Chapter 208 Zhang Lan’s Marriage!
"Ah?" When Lan Xin heard that Zhang Lan was divorced, a look of shock and sadness appeared on her pretty face, and she asked with concern: "Zhang Lan, are you already divorced?"
"Yes. We have been separated for a year." Zhang Lan said frankly. "I'm embarrassed to say it. I didn't serve any wine during the wedding, and I didn't notify my relatives and friends. Don't blame me."
"It's okay. I wasn't in Mingzhu a year ago." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "When you get married next time, I will make up for what I did last time."
Zhang Lan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After suffering a loss, I no longer have confidence. Besides, a woman does not have to be married to be happy."
Xiao Zheng did not comment on this, but asked curiously: "You haven't told me who your ex-husband is yet. How did you meet? Whose problem is the divorce?"
Zhang Lan rolled her eyes at Xiao Zheng and complained: "I remember you were not such a gossip before."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "People change. Come on, let me help you analyze your ex-husband."
"There's nothing to analyze. He and I met at a party. He had a good impression of me, and then asked me to have dinner every now and then. As time went by, we started to have feelings for each other." Zhang Lan said with a very calm emotion said. "I was just a junior clerk at the time, but he was already the middle-level leader of our Mingzhu Guard District. In terms of status, he was definitely much better than me. But he was not old, in his early thirties. In the guard district, he was one of the very A promising military officer. Later, because of the pressure from his family, he proposed to me again and again. Finally, I couldn't stand his pursuit, so I agreed. "
Xiao Zheng listened to Zhang Lan's introduction and said curiously: "That's great. You are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven. Why did you divorce so soon?"
"Even if we get to the stage of divorce, many people will think I'm stupid for letting such a good man go." Zhang Lan said helplessly. "But how can others know about my own affairs? He is indeed good, has a good family background, and has strong personal work ability. When I married him, it seemed that I had surpassed him. But in the life of a couple, they have always lived a life of daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. Can you live by your imagination?”
"Living on imagination?" Xiao Zheng said evilly. "Is your ex-husband a gay?"
Zhang Lan rolled her eyes at Xiao Zheng and said with a wry smile: "Your thoughts are getting more and more evil now." After a pause, Zhang Lan said slowly. "We are all old classmates, and I don't need to hide it from you. Or maybe you are all people who have entered society. You should know that people like us who have a little power in our hands still have a lot of temptations around us."
"I really envy you powerful people." Xiao Zheng said with jealousy.
Zhang Lan ignored the insulted Xiao Zheng and continued: "I dare not say that I am so upright and honest that I have made it this far. If I didn't accept a penny and didn't help anyone, I would definitely not be able to climb up in my life. . But in my world view, I can use my functions to help some people and get some extra income, but I definitely can’t help everyone. I can do things that benefit myself and others, but I can’t do things that benefit myself and harm others. "
"Something you do and something you don't do. It's a good thing." Xiao Zheng nodded and said. "If there are more officials like you in China, the conflict between the government and the people may not be so big."
Xiao Zheng is not a three-year-old child, let alone a good baby in an ivory tower. He knew that Zhang Lan could sit in the position he was in today. Hard work and work ability alone were not enough. Being able to do things, being a good person, understanding the ways of officialdom, and being able to adapt to the living environment are the keys to climbing up step by step.
So he agreed with Zhang Lan's point about taking money, but not everyone's money is taken.
"But he's not." Zhang Lan's face turned slightly lonely. "I help people take shortcuts,
But I don’t help others do bad things, and I don’t help others do harm to others. But he has no principles. In his heart, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will do it no matter whether it is good or bad, whether it will cost anyone's life. And do it to the extreme, to the point of being scary. I persuaded him several times, asking him to accumulate some virtue and not to do too much in everything, but he refused to listen, and openly told me that everything he did was for this family and for me. "
Zhang Lan smiled bitterly, took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, and said with blurred eyes: "Actually, we are all public servants. In the words of others, we serve an iron rice bowl, and we eat and drink at public expense. We don’t have to spend money on our own money to buy a car or a house. We don’t even have the opportunity to use our daily wages. We never run out of tobacco, alcohol and fruit. We can live a well-off life just by selling tobacco and alcohol, so there is no need to benefit ourselves at the expense of others. Yinde goes to take those unconscionable money?”
Zhang Lan took a puff of cigarette, puffed out a faint stream of smoke, and said slowly: "I could bear it at first, but as time went by, I gradually became disgusted with what he did, and even felt disgusted."
"So you filed for divorce?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Zhang Lan smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, we didn't talk much after we were married for less than a year. He wouldn't talk to me when he came home every day, and would fall asleep. I was not in the mood to chat with him either. It often lasted ten and a half days. "Yue, we only communicate by looking at each other, and we don't even communicate. He didn't propose divorce, but he actually wanted to force me to do so. After all, he has always had a good image outside and is a good man who respects his parents and loves his wife." , Zhang Lan said lightly. "In this case, I can only file for divorce in the end."
"This grandson is quite shrewd." Xiao Zheng curled his lips.
"If he wasn't smart, he wouldn't have been able to reach his current position." Zhang Lan said slowly. "It's even more impossible for everyone to scold me. Including his family and my family."
"Everyone scolds you, so have you ever thought that the problem may be with you?"
Suddenly, a cold and steady voice came from not far away. Everyone turned around and saw a man in military uniform, followed by several cold and upright soldiers, striding towards them.
His back was very straight, and his face was also firm and cold. He seemed to be an excellent officer who walked out of a movie, exuding a strong aura.
Zhang Lanfu saw him at a glance, and his face changed subtly. A hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes, and he pursed his lips and said: "Does it matter whether it is my problem or not? I have given you everything you want, and I have also given you everything you don't want. Are you still not satisfied?"
