Chapter 315: Kong Shi arrested Zhao Xiaohua

Hearing Shen Honghong say that,

I could only sigh, nowadays society is really fucking open.

Such a secret matter, in Shen Honghong's mouth, is as simple as eating and drinking.

You know Shen Honghong is a host at that level; I think their realm should be very high, especially focusing on self-cultivation,

But I didn't see a trace of restraint.

On the contrary, my mind is full of those topics,

Even sometimes it's as crude as an ordinary person.

Ordinary people still know to be shy, but she is not shy at all.

Does modern university education really make us lose our sense of shame?

It's truly a failure, the Western education system,

It has educated us noble hosts into promiscuous women.

If Zhou Renfeng knew Shen Honghong evaluated him like this,

would he be angry to death?

Never casually take off your clothes in front of a woman, otherwise it will seriously affect your image.

I don't want to continue talking about this topic with Shen Honghong,

I don't have the mood to talk about those trivial matters now,

My heart is in a tangled mess; a little carelessness and everything will be ruined.

I held up my wine glass and clinked it with Shen Honghong's,

Then I asked,

"Shen Honghong, the men at your station are all excellent; why don't you choose one to marry?"

"What, they're excellent, you just haven't gotten to know them up close,

they even live worse than a dog.

Handsome young men are kept by the noblewomen of Sijiucheng.

Hosts with a bit of ability keep various women.

Because of keeping mistresses, wives have caused scandals even in the broadcast hall.

The trivial family matters are broadcast live to the whole world,

becoming an international joke.

One by one they appear righteous, but inside they are fucking filthy beyond compare.

That famous host surnamed Zhao is already that age.

Still goes to keep mistresses, having taken too much medicine, almost dying in bed.

Shen Honghong took a sip of wine.

Hearing Shen Honghong say that, I could only smile,

It turns out those high-and-mighty figures are not worth anything.

"It seems our Zaocheng here is a piece of pure land."

"Mainly because Zhao Jianqiang is pure like water. Talk about your past, I want to hear it." Shen Honghong looked at me seemingly affectionately.

I said: "The past, what's there to talk about? My past is like a sea of bitterness. As for Zhou Fuhai, he is truly a blessed sea, while I truly grew up suffering."

During the New Year, talking about these bitter things is meaningless.

Look at how happy our lives are today, with wine and meat, yet everyone seems unsatisfied with their present life.

You know, back then, being able to eat a meal of dumplings during the New Year was heavenly happiness.

When we were kids, we all looked forward to the New Year, because only then could we eat tasty things, actually just candy and melon seeds, and nothing else.

That was an era of material scarcity,

and spiritual life was equally pitifully scarce,

Before I was eight, I had never seen a television.

Just because we had hope and anticipation, we fantasized every day about that kind of happy life,

and cherished its arrival.

Now we drink alcohol and eat meat every day, every day like it's New Year,

the sense of happiness is gone,

even New Year is like plain boiled water,

Sigh, it's meaningless; people have lost anticipation,

life has lost its charm.

"You seem to miss the past. Actually the past wasn't good at all—no modern buildings, cars, modern communication tools, or entertainment; I don't miss the past at all.

I think we live very happily now,

you see we have enough food and warm clothing, enjoying air conditioning indoors.

My hometown is in the Mudanjiang area of Northeast China—a world of ice and snow. When winter comes, I just sit indoors all day, with nothing to do.

Hmph, I only think about tomorrow.

"Tomorrow will be better." Shen Honghong raised her wine cup.

I clinked cups with Shen Honghong,

"Maybe the future will be better; let's drink a cup for the future."

I have an age gap with you; that's called a generation gap.

Each person lives in a different era, experiences different things, so the happiness they imagine differs,

I didn't say modern society is bad; if it were bad, what are we striving for?

Today's happiness came too fast; life always lacks something.

We just haven't adapted yet.

After another thirty or fifty years, when people have adapted, their mental state will be different.

It's New Year; happily, Shen Honghong, I wish you become more and more beautiful.

"Thanks, then I wish you become more and more like a man, vigorous." Shen Honghong said laughing.

Damn, I don't know how to respond to that.

Am I really not a man? Does a man have to knock a woman down in bed to be considered a man?

Actually I want to tell Shen Honghong, a man is a man; besides that aspect, there's more responsibility, duty, experience, and endurance.

A man is not only as hard as iron, but also needs the flexibility of steel.

But I said nothing.

I just smiled and drank the cup dry.

After finishing the drink, Shen Honghong still wanted to talk to me about something.

At that moment, Zhang Zong shouted at me: "Jianqiang, come over; I have something to discuss."

I hurried over to Zhang Zong's side.

Zhang Zong looked at me, then leaned close to my ear and whispered,

"Today Kong Shi sent people to take Zhao Xiaohua away from his home."

"Ah, Zhao Xiaohua didn't return home safely yesterday? He said he was going to Sanya for New Year and didn't leave?" I said.

"Go back to the room, let's quickly call Shangguan Zhuren over to discuss." Zhang Zong said.

I went to call Shangguan Zhuren, then the three of us returned to the room and began discussing Kong Shi's people taking Zhao Xiaohua away.

"This Kong Shi is fickle; why did he arrest Zhao Xiaohua again today?" Shangguan Zhuren asked.

"This, I'm not clear yet. Zhao Xiaohua couldn't have gone to Sanya; Kong Shi probably already restricted his freedom last night."

"I think that Kong Shi, after a night's consideration, believes Zhao Xiaohua isn't telling the truth and wants to dig more leads from him." Zhang Zong said.

"That's possible; Kong Shi just sent Lei Lei to Jinling, and we gave him the photos—anyone would find it hard to take. He will surely suspect Zhao Xiaohua."

You and Zhao Xiaohua are blood brothers.

"Only Zhao Xiaohua can tell you about Lei Lei being sent to Jinling. It looks like Zhao Xiaohua is going to suffer." Shangguan Zhuren said.

I took a puff of a cigarette.

"Let him eat; also let him know who is reliable and who isn't. Kong Shi's harsh lesson this time is actually a good thing."

It can make this brother of mine wake up.

I can't bear to educate him myself; otherwise others will, teaching him how to behave and act.

"Ah, I think Zhao Xiaohua can't endure hardship; he'll spill our secrets. We need a countermeasure." Shangguan Zhuren said.

"Even if Zhao Xiaohua says everything, Kong Shi will tell me first; we've been friends for decades."

He definitely won't believe Zhao Xiaohua's words.

We can rest easy.

"If Kong Shi inquires, I'll have a way to respond." Zhang Zong said confidently.

"By then, Kong Shi will suspect Zhao Xiaohua even more."

"Whatever Zhao Xiaohua says, Kong Shi won't believe."

"Zhao Xiaohua is as good as finished. It's fine; when he goes to prison to reflect, it'll also benefit us."

"As his brother, I can only help him this far." I said calmly.

Actually I feel terrible inside, after all Zhao Xiaohua is my younger brother.

Kong Shi struck him, but the pain is in my heart.
