Mao Guangyu and Director Zhou were old acquaintances. They had met at drinking parties many times and had a fairly good relationship. This time, Mao Guangyu asked Director Zhou for help, and Director Zhou agreed without hesitation.
On one side was a colleague with a high-ranking official position, and on the other side was a high school student from a poor family. It wasn't a major case of murder or arson, just plagiarism of a manuscript. Even if it really got out of hand, Director Zhou wouldn't suffer any losses.
Director Zhou didn't even show up, thinking that Zhao Dong could handle the matter. But then he heard on the way that the young master of the Dai family was also there. Director Zhou didn't dare to make a big scene, so he rushed over to salvage his image.
Mao Guangyu sensed something was wrong; Director Zhou's smile was disgusting and completely unlike the Director Zhou he remembered.
"Director Zhou, I've been assaulted, by this man in front of you..."
"Director Mao, this is Comrade Dai!"
Director Zhou didn't respond to Mao Guangyu's words, but smiled and said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding. Comrade Dai is a promising young man, and he would never do anything like fighting. Based on my many years of experience in handling cases, the injury on your forehead looks like you fell and hurt yourself. Director Mao, did you drink before you came? How did you fall like this? Fortunately, Comrade Dai was there. He acted bravely and helped Director Mao, which prevented him from suffering more serious injuries."
Mao Guangyu is a master at lying through his teeth.
But he never expected anyone would dare to use this trick on him.
Mao Guangyu was beaten, but Director Zhou twisted the truth, portraying Dai Donglin's violence as an act of heroism! Mao Guangyu was dumbfounded; only when he felt the pain himself did he realize how unbearable it was.
Who is Dai Donglin that he can turn Director Zhou into his henchman in an instant?
"Director Zhou..."
"Director Mao, be careful when you walk next time, and don't fall again. You can't always run into a good young man like Comrade Dai who is always ready to help others!"
Mao Guangyu didn't want to talk anymore; the wound on his forehead was throbbing painfully. Director Zhou seemed to suddenly not recognize him and directly detained Secretary Zhao.
Secretary Zhao was in a terrible predicament. "Old Mao, look at the mess this has made! Didn't you say she was just a peasant girl? I heard from others that Secretary Zuo made a phone call personally, Deputy Director Luo also intervened, and she has connections in Beijing to protect her. How could I possibly offend her! You've really ruined my life! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to do this."
Mao Guangyu's head was buzzing.
Secretary Zuo? Is it the Secretary Zuo he's thinking of?
Deputy Director Luo? The former deputy director? Wasn't he supposed to be in a vegetative state? Why is he showing up here trying to get attention?
And connections in Beijing? Where did Chu Yu get such connections?
Mao Guangyu spent his entire life scheming and maneuvering, yet he never managed to establish any connections in Beijing. He spent a considerable amount of money on Dai Qinxue, but still couldn't get in touch. But Chu Yu seemed to have a ready-made connection? Was it her boyfriend?
Didn't Zhou Fangchun say that the man was a hoodlum?
If he had known Chu Yu had this connection, he would have treated her like royalty! Why would he have gone out of his way to bully her!
As soon as Mao Guangyu led his men to the back, Zhou Fangchun knew what he was up to. Since Mao Guangyu could handle things, she didn't need to stay in this run-down place. She took Mao Xia with her and prepared to go back for dinner.
Before he could even step out of the gate, he was stopped.
"Zhou Fangchun, right? Someone reported you for abusing your power for personal gain and instigating others to steal manuscripts from publishing houses."
Zhou Fangchun was taken aback. "Comrade, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else? I'm a family member of Director Mao, and I know your director."
"I don't care what your position is, we are just handling this impartially, please cooperate with our investigation."
Zhou Fangchun swallowed hard. It didn't matter if she went in, as long as Mao Guangyu didn't. The couple were of one mind. As long as she didn't expose Mao Guangyu, he would definitely save her from outside.
Zhou Fangchun refused to speak, completely absolving Mao Guangyu of any responsibility.
How could Dai Donglin see her so relaxed?
He had someone deliver a letter to Cao Zhiming.
Zhou Fangchun refused to speak, and Mao Guangyu was quite satisfied with her performance. As long as he could be exonerated, the matter wouldn't be too serious. Zhou Fangchun knew what was important. After Zhou Fangchun was imprisoned for a year or two, he would bring Qiuyun and the child home to meet his parents.
With most of the assets transferred, he used Zhou Fangchun's imprisonment as an excuse to file for divorce, at which point the organization would support his decision.
With a wife who doesn't know what's good for him, everyone would sympathize with him.
He was even willing to put aside his own family for the greater good—what a touching story! Even Mao Guangyu himself was moved.
Song Qingchun and Mao Anping prepared a table full of dishes and held a public banquet at their home, all for the purpose of bringing Zhouzhou back to recognize her family.
If you bring a child home, the neighbors won't gossip; they'll just say it's a relative's child.
Who would have thought this was Mao Guangyu's child?
Once the child has gotten to know his father and grandmother well, they will bring him back. Song Qingchun has figured it out: Zhouzhou is a boy, and he can't recognize someone else as his father. The Mao family's child must be brought back to the Mao family to be raised.
Zhou Fangchun's incident shows she's not a good daughter-in-law, and Mao Xia has made them lose face. If the big one is ruined, they have to learn the small one. As long as they nurture Zhouzhou well, Zhouzhou will definitely grow to be even better than Mao Xia.
This is the true root of the Mao family!
"Mom, I've brought the child back," Mao Guangyu lured the child back with candy as bait. "Good boy, call him grandpa and grandma."
Hello, Grandpa and Grandma.
Uncle Mao gave him a bag of candy and bought him toys. Mom said Uncle Mao was a good person and invited him over for a meal, so Zhouzhou came along.
Song Qingchun never expected the child to be so good-looking.
With round eyes and a high nose, he exudes a cleverness and speaks eloquently. Despite his young age, he is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, which shows that his father, Cao Zhiming, has taught him very well.
