Chapter 237: Chapter 237: I Gently Cover Your Eyes (Thanks to Rifle Bullet+ Update)

Zhang Dashan stood at the door with a bag of fruit and a beaming smile.

"I had to ask so many people to find you, you are really low-key."

Zhang Dashan passed the Principal and Suizi and went straight to Director Zhen in the innermost part.

The Principal’s mouth gaped open, taken aback by this scene.

Suizi lowered her gaze to hide her surprise.

She guessed that this elderly woman belonged to the Department of Education, as she used a cup imprinted with the words "Education Bureau".

But she didn’t expect that she was the Director.

Zhang Dashan was all about buttering up the leadership, her eyes glued to the old lady, she had no interest in anyone else in the room.

"My goodness, you have worked tirelessly your whole life, how can you stay in such a place? It really pains me to see this..."

Zhang Dashan wiped her teary eyes, her tone filled with sincerity, as if she was truly heartbroken.

Suizi almost believed her at the edge of the room.

"I often mention you to my husband, he admires you so much--eh?!" Zhang Dashan raised her head and locked eyes with the Principal.

As their gazes met, a silence fell between them.

Wang Mengmeng, who was lying on the bed, sat upright suddenly and pointed at Director Zhen and asked:

"Her, her?! She is the Director?!"

"She’s our newly transferred Director Zhen! Have you met her before?" Zhang Dashan noticed that her husband’s expression was off.

Zhang Dashan had put great effort into establishing a connection with Director Zhen.

The old lady had the reputation of being tough and rigid. Afraid of being rejected if she visited with gifts directly, Zhang Dashan came up with this roundabout method.

She inquired from all corners and finally learned that the old lady had been hospitalized recently. Thus, she came to pay her respects and show her filial piety.

"We, we have met." The Principal swallowed hard.

He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He really wanted to tear Wang Mengmeng into pieces now.

This damn woman!!!!!!

Wang Mengmeng also could not bear this huge blow. She felt her future was flying away.

What did she just say? Wang Mengmeng’s brain went blank, her palms soaked with cold sweat.

"Not only have we met, but I also have a deep impression of her." Director Zhen took in everyone’s reactions and said coldly.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Dashan asked the Principal.

The Principal numbly gestured towards Wang Mengmeng on the bed. Zhang Dashan gritted her teeth. She had no good impressions of Wang Mengmeng, that cunning woman!

However, it was not convenient to say anything now. Zhang Dashan suppressed her disgust for Wang Mengmeng and smiled amiably:

"You see, my husband is so dedicated to his work. He handles big and small matters personally, much like you, Director. I’ve told him many times not to work so hard, but he just won’t listen."

Suizi watched Zhang Dashan’s dramatic performance with an expressionless face.

These people, using all their energy on being sycophantic, did nothing relevant to people.

Even when they didn’t care about their work, they could take credit for their subordinates’ achievements in front of their superiors, plastering gold all over their faces.

Unfortunately, all their tricks would be useless this time.

The Principal forced a smile worse than crying and nodded stiffly at Zhang Dashan’s bragging.

"I’m not like him, I’m just a useless woman who has no ability to live in a single room after decades of living."

Director Zhen’s cold words were enough to freeze the Principal and Wang Mengmeng into ice.

As Suizi was leaving the hospital, Zhang Dashan chased after her.

"Chenchen, can you wait a moment."

Director Zhen ruthlessly sent them packing. Zhang Dashan saw the situation was bad, she dragged the Principal out for an enquiry, her mind was blown.

Zhang Dashan ran around for the Principal’s career, but Wang Mengmeng ruined all of Zhang Dashan’s efforts with one blow.

It was too late for Zhang Dashan and her husband to build up a relationship, Director Zhen had moved to the ward next door and warned them to bear the consequences if they continued to disturb her.

Nevertheless, Director Zhen did tell Suizi to visit the bureau once she was discharged.

This sent Zhang Dashan and her husband into a state of unease like they had fallen into a frying pan.

Seeing Suizi was leaving, Zhang Dashan rushed out.

"Chenchen, we’ve treated you pretty well, haven’t we?"

"Sister-in-law, just speak your mind, there are no outsiders here."

"This rotten egg, Wang Mengmeng, spoilt everything." Zhang Dashan said gritting her teeth.

Suizi did not respond, waiting for her to continue.

Zhang Dashan forced a smile, holding Suizi’s hand.

"I know you don’t get along well with her, but my husband and I have been fairly good to you. I see your belly has grown quite big, I still have some supplements at home, it is perfect for pregnant women."

"Sister-in-law, if you say it like this, it’s not interesting. Let’s tell the truth."

Zhang Dashan sighed in her heart. Compared with this young girl in front of her, her husband had wasted half of his life.

Suizi was spotless in handling affairs, her political acumen was much higher than her husband’s.

"Alright then, let’s cut the formalities. Although my husband has some small flaws, he has been cooperating with you for a long time. When you see Director Zhen, could you put in a few good words for him? Your sister-in-law will remember your kindness. You are competent and have unlimited potential, but you are still young after all."

They were both clever people. Zhang Dashan hinted Suizi.

Preserving the Principal would be beneficial for both of them.

"If my husband leaves, given your qualifications, even if the higher-ups are favoring you, they won’t promote you immediately. You should know this. No organization would directly promote the second in command. If my husband leaves and a new leader is transferred in, he might not get along with you."

Zhang Dashan had a change of tone and put on a friendly expression again.

"If you don’t mind, you can treat me as your sister. With me around, I promise you won’t suffer. Wait for a few more years, my husband will retire soon and this leadership position will certainly be yours."

"Sister Zhang, I know what I should do. But I have to clarify something, Wang Mengmeng and I are just supervisor and subordinate. I am neutral towards her, and it doesn’t matter if we’re friendly or not. However, the Principal——"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dashan’s face became pale, she wished she could kick her incompetent husband.

"You can rest assured, I understand. It must be tough on you." Zhang Dashan exchanged pleasantries with Suizi and then stormed back into the hospital.

It seemed that a family feud was inevitable.

Watching her retreating back, Suizi couldn’t explain the feeling in her heart.

In a way, she and Zhang Dashan had something in common.

Both were original partners who racked their brains for their husband’s career. Unfortunately, countless original partners had their life’s work ruined by their husband’s infidelity.

She didn’t want to see herself in middle age, like Zhang Dashan, making great efforts to clean up for her husband’s romantic debts.

Career could be maneuvered, life could be fought for.

Only the heart of a loved one, as changeable as the clouds in the sky. Suizi looked up at the sky.

Everything went dark.

Unable to see the blue sky and white clouds, her eyes were covered.

"Guess who I am~"
