The Tong family has no relatives, only friends. Every weekend, Chen Zeping would take the initiative to come over to help him take care of Lao Tong, in his words: "You don't have weekends, day and night, and you don't have any relatives to help, so you don't have any time for yourself." Who else but me could be so kind to you? To be honest, I sympathize with you. ”

......

If there was no last sentence, Tong Tong might have been very moved, but because of this sentence, he wanted to beat Chen Zeping. But on second thought, maybe Chen's original intention was not to move him?

Chen Zeping is still concentrating on the study of Zhou Yi, he said, judging from his face, Lao Tong is a blessed person, and he is a "post-blessing". Lao Tong was very amused by him, but asked coldly: "You still learn to look at physiognomy?"

"Learn!" Chen Zeping was ashamed: "I can learn everything!"

It doesn't matter if he's talking nonsense or not, but Lao Tong likes to chat with him very much. Sometimes Chen Zeping can't come, and Gao Xiaobao will also come to help. No wonder Lao Tong said that although he has no brothers and sisters, Tong Tong's friends are still reliable.

With friends to take care of his father, Tong Tong can have a little leisure. At that time, he would walk out of the hospital and walk 800 meters east to a five-star hotel.

He was alone, did not stay or eat. Order a cup of coffee at the coffee shop on the second floor and sit quietly for a while.

He always ordered the cheapest iced Americano, and after a long time, the waiter knew him. Judging by how he dresses, he doesn't look like a guy who drinks coffee in a five-star hotel. But strangely, he is neither humble nor arrogant, but also not shabby.

No one can guess why he went there for coffee, he sat fixed in the northeasternmost corner, where the view was the worst – to be exact, there was nothing to see at all. As soon as he sat there, he took out a book, and read it very carefully, occasionally raising his head to look around.

When he came, there was often a group of ladies who came here for afternoon tea, and they naturally sat by the window, laughing carefree and taking selfies at different angles.

Although they are noisy, they also maintain the dignity of "upper class", trying to keep their voices low and not making noise. But Tong Tong can still occasionally hear their irrepressible show-offs, where they went on vacation, how big a diamond ring they bought, where they bought a super-large house, and so on...... They showed off quietly, and others also cheered them on.

Humans are so boring.

Tong Tong drank coffee and continued to read his book.

But there is a woman who almost never shows off, but this does not affect her status in the circle of noblewomen in the slightest, and she firmly occupies the C position. She has long fluffy and curly hair, a small and delicate face, just the right combination of facial features, and an impeccable figure. She spoke softly, not fighting or grabbing, but everyone else had to look at her face.

Tong Tong was very familiar with that face, the face that was almost exactly the same as the person he had been thinking about for a long time. But unfortunately, the face in front of me has traces of artificial processing.

Tong Tong was crazy and wanted to see that face, but when he saw her, he felt sick to his stomach.

A few weeks later, he saw the woman's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and even more intense nausea.

He was silent, but the ladies had apparently noticed him. While he wasn't looking, they whispered, guessing who he had a crush on. But every time they had a good discussion, he always walked away in style, not looking at them.

Did he really come to read the book?

But that day was different, he stayed alone for a while, and soon a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came. Seeing the man, the C woman in the noble ladies circle stood up first and said, "Lawyer Zhang." ”

"Huh, Xiao Meng, oh...... No, should I call you my aunt or my aunt?"

It turned out that this woman was Meng Xingyun, Teacher Meng's twin sister. She didn't care too much about the confusion of the title, but smiled calmly and said, "You still call me Xiao Meng." ”

"Hmm...... You guys talk first, I made an appointment today, so I won't accompany you!"

"Well, Lawyer Zhang is busy first. ”

He is the famous Zhang Yongming, when he reaches middle age, he is not only greasy, elegant and handsome as when he was young, as if the years have only added a little atmosphere to him. A noble lady said resentfully: "He is good at everything, but he doesn't eat oil and salt, and no one can cover him, and he only has his wife in his eyes." A friend of mine couldn't chase him no matter how much he chased him. ”

Meng Xingyun remained silent, but clenched his fists slightly and rolled his eyes covertly.

When did digging into the corners of rich men become an act of pride? How can a successful man's loyalty to his family become a shortcoming?

Where is this woman's three views crooked?

When going to the bathroom, Meng Xingyun said to the "confidant" female companion: "Kick her out of the party list and don't take her to play in the future." Being with this kind of person simply lowers the level of our circle. ”

Meng Xingyun said very decisively, as if the person who spoke softly just now was not her. But the female companion seemed to be used to her kind of personality, and didn't pay much attention to it, just nodded slightly.

In the café, Tong Tong shook hands with Zhang Yongming very respectfully. Zhang Yongming looked at him and boasted: "The air is magnificent, it's really good." ”

"Prizes have been awarded. ”

"You said on the phone that you opened a print shop at HKU?"

"Yes, the store is not big, just me and a part-time student. ”

Zhang Yongming nodded: "No matter how big or small the store is, it should be a bit of a way to open a printing shop in school, and ordinary people can't get such an opportunity." ”

"Yes, it took a little effort to rent this shop. ”

Zhang Yongming smiled approvingly again and said, "That should be a lot of ability." ”

Tong Tong humbly lowered his head. He is no longer as stubborn as he was when he was a teenager, and he stubbornly thinks that Zhang Yongming is a hypocrite. In fact, from the moment he took the initiative to call himself "Uncle Zhang", Tong Tong's hostility towards him basically disappeared.

Tong Tong brought him a few boxes of tea, and Zhang Yongming said a few polite words, and then accepted it happily. Tong Tong said: "My classmate's family is in the tea business, and this is the pre-holiday hair tip that has just been picked this year, and the texture and taste should be excellent. This gift box is still a limited edition and cannot be bought on the market, I hope you can like it. ”

"I like it, I like everything you give, what's more, you put so much thought into it?" Zhang Yongming is used to seeing good things, but he still can't put it down: "You know how to reciprocate, or that sentence, if Zhang Yaoyao is half as sensible as you, I will be content." ”

"I heard from my classmates in No. 2 Middle School that Zhang Yaoyao is about to get married?"

"Well, it's a bit embarrassing to say it, but I can't hide it, and the girl's belly is getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Yongming was a little surprised: "This matter has spread all over his classmates, and I am ashamed of him, but he feels that it doesn't matter." He also said that this is popular among young people now...... I don't think so! You are a good boy who lives a down-to-earth life, I saw one of his female classmates two days ago, and they also have rules and responsibilities, I really don't know why he is like this. ”

"That'...... Congratulations on becoming a grandfather. ”

Zhang Yongming took a sip of coffee, perhaps because the coffee was too bitter, he frowned and kept smiling bitterly.

"You're not leaving this time in Port City?"

Tong Tong replied: "It's very likely that he won't leave." My dad is not in good health, and I want to stabilize as soon as possible. ”

"You have a lot of tenacity, and if you go to a big city, you will definitely achieve a lot. ”

Tong Tong was embarrassed by the praise and said, "That's how I am." What is Zhang Yaoyao doing?

Zhang Yaoyao studied business in college, and after returning to China, he didn't look for a job, so he worked in one of his grandfather's hotels. The old man put him in the sales department and put him in charge of conference activities or something. It is said that the more people you come into contact with, the faster you can grow.

Zhang Yaoyao gladly accepted, and since then he has started the life of a low-key part-time job as a "prince". He was so ambitious that he made a mistake the first time he held an event. People need to hang banners, send him the content of the banners, and he finds someone to make them, but as soon as the organizer enters the venue, his nose is crooked.

It was the "Chinese Teaching Work Conference", and he called it the "Korean Teaching Work Conference".

The difference between one word and the content varies greatly.

On that day, the organizers' faces were all blue, standing under the banner, no one showed a smile, and their expressions were solemn as if they were attending a memorial service. After the meeting ended, the organizers jumped to their feet in anger, and a group of university professors who were literary and crepe were almost forced to become thugs by him, and even lost the face of the Faculty of Arts of Hong Kong City University.

Zhang Yaoyao refused to admit it at first, saying that what he received was "Korean", but he turned out the email on the spot, and the document clearly said "Chinese".

Zhang Yaoyao couldn't argue, he couldn't say that he re-typed it because he accidentally touched the keyboard, right?

He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but felt very aggrieved and unlucky. He could only pale to explain that he was not to blame. But who can blame him if he is not to blame?

Later, a small staff member under him had an idea and took the initiative to give the word "Han" on the banner to P as "Han", at least there would be no problem in issuing press releases. The organizer's face softened a little, and they were still discussing when they left, such a straw bag can be a small leader, it seems that there is indeed some background.

Zhang Yaoyao heard it clearly, and suddenly jumped like thunder, not only did he not have the slightest gratitude to the little clerk who proposed a solution to him, but also thought that he had stolen the limelight from him, and he should have been fired away. No, you should find a way to humiliate him before letting him go.

However, Zhang Yaoyao did not fire him smoothly, and after working for a period of time, he completely became the "stupid leader" in the mouth of employees, and the department manager did not dare to reflect this situation upward, and the contradictions accumulated more and more. Every time Zhang Yaoyao made a mistake, he let that clever little clerk take the blame. The little clerk was humiliated and committed suicide by leaving a book, but fortunately he was rescued. It was only then that Zhang Yaoyao's actions were revealed.

Without waiting for his grandfather to talk to him, Zhang Yaoyao resigned and left, and the unlucky one was the department manager. He was scolded by the boss so much that he was bloody, as if he connived at Zhang Yaoyao's misdeeds and brought all the good children to ruin, so he should really get out. But I don't know if people roll or not, Zhang Yaoyao waved his sleeves, like smearing oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away without a trace.

Zhang Yongming said that Zhang Yaoyao started his own business and opened a photography studio, but he didn't know if he could support himself. "Anyway, he didn't ask me for money, and went directly to his grandfather. Because I can discipline him, but his grandfather won't. ”

Zhang Yongming is also quite difficult. Tong Tong thought to himself, he is a good person, but what about his wife and son...... Tong Tong was thinking about it, and the ladies had already gotten up on chatter. He saw Meng Xingyun with a big belly, maybe she was going to be a mother, and she smiled softly. But Tong Tong always felt that she had a pride that couldn't be hidden, just like the favored concubines in the harem drama.

Zhang Yongming followed his gaze and shook his head: "Really...... It's not like that!"

"What?"

"A young girl has to marry an old man...... One dares to marry, the other dares to marry, I don't know if this is true love. ”

"Whatever. Anyway, there are countless anecdotes in the world. ”

Zhang Yongming was stunned for a moment: "In the past, my friend was very fond of saying, 'Whatever about him', he is an informal person." Your tone was exactly the same as his. ”

"Really?" Tong Tong smiled and joked: "Then maybe I'm his long-lost son!"

Zhang Yongming's expression froze, he looked at Tong Tong carefully, his eyes changed from doubt to joy, he was about to blurt out, but he denied himself: "Impossible, that little boy is indeed dead, the funeral organized by his grandfather himself, I also ran to help, I have been there from beginning to end...... I wish you were him, but you really aren't. ”

Tong Tong was a little disappointed, but still smiled and said, "No matter what, your sentence 'Uncle Zhang' really warmed me for a long time. ”
