Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 432 - 431 Deputy Director Zhang Uses Force

The people in the courtyard all changed color dramatically, and Mrs. Xu’s face turned pale.

Her body involuntarily softened a bit, and she was about to faint and fall, if Xu, standing by Yu Yu’s side, hadn’t promptly supported Mrs. Xu, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

"Mom, don’t be afraid. What era are we in now? They wouldn’t dare to use force.

Even if they did use force, we’re not without people in our family; if worst comes to worst, we’ll fight back," Xu comforted.

Second Brother Xu also frowned, losing his good impression of Deputy Director Zhang.

Xu Qiuye was also full of anger.

Deputy Director Zhang, what do you mean by this? Trying to force your way?

Mr. Xu’s face also looked unpleasant, staring at Deputy Director Zhang, his lips moving.

Zhang Linyu also got quite a scare and didn’t understand what Deputy Director Zhang meant.

Xu Shengwu’s face was so red with anger that he was about to step forward to speak.

"Zhang—" He hadn’t even finished his sentence.

Deputy Director Zhang’s demeanor changed completely, and he said with a smile, "Hahaha, buddy, I didn’t scare you, did I? I was just joking."

Mr. Xu’s forehead dripped with sweat, and as Deputy Director Zhang’s voice fell, everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

"Deputy Director Zhang, that was a rather extreme joke," came a voice, and Director Gu, with his daughter, stepped through the door.

Xu Shengwu’s face lit up with a smile the moment he saw Gu Fuzhu: "Uncle Gu, Fuzhu."

Director Gu nodded his head at Xu Shengwu and said with a smile, "I’ve heard about you two from Fuzhu. You young man, you ran off with my daughter without a peep, not bad."

Xu Shengwu grinned, his face full of pride.

Gu Fuzhu’s face reddened with shyness, and she looked at Director Gu and coquettishly called out, "Dad."

"I didn’t say much, did I?" Director Gu said irritably, his wife was right, their daughter was like a little cotton-padded jacket that let the draft through.

After saying that, Director Gu laughed and teased Deputy Director Zhang, "What’s the matter, Old Zhang, are you trying to steal my son-in-law?"

Deputy Director Zhang gave a sheepish smile upon seeing Director Gu; he never expected him to show up.

Caught trying to undercut someone in public and discovered by the person involved, Deputy Director Zhang’s face couldn’t quite hide his discomfort.

"Old Gu, what do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand. Are you suggesting that Village Chief Xu’s youngest son is dating your daughter?"

Director Gu nodded, his gaze at Deputy Director Zhang filled with deep meaning.

The old bastard really had no shame. If he hadn’t arrived by chance, his future son-in-law might have been bullied.

"Ah, if only you had told us about this matter earlier, I wouldn’t have had the nerve to do such a thing," Deputy Director Zhang said, no longer showing any sign of drunkenness.

Now he was completely sober.

Director Gu smiled. He was well aware of Deputy Director Zhang’s ambition.

That guy was just waiting for him to offend enough people, hoping for some kind of retribution.

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t go his way. Not only would he not face retribution, but he was also praised by the leaders, and they planned to promote him directly.

Once he got promoted, the position would go to Deputy Director Zhang.

Director Gu knew him well; he couldn’t just watch this man bring disaster to Yu County.

In the past few years, Deputy Director Zhang had engaged in plenty of shady matters, and he must unearth these issues before feeling at ease about being transferred from Yu County to another place.

"I’m saying, Old Zhang, you can’t possibly be that thick-skinned," said Director Gu with a sigh, looking at Mr. Xu, "Let’s have a drink together, I’ve been incredibly frustrated lately!"

Mr. Xu, clueless, thought about how his son was already dating Director Gu’s daughter, and since Director Gu hadn’t raised any objections, it seemed that the matter was practically settled.

Originally, Director Gu was very approachable, and with this kind of relationship, Mr. Xu no longer felt the awkwardness he did when facing a senior official, and asked, "What’s wrong? Are you able to talk about it?"

Director Gu gave a small smile. "What’s there to talk or not talk about? It’s all about the college entrance examination. This time I’ve uncovered quite a few cases of students taking the exam in place of others, and several of them are from our very own county.

One by one, their parents are officials; they’re leaders of our state-owned enterprises, and yet they’re assisting their own children in doing such things. It really chills my heart!"

Hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang’s expression paused, and his mind instantly conceived a devious plan.

"Go on without me, I need to use the bathroom," said Deputy Director Zhang as he stood up to leave.

When he reached his secretary, he whispered, "Go check who’s on the list of exam substitutes that Director Gu has investigated this time and try your best to get ahold of that list. If you handle this matter well,

once I rise to become Director Zhang, I remember there’s a need for a township head in ** town, and that’s far better than your secretarial position. If you perform well as a township head, you can even move up further. But if you stick with secretarial work, there’s not much chance for promotion." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The secretary, clearly understanding the opportunity at hand, nodded and left briskly with a serious expression.

When Xu Ying returned home in the afternoon, Director Gu and Deputy Director Zhang were still there.

She greeted everyone with a smile and then turned to find Gu Fuzhu, saying cheerily, "Future sister-in-law, you’re here too. Are you here to see my Third Brother Xu?"

Xu Ying didn’t know that Zhang Linyu had a crush on her Third Brother Xu and spoke without considering this, infuriating Zhang Linyu beside her, who looked green with envy and wished her glare could kill Xu Ying.

"Yingying, don’t spout nonsense, I’m not that yet!" Gu Fuzhu interrupted quickly, glancing at Zhang Linyu, worried about her feelings.

Zhang Linyu raised her chin upon hearing this, "It’s just that we’re not married yet, nothing is certain."

Gu Fuzhu wasn’t much prettier than her, and they both had similar academic backgrounds, both were college students and attended the same university as Xu Shengwu. Over these three years, she simply refused to believe that she couldn’t win back Xu Shengwu.

If Xu Shengwu liked the power that Gu Fuzhu’s father held, then her own father would soon be able to replace Gu Fuzhu’s father.

Everyone knew that Director Gu was investigating the exam substitution cases, and he was relentless, showing not an ounce of personal sentiment.

Many approached her father for help, hoping that with his intervention and a collective anonymous letter, they could take down Director Gu.

Xu Ying looked at Zhang Linyu, puzzled.

Gu Fuzhu whispered, "This is Deputy Director Zhang’s daughter, Zhang Linyu!"

"Interested in my Third Brother Xu?" Xu Ying asked.

Gu Fuzhu’s face showed surprise, "How did you know?"

"The minute my Third Brother Xu is mentioned, the air fills with the scent of gunpowder. It couldn’t be because you’re interested, could it?" Xu Ying said with a laugh, clearly sensing that this person did not get along with Gu Fuzhu, so it could only be Third Brother Xu.

Zhang Linyu, watching the two of them whispering together, instantly became irate, "What are you two whispering about?"

"Mind your own business!" Xu Ying wasn’t one to cater to such attitude.

"You!" Zhang Linyu was furious but, remembering that this was Xu Shengwu’s sister, she held back her anger, "Then I won’t meddle. I don’t even care."

Once she married into the Xu family, she thought, the first thing she’d do would be to sort out this little aunt who didn’t know the first thing about manners.
