Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

There are many stages in life. What you want at this stage may not be what you want in the future, and what you want in the future may not be what you want now.

Therefore: People grow, and their thoughts change as their cognition changes.

Those things that we once vowed to insist on and said we would never do, even if it meant making the whole world our enemy, we would still stubbornly say "I don't want to".

As time goes by……

It seems that I am not so disgusted anymore. No, I am actually looking forward to it.

Do you all understand?

That’s right, we are talking about Du Lingling here (not referring to young women who are around the same age as Du Lingling, who are in their 30s or 40s, successful in their careers, single aristocrats, and who insist on being DINKs).

Do you think she ever thought about getting married when she was in her 20s?
No.

You said that when she was in her 20s, did she ever think that when she was in her 30s, she would start a secret love affair with a man who was 10 years younger than her?

Absolutely not.

Do you think that when she was in her 20s, she would have thought about wanting children when she was in her 30s?
No, no, no...

Who is she, Du Lingling?

A woman who has made up her mind to be single all her life and puts it into practice is not necessarily inferior to a man and can also have her own career.

What's more, she can do it very well, better than many, many men.

In order to prove it, and to avoid becoming a tool for family marriage and stay away from gossip, she even did not hesitate to defile herself and pretend to be a lesbian. How much courage does it take?

Men used to avoid her like the plague. If a beautiful woman is too successful in official circles, it is easy for people to label her. But she knows herself well and knows that her beauty can easily lead people to mislead and ignore her talent. So even those male lickers who surround her and try to please her in order to pursue her are considered a burden to her career success by her.

Why pretend to be a lesbian?

Apart from family reasons, I don't want to be forced by my family to marry someone I don't like and become a tool for a wealthy marriage without any emotional connection.

In addition, this is also a reason to scare off those annoying lower body impulsive lickers and get rid of the burden brought by beauty.

But look at it now.

Obviously, she has already achieved success in her career. At the age of less than 40, she has become the party secretary of an important district and county-level unit under the provincial capital city. Her every word and action has affected the livelihoods of tens of millions of people.

With such a bright future, why not pursue it?
Besides, isn't this what she's always wanted?
Why bother with such a small issue as “having a baby”?

I really don't understand.

Yes, even she herself couldn't figure out whether she was still tirelessly pursuing the truths she had believed in before.

"Women are not necessarily inferior to men."

"Without a man, a woman can still be successful in her career."

"Who says women are inferior to men? We are both born human beings, and my brothers can have their own careers, but my daughter can only be a tool for marriage alliances with your wealthy family to support my brothers' careers. I won't do that. I will prove it to you."

"Even great men have said that women hold up half the sky. Dad, Mom, and Third Brother, you are forcing me like this. Are you questioning great men?"

"I won't marry. I swear I will never marry in my life. It's useless for you to force me."

"..."

Those confident statements made back then.

It is still vivid in my mind.

But now that I think about it, it seems a bit hasty.

"Oh no! Why did I mention having a baby to Brother Lu over the phone?"

"Will he... oh, ignore me?"

"This little wolfdog... well, he's not a good person. If I insist on giving birth to a child for him, he... forget it, forget it, I'd better not think about it. Not only does he want a child with me, that's a problem, even if he wants it, I won't give birth to one for him."

"I can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, it will be bad. My future and reputation will be ruined in no time. Unless... I don't plan to do it now and stay away from it. But is it really worth it?"

"Time, time, it passes so quickly... I, I am already 36 this year... Sigh..."

The night when she called Lu Yang, Du Lingling tossed and turned in sleep, and the soft silk quilt was wrinkled all over.

When she woke up the next day, she forced herself to go to the bathroom and wash her face with cold water. Then she looked in the mirror again and found herself to be the workaholic Secretary Du again, a strong woman who believed that women were inferior to men.

In addition to going to the district committee today, Du Lingling also made an appointment with Lao Zhou from CCB at noon to act as a middleman to introduce the branch president of CCB to Jiang Wanli, the general manager of Wanyan Electronics, a company in the district.

This is also her job.

As a district official, isn't it your duty to help the district's leading enterprises and major taxpayers solve their problems?

It's as it should be.

But she also fully understood what her little man meant.

She won't talk much today.

The only real role is to serve as a middleman for the local government to solve problems for local tax-paying enterprises.

To put it simply, it means introducing both parties to sit down and get to know each other. . . .

Just ignore it.

Because if she said one more word, it might mislead the bank manager into thinking that this was what she, the local government leader, meant.

In the end, if something goes wrong, she might be involved.

"Well, Sister Du has understood what I mean and won't interrupt me any more, but considering the size of Wanyan Electronics today, and the fact that all major brands of VCDs are selling very well in the market, the situation is very good. Haha, I guess our CEO Jiang will be very happy to get a loan of 100 million yuan from the bank, even if it's another 200 million yuan."

"What a shame, what a shame. If I were him, I would choose to play it safe."

"Well, let's wait and see."

"Why pile up so much debt? Instead of spending hundreds of millions on advertising, why not spend more money on research and development? If we can get ahead of the big foreign companies and come up with DVD standards? Unfortunately, our CEO Jiang has already suffered a loss once, so he may not be willing to invest in this again this time."

New Century Group President's Office.

Lu Yang was lying on the boss chair, his legs crossed on the desk, twirling a Hero pen rapidly between his fingers, leisurely daydreaming out of boredom, exuding his own not-cheap thinking.

Seriously speaking, he was a little scared by the call from Sister Du last night.

But after being scared, he quickly got over it.

Just give birth to the child. If Sister Du really wants to have a child, it is not unacceptable to have an illegitimate child.

She is a 30-something girl who followed me unconditionally. I am shameless enough in myself. If I restrict her right to have children and become a mother, wouldn't that be even more shameless?

"Well, despite all the talk and the fuss, although I agreed over the phone, Sister Du... shouldn't... be planning to... get pregnant right now, right?"

"No, no, no..."

"Sister Du's current status... She worked hard and finally got to where she is today. I know her ambitions very well, and I have seen her efforts. She shouldn't... do such a stupid thing, right?"

Why add a question mark?

Because men tend to be rational when dealing with things, while women tend to be emotional, especially when it comes to emotional matters, they are particularly prone to getting carried away.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, Lu Yang's melancholy and frustration were interrupted by a rhythmic knock on the door.

Needless to say.

It must be his eldest niece knocking on the door to report to him on her work.

Lu Yang immediately felt a little guilty.

Who told him that he was thinking about that person's aunt in his heart?
They were all thinking about whether or not to have a child with my aunt. So...

"Cough cough!"

Lu Yang put his legs down, sat up straight and straightened his clothes.

Insert the pen in your hand into the pen holder.

He picked up a newspaper on the table that he had gotten from the front desk this morning and pretended to read it.

"Please come in."

Xu Siqi pushed the door open and walked in.

The girl was dressed a little more maturely today, wearing a slim-fitting blazer on the upper body and a five-point hip skirt on the lower body. Her every move was deliberately imitating her aunt. In addition, the two of them looked 60% similar, so Lu Yang saw through the clues at a glance.

"Is something wrong?"

Lu Yang raised his head and moved away from the newspaper, not daring to look any further, his eyes somewhat evasive.

Xu Siqi giggled, holding a folder in her arms, and walked towards him in high heels.

She stretched out two slender fingers and, like tweezers, moved the newspaper away from his eyes.

"Pfft."

"Boss, you got it wrong. You don't have to pretend in front of me. If you have nothing to do, then you have nothing to do. No one dares to control you."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't hold it in any longer and bent over and burst into laughter.

Lu Yang's face flushed red.

Made.

Want to get angry.

But then he thought, there was no one else in the office, so he put on a stern face and said with a scheming face, "Little girl, what do you know? If you keep laughing, I will fire you, do you believe me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the office fell silent, and the laughter stopped.

Like being pinched.

Is there such a thing as the art of language?
Xu Siqi straightened her waist which had just been bent, and tried hard to hold back a smile. She was very glad that she had been receiving professional training in this area recently, and luckily she managed to hold it back this time.

She squeezed her legs tightly together and said, "Boss, I didn't laugh. You heard it wrong."

Look, this is the profession of a secretary.

Lu Yang nodded, and said in a satisfied and serious tone: "Since you didn't laugh, it seems that I really heard it wrong. Tell me, what's the matter?"

I’m warning you, little girl. Don’t mention the incident of me taking the newspaper upside down just now, otherwise you’ll be in trouble. Let’s get down to business and get out of here.

Xu Siqi looked up at the ceiling, trying not to laugh, and gave her stinky boss a pretty eye roll.

Of course, this had to be kept secret.

Otherwise, the nasty boss would only know how to get angry at her lovely secretary.

She turned off the eye roll and swallowed back the laughter that was about to come out of her mouth.

Then look away from the ceiling.

Slowly it fell to the boss...

He nodded and said, "Boss, here is good news. It is really good news. Take a look."

Lu Yang didn't believe there was any good news.

If there was any good news, he would have known it long ago.

So he casually opened the folder handed to him by his eldest niece.

"suspect--"

"What the hell is this?"

He was really surprised by what leaked out of the folder.

It turned out to be a wedding invitation.

No, it’s not a wedding invitation, it’s a gold-embossed invitation.

Xu Siqi bent down and licked her lips, looking at his expression expectantly, then pointed at the words on the card with her slender fingers and said word by word:
"Hehe, Boss, take a look at what's written here: the Hurun Rich List."

This is an authoritative wealth ranking compiled and initiated by Mr. Hurun, focusing on the wealth statistics and rankings of high-net-worth individuals in the mainland since the reform and opening up... We sincerely invite..."

"Boss, I want to do an exclusive interview with you."

And look here, according to the statistics of Mr. Hurun Research Institute... Wow, the ranking is so high, look, it's fifth. This authoritative research institute said that your net worth exceeds 25 billion, is this true?"

As she spoke, her eyes lit up, as if a giant dragon had seen a pile of gold ingots.

Lu Yang raised his hand and jumped on her forehead.

She screamed in pain.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, why did you hit my head, boss?"

"Woo woo woo, you're almost knocking me into an idiot. You are responsible."

Lu Yang said angrily: "I am responsible for nothing. How old are you?"

"What kind of bullshit Furun ranking is this? Do you believe what he says?"

Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Bullshit, what the hell, throw all these things away, throw them in the trash can, and by the way, call them and tell them that if they dare to arrange them randomly, the company will send them a lawyer's letter, and I will sue them to death."

And he casually threw the gold-stamped invitation in his hand away.

Thrown at the feet of my eldest niece.

Xu Siqi bent down and picked up the invitation letter with grievance, pouting her lips and saying, "How would I know you didn't care about it? Throw it away if you want. I'll tear it up and throw it in the trash can now. Humph, I thought it was good news. This Hu Run has done a lot of harm to people. He is definitely not a good person."

He muttered something and walked away, touching his little head which was hurt by Lu Yang's hit.

"Boom."

Wait until the eldest niece helps him close the door.

Lu Yang's face turned completely gloomy.

He cursed inwardly, "Shouldn't Hu Run have started to learn from the Forbes Global Rich List in the late 90s, 98 or 99, and try to come up with a mainland rich list?"

"Why is it starting now?"

"Could it be because of the influence of this time-space butterfly?"

"Alas, it's a pity that once you are on this thing, it's easy to become famous, but it's also easy to be envied. The famous pig-killing list is no joke..."

"No, I have to think of a way. Even if I have to be on the list, I can't rank too high. That would make me clean and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Thinking of this, Lu Yang waved his fist and hit his right hand with his left hand.

"Fuck it, let's do it."

"Let my secretary negotiate first. If it doesn't work, I'll personally call and threaten that damned Hu. He'll have to drop his ranking by dozens of places."
