Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

——Zheng family

"Old Guo, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that they have all the evidence to sue you, and I can't do anything about it. And last time, I also asked my old friend in the court to help you, but you were confused. How could you not know that they had such crucial evidence as surveillance?" Zheng Huan's face was full of emotion.

He was also a seasoned official with many years of experience, having seen all sorts of people. This time, he only took action because of their long-standing friendship. Who knew they already had such a big handle on each other, making him lose face?

Guo Xi's face wrinkled with laughter. "Old Zheng, didn't I do things perfectly when I helped you before? This was just an accident. I didn't expect this guy to be so well hidden, even installing surveillance cameras."

He helped Zheng Huan and the others do a lot of dirty things, otherwise he wouldn't let Zheng Huan, who was a nobody and always on business in other provinces when he got into trouble, help him?

This time he encountered trouble. Zheng Huan was so powerful. If he really helped him, no matter how big the company was, it would be useless. As long as it was in W City, it could not escape his control.

Zheng Huan's face, whose expression was unclear, instantly showed a hint of anger. "Are you threatening me? What? You helped me before, but you didn't get any benefits?"

What the hell, dare you threaten him?

Guo Xi quickly denied it, "Old Zheng, I absolutely didn't mean that. I just don't want to admit it. You know, I only have this one daughter."

He gritted his teeth and continued to play the victim, "She had a miscarriage this time, and I'm afraid she won't be able to have children in the future. As a father, I feel really bad. You only have one daughter, so you should understand my feelings."

He was really risking his life and even exposing his family's dirty laundry.

Zheng Huan hesitated for a moment, "Old Guo, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have to follow Secretary Jia on an external transfer soon, and I really can't be of any help. Besides, I heard that it was not his fault that caused your daughter's miscarriage, and I even gave you one million, which is a lot of money." How could people like them have any sympathy?

Those who are sympathetic will either take the blame or stay in the low position for the rest of their lives.

Guo Xi's sympathy card didn't work on him at all, and he had also used up all the favors he owed.

"Old Guo, listen to me and stop making trouble." He patted Guo Xi's shoulder.

Zheng Huan, you old bastard, it turns out you've always known about my family affairs, but you just don't want to help.

"Old Zheng." Guo Xi looked up at him.

A shout suddenly interrupted him, "Lao Zheng, the meal is ready, let Lao Guo stay and eat."

"it is good."

"Old Guo, please stay for dinner." Zheng Huan said enthusiastically.

Guo Xi curled his lips. These two people cooperated well. They were trying to drive him away.

"I still have something to do, so I won't bother you anymore." He waved his hand and smiled bitterly.

Zheng Huan tried to persuade him again, "Hey, the meal is ready. What's our relationship? Stay for dinner. I'll ask my daughter and son-in-law to treat you with some good wine from my collection."

"Next time, it's a bit urgent today." Guo Xi knew everything clearly.

"Then I won't try to keep you. I can't delay your business. Next time, I will definitely treat you well next time you come. I didn't buy any vegetables at home today. I just ate some cabbage, tofu and other things. When you come next time, we will buy some seafood and I will treat you well." Zheng Huan said this very sincerely.

"I'll ask my son-in-law to see you off, Xiaoya, and see your Uncle Guo off."

Guo Xi nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first."

-The Guo family after Guo Xi left

"Are we really not going to help?" asked Zheng's mother.

Zheng Huan shook his head. "Why should I help him? He's almost retired and useless. Why should I help him?"

This matter is actually very simple. Let Guo Xi find a way to destroy the surveillance video of the Chen family. It will be easy without evidence. He will also be able to help him then.

But now, there is absolutely no need.

He didn't help because he felt that Guo Xi was not in the right even though he took the money, but simply because he was useless.

He was not in a good position, and there was no one in his family who was as capable as his offspring and could help each other. Why would he waste his resources on someone who was going from bad to worse?

Zheng's mother didn't say anything because she knew Zheng Huan too well and that was just his character.

He is very purposeful and ruthless.

——Guo family

When Guo Xi got home, it was completely dark.

"Are you back? I'll go reheat the food." Zhan Chunmei quickly stood up.

"No, I have no appetite." Guo Xi poured himself a glass of cold water, and only after drinking it did he feel a little more sober.

"Old Zheng refuses to help?" Zhan Chunmei actually felt that this was a difficult matter from the beginning. After all, Guo Xi would soon be no longer in this position.

Guo Xi nodded. "He said he was going to be transferred out with Secretary Jia and couldn't contribute much."

This may be a trick to fool people, but in fact it means they don't want to help.

Zhan Chunmei sighed, "If he doesn't want to help, forget it. Let's not make trouble with the Chen family. We are all so old now, we should just live our own lives well."

For this matter, Guo Xi looked for everyone he could, but it was all in vain. Chen Mu was not someone who could be easily bullied.

Now he is doing better and better, and it is becoming more and more difficult for them to trip him up.

"I've finally seen what it means when people leave and the tea gets cold. Now I haven't left yet, but the tea is already cold." Guo Xi laughed at himself. He seemed to have aged ten years and had lost his fighting spirit.

He had burst the bubble of glory, but Guo Shanshan was also a disappointment. Zheng Huan's daughter had already joined the department and was a director at least. Her son-in-law was also capable and was said to be a deputy section chief.

Zheng Huan's daughter is only a few years older than Shanshan, but she is already so successful. Even if he retires in the future, the next generation of their family will be able to take over.

But what about their family? It was about to be destroyed.

I used to think I was living a good life, but now I feel like it’s a joke.

After hearing what Guo Xi said, Zhan Chunmei didn't envy Zheng Huan much.

"We are just ordinary people. We just need to live our ordinary lives. Everyone has his or her own destiny. But speaking of this, should we also find a job for Shanshan? It's not a good thing for her to lock herself in the room all day and be sad about the passing of time." Zhan Chunmei also felt a little distressed.

"Find a job for Shanshan?" Guo Xi had never thought about this question.

Zhan Chunmei saw his puzzled look and explained again, "Find her a stable job, or let her take the civil service exam. Wouldn't it be nice to stay there steadily for decades?"

Guo Xi thought for a while.

Can she do it? She has no scheming and no skills.

"Okay, let her try." He could only try it out.

But he still had no way to vent the anger in his heart.
