Rise of a Nobody
Before getting off work, he went to the county town and bought a necklace at the only jewelry store there, spending over four thousand. He had never thought about how to spend this one million, but he knew that some investments were necessary. Therefore, he didn't feel any pain spending this money on the necklace for Dou Changhe's wife, believing that the money spent would return tenfold or a hundredfold through Dou Changhe. "Cousin, you're the township head, how come you live here?" After getting off work, Zhao Changsheng followed Dou Changhe back home, but after getting out of the car and seeing where Dou Changhe lived, it really didn't match the status of a township head. It was a very ordinary small courtyard with three tiled rooms and no decoration inside, a very simple place. "This is rented, my family is in the county town," Dou Changhe said. "I'm back, get ready quickly, it's time to eat." At this moment, a woman came out of the house. Seeing this woman, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but curse Dou Changhe for seeking women outside. The figure of this beautiful woman appeared at the kitchen door. The woman looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a fair complexion and delicate skin, a standard good wife and mother. She wore a pink tight sweater on her upper body and black wide-leg pants on her lower body. A pair of flat slippers did not hide her proud height. Zhao Changsheng felt a tremor in his heart, damn, this woman was too charming! He didn't understand why Dou Changhe, having such a beautiful woman at home, still sought women outside. Thinking it over, perhaps it's really true that home flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers. "Is this my cousin's wife? Hello, cousin's wife."
Zhao Changsheng had the sense to know what to do, so he stepped forward to greet them. 'Auntie? Changhe, what's going on here, who is he?' 'Xinya, this is Zhao Changsheng, my cousin's son from Bangziyu. I didn't know about him before, but we've recently gotten in touch, and he's come to have dinner with us today,' Dou Changhe explained. 'Oh, is that so? Come in,' Zhao Xinya nodded, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, quite attractive. 'Auntie, it's my first time here, and I didn't know what to bring you, so this is a necklace, I'll give it to you.' 'Oh, where did you get the money, you little rascal? Did you steal it again?' Dou Changhe exclaimed in surprise. His first thought wasn't that Zhao Changsheng had stolen it, but that Zhao Changsheng had used the five thousand yuan he had taken. 'How could that be, Uncle, this is a windfall for me, and I'm presenting it to Auntie today,' saying this, Zhao Changsheng took out the necklace and handed it to Dou Changhe, 'Uncle, please put it on Auntie and see if it fits.' Dou Changhe secretly admired the lad for knowing how to behave, so he took the necklace to put it on Zhao Xinya. 'Changhe, this isn't right, Xiao Zhao has only been working for a few days, I don't know how much this necklace cost, I can't accept it,' Zhao Xinya declined. 'Just take it, he's not an outsider,' so with some pushing and pulling, Zhao Xinya put the necklace on her neck. Under the light in the room, the necklace shone brilliantly, looking very beautiful. 'Thank you, Xiao Zhao, please have a seat, we'll eat soon,' she said, then went to the kitchen to get busy. 'You little rascal, did you buy this with my money?' 'Your money? What money, Uncle? When have I ever taken your money?'
Zhao Changsheng said with a grin, which made Dou Changhe even more convinced that it was his own money that had bought it. However, it was fine, as it had ultimately returned to his own home. So he smiled, raised his hand, and gave Zhao Changsheng a slap. 'You little rascal, so cunning.' 'Hehe, it's all thanks to Uncle's good teachings.' 'Hmph, but still, this matter about Old Tian really needs some careful thought. Generally, when something like this happens, the first suspect is bound to be me, because as soon as Tian Jialiang leaves, I am the biggest beneficiary. This could be a bit tricky,' Dou Changhe said, tweaking a hair under his chin. 'Leave this to me, it has nothing to do with you, Uncle. But if this matter succeeds, I have a request.' 'What request? Starting to bargain before the job is even done?' Dou Changhe looked at Zhao Changsheng displeasedly. 'I don't want to be a policeman anymore. I want to join the government and work with you, how about that?' 'You little kid, you don't even have a degree, what can you do with me? What can you do?' 'I can do anything, and as for the degree, that's just a word away. I'll just go to the provincial city and buy one, I see there are many ads for certification in our county town.' 'Haha, have you gone mad, boy? Can this be taken lightly?' Dou Changhe felt that Zhao Changsheng was a talented lad, bold and meticulous, but he lacked a degree and was also too young, which was a bit of a concern. 'Mom, Dad, I'm back.' At this moment, the voice of a girl came from the courtyard.
