Chapter 301 (Must Read!) Zhang Qinglan Takes the Initiative!
Zhang Qinglan: [What are you doing?]

Gao Jun didn't expect Zhang Qinglan to send him a message.

After their intimate encounter the previous night, Gao Jun felt it was time to end things. Otherwise, if Lin Xinxuan found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But he underestimated Zhang Qinglan's audacity.

Or perhaps they underestimated the young woman's thoughts.

Zhang Qinglan is currently at the prime of her life, full of vigor and ambition.

She definitely wants to get to know him better.

If Gao Jun had no connection with Linxi County, Zhang Qinglan might have already started acting like Zhou Shumei, completely recklessly having fun.

Gao Jun: [I was driving at the time, what's up?]

How is your relationship with my daughter now?

Gao Jun was somewhat surprised to see this message. He didn't know what Zhang Qinglan meant by asking this question, but he still answered honestly: "Xin Xuan is currently the general manager of the company, and all her benefits are top-notch."

Zhang Qinglan: [That's not what I asked; I asked about relationships.]

Gao Jun: [There's nothing wrong with our relationship. We have a very good relationship.]

Zhang Qinglan didn't quite understand why Lin Xinxuan would still choose to be with Gao Jun even though she knew he was having an affair with Zhou Shumei.

But it must be admitted that Gao Jun does have a certain charm.

Zhang Qinglan: [Did you know that Lin Chen is in jail?]

Gao Jun: [I know, and I know the person who called the police.]

Zhang Qinglan: [You know him? You actually know the person who called the police?]

Gao Jun: [That person is my ex-wife's best friend.]

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinglan's sixth sense immediately kicked in.

Zhang Qinglan: [Don't tell me you also had a relationship with your ex-wife's best friend.]

Gao Jun: [That happened before I met Xinxuan.]

Zhang Qinglan: [Gao Jun, don't go too far!!]

Zhang Qinglan: [Where do you place Xinxuan? Aren't you just toying with her feelings?]

Gao Jun: [Qinglan, I think these things are about mutual cooperation, not one person forcing me. Xinxuan could have left me, but she didn't, which proves my value and charm in her heart. So, by the same token, I won't easily choose to leave her either.]

Zhang Qinglan couldn't win an argument with Gao Jun; she knew Gao Jun was eloquent and skilled at sophistry.

But she clearly didn't want to lecture Gao Jun; she was just bored and lonely.

Zhang Qinglan: [After Lin Zhaodong learned that Lin Chen had been arrested, he went to the hospital that very night.]

Gao Jun: [Is it serious?]

Zhang Qinglan: [It's not exactly serious, but she needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days.]

Gao Jun: [I don't have much of a grudge against Mr. Lin Zhaodong, so fundamentally, I still hope he can recover soon.]

Zhang Qinglan: [You hope he recovers soon, then I hope he dies soon.]

Gao Jun did not expect Zhang Qinglan to say this.

Based on my previous impression, Zhang Qinglan should have doted on her husband.

Is this just an illusion?
Gao Jun didn't dare to speculate too much about these things, nor would he ask any further questions.

But Zhang Qinglan wanted Gao Jun to ask more questions in order to satisfy her own desire to express herself.

Seeing that Gao Jun didn't continue asking, Zhang Qinglan took the initiative and said, "Do you want to know why?"

Gao Jun knew that Zhang Qinglan wanted to express the same thing as Sun Miao and Zhou Shumei back then.

He thought for a moment, then finally pressed on, asking, "If Sister Qinglan wants to tell me, that's fine too."

Gao Jun didn't directly say he wanted to, because such a response would be too passive. Using a different wording would be more subtle.

As expected, Zhang Qinglan fell into Gao Jun's trap. She began to explain: "Everyone thinks I'm Lin Zhaodong's wife, a wealthy woman with a very privileged life, but in reality, Lin Zhaodong only covets my beauty. He stopped paying attention to me years ago."

Zhang Qinglan: [So, Lin Zhaodong and Lin Beishan are actually men of the same character. No, and so is Lin Chen. The three of them—grandfather, son, and grandson—are all the same. Once they have money, they start looking for other young women.]

Zhang Qinglan: [However, Lin Zhaodong didn't look for other women because he was impotent.]

Now, Gao Jun is like a bystander, watching the constant stream of WeChat messages.

Gao Jun: [Isn't it said that men can still have children even at seventy?]

Zhang Qinglan: [That's wishful thinking. A man like him couldn't possibly still be fertile at seventy. A few years ago, in pursuit of excitement, he started learning to ride horses and competing with others. One time, he accidentally fell off a horse, and then...]

Gao Jun understood what Zhang Qinglan meant when he saw this.

It turned out to be broken.

No wonder.

Gao Jun: [Is this why you've been living alone all these years?]

Zhang Qinglan: [So I've always remembered your dedication that night. These past few days I've been thinking, how wonderful it would be if you and Xinxuan had no relationship at all, then I wouldn't have any psychological pressure.]

After sending the message, perhaps feeling it was inappropriate, Zhang Qinglan retracted it.

But Gao Jun had already seen it.

He replied: "Actually, Sister Qinglan, you know that after my first marriage, my ex-wife cheated on me. So, I have no intention of getting married again. I've already talked to Xinxuan about this, and she agrees that I like both Xinxuan and Shumei. I won't treat one woman badly just because I like the other."

Zhang Qinglan immediately understood Gao Jun's meaning.

Zhang Qinglan: [Are you free now? I'd like to see you.]

Gao Jun: [Okay, I'll send you an address.]

The two eventually agreed to meet at a coffee shop.

Zhang Qinglan even disguised herself specially for this purpose.

Looking at her sexy reflection in the mirror, Zhang Qinglan suddenly realized that this was the life she wanted to live.

Instead of staying alone in an empty room with a dead old man.

The two met soon after.

Upon meeting, Gao Jun immediately complimented her, "Sister Qinglan, you look so beautiful today."

Zhang Qinglan was pleased to hear this, but Zhou Shumei still said, "Do you say this to every girl? This must be your way of flirting."

Gao Jun chuckled upon hearing this: "If this is how I flirt with girls, then my skills are really too low-level."

Zhang Qinglan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, saying, "Then tell me, what are your flirting techniques? How did you win over Xinxuan?"

Gao Jun shrugged and replied, "Actually, there was no pursuit. It was all about attraction and charm. In fact, a relationship that involves pursuit isn't a relationship; it's just wishful thinking. Only when there is mutual affection can it be called a relationship." Hearing this, Zhang Qinglan seemed to understand. She nodded and replied, "Actually, you're right. That's true."

Seeing this, Gao Jun knew that he actually had a lot to say, so he took the initiative to ask, "Sister Qinglan, if you don't mind, please tell me your story. I'd be happy to listen to you."

“Actually, I don’t have any story. In your eyes, I’m just someone who married into a wealthy family and has been living the life of a rich lady ever since,” Zhang Qinglan said with a sigh.

However, Gao Jun could clearly sense the helplessness in Zhang Qinglan's eyes.

“I don’t think so, because I saw a hint of regret in your eyes,” Gao Jun explained.

It was this sentence that made Zhang Qinglan completely let down her guard, and she continued, "At that time, I was only twenty years old and had just joined the company. As a result, he, as the chairman, directly arranged for me to be his secretary. At first, I disagreed because I knew the unspoken rules of the workplace, so I declined. However, he tempted me with a high salary and promised that he would never have any other thoughts."

"I only agreed to be his secretary later, but then I realized I had fallen into his trap."

“At the time, a male employee in the company was pursuing me. I didn’t agree at first, but somehow he found out and fired him the next day.”

"I was speechless at the time. As the chairman of the board, what right did he have to decide my personal feelings? So I confronted him, and his words moved me instantly."

Gao Jun laughed when he heard this: "Did he say that he likes you a lot, but he doesn't feel confident enough, so he wants to protect you silently and see if he can win your heart?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinglan's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked, "How do you know these things?"

Gao Jun explained, "These are all tricks used by middle-aged men. Only young girls like you would fall for them. Of course, you're willing to be fooled, since who wouldn't want to be the chairman's wife?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qinglan fell silent.

Indeed, she had previously fantasized about becoming the wife of the chairman of a listed company.

How prestigious! From now on, she will never have to go to work again, and a life where she can have whatever she wants is about to beckon her.

Therefore, Zhang Qinglan eventually accepted Lin Zhaodong's pursuit.

For Zhang Qinglan, if she didn't accept it, Lin Zhaodong could easily find a better replacement, so she might as well accept it first.

Lin Zhaodong was indeed very good to her in the early years, especially after she gave birth to a daughter, whom he adored.

He had always wanted a little daughter, so Lin Xinxuan's birth was like a precious gem to Lin Zhaodong.

Zhang Qinglan was able to solidify her position because of Lin Xinxuan.

However, as time went by, Lin Zhaodong spent more and more time abroad, and after falling off his horse, he was no longer a real man, and his temper became increasingly strange.

Moreover, he was very suspicious, and as time went on, he always suspected that Zhang Qinglan might do something that could betray him.

Therefore, Lin Zhaodong also planted some so-called informants.

Of course, Zhang Qinglan knew who Lin Zhaodong's informants were, so she had come up with several ways to meet Gao Jun today.

After driving around for a couple of hours, I finally parked the car in a shopping mall parking lot and then took a taxi to get there.

Zhang Qinglan looked at Gao Jun and said, "Why don't you leave Xinxuan? I'm willing to stay with you."

Actually, Zhang Qinglan hesitated a bit when she said these words.

Because compared to their own physique and age, they are definitely at a disadvantage.

She simply couldn't figure out how she could possibly make Gao Jun choose her.

Gao Jun replied, "Actually, the issue now isn't about me leaving Xin Xuan, but rather that Qing Lan no longer wants to stay in the Lin family. You want to find your own love and start anew."

These words were a fatal blow, and Zhang Qinglan immediately fell into deep thought.

Yes, Zhang Qinglan has always been dutiful since marrying into the Lin family more than 20 years ago, but what has she gained in return?

Absolutely not.

The last time Lin Zhaodong slapped her to the ground, Zhang Qinglan finally understood that in his eyes she was nothing more than a mistress.

It is dispensable and can be replaced at any time.

Therefore, Zhang Qinglan also understands that she must live her own life and show her own style.

She looked at Gao Jun and asked, "So, should I now pursue my true love?"

"You can try to explore new things. Of course, I'm not encouraging you to betray the Lin family. I just think that if the other party is unjust, you can be unjust too."

Gao Jun's words made Zhang Qinglan suddenly realize something. She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

She then glanced at the time and said, "Alright, it's getting late."

Gao Jun thought Zhang Qinglan was about to leave, so he also stood up to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qinglan blushed and hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Before I find true love, could you... could you help me..."

Gao Jun immediately understood what it meant.

So he nodded and said, "You didn't drive here, right? Then get in my car."

And so, Zhang Qinglan got into the car with Gao Jun.

After getting in the car, Gao Jun asked, "Which hotel do you want?"

"Recently." Zhang Qinglan didn't hide her thoughts at all. Right now, all she wanted was to have a happy and comfortable time and experience it again.

As for the claim that Lin Zhaodong is in the hospital, Zhang Qinglan no longer cares about that.

So Gao Jun drove Zhang Qinglan to a five-star hotel.

After booking a presidential suite, Zhang Qinglan looked at Gao Jun and said, "I'll go in and take a shower first."

"it is good."

Gao Jun nodded.

He then waited on the sofa.

A short while later, Zhang Qinglan came out wrapped in a bathrobe.

It must be said that Zhang Qinglan does have a very good figure, and she and Zhou Shumei are almost equally beautiful.

If Zhou Shumei's personal vocabulary is desire.

Therefore, the character representing Zhang Qinglan is "感" (gǎn, meaning feeling/appreciation).

A delicate, bony figure with a gentle, flowing grace.

This also made Gao Jun somewhat suspicious.
