After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

At nine o'clock, a black sedan stopped in front of Shen Lu right on time.

The car window rolled down, revealing Gu Xiao's handsome and perfect face.

Today is a formal occasion, and Gu Xiao represents the face of the entire nation. He has his hair slicked back, revealing his perfect features.

He was wearing a crisp military uniform, his chest adorned with numerous medals.

Shen Lu's heart raced uncontrollably.

She lowered her head and tucked her hair behind her ears to hide her unusual behavior.

Gu Xiao's gaze swept over Shen Lu, but he quickly looked away. The pale yellow color, however, lingered in his mind.

The two remained silent throughout the journey until they arrived at the Great Hall of the People.

Gu Xiao got out of the car first. His height of 1.88 meters was very striking, and his powerful aura immediately drew the attention of the reporters in the hall, who swarmed around him.

Looking at the solemn and majestic Great Hall of the People, Shen Lu composed herself before getting out of the car.

Reporters from various countries swarmed around Gu Xiao to ask him questions.

This is an international conference, so reporters from various countries have come to cover it. There are mostly foreign reporters here, and when they asked Gu Xiao their questions, they all used foreign languages.

Shen Lu appeared just in time and translated the international journalists' questions from English into Chinese.

"General Gu, what are your thoughts on this meeting...?"

"Dear General Gu, on behalf of the United States, I extend my greetings to you. What are your views on foreign economic and trade relations...?"

Shen Lu's voice is very clear, like snowmelt from the top of the Tibetan mountains, with a refreshing and sweet taste.

After Shen Lu finished translating, Gu Xiao looked straight ahead and answered the question with a serious expression.

"I am honored to be here for this meeting..."

His voice was like the bass string of a cello, deep and magnetic, each word like a gentle pluck at the heart.

The reporters were captivated by the couple's melodious voices, and their questions poured out like a flood.

Fortunately, other attendees arrived, and the reporters' attention, which had been diverted, finally stopped focusing on the two.

A female reporter smiled mysteriously, left a message for Shen Lu, and then turned and left.

Shen Lu, who had maintained a serious work expression, broke down slightly after hearing those words.

She turned around and met the man's narrow eyes.

They forgot each other, their deep, dark eyes like ink, gazing at each other but unable to see the bottom.

Faced with Gu Xiao's questioning gaze, Shen Lu's mind raced, and she gave a vague answer.

"The female reporter complimented our voices..."

Just kidding, if she translated the female reporter's meaning verbatim to Commander Gu, Commander Gu might think she was being indecent.

Gu Xiao spent the entire morning in various conversations, with Shen Lu closely following the translator.

Many international friends have praised Shen Lu's pronunciation as being so standard that even locals rarely hear such a standard accent.

Of course, Shen Lu did not translate these self-praising words to Commander Gu.

He wasn't that narcissistic.

Representatives from various countries are here today to give a brief overview; the real highlight will be at tomorrow's trade fair.

Therefore, the meeting ended at noon.

Shen Lu originally planned to go back to eat, but the area was heavily guarded and transportation was not convenient.

Shen Lu was in the car and could only go to eat with Gu Xiao and his adjutant; she couldn't let them go hungry while she did.

Gu Xiao kept his eyes closed and rested the whole way.

On the contrary, his adjutant was very curious about Shen Lu and kept asking her questions along the way.

"Comrade Lu, your English is really good, better than those foreigners. Where did you learn it?"

Shen Lu knew, of course, that having such good spoken English in this era would arouse suspicion, and it would be bad if something went wrong. So she made up an excuse.

"I really enjoy watching English movies and reading English classics, and since someone in my family is in the export business, I've been immersed in this environment since I was little..."

While lying is generally considered bad, it's okay to tell a few white lies occasionally to cover things up.

Otherwise, how could she explain that a high school graduate with poor grades could speak fluent English?

The adjutant naturally assumed Shen Lu was a top student, his tone full of envy:

"You guys who have been to college are really different. It's a pity my family is poor, otherwise I would definitely be the first college student in our village."

Shen Lu did not refute his words, but instead changed the subject.

"If you have the opportunity, you can continue to study for the college entrance examination. It's never too late to start."

When Shen Lu said this, she exuded an indomitable spirit, her eyes sparkling with a positive outlook on the future.

Gu Xiao took in the whole scene through the rearview mirror, a smile that he himself didn't even realize appeared on his face.

Shen Lu was not joking. In the coming decades, China will develop rapidly, and academic qualifications will become increasingly important. If the adjutant can obtain a university degree, he will definitely have a bright future.

The national college entrance examination (Gaokao) just ended this June.

Shen Lu will miss the deadline. She plans to take the college entrance examination next year after her life settles down.

The first issue to resolve is her marriage, which involves where she will live in the future and the upbringing of her two children.

Only after all this has settled down can she focus on her studies and actively prepare for next year's college entrance examination.

In that instant, Shen Lu went through the general outline of her future plans.

She is a very organized person who likes to have absolute control over things.

At the same time, she considers things very carefully and would never allow her life to deviate from any course.

Now, the only unknown is her husband, whom she has never met.

Soon, the three arrived at the state-run restaurant.

The three men arrived at the meeting formally dressed, and their arrival immediately caught the manager's attention.

The manager caught a glimpse of the middle man's shoulder insignia from afar; he was a regimental commander.

He hurried over to greet him.

"Gentlemen, we have private rooms on the second floor. Please come in."

As the three set off, the manager realized that the person trailing behind and being blocked was none other than Shen Lu, who had previously given him recipes.

The manager couldn't contain himself and stepped forward, saying excitedly.

"Grandma, you don't know, the braised dish you gave us last time has become our signature dish. Many people line up to eat it and even think about taking some home."

The manager didn't remember Shen Lu's name; in his eyes, Shen Lu was his great-aunt.

Let alone calling her "Grandma," it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Shen Lu her living ancestor.

With just this one dish, Shen Lu, the company tripled its revenue within a month.

Gu Xiao and his adjutant clearly heard this as well, and Gu Xiao's gaze was appraising.

This woman is truly skilled in everything.

Despite seemingly being someone who never lifts a finger, she managed to get the manager of a state-run restaurant to rave about her recipes.
