The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO

As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, Nie Zheng saw the village party secretary waiting for them.

"Hello, I'm Nie Zheng, the head of Touyun's R&D department."

Nie Zheng greeted the village party secretary enthusiastically, but when the smiling village party secretary heard that Nie Zheng was from Touyun, his expression suddenly changed.

"Touyun..."

Nie Zheng was confused: "Yes, it's Touyun. Have you heard of it before?"

The village party secretary quickly waved his hands and shook his head, forcing out a stiff smile and saying, "I haven't heard of it, I haven't heard of it."

This reaction made Nie Zheng a little confused. It was obviously just a normal conversation, but the other party seemed to have remembered some terrible past events. He was so scared that sweat broke out on his temples, and there was always some secrecy in his denials.

But what relationship could Touyun have with this village far away in the mountains? Nie Zheng was already dizzy from the car ride, and now she really didn't have the brain to think about these things. She just thought it was her own overthinking, shook hands with the village party secretary, and followed them into the village.

"Now, in order to save costs, many incense companies have begun to use artificial incense to save costs... Small workshops use cheap artificial incense, and large companies go to Vietnam and Pulau to purchase. Although the Wanxiang here is of good quality, it has no market. Manager Nie, I am very grateful that you are interested in our incense."

At the dinner table, the village party secretary drank two cups of wine and started talking. Seeing that the atmosphere was so good, Nie Zheng asked tentatively: "Have you really never heard of Touyun? Judging from your reaction just now--"

"I haven't heard of it. Of course I haven't heard of it. I'm just a small village official. I haven't even seen those big brands in your city. Manager Nie, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll have someone take you into the mountains to see the incense tomorrow."

The topic came to an abrupt end here, and she became even more suspicious. Even Xiaoyun and Yuan Ye next to her could see that the village party secretary spoke very unnaturally.

Xiaoyun tightened her clothes and said, "Why is this village party secretary acting so strange? Is it true that Yutou Village is haunted as they say on the Internet?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

She interrupted Xiaoyun, actually she was also wondering in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong exactly, maybe it was a sixth sense.

In the evening, the village party secretary arranged two rooms for the three of them, Xiaoyun and Yuan Ye, two boys, stayed in one room, and Nie Zheng stayed in a single room.

The incandescent lamps in the room had a very low wattage, and the tungsten filament bulbs seemed to have been burning for a long time, with some poor contact and flickering from time to time.

Nie Zheng didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but she was prone to having wild thoughts at night. Thinking of the abnormal behavior of the village party secretary during the meal, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.

Lying in bed tossing and turning, Nie Zheng opened his eyes in the dark, staring aimlessly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. It was Chong Jianzhi calling.

The call came at the perfect time. Nie Zheng picked it up almost immediately. The first sentence she said was not "Hello," but "Brother."

Chong Jianzhi nodded in agreement and asked again, "Are you tired? Is everything going well?"

Nie Zheng turned over and sat up from the bed, holding the phone in her hand, leaning against the wall. She had a lot to say, but her throat was too thin, so she could only utter one sentence: "Not bad."

He said "hmm", as if he had run out of topics to talk about, and then he fell silent with a clear conscience.

Nie Zheng couldn't hold back her anger and asked, "What about you?"

Are you tired? Is everything going well?

There was another moment of silence. Chong Jianzhi followed her example and replied calmly, "Not bad."

"It's okay."

Nie Zheng felt like laughing for some reason. She felt that the conversation between the two was silly and childish.

But she felt warm in her heart.

"Do you know about the ghost story in Yutou Village?" Nie Zheng was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, and suddenly asked Chong Jianzhi, "The news said that there is a female ghost in white clothes in Yutou Village. Many tourists who come here to travel have seen it. A few years ago, there were also tourists who disappeared."

As she was talking, Chong Jianzhi had already opened his computer and started searching. When he entered Yutou Village, most of the related entries were about haunted places. He clicked on any of the news, and the content was pretty much the same as what she said.

The female ghost in white in Yutou Village frightened tourists to insanity...

These news may seem shocking, but they have become a big gimmick for tourism promotion. Yutou Village is located in the mountains, and transportation is not well developed. Although it is rich in agarwood, it has no export channels. Most of the village’s income comes from tourism.

"After the rumor of Yutou Village being haunted, the number of tourists increased instead of decreased," he concluded. "This is probably a marketing trick. I don't believe in ghosts and gods. It's all a trick of people."

Nie Zheng hummed in agreement. She looked around the room and got goosebumps all over her body uncontrollably. "But this place is really scary."

"The phone is still connected."

"Hmm?" Nie Zheng didn't react. "What do you mean?"

"Our phone lines are always connected tonight. I'll be the first to know if you have any problems." He put down the documents in his hand. Talking to Nie Zheng did not affect his work at all. "Okay?"

Nie Zheng's heart felt like it was being squeezed, and she felt numb and tingling: "Okay."

The two people were in two different spaces, but because of the phone call, they seemed to be next to each other.

Nie Zheng was used to reading before going to bed. She put the pages of the book quietly, and heard Chong Jianzhi's voice in a video conference with overseas colleagues on the phone. He spoke calmly and fluently in English. Nie Zheng's English was poor, so she could only understand a little bit, which made her think Chong Jianzhi was even more amazing.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from under the bed. At first, Nie Zheng thought she was hallucinating, but after holding her breath and listening again, she realized that it was not an hallucination. There were indeed faint sounds coming from under the bed.

Late at night, people tend to have wild thoughts. Nie Zheng's hair stood on end and she sat on the bed not daring to move. After a long while, she mustered up the courage to stick her head out of bed. Suddenly, a fist-sized creature flew past her, a gray mass with a long tail behind it.

It's a mouse.

"what!"

Nie Zheng couldn't help but yell.

Chong Jianzhi, who was listening to his subordinate's report on the other end of the phone, was distracted by the scream and interrupted his subordinate with a "wait". He then picked up the phone and asked Nie Zheng anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Colleagues on the other end of the video looked at each other, wondering why the usually calm President Chong suddenly became so flustered.

"Frightened by a mouse?" Chong Jianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't be afraid. Do you have a broom or something like that? Pick it up, and when the mouse comes out, hit it on the head... Forget it, just shout and ask Xiaoyun and the others to come over."

Colleagues overseas who were eagerly waiting for Chong Jianzhi to continue the meeting were now stunned. It was already late at night in China, and Chong Jianzhi suspended the meeting just to teach people how to catch mice?

This scene is really weird.

It was too late, and Nie Zheng was too embarrassed to call Xiaoyun and Yuanye over, so she could only go up with the broom herself.

After struggling for more than ten minutes, Nie Zheng finally knocked the big gray rat unconscious to the ground.
