She was angry and ashamed, so she turned and left. She couldn't stay with him anymore; he had led her astray.
This time, Zhang Shouyi didn't chase after her, but watched with a smile as his wife fled in disarray.
I couldn't help but feel happy. This method was right. If I practiced it a few more times, maybe I could really realize my wish sooner.
Didn't expect this method to work? Now I'm glad that my wife has taken in a goddaughter and a godson, which has inadvertently become my wingman.
I turned around and looked at the sea. I felt a sense of complete joy.
Zhang Hongmei did not return to her own room, but instead went to find Cheng Guangxu.
The guy was reading a book when he saw Zhang Hongmei come in, and he was a little surprised.
"Why do you have time to come here instead of spending time with your man?"
"You don't welcome me?"
"How could that be? I'm just wondering! Your man treats us like we're thieves. With that stingy attitude, how could he let you come to see me alone?"
"Cheng Guangxu, you're quite talkative today?" Zhang Hongmei asked Cheng Guangxu with a smile, her eyes narrowed.
"No, no. I just thought of this place." He quickly changed his tune, otherwise he would be the one in trouble later.
Zhang Hongmei sat down. "Cheng Guangxu, how old are you?"
"I'm twenty-four. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly concerned about my age?"
"You should take advantage of this holiday to find a wife quickly; you're not young anymore at twenty-four."
"You make it sound so easy. This isn't like buying cabbage, where you just buy it as soon as you get there. It's like getting married, where you have to take your time to choose."
"Cheng Guangxu, what kind of person are you looking for?"
"No idea? Well, that depends on fate!"
"Yes, it really depends on fate. Do you have a target in mind?"
Cheng Guangxu shook his head. "No."
What kind of wife do you envision for yourself?
"Gentle and virtuous, generous and proper, most importantly kind and sensible, and we can also have common ground."
"The requirements aren't high; there are no requirements regarding appearance?"
“An ordinary woman is fine. If she’s too beautiful, I won’t feel safe with her. There’s an uncle in our village who married the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area, but so what? She still ran off with someone else.”
"That's only a minority, okay? You're worrying too much. But you really need to find someone kind and understanding. Your work hours might be very irregular in the future. It's good if your wife understands that. If she's always nagging you, you'll have a lot of trouble."
"Yes, that's what I think too."
"I think your goal is to get a degree."
"Yes, otherwise, if the couple can't even agree on anything, how will they live for the rest of their lives?"
But I don't want to find someone from the city; I'm afraid they can't handle hardship.
"Hehe, then take your time looking."
"Tch. I thought you were going to introduce me to someone? Turns out you're just messing with me. That's so unfair."
"I don't have many girlfriends. Besides, you know them all. Tell me, which one have you got your eye on? I'll help you put in a good word for her."
Cheng Guangxu really considered it seriously, but finally sighed and said, "I don't think any of them are suitable! But I'll leave the matter of finding a wife to you."
"Hehe, you're looking for a wife, not me."
"Hehe, you can't just watch your best friend stay single, can you?"
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes. "What does this have to do with me?"
“Hongmei, I’m telling you the truth, I’m really tongue-tied and have no chance of finding a wife. If you don’t help me, I’ll really be all alone.”
"I really can't promise you anything, but I'll do my best."
"That's fine then. Hongmei, give me and Cai Peilin 20,000 each, we need it when we go back to our hometown."
"Perfect timing, I was just about to talk to you about money."
"Your five percent stake in the trading company, plus the bonuses you received for designing the games, total 60,000 each over the past two years, plus one percent of all my income, that's 100,000 each. I plan to give it to you when I get back."
Banks in our country now offer very high interest rates; you could live comfortably even if you did absolutely nothing.
“Zhang Hongmei, the three of us have discussed it. We want all five percent of the dividends, but we don’t want a single cent of the one percent you’re offering. That’s a no-brainer. If you consider us friends, then don’t do this.”
Zhang Hongmei thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if you don't want it, then don't."
When you get back, exchange the money for RMB and deposit it in the bank.
“Okay, we’ll take care of it when we get back. After that, I’ll go with Cai Peilin to his house. He has less to do there, so we can go back to my house afterwards. A month should be enough time.”
"Okay, you should bring more money back with you."
Okay. You can read by yourself; I'm going to rest.
Zhang Hongmei wandered into the house. Finding Zhang Shouyi wasn't there, she let out a long sigh. She really didn't know what to do; this guy was becoming increasingly shameless, daring to say anything, no matter how crude.
I really miss that aloof and arrogant person from when I first met him.
I sat down at the table, took out my notebook, and decided I should use this time to write a few more movie scripts.
I would feel embarrassed if I did nothing but get a share of the money.
Zhang Shouyi was afraid that Zhang Hongmei would feel embarrassed, so he went to Zeng Zhongkang. There were many things that his wife would never tell him, especially bad things.
We still need to learn about her experiences from other people.
Zeng Zhongkang was not surprised at all by Zhang Shouyi's arrival. He respectfully invited him to sit down.
"Don't be shy. You should know why I'm here. I need an objective and neutral evaluation, and I need the facts."
"Boss, regarding Zhang Hongmei's life in Country M, there really haven't been any major upheavals. She has Wang Xinyi and Zhao Tiancheng taking care of her, and Huang Meihua and Beth McCann from the First Family as her godparents. She also has two business partners, Carlos McCann and Wyatt Roy. And her goddaughter Annie McCann and godson Daniel Zhang McCann."
Zhang Shouyi found it amusing; Zhang Hongmei had clearly bribed her. The story was presented so vaguely. He should know that he already knew all of this.
"Isn't there anything else?"
"Only when we went to Country Y, there were some close calls but no real danger. Zhang Hongmei herself didn't know this at first, but she was later frightened."
"Oh, so you mean she has a very regular lifestyle, right?"
"Yes! I almost always followed him, and nothing happened."
"Oh. That puts my mind at ease. I was worried she'd be mistreated outside. As her husband, I couldn't be by her side. That's why I came to ask you about her."
Zeng Zhongkang didn't say a word. He just stood there, ramrod straight.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't bother you any longer." Zhang Shouyi said, standing up and leaving. I really didn't want to see his expressionless face.
