That's right, thinking that Li Zhizhi was pretending to be stupid, Shang Shili winked at her, "My second sister-in-law cursed someone to be unlucky, you must know something, tell me, where did the special skill come from, can I have it?"

Li Zhizhi felt that the third young master of the merchant might have something wrong with his brain.

It was pretty good before, except for a few stupid things.

"Ahem, I don't understand what you are saying."

It seems that he was the first one to know that his second sister-in-law had this ability, and Shang Shili was quite proud.

His gaze paused on Li Zhizhi's face for a few seconds, "Beauty, why do you look familiar?"

Li Zhizhi quickly adjusted her hair and turned slightly to the side, "I have a standard face, so you must think I look familiar."

Shang Shili didn't think much about it, and nodded cooperatively, "So this is what the average face looks like."

"..."

Sure enough, as stupid as ever.

Soon, Qiao Jintang came back. Seeing that Shang Shili had not left yet, he glanced at him with some disdain, "Get away from me, I don't want to be on the news with you."

He was waiting for Qiao Jintang here with good intentions, but Qiao Jintang actually despised him!

Shang Shili's eyes were filled with resentment. This was too much.

Li Zhizhi's home is in the old town, which is quite far from the hotel. It took them more than half an hour to get there by taxi.

"My mom got off work early today. She said she saw me working overtime every day recently so she made me something delicious. By the way, what did Shang Shili mean when he said your mouth is blessed?"

Qiao Jintang smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been lucky lately and everything I want comes true."

Li Zhizhi nodded, took out the key and opened the door. Soon, the smell of stewed pork ribs wafted from the kitchen.

Qiao Jintang sniffed, his appetite instantly aroused.

Li Zhizhi's parents divorced a few years ago. Her father remarried and her mother had no plans to remarry.

The mother and daughter live in a two-bedroom house in an old neighborhood and their life is pretty good.

"You're back, hurry up and get ready for dinner," Li's mother came out with a big bowl of stewed pork ribs. Seeing Qiao Jintang was there, she immediately smiled, "Isn't this Jintang? I heard from Zhizhi that the script you got with great difficulty can't be continued because of the lead actor?"

Qiao Jintang greeted him before nodding and answering, "Well, I won't shoot anymore."

"What a pity. Auntie knows a good place for fortune telling. It's very accurate. Find a time tomorrow and I'll take you there."

Putting down the pork rib soup, Li's mother turned around and poured a cup of hot water for Qiao Jintang. "It's a temple. It's a small temple among the many temples in Kyoto, and the incense is not very strong, but the abbot there is really something."

Li Zhizhi gave Qiao Jintang a look and said, "Mom, do you have any other dishes? Tangtang hasn't come to our house for dinner in almost a month."

The interruption distracted Mother Li from her thoughts. "She also fried some shredded potatoes and stewed enough pork ribs for you two youngsters."

Qiao Jintang does not believe in God or Buddha, he only believes in himself.

Even in ancient times, she rarely went to places like temples.

The pork ribs soup is very thick and tastes just right when served with dipping sauce.

The chef's cooking skills are indeed good, but the food made by Li Zhizhi's mother has more "human touch" and feels more like home.

"Jintang, you said you've been married for a year. When will you bring your husband to see Auntie?"

Qiao Jintang's parents were very good to her when she was a child. But after she entered junior high school and her younger brother was born, her parents no longer cared about her as much as before.

I heard that if Grandpa Qiao hadn't insisted, the marriage between the Qiao family and the Shang family would have almost fallen into the hands of her cousin.

Li's mother only knew that Qiao Jintang was forced to get married as soon as she reached the marriageable age, but she didn't know who Qiao Jintang was marrying.

"Is it because the other party is too poor that your parents suddenly become so cold to you? If that's the case, why did you agree to this marriage in the first place? If your parents ask you to pay for your brother, don't agree."

After drinking a bowl of soup, Qiao Jintang began to eat the ribs with relish. Hearing this, he nodded perfunctorily, "Don't worry, Auntie. I'm so stingy, it's not easy to get money from me."

Her money is more valuable than her life.

"Jintang has become smarter now. He used to always send money home."

So his total net worth does not exceed one thousand yuan.

If she hadn't been smart enough to cheat Shi Li out of one million yuan in business, she would have been crying in poverty.

"I was young and ignorant, and now no one can bully me."

Neither can biological parents.

Li Zhizhi just received a call from a colleague. The news had already been released and all platforms were discussing the fact that Zhou Zhongxiang was suspected of being a homosexual.

Without having time to spit out the bone in her mouth, Li Zhizhi quickly motioned to Qiao Jintang to look at his phone.

Qiao Jintang understood and opened Weibo skillfully. The first hot search was "Director Zhou Zhongxiang's love affair exposed".

This title...

Qiao Jintang called him awesome. Zhou Zhongxiang is married, and everyone who knows him knows that.

This trending title was already very explosive, and when netizens clicked on it and found out that the 'exposed object' was a man, it was even more explosive.

Qiao Jintang clicked it with a smile, and sure enough, what came into view was a picture of Zhou Zhongxiang and Mr. Chen sleeping together. Perhaps because they were afraid of being questioned about the Photoshop, they also put a more than ten-second video in addition to the photo.

In the video, the two of them were sleeping soundly while snuggling together, with their clothes scattered on the ground, and even a few unpacked umbrellas.

This scene, this picture, this posture, this intimacy, it's hard to think of it as pure.

"It's a great shot. No wonder your company is still able to survive while so many physical magazines have closed down."

After returning the phone to Li Zhizhi, Qiao Jintang couldn't help but sigh.

"Our boss is smart and keeps up with the trends. He started developing short videos on his official account early on."

The Internet is so developed that many paper novels cannot be sold, let alone magazines.

"Look at the company group. Our boss is very happy. It's not too late. Thanks to you, I will get a bonus this month."

Li Zhizhi immediately pointed to the sofa at home and said, "Mom, let's replace the sofa next month. This one has been scratched by a cat and looks like it was picked up from a garbage dump."

Li's mother said "up to her" and refilled the bowl with pork rib soup.

"Zhou Zhongxiang's relative is a senior executive of the Shang Group. Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against if you offend him?"

Li Zhizhi shrugged nonchalantly, "If we were afraid in this line of work, there would be no point in surviving. Look at those paparazzi who follow us around without any bottom line. Are they afraid?"

As she said that, she winked at Qiao Jintang and said, "Besides, what's the point of being a senior executive of the Shang Group? You're still the president's wife!"

Qiao Jintang rolled his eyes and said, "It's better not to mention the stingy person."

At this time, Li Zhizhi's cell phone rang again. After glancing at the caller ID, she simply pressed the speaker button.

"Sister Chen, is there something wrong?"

"Zhizhi, have you heard about that female anchor who specializes in cursing people?"

Hearing this, Qiao Jintang raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at the phone screen.

Li Zhizhi looked confused, "Huh?"

"No wonder you've never been promoted to editor-in-chief. The two weird things that happened on Weibo in the past two days are said to be related to that female anchor, whose name seems to be Tang Xiaoqiao."
