Maybe he was too happy after the promotion, and received nothing but flattery in that position. Uncle Dai gradually became a little arrogant due to the excessive praise, and was not as careful as before when doing things.
He was brought down because of something that seemed very small to him.
But small matters have far-reaching implications, and if someone is stubborn enough to investigate secretly, they might actually find out some things.
It happened to be a central inspection, and the man was lucky, so the incident was exposed. After a period of investigation and evidence collection, although there were many obstacles, evil was ultimately defeated by good.
The head of the Dai family was also brought down because of this.
Wei Mian calculated it truthfully, but omitted the second half and only stated the first half.
She never said that she would rise to a high position after becoming the provincial party secretary. As for Dai Xingzhou's misunderstanding, it was just his own fault.
The next day, Wei Mian hung the drawn horoscope in the living room for the two Zheng brothers to study.
When Zheng Heng heard Wei Mian say that the other party was a member of the Dai family, he immediately had a candidate in his mind.
"Dai family? That should be Dai Xiangdong."
Zheng Hao raised his head and curled his lips in disdain. "If it's the Dai family, then they really deserve it. I've met a few Dai family members in Beijing before. Their eyes are on the top of their heads. They look down on people when they talk to them. I think I'm already a second-generation rich kid. Compared to them, I'm considered humble."
Zheng Heng glared at Zheng Hao. This kid still knew that he was a second-generation rich kid!
Zheng Hao didn't care about being glared at and leaned back comfortably on the sofa.
"I think those guys are even more arrogant than me. They keep saying that their ancestors are from a famous and prestigious family. Their faces are really disgusting. Later, I asked someone to find out. Guess what happened?"
Zheng Heng didn't say anything, and Wei Mian didn't respond either. The two of them stood in front of the horoscope, seemingly studying it seriously.
Zheng Hao was very unhappy when he saw that both of them ignored him, but these words were stuck in his chest and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't say them, so he could only speak out in anger.
"In fact, the Dai family is not a prominent family at all. Counting back a few generations, not even a few, let's say two. Dai Xiangdong's great-grandfather was just a fisherman in Shandong Province. Later, the family saved some money and sent their son to school, and only then did he have a little success."
"The Dai family started with Dai Xiangdong's grandfather. By the time of Dai Xiangdong's father, the family had grown even stronger, and more relatives came to join them. They started to act like they were from a prominent family, but in reality, they all came from humble beginnings and had to act like they were so powerful!"
Zheng Hao picked up the largest strawberry from the plate next to him and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes with enjoyment.
"Master, come and try some strawberries from my friend's garden. They're guaranteed to be big and sweet!"
Wei Mian took one to try and it tasted really good. He could plant some in the yard next year, but if he did, he would have to plant more to avoid not having enough to eat.
She thought about it and decided that she could actually plant the vegetables directly in the mountains. She could then find a secluded place and set up a decoy, which would make it no different from having an extra vegetable garden at home.
Wei Mian had eaten enough, so after explaining the matter to Niu Jingyi, he went to explain the horoscope to the two brothers.

As their senior year draws closer, many students feel a sense of urgency, fearing that they will not be able to find a good internship.
Although it is easy for top students at Qingping University to find internships, many people in the history department want to find jobs in related majors, which can also help with their graduation thesis.
Therefore, most of the choices are museums, antique appraisal institutions, historical research, archaeology and other aspects.
Feng Jing doesn't need to worry too much about this. She doesn't plan to look for a suitable job. She can get an internship certificate anywhere. As for the topic of her thesis, she already has a goal with the help of Wei Mian.
There are many classmates like her, and some of them have already made arrangements at home. Wei Mian feels that about a quarter of the classmates are anxious.
Miao Shilan is one of them.
Unlike Feng Jing, Miao Shilan wants to find a job in her field, especially to work in a museum.
Seeing that there were many classmates who had the same idea as her and whose professional abilities were no worse than hers, Miao Shilan worked even harder.
That day, Feng Jing wanted to eat the sweet and sour spare ribs made by the cafeteria chef, so she dragged Wei Mian to wait in line for a long time before they could get two servings. When the two of them were holding their plates and looking for a seat, Miao Shilan happened to see them and called them over to sit together.
The three of them talked and ate, and Miao Shilan yawned several times, looking very sleepy.
"I heard from your roommates that you read until midnight every night and get up very early in the morning. Why are you so tired? Lack of sleep every day is bad for your health. The most important thing is that it will age you quickly. You will have wrinkles on your face in no time!"
Feng Jing picked up a piece of pork ribs for Miao Shilan and put one in her mouth too. It tasted so good that she wanted to stamp her feet.
“Woo woo woo, it’s so delicious!”
Miao Shilan hummed, "I don't work every day. There's an exam at the museum in a few days, and I want to give it a try. If I pass, I'll have a guaranteed internship for the second half of the year."
This exam is not a secret, and many people in related majors know about it. If you want to get in, this can be said to be the only chance besides the professor's recommendation.
While listening to them talk, Wei Mian paid some attention to Miao Shilan.
For some reason, there was a faint ghostly aura about her.
However, Miao Shilan didn't look dangerous. Wei Mian guessed that she might have been infected accidentally somewhere, and that the infection would go away after she went out to bask in the sun.
Miao Shilan spit the bone in her mouth onto the napkin next to her and yawned again.
"I don't think it's because of the labor. I've been having these dreams for the past few days. I'm already tired enough from studying all day, so wouldn't I feel sleepy if I didn't sleep well at night?"
"Always dreaming?" Feng Jing couldn't help but look gossipy. "What kind of dream? A erotic dream?"
Before Miao Shilan could answer, Feng Jing made two mocking "tsk tsk" sounds.
"Miao, you've been single for too long, you're missing a man! I heard a sophomore is pursuing you, so hurry up and agree to him. You'll sleep well with a man!"
Feng Jing was acting very enthusiastically. She was obviously still a rookie, but she pretended to be an experienced person, which was so disgusting.
Miao Shilan didn't even glance at her.
"Then, if you're interested, take him away. I don't like that type. I've never seen a man so delicate. I don't think he and I can be lovers, only sisters. I didn't expect his sexual orientation to be quite normal. Why don't you get someone to turn him gay?"
Feng Jing was speechless. It was the first time she heard a man described as delicate. Come to think of it, when she thought about the man's appearance, it seemed quite appropriate.
Miao Shilan raised her eyelids and said, "I've been dreaming about my grandmother who passed away many years ago these past few days. Don't you think it's weird?"
She had clearly forgotten what her grandmother looked like, but she could clearly know in her dreams that this person was her grandmother. The dream was a mess with all kinds of things, and she was always exhausted.
