Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

This matter in the entertainment industry opened Zhang Xiuhua's eyes. At the same time, she began to worry about Zhuzhu again. As the saying goes, "A red plum is red, and a black plum is black." If everyone around you does the same thing, those who don't want to do it will become the odd ones out.

Will Zhuzhu be led astray? !

Zhang Xiuhua felt melancholy for the first time, thinking that her little white rabbit was surrounded by a group of hungry wolves. But Zhuzhu didn't give her a chance to think about it, "Mom, where are you going to hire a bodyguard?"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't think much about it. "Your dad is a soldier after all, although he hasn't been in the army for many years. But there are old comrades who are still serving in the army. Write to them and ask if there are any special forces soldiers who are about to retire. This thing can still be done."

In fact, this can be regarded as creating a job for veterans. Now that state-owned factories have closed down one after another, there are not so many jobs for veterans at the moment. If we can arrange one less job here, the better.

Zhuzhu smiled and said, "Mom, you must find someone strong. It would be best if he can knock down a strong man with his bare hands."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know if it would work, but Zhuzhu didn't object and was looking forward to having a bodyguard to protect her. Zhang Xiuhua was also very relieved, "I'll try my best to help you. If you can't find one, you can just make do with it."

In a blink of an eye, Zhuzhu went to shoot a commercial. Because her voice was hoarse, she shot the commercial first and added dubbing later.

After filming the commercial, Zhang Xiuhua and Zhuzhu returned to the capital together, and they went to visit Zhenzhen together.

Zhenzhen has finished her confinement. Because she had a confinement nanny to take care of her, she didn't suffer much. Her face is whiter and tenderer than when she was just born.

When August became a big sister, she started to act like a teacher. Even though her little sister couldn't speak yet, she would wave all kinds of toys in front of her little sister, and while playing with them, she would teach her to read, "This is a rattle."

When the little girl stretched out her hand to play, August refused to let her play. The little girl cried anxiously.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Shiyue and said, "This child looks like Zhenzhen, with fair skin. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."

Youcai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if she's not pretty. The main thing is to be capable. Just like Zhenzhen."

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him in surprise. This wooden-headed man could actually say sweet words?!

Youcai's face turned red when she stared at him, and he quickly looked away.

After seeing the child, Zhang Xiuhua was anxious to go home to apply for an ID card, so she took the train back to her hometown.

When Li Jianguo saw her coming home, he was still wondering, "Aren't you going to accompany Zhuzhu? Why are you back so soon?"

Zhang Xiuhua raised her hand, "Don't mention it. I was almost burned to death!"

Li Jianguo's heart skipped a beat and he became nervous. "What's going on? Is filming dangerous?"

Wasn't it said that this was a costume drama? How come there was an explosion?

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Zhang Xiuhua quickly explained the whole story.

Li Jianguo took a deep breath. There was a fire in the bar and people died. "It was reported in the newspaper a few days ago, but I just took it as news. So you were also at the scene? Why didn't you call me?"

Zhang Xiuhua waved her hands, "I'm fine! We hid in the bathroom and saved our lives. Those people..." At this point, she was suddenly stunned, "By the way, did you read the newspaper? Did it say how many people died?"

"233 people died, 20 were injured, and there were 15 survivors." Li Jianguo was filled with emotion when he saw the report. You know, all the dead were young people. It's such a pity that they died so young after their parents worked so hard to raise them.

Who would have thought that his wife and daughter were there too. Although they were in the same city, he never thought about it that way.

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a long time. So many people died. That means only 20 people were saved.

Seeing Li Jianguo staring at her with a accusing look, Zhang Xiuhua knew that he was still angry that she didn't tell him, and she clapped her hands, "I wouldn't tell you if I was fine. If there was something wrong, I would definitely call you back as soon as possible."

Li Jianguo sighed and complained to Zhuzhu, "How could she take you to the bar? Why does this kid always run to dangerous places?!"

"It's normal for children to like new things." Zhang Xiuhua rubbed her brows, knowing that he had a prejudice against dancing. She thought that men and women hugging each other was immoral, so she changed the subject, "By the way, did Ergou call back?"

Li Jianguo shook his head, "No. Do you have something to do with him?"

Zhang Xiuhua really had something to talk to Ergou about, but there was no need to rush. She told him that Zhuzhu was being targeted by those bosses.

Li Jianguo didn't believe it at first, "Two hundred thousand for drinking with me? How is that possible?"

Many people can't make 200,000 yuan in their lifetime. Are those people willing to pay so much just to have Zhuzhu drink with them? Did they get their money from the wind?

"I didn't lie to you. I heard from Zhuzhu that there are many women in their company who like to accompany the boss for dinner and drinks." Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianguo to write letters to his former comrades to see if there are any retired female special forces soldiers who can protect Zhuzhu.

Seeing how serious she was, Li Jianguo finally believed her. "I can write a letter." He hesitated. "What kind of person did Ergou hire? Isn't this pimping?"

"It's something we both agreed to." Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "They are exploiting legal loopholes. And Ergou's company doesn't take commissions. In fact, they are just helping them to make connections. They want those bosses to invest in the company's projects. Those actresses are also happy to do so. I also heard from Zhuzhu that not only actresses, but many male actors also take this path."

Li Jianguo still couldn't accept it, but he also knew that times were different now. As long as it was not illegal, even if it was immoral, many people would rush to do it!

Li Jianguo ran to write a letter to his comrades, while Zhang Xiuhua called Ergou and asked him how the factory was doing, "Did Ma Xuenong sell the factory to you?"

She was really afraid that Ergou would fall for Ma Xuenong again. This man was a lunatic. In order to transport Niu Hong in, he did not hesitate to destroy the factory. Ergou had no chance of winning against such a man.

Ergou laughed on the other end of the phone, "Godmother, I took over. It cost three hundred thousand."

Zhang Xiuhua was puzzled, "Did he really sell it to you?"

"Yes, my bid is fifty thousand more than the others. Who would complain about having too much money?" Ergou's voice was filled with joy.

Zhang Xiuhua felt that Ergou hated Ma Xuenong to the core, so how could he have an extra 50,000 yuan? "Are you planning something bad?"

After thinking about it, she could only think of this possibility. Ergou was not the type to repay kindness with grievance. He was very clear about the distinction between public and private affairs, so it was good enough that he did not retaliate. How could he take the initiative to help the other party?

Ergou smiled happily on the other end of the phone, "My godmother knows me best! I transferred all the money to Niu Hongyun's account."

"Ah?!" Zhang Xiuhua was shocked, but then she understood. The major shareholder of the factory was Niu Hongyun, and Ma Xuenong wanted to sell the factory while Niu Hongyun was in jail. Ergou took advantage of this and transferred the money directly to Niu Hongyun. Niu Hongyun was the legal person and the major shareholder, and he signed a contract with Niu Hongyun, which was legal and compliant.

Even if Ma Xuenong hired a lawyer, he couldn't win the case. And if Ma Xuenong wanted to get the money, he could only ask Niu Hongyun for it. But would Niu Hongyun give it to him?

Of course not! Niu Hongyun was imprisoned because of Ma Xuenong's frame-up. He wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and he would never give him money even if he became a deadbeat.

"Let them fight each other, your idea is really great." Zhang Xiuhua had to admire Ergou's method. Ergou and Niu Hongyun only had a business war, no personal grudges. At the beginning, Niu Hongyun wanted to buy Ergou's clothing factory at a low price. Although it was considered as adding insult to injury, Ergou could understand it from a business perspective. So when Ergou used this trick, Niu Hongyun would not hate Ergou. On the contrary, he would be grateful to Ergou. After all, Ergou helped him keep the last 300,000 yuan. When he got out, he could use this 300,000 yuan to make a comeback.

Ergou's voice was full of joy. "I feel relieved now. Whoever made me suffer, I will make him suffer for the rest of his life."

He didn't want to be a saint. He had to take revenge! He couldn't stand being betrayed by his brothers and being mocked by people in the circle for being blind!

Zhang Xiuhua also laughed, "You have finally resolved your worries. By the way, where is He Tingting?"

"She has no shares, so this has nothing to do with her. But they are likely to get divorced." Ergou sighed, "They came together because of interests, but of course they will fall apart because of interests. She came to me and wanted me to give her a job. But I dare not hire her."

Although he had no evidence that he was betrayed by Ma Xuenong because of her. But the two were husband and wife, who knew what bad things they were planning. And He Tingting's professional ability was not so good that she was indispensable. Ergou didn't want to take any risks.

Zhang Xiuhua saw that he was calm. She had witnessed Ergou's transformation from self-destruction to hysteria. Now he could talk about these two people calmly, which showed that he could face them calmly. This was progress.

"You did the right thing! You should be on guard against others. Don't fall into the same pit twice." Zhang Xiuhua praised his methods and asked him to help with another task. "Do we have any money left in our company's account? I want to donate some clothes to the fire department in Daguan City? Just do it in my name."

Ergou was slightly surprised, "Why did you think of donating money to the fire department?"

Zhang Xiuhua talked about how she was almost burned to death in the fire, "They saved Zhuzhu and me in the end. Zhuzhu is a star, it's not appropriate for her to come forward. Why don't I come forward personally?"

Ergou was terrified when he heard this, "Godmother, why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm fine. Zhuzhu is fine too. I've returned to my hometown." Zhang Xiuhua heard his voice change and knew he was worried about her, so she tried to comfort him, "I just want to thank them."

Ergou breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay! Leave it to me!"

The two chatted for a while, and Ergou hung up the phone as he had other things to do.
