Reborn King of Marketing

The heavy rain was still heavy the next day, and the sky was covered with thick clouds, as if it would stay dark forever.

The streets of Zhangjiacun have long since disappeared, and less than half of the courtyard walls have been submerged.

Floating in the stagnant water were wheelbarrows, flatbed trucks, shovels, hoes, and all kinds of sundries. There were even chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep from unknown families wandering around in the water.

On the roofs and walls, there are villagers everywhere wearing rain gear and pointing.

Across the wall and on the roof, the neighbors were chatting in spite of the heavy rain, but they were all exhausted and came out to let the air flow.

"Hey, what do you want for lunch?"

"Meat-filled steamed buns, one meatball!" the second child said with pride.

Neighbors like to compete with each other, especially in the village. If your family eats white-flour steamed buns, my family must also eat them, at least the flour-based ones. If you are rich and strong, you will be embarrassed to see others.

After hearing this, the man from before immediately turned his head and shouted towards the courtyard.

"My dear, let's make dumplings for lunch, one with meatballs. If you dare to put some green vegetables in it, I'll peel you off!"

The neighbor's second son snorted coldly, and turned around and shouted, "My family, send a cage to Xiao Bing's family. We owe everything we are to where we are today. We can't forget our roots!"

The dumpling maker refused to lag behind, and immediately shouted again, "When the rain is ready, give me two bowls to Xiao Bing's family. Our house is thanks to you, otherwise it would have collapsed due to the heavy rain!"

A woman yelled from the courtyard, "You are so heartless, I live next door to Xiao Bing's family, so I climbed over the wall and passed by. Our house is across the street, how can we get through such a heavy water?"

"Remove the door panel, I'll row over, hum!"

"You're crazy, you..."

Although the heavy rain was raging, the whole village was safe and sound. The villagers were immersed in this kind of short-term happiness and never tired of it.

Unlike the bustle outside, Zhang Xuebing's house was much deserted.

Only Su Wan'er was busy with lunch in the kitchen, and the little girl was locked in her room to study as usual.

The guest hasn't gotten up yet, so it's not convenient for the host to disturb him.

Zhang Xuebing was also bored in his room and had not shown up yet. This caused his sister-in-law to complain and made up her mind not to let him drink so much in the future.

It wasn't until the hand of the wall clock pointed at twelve o'clock and the cuckoo came out to chime the time that Zhang Xuebing walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. The most important thing was that he didn't know how to face Xiao Chenchen.

It is definitely impossible to marry her. After all, the two of them have no relationship foundation. They are not even friends. They are only business partners at most. It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Xuebing to spend his life with someone without feelings.

If more than ten years later, this kind of thing would be very simple and you would have to pay money to get it done. But in this era, even people in big cities are very conservative. Once someone seriously calls the police, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to wash away the crime. This crime must at least be punished.

Ten years in prison.

Moreover, he has been so embarrassed. From now on, he will be labeled as a rapist and get pointed at his back everywhere. But if the news spreads, will he still have the face to be seen by others? In the future, who among the grown-up girls and young wives will dare to visit his house?

He quietly returned to his room in the morning, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind was full of thoughts about how to deal with Xiao Chenchen after seeing him.

He even planned to confess to his sister-in-law and little girl and seek their forgiveness.

After much deliberation, I finally came up with no good idea, so I had to bite the bullet and walk out of the room.

The more he became afraid of something, the more Zhang Xuebing walked into the corridor, the door to the next door opened with a creak, and Xiao Chenchen, who was blushing and listless, walked face to face with him.

The two of them were stunned on the spot at the same time, their eyes facing each other, their mouths opened, but there was no movement.

After a long while, Xiao Chenchen broke the silence first, raised his hand to brush his messy long hair, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you have a cigarette?"

Zhang Xuebing doesn't usually smoke, but he always carries business cigarettes with him.

He touched his pockets with both hands, but found nothing. He quickly turned around and found half a box of soft-packaged items and a lighter from his old clothes, and handed them to Xiao Chenchen.

"Here you go, keep it and smoke it!"

Xiao Chenchen took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. His snow-white teeth left a mark on the filter.

Her hands trembled to light a lighter, but she couldn't light it. Finally, she threw the lighter at Zhang Xuebing angrily.

Zhang Xuebing raised his hand and grabbed the lighter, stabbed it a few times and the blue flames jumped up, then he put the flame in front of Xiao Chenchen.

As a burst of smoke rose, Xiao Chenchen coughed violently, causing tears to roll in his eyes.

She angrily grabbed the cigarette from her mouth and pressed the flickering hot butt against her tender lotus root-like arm.

"Hey, you're crazy!"

Zhang Xuebing suddenly jumped over and reached out to block the cigarette butt she was pressing down. However, the cigarette butt was pressed on the back of his hand, causing a burning and heart-wrenching pain.

"Let go, I can do whatever I want, it has nothing to do with you!"

Xiao Chenchen shook his shoulders violently, threw away his palm, and stared at him fiercely with eyes like fire.

Her look made Zhang Xuebing feel distressed. He raised his arms and took a step back slowly, frowning and saying.

"Things have already happened, why should you ruin yourself!"

Xiao Chenchen lowered her head, and her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, covering her cheeks. Only the gap between the hair revealed her starry eyes and bright red lips.

"It's better for me to abuse myself than for you to abuse me, you beast and scum!"

For the first time in his life, Zhang Xuebing was scolded and could not reply. He was stunned for a few seconds and finally asked the question he wanted to know most.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Chenchen suddenly pushed away her long hair that covered her face, and looked up and down Zhang Xuebing's body with a pair of angry eyes.

Zhang Xuebing's heart went crazy when he saw it, thinking to himself, this woman wouldn't want my parts for revenge, would she?

"Hey, what are you two standing here for? Are you looking at each other?"

Just at this time, the little girl opened the door from her sister-in-law's room and asked in surprise.

Zhang Xuebing was choked for a moment, but Xiao Chenchen turned around with a sad smile and said faintly.

"I drank too much last night and felt uncomfortable. I just woke up and asked him for a cigarette to cheer me up!"

As he spoke, he shook the cigarette case in his hand.

This was the voice of my sister-in-law coming from downstairs, "Come down and eat. The meat-filled steamed buns from the second brother's house next door are hot!"

"Sister Xiao, let's go have dinner!" Su Xin'er stepped forward and took Xiao Chenchen's arm affectionately, and asked with concern, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Hehe, okay, okay..."

Zhang Xuebing looked at the backs of the two of them and focused on Xiao Chenchen's swaying steps. Is this woman planning to perform the Yangko dance?

The little girl seemed to have noticed something strange about Xiao Chenchen, and asked softly, "Sister Xiao, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Ahem, sprained foot!" Xiao Chenchen gritted his teeth and said.

"Weiqiao, why are you twisting your butt?"

Today's lunch is the most awkward meal Zhang Xuebing has eaten since his rebirth.

Xiao Chenchen sat opposite him, and their eyes would meet from time to time.

Zhang Xuebing's heart was in his throat when he looked at her, really afraid that this woman would impulsively reveal what happened last night.

There are two different outcomes between admitting your mistakes and being exposed by others. The former can be regarded as being frank and lenient, while the latter may mean that you have to resist and be stern.

Just when Zhang Xuebing was about to find an opportunity to confess to his sister-in-law first, Xiao Chenchen pushed his job away, stood up and said.

"I've finished eating. Team Leader Zhang, I'm here to discuss business this time. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to talk to me alone?"

Zhang Xuebing cried out as if he was electrocuted, "Ah! This..."
