Chapter 142 : God of Wealth

Fang Xiaoluo felt warm in her heart. She thought that Shen Zheng was someone who would never use backdoors or connections for personal gain.

But for her, he was willing to make an exception.

Shen Zheng took Fang Xiaoluo to the fourth floor and walked to the innermost office.

The door was open. Before Shen Zheng could knock, a deep voice came from inside, “Shen Zheng? Come in.”

As soon as Shen Zheng and Fang Xiaoluo entered, Director Gao, who was sitting at his desk signing documents, gestured for his staff to leave.

The office became quiet, and Gao Cen stood up. “Shen Zheng. You finally remembered to come and see me?”

Shen Zheng immediately saluted, then smiled, “Instructor, I said I’d come to see you, but I didn’t bring anything with me.”

Gao Cen didn’t mind at all. He looked Fang Xiaoluo up and down and asked, “Are you here with your wife?”

Shen Zheng quickly introduced her, “Instructor, this is my wife, Fang Xiaoluo.”

“Xiaoluo, this is my old instructor, Gao Cen, whom I’ve told you about. He is now the director of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau.”

Fang Xiaoluo greeted him with a smile, “Hello, Director Gao.”

“Why call me Director? I still remember what Shen Zheng was like when he first joined the army. Just call me Uncle.”

Fang Xiaoluo thought for a moment. She had quite a few uncles now. “Uncle Gao.”

“Hey.” Gao Cen responded cheerfully, “It’s really great. I was so busy when you got married that I didn’t have time to go see it. Come on, sit down first.”

Gao Cen was busy pouring water for them both.

Shen Zheng hurried over, “Instructor, I’m here for.”

Gao Cen said, “Tell me, boy, what brings you here today? You’re a busy man now, and you wouldn’t come here for no reason.”

Shen Zheng smiled, “Nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes.”

He placed the water cup on the table and said, “To be honest, instructor, Xiaoluo has encountered some problems and would like to ask for your help.”

“Oh?” Gao Cen asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me about it.”

Fang Xiaoluo explained, “Uncle Gao, it’s like this.”

She told him the whole story, and Gao Cen frowned as he listened.

“You mean, it’s very likely that your adoptive parents hid or destroyed the admission letter to prevent you from going to school?”

Fang Xiaoluo nodded. “I tested them last time, and it seems very likely. Now the post office says they can’t check, but I think if my adoptive parents signed the notice when the postman delivered it, it means they must have received it.”

Gao Cen said, “Your approach is good, and it can indeed be understood this way. This should not be difficult to investigate, but it is still necessary to file a case first.”

As he spoke, Gao Cen called the officer on duty, and someone came over soon.

Gao Cen said, “The process still needs to be followed. You report the case first, and I’ll investigate as soon as possible.”

Fang Xiaoluo filled out everything and said, “Thank you, Uncle Gao.”

“You don’t need to be so polite to me, since Shen Zheng is here. After all, I owe my life to Shen Zheng. Otherwise, I’d either be paralyzed or dead by now,” Gao Cen said.

Shen Zheng said, “Instructor, it wasn’t fate. Besides, anyone would do the same.”

Gao Cen smiled and shook his head, “If it weren’t for Xiaoluo, you, a busy man, really wouldn’t have bothered to ask me for help.”

Shen Zheng smiled and said nothing.

Gao Cen continued, “But this is indeed a big deal. The admission letter is very important. Don’t worry, I’ll inform you as soon as there’s a result.”

Fang Xiaoluo stood up and said, “Uncle Gao, it’s already late, how about we treat you to a meal?”

Gao Cen did not refuse, “Okay, it’s a good opportunity to chat with you both more.”

At Fang Xiaoluo’s suggestion, the three of them went directly to Dongfeng Hotel.

Tang Jingxian had been in the restaurant lately. You know, the customers in her restaurant were now different from before, and she had to treat them with the utmost care.

This was her first step in building a high-end hotel, and she needed to be meticulous in everything.

As soon as Fang Xiaoluo entered, she saw her and hurried over to greet them.

“Xiaoluo?”

“Sister Tang, your place is really popular.” Fang Xiaoluo said with a smile.

Tang Jingxian responded, “This is all thanks to you. Don’t worry, no matter when you come, we will always have a place for you.”

Tang Jingxian led Fang Xiaoluo and the others directly to the innermost private room.

Gao Cen sat down and said, “I heard that Dongfeng Hotel has been really popular these days. I was wondering if we could still get a table at this time without a reservation. Xiaoluo, you’re great, you know people at Dongfeng Hotel.”

Tang Jingxian brought over the menu and said, “You don’t know, this is our family’s ‘God of Wealth’, of course, we have to treat her well.”

“The new cucumber dishes aren’t available today, but the ones with cabbage are still available.”

Fang Xiaoluo put her hands into her bag, pretending to get something, but actually took out two cucumbers from the space. “Sister Tang, can I use what I brought myself?”

“Okay, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Gao Cen was really shocked when he saw the prices on the menu, “Xiao Luo, let’s just eat something simple. This is too expensive. I can’t handle such expensive food in my stomach.”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “You’ve gone to the trouble of eating so much, so you should eat well. Besides, these are all vegetarian and easy to digest.”

“Take a look, is there anything else you want to eat?”

Gao Cen didn’t even order any food, but the two vegetarian dishes were so expensive. “That’s enough. It’s a waste if we can’t finish them.”

Shen Zheng added two more meat dishes, and Gao Cen couldn’t stop him.

“You guys, it’s so hard to make money. Money doesn’t come from the wind. Next time, if you eat such expensive food, I won’t come.” Gao Cen said, feeling distressed.

Fang Xiaoluo lowered her voice and said, “Uncle Gao, I sold this dish to Dongfeng Hotel.”

Gao Cen was quite surprised after hearing this and then gave Fang Xiaoluo a thumbs up.

“Shen Zheng, Shen Zheng, you’re not marrying a wife, you’re marrying a gold mine.”

Shen Zheng smiled and said, “Indeed, I am lucky.”

Everyone was chatting and laughing in the private room, but Xu Yaqiu, who had been waiting in line outside, was dissatisfied.

She had been locked up for several days, and when she finally got out, the people in the factory were whispering about her and laughing behind her back.

She heard that the new dishes at Dongfeng Restaurant were very expensive and tasted good, so she insisted on coming to try them because she was pregnant.

She thought that after eating this meal, she would go back to the factory and show off.

After all, other people couldn’t afford a dish that costs eight or ten yuan.

Although Qian Haixia would definitely not approve of a table costing 128 yuan, it would definitely be okay for her to order two individual dishes.

So they arrived at Dongfeng Hotel, but there was no place to sit and they had to wait in line.

When she turned around, she saw someone taking Fang Xiaoluo in.

She asked, “Why do we have to wait in line while they can just go in?”

The waiter responded, “Sorry, ma’am, that customer is a gold member of our hotel, and she reserved a private room in advance.”

Gold member?

Xu Yaqiu looked at the wall. Dongfeng Hotel had launched a membership system. Gold members were those who had spent two thousand yuan or more in the hotel. Could it be that Fang Xiaoluo spent that much money at Dongfeng Hotel?

Why does she have so much money?

The other members of the Zhou family, who were standing nearby and overheard the waiter, were also shocked.

Fang Xiaoluo spent so much at a restaurant?

How rich is she!

Zhou Yanwen crossed his arms and muttered, “If it was Fang Xiaoluo who I got married, we would be the ones who could just walk into the private room right now.”

Xu Yaqiu felt a tightness in her chest, and her stomach hurt a little.

“Zhou Yanwen, I’m pregnant with your child. Can’t you just stop making trouble by talking?”

Zhou Yanwen glared at her, “That’s your own belly. Did I let you get pregnant? If you don’t want to be pregnant, get rid of it!”
