Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: It’s as if He and I Are from Two Different Worlds

The woman was two years older than him and had a bit of fame at Ancheng Court. She had resolved many complex cases with swift and decisive action, impartial and incorruptible, earning the love and admiration of the common people, who affectionately called her the Iron-faced Female Judge.

Because of this, she had faced difficulties in her love life. Still unmarried at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, she was considered an old maid by the standards of the times.

Li Jian’s father and the woman’s father were colleagues, and Mr. Li had the inclination, but he was also worried that his son would not be satisfied.

After all, which man does not like a gentle woman with tender regard? Everyone wants to marry a gentle and virtuous wife.

Unexpectedly, when he mentioned it to his son, his son actually agreed. He had not anticipated his son’s taste.

Mr. Li happily discussed it with his colleagues. Since they were the groom’s family, they were naturally more proactive. Once the two families met, they immediately hit it off, and the marriage was quickly set in motion. freёweɓnovel.com

"Congratulations to the groom!"

Lin Chuxia sincerely congratulated Li Jian when she saw him and gave him his gift.

"Congratulations to us both."

Li Jian wore a brand-new Sun Yat-sen suit today, his chest adorned with a big red flower, his face beaming with joy, radiating the spirited look of someone enjoying a happy occasion.

Lin Chuxia also saw his wife, who indeed did not look gentle, but was very beautiful.

With an oval face and prominent features, which probably came from her job, she possessed a sense of righteousness and sharpness in her eyes, and wore her courtroom uniform with a spirited and heroic air.

Lin Chuxia really liked this type of woman.

At the same time, at the wedding, she also encountered some acquaintances.

For example, Vice Director Feng from the Market Supervision Bureau.

Li Jian had been transferred to the Market Supervision Bureau and Vice Director Feng had become his direct superior.

Whether it was due to connections from Mr. Li or relationships on Li Jian’s own side, his attendance at the wedding was expected.

It was at the wedding today that Lin Chuxia learned that Vice Director Feng had been promoted: the former director had been transferred, and Vice Director Feng was set to replace him.

However, with the Spring Festival approaching, the announcement of the transfer would only be made official after the holiday.

When Li Jian mentioned this news, he did not hide that his transfer to the Market Supervision Bureau was orchestrated by Director Feng. He clearly didn’t consider Lin Chuxia an outsider.

"When the Emperor changes, so does his courtiers." With his transfer, he would certainly become one of Director Feng’s loyal followers.

Director Feng also had a good impression of Lin Chuxia, and during the meal, he made sure Lin Chuxia stayed at their table.

At the table, facing a group of officials from Ancheng County, Director Feng gave Lin Chuxia his affirmation.

"Work hard and set a benchmark for our private enterprises in An City—I have high hopes for you."

Xiyang Food Company was the first company in Ancheng County to be established in an individual’s name.

Director Feng was deliberately promoting it, both as a way to enhance his own achievements and to pave the way for Lin Chuxia and her company.

The others present were all seasoned veterans of the government scene. News of the food factory competing with an individual vendor had spread long before, and now that they had met her in person, coupled with Director Feng’s affirmation, they all looked at Lin Chuxia with new respect.
