if he confronted Shen Huanxi, she would be able to say something.
"He's just not good at that. He has no fertility and no doctor can cure him. And his mother has already discussed with him that if a woman can't get pregnant after marrying him, he will put the blame on the woman. This matter has spread among the matchmakers. Do you think there is any matchmaker willing to do such a wicked thing to arrange a marriage for him?"
Shen Huanxi was just talking nonsense. She had no idea why Wu Xinsheng didn't get married. Maybe he was gay, or he had some other disease. Anyway, she didn't know.
She just knew that she was not a good person. Wu Xinsheng had bullied her husband so much that she could not get over it unless she did something immoral.
Seeing her speak so convincingly, everyone who came to watch the fun believed her. Those who had daughters at home or were unmarried girls themselves were all furious when they heard her.
"Isn't that harming others? He has his own problems, but he wants to push the responsibility onto others! I think he should never get married and stop harming girls!"
"He looks like a decent person and runs such a big business, but I never thought he is such a person."
"Like mother, like son. Pah!"
…
Wu Xinsheng walked away and couldn't hear clearly what everyone was saying about him. He just felt guilty when he saw everyone's angry faces. He always felt that the weird Shen Huanxi must have really told his secret.
When everyone wanted to ask Shen Huanxi something, Shen Huanxi said that she had something else to do, and left first with Xiao Shanhe.
"How do you know all this?" Xiao Shanhe asked when they were almost at the family compound of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
Shen Huanxi smiled.
"It's just a coincidence. The three of them are powerful figures in the business world. They can make a lot of money and are quite famous. Many people know about their affairs." Shen Huanxi explained.
Of course, she knew these things in her previous life.
In her previous life, she became the richest person in Yunnan City. She must have known people in the business circle better than those outside of the circle. Moreover, the experiences of these three people were rather bizarre, which easily left a deep impression on her.
"Really? I don't know."
"You used to only think about your mechanical design, so it's normal that you don't know these things. It's a good thing that you don't know, because it shows that you are focused on your profession and have no distractions. This is what attracts me most about you." Shen Huanxi said softly.
These were what she really thought, and at the same time, she also wanted to use these words to prevent Xiao Shanhe from focusing too much energy on other things.
Of course she was also quite thankful. After all, she didn't know the experiences of every one of those men just now. If she hadn't gotten them all angry and scared away when she mentioned Wu Xinsheng's story, she really wouldn't have known what to say next.
"Your college classmates are really amazing. So many of them have gone into business and made a name for themselves. They all come here to look for projects." Shen Huanxi exclaimed.
It is no wonder that Lan Linxiang looks down on Xiao Shanhe. A woman like Lan Linxiang, who pays attention to the quality of life and pursues luxury, must feel disappointed after comparing Xiao Shanhe with their college classmates.
"Not really. Many of my classmates, like me, have not given up their majors. It's just that those who can come here must have gone into business. Most of my classmates are pretty good."
"I didn't say your classmates are bad. Okay, let's go."
"Wait a moment." Xiao Shanhe saw someone in front and called out to Shen Huanxi.
"What's wrong?"
"When you said Zhang Weiguo was not capable just now, you also mentioned that I was capable... How did you know that I was still capable after my legs were crippled?"
"I..." Shen Huanxi never thought that Xiao Shanhe would ask this question. She felt her face getting hot. She didn't even dare to look at Xiao Shanhe and walked forward.
After walking a few steps, she turned back.
"I said that on purpose to anger Zhang Weiguo. I just made it up. How would I know what you are like?"
"Really?" Xiao Shanhe curled his lips slightly, "If it's just made up, why are you blushing?"
"I..." Shen Huanxi realized then that no matter what she said now, it would only make things more obvious.
When she heard Xiao Shanhe ask this question just now, her first reaction was wrong. It was too easy to arouse suspicion.
Why was she so impatient? Because just now she could have just said it was made up and nothing would have happened, but some small incidents that happened when she was sleeping last night came to her mind.
Last night she slept next to Xiao Shanhe. In a daze, she moved closer to Xiao Shanhe and touched his body...
The first time she was startled, then sobered up and quickly pulled her legs away from him. The next few times, she was so sleepy that she couldn't wake up, so she just lay down, and then she fell into a deep sleep, sleeping until noon, and never woke up again.
Shen Huanxi was deeply impressed by the feeling of that touch, which is why his first reaction was so strong.
Xiao Shanhe looked at her and smiled even more brilliantly.
"You are only 28 years old, still so young. If you really marry an impotent man, your life will be miserable. If that were the case, I would never agree to marry you at the beginning. I am a principled person. The fact that I can agree to you shows that I can do it.
My legs can’t move, but my arms can support my body, so if you need it, I won’t make you too tired. Your rights as a woman have not been deprived by marrying me…”
"Why are you telling me these things in broad daylight!" Shen Huanxi felt her ears were burning. She turned around and ignored Xiao Shanhe, but her heart continued to beat wildly.
"Hurry up and catch up. We are here to do business today, not to chat and gossip. Don't delay our work." Shen Huanxi said seriously, but he couldn't hide the panic in his tone.
She is a little overwhelmed.
In her previous life, she had heard of Xiao Shanhe from Lan Linxiang. Lan Linxiang said that he was taciturn, seldom smiled, and had no fun in life. He was polite yet distant to her. The two of them were not like a couple, but more like roommates living together.
Because she remembered Lan Linxiang's description, Shen Huanxi knew the moment she married Xiao Shanhe that her marriage and her husband would be like those of roommates.
Who could have imagined that such a conversation could happen between two people?
And maybe one day, what Xiao Shanhe said will really come true for the two of them...
Suddenly, images of Xiao Shanhe's beautiful abdominal muscles, strong long legs, and his 1.80-meter-tall, perfect body appeared in Shen Huanxi's mind...
She felt that she needed a faucet to rinse her face.
Fortunately, it was cold in winter, and a breeze blew away some of the heat from Shen Huanxi's face.
They finally arrived at the apartment building where Chen Shuisheng lived.
Xiao Shanhe's wheelchair was designed and made by himself. The wheels can be folded up and replaced with mechanical legs that can climb mountains. Not to mention climbing stairs, climbing mountains is no problem for him.
Shen Huanxi watched his wheelchair deform with surprised eyes, and the two of them went up to Room 202 of Chen Shuisheng's house together.
After knocking on the door a few times, Chen Shuisheng came out and opened it.
When he saw what the two men were holding, he spoke before they could even open their mouths.
"What can you do? Are you trying to give me a gift? What kind of crooked tricks are you using? I'm not the kind of person you think I am! If you want to get the project, you have to rely on your own abilities, don't do these nonsense! I am an honest official and I am worthy of heaven and earth, don't try to pollute me!
Don't blame me for speaking directly. If you guys are doing your job properly and are always thinking about these crooked ways, you won't get far. You might as well quit this business and go home to take a shower and go to bed. The sky and the earth won't allow scum like you to exist! You don't even know how to do business, but you only know how to think of these crooked ideas and shortcuts. I feel ashamed when I see you!"
After Chen Shuisheng spoke a lot to Shen Huanxi and Xiao Shanhe, he slammed the door with a bang, blocking the couple outside.
Although Shen Huanxi was a little surprised, he was not shocked.
"Let's go." The couple looked at each other, said in unison, and then smiled at each other.
When the two went downstairs, they met many people. Some of them were the big bosses that Shen Huanxi met when he went to see the tender notice that day. Some people came up to greet Shen Huanxi.
"Aren't you the boss Shen? We met on the bulletin board the other day. You are here to see Director Chen. This is the corridor of Director Chen's house."
"Are you really interested in that auspicious quarry?" asked another boss.
Shen Huanxi looked at them and found that many of them were holding gifts such as cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, and some were even holding potted plants.
Who would give a potted plant as a gift? You don't even have to think about it to know that there must be something hidden inside the potted plant. Maybe the things hidden inside are more valuable than cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.
In an era when backdoors are prevalent and hard to prevent, such scenes are not surprising. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a crackdown every two or three days. If the crackdown is effective, or if it has no lasting effect, why would it be necessary?
To put it bluntly, this is an era of favors. If you don't know how to use favors, there are many people who will.
Shen Huanxi didn't really want to pay attention to those who came over to greet her and just nodded politely, but these people didn't come up to chat with her.
"I suggest you give up on that project. Everyone thinks that it is a good project, but not many people bid for it. If you think about it, you will know the reason."
"Then your gift has not been given away. Director Chen is the easiest to deal with. As long as you have enough money, there is nothing he can't do. He has made a lot of money from this income over the years. What reason does he have to reject you? It's obvious that he is leaving this project for someone else."
"You should know if you ask around. The boss of the Luobo Canning Factory and Director Chen are childhood friends. They have a very close relationship. He is refusing to accept the gift now to leave room for Luobo."
…
"I understand. Thank you." Shen Huanxi listened to what the bosses said and thanked them as a token of his appreciation.
Seeing that she didn't express dissatisfaction or get angry, everyone stopped chasing after her.
Shen Huanxi and Xiao Shanhe walked for a long time before she spoke.
"It's Chen Shuisheng, the gambler, whore, prostitute, and corrupt man I told you about."
"Hmm?" Xiao Shanhe looked at Shen Huanxi. "Didn't you say that you heard about him from the villagers? How come you were sure it was him after just one look at him today? Did the villagers describe his appearance?"
"Ah..." Shen Huanxi realized that she had spoken too fast. She had seen Chen Shuisheng's appearance in the newspaper. "There were some descriptions of him being quite thin, bald, with thick lips and a slightly protruding mouth. That's what he looked like."
"Well, actually no matter who it is, they can't stand being checked so many times. As long as they accept gifts, they can find something."
"Let's go back first." Shen Huanxi didn't say anything more.
She understood what Xiao Shanhe said. No one can withstand investigation, so the things found out may not be useful. If everyone is dirty, then being dirty becomes normal. How can it be used as a weapon?
So in the end, Shen Huanxi decided to start with Zheng Caixia.
"Why do you have two packs of cigarettes in your hand? Did you buy them?" Shen Huanxi just noticed.
"I borrowed it from a friend, so I'll keep it for now. I don't know if we can buy it before New Year's Day, and I can't say if I'll have the chance to use it. I'll keep it for now and decide after New Year's Day."
"Um."
As soon as I got home, I saw Zhao Mingyue coming.
"Mingyue, long time no see. How is your aunt?" Shen Huanxi went up to greet her.
"She's much better now. She really likes the sea buckthorn juice you sent her. It seems to really help to improve her immunity."
"As long as she likes it, you can come in first. The house is a little messy right now. My factory has not been built yet, so everyone is making juice at my house temporarily. I'm really sorry. I've been too busy recently and haven't visited my aunt much."
"It's too polite for you to say that. Who doesn't have their own things to do? I know that you care about my mom, and you do a good job, auntie!" Zhao Mingyue and Shen Huanxi were talking halfway when they saw Zhang Guifen busy in the yard.
Zhang Guifen stood up.
"Oh, Mingyue, you're here to play. Why didn't you tell me in advance? I haven't prepared anything. Come in, I'll pour you a glass of water." Zhang Guifen said as she wiped her hands.
Shen Huanxi hurriedly told her to stop greeting him.
"Mom, you go about your business. Mingyue came to chat with me, so I'll just chat with her. Shanhe, Mingyue and I will go to the study room first." Shen Huanxi did not forget to turn around and say something to Xiao Shanhe.
Xiao Shanhe nodded: "Is there a pot of hot water next to the bookshelf? It was just boiled this morning and is still hot. The teacups on the table have just been washed."
"OK."
…
Shen Huanxi and Zhao Mingyue entered the room and sat down at the desk.
"Mingyue, how come you have time to come to see me today?"
"I heard that some travel agencies in the provincial capital have opened some new tourism businesses, group tours. We have established diplomatic relations with the United States for many years, but individuals are still not allowed to travel to the United States. You can only travel in a group. The price was quite high a few years ago, but it has dropped a lot now. I asked about it. It is said that the travel agency has connections. The price for Comrade Xiao who wants to go abroad for medical treatment is much lower than before.
I heard that there is a person who had sequelae of polio, he is almost 40 years old, and he asked the travel agency to help him go to the United States some time ago, and he spent 200,000 yuan to be cured. Before, he couldn't even stand up straight and couldn't support himself after walking a few steps, but now he can walk briskly. Why don't you go to the provincial capital to ask when you have time? Here is the address of the travel agency. "Zhao Mingyue said, and took out a notebook, tore off a page, and handed it to Shen Huanxi.
"In recent years, various policies have been changing. Now you can still go out for medical treatment, but in a few years, you don't know if you can still do so, so you have to seize the time."
"Okay, thank you." He just happily put the paper away carefully.
Before, Zhao Mingyue only told her that she could send Xiao Shanhe abroad for treatment, but did not give her such detailed contact information.
"How is your money prepared? How about I lend it to you first? If you need it."
"When I have time, I will go to this travel agency in the provincial capital to ask. If I still need money, I will borrow from you." Shen Huanxi was not as polite to Zhao Mingyue as he was to Jiang Xiaomei.
On the one hand, she has a better relationship with Zhao Mingyue, and on the other hand, it is because Zhao Mingyue earns all her money by herself, while Jiang Xiaomei's money mostly comes from Luo Bo.
"How is your business going now? I see people drinking your sea buckthorn juice everywhere in the streets and alleys. There are more people drinking soy milk than before. They all say it tastes good. We have few vegetables here in the Northwest, and eating meat all the time can easily lead to nutritional imbalance. Your sea buckthorn juice solves this problem. No matter whether you like to drink beverages to satisfy your hunger or for health reasons, everyone can drink your stuff. You must make a lot of money." Zhao Mingyue was very confident in Shen Huanxi.
Shen Huanxi nodded and shook his head.
"It's a good way to make money, but I can't just focus on the market in Yunbei City. I want to bid for a vegetable market to transport the finished products, but I've encountered some difficulties..."
Zhao Mingyue was not an outsider either, so Shen Huanxi told her all the difficulties she was facing. It wasn't just because she wanted to confide in Zhao Mingyue, but she also wanted to hear if Zhao Mingyue had any suggestions. After all, Zhao Mingyue started doing business at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and became a well-known female boss.
After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, Zhao Mingyue's eyes widened slightly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Huanxi asked.
"I do know a little about Chen Shuisheng. To be precise, I don't know him personally, but I have some understanding of the situation in his family. Oh, look at me!" Zhao Mingyue said, and slapped his forehead.
Shen Huanxi quickly grabbed her hand.
"You can just talk, why are you hitting yourself? What did you do?"
"Have you ever heard of the moonlit night?"
"Teahouse? The biggest one on the central street?"
Shen Huanxi knew that the teahouse was one of the first ones to open after the reform and opening up. It was run by the female boss, who managed it very attentively. After several years, it has always been the best-performing teahouse in Yunnan City.
Of course, it is also because he targets a high-end customer group and the prices are relatively expensive, so it is not affordable for ordinary people. Generally, those who can go there to drink tea must have certain economic conditions. In addition, the decoration style and product style there tend to be female, so there are more female customers going there.
"Yes, it's the Mingyue Ye Teahouse on the central street. I also met Chen Shuisheng's wife there, Zhang Baozhu. I heard her complain about her relationship with Chen Shuisheng before, it seems that there are some family conflicts.
One time, he didn't have any change, so he asked me to help him change some. I had the chance to get to know her at that time, but unfortunately, we didn't talk again after I exchanged the change.
What a pity! Who would have thought that you would encounter something like this today? If I had known earlier, I should have made friends with him. It’s all my fault. After so many years in the business world, I actually forgot the saying that more friends mean more paths. "
"How can I blame you? You are not the kind of person who makes friends casually."
"Let's go." Zhao Mingyue suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"Zhang Baozhu is a frequent visitor to Mingyueye, and she goes there almost every day. We might be able to run into her if we go there now. Didn't you just tell me that you and Comrade Xiao have been investigating the affairs of Chen Shuisheng, Shen Yougui, and Director Liao? It would be better to go directly to Zhang Baozhu than to ask anyone else to investigate.
Zhang Baozhu and Chen Shuisheng have a bad relationship and seem to be planning a divorce. She may not help Chen Shuisheng, and no matter who she helps, it is not wrong to know her. "
"Yeah!" Shen Huanxi nodded. She didn't have time to explain so much to Xiao Shanhe. She just told Xiao Shanhe that she was going to have tea with Zhao Mingyue. Xiao Shanhe didn't ask any more questions, and the two women hurried to Mingyueye.
I don’t know if I can meet Li Baozhu today.
