Chapter One

  Lin Dangdang got into bed, covering her face and fell asleep. She and Wang Dongshan were only good for work-related issues, without any romantic feelings between them. Their relationship was simply a mutually beneficial one. Wang Dongshan helped her because she was young and beautiful, and she slept with him solely because he had the power to help her achieve her goal of entering the literary association. What's the harm in sacrificing a little "love" for that? After all, what she lost could be regained after joining the workforce. Moreover, she hadn't lost anything and instead gained quite a bit.

  Lin Dingdong fell asleep in a daze, and when Wang Dongshan came to call her, she was still wandering around the Lotus Mountain in her dream.

  "What's wrong?" Lin Dindong said sternly: "I hate people who favor new things and discard old ones the most!"

  "What's wrong with you, sleeping?" Wang Dongshan wanted to hug Lin Dingdang.

  "Hands off!" Lin suddenly sat against the wall: "I'm not sleeping, waiting for you? You and she are so affectionate, like glue. Who am I?"

  "Don't be angry." Wang Dongshan got on the bed and hugged Lin Dingdang: "You really said it accurately, she is indeed a yellow flower lady!"

  "How can I thank you?" Lin Dingdong turned around and asked Wang Dongshan: "You've got a young girl in your arms, have you forgotten the important thing?"

  "What can I do?" Wang Dongshan forcibly kissed Lin Dingdong and whispered in her ear, "She is already mine now, you can rest assured."

  Lin Dingdong naturally wouldn't believe Wang Dongshan's words, a man in his thirties who spoke and acted like a child. A rural woman he had never met before, slept with him once, and suddenly became his? It was simply the most ridiculous thing under heaven!

  Lin Dingdong has her own views. If Tian Tingyu really wants to do something for Wang Dongshan, then she is also like Lin Dingdong, seeking help from Wang Dongshan. She always thinks that in this world, love does not exist. Whoever believes in love is a fool! Just like herself, within a month of entering university, the boys who chased her could fill an entire class. According to her ideal white knight standard, she chose a tall and handsome classmate named Zhang Madai as her boyfriend. Zhang Madai knelt under her skirt, solemnly promising: Life is precious, learning is more valuable, if for love's sake, both can be abandoned. In this life, I only love Lin Dingdong. If I don't keep my word, heaven will strike me with five thunders...

  Lin Dingdong hurriedly covered Zhang Madai's mouth, not allowing him to say these unlucky words, and indicated that she could accept his love. Who would have thought that in the first semester of senior year, the principal's daughter transferred from a university in the south to Lanhe University. In order to achieve the goal of staying on campus after graduation, Zhang Madai launched a romantic campaign towards the principal's daughter, ultimately winning her over with his tall and handsome appearance. At that time, Lin Dingdong accidentally became pregnant with Zhang Madai's child. Just as she was torn between keeping and aborting the baby, she received news of Zhang Madai's betrayal.

  What one hears is often false, what one sees is true. She stepped on the footprints carefully and caught Zhang Ma Da red-handed while he was flirting with the principal's daughter at the principal's home.

  She pointed at Zhang Madang's nose and scolded: "Zhang Madang, you son of a bitch, aren't you afraid that the heavens will strike you with five thunderbolts?"

  Zhang Ma pulled up his pants: "What? Miss Lin Dangdang, are you jealous?"

  Lin Dangdang's face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Zhang Ma Da: "You, Zhang! You said you loved me, that your heart would never change even if the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled. But now you're telling me this? Are you deceiving me?"

  Zhang Ma let out a cold laugh: "Love you?" Zhang Ma sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, propped up his legs and lit a cigarette, saying: "Love you? Who are you? Why would I fall in love with you?"

  "Zhang Madman!" Lin Dingdong rushed up and grabbed Zhang Mada's collar: "You scoundrel!"

  The principal's daughter came over and pulled Lin Dingdang away fiercely: "Let go! Don't move your hands or feet!"

  Lin Dangdang rushed to tell Principal Qianjin: "He loves me!"

  The principal's daughter sneered and asked: "Is that so?"

  Lin Dangdang exclaimed to Zhang Ma: "Ma Da, tell her that you love me!"

  The principal's daughter also asked Zhang Ma Da: "Say, who is it that you really love?"

  Zhang Ma spat out a mouthful of smoke rings and said to the principal's daughter, "Think about it, how could I have fallen in love with that country bumpkin?"

  "What did you say?" Lin Dingdong was about to pounce on Zhang Ma again, but the principal's daughter blocked him: "Did you hear that? He loves me, Miss, you can leave now!"...

  Through this experience of first love, in Lin Dindong's mind, love is something that writers fabricate to deceive young people. So, since there is no such thing as love, what makes Tian Tingyu become your Wang Dongshan?

  However, as if to specifically refute Lin Dingdong, Tian Tingyu actually helped Wang Dongshan and Municipal Party Secretary Chen Yuntian get connected, and this connection was not ordinary. Wang Dongshan became relatives with the Municipal Party Secretary overnight.

  "How was it?" Once Wang Dongshan and Lin Dindong asked: "I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

  Lin Dangdang kissed Wang Dongshan and said: "You are really great!"

  Lin Dingdong has a little nine-to-five job, and although her work problems have been solved, the road ahead still depends on Wang Dongshan. Wang Dongshan is related to the municipal party secretary, and with his rise to power, she can also bask in some of the glory. Moreover, all of this was achieved through her own efforts. It can be said that Lin Dingdong's contributions are immeasurable and unforgettable, making Wang Dongshan what he is today.

  She thought of Zhang Ma Da. Nowadays, Zhang Ma Da, before graduation, inexplicably let the principal's daughter get away, as a result, Zhang Ma Da staying at school to teach has become an illusion. If things go well, he can stay in the provincial city, if not, he may have to return to his hometown to be a teacher.

  Serves you right!

  Lin Dingdong was delighted to see Zhang Madai's dejected appearance. Didn't you say that I, a country bumpkin, am working at the Provincial City Literary Federation and editing "Lan River" magazine? And what about you, Zhang Madai, aren't you supposed to be awesome? How come it's been so long and you still haven't changed your fate of being stuck in this place? Lin Dingdong only understood today the true meaning of "Thirty years on the east bank, forty years on the west bank". I must closely follow Chairman Wang, I must firmly rely on Wang Dongshan. Only then can I, Lin Dingdong, rise step by step and overpower you, Zhang Madai, in all aspects. You bastard, Zhang Madai, just wait! Wait for your fate to be blown away by the northwest wind!
