Chapter 291 Zhu Lin's Tears

I looked at the sky outside. It was already dark at five o'clock in the winter in Beijing.

Li Changhe then drove back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

I arrived at the door of my house, inserted the key in, and was about to turn the lock.

The door of the house was opened from the inside.

Then Zhu Lin's tearful face appeared.

"Long river?"

As soon as the door opened, Zhu Lin threw herself into Li Changhe's arms.

"what happened?"

"Who bullied you?"

Li Changhe entered the house with his wife in his arms and closed the door. At this moment, he stroked Zhu Lin's hair and asked softly.

However, a hint of frost flashed across his eyes.

Dare to bully Li Changhe’s wife. You must be tired of living.

"No one is bullying me, I'm just worried about you!"

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Zhu Lin came out of his arms and stared at Li Changhe with red eyes.

"You went out all day today and didn't come back. I thought you were arrested?"

Originally, Zhu Lin was not worried after she woke up, and she returned to the family quarters leisurely.

But when Li Changhe didn't come home until noon, she became a little worried.

After all, she knew what Li Changhe was doing today.

When talking with Director Liao, we wouldn't end up talking about lunch, right?
Maybe he was busy with others again?

Although she kept comforting herself in her heart, Zhu Lin was still worried. However, she did not dare to show it too much at home, for fear that her parents would notice something.

So after lunch, she found a random excuse and came back.

But after waiting for the whole afternoon, Li Changhe still didn't come back.

Zhu Lin became more and more anxious as she waited, and her mind couldn't help but full of random thoughts.

Until Li Changhe opened the door.

Hearing that his wife was acting like this because she was worried about him, Li Changhe felt touched and helpless.

Li Changhe kissed Zhu Lin's forehead gently and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"It was mainly an unexpected situation today."

"Come, I'll tell you slowly."

Holding Zhu Lin's hand, the two of them came to the sofa.

As soon as Zhu Lin sat down, she asked anxiously, "Changhe, what did you talk about today? Why did you talk for so long?"

"Actually, we didn't chat for too long. Director Liao went to a meeting and made me wait in the office for a whole day!"

Li Changhe explained to his wife somewhat helplessly.

"Waited for a day?"

"you."

After hearing this, Zhu Lin's face was filled with surprise and joy. She was surprised that Li Changhe had not come back for a whole day, and it turned out that he had been waiting for a whole day.

The good news was that her husband was not as dangerous as she had imagined, and she had been overthinking it.

"But this matter has come to an end."

"But this result is neither good nor bad!"

Li Changhe continued to speak to Zhu Lin at this time.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin anxiously asked Li Changhe, "What's the result? What did the higher-ups say?"

"It didn't say anything specific, but the same thing applies: the front is ours."

"But I have a new intention for my positioning."

“Some leaders want me to go out and become a capitalist!”

"Keep going out? Become a capitalist?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Lin was confused by Li Changhe's words and asked curiously.

"that is."

Li Changhe organized his words and told Zhu Lin about his positioning and intentions.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin sat there, speechless for a long time.

"Changhe, you mean that the country allows you to continue to make money outside so that you can buy some things for the country? Right."

"It's about the same. It's like the underground workers in the old days, doing business in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and helping the country raise funds."

"Of course, it's not that dangerous or exaggerated now. It's just about setting up a business abroad to help China accumulate experience and get some technical equipment."

Li Changhe explained to Zhu Lin with a smile.

After listening to this, Zhu Lin understood a little: "In other words, you may have to use that fake identity to go abroad more often in the future?"

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes! I guess in the short term, that identity will be used more often."

Zhu Lin thought of something else at this moment.

"What about the country in the future? Are you?"

Li Changhe sighed: "This is the disadvantage of this choice. My future is ruined!"

"It will be impossible for me to work and get promoted step by step in China in the future. I guess the best I can do is to keep my cadre status. There is no hope for me to become an official."

"If you don't want to be an official, then don't be one. There's nothing good about being one."

"I think it's good that you are safe now."

Zhu Lin had no interest in letting Li Changhe become an official, as she was not that kind of powerful person.

"Don't worry, I tell you, you don't have to worry about this in the future. The concept of capitalists will become less and less popular. The development of society requires capital investment and the operation of enterprises."

"So some of my previous ideas have to change. From now on, I will transform myself into a patriotic entrepreneur."

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Zhu Lin curled her lips: "Do you think that changing your name can change your nature?"

"Don't underestimate the change in name. The change in name actually represents the country's positioning of this thing."

"We can defeat capitalists, but we should support patriotic entrepreneurs. Do you think these two things conflict with each other?"

"There is no conflict at all. After all, how can a capitalist and an entrepreneur be the same thing?"

"But in essence, it is actually the same thing, but that's the charm of language!"

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with some emotion.

"Okay, we can't argue with you. Anyway, you have already chosen, and there is nothing we can do. Fortunately, you are still working for the country, so you have made a contribution."

Zhu Lin was confused by what she heard at the end, but she didn't care much.

As long as Li Changhe is fine, she will feel relieved.

Being an official or a capitalist makes no difference to her.

Besides, it’s good to be rich. At least now they live better than ordinary people.

Besides, it was the big leader who spoke, so Changhe could be considered a comrade who was contributing to the country and fighting on the secret front.

Zhu Lin finally let go of the worry in her heart.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Looking at the dark night sky outside, Zhu Lin expressed concern again.

"No, I ate a little at noon, but I haven't eaten dinner yet."

Li Changhe touched his stomach and found that he was really hungry.

"Then I'll go make some for you. You didn't eat the dumplings that mom made for lunch, so she asked me to bring some back. I'll go make some for you!"

Zhu Lin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Changhe did not ask in detail. After all, this "our mother" represents many meanings, and he didn't know which mother it was.

But no matter which mother it is, she is still his biological mother now, and she will think of him whenever she eats something good.

Soon, Zhu Lin came out of the kitchen with two plates of steaming dumplings. She then prepared a dish of vinegar sauce and helped Li Changhe wrap half a head of garlic.

I don’t know where he learned this habit, he likes to eat garlic!
"Have a meal!"

The two then sat down at the dining table for a warm and ordinary dinner!
