The next morning, Zhang Hongmei got up and saw that there was a foot of snow outside. Suddenly, she became interested and shoveled snow with the bodyguards, and even built a big snowman.
The three of them looked out the window at the happy Zhang Hongmei, and Gu Chuanming snorted and left.
Zhang Xingguo cursed Zhang Shouyi in an annoyed tone.
"Dad, I really don't have that intention."
"Hmph, let me tell you, if Hongmei doesn't want you anymore, I'll go with Hongmei too."
Zhang Shouyi was so angry he didn't know what to do; he now felt like the eternal sinner of his family.
The phone rang, and Zhang Xingguo answered it. It was Yang Yongjian. "Old Zhang, are you coming to my house for lunch today?"
“Okay, I’ll go with Old Gu.”
"Sure, what does Old Gu like to eat?"
"For now, we can just eat light meals."
Zhang Hongmei's face turned red from the cold before she entered the living room.
"Why haven't you gone to work yet?" Zhang Hongmei asked, quite puzzled.
"I'm not going today, I'll stay home with you."
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "No need, I have something to do today."
In the end, Zhang Shouyi still went to work, but he was really unhappy and didn't know how to win back his wife's heart.
A busy workday begins. It's not until noon that I sit down with my teacup and start thinking about what I should do next.
Hearing the commotion outside, he frowned.
Listening closely, I realized it was Wei Tongtong who had come over. This was quite interesting. I had only transferred her up here because I felt like it, and I didn't mean anything by it. But many people probably misunderstood.
This woman, in particular, thinks too much.
Xiao Li knew his family situation best. Because of this woman, his wife almost gave up her job. If something really happened, it would be unfair. But the boss transferred her over, which caused a lot of trouble.
"Leave immediately."
"Comrade Li, I'm here to deliver some documents to the leader," Wei Tongtong said softly, her head down.
"Put it down and leave immediately. This is not a place for you." Xiao Li was truly ruthless.
Wei Tongtong was truly unwilling to give up. She had finally had a chance to get close to the leader, but then she was suddenly demoted. Her life was really difficult; people always fawn over the powerful and bully the weak. This time, she had finally found an opportunity, and she was determined to see the leader.
Zhang Shouyi heard Wei Tongtong's thoughts and laughed at his own foolishness, wondering why he had such thoughts back then.
I never imagined that after living two lifetimes, I could still make such a mistake? It's been too comfortable.
He put down his teacup and went back to his work.
Seeing Xiao Li's increasingly impatient expression, Wei Tongtong knew she had no chance this time. She reluctantly put down the documents, turned and left, but before she even reached the door, she heard Xiao Li's voice.
"Replace all the security guards today, and whoever let her in should go to the security department."
This is the most severe punishment a bodyguard could receive. The four bodyguards today were terrified; their faces turned pale.
"Also, all of you, remember this: if you're not careful in the future, I'll show you what's what."
All the secretaries in the secretariat were startled. They had never seen Xiao Li like this before. They were all wondering what was going on. The leader had never had a female secretary before. Suddenly, one was appointed. Everyone thought she would be a competitor. Unexpectedly, she was demoted in less than a month.
Xiao Li snorted, and everyone immediately focused on their work.
Four bodyguards arrived quickly; the four on duty today had gone to the security department.
All four of them felt utterly hopeless, but they knew they had to confess their true feelings, or else a lifetime of nightmares awaited them.
After Zhang Shouyi left, Zhang Hongmei went to the study, but saw two elderly people in the living room. "Grandpa, Dad, what's going on?"
"It's okay, we won't be eating at home for lunch."
"Yes, the snow is too deep today, so it's best not to go out."
"It's okay, it's just in the compound, at my former comrade's house for dinner."
"Hongmei, actually we're going to meet a girl today." Gu Chuanming suddenly spoke up, thinking it would be better to tell Hongmei first, otherwise it would be a bit awkward to tell her later.
"A girl?"
"Here's the thing, my comrade has a granddaughter who is sixteen years old this year. She was admitted to the Capital University from her hometown. My comrade wants to introduce his granddaughter to Zhenye. We sent someone to investigate last week. According to the report, there is nothing to criticize about this child. So we discussed going to take a look first. If it's okay, we'll let you meet her."
Zhang Hongmei frowned, swallowing back the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue. Yes, Zhenye and the others were all eighteen years old. It was perfectly acceptable for them to find girlfriends now.
"Grandpa, Dad, this requires Zhang Shouyi's consent."
Zhenye's wife is no different from others, but if you two are interested, I want to meet her. If she can't even pass my test, then there's no point in telling their father about this."
Gu Chuanming nodded, "We know that, don't worry."
At 10:30, the two elderly people walked to Yang Yongjian's house. Chengzi was very worried and wanted Gu Chuanming to use a wheelchair, but he was scolded.
Song Junsheng obediently followed behind Zhang Xingguo; he didn't have Chengzi's courage, but he was extremely cautious.
Yang Yongjian personally opened the door to welcome the two. He knew Gu Chuanming; this was his old superior.
"Mr. Gu, welcome, welcome." He warmly invited the two in.
"Old Chief, I don't know your taste. Old Zhang told me that you two prefer light flavors, so today we're serving some local specialties: flatbread with cabbage and fermented black beans, and millet porridge. Please don't find them offensive."
"Hehe, no, no."
When guests arrived at her home, Yang Lijun took off her apron and came out of the kitchen, where she saw two elderly people.
“Lijun, come here. This is Grandpa’s old comrade-in-arms. You can call him Grandpa Zhang. This is Grandpa’s old commander. You can call him Great-Grandpa.”
Yang Lijun greeted everyone with a gentle smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo exchanged a glance, both having a good first impression of the girl.
Both of them agreed with smiles. They seemed quite pleased with the child.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa, I'm going to the kitchen now. Dinner will be ready in half an hour."
"Go ahead, but don't overcook the porridge."
"Grandpa, you're getting old and your appetite isn't good. Soft and easily digestible food is better."
Yang Lijun finished speaking and left with a smile. In her heart, however, she was thinking that she herself had never heard of this person in her past life.
Back in the kitchen, I focused on preparing lunch, with the nanny helping me.
