Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1060: Disappointment

A military vehicle slowly decelerated and stopped not far from the gate of the Zhou Family Courtyard. Zhang Guoqing, with a briefcase tucked under his arm, got out and waved for the guard, Xiao Zhu, to drive away.

There was also a Xiao Wei. These two were bodyguards forcibly assigned to him from above. At this moment, he finally understood his father-in-law’s initial impatience.

To a certain extent, as one’s status changes, freedom truly becomes increasingly scarce!

"If you desire to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."

He understood this meaning quite well.

That’s why at today’s meeting, he got so angry that he slammed the table.

He certainly knew what his actions represented.

But if he also went with the flow and turned a blind eye...

Then even if he were at the top, what meaning would it have?

Zhang Guoqing believed himself to be an ordinary man. He loved wealth and coveted power, but he would absolutely not exploit national property through authority like some others.

Having enjoyed power, isn’t it right to perform one’s duties and give back to the country? The ridiculous part is, some people still dared to reach out under his nose.

Do they really think he wouldn’t dare to cut them off?

The troubles at work, Zhang Guoqing didn’t want to bring into the family, especially as the whole family waited in the warm living room for the tardy one to dine together.

"Why didn’t you start eating first again?"

Zhou Xiaozheng signaled Aunt Chen to serve the meal, looking at his carefree, smiling son-in-law, he sighed privately, "We’ve already had some snacks, so go wash your hands and eat."

"Dad, you’re home so early today?"

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at him meaningfully, "Cleared away some obstructive stones, so I had more time."

Zhang Guoqing smiled at him.

Since even his father-in-law supported him, he’d be even more ruthless!

After dinner, the family moved to the living room.

May 1st immediately took a seat next to Zhang Guoqing, "Dad, are you feeling better now?"

Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Seeing you makes me happy."

"Hehe... that’s good, that’s good." May 1st quickly pulled out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to him, "Da-da-da... Great news from the old home."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his son, opened the telegram for a look.

— Shi Wenwu Miao Congcheng Jiangzhong.

"Dad, my second grandfather has already called. He said they verified that no names were missed, and they also confirmed that there was no misconduct or cheating in this local college entrance exam."

Zhang Guoqing patted his forehead, muttered something about losing face, then asked, "Who asked him to help check the scores back home?"

"Brother Xi Zi."

Zhang Guoqing’s expression immediately darkened, "He really knows how to pull strings!"

May 1st watched him, hesitated, and continued, "Dad, I said something extra today. I told my second grandfather on the phone that no matter who approaches him, he shouldn’t do anything just for my father’s sake. You won’t blame me, will you?"

"Why would I blame you?" Zhang Guoqing finished speaking and glanced at Zhou Xiaozheng and Zhou Jiao – these two were pretending to be oblivious, concentrating on a game of chess, making him roll his eyes speechlessly.

Is it that important?

"Dad, would you be disappointed? But there’s some good news I should tell you first. Although the results haven’t been announced, my second grandfather found out that Brother Shitou scored first in the county and tenth in the province."
