Overall, the divorce banquet was actually quite well executed.
Zhang Qixiang used the best ingredients from the villa and the finest liquor. All expenses were paid by Zhang Hongyang, because in another sense, he was the one at fault in the marriage! He certainly couldn't stress in front of everyone that Zhao Han was also at fault, having cuckolded him—a matter he would never ntion in his lifeti.
Zhang Hongyang and Zhao Han managed to separate without arguing, without giving each other the silent treatnt, without accusations—peacefully.
The couple had no children, which spared them a lot of entanglent. The division of property was straightforward, each managing their own, and posed no great problem—in fact, it might be said there were no problems at all.
The Zhang Family's decision maker could have been Du Yuesheng, but Zhang Yuxing ca instead, and she took charge of the matter.
On the Zhao family's side, the spokesperson Liu Zhizhong did not appear, and Lu Yui spoke on their behalf. This was despite Lu Yuqing and other core relatives and friends of the Zhao family being by her side.
Overall, Zhang Yuxing was reasonable and did not cause a fuss.
Lu Yui had spirit and understanding of the situation, refraining from being willful.
At this divorce banquet, everyone was doing well, each heading towards their own future. However, from the day of Zhao Han and Zhang Hongyang's marriage, the business interactions and collaborations between the Zhang and Zhao families were to be peacefully divided and severed that very day, leaving each other clean, with no interference, each pursuing their own financial paths.
This was a pleasant rupture, good wine, good food, good prospects—let's see what destiny holds for each individual!
As for Zhang Zhengchang falling into the hands of Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yui, heh, that matter was top secret, known to absolutely too few.
Zhang Zhengchang was not present, his reason being that he was out of town receiving treatnt for an illness, which was perfectly legitimate.
During the al, Liu Zhizhong hardly drank any alcohol, just one glass of baijiu, 20-year Moutai, certainly no issue there.
Thus, after the al, he cheerfully got in the car, taking Lu Yui and Zhao Han, and set off for Shennong Valley to escape the heat and go on vacation.
Lin Juan, on her end, received a ssage from Liu Zhizhong explaining that an order from his mother-in-law was hard to defy, and that they'd discuss upon his return from vacation, which wouldn't be long—just two or three days.
Lin Juan naturally understood Liu Zhizhong. Her married brother Doggy needed to prioritize his family.
In her reply, she also expressed complete understanding of Doggy brother, respecting the integrity of his family, not wanting to disrupt his family affections—quietly grateful to him, loving him, waiting for him, no matter when or where.
anwhile, Lin Juan said that the municipal overseas Chinese affairs office had contacted her that morning to understand so details and asked her to take so ti to go through the onboarding process and secure her position. Since her Japanese was strong, they arranged for her to work in the Foreign Affairs Office. As for when to start working, they'd accommodate her situation—it was fine, she was free, not in a rush.
She also ntioned that after the overseas Chinese affairs office had contacted her, the female principal of Yang High had personally reached out to her, stating that once Lin Youyou recovered, she could directly enroll in Yang High for the second half of the year. So docuntation like a transfer certificate was needed, but it was not a big deal. If it wasn't available, other docunts like a birth certificate were acceptable for enrollnt.
Yang High, the strongest high school in Yangzhou, ranked top five in the province. Every year, the number of students it sent to Beijing University and Tsinghua was impressive.
Regardless of the lead over others that this ladder-style education might suggest, from the perspective of Chinese parents, having Lin Juan's daughter attend Yang High was truly an honor, wasn't it?
Having received an update from Lin Juan, Liu Zhizhong felt at ease, settled. With no further concerns for mother and daughter, he could free up his mind to accompany his mother-in-law and elder sister on a proper vacation, right?
Yet, change is always faster than plans!
After driving for more than two hours on the expressway and taking the tourist fast track, Liu Zhizhong arrived at the entrance of Shennong Valley scenic area, where Zhao Han received an urgent work-related call, which left her feeling frustrated…
