Jiang, the special assistant, never imagined in his life that the job of a special assistant would include picking people up from the police station.
She was applying a face mask when she received the call from the police. The voice on the other end of the line was cold and indifferent, with a businesslike ruthlessness: "Hello, is this Ms. Jiang Wei?"
"Hello, I am Jiang Wei."
"I am a police officer from the Qingcheng District Public Security Bureau. Do you know Mr. Zhang Chaohe?"
Assistant Jiang had a vague sense of foreboding—she had jumped out of bed the moment she heard the words "Police Station": "Yes, may I ask what happened?"
The police officer's tone was strange, as if he was suppressing a laugh: "It's nothing serious. Mr. Zhang just stepped in to help catch a purse snatcher. He can leave now after cooperating with the investigation!"
Assistant Jiang: To be honest, I was really scared to death just now.
She quickly changed her clothes and headed to the police station—she even brought her lawyer along out of fear that the purse snatcher might cause trouble. When she arrived at the police station, Zhang Chaohe was sitting in the lobby, holding a cup of hot tea and chatting with the police officers.
There was also a large goose tied up next to him!
The young police officer looked on with admiration, sometimes slapping his thigh and laughing, sometimes sighing.
Assistant Jiang: She suppressed the urge to punch Mr. Zhang's handsome face and dutifully offered a sincere greeting: "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Zhang Chaohe said, clutching a crumpled wad of toilet paper stained with red ink. "I just had a sore throat from running too fast—can I go now?"
The young police officer quickly replied, "Sure, sure! Welcome back next time!"
Assistant Jiang: Actually, it's best to avoid the police station visiting too often, don't you think, Mr. Zhang?
The unfortunate lawyer, who had been dragged out of his home to work overtime, immediately stepped forward to handle the aftermath, making every effort to protect Mr. Zhang's innocence.
After Zhang Chaohe was led out by Assistant Jiang, she turned around, intending to discipline the unruly child, but saw that the young CEO's handsome and assertive face unusually revealed a wronged and pitiful expression: "Can you not tell my dad?"
Jiang's Special Assistant: "Okay."
"Then I'll tell your brother," she thought coldly.
"Don't tell my older brother either." Zhang Chaohe said, taking advantage of the situation.
“I don’t think that will work,” Assistant Jiang said with a smile, shattering his fantasy with a punch: “Wasn’t Mr. Zhang very fierce when he knocked someone down with a brick just now?”
Zhang Chaohe: "You're being sarcastic towards me."
Jiang's Special Assistant: ...
Did you take the wrong medicine?
Jiang's assistant forcibly shifted his attention to the illegitimate goose that Zhang Chaohe was raising, trying to calm his anger. However, the two of them had not gone far from the police station when they suddenly heard rapid footsteps behind them.
A soft, sweet female voice called out anxiously, "Mr. Zhang, please wait!"
Assistant Jiang instantly went into war mode. Her eyes sharpened, and although she wore a gentle and warm smile, a terrifying killing intent still emanated from her: "May I ask what you need?"
The girl stopped at a polite distance and waved her hands frantically: "No, no, no, I just wanted to thank Mr. Zhang!"
She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you today, I would have definitely lost my bag, phone, and documents. Thank you so much for your help!"
Zhang Chaohe was also very happy. It was a very peculiar sense of satisfaction—to be recognized, needed, and sincerely appreciated.
This is also the simplest social meaning of human beings.
Zhang Chaohe nodded seriously: "It's okay. Be careful when you walk alone in the future. If you can't guarantee your own safety, it's better to pay money to avoid disaster than to be reckless. Then call the police immediately, understand?"
The girl nodded repeatedly, and the two said goodbye on the side of the road.
Assistant Jiang looked at him silently. Today, the driver was driving a Bentley—a car Zhang Chaohe had never even seen before, probably because it had been sitting in the garage collecting dust for too long.
Just as he was basking in the joy of "I have so many luxury cars," Assistant Jiang suddenly said, "I won't tell Chairman Zhang or General Manager Zhang about what happened today."
Zhang Chaohe was overjoyed—he was really afraid that the two of them would nag him again.
Especially after he beat He Guangyin into the hospital last time, his father and older brother always felt that he hadn't passed his rebellious phase and wanted to send him back to middle school to study.
Just as he was about to sincerely thank Assistant Jiang for concealing the truth, his phone suddenly rang. Zhang Chaohe was startled, a bad feeling creeping over him.
Sure enough, when he looked at the screen, the caller ID clearly showed "Dad";
Zhang Chaohe: Assistant Jiang also looked bewildered for a moment—she really hadn't had a chance to complain!
As soon as Zhang Chaohe answered the phone, Chairman Zhang unleashed a torrent of abuse: "Why did you go and do something heroic again? What if the other person was carrying a knife! What if he's a desperate criminal!"
Mr. Zhang was leisurely drinking tea at home when he suddenly saw the sensational headline "Zhang Chaohe, the second son of the Zhang family, president of Jiasheng Group, bravely arrests a robber" on the social news page. He almost couldn't catch his breath. He scrolled down with trembling hands and saw that Zhang Chaohe was safe and sound. Only after Ms. Zhao patted his back to help him catch his breath did he recover.
Jiang's assistant suddenly remembered something, immediately opened Weibo's trending topics, and then sighed softly.
She held up her phone to show Zhang Chaohe the big "hot" trending topic on the hot search list, trying to prove her innocence in not betraying the enemy.
Zhang Chaohe almost choked up as he looked at his glorious deeds: I really thank you all!
Chairman Zhang was unaware that Zhang Chaohe had slipped away. He continued his tirade, trying to repeatedly admonish his youngest son not to do such a dangerous thing again.
Although everyone will speak eloquently during interviews, as a father, he really doesn't want his youngest son to suffer irreversible harm because of a moment of recklessness.
Love is selfish. Zhang Fulin could accept risking his life to do something heroic, but if he could, he would never allow Zhang Chaohe to do such a dangerous thing.
Just as Zhang Chaohe was about to give a perfunctory answer and try to brush off the call, Zhang Fulin suddenly stopped talking.
For a moment, the air went quiet.
"Dian Dian, Dad is so proud of you."
Zhang Chaohe hung up the phone, silently looked out the window, and his thoughts drifted far away.
If the other party had actually had a weapon, would he still have rushed over without hesitation?
Maybe or not—if he were too hot-blooded and determined to uphold justice, he would dare to charge at the enemy even if they were armed; but if his composure prevailed, he might step forward to protect the vulnerable girl, but he would never risk his life to reclaim his belongings.
He was indeed too impulsive this time.
However, he soon received a call from his older brother.
Zhang Yinshan's concern was as simple and unpretentious as ever, full of the arrogance and ruthlessness of a true tycoon: "Secretary Wang just found out that he has other criminal records—don't worry, Dian Dian, your brother will definitely make him pay the price he deserves!"
Zhang Chaohe: I like your writing.
After receiving two accusatory phone calls from three family members, he finally had time to check Weibo. Zhang Chaohe cautiously clicked on the hashtag #ZhangZhaohe'sHeroicAct#, as if he were unwrapping a precious gift.
It's like the anticipation and excitement a child feels when they get first place in their class for the first time—the whole world showers them with flowers and applause, as if welcoming a triumphant hero.
Although he may have only achieved a little bit of success.
When Zhang Chaohe opened the comments, his inner thoughts were much more complicated than he had imagined.
First comment: "I'm dying of laughter! What kind of official report is this: '[Citizen Zhang was walking his goose...]' I'm seriously going to laugh so hard my neighbor will have to rely on a hearing aid for the rest of their life!!"
Zhang Chaohe slowly typed a question mark: What are you doing, official daddy? Do you have to publicly execute someone like this?!
Article 2: [Little Zhang's fan club has changed its name to Zhang Da'e Global Fan Club, just waiting for his account to go 404 (doge)]
Zhang Chaohe: What the hell??
Article 3: "So Zhang Da'e raises vegetable leaves because they are both people who are quick to take on challenges?"
Zhang Chaohe: ?
How come the whole world knows my handsome son's name is Caiye (菜叶) now?!
The comments below gradually returned to normal, with everyone praising Mr. Zhang's courageous act and character—after all, the term "wealthy family" is often interpreted by the public as "shrewd," "selfish," or even "indifferent," among other heavy-handed adjectives.
As for the young master of the Zhang family, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was treated with great privilege, he was not immune to the same fate. In fact, he would be misunderstood even more because of his superior background compared to that of ordinary wealthy families.
Even though people like him and make fun of him for all sorts of strange reasons recently, it's still hard to truly get rid of the stereotypes.
But today, when justice needed to be served, Zhang Chaohe was able to react quickly and stand up for a complete stranger, which truly shattered a corner of the public's stereotypes—more and more people are remembering how many strangers' lives have been changed by the charitable work that the Zhang family has devoted themselves to over the years.
Each donation gave them the opportunity to create entirely new possibilities.
Occasionally, a few trolls would mock the Zhang Group, saying it was all just a show, but they would immediately be countered by enthusiastic netizens!
Hengxiang Group and Shengjing Group's social reputation soared once again, and they even seemed to have divine assistance in bidding for several important projects in the future, successfully winning the favor and praise of the government!
As the Zhang family became famous, a well-known women's talk show took the opportunity to request an interview with Mrs. Zhang, which Ms. Zhao Jinying gladly accepted.
However, the host unexpectedly slipped in his own agenda during the interview, asking a tricky question: "After you married into the wealthy Zhang family, you have never had a child with Chairman Zhang. Is there some kind of agreement you signed?"
"In other words, did you gain Chairman Zhang's approval and the possibility of getting along well with both Chairman Zhangs by selling out women's reproductive rights?"
The secretary outside the room was furious upon hearing this and immediately demanded that the reporter retract his offensive question. However, Ms. Zhao calmly gestured to stop him.
Ms. Zhao sat with an elegant and approachable posture, showing no sign of anger or distress after being insulted. Her demeanor was graceful and charming, and her gaze still held a firm yet gentle strength, making the host feel ashamed of himself.
"Since women have the right to give birth, they also have the right to refuse to give birth. First of all, having children will cause my body to become out of shape, and secondly, it also means that I will have to spend a lot of precious time and energy raising the next generation."
Ms. Zhao explained earnestly: "My husband already has two very outstanding and upright children, and I have a very harmonious relationship with my stepsons. I don't think I need to spend time and energy rebuilding my family."
"Secondly... anyway, my assets are enough for me to enjoy my retirement comfortably," Ms. Zhao joked, shrugging her shoulders. "After all, my quality of life is already at its peak. Even if I got more money, it wouldn't make me any more comfortable, would it?"
"Finally," Ms. Zhao's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness and pity, "I am very angry that you have speculated about me and my husband in this way and insulted my family. Please apologize to me and my family immediately!"
The interview sparked another wave of online discussion, with many calling Ms. Zhao a "top-tier, clear-headed wife of a wealthy family"!
[I saw an enviable confidence and self-respect in Ms. Zhao; this strength comes from living in love and warmth. Mr. Zhang's family must have truly treated her well.]
[Haha, what an innocent and unpretentious rich woman! Why does Ms. Zhao seem so fortunate to have two sons who are so easy to raise?]
Why must marrying into a wealthy family mean having children? This TV host, and a famous one at that… how narrow-minded can she be? I'd rather have my feet bound than throw a rag in my face!
[It's true that family members influence each other; judging from Xiao Zhang's personality, his mother must also be a gentle and kind person.]
During this week's routine visit to elderly people left behind in rural areas, Chairman Zhang happily received a "luxury large fountain pen inlaid with diamonds, which was purchased by Ms. Zhao through a friend's photo," praising Zhang Chaohe's noble spirit of being happy to make friends.
Of course, Zhang Chaohe's impulsive and reckless actions were also criticized more heavily.
The unlucky elder brother, Zhang Yinshan, was once again scolded by Chairman Zhang for his "putting a sack on top" comment.
⚹
Zhang Chaohe frequently trends on social media for various strange reasons, and his popularity has even surpassed that of Xu Shen, the former top streamer at Jiasheng Group.
In other words, before Mr. Zhang could even finish making money, he became an internet sensation!
More and more entertainers came to "The Shining Stage" to cause trouble, expressing their love for CEO Zhang in all sorts of creative ways. In the end, even artists from other companies joined in the fun, making it a chaotic scene where everyone showed off their unique talents.
Then, this amateurish live-streaming variety show inexplicably became a huge hit because of its outrageous antics...
Gain Capital's recruitment plan has been severely affected and hindered: Gain Capital's official Weibo account has repeatedly reiterated that the live broadcast program was created solely for recruitment purposes, and requests that those who love to create hype or engage in pranks voluntarily stay away from the program stage!
Zhao Xinyue finally couldn't take it anymore—she was being tormented by all sorts of demons and monsters every day, which was having a huge impact on her physical and mental health!
However, her fans are happy to see this happen, as if they weren't the ones who previously protested that their idol had too few activities.
