The 95th threat!

  Chen Mei's working hours have changed to "late out and late return", so she has time to have breakfast with Zhao Yang and his family together.

  Sun Zhenxiang was visibly delighted, and after peeling an egg for Chen Xiu, she "made an exception" and peeled one for Zhao Yang as well.

  Since Chen Xi arrived, all the treatment Zhao Yang had before was transferred to Chen Xi. Today, he finally got to eat the eggs peeled by Sun Zhenxiang again. He said with a hint of surprise: "Wow, what's going on today? It's been ages since I've enjoyed this kind of treatment!"

  Sun Zhenxiang ignored Zhao Yang's antics, handed three steamed buns to Chen Mei and said with a smile: "This is right! Those who work in the city every day don't they have to go home too?"

  Sun Zhenxiang's words were clear and implied that she was considered a member of the family. Chen Mei listened with great emotion, wondering if it was really necessary for her to deliberately avoid suspicion. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhao Yang drinking porridge with a mouthful of white radish, thinking pitifully: "Is there such a way to pursue a girl? The whole family is coming together, who can escape?"

  She took the steamed bun from Sun Zhenxiang's hand, and suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar. When she was a child, didn't she also take food from her mother's hand like this? As she thought about it, her eyes looking at Sun Zhenxiang unconsciously took on a filial expression.

  Sun Zhenxiang looked at her gently and said softly, "Eat it while it's hot, soft and smooth!"

  Morning plum lowered her head and took a bite, the sweetness in her mouth was also sweet in her heart, listening to the sound of bowls and plates colliding with each other and the voices of several people eating, the feeling of "home" enveloped her.

  The change in Chen Mei's working hours was also exceptionally delightful for Chen Xuan. After finishing breakfast, she followed closely behind Chen Mei, like a happy little bell. Because she knew she would see her mother at night, when Chen Mei drove away to work, she didn't look as unhappy as the previous times!

  Of course, it's the same joy for Zhao Yang. This kind of happiness doesn't need to be said much. For people who love each other, every bit of closeness between hearts will double this joy!

  Moreover, every evening when Chen Mei returns, Zhao Yang can rest for more than an hour without any worries. Adding to this the joy of their gradually warming relationship, Zhao Yang has already begun to faintly feel the realm of "spiritual carefreeness".

  The so-called "free and easy" of Zhuangzi consists of two parts: one is "physical free and easy", which requires the body's qi and blood to reach a state of fullness, and the other is "spiritual free and easy", which requires the mind to be free from worries and the spirit to be complete.

  For the current Zhao Yang, there are two things to be done, one for hatred and one for love. Therefore, he can't even reach the point of "no worries in his heart", let alone talk about "free spirit"!

  Of course, Zhuangzi's intention of incorporating the idea of "free and easy wandering" into his "Free and Easy Wandering" is also intentional! Now Zhao Yang has not yet reached the realm of "spiritual free and easy", but it does not prevent him from imagining and touching.

  That night, walking under the moonlight, Zhao Yang felt his body and mind as transparent as ice and snow in an instant. At that moment, he was carefree and at ease, with a tranquil heart and soul. That state might be what is meant by "spiritual freedom".

  In fact, Chen Mei's change in working hours made Liu Juan very happy too.

  Chen Mei returned to Longwo Village and naturally went to see Liu Juan.

  For a woman, the best conversational partner is often another woman. There are many things that aren't suitable to discuss with parents, husbands, or male friends, but can only be shared with another woman. Additionally, there are some topics that men tend not to be interested in, but women can talk about for hours on end without getting tired of, such as shopping and fashion.

  For the two of them, Liu Juan was a returned Ph.D., and Chen Mei, although she had only attended vocational school, as a woman and mother, had many topics to discuss on her own, plus she had founded a company and had extraordinary experiences, so naturally they could chat together!

  For Liu Juan, the environment of Longwo Village is good, but there are not many people to chat with. She can't always make phone calls to her distant friends, so sometimes she inevitably feels lonely. Now suddenly having an extra close friend and someone to talk to, she is overjoyed!

  Perhaps due to her pleasant mood, Liu Juan's liver and spleen qi and blood recovered to over 20% in just two short days!

  Today, Zhao Yang came to give Liu Juan an acupuncture treatment and found that her kidney's qi and blood had also recovered to over 1.5%. Based on his previous experience, as long as the heart and kidneys reached a certain level, forming an "inner Taiji", it would have a great help in constraining and coordinating the qi and blood! The only question was whether two-tenths of the amount of qi and blood could form this Taiji.

  "This uncertainty", Zhao Yang thought that he could see the result as soon as possible, but for Lin Hua, he was afraid to see the result of the test!

  But anyway, this result will have to be faced sooner or later!

  When Lin Hua took the test results, he saw the doctor's sympathetic gaze and his heart sank.

  ……

  Lin Hua's colleagues saw him and found his face pale, without a trace of blood, and worriedly asked: "Are you okay? Did you drink too much with Feng Baozi from Daiji Food yesterday and get food poisoning?"

  Lin Hua came back to his senses, his mouth twitched slightly, but he still looked expressionless. He walked over to the office desk and sat down, staring at the computer for a while, thinking: "It's just mid-term stomach cancer, it's not too late yet, nothing serious! What did that doctor say? Ah yes, having surgery early on will still have a high cure rate! If I can find that miracle doctor who treated Liu Juan's illness, maybe I won't even need to undergo surgery!"

  Lin Hua's mind suddenly became active again: "Right, that expert seemed to have put me on some kind of blacklist... it must be because of that article I wrote! How can I eliminate this influence?"

  Lin Hua glanced at the president's office and walked straight over. After knocking on the door and entering, he said to the president: "President, that article I wrote a few days ago about Liu Juan's illness..."

  The boss said: "That article is good, what's wrong? Has there been any progress in your interview with that expert?"

  Lin Hua hesitated for a moment, then replied: "This is the case. In my previous article, my investigation was not thorough enough, which caused misunderstandings among experts. Can we publish an apology and explanation to clarify this matter?"

  The president said disapprovingly, "Wouldn't it be better to apologize in person during the interview? It's your personal problem, how can the newspaper casually apologize for you? Besides, several days have passed, what's the use of publishing an apology article now?"

  Lin Hua accompanied Xiao Xin Dao: "Director, it's like this. I'm not feeling well and want to ask that expert to take a look! No need for a good layout or long article, just that meaning is enough!"

  "The boss frowned and said, 'You must be clear that this matter is not just about you alone, but it affects our entire newspaper! What's public is public, what's private is private, you must distinguish between them clearly! Where are you uncomfortable? Why didn't you go to the hospital? The company has paid full insurance for all of you!"

  Lin Hua hesitated and wanted to say something.

  "Is there anything else?" the director asked seriously.

  "No, nothing!"

  "Then let's get the interview settled quickly! After this is done, I'll give you a small long vacation, go!"

  Lin Hua bowed and walked out of the office, closing the door behind him. As soon as he came out, he felt his stomach start to ache!

  Lin Hua sat down at his desk and made another call to He Guojun.

  For a sly old fox like He Guojun, helping with "trivial matters" is still acceptable, but once it involves his own interests, even if he can't be seen, he'll still manage to get away with it!

  So Lin Hua made the call and got a relatively enthusiastic response from He Guojun, but after saying a lot, there was only one sentence: "I've already asked Liu Juan's best friend, that is Zhou Qing, to help you get in touch, if there's any news, I'll definitely let you know as soon as possible!"

  If it were usual, Lin Hua might have used some means to exert some pressure or offer some benefits, but now he just stopped for a moment, asked for Zhou Qing's phone number and hung up the phone.

  In the secretary's office of Building 4 at Pudong University, He Guojun hung up the phone and said with some confusion: "This doesn't seem like his style!"

  At this time, Zhou Qing had just finished two classes and was about to go to the library to borrow a few books when the phone rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, she rejected it twice. But the other party kept calling non-stop, so she had no choice but to answer it.

  Zhou Qing listened to a few sentences and directly said: "Lin Da journalist, I can tell you clearly that there is no phone number of the expert you are looking for here. Even if there is, I won't give it to you!"

  Facing Zhou Qing, Lin Hua was not as "good-tempered"! However, he still spoke in a calm tone: "Teacher Zhou, I sincerely want to apologize for my mistakes to that expert and Liu Juan! Just now, I also found the president of the association and wanted to issue an apology statement, but it wasn't approved!"

  As they approached the library, Zhou Qing stopped and said seriously: "Lin Da journalist, I advise you to give up this idea! Also, don't call me again!"

  Lin Hua was furious after hearing this, gritting his teeth and saying: "Teacher Zhou, I want to tell you something. Your college's Secretary He, when purchasing office equipment for the college in a certain year, used products from his wife's company. Ha! He made quite a bit of money from it!"

  Zhou Qing said impatiently, "What does this have to do with me?"

  Lin Hua smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, listen to me finish! This matter, I have solid evidence in my hands! You say, can Secretary He stop someone from evaluating the job title if I let him?"

  Zhou Qing sneered: "Are you threatening me?"

  "This isn't a threat, I'm just stating a fact! How about you think about it? Why let an unrelated person affect your beautiful life? It's just one phone call, and I won't even say it came from you, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

  Lin Hua finished speaking and waited leisurely. First, he would mention things that affected the other party's personal interests, then give them a step down, and finally use language to subtly guide them. This tactic, he had mastered it perfectly, and it was always effective!

  However, Lin Hua soon heard the sound of the phone hanging up, and the phone could no longer be dialed afterwards!
