Chapter 123: Fighting Fiercely

  Arriving at the office, Zhang Ziheng sat in his own seat, staring blankly. For a long time, he didn't speak. Zi Su walked over and saw the faint wound on the corner of Zhang Ziheng's mouth, and hurriedly asked: "Ziheng, what's wrong? What happened to you?"

  Zhang Ziheng shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I accidentally touched it just now."

  "What's wrong? Is there something going on? Zi Bian Jie?"

  "Ziheng, are you really okay? You're bleeding from the corner of your mouth." Zi Bian asked worriedly.

  Zhang Ziheng wiped his hand and smiled: "Really nothing's wrong, Zi Bian sister, don't be so startled."

  Zi Shi nodded slightly and continued: "Xu Zong found you and asked you to go to her small office."

  "Oh, okay, I'll go now." Zhang Ziheng smiled and nodded, getting up to head to Director Xu's office. Director Xu was sitting at his desk, organizing things. "Director Xu, you wanted me?"

  "Yes, sit down," said Director Xu with a smile. "Ziheng, what's wrong with your face? Who did this to you?" Director Xu asked with furrowed brows.

  Zhang Ziheng hurriedly covered his face and chuckled: "No one, just accidentally bumped into something earlier. Mr. Xu, what's going on?"

  Xu looked at him again, nodded, picked up an envelope on the table and handed it to him, saying: "This was mailed two days ago, for you. I was busy at the time and forgot."

  Zhang Ziheng took a look and said: "Director Xu, what is this?"

  "Hehe, how would I know? I haven't seen it before. Can't you just take a look and see?"

  Zhang Ziheng nodded, opened the envelope and took a look. Inside was a letter and an exquisitely crafted card. Zhang Ziheng opened the letter and read it for a long time; he was slightly stunned, patted his own head with his hand, shook his head and laughed: "Ah, I see, I had forgotten about this."

  Xu smiled slightly and said: "What's up? You look so happy, did you win a prize?"

  "Hehe, it's about time. A few months ago, before I lost my memory, I signed up for the 7th Creative Cup Flat Advertising Design Competition. At that time, I didn't think much of it, just idle and had nothing to do, uploaded a few works I did to the internet, unexpectedly was selected, I, I advanced!" Zhang Ziheng laughed.

  Director Xu was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed with delight: "Really? Ziheng, you...you really got promoted? Haha, this is just too coincidental."

  "Huh? Director Xu, what do you mean by that? Is my promotion based on luck or something? Is it because of the 'Wudong Qiankun', 'Jiuzhongtian', 'Xingkong Shen Yin', 'Wangzuo', 'Ye Fan', 'Ren Xiansheng Chuan', 'Shashen', 'Dazhou Huangzu', 'Qi Mo Xiuzhen Shijie', 'Guanjia Quanzhi Gaoshou', 'Jinyi Yexing', 'Chaoji Qiangbing', 'Xianfu Zhiyuan', 'Zaos Shen', 'Chuhan Zhengding', 'Buxiu Dan Shen', 'Zuiqiang Qi Shaoye', 'Sheng Wang Wujiazhuang'?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  "No, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that I also participated in this competition back then and even won the championship. I didn't expect you to participate too, what a coincidence!" Xu said with a smile.

  "Ah? Director Xu, you've also participated in this competition before? Hehe, that's quite a coincidence. Ah, right, Director Xu, since you've participated in this competition before, you must have a lot of experience, can you help me out?" Zhang Ziheng asked with a smile.

  Xu smiled slightly and said: "Of course, there's no problem. By the way, what time is the match?"

  "Hmm, let me see... the preliminary round is tomorrow?" Zhang Ziheng's eyes widened as he stared at the letter, somewhat disbelieving.

  "What? Tomorrow? So urgent? Are you mistaken?" asked Director Xu. Zhang Ziheng looked again carefully, shook his head and said: "No, it's indeed tomorrow. Ah, when I signed up until now, a long time has passed. Oh my god, the pre-match is tomorrow, what should I do? Director Xu, please tell me what to do?"

  "Zi Heng, don't worry, it's okay. Let me think for a moment... There should still be one more question card in the preliminary round. It's the work topic you need to do in the preliminary round, take a look at what the topic is," said Director Xu.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded, and picked up the envelope again to take a look. Indeed, there was another piece of paper inside. He opened it and found that it was the topic. "The topic is about environmental protection, and we need to make an advertisement board about it," Zhang Ziheng said.

  Xu nodded and thought for a moment before saying, "Hmm, environmental protection? This is okay, not too difficult. And there's still time now. Ziheng, since you're already back at the company, there shouldn't be anything else for you to do. You can start working on this right away." I believe it should be done by tomorrow morning.

  Zhang Ziheng took another look at tomorrow's match time and said, "Tomorrow's match is at 10 am, and the venue is at the Municipal Exhibition Hall. Director Xu, can you really make it?"

  "What? No confidence in yourself?" Xu asked with a smile.

  No, just is

  "Zi Heng, don't feel pressured at all. Just relax and you'll be fine. Remember, your goal is not to win the competition, but to create a good work. As long as you have this belief, you will definitely succeed." Xu Zong said with a smile.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and said, "Mm, I understand. Thank you, Director Xu. Then I'll go out now and get started."

  "Ah, wait a minute," said Director Xu, opening his computer and inserting a disk into the drive. After operating it for a while, he handed the contents to Zhang Wu and said, "These are some environmental protection pictures related to Nongjiale Village. I've organized them all, hope they can help you."

  Zhang Ziheng took it over and nodded with a smile: "General Xu, thank you so much."

  "Alright, no need to say more, as long as you create a great work, that's the greatest reward for me." said General Xu with a smile.

  "Okay, Director Xue, I'm leaving then."

  "Alright, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime, now go."

  Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Ziheng was very skilled and serious in controlling the mouse and keyboard. This was indeed a good thing for him. The current Zhang Ziheng really needed something to distract himself from his attention. Zheng Jie's incident had not passed long ago. Everyone's mood was not good, but now there was one thing that could make him wholeheartedly devote himself to doing it. It was the best medicine to heal wounds.

  Zhang Ziheng was so focused on his work that he didn't even take a lunch break, and had reached a state of complete absorption. Wang Xue walked into the design department with a paper bag containing a hamburger, quietly approached him, looked at him, and softly said: "Ziheng, Ziheng? It's time to get off work, let's go."

  Zhang Ziheng seemed not to have heard, and continued with his work. Wang Xue shook her head, and gently patted him on the back. He finally lifted his head and said: "Xue'er? Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to worry about me, and just go eat lunch by yourself?"

  "What are you talking about? Do you know what time it is now? It's already after work hours, look around, everyone has left. Are you confused?"

  "What? What's going on? Is it time to get off work? Zhang Ziheng hurriedly stood up and looked around, but indeed. Everyone else had left, and the entire design department was empty except for himself. "Good grief, I didn't realize time passed so quickly, in the blink of an eye it's already time to get off work."

  "What's with the blinking? You're really something, even if you were competing in a contest, you can't exhaust yourself like that. Alright, let's hurry up, you haven't eaten all day, first have a hamburger to fill your stomach, and when we get home I'll make you some delicious food." Wang Xue said with a smile.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and sat down, saying: "Wait a minute, I'll save this for now. It'll be fine in a bit."

  "Hey, you're not thinking of taking this home to cook, are you?" Wang Xue asked.

  "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Zhang Ziheng put things away after saving them. "Ziheng, you don't actually need to participate in that competition, what's the use? Even if you win the championship and get the prize money, what can you do with it? We're not short of that kind of money, if you're lacking money, I can give you some." Wang Xue said.

  Zhang Ziheng put away his things, took a bite of the hamburger and nodded, saying: "Hmm, it tastes good. You know what? I'm actually hungry. Alright, let's go."

  "Hey, are you even listening to me?"

  After a day and night, Zhang Ziheng finally completed his own work.

  Pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, staring at the screen. He smiled slightly. At this time, the alarm clock rang, Wang woke up with a start, stretched and looked out of the window at the sky that was not too bright yet, and let out a yawn.

  Zhang Ziheng turned around and smiled: "Awake?"

  Wang Xue looked at him and was slightly stunned: "You didn't sleep all night? My goodness, aren't you tired?"

  Zhang Ziheng also yawned and said: "Of course I'm tired, but it doesn't matter. We've finally achieved something. Xue'er, take a look, how is it?"

  Wang Xue didn't have the energy to care about those things, hastily got out of bed and said: "Alright, you quickly get into bed and sleep, don't go to work today, take a good rest, understand?"

  "No need for you to say it, I couldn't go to work today anyway. I have to rush to the Municipal Exhibition Hall for a competition before 10 o'clock," Zhang Ziheng said with a smile.

  "What? You're not going to sleep? No way. Today, no matter what, you have to go to bed and sleep, otherwise... I won't let you leave this house." Wang Xue said.

  Zhang Ziheng smiled slightly and saved his work. Then he said, "Xue'er, go make breakfast. I have to leave after we eat. Be good and listen."

  "No", you

  Zhang Ziheng got up and kissed her, smiling: "Listen, in a while brother will buy you candy to eat."

  Wang Xue pouted, humming a soft tune. She turned and headed to the kitchen. Zhang Ziheng stretched his neck, feeling sore all over his body, extremely tired, as if he had just fought a battle. However, despite this, his heart felt light, knowing that he hadn't let Xu's expectations down. Now all he could do was wait for the competition, wondering what kind of opponent he would face.

  After a day and night, Zhang Ziheng temporarily forgot about his affair with Zheng Jie. Even the pain on his face was no longer felt. Although Yu Xuan had beaten him, Zhang Ziheng still couldn't forgive himself, it seemed he would carry the title of "heartless rogue" for the rest of his life.
