Cao Mo took a taxi to Yinguang Plaza when Cheng Xi got off work, and specially walked to the underground garage to find Cheng Xi's car, wanting to surprise her, but she didn't want to wait for a while to see Cheng Xi reluctantly follow her mother Yang Lifang from the elevator on the north side to the parking lot.

Cao Mo flashed around and stood behind an off-road vehicle, and when Yang Lifang lowered her head and took out the car keys from her bag, she showed her head and beckoned to Cheng Xi - Cheng Xi pointed helplessly at her mother, and then pointed in the direction of the elevator, signaling Cao Mo to go to the building first.

Seeing Cheng Xi and her mother sitting in the car and slowly leaving, it was inconvenient to call or text at this time, so Cao Mo took the elevator to the lobby of the office building above.

Yinguang Plaza is divided into two parts: shopping mall and office building, at this time it is the peak hour of the office building, Cao Mo doesn't know how much time it takes for Cheng Xi to get rid of her mother, so she thought about going around from the lobby of the office building to the shopping mall in front of her to find a place to sit and wait, but she didn't want him to walk out of the lobby of the office building, Yu Jing caught up from behind:

"Cheng Xi just left with her mother, and the elevator in front of me should have gone straight to the underground garage - didn't you see Cheng Xi?"

Cao Mo was just about to explain to Yu Jing, when Cheng Xi's text message came in: "Have you seen Yu Jing? ”

Cao Mo picked up the phone and raised it towards Yu Jing, asking her to see Cheng Xi's text message.

"What did you do to make Cheng Xi's mother treat you as a thief?" Yu Jing asked curiously.

In her opinion, except for high school, Cao Mo is excellent enough in other aspects, how can it be hard to imagine why Cheng Xi's mother can't look at him alive or dead?

Cao Mo texted Cheng Xi back, and said with a smile to Yu Jing: "This is hard to read, let's find a place to sit down first - where is Chen Chang, let's have dinner at night, do you want to find a convenient place for her?"

Cao Mo thought that after Chen Chang and Ding Xuerong broke up, they both resigned directly from Yinguang, and they were not necessarily willing to come to Yinguang Guangguang Field, so she thought that she would simply find another place to eat and wait for Cheng Xi to go over and join them directly.

"Their securities company has a reception banquet today, and they shouldn't be able to get out before nine o'clock...... Yu Jing said.

"Then forget it......"

Cao Mo and Yu Jing went into the mall to find a dessert shop, and waited for a full hour before Cheng Xi ran over panting, patted his head and asked Cao Mo:

"Did you do something unreasonable to let my mother know? I made my mother toss miserably today, saying early in the morning that her car was leaking oil, and she must rub my car to commute to work, and when she got home just now, she complained that her stomach was upset. I know that she is cheating, but I don't want to be scolded by her for being an unfilial daughter, so I can only serve patiently, fortunately, my dad didn't have anything to do in the bureau today, and came back early, otherwise I wouldn't want to get out today......"

At this time, Cao Mo confirmed that Cheng Xi's mother heard something, and maybe Han Shaorong asked Chen Xiaoping or someone to ask her about him and his family, which made her stare at Cheng Xi even more loudly, so as not to have a deeper involvement with him.

Cao Mo didn't know whether to explain something to Cheng Xi, and when he was hesitating, he saw Yu Jing handing the mobile phone in his hand to Cheng Xi: "Chen Chang is looking for us for help......

"Huh?" Cao Mo looked over in confusion, but saw Chen Chang texting Yu Jing saying that she was persuaded to drink at today's reception, she was a little worried that she would be poured too much, so she asked Yu Jing to pick her up at the hotel where she dined.

Compared with Yu Jing, who graduated from a prestigious school at the same time but was quite casual, Chen Chang's personality has a realistic side of the philistine, but it is much better than Yu Jing.

Cao Mo heard Cheng Xi say that after Chen Chang resigned from Yinguang, he applied for a job in a securities company, but the specific nature of the work was not very clear.

He followed Cheng Xi and Yu Jing out of the mall to take a taxi to the destination, and while listening to their explanations, he learned that she was applying for the investment department of Dongjiang Securities.

He said that he was an account manager, but he was still in the stage of accumulating experience in the industry.

In addition to the routine business such as securities account management and maintenance, which are familiar to the public, securities companies also issue various asset management products for medium and high-end customers, similar to banks, insurance companies and private public funds.

Chen Chang works in the investment department of Dongjiang Securities, so it is inevitable that she will be dragged to participate in business entertainment, but even if there are colleagues from the company together, she will be very careful to say hello to Yu Jing in advance when she can't shirk the occasion.

According to the address mentioned in Chen Chang's text message, Cao Mo took a taxi with Cheng Xi and Yu Jing to Jinhonghui, only to find that Shen Ji had invited him to dinner here a year ago - it was Shen Ji who invited him to dinner at that time, and they entered the door unimpeded, except that he felt that the dining environment here was quieter, but he didn't feel anything, but at this time, he thought about simply waiting for Chen Chang with Cheng Xi and Yu Jing while eating inside, but was blocked by the security guards:

"I'm sorry sir, we only accept members here, are you looking for another place to eat?"

This place is close to Huaihai Middle Road, there are rows of elegant French-style villas on the left and right, except for Jinhonghui, there are no other restaurants, not even a barbecue stall, Cao Mo can only call Shen Ji hard, and want him to help book a seat.

"So frustrated, do you still want to use this excuse to rub me for a meal?" Shen Ji laughed on the phone, "The compulsion of the Jinhong Club is still a bit high, I pay more than 50,000 membership fees a year, and I barely mix up an ordinary member, and I can't make a reservation on behalf of others - it seems that I am destined to be unable to escape being rubbed by you today, you wait there for a while, if there is no traffic jam, I should be able to rush over in ten minutes." ”

Jinhonghui is a garden surrounded by several French-style villas, although there is a reception area in the main building, the security guard learned that some members wanted to rush over to make a reservation, and they also politely invited them to wait in the main building, but at dusk just after a light rain, the weather was cool, Cao Mo and Cheng Xi, Yu Jing in the garden waiting for Shen Ji to come.

The French garden of Jinhong Garden is very exquisite, and there are many white marble and bronze statues dotted in between, even if it is an imitation, it is also very exquisite.

Cao Mo was talking with Cheng Xi and Yu Jing standing in front of a cupid, but saw Chen Chang walking out of the main building in a hurry.

The light in the garden dimmed, but the light in front of the main building was very bright, and Cao Mo could see that Chen Chang, who had drunk a lot of wine and had a crimson face, was a little angry, as if he had been wronged by something, and he couldn't stand it before leaving the table halfway.

Yu Jing was just about to wave to Chen Chang, when she saw a young man wearing a shirt and tie in the summer chasing him out of the main building.

Chen Chang walked towards them as if evading, and the young man shouted from behind: "Xiao Chen, you are also a person with social experience, and you know that even if you are helpless on some occasions, you have to be perfunctory - if you can't even stand this grievance, what kind of performance do you want to do in the future? Besides, Mr. Chen took your hand and invited you to have a glass of wine, he also wanted to liven up the atmosphere, with so many people, what else could he do with you?"

"Why don't you let your mother accompany others to drink a glass of wine to liven up the atmosphere?" Cao Mo was furious when he heard this, stood up from behind the bronze statue, glanced at the young man, and said in an unkind tone.

“...... Cao Mo, ah, Cheng Xi, Yu Jing, have you all come over?" Chen Chang exclaimed, and he could smell the wine in her mouth from three or five meters away.

Cao Mo's words were harsh, the young man was fifty or six years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, and he looked at Cao Mo with slanted eyes, but he did not say anything to Cao Mo.

Maybe in his eyes, arguing with a stunned young man on such an occasion, and even the other party can't control his temper and starts to move, it is a very shameful thing for him.

He just looked at Chen Chang very calmly and asked: "Your boyfriend came to pick you up?" The rules of this society are like this, poverty is a kind of life, and the lights are also a kind of life, and in the end it depends on how you choose - if you think that the lights in this building are not worth your yearning for, and it is not worth sacrificing for you

A little bit of poor dignity, you can leave, just hand me the letter of resignation tomorrow, I can't force you to do anything......"

Cao Mo looked down at his jeans, knowing that he was being ignored again, and thoughtless speechlessly: He can't deliberately wear a shirt and tie on such a hot day in order to let others look at him, right?

Or do you really want to buy a Rolex gold watch to wear on your wrist?

If a young man is domineering, it is still a deterrent to Chen Chang.

She doesn't have such a good family background like Cheng Xi, she doesn't need to look at anyone's face, and even the head office leaders of Xinlian Bank know the identity and position of her parents, and they are more or less stubborn about her, and it is impossible to force her to participate in any business entertainment.

Even if Cheng Xi occasionally has some banquets to appear, as soon as others introduce her as the daughter of who she is, no one will be stupid enough to show her covetousness blatantly.

And what about her?

Chen Chang knows very well in her heart that this world is never black and white, the workplace is full of all kinds of unspoken rules, and she can usually handle it carefully, but today a customer was too much to do at the wine table, so she couldn't help but run out.

Could it be that today I will be happy, quit my job that has worked hard for half a year and is still glorious in Xinhai, and tomorrow I will go all over the streets to find another job that still can't escape all kinds of unspoken rules?

Seeing that Chen Chang was silent, the young man was not in a hurry to ask her to go back now, but just glanced at Cao Mo contemptuously, took out a cigarette and lit it, as if waiting to see Chen Chang figure it out by himself, and took the initiative to invite her "boyfriend" out of the door of Jinhonghui.

This matter is going to be spread out on Chengxi's head, Cao Mo has already greeted him with a punch, asking this grandson to teach what are the real social rules, but even if this grandson is coerced by resignation, it is really a bit underwhelmed, and now Chen Chang herself is hesitating, can he still stand up for Chen Changqiang?

Chen Chang has her own life and choices.

Maybe he, Cheng Xi and Yu Jing don't show up at this time, and Chen Chang will return to the wine table with a smile after cleaning up his grievances;

Although Yu Jing and Cheng Xi were angry in their hearts, they knew how hard Chen Chang worked for this job, and they also stood aside silently - it was no problem for them to escort Chen Chang away, but could they persuade Chen Chang to give up this job?

At this time, a black Audi A8 drove into the gate of Jinhonghui.

In Xinhai, which is full of luxury cars, an A8 may only be regarded as an entry, and there is nothing special about the license plate.

The two well-dressed security guards at the gate not only stopped the car to check the owner's membership or invitation information, but also trotted all the way to help the driver look at the road, for fear that the driver would be lame under the bright street lamp and hit some flowers and plants.

"Xiao Chen, look at these people, they look low-key, but they really master the world, and they are making all the rules," the young man pointed to the Audi A8 and admonished Chen Chang with emotion, "We are suffering some grievances now, just to get close to them, maybe one day we can become one of them......"

Cao Mo wanted to applaud this kid, and forced him to pretend not to want to.

"Mr. Cao?"

The Audi suddenly stopped before turning into the parking lot, and a middle-aged man in his fifties poked his head out and looked at Cao Mo uncertainly.

“...... Are you?" Cao Mo was sure he didn't know this middle-aged man,

"......" The middle-aged man pushed the door and walked down, strode towards Cao Mo, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "My Xinhong Qian Wenhan is also a shareholder of Jinhonghui, and I have long wanted to thank Si Peng Xie for summing up and meeting Mr. Cao - I was also at Jinchen Golf Course yesterday, but it was inconvenient to worry about Mr. Cao, you talked to Mr. Han and Mr. Lu about things, so I didn't take the liberty to come forward to say hello - Mr. Cao, you actually came to Jinhong Club in person today, it is an honor, an honor to ......"
