Chapter 524 So This Is What You're Like - Wang Shuxiang
Above the node world, streaks of colorful light, invisible to the naked eye, surged like beautiful silk ribbons within the clouds.
The canine teeth were so greedy that their saliva was practically dripping.
Divine power, divine power, who wouldn't want divine power?
This is a divine authority that reigns supreme over all realm lords and is closest to the origin of the universe!
The canine tooth's heart was stirring with desire.
The old deity arranged for him to be trapped at this point in time, a period measured in billions of years.
He watched every day as the people of this small world fought tooth and nail for profit. Greed, selfishness, infighting, jealousy—all sorts of negative energies were on full display.
Unbeknownst to him, he was also affected to some extent.
At the very least, after the old god's fall, he dared to secretly extend his claws towards divine authority.
If he succeeds in stealing this part of the divine power, and then uses the boundary marker key, he can transform this star field into his own absolute domain!
Here, he is the truly unique god.
With that thought in mind, the canine tooth radiated its energy once again.
……
Lin Family, Anning County.
Wang Shuxiang was awakened by a nightmare again. She was drenched in sweat and her eyes were full of terror. Seeing the man next to her sleeping like a log, she mustered up her courage and pushed Lin Aiguo awake.
After Lin Aiguo took early retirement, he felt unwell in every way and found it very difficult to adjust. He also had a terrible temper and snapped, "Are you crazy for not sleeping in the middle of the night?!"
Wang Shuxiang, tears streaming down her face, was filled with fear: "I dreamt that there was a black dragon above our family's ancestral grave, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Do you think this means anything?"
"Comrade Wang Shuxiang, please do not promote feudal superstition."
Even so, Lin Aiguo's heart was still pounding.
No other reason than that he too had dreamt of this black dragon!
Could this really be a warning from our ancestors?
Lin Aiguo got up, put on his clothes, and made himself a strong cup of tea.
Damn it, ever since I retired, the quality of the tea in my house has dropped several grades.
Although Lin Xiaohe is successful, everyone knows her bad temper and is afraid that if they give her a bad gift, they will run into trouble.
During this period, the Lin family's house was deserted.
As Lin Aiguo sipped his tea, he murmured, "Don't think too much about it. We're just dreaming about what we've been thinking about during the day."
Wang Shuxiang's arms were trembling: "These days, Qiuju hasn't come to our house at all. And you're telling me not to think about it?"
Even if Wang Shuxiang was ignorant, she still knew a few things after being exposed to such things for so many years.
The more Wang Shuxiang thought about it, the more she felt that things couldn't continue like this.
She opened the bedside table drawer, pulled out a phone book, and muttered to herself.
“I can’t control you, and I can’t control the child. She’s single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder, and she wants to ignore her parents and everything else. But she’s my child, and I can’t abandon her.”
In the dim light, Wang Shuxiang's face was hidden in shadow.
The way she flipped through the contact book was as if she were staring at a Bible.
Late at night, Lin Aiguo's voice was low and menacing: "What do you want to do?" Wang Shuxiang: "Introduce her to someone. Isn't she just trying to climb the social ladder? Fine, let's climb! Women have their advantages too. Who wouldn't want to marry a wife like her? Pang Donglai Selected Supermarket is opening in Fengyang. I went to Fengyang last week. I met a very elegant lady who asked about our daughter."
"Who?"
"The wife of the district head of Kaixin District, Fengyang City. Her son is 25 years old. He was assigned to the Provincial Land and Resources Bureau after graduating from university and is now a deputy section chief."
Lin Aiguo's mind was buzzing: "I guess the news about the color TV has leaked out. Kaixin District is a newly designated area in Fengyang City. This area is remote and has few old industries. Its advantage is that it has no burdens and can start lightly. Its disadvantage is that there are few enterprises and no economic growth points. They are after the industry that our girl has."
Wang Shuxiang looked up, her eyes reflecting the light, flickering on and off: "Isn't that even better? Aren't we also after their family background? The district head of the new district should at least be a division-level cadre, right?"
The difference between a division-level cadre in a provincial capital city and a section-level cadre in a remote county or city is like heaven and earth.
Lin Aiguo scratched his head: "You've got a good idea, but if you're so capable, why don't you call your daughter back?"
The next day, Lin Xiaohe received an urgent call from home saying that Wang Shuxiang was sick and refused to go to the hospital.
"Haha, it's just that the parents miss their child. Director Leng, you can rest assured, the production line is already installed. All the technicians we sent to other factories have arrived, so production will definitely not be delayed!" the old factory director said with a smile.
Lin Xiaohe took a deep breath, feeling extremely weak.
Even if she can produce a series of patents, there are simply too many aspects involved in turning those patents from paper to production lines.
She simply couldn't handle it all by herself!
Talent is still the most precious thing in the 20th century!
She needs to find ways to recruit talent from all over the place: research talent, skilled workers, management talent, macro strategy personnel, marketing talent...
She wished these people could be like Dou Dou, who could produce a whole basket of fruit from a single bean in spring.
"I'll leave the factory to you for now. Sales of folding sauna tubs are on a steady growth curve, so we can continue production. Let's try to separate the color TV division within a month. Our nationwide distribution network has been established, and we can leverage that network to launch color TVs."
The old factory director nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, Director Lin has great foresight and is proceeding step by step. We will follow your lead and do exactly as you command!"
Lin Xiaohe rushed back to the Lin family home.
As expected, Wang Shuxiang was not sick; she was just faking it.
Lin Xiaohe plopped down on the sofa, picked up an apple from the table, wiped it briefly, and popped it into her mouth.
She had long suspected that her frequent unusual movements during this period would not be ignored by the Node World, and they would definitely take action.
So it seems the operation actually started with the Lin family?
Lin Xiaohe casually munched on her apple, secretly complaining that the operators in this node world had a much smaller vision than the operators in the original black hole!
Wang Shuxiang went on and on, the main point being that she hoped Lin Xiaohe could use marriage to climb up a powerful tree, making her future path easier.
Lin Xiaohe: "What if my rank is higher than that of a division chief in the future? Wouldn't that be a disadvantage?"
Wang Shuxiang said with exasperation, "What a silly child. Why don't we just find someone else?"
Upon hearing this, both Lin Xiaohe and Lin Haiguo were stunned.
Are they so adept at using the "crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge" tactic?
I never would have guessed that you, Wang Shuxiang, were like this.
Wang Shuxiang, however, felt it was nothing: "It was shown in a TV series that when Empress Wu Zetian neglected a male favorite, he cried and sobbed. Empress Wu Zetian then said that if a man were placed in a woman's position, he would be a woman. See? What does this tell us? In marriage, there are no men and women, only the distinction between strong and weak."
“Since you’re going down that path, don’t think of yourself as a woman. Men can marry into wealthy families, become sons-in-law, and use their in-laws’ resources to get ahead. Once they’re successful, they can just abandon their wives. Why can’t we do the same?”
Lin Xiaohe put down the apple from her mouth and looked at Wang Shuxiang with great interest.
This woman is quite good; she has room for improvement!
Lin Xiaohe chuckled; it seemed the operators of the Node World were about to miscalculate.
