(Volume 3) Chapter Two: The Secretary's

Wedding
On the evening of Thursday, September 30, 1993
, Fang Zhenyu arrived at the Municipal Party Committee Auditorium with a large group of Ning family girls just after 7 p.m. Tonight was the Linhai City National Day cultural performance. Not only did Ning Yufang and Zhong Ying have performances, but Zhong Yuguang had specifically requested Fang Zhenyu to attend, giving him two seats in the front row, one of which even had his name written on it, leaving him no way to avoid it.
"Hey, Mr. Fang is here! Mr. Fang, tell us how the construction of Linhai Port is going?" As soon as they entered the main hall, a group of reporters surrounded them.
"Excuse me, I need to accompany my wife backstage to get her makeup done. As for this question, let Deputy General Manager Zhan answer it for you." Fang Zhenyu was prepared and pushed Zhan Dajun forward. Zhan Dajun was immediately pulled aside by the group of reporters. Ning Yufang, Zhong Ying, Ning Yuheng, and Ning Yuzhi then escorted him into the auditorium.
“Teacher Fang, you really have foresight. If it weren’t for this trick, it would have been quite difficult for us to get in,” Zhong Ying said. To avoid media attention, she had been hiding among the three Ning sisters.
“Of course, my brother-in-law can predict many things,” Ning Yuzhi said proudly. Apparently, Fang Zhenyu had hurriedly called Zhan Dajun back from the port as soon as he heard about the cultural performance. Then she added, “Yingying, you should hide a little longer. Although the reporters in Linhai aren’t as powerful as the paparazzi in Hong Kong, they’re still everywhere.” Upon
hearing this, Zhong Ying quickly hid again, this time next to Fang Zhenyu. She didn’t want to be bothered by the media so soon. She had only come out because she was happy to hear Fang Zhenyu say he was accompanying his wife to the backstage for makeup, thinking that Fang Zhenyu had included her in his wife’s group. Of course, she didn’t realize that Fang Zhenyu was only referring to Ning Yufang.
The group entered the backstage area through a side door, where Liu Qian and the others were already waiting. Upon seeing them, they rushed forward and escorted them into the dressing room. The municipal party committee auditorium was quite nicely decorated, designed like a theater. It had dedicated dressing rooms and areas reserved for VIPs. Given Ning Yufang's status in Linhai's entertainment industry, this was naturally her place, especially with Zhong Ying's presence requiring secrecy.
Once there, everyone except Ning Yuheng and Ning Yuzhi focused on their performance. Even Xiao Mei, who had a close relationship with Fang Zhenyu, and Zhong Ying, who longed for him, dared not entertain any impure thoughts. Fang Zhenyu watched them change into their costumes. Except for Zhong Ying, the women, as usual, unabashedly stripped naked before slowly putting on their costumes. In an instant, the small room was filled with a radiant glow. The women's breasts were blooming, and their groins were also showing, making them incredibly alluring.
"Brother-in-law, you're so lucky!" Ning Yuheng exclaimed. Although she was beside Fang Zhenyu, because of Zhong Yuguang, and especially with Zhong Ying present, she didn't want to appear too intimate.
Fang Zhenyu said bitterly, "Isn't it your sister who corrupted them?"
"Who said my sisters are bad? You're just biased." Ning Yufang, who had just finished putting on her underwear, turned around and retorted.
Fang Zhenyu didn't dare to argue with her and quickly said, "It's almost time, I'm going out. Sanjiao, you should go out too." Saying that, he was about to leave.
Ning Yuheng also knew that she shouldn't keep Zhong Yuguang waiting, so she was about to turn around and leave when she heard Zhong Ying, who was hiding behind the curtain, complain, "How annoying, here it comes again." She quickly went over and asked, "Yingying, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Zhong Ying replied, putting a tissue under her crotch and muttering, "When I want it to be on time, it's not, and when I want it not to be, it's right. I can't do anything about it."
Ning Yuheng knew what she was talking about and couldn't help but laugh, "It's not a clock, how can it be so punctual? Wait a minute, I'll go buy something for you." Saying that, she went out.
Fang Zhenyu, of course, knew that Zhong Ying had started her period, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to respond to Zhong Ying tonight. He said with concern, "Yingying, be careful," and left the dressing room.
Zhong Ying replied, also sighing inwardly. She thought that this time, having made everything clear to Fang Zhenyu, she should have achieved her goal. Who knew that this would happen again? This certainly wouldn't be resolved in a day or two. It seemed this holiday had been a waste of effort, and she couldn't help but think that good things often come with difficulties.
Accompanied by Ning Yuzhi, Fang Zhenyu left the audience area. Sure enough, the city's party, government, and military leaders were all there, and he greeted them one by one. In the last two rows sat Zheng Bin, Zhang Hong, Wu Xuedong, Fang Yuqiong, Ning Yuzhi, and others, who all waved to him. Just as he sat down in his seat, he discovered he was sitting next to Zhong Yuguang, with the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Nong Shutang sitting to his left. He said nervously, "Secretary Nong, please sit here."
Nong Shutang smiled and said, "This isn't a meeting, why assign seats? I specially reserved this for you so you can discuss things with Secretary Zhong if needed." Just as he had said at the Standing Committee meeting, he had been secretly monitoring Fang Zhenyu closely, but hadn't found any violations of economic discipline, only some indiscretions in his lifestyle. However, these were merely indiscretions and didn't constitute a major problem. Of course, in administrative matters, this might be fatal, but Fang Zhenyu was a business, and besides, there was no concrete evidence. Therefore, he valued Fang Zhenyu highly and had allowed him to sit in his seat.
Zhong Yuguang laughed, "He didn't give up his seat; he just wanted to get closer to the Ning family's beauties." It turned out that he had let Fang Zhenyu sit next to him for easier conversation, while letting the Ning sisters, Ning Yuheng and Ning Yuzhi, sit together.
Nong Shutang laughed, "That beautiful lady will be your wife, Secretary Zhong, tomorrow. Even if I were bold enough, I wouldn't have a chance."
Zhong Yuguang then noticed that Ning Yuzhi was sitting next to Fang Zhenyu, and the seat next to Nong Shutang was obviously for Ning Yuheng. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, but still generously said, "As long as you're not married, you still have a chance. As long as your wife doesn't object, you can pursue her."
Nong Shutang's wife was sitting next to him and smiled when she heard this, "If he has the charm of your Secretary Zhong and can win the favor of a beauty, I won't object if he pursues me." Just then ,
Ning Yuheng arrived beside them. Hearing this, she asked, "Sister Cheng, what don't you object to?"
Nong Shutang's wife's surname was Cheng. Ning Yuheng had met her many times while accompanying Zhong Yuguang to various events, so the two were quite familiar with each other. Therefore, she smiled and said, "Is your Yuguang encouraging Shutang to pursue you?"
Hearing this, Ning Yuheng gave Nong Shutang a charming look and smiled, "Secretary Nong, is what Sister Cheng said true? Do you dare to pursue him? If you do, I'll have to consider whether to wear a wedding dress tomorrow."
Her words made everyone burst into laughter. Sitting on Zhong Yuguang's other side, Chen Xiangdong, seeing their harmonious interaction, felt extremely jealous. He said maliciously, "Secretary Nong, it's rare to see Secretary Zhong and his wife being so generous. Why don't you try your methods? Besides, the Ning family has three more beautiful daughters. If you win them over, our General Manager Fang's backing will be even stronger."
Zhong Yuguang frowned upon hearing this. Wasn't this implying that Fang Zhenyu got his position through nepotism? But he couldn't speak up in this setting. Not only Zhong Yuguang understood, but the others did too. Ning Yuzhi didn't care who he was; she just couldn't tolerate anyone slandering her beloved brother-in-law. She said, "Mayor Chen, I heard your daughter is very beautiful. How about I ask my sister to give her half her place and have her marry my brother-in-law, so he can have another powerful backer like you!"
"Fifth Sister," Fang Zhenyu rebuked Ning Yuzhi sharply.
Wasn't this implying that her daughter should become Fang Zhenyu's mistress or a mistress in the black market? Chen Xiangdong was furious at his own humiliation, but since he had started it, he couldn't say anything. Fortunately, the show started at that moment, which saved him from embarrassment.
Zhong Yuguang wasn't really interested in watching the programs. Aside from attentively enjoying the few performances by Ning Yufang and his daughter, he spent the rest of the time talking to Fang Zhenyu. He couldn't miss his daughter's performances, and as for Ning Yufang's, he felt he should at least give Fang Zhenyu some face. Besides, he might need to discuss it with his daughter.
Fang Zhenyu wasn't interested in watching these kinds of programs either, so he started talking to Zhong Yuguang. They discussed everything from port construction to Shangguan Hao's investment, the development along the river, the commencement of the highway project, and even the issue of access to the sea from the southwest. Because Fang Zhenyu spent most of his time at the port, Zhong Yuguang hadn't had such a detailed conversation with him in a long time, so they talked enthusiastically. Zhong Yuguang noticed that although they hadn't seen each other for long, Fang Zhenyu's thinking was broader, his ideas more unique, and his considerations more comprehensive. However, he was still worried that Fang Zhenyu's personal affairs would affect the port development. He asked, "Zhenyu, I heard you've contracted the tax bureau's printing plant again. You should be careful; port construction is the main thing. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture."
Ning Yuzhi, who was standing close to Fang Zhenyu, said, "Third brother-in-law, don't worry. Second brother-in-law won't forget about your important port development project."
Zhong Yuguang smiled bitterly, "Port development is a matter for all the people of Linhai City. How did it become just my business?"
Ning Yuzhi stood up, glanced at Chen Xiangdong, and said, "I have to go to my night shift. I don't have time to talk to you anymore. Anyway, I don't care whose port it is. I only know that if second brother-in-law didn't build any port, he would earn over 100,000 yuan a year, and he wouldn't have to work so hard now. So you have to make sure he's not mistreated." After saying that, she ignored them and left.
Zhong Yuguang looked helplessly at Fang Zhenyu and said, "Zhenyu, it seems the Ning family's daughters are all quite formidable."
Ning Yuheng glared at him fiercely and retorted, "When have I ever tried to control you?"
Seeing Zhong Yuguang's speechless expression, Nong Shutang's wife laughed, "Good, Secretary Zhong, finally someone can keep you in check." This remark made everyone burst into laughter again, though those nearby didn't understand what they were laughing about.
Amidst the laughter, the performance finally ended. Zhong Yuguang and the other leaders naturally went up to meet the actors, while Fang Zhenyu and Ning Yuheng took the opportunity to leave. Back at the Fang family building, Zhong Ying had been there for a long time. Afraid of being followed by reporters, she had slipped away as soon as her performance was over. Upon seeing Fang Zhenyu return, she happily stepped forward, holding Fang Zhenyu's hand in one hand and Ning Yuheng's in the other, asking, "Teacher Fang, Mom, how did I sing tonight?" Seeing how close she was to Fang Zhenyu, if Wang Peiying and Ning Yuheng hadn't been there, she probably would have already jumped into his arms.
Wang Peiying, unaware of the ambiguous relationship between her and Fang Zhenyu, laughed at Zhong Ying's affectionate address, saying, "Is there anything our Yingying can't sing well? If she really couldn't, I'd hold you accountable, Zhenyu." Judging from her demeanor, she already considered Zhong Ying her granddaughter.
"Teacher Fang, did you hear that? I had Grandma's help!" Zhong Ying said proudly.
Ning Yuheng pulled her into her arms, saying, "Of course our Yingying sang well. It's late, what did Mom tell you?"
"I know, Mom." Zhong Ying kissed Ning Yuheng before saying goodbye to Wang Peiying and Fang Zhenyu.
"Yingying, where are you going?" Wang Peiying asked hurriedly.
Zhong Ying giggled and said, "I'm going home so I can welcome my mother into the family tomorrow." Then she disappeared.
Wang Peiying was pleased and said, "Yuheng, you're so lucky. You've already got such a big daughter to dote on you as soon as you get married."
"Mom," Ning Yuheng said shyly, hiding her face in her mother's arms, but added, "Aren't you just as lucky? Soon you'll have a sixth daughter to take care of you."
Fang Zhenyu laughed from the side. Wang Peiying knew, of course, that her daughter was referring to her and Shangguan Hao. She blushed and pushed Ning Yuheng away, scolding, "Nonsense!" She hurriedly went back to her room, thinking of Shangguan Hao's love for her, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
Fang Zhenyu and Ning Yuheng smiled at each other and went upstairs arm in arm.
On the morning of Friday, October 1, 1993,
while Fang Zhenyu, Fang Yuqiong, and others were happily preparing Ning Yuheng's dowry and sending her off to her wedding in Xiajiang Village, Lei Xiaomin and a group of young people were working diligently on the island in the middle of the river. Lei Xiaomin had only been at the port development zone for a little over ten days, and many things had happened at home. Not only had Ning Yuheng's 30,000 yuan arrived, but the 100,000 yuan from the finance department had also arrived. Moreover, with Zheng Bin's help, the bank had agreed to their loan request; only the formalities remained to be completed. This kept him very busy, but he didn't want to give up his job at the port. He felt that although it was hard work there, he could learn a lot, and he wanted to make the most of the opportunity. So, he had to use his vacation time to handle things at home. Fortunately, Lei Zhen and Xiao San didn't disappoint him, completing much of the preliminary work. The
130,000 yuan that arrived, according to the original plan, was mainly used to buy seedlings and fertilizer; they wanted to plant fruit trees all over the barren island first, and the rest would be used to build a small tourist wharf. The dockworks were contracted to an engineering team, with only initial funding provided. Most of the money was used for planting. The saplings had been purchased, and they were trying to plant them as soon as possible. Lacking funds to hire help, they had to rely on themselves, so they organized a planting team.
In Xiajiang Village, Lei Xiaomin's authority hadn't yet been established, and the planting team was currently only on a work-rate basis, without wages yet. Therefore, not many people joined; besides the brothers, only four others joined, including two women: Lei Jiehua and Zhang Xia, who were aunt and sister-in-law. Lei Jiehua was not yet eighteen, having just graduated from high school, while Zhang Xia had been married for two years. The two sisters-in-law had a very good relationship.
Today they were digging pits to plant jujubes imported from Taiwan. Lei Xiaomin finished digging one and went to Zhang Xia, who was digging hard next to him, and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle actually let you join the planting team?"
Zhang Xia stood in the pit, which was nearly a meter deep, and threw out a shovelful of soil before saying, "He's not capable of supporting me. If he doesn't let me work, what will I eat?"
Lei Zhen, who was on the other side, heard this and said disdainfully, "That second brother of mine only knows how to drink. What can he do? If it weren't for Zhang Xia, he probably wouldn't even have food to eat." Although they were the same age as Lei Xiaomin, Lei Zhen and Zhang Xia were both a generation older than him, so they weren't afraid to offend people when they spoke.
Zhang Xia stood in the pit, her delicate face flushed from the effort. Hearing Lei Zhen's words, a hint of resentment flashed across her face. Her slender figure, wearing a thin undershirt, exuded the beauty of a mature woman, making Lei Xiaomin, who had never experienced a woman before, blush a little. He felt sorry for Zhang Xia. He couldn't understand why someone as beautiful as her, a high school graduate, would marry his second uncle, Lei Song, a man of poor character and education. But he didn't dare say it like Lei Zhen, only saying, "As long as we manage this island well, life will be easier from now on."
Zhang Xia said, "That's what I was hoping for, which is why I tried so hard to get him to agree to let us, my sister-in-law and I, join the planting team. If we had listened to him, we'd still be fishing with him now." Lei Song did nothing but fish on the river all day. On a lucky day, he could catch three or five pounds, which Zhang Xia would take out to sell. Most of the money was used to buy alcohol. On a bad day, he couldn't even afford food.
"Sister-in-law, let's not talk about this anymore," Lei Jiehua said, not wanting everyone to discuss her family affairs further. She changed the subject, saying, "Brother Xiaomin, do you think our island can really be managed well?"
"Of course." Lei Xiaomin was full of confidence. This was not only due to the support of Fang Yuqiong and others, but more importantly, because after going to the port development zone, he learned a lot from Fang Zhenyu, understanding that with hard work, nothing is impossible. Moreover, he also learned how to view current economic development, understanding that riverside development is a major trend in Linhai City, and Jiangxin Island is in a key position, naturally with great development potential. The main problem now is how to turn it into a tourist area integrating food, drink, and entertainment, attracting outsiders to come for vacations. He said, "Other places are developing agritourism, and the results are quite good. We are a small island, which gives us an extra unique feature. I believe people will come to visit."
"Just these fruit trees?"
"Of course, more than that. We need to plant a lot more to ensure there is fruit to eat all year round. More importantly, we also need some infrastructure to make people have a good time here," Lei Xiaomin said.
"What kind of infrastructure do we need?" Lei Jiehua asked. She had just graduated from school and knew nothing, so of course she didn't miss the opportunity to ask this nephew who was older than her but younger in generation.
To make sure everyone understood what to do, Lei Xiaomin raised his voice and explained, "There are many facilities needed, such as fishing spots, small restaurants, and simple accommodations. We need to make sure people have food and lodging, just like at home."
"Won't that cost a lot of money?"
"Of course, so initially we'll only build one small restaurant and a few yurt-style houses. Once we have income, we'll expand further." "
But we don't even have enough money to pay for the dock construction yet!" "
So we need to find a way to raise funds. We also need to save money; we shouldn't spend money we don't need to spend, and we shouldn't give money we don't need to give. We'll get people to pay for it first, and then pay them back when we earn money."
Hearing Lei Xiaomin's explanation, Lei Zhen and Xiao San finally understood why they hadn't given any money to the dock construction team, even though they still had some. Xiao San sighed, "Brother Xiaomin, now I understand why Sister Fang valued you so much. Only you are so thrifty; if it were me, that little bit of money would have been spent long ago."
"That's why, even though you're older and I'm of a higher generation, Xiaomin has to be the elder brother," Lei Zhen said.
Xiao San said, "If you ask me, it would be better to make Xiao Min the village chief."
"I agree," Zhang Xia said. "In our village, only Xiao Min has the influence, and besides, he has Sister Fang and Brother Fang supporting him."
Lei Jiehua looked at the tall and handsome Lei Xiaomin with deep respect and said, "I also believe that only Brother Xiaomin can lead our village out of its predicament."
Lei Xiaomin, however, was very anxious and said, "How can that be? I don't have that kind of ability. Besides, do you think anyone can just become village chief?"
Zhang Xia said earnestly, "Xiao Min, everyone is pinning their hopes on you, so just do it with confidence. We all support you. As for whether you can become chief, aren't village officials elected these days? Let's make some more connections..." "I believe most of the villagers voted for you."
The crowd joined in the commotion, and after a while, when everyone quieted down, Xiao San said, "I think the higher-ups also intend for Xiao Min to be the village chief. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent him to the port development zone to learn again. They want you to gain experience and learn management skills so you can shoulder future responsibilities. Xiao Min, you must work even harder and not let them down."
Hearing Xiao San say this, not only did Lei Xiaomin himself agree, but Lei Jiehua and the others also thought it was quite possible. Otherwise, why would they send Xiao Min to learn when the development of Jiangxin Island was in dire need of manpower? Next year, the village elections are coming up, so this was clearly a way for them to cultivate Lei Xiaomin. Zhang Xia and Lei Jiehua's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lei Xiaomin, filled with respect and admiration for this man who was a generation younger than them but older. Especially Lei Jiehua; if they didn't know they were siblings, they might have thought they were a couple.
“Xiaomin, for the sake of our Xiajiang Village, you must stand tall and shoulder this heavy responsibility. I think that besides everyone here, many people in the village also hope that you will step forward,” Zhang Xia encouraged him warmly.
Lei Xiaomin, spurred on by the words, let out a long breath and said, "Since everyone thinks so highly of me, I'll do it! I won't date or get married until I change the face of our Xiajiang Village and bring a good life to our uncles, brothers, and sisters!"
"Good!" the crowd cheered loudly. Their cheers showed their trust in Lei Xiaomin and their belief in a bright future for Xiajiang Village.
On Friday night, October 1st, 1993
, at around 11 PM in the Fang family mansion, Ning Yuzhi, still in her evening gown, sat in front of her dressing table, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, quietly waiting for her dear brother-in-law, Fang Zhenyu, to arrive. She knew that Fang Zhenyu's words at her third sister's wedding meant her hopes wouldn't be dashed tonight. Her thoughts drifted back to the wedding ceremony that had filled her with such joy.
Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng's wedding was held at the Linhai Grand Hotel. Although the number of guests was small, the atmosphere was very festive and lively. For some reason, the third sister didn't ask the fourth sister to be her bridesmaid, but skipped over the fourth sister and made Ning Yuzhi the bridesmaid instead. The best man was Wu Xuedong. The entire wedding was bustling not only because the groom was the municipal party secretary, but also because the Ning sisters, along with Fang Yuqiong, Zhan Dajun, and many other beautiful girls, attended the party. As a result, many young, unmarried men showed up uninvited. The group of girls were incredibly busy, attending to one person after another, with no free time whatsoever. Ning Yuzhi wasn't particularly enthusiastic about dancing to begin with, and this made her even more uncomfortable. However, halfway through the dance, she became excited because of a conversation she had with Fang Zhenyu while dancing.
At that time, the dance wasn't even halfway through when Fang Zhenyu asked her to dance. She was naturally very enthusiastic. Dancing with others was uncomfortable, but dancing with her dear brother-in-law made her happy no matter how much she danced. Fang Zhenyu said, "Fifth Sister, how can you be so unhappy about Third Sister's wedding?"
"I'm just not interested." In such a public setting, Ning Yuzhi didn't dare to be too intimate with Fang Zhenyu, but she still stood quite close, almost breathing sweetly into his ear.
This time, Fang Zhenyu didn't pull away; instead, he hugged her tighter and whispered, "If this were also our wedding, would you still be so uninterested?"
"What did you say?" Ning Yuzhi almost cried out in surprise.
"Never mind if you didn't hear me," Fang Zhenyu said, but with a forceful pull, he lifted Ning Yuzhi's round buttocks forward, letting her feel his firmness and size.
Ning Yuzhi was greatly excited and said, "I heard you! Today should be the happiest and most blissful day of my life. Don't you dare back out again!" She gently swayed her hips, rubbing against the treasure she had been longing for, and immediately became lively.
Fang Zhenyu said earnestly, "Of course not, I've arranged everything."
From that moment on, she became lively, dancing lightly and laughing with everyone she danced with until the end of the ball.
"Fifth Sister, what are you thinking about?" Ning Yuwei appeared beside her without her noticing.
Ning Yuzhi was startled, jolted awake from her sweet memories, and a little flustered. She worried that Fang Zhenyu had run into Ning Yuwei, and that her good dream for the night would be shattered. Looking at her fourth sister, she asked, "Nothing? Fourth Sister, is there something you need?"
Seeing her sister's expression, Ning Yuwei found it amusing. Of course, she understood her thoughts, because Fang Zhenyu had sent her down tonight to comfort Ning Yuzhi, fearing she might get angry. She hugged Ning Yuzhi's flat stomach from behind and chuckled, "Today, you stole my right to be your bridesmaid. Tonight, I'll take it back, or I'll be at a loss!"
"Rob? What are you robbing now?" Ning Yuzhi was completely confused.
Ning Yuwei pinched her nose and said, "Still pretending to be confused? I'll be your bridesmaid. Tonight, aren't you getting married to your darling little lover?"
"Fourth Sister, you..." Ning Yuzhi cried out inwardly. How did she know about this?
Ning Yuwei let go of her, sat down on the edge of the bed, and smiled, "Don't worry, he won't lie to you. He needs to make arrangements for Zhong Ying and Shi Xiaoyan before he can come down. He was afraid you'd be anxious, so he asked me to come down and comfort you. At the same time, he'll also teach you how to be a good bride. Look how much your little lover cares about you!"
Ning Yuzhi turned around and saw Ning Yuwei wearing a thin nightgown. Even under the pink light, her small panties and large, undisguised breasts were still visible, displaying a woman's mature beauty. Leaning against the blanket, her face was flushed with desire. She couldn't help but walk over, climb up her breasts, and ask, "Fourth Sister, isn't he also my fourth brother-in-law?"
“Of course, otherwise, why would he ask me to tell you all this?” Ning Yuwei also hugged Ning Yuzhi, this time pressing her hand on Ning Yuzhi’s firm breasts, and sighed, “I really envy you two, being able to be by his side so often and receiving his love so often. As for me, I have to leave for training again tomorrow, so he asked me to keep him company with you tonight. Fifth sister, your fourth sister has taken your little lover, you won’t resent your fourth sister, will you?”
“How could I? He belongs to all the sisters first, and I’m already satisfied to share him. I just wonder if third sister is his lover too? If she is, it would be so much fun for the five of us sisters to serve one person together!” Perhaps she had come to terms with it, or perhaps she had been taught by Ning Yufen, Ning Yuzhi showed no displeasure whatsoever.
Ning Yuwei said, "Judging from my expression, Third Sister should be just like us."
Looking at Ning Yuwei's pajamas, Ning Yuzhi was very envious and said, "Fourth Sister, your clothes are so beautiful."
"Those were a gift from my lover, but you don't need to be envious. Your lover also gave you a set, so you can wear it and be his lover properly." Ning Yuwei handed Ning Yuzhi a package she had brought.
Ning Yuzhi was overjoyed, took it, and opened it. Sure enough, it was a set of pure white pajamas, complete with underwear. She was about to go to the bathroom when Ning Yuwei stopped her. "Fourth Sister, let me change."
Ning Yuwei smiled, "Who's stopping you? But you have to change here."
"This…" Ning Yuzhi hesitated. Since growing up, apart from being naked in front of Fang Zhenyu, she had never undressed in front of anyone else, not even a woman.
Ning Yuwei laughed, "What's there to be shy about? We'll all be naked together soon, won't we? I'll be serving him with you."
Ning Yuzhi thought her fourth sister's words made sense, so she shyly began to take off her clothes. Her delicate skin and beautiful figure were displayed before Ning Yuwei, eliciting Ning Yuwei's praises, which only made Ning Yuzhi even more shy. She finally managed to put on her pajamas, only to be pulled into Ning Yuwei's arms again. Remembering that her fourth sister had also been intimate with Fang Zhenyu, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister, his thing is so big, does it hurt a lot when it goes in?" Although she knew that the size of that thing was a treasure for a woman, the thought of the pain of deflowering still made her a little worried.
Ning Yuwei gently stroked her body, and upon hearing this, laughed, "Isn't it a little late to ask this now?"
"So, it really hurts a lot," Ning Yuzhi said, becoming frightened.
"Silly girl, every woman feels pain the first time, but after the pain, the feeling is wonderful. Otherwise, why would so many people like it?"
Ning Yuzhi realized that her sister was making fun of her, so she started to tease her. Soon, their desires were aroused, and they let out soft moans.
Just then, Fang Zhenyu arrived silently. He said, "It seems you two can play together; I'm no longer needed here."
"Brother-in-law!" the two women cried out in unison, throwing themselves into Fang Zhenyu's arms and kissing his face. Ning Yuzhi said, "Without you, the world would be devoid of light."
"Silly girl," Fang Zhenyu lightly patted Ning Yuzhi's pink buttocks and asked, "Then wouldn't I become a 'color'?"
"You're not 'color,' you're 'lustful.'" Ning Yuzhi didn't want to leave Fang Zhenyu's embrace for a moment. She wrapped her jade-like hands around Fang Zhenyu's neck and kissed his big mouth, saying lewdly, "It's precisely because you're lustful that I like you, that we sisters like you!" Ning Yuwei
had already taken the two cups of wine that Ning Yuzhi had prepared on the dressing table and handed them to the two women, saying, "Alright, stop saying such mushy things. After drinking the nuptial wine, let's go to the bridal chamber." Actually, she herself couldn't hold back anymore. She hadn't been intimate with Fang Zhenyu for over a month, and she was thinking about it.
The two took the cups, raised them, and clasped arms. Fang Zhenyu said, "Fifth Sister, after drinking this cup, you will be my lover. Think it over carefully, don't regret it."
"Brother-in-law, just love me well, I will never regret it," Ning Yuzhi said resolutely, finishing her drink first, as if she was more afraid that Fang Zhenyu would change his mind.
Fang Zhenyu sighed, raised his cup, and drank, but he only drank half, then fed the other half to Ning Yuzhi's small mouth. The two kissed for a long time before separating. Fang Zhenyu said, "Fourth Sister, go turn on the light, let me properly admire Fifth Sister's beautiful body."
"Fourth Sister, don't turn it on!" Ning Yuzhi cried anxiously before Ning Yuwei could answer.
How could Ning Yuwei listen to her? Soon, she turned on the main light in the room, and in an instant, the whole room was brightly lit. During their long kiss, Fang Zhenyu had stripped Ning Yuzhi naked. She quickly covered her genitals with her hands, but her firm breasts were completely exposed. Under the light, her skin was as white as snow, but her delicate face was flushed red. Fang Zhenyu sensed something was amiss. Ning Yuzhi had been intimate with him more than once; she had even kissed his manhood and consumed much of his essence. Logically, she shouldn't be so shy. He didn't press her for an answer, but instead kissed her face first, his large hands caressing her breasts. To be honest, Ning Yuzhi's development wasn't complete; her breasts were only large enough for Fang Zhenyu to grasp, but they were pert and pointed, giving them a unique beauty that Fang Zhenyu found irresistible.
Ning Yuzhi finally couldn't help but moan comfortably, and her hands moved away from her genitals, caressing Fang Zhenyu's body. Fang Zhenyu then moved his large hand to her private area. Upon touching it, he understood why Ning Yuzhi was so shy. He whispered in her ear, "Little lover, don't be shy. Your brother-in-law really likes your little white tiger."
"Really?" Ning Yuzhi was overjoyed. Her pubic area used to have some downy hair, but after being intimate with Fang Zhenyu, even that layer of hair was gone, leaving her pubic area smooth. She had heard many legends about the "white tiger" and didn't want Fang Zhenyu to discover it so early, fearing he wouldn't like it. Fang Zhenyu's words naturally pleased her.
"Of course. Come, let your brother-in-law give her a good kiss." Fang Zhenyu said, pulling Ning Yuzhi in front of him, parting her long, slender legs, revealing her smooth, delicate private area. Its white and tender appearance was incredibly alluring. He lowered his head and kissed it.
Ning Yuzhi felt the same wonderful sensation she had experienced before, arching her hips to meet Fang Zhenyu's, wriggling incessantly. She murmured, "Good brother-in-law, you're making me feel so good!"
After a while, Fang Zhenyu finally raised his head and asked, "Fifth sister, you didn't seem like this before. When did you become so beautiful?"
"I don't know why, it's just that after you made love to me once, she became like this," Ning Yuzhi said breathlessly. She was very happy to see that Fang Zhenyu really didn't find her disgusting.
"Fourth sister, go kiss fifth sister's little white tiger and let fifth sister taste my big fried dough stick. Let's do a 'carp surfacing' move," Fang Zhenyu said to Ning Yuwei, who was swallowing and spitting out his big thing.
Ning Yuwei didn't know what "carp escaping the water" meant, but she still kissed her sister's private parts as Fang Zhenyu had instructed. She found them white with a rosy tinge and liked them very much. Fang Zhenyu leaned against the edge of the bed, making Ning Yuzhi lower her head to kiss his penis, and telling her to stick her round buttocks up high. Ning Yuwei then understood, looked up and giggled, "Brother-in-law, your analogy is so vivid." "
Don't you know your brother-in-law studied Chinese literature?" Fang Zhenyu said smugly, feeling that he was becoming more and more lustful and lewd.
Ning Yuzhi finally couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the large thing that was deeply inserted into her throat, crying out, "Good brother-in-law, good lover, come and love me quickly!"
Fang Zhenyu knew that Ning Yuzhi's desire had risen to an unbearable level, so he rolled over and pressed down on her. The worker bee that was gathering nectar hovered around the flower for a while before gently penetrating the stamen. He stopped moving, kissed the tears on her delicate face, and asked affectionately, "Fifth sister, it hurt so much. Do you regret it?"
"No regrets," Ning Yuzhi replied, twisting her hips. She felt that after the pain, her insides were swollen and hot, and she couldn't tell whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable. She said, "Brother-in-law, I'm so happy! My little place can actually accommodate your lovely big thing. Now I'm relieved, so just love your wanton little lover properly!"
Fang Zhenyu also felt that Ning Yuzhi's place was very narrow, making his little brother very uncomfortable. Seeing her like this, he began to move. With his superb skills and Ning Yuzhi's assistance, the two naturally came up with all sorts of tricks. After nearly half an hour of intense fighting, both of them achieved the most beautiful enjoyment.
"It's so beautiful, good brother-in-law, you really know how to please people!" Ning Yuzhi hugged Fang Zhenyu tightly and praised him.
Fang Zhenyu was very pleased, pinching Ning Yuzhi's hard nipples and laughing, "Little lover, call me 'husband' and let me hear it."
Despite being a little shy, Ning Yuzhi still called out softly with emotion, "Good husband, dear husband, you've made Yuzhi so wonderful, Yuzhi loves you to death!"
Ning Yuwei gently cleaned the bloody stains from her sister's genitals and laughed, "Fifth sister, women are like flowers; they need bees to gather nectar to stay vibrant. Our husband is a diligent flower gatherer. At home, you not only need to invite him to gather nectar, but you also need to take good care of him so that he can gather more flowers and make more women more beautiful."
"Sister, I will."
Fang Zhenyu was about to speak when the door opened, and Shi Xiaoyan walked in, her clothes disheveled and weak. She came to the bedside, leaned against Fang Zhenyu's bare, thick chest, and said with infinite shyness, "Boss, although my flower isn't very beautiful, it's very fresh. I'm grateful for your help in picking it!"
"Clap clap." Ning Yuwei clapped first, saying, "Good, good! That's courage! That's what our husband's good subordinates should be like."
Fang Zhenyu was helpless with this group of girls. If girls could act like this, what could he say? He could only put his arm around Shi Xiaoyan's slender waist and ask, "Xiaoyan, how did you get here?"
With Ning Yuwei's support, Shi Xiaoyan became a little bolder and said, "Do you think I can sleep here? Even at the port, I still think about you for a while every night before I can fall asleep?" Although her words were very simple, they were full of affection and contained boundless longing for Fang Zhenyu.
"Silly girl." Fang Zhenyu kissed her lips affectionately. From Shi Xiaoyan's actions on Linglong Island, he knew that she was telling the truth, and he was truly moved.
Ning Yuwei laughed and said, "Xiaoyan, you're so useless! You had so many opportunities at the port, why didn't you seize them? Why did you have to wait until we got here to compete with you?"
From Fang Zhenyu's actions and expression, Shi Xiaoyan knew that he had accepted her, so she became even bolder. While taking off her already meager clothes, she said, "Although there were many opportunities there, it was easy for others to see through me. I was afraid that if word got out, it would affect him, and I was even more afraid that if Sister Yufang found out, it would break up his family. That's why I didn't go all out. If I had known that Sister Yufang was so magnanimous, letting him take advantage of you sisters, I wouldn't have tolerated it until today." As she spoke, she had already taken off all her clothes, and her entire fair and voluptuous body was displayed in front of the three of them. She leaned against Fang Zhenyu again and said, "Boss, thank you for your hard work tonight."
Fang Zhenyu knew he could no longer refuse Shi Xiaoyan, so he asked Ning Yuzhi, "Fifth Sister, you don't mind having an extra bride tonight, do you?"
Ning Yuzhi was still weak from Fang Zhenyu's ministrations, and the wonderful feeling hadn't faded yet. Naturally, she had no objection to Shi Xiaoyan's addition. Seeing how respectful Fang Zhenyu was to her, her love for him deepened. She said, "Husband, Yuzhi wishes all the beautiful flowers in the world could be nourished by you, so how could I mind?" She then turned to Shi Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, I'm tired. You and Fourth Sister can take care of our husband."
Ning Yuwei saw Shi Xiaoyan looking at her and laughed, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and go take a bath with him, and properly awaken his treasure!"
Seeing that Yuwei and Yuzhi were both so modest, Shi Xiaoyan was grateful and said, "I'm afraid I'll spoil your pleasure, Sister Yuwei."
"Hypocrite," Ning Yuwei muttered, pulling Fang Zhenyu up. "Let's go, let Xiaoyan and I serve you together. I'll stay behind. Honey, you won't leave me alone tonight, will you?"
Seeing the women's wanton behavior, Fang Zhenyu's ambition surged. He easily got up and said, "How could I? I'll make sure you return to the training camp tomorrow with sweet memories, train hard, and strive to win the national championship." With that, he embraced the two naked bodies and led them into the bathroom.
Ning Yuwei adjusted the water, while Shi Xiaoyan nestled into Fang Zhenyu's arms. Although she was bold enough, the thought of becoming the lover of this handsome man made her somewhat shy. She wrapped her arms around Fang Zhenyu's neck and whispered in his ear, "Boss, am I too fat?"
"How could you be?" Fang Zhenyu carried her into the bathtub and placed her on the edge. He caressed her body with his large hands and praised, "I love your voluptuous figure."
Shi Xiaoyan was shorter than Li Wei, but her full figure made her appear larger. As she sat on the edge of the tub, her arms and legs were so rounded, especially her private parts, which appeared exceptionally full. A soft tuft of hair grew on that high mound, possessing a unique charm that attracted men. She had always worried that Fang Zhenyu wouldn't like her because she was too fat, but now that he had said that, she felt relieved. She spread her legs for him to caress, and her small hands grasped his soft, yielding member, gently stroking it. She said affectionately, "Boss, then you must love me well, right? Xiaoyan will always be your loyal servant."
Fang Zhenyu was also moved by Shi Xiaoyan's devotion and began to tease her with all his might, his long tongue kissing her entire body, finally licking her beautiful pubic hair. Ning Yuwei attacked from both sides, sometimes sucking on Shi Xiaoyan's breasts, sometimes sucking on Fang Zhenyu's member. Before long, Shi Xiaoyan's desire was at its peak, and Fang Zhenyu's virility was restored.
Being so small, it was difficult for Fang Zhenyu to penetrate Shi Xiaoyan. It took him a long time to fully insert his enormous member into her body. When he looked at her again, she was in tears from the pain. He gently wiped away her tears and asked, "Xiaoyan, does it hurt?"
Although Shi Xiaoyan felt a burning sensation in her lower body, she was overjoyed because she had finally won the love of the man she loved, and their bodies and souls were completely intertwined. She moaned, "Boss, I'm fine, just be gentle with me."
Fang Zhenyu began his all-around assault, gradually increasing the speed and intensity of his thrusts, repeatedly striking Shi Xiaoyan's narrow territory. This caused Shi Xiaoyan to sing with joy, swaying her round buttocks to meet his attacks. Ning Yuwei was not idle either. Sometimes she helped Fang Zhenyu, and sometimes she guided Shi Xiaoyan to take the initiative, allowing Shi Xiaoyan to experience her first and only painful yet wonderful pleasure amidst the pain.
Shi Xiaoyan was as happy as if she were on drugs. Even though she had stopped moving, she was still moaning. After a long time, she returned to reality from her fairyland. She hugged Fang Zhenyu tightly and said with infinite longing, "Boss, I am willing to be your little lover forever. My love will never change even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble."
Ning Yuwei let her be intimate for a while before saying, "Alright, it's time for me to have my fill." After wiping away the stains from Shi Xiaoyan, she went into the bathroom with Fang Zhenyu. Then, she gently woke Fang Zhenyu, letting him experience unparalleled pleasure and happiness, keeping it in her heart to inspire him to strive for victory in the competition.
Everyone got what they needed, and all four were satisfied. Although the bed wasn't big, Ning Yuwei and Shi Xiaoyan didn't want to leave, and the three beautiful women embraced Fang Zhenyu as they drifted off to sleep.
On the morning of Saturday, October 2, 1993,
Zhong Yuying returned to her father's new home in Linhai from the Linhai Grand Hotel. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. She had woken up earlier, practiced her exercises, and had breakfast. It was only a little past nine o'clock when Ning Yufang urged her to go back, but she insisted on spending some time with Fang Zhenyu before leaving. Although she hadn't achieved true ecstasy, a little indulgence was still a consolation.
Zhong Yuguang was still staying at the Linhai Grand Hotel, but not in the kind reserved for guests. Instead, it was a two-bedroom apartment that the hotel had renovated from the former staff quarters. When Zhong Ying returned, Zhong Yuguang had already gone out. Ning Yuheng was tidying up the new apartment. Seeing Zhong Ying return, she asked with concern, "Yingying, have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, Mom." Zhong Ying happily rushed into Ning Yuheng's arms. It had been a long time since anyone had cared for her like this. She felt Ning Yuheng's full and firm chest and couldn't help but look up at her face, saying, "Mom, you're even more beautiful today."
Ning Yuheng didn't deny it, stroking her delicate face and smiling, "When you become a bride, you'll be just as radiant."
After a moment of intimacy, the two separated. Zhong Ying didn't see her father and asked, "Mom, is Dad really going to work today?"
"Yes, he said he had some things to arrange."
"This is your first day of marriage. Can't he even spend one day with you?" Zhong Ying was somewhat disgusted by her father's actions.
Seeing her like that, Ning Yuheng felt it necessary to enlighten her, so she said, "Yingying, men have their careers. If you want to win a man's heart, you can't affect his career. It would be best to support him in that regard."
Zhong Ying couldn't help but think of Fang Zhenyu. Wasn't Ning Yufang just like Ning Yuheng, silently supporting Fang Zhenyu? It seems that the girls in the Ning family all possess a virtuous and gentle nature. She said emotionally, "My dad is so lucky to have married such a virtuous wife and mother like you. His career will definitely achieve even greater success in the future."
Ning Yuheng saw that her young age was already so good at flattery, and thought to herself: "Like father, like daughter." She laughed and scolded, "So it's your turn to encourage me? I heard that you encouraged your dad to bully me! You better watch out, one day I'll settle the score with you."
"This dad, he even betrayed his daughter! He's so greedy for women! I'd rather have my mom from now on." Zhong Ying was a little embarrassed because she didn't expect her father to tell Ning Yuheng about this, but seeing that Ning Yuheng wasn't angry, she started chatting and laughing with her.
After a while, the two stopped playing around. Ning Yuheng said, "Yingying, they sent over the videotape of the National Day Gala. They also added news reports about it from the past two days, as requested by Sister Yufang. Take a look."
"Okay." Zhong Ying took the videotape from Ning Yuheng and put it on. She was also very curious to see how the people of Linhai would react to her this time.
Just like before, the first half of the recording was news, mainly about Zhong Ying. The report stated: "A mysterious guest, recommended by the famous singer Ning Yufang, appeared again at the National Day Gala. Her voice was sweeter than before, her skills were more mature, and she was more beautiful. The audience in Linhai hailed her as 'Little Nightingale.' Many reporters tried to track down the origins of this mysterious guest, 'Little Nightingale,' but singer Ning refused to reveal a single detail. Now, various media outlets are trying their best to track her down." Next came the live recording of the gala.
Zhong Yuguang returned, pleased to see the two getting along so well. At that moment, the television was showing Zhong Ying's program. He noticed two girls, around thirteen or fourteen years old, dancing with Zhong Ying and asked, "Yingying, where did Little Nightingale get these two girls as backup dancers?"
"Are they alright?" Zhong Ying asked instead of answering.
"They already have a solid foundation and are promising talents,"
Zhong Ying said proudly. "That's the foundation for Little Nightingale's future team."
"Your team?" Zhong Yuguang's eyes were full of questions.
"Yes. Teacher Fang picked them out from the first-year students of various middle schools in Linhai. To train them, she even helped them transfer to middle schools in the city. It took a lot of effort," Zhong Ying said honestly, without any concealment. Zhong
Yuguang looked at his daughter and said seriously, "Yingying, that not only takes effort, but also a lot of money. Dad doesn't want you to waste other people's money." He felt that Zhong Ying was indirectly accepting other people's money.
Hearing her father speak so seriously, Zhong Ying was a little at a loss. She looked at Ning Yuheng with some fear and said, "I didn't waste other people's money!" In fact, it was Ning Yufang's idea. She wanted to build a good team for Zhong Ying so that they could go out into the world together after graduation. Moreover, she was the one who handled the specifics, and it had nothing to do with Zhong Ying.
Ning Yuheng was unaware that Zhong Ying and Fang Zhenyu's relationship had become so intimate that they were hugging and embracing, but she knew that he and her second sister must have had an ulterior motive. Not wanting Zhong Ying to be embarrassed, she put her arm around Zhong Ying's slender waist and said, "Don't worry, Yingying didn't take anyone else's money. That money was mine; it was a gift for my precious daughter. My second sister and brother-in-law only spent time and effort."
"Mom," Zhong Ying said, nestled gratefully into Ning Yuheng's arms. She had been worried that her father would investigate further, but now that Ning Yuheng had taken responsibility, everything should be fine.
Zhong Yuguang glanced at Ning Yuheng, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "It cost a lot, didn't it?"
"It did cost a lot, why?"
"You've only been out of school for a short time, where did you get so much money? You're not allowed to ask Zhenyu or Mom for it." Zhong Yuguang questioned her, because she had also spent a considerable amount of money on the wedding.
Ning Yuheng rolled her eyes at him and scolded, "Am I such an unreasonable person?" Despite this, she still explained her source of income to Zhong Yuguang. It turned out that Fang Zhenyu had taken some of the money from Wang Peiying to start his business. After his business succeeded, he divided all his assets proportionally and returned them to Wang Peiying. Wang Peiying then divided her assets into six parts, one for each of her daughters. Therefore, each of them had a considerable monthly income, and Fang Zhenyu covered all household expenses and even gave them a monthly allowance, so the sisters never needed their own money. Finally, she said, "I know you don't like receiving help, so I've told my second brother-in-law not to give me any allowance starting this month. But those shares are mine; I haven't given them up. You don't have any objections, do you?"
Zhong Yuguang was touched by Ning Yuheng's consideration for him in every way. Ignoring his daughter's presence, he kissed her and said, "That's your own property; why would I have any objections?"
"Aren't you ashamed? Your daughter is standing here, and you're still so shameless," Ning Yuheng pushed him away, blushing.
“I think Yingying would be happy to see us so loving. Yingying, don’t you think so?” Zhong Yuguang’s skin thickened unexpectedly; he didn’t let her push him away, but instead hugged him even tighter.
This time, Zhong Ying sided with her father, saying, “Of course.”
“I’m really afraid of you two, father and daughter.” Ning Yuheng stopped struggling and said, “I’ve also invested some money in the development of Jiangxin Island, and I believe there will be returns soon. Yingying is studying art, and it will cost a lot of money to master it. When you treated Jiao’s illness, you had almost spent all your savings, so I have to make some plans.”
“Yuheng!” Zhong Yuguang called out affectionately. He knew that he had found the right person, a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Ning Yuheng returned his smile with a charming smile and said, "I promised Sister Jiao that I would take good care of Yingying and raise her well. Let me make this clear first: the money I have is for Yingying's education. As for living expenses, now that I'm married to you, it's your responsibility. Don't make me go back to my parents' house to find food."
"Don't worry, I would never let my beloved wife go hungry. If that happened, I might as well quit being the Party Secretary of the city." Zhong Yuguang was deeply moved by Ning Yuheng's dedication to the family.
Ning Yuheng continued, "If you're going to be the Party Secretary, you have to take good care of this family, but don't be like those corrupt officials. Don't let someone else ruin our lives."
Hearing Ning Yuheng's words, Zhong Yuguang's ambition surged. He released Ning Yuheng, stood up, and let out a long sigh, saying, "With a wife like this, if I still can't do my job well, I, Zhong Yuguang, might as well drown myself in a basin of water."
Seeing Zhong Yuguang's high spirits, as if he had become much younger, Ning Yuheng felt deeply fortunate to have married such a good husband. She said, "You stay home and rest. Yingying and I will go buy groceries, have lunch, and then go to the provincial capital together. We'll first visit Sister Jiao and tell her about our situation. Then, we'll send Yingying back to Beijing and start our honeymoon. You still have a few days off, right?"
Seeing that Ning Yuheng had arranged everything, what more could Zhong Yuguang say? He said, "Of course, but it's only a week's vacation."
"A week is enough. Any more would affect my work. The construction of Baiyutan has hired several foreigners, and they need me to come back as their translator!" Ning Yuheng said understandingly.
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll make some preparations. This time when we go to the provincial capital, I'll go with you to see Secretary Xu and report on our work over the past few days. He's also very eager to meet you, this virtuous and beautiful woman."
"Don't be shy, is it appropriate to praise your wife like that?"
"That's what Secretary Xu said. Of course, my wife is indeed virtuous, Yingying, don't you think?"
Zhong Ying was happy to see how well the two got along, and smiled, "I find it a bit cheesy, but! I don't know if your wife is virtuous or not, but I've found a good mother. Sister Heng, let's go buy groceries." With that, she went out the door first. Ning Yuheng and Zhong Yuguang smiled at each other, both feeling the warmth of family. They hugged and kissed, and Ning Yuheng followed Zhong Ying out.

(Volume 3) Chapter 3 Night in the Provincial Capital

Chapter 3 Night in the Provincial Capital
On the morning of Sunday, October 3, 1993,
Zhan Dajun from the port area had breakfast and returned to Fang Zhenyu's room. She prepared her things and was about to go to Jinhua Village when the phone rang. She picked up the receiver and heard it was Mayor Chen Xiangdong calling, saying that an inspection team from the province was coming to inspect their work and that they should prepare. Zhan Dajun asked what kind of work they were inspecting, but Chen Xiangdong didn't specify and hung up. In the past, people had come to the port area for inspections, but these were always routine inspections. Now, the mayor himself was calling; it seemed something was amiss. Fang Zhenyu hadn't arrived in the city yet. She called Fang's family and learned he was at the printing factory. Zhan Dajun then called the Dongfang Printing Factory and indeed found Fang Zhenyu there. Fang Zhenyu didn't say anything, only telling Zhan Dajun to receive him as usual, without needing to make any preparations, and that he would return to the port area immediately.
Zhan Dajun hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and feeling uneasy, headed towards Wu Xuedong's office, where he happened to run into Zhang Hong. Upon seeing Zhan Dajun, Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Deputy Zhan, what brings you here today? You've never been to our Industrial Management Committee before."
After several months of getting to know each other and seeing Zhang Hong's recent performance, Zhan Dajun had already let go of his prejudice against her. It was just that Fang Zhenyu frequently returned to the city or went to the docks and Baiyutan, keeping Zhan Dajun too busy to even visit the Industrial Management Committee office, which was right across the street. She couldn't help but apologize, saying, "Secretary Zhang, please don't take offense. You know I've really been busy. Today, however, something important has come up, and I had to come and consult you two gentlemen."
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Never mind, everyone knows you're General Manager Fang's right-hand man. Tell me, how can we help?" She used the word "hand man" in a rather ambiguous way.
Zhan Dajun didn't have time for jokes. He first recounted Chen Xiangdong's phone call and then said, "I have a feeling this inspection is a bit unusual, which is why I've come to consult you two."
Hearing this, Zhang and Wu fell into thought. Indeed, they had never experienced anything like this before, with the mayor personally calling to order an inspection. Wu Xuedong wasn't very familiar with this either, so he turned his gaze to Zhang Hong and asked, "Sister Hong, what do you think of this?" Zhang Hong
had originally been in Chen Xiangdong's camp and knew him quite well, knowing he never did anything that didn't benefit him. But what would the inspection team be looking for? She knew Chen Xiangdong's biggest wish was to bring down Zhong Yuguang, and the port development was Zhong Yuguang's mainstay. It seemed there must be something in Fang Zhenyu's company that he considered worth targeting. So she said, "Dajun, what have you been doing lately? Have you done anything out of line?"
"No, you know how President Fang demands of us. He's the kind of person who doesn't like to say one thing to your face and another behind your back," Zhan Dajun said. The company's business has always operated normally. Fang Zhenyu always said that whatever needs to be done, it must be done through proper channels, not through underhanded means, especially when there's disunity within the municipal party committee. This is crucial to avoid hindering port development.
Seeing that Zhan Dajun had misunderstood her, Zhang Hong shared her understanding of Chen Xiangdong and said, "Since there's nothing wrong, let them come. Let's see what tricks they can pull. But Dajun, you should think carefully and see if there's any loophole they can exploit. If it's his group, they're all cunning and insidious."
"Okay," Zhan Dajun replied, seeing he hadn't found a solution, and prepared to leave.
Zhang Hong stopped her and asked, "When will President Fang arrive?"
"He's trying to get there as soon as possible."
"Go back and handle things the way you normally would. Don't worry about it too much. Xue Dong and I don't have anything important to do today, so we'll stay and see what tricks they're up to." A woman's emotions can be incredibly fickle. The moment she discovered Chen Xiangdong had lied to her, Zhang Hong immediately sided with Fang Zhenyu, especially after surviving Tropical Storm No. 5; she was even more devoted to him.
"Understood, thank you!" Zhan Dajun said gratefully. She had also noticed Zhang Hong's change in attitude, shook her hand tightly, and then returned to her office. Just as Zhang Hong had said, they needed to think carefully about what might have happened recently. If nothing was wrong, then they weren't afraid of anyone.
Zhan Dajun went to the office, told everyone about the situation, asked for their help, and made some preparations before returning to Fang Zhenyu's room. She rarely dealt with such matters and therefore didn't know what to prepare. She thought to herself, "If only Xu Xiangjun were here. Xu Xiangjun comes from an official family and would handle these things with ease. It's a pity she's on leave and back in the provincial capital."
Less than an hour after Zhan Dajun received the call, a large group arrived, led by Nong Shutang, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. It seemed the inspection team had already set off when Chen Xiangdong called the head office. Zhan Dajun led them to the conference room, where Nong Shutang introduced them. Zhan Dajun was even more surprised; it turned out to be an inspection team from the provincial audit office. Looking at their serious faces, Zhan Dajun wondered what important matter his company had that warranted an investigation by the provincial authorities.
"Where's Chairman Fang?" Nong Shutang asked, his face expressionless.
Zhan Dajun composed himself and replied, "He's in the city on business; he'll be there soon."
"Oh, probably running some kind of printing group?" a middle-aged woman in her forties from the inspection team said maliciously.
Zhan Dajun thought to himself: What does it have to do with you? But she remained calm and replied, "Perhaps so. President Fang has undertaken a lot of work for Linhai. We subordinates sometimes don't even know what he's doing, we only know that he has paid a great price for Linhai's economic development."
"Hey, even Deputy General Manager Zhan is so protective of him, no wonder many people in Linhai say that Fang Zhenyu got his position by relying on women?" the woman said. She wanted to continue, but the team leader surnamed Jian stopped her.
Zhan Dajun gave her a disdainful look, didn't argue with her, and instead asked Nong Shutang and Team Leader Jian, "Leaders, just say what you want to inspect. I am the deputy general manager, and I have the right to speak. I will cooperate with you. As for whether our President Fang got his position by relying on this lady, I'm very busy, so please forgive me for not having time to discuss it." She cleverly shifted the woman's ambiguous words to her.
"Zhan Dajun, you..." The woman's name was Feng Lihua, the wife of a provincial leader. Who had ever dared to speak to her like that? Therefore, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Zhan Dajun laughed, "What's wrong with me? I'm a woman, aren't you a woman too?" She had met many high-ranking people, and influenced by Fang Zhenyu, she never flattered anyone, so she didn't take her seriously.
"Deputy General Manager Zhan, we're here today to understand your company's financial expenditures, so please call the people from the finance department over, and you can also leave." Nong Shutang had initially watched them talk with amusement, but seeing the tension rising, he didn't want to escalate the situation, so he spoke gently to Zhan Dajun.
Zhan Dajun saw the woman's face darken and felt a little regretful. Angering these people wouldn't affect him personally, at most he'd quit, but it wouldn't benefit the entire port's construction, especially Fang Zhenyu. She didn't care much about the port itself, but she didn't want it to harm Fang Zhenyu. Therefore, when Nong Shutang spoke, she responded and left.
The finance department actually only had Qian Daixin and Li Wei. After Zhan Dajun let them go, he and Xu Tongfang stayed there to keep watch. Soon, the two returned, carrying a large stack of account books. She stopped Qian Daixin and asked, "Section Chief Qian, what are they looking for?"
"Who knows?" Qian Daixin said as he walked out, "They're mainly looking at the accounts from the recent period."
"What could they possibly be looking at from the recent period?" Zhan Dajun wondered. She had always managed the head office's financial affairs and there hadn't been anything amiss; she couldn't figure out what these people were looking for. Since that was the case, she relaxed and started doing her work.
"Deputy Zhan, they want to see you." A short while later, Li Wei came to call her.
Zhan Dajun looked at Li Wei and asked, "What's the matter?"
"They want to freeze our accounts."
"Why?"
Li Wei said, "They say there's a problem with a payment we made." She paused briefly, then added, "I think they're after General Manager Fang, because I feel they're interested in the money paid to the printing factory."
Zhan Dajun thought for a moment, then remembered that she had transferred money to the printing factory a few days ago, but it was just normal business dealings, what was there to investigate? Thinking this, she walked towards the conference room. As soon as she entered, she heard the woman inside saying something about Fang Zhenyu abusing his power for personal gain, but she immediately shut up upon seeing her. She pretended not to hear and asked, "May I ask what business the leaders have with me?"
"We want to freeze your company's accounts," the woman said arrogantly before the team leader, Jian, could speak.
Team Leader Jian had no choice but to say, "Yes, we want to temporarily freeze your company's books."
"Why?"
"We feel some of your company's accounts are unclear."
"What are you referring to?"
"We are investigating. Once we've clarified things, we'll naturally let you know." Team Leader Jian didn't elaborate.
Zhan Dajun looked at Nong Shutang, only to see his blank expression, and said, "What you're doing will affect our company's operations, which is extremely detrimental to the development and construction of our port."
Feng Lihua sneered, "Some people are trying to use the port development as an opportunity to embezzle state-owned assets. Fortunately, we discovered it early; otherwise, even with several more ports, it wouldn't be enough for those big parasites."
"Lihua, don't speak recklessly without verification." Team Leader Jian finally couldn't tolerate Feng Lihua's actions any longer. After stopping Feng Lihua, he said to Zhan Dajun, "For the sake of your company's future reputation, I think you should let us investigate."
Feng Lihua looked resentful, but she was quite smug towards Zhan Dajun.
Seeing that it was unavoidable, Zhan Dajun was extremely anxious. Sealing the accounts wouldn't be a matter of just a day or two, but the company had a lot of business dealings recently, and every day of delay could result in significant losses. So he turned to Nong Shutang for help, saying, "Secretary Nong, you know our company very well, can you say something?"
Nong Shutang replied calmly, "Since the province thinks you have a problem, let them investigate thoroughly."
Just as Zhan Dajun was wondering what to do, a Mitsubishi Jeep drove into the compound. Fang Zhenyu jumped out of the car and walked towards the conference room. As if she had found a pillar of support, she went to meet them, ignoring everyone else, and told them about the inspection team's intention to seal the accounts.
Fang Zhenyu entered the conference room, greeted Nong Shutang, and, through Nong's introduction, met the members of the inspection team. He then said, "The inspection team's visit to check our accounts shows their concern and responsibility, which we certainly welcome. How about this? I'd like you to stay here and examine the accounts at your own pace. Don't seal the accounts, because sealing them will affect our project's progress."
Team Leader Jian hesitated, about to speak, when Feng Lihua interjected, "No, how can we investigate clearly without sealing the accounts?"
At this moment, Nong Shutang spoke up, saying, "Director Feng, with a little effort, you can investigate clearly whether the accounts are sealed or not. Many units do it this way, don't they?"
Feng Lihua knew this was possible, but how could she stay here? Besides, she was still furious with Zhan Dajun. Thinking to himself, "Who am I afraid of?" he insisted, "That's only for ordinary units. How can we investigate a company this big and complex if we don't seal it off?"
Team Leader Jian looked at Nong Shutang, then at Feng Lihua, and said, "Let's do as Director Feng says and seal it off." Actually, he had weighed the matter in his mind for a long time. He knew Nong Shutang and the others' approach was better, but he didn't want to offend Feng Lihua. Although he was a deputy director-general and Feng Lihua was just a section chief, Feng Lihua had powerful backing. He wasn't going to risk offending someone who might bring him trouble for the sake of Linhai.
Zhan Dajun was tense when Fang Zhenyu said, "Okay, seal it off. Bring the sealing warrant."
Sealing off a unit's account books requires certain procedures and formalities, but Feng Lihua, thinking herself to be from the provincial level, didn't believe she needed any warrants. He said, "Why do you need a seizure certificate to investigate such a small company like yours?"
"Our company may be small, but it's legal. Whatever you want to investigate, you should follow the legal procedures."
Feng Lihua became angry and said to her subordinates, "Seal up the accounting books. I don't believe that the dignified Audit Department can't investigate your small company?"
The inspection team didn't move, but looked at Team Leader Jian. They heard Fang Zhenyu say, "You can seal it up, but you will be responsible for all the consequences. Deputy General Manager Zhan, call Attorney Deng and tell her to come down immediately. Zhang Lei, call Tongfang. Anyone who dares to take the company's accounting books will be detained. I will be responsible for all the consequences."
"Yes." Zhan Dajun and Zhang Lei responded without hesitation and left.
"Fang Zhenyu, you dare to detain a leader from the province?" Feng Lihua screamed.
Nong Shutang was also greatly surprised. He didn't know what gave Fang Zhenyu the audacity to do this. Even Zhong Yuguang couldn't protect him from such illegal acts.
Fang Zhenyu sneered, "Are you leaders from the province? Where are your letters of introduction and work permits? I think we ordinary people know to abide by the law, and our superiors should be even more exemplary in this regard. How can you, without any procedures, come to check our accounts and seal them up? You can do such illegal things without any regard for reason. How can you be the cadres trained by our Party?" Team Leader
Jian and Feng Lihua couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances. People from higher up like them were usually welcomed when they arrived in the local area, so who would check their identities? Therefore, they didn't have any letters of introduction or work permits with them. Team Leader Jian looked at Nong Shutang, hoping he would help, but seeing his smiling face, he knew he wouldn't help him. He couldn't help but glare at Feng Lihua, regretting his lack of assertiveness.
Nong Shutang felt relieved when he heard Fang Zhenyu bring up the law. Seeing that Jian Feng and the others remained silent, and not wanting them to be too embarrassed, Fang Zhenyu said, "President Fang, Team Leader Jian and the others were just momentarily negligent. How about this, Team Leader Jian, you can either check the accounts here, or go back and get the seizure documents. I'll testify to you that they are indeed leaders from the Provincial Audit Office. Is that alright?"
Fang Zhenyu, however, didn't let up and asked, "I also want to know, is Secretary Nong providing this testimony in his personal capacity or in the capacity of the organization?"
"Of course, in my personal capacity," Nong Shutang replied, as he didn't have any identification.
Fang Zhenyu looked at Team Leader Jian and asked, "Jian Pingzhi, what do you say?"
Team Leader Jian's full name was Jian Pingzhi. Hearing Fang Zhenyu address him by his first name, he knew that Fang Zhenyu treated them as ordinary people, or even criminals. If he insisted on seizing the assets, Fang Zhenyu might not even give Nong Shutang any face. Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to back down, saying, "Alright, Director Feng, let's check here."
Having reached this point, how could Feng Lihua dare to speak again? She had no choice but to agree.
Next, Fang Zhenyu arranged for them to be settled in and instructed Qian Daixin to fully cooperate with them. Nong Shutang returned to the city to bring them their luggage.
"Zhenyu, you really have a way with things. This time, Attorney Deng doesn't need to come down, right? She has a court hearing this afternoon and some other things to take care of, so
she won't be down until tomorrow." Zhan Dajun, having finished watching Fang Zhenyu's confrontation with Jian Feng and the others, returned to Fang Zhenyu's room first. Seeing Fang Zhenyu return, her beautiful eyes showed immense admiration. Fang Zhenyu was used to this look from her and smiled, "Do you think they'll give in so easily? This is just the beginning. You should have Zhang Lei or Tong Fang pick up Tingfang early tomorrow morning."
"Could they possibly be up to some trick?" Zhan Dajun asked doubtfully.
Fang Zhenyu laughed, "It's really remarkable that you've managed to do so much business before, and you didn't even realize that someone wanted them to cause trouble."
"Have I become stupid since following you?" Zhan Dajun said shyly, but inwardly she became wary. If things continued like this, she and Fang Zhenyu would no longer be on the same page. After a moment's thought, he said, "They're interested in the money we transferred to the printing factory. That's normal business dealings; let them investigate. What we need to do is find out how they knew we transferred money to the printing factory."
An internal traitor is a major threat to any organization, and this was precisely the problem Fang Zhenyu was considering. Hearing Zhan Dajun's explanation, he praised, "That's my good assistant. You'll handle this."
"Yes," Zhan Dajun replied confidently, overjoyed at his beloved's praise, and went off to attend to his own business.
On the afternoon of Sunday, October 3, 1993, Zhong
Yuguang brought Ning Yuheng into Xu Guanghua's house. Xu Guanghua was taking a walk in the small garden. Upon seeing Ning Yuheng, without Zhong Yuguang's introduction, he smiled and said, "You must be Ning Yuheng, the one who captivated my municipal party secretary? You're indeed remarkable; no wonder Yuguang praised you so highly."
Ning Yuheng was a little embarrassed when Zhong Ying, who was following behind her, stepped forward, hugged Xu Guanghua's neck, kissed him, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa Xu, of course my mother is wonderful. With my father's discerning eye, how could he have chosen the wrong person?"
Xu Guanghua... He laughed and kissed Zhong Ying on the cheek, saying with a chuckle, "Yingying, you're all grown up now, and I heard you've become a great artist, yet you're still so mischievous?"
Zhong Yuguang felt it was somewhat inappropriate for his daughter to tease Xu Guanghua like that, but didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, Zhong Ying wasn't being too forward, and bowed to Xu Guanghua, saying, "No matter how much I grow up, in your eyes, I'm still just a child."
Xu Guanghua smiled and invited Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng into the house, laughing, "You haven't visited Grandpa in so long. Grandpa thought you'd forgotten about this old man now that you're famous!"
"How could that be? Yingying's busy with her exams. Besides, you sent my father to Linhai, so I had to go there during my holidays. How could I have time to visit you?"
As they spoke, they entered the living room. Xu Guanghua had the three sit down before saying, "What? You're upset that I sent your father to Linhai? Don't you think that if I hadn't done that, how would he have married such a beautiful and virtuous wife?"
"Yes, that's like you found me a good mother. Mom, don't you think?" Zhong Ying snuggled into Ning Yuheng's arms, acting coquettishly.
"If you keep being naughty, I won't want you as my daughter anymore." Ning Yuheng was a little embarrassed, but she clearly loved Zhong Ying very much. Zhong
Ying then sat down properly. Just then, the nanny brought tea. Xu Guanghua said to Ning Yuheng, "Yuheng, seeing how well you two get along, I'm relieved. I was really worried that a bad relationship between you two might affect Yuguang's work. Yuguang often treats this place as her home, so you should treat it as your home too."
"Secretary Xu, I will." Seeing how approachable Xu Guanghua was, Ning Yuheng felt much more at ease.
Zhong Yuguang, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, asked, "Secretary Guanghua, where are Sister Wu and Xiangjun? Isn't Xiangjun still on vacation at home?"
"They? They heard you were coming, so they went out to buy groceries. They said they wanted to cook some of their best dishes to entertain you. Even I don't usually get to enjoy such delicious food," Xu Guanghua said with a smile.
Zhong Yuguang said apologetically, "How could I trouble Sister Wu?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Xiangjun's sweet laughter rang out: "Zhong Yuguang, don't think you're so great just because you're the Party Secretary. We're not here to entertain you; we're here to entertain Yuheng and Xiaoying." As she spoke, Xu Xiangjun's graceful figure appeared at the door, carrying a large basket of vegetables, followed by Madam Xu with Xiaojian in tow.
As soon as Xiaojian saw Ning Yuheng, he rushed over, sweetly calling out, "Aunt Heng, Xiaojian missed you so much!"
"Aunt Heng missed Xiaojian too!" Ning Yuheng kissed Xiaojian on the cheek before introducing him to Madam Xu, thanks to Zhong Yuguang's explanation.
Wu Rong looked Ning Yuheng up and down for a while, making Ning Yuheng a little embarrassed, before saying, "She's a good girl. Yuguang is truly blessed to have married you. Yuguang, you mustn't bully Yuheng, otherwise, I, your elder sister, will be the first to punish you."
Zhong Yuguang smiled wryly, "You all side with her, even Yingying is on her side instead of me, how could I dare to bully her? It's good enough if she doesn't bully me."
Ning Yuheng was very moved to see everyone protecting her, and said, "Sister Wu, Yuguang treats me very well."
"Yuheng? You're doomed! In just a few days, Zhong Yuguang has already captured you," Xu Xiangjun, who had just finished setting out the dishes, laughed. Everyone couldn't help but laugh, filled with the warmth of family.
After chatting for a while, Ning Yuheng and Xu Xiangjun went to cook, while Wu Rong took Yingying and Xiaojian out to play, leaving only Xu Guanghua and Zhong Yuguang in the living room. Xu Guanghua sighed, "Yuguang, I'm completely relieved after seeing Yuheng. She's not a vain person; she'll be a good helpmate to you. You must cherish her!"
"Secretary Guanghua, I know," Zhong Yuguang replied, secretly delighted. He had been a little worried that Xu Guanghua might have reservations about him marrying such a young wife.
"Tell me, what changes have occurred in Linhai?" Xu Guanghua steered the conversation back to work.
"The situation is excellent," Zhong Yuguang said confidently, with a hint of pride.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Xu Guanghua knew this subordinate wasn't one to boast, and seeing his demeanor, he sensed that Linhai had indeed undergone significant changes and development.
So, Zhong Yuguang recounted the various aspects of Linhai's situation, focusing primarily on port construction. Indeed, the changes there have been significant: the highway to the port is now fully open, the construction of the wharf and the development of the tourist area are progressing smoothly, and construction has begun on Linglong Island. Thanks to Shangguan Hao's recommendation, many overseas Chinese businessmen have developed a strong interest in Linhai Port, and many have written and called to inquire about projects in the development zone. Zhong Yuguang, while speaking, took out a large stack of materials, saying, "These are the investment projects for the port development zone that Fang Zhenyu and his team are working on. If these projects are truly completed in Linhai Port, Linhai will take off."
Xu Guanghua took the materials, placed them on the table, and said, "I'll take another look when I have time, to see if it's as good as you say."
"You should still take some time to visit Linhai. I guarantee what you'll see will be even better than what I'm saying." Zhong Yuguang very much hoped that Xu Guanghua could visit Linhai, as it would greatly promote Linhai's development.
Xu Guanghua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will go." He then changed the subject, talking to Zhong Yuguang about the leadership team building in Linhai. From his words, Zhong Yuguang sensed that he was quite knowledgeable about the situation in Linhai.
Soon, Xu Xiangjun and Ning Yuheng had prepared the meal. The group ate and chatted, mostly about daily life, including many things related to Fang Zhenyu. When Fang Zhenyu was mentioned, even Zhong Ying and Xiao Jian chimed in, piquing Wu Rong's interest. She was eager to see what kind of man this was who could make her daughter willingly become his lover. With a woman's intuition, she also noticed that her daughter truly had no lingering feelings for Zhong Yuguang, and that Ning Yuheng treated both Zhong Yuguang and Zhong Ying very well. What reassured her even more was that Ning Yuheng's kindness towards Xiao Jian wasn't feigned; Xiao Jian had a deep affection for Ning Yuheng, meaning Xiao Jian's life in Linhai wouldn't be a worry.
After dinner, Xu Guanghua and Zhong Yuguang continued their conversation about their careers, while Madam Xu called Ning Yuheng to her room for a chat. When she learned how much effort Ning Yuheng had put into raising Zhong Ying, she was deeply moved and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want your own child?"
Ning Yuheng replied sincerely, "What woman doesn't want to be a mother?"
"Then why don't you hurry up?"
"Not yet!" Ning Yuheng sighed.
"Why? Is it Yingying's problem? I'll talk to him." Wu Rong was very concerned about this matter. Actually, she was more concerned for Zhong Yuguang, because she felt that the age difference between Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng was too great; having a child would make it easier to maintain the relationship.
Ning Yuheng never expected her to have such thoughts. She honestly replied, "Yingying isn't a problem. I want to raise Yingying well first, and Yuguang also needs time to get the birth certificate."
Wu Rong thought it made sense, and also sensed Ning Yuheng's deep affection for Zhong Yuguang. It seemed her worries were in vain. She couldn't help but sigh, "Why do we women only think of men and never of ourselves?"
Ning Yuheng said, "Perhaps my thinking is too conservative. I always believe that men are the sky and women are the earth. Without the protection of the sky, the earth has no vitality. In this life, it's not easy to find a good man, and it's even harder to find a good man who loves you. How can I not cherish him?"
Madam Xu didn't think Ning Yuheng's thinking was conservative, because she shared the same view. However, Ning Yuheng's words reminded her of Xu Xiangjun. She couldn't help but sigh, "Your thinking has its reasons, but I wonder where our Xiang'er's sky is?"
Where? Isn't it just like mine, in Linhai? Ning Yuheng thought to herself that she had also seen Xu Xiangjun's feelings for Fang Zhenyu, and knew that she would eventually inevitably fall into Fang Zhenyu's arms. Of course, she couldn't say this to Wu Rong, so she could only say, "Sister Xiang is so beautiful and capable, she will definitely find the sky she needs."
"Maybe!" Wu Rong felt a little down thinking that her daughter was going to be someone's lover, but then she thought that as long as her daughter was happy, why bother with so much? So she let it go and said, "You young people have your own ideas, I can't interfere with that. Come on, let's go see Yingying and Xiaojian."
The two went out of the living room, but Zhong Yuguang and Xu Guanghua were nowhere to be seen. It turned out that they had finished their conversation and gone outside to play with the two children. So the group chatted about everyday things in the small garden until after ten o'clock, when Zhong Yuguang finally left the Xu family with Ning Yuheng and Zhong Ying.
The provincial capital was brightly lit, and the noise could still be faintly heard, but the courtyard was very quiet. The three walked along a quiet path leading to the main street. Ning Yuheng said, "This Secretary Xu is quite easygoing."
Zhong Yuguang replied, "Yes, he treats people very well, especially talented people. He gives them opportunities to develop, and he's honest and selfless, so he's highly respected by his subordinates. But anyone who tries to do anything underhanded with him will absolutely fail."
"Only someone like him can truly advance China's cause. You are that kind of person, and so is my brother-in-law. I, Ning Yuheng, am truly blessed to have you as my teachers, friends, and family." Ning Yuheng said with deep feeling. She herself was an ambitious person, but after marrying Zhong Yuguang, she feared that her career aspirations would be somewhat diminished.
Zhong Yuguang was deeply moved and was about to say something when Zhong Ying said with a sweet laugh, "Mom and Dad, you're here for your honeymoon, not to discuss work. Let's leave these things for when the vacation is over." She took Zhong Yuguang's hand in one hand and Ning Yuheng's in the other, and walked towards the street outside.
Zhong Yuguang and Ning Yuheng smiled at each other, both feeling the warmth of family, and quickly followed Zhong Ying outside.
On Tuesday evening, October 5, 1993, at Deng Tingfang's house,
Fang Zhenyu skillfully drove his Sanling Jeep along the highway leading to the provincial capital, with Deng Tingfang sitting beside him.
Deng Tingfang leaned back in her seat, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, a sweet smile on her face. Zhang Lei had picked her up in Linhai on the morning of the 3rd. Fang Zhenyu's guess was correct; someone was sabotaging the inspection team's visit to the port development zone. Originally, the inspection team was only conducting a routine inspection in Linhai and had no plans to visit the development zone. However, someone reported to them that the Port Development and Investment Corporation was embezzling public funds and converting public funds into private assets. They then made a last-minute decision, and with Chen Xiangdong's encouragement, they went to the port. Unexpectedly, they encountered Fang Zhenyu, a tough nut to crack. Under Nong Shutang's mediation, they agreed not to seal the accounts and to conduct an on-site investigation. They found nothing illegal, and Team Leader Jian suggested letting it go. However, Feng Lihua couldn't swallow her anger and had someone obtain the necessary permits from the provincial government to seal not only the Port Development and Investment Corporation's accounts but also those of the Dongfang Printing Factory. Fortunately, Fang Zhenyu didn't take it lightly and brought in Deng Tingfang. Deng Tingfang spent nearly two days explaining from a legal perspective that they had to complete the investigation within a specified time, or face all political and economic consequences, thus preventing significant inconvenience to their work.
In the afternoon, after forcing Jian and Feng to sign the legal documents, Deng Tingfang went back to the Fang family home for dinner. She told Fang Zhenyu that she had to go to court early the next morning and had some materials to rush to finish that evening. Fang Zhenyu also had to attend the highway hearing at the Department of Transportation early the next morning. So the two of them rushed to the provincial capital after dinner.
The car drove into the brightly lit provincial capital. The bright lights made Deng Tingfang open her eyes. "We're here?" She glanced at Fang Zhenyu.
"Yes." Fang Zhenyu focused on driving.
"The Transportation Department hasn't arranged any activities tonight, has it?"
"No."
"Then how about you accompany me around tonight?"
"Don't you have some materials to prepare?" Fang Zhenyu asked in surprise.
"Yes. But not much. Give me an hour, and I can finish it. It's only eight o'clock now; nine o'clock is when the nightlife really begins." Deng Tingfang blushed slightly. Actually, she didn't have any materials to prepare. She just wanted to take the opportunity to be alone with Fang Zhenyu after hearing that he was going to the provincial capital for a meeting.
"Sure!" Fang Zhenyu had nothing to do anyway, and the long night was hard to pass. Having a beautiful woman accompany him was naturally a good thing.
"Then let's go to your hotel first, and then you can take me home."
Fang Zhenyu then went to the hotel that the Transportation Department had booked for him, put his things away, and then drove Deng Tingfang home. Deng Tingfang's home was a quaint little villa in a very quiet environment, complete with its own garage. After parking the car in the garage and entering the house with Deng Tingfang, he realized that she was all alone. He couldn't help but ask, "Where are your family members?"
A hint of sadness flashed across Deng Tingfang's face as she replied, "My parents have both passed away, and I have no siblings. Who else is there? If anyone is, it's the cleaning lady who comes here to help with cleaning."
"I'm sorry!"
"It's nothing. I'm used to living alone. I just hope that someone will remember me sometimes and stay here for a night or two to offer me some comfort. How is it? My place isn't any worse than yours, is it?" Deng Tingfang perked up.
"Very good." Fang Zhenyu didn't seem to notice the underlying meaning in Deng Tingfang's words.
Deng Tingfang made Fang Zhenyu a cup of tea and said, "You can watch some TV for a while. I really have to work now."
"Go ahead and
do your work," Fang Zhenyu said. Deng Tingfang went into the study, controlled her emotions, and diligently completed her work. She wasn't wrong; several cases were indeed waiting for her after returning to the provincial capital, but they weren't as serious as she made them out to be. Those materials were dispensable; she only said that because she wanted Fang Zhenyu to keep her company. So, she came out of the study after only half an hour, stretched, and laughed, "Finally, I can have some fun."
"Where should we go?" Fang Zhenyu asked.
Deng Tingfang didn't answer. She went to the stereo, put on a dance song, and came to Fang Zhenyu, saying, "Let's not worry about where we go for now. Will you dance with me?"
Fang Zhenyu couldn't refuse, so he stood up and embraced Deng Tingfang, dancing gracefully. Deng Tingfang was very excited, holding Fang Zhenyu tightly as they twirled around in the small living room. She pressed her face against Fang Zhenyu's broad chest and said softly, "Zhenyu, let's not go out tonight, let's just talk it out at home, okay?"
Fang Zhenyu had been with many women, so he naturally understood Deng Tingfang's words. Knowing he couldn't refuse, he could only say, "Tingfang, I know you love me, but I no longer have that chance."
"Who said that?" Deng Tingfang hugged Fang Zhenyu even tighter and said, "I studied law, so of course I know about bigamy, but I don't require you to be very intimate with me, just to hang out occasionally. Don't say I have no intention of settling down now; even if I did, facing Yufang's innocent face, I couldn't bring myself to take away what she loves."
Fang Zhenyu was speechless and could only hold Deng Tingfang tightly in his arms. After a long while, he said, "Then you should understand that there's no possibility between us."
"Didn't I say that I just wanted someone to stay with me for a night or two?" Deng Tingfang said softly.
"Tingfang!" Fang Zhenyu didn't know what to do, so he could only hold Deng Tingfang tightly.
Deng Tingfang knew that Fang Zhenyu had been captured by her, so she let go of him and said, "Zhenyu, don't think about anything else. I know about your situation. I won't break up your family. I just want to have the one I love."
"Tingfang, with your conditions, do you think it's worth it?" Fang Zhenyu still wanted to avoid having a romantic relationship with Deng Tingfang.
Deng Tingfang said, "Of course I know my conditions. Finding a good husband isn't difficult, but finding a lover is. Whether male or female, physical needs are unavoidable. I haven't found a good one, so you'll have to make do."
Having said that, what could Fang Zhenyu say? He could only let Deng Tingfang do as she pleased. The two entered Deng Tingfang's bedroom. Deng Tingfang took the initiative to undress Fang Zhenyu, gently caressing his body. She said softly, "Zhenyu, you don't think I'm lewd, do you?"
Hearing Deng Tingfang's words, Fang Zhenyu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. If this wasn't lewd, then what was? Of course, he dared not say so, only replying, "How could I be?"
In truth, Deng Tingfang didn't care about such things. She was content as long as she received Fang Zhenyu's love. She was already very happy that he hadn't rejected her. Immediately, she used both her mouth and hands, her cherry-like lips kissing Fang Zhenyu's entire body while her hands removed his clothes. In the end, both of them were completely naked.
Having reached this point, Fang Zhenyu could no longer restrain himself and said, "Fang, let's take a bath together!"
Deng Tingfang wasn't inexperienced with men and naturally knew what a bath was all about, so she said, "Okay," and pulled Fang Zhenyu into the bathroom.
At this point, Fang Zhenyu knew exactly what to do. Before long, he brought Deng Tingfang to the peak of her desire. Deng Tingfang finally couldn't hold back any longer and moaned, "Good man, give it to me quickly. You are the sun in my heart. Everything I have is yours. I will serve you forever."
Only then did Fang Zhenyu begin his real assault. He opened Deng Tingfang's jade gate with one hand and thrust his strong little brother into her tender embrace with the other. Right there in the bathroom, he brought Deng Tingfang to the highest realm between man and woman, leaving her breathless and speechless.
After a long while, the two emerged from the bathroom and lay down in Deng Tingfang's warm and feminine bed. Deng Tingfang gently stroked the treasure that had brought her to paradise and praised, "Jade, this thing of yours is so good."
Fang Zhenyu also caressed her two small, mountain-like breasts and responded, "You are beautiful too!"
They whispered sweet nothings, and soon, Fang Zhenyu's desire returned. Deng Tingfang was startled and said, "You're already thinking about it?"
"Of course." Fang Zhenyu made her kiss his little brother, and he tasted her juicy peach. When they were both extremely eager, they began their real battle.
This time in bed, there were even more tricks. Although Deng Tingfang had been with two men before, she had never experienced a man as long-lasting and versatile as Fang Zhenyu. Fang Zhenyu not only had many women, but every woman, including his wife, liked him to try different things on her. Naturally, Deng Tingfang not only received the most beautiful enjoyment, but also experienced the novelty and excitement of lovemaking. When they came down from their climax again, she hugged Fang Zhenyu tightly and murmured, "Zhenyu, I am so happy to have you. Thank God for sending you to me!" As she spoke, she fell into a deep sleep.
Fang Zhenyu woke up early in the morning, and Deng Tingfang had already prepared breakfast for him. Like a true wife, she served him breakfast, saw him to his car, gave him a sweet kiss, and said affectionately, "Treat this place as your home. Come back for lunch, okay?"
Faced with Deng Tingfang's affection, Fang Zhenyu didn't know what to do. He kissed her back and said, "I won't come back for lunch; that wouldn't be right. But I'll come back to keep you company tonight, okay?"
"I'll do whatever you say, my husband," Deng Tingfang said gently, while inwardly cursing herself for being so foolish. How could she ask Fang Zhenyu to do that? Not only does he have a lot of work to do, but he also frequents this place, which would give others something to gossip about.
Fang Zhenyu was pleased to see how understanding she was, so he gave her another sweet kiss before driving away with her tenderness in his heart.
