The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year. Geng Zhiyuan was in Qingquan Company and Li Xing took the account book to reconcile them one by one, and suddenly received a call from his old classmate Zuo Gang: "Old Geng, are you free? ”

Geng Zhiyuan vaguely heard Zuo Gang's words with a hint of humility and expectation, and secretly wondered: "Okay, why did you suddenly remember to invite me to dinner when the Chinese New Year is approaching?"

Zuo Gang saw him agree, and finally let go of his heart, and sighed: "It's hard to say, let's talk about it again after we meet." ”

There was something in Zuo Gang's words, and Geng Zhiyuan heard that he didn't want to say it directly, so he had to say: "Okay, you name a place, I'll go find you." ”

"At noon today, Xicheng Yuehu Restaurant, the two of us are waiting for you, see you or leave. Zuo Gang admonished repeatedly.

When Li Xing saw him put down his phone, he asked curiously, "What?

"Yes, college classmates, husband and wife are both in the pressure vessel factory. Geng Zhiyuan was saying but felt that something was not quite right, there was something wrong with Zuo Gang's tone of speech, and he could hear that he was afraid that he was asking for something.

Geng Zhiyuan thought to himself: "I heard that their factory has been losing money for many years, and it has not even been able to pay the wages of its employees, so it is estimated that it has encountered a problem in terms of money. ”

When Xu Rong's parents came to the design institute to make trouble with Geng Zhiyuan, Zuo Gang and his wife helped him a lot, and they had to try their best to help the couple solve their difficulties.

However, before borrowing money, he had to ask Su Qing for instructions, because in their house, his wife was in charge of the accounts, and he lent the money out without reporting, and he was afraid that he would have to kneel on the keyboard when he returned home.

After reporting to Su Qing, his wife said briskly: "Didn't Zuo Gang help you? If people don't encounter difficulties, can they open this mouth to you?"

"It's still my wife who is reasonable. Geng Zhiyuan patted his ass at the right time, and asked cautiously, "How much can I borrow?"

Her husband was turned into an obedient tiger by herself, Su Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "You can do it yourself within 100,000 yuan." ”

"Hey, thank you, wife. Geng Zhiyuan had a bottom in his heart, put down the phone and let out a long sigh. Turning his head, Li Xingzheng was staring at him dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? you?" Geng Zhiyuan saw that her eyes were full of incredulity, and thought that she had fallen into an evil spirit, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine...... Li Xing said in disbelief: "Mr. Geng, no! Brother Geng, are you so afraid of your sister-in-law?"

Geng Zhiyuan's face turned red, and he hurriedly excused himself: "I'm joking with her, can I still be afraid of her?"

"Oh, is it?" Li Xing smiled evilly, "The next time I see my sister-in-law, I want to tell her what you just said." ”

"Oh, why are you still serious......" Geng Zhiyuan was stunned by her and had nothing to say, so he could only shake his head and sigh again and again: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

At noon, Geng Zhiyuan drove to the Moon Lake Restaurant in the west of the city and met Zuo Gang and Qu Wanting. There are only three of them in the private room for six people, and it looks very spacious.

Geng Zhiyuan still had to drive and couldn't drink, Zuo Gang was not reluctant, and finally confessed after drinking a few glasses of water instead of wine: "Old Geng, I have something I want to trouble you." ”

Geng Zhiyuan was waiting for this sentence, and said happily: "We are old classmates, why are we polite? ”

Zuo Gang hesitated and said: "You also know that our factory has not been able to benefit in the past two years, and we didn't even pay the full salary last year, so I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"Well, if you need my help, just say that if I can help, I will definitely help. Geng Zhiyuan said without hesitation.

Zuo Gang saw that he agreed simply, so he no longer hid it, and said openly: "Didn't you resign and go to an engineering design company? I want Wanting to go to work with you, do you think it can be done?"

Geng Zhiyuan wondered, "How do you know that I resigned from the provincial court and changed units?"

Qu Wanting said beside her: "I heard what Chen Ying said, and she suggested that the two of us ask you for help." ”

Chen Ying is the senior sister of their same department, one level higher than them, and the girls' dormitories are all on the same floor, so she naturally recognizes Qu Wanting.

Geng Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I am not welcome, the company I went to is short of designers, and it is just right for you two to come." ”

"No! it's not the two of us!" Zuo Gang smiled: "I want Wanting to go to your company, I found another environmental protection equipment company." ”

People have their own ambitions and can't be forced, and besides, the two of them have advantages and disadvantages in the same unit, and Zuo Gang, who has suffered losses, will definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"It's almost the New Year, you go to our company after the New Year, and I will lead you to meet and talk to the big boss. Geng Zhiyuan said to Qu Wanting: "The company is just short of equipment professionals, and you are here to strengthen our professional strength." ”

Qu Wanting said with a smile: "Being a leader means being able to speak, you are completely two people from before." ”

Zuo Gang said: "Lao Geng, Wanting went to your place, I have to ask you to take care of it." ”

"Well, we are old classmates, and we promise that no one will dare to bully her. Geng Zhiyuan packed the ticket and said.

Qu Wanting hesitated and tentatively said: "If your company is short of people, can you ...... Let Xu Rong go too?"

Xu Rong!?The name of the college lover who had almost forgotten suddenly reappeared, Geng Zhiyuan was in a trance, trying to find the image of Xu Rong in his memory, but he couldn't capture it.

Zuo Gang said unhappily: "Why did you mention Xu Rong? How did she treat Lao Geng back then? Can Lao Geng still want her?"

Qu Wanting sympathized: "Xu Rong had a hard time with her children after the divorce, her parents kept asking her for money, the old classmates had such a difficult time, if we don't help her, who will help her?"

"Xu Rong is divorced?" Geng Zhiyuan said in surprise.

Zuo Gang sighed: "Yes, I left last year." ”

Zhang Youwei was promoted to the director of the factory office, and he got along with a little girl in the factory, but he disliked Xu Rong for being old and ugly, and divorced her. Qu Wanting hugged and said: "Xu Rong is really blind, how did she find such a negative thing." ”

Geng Zhiyuan also had a lover outside behind his wife's back, and when he heard Qu Wanting scolding Zhang Youwei for being unjust, his face couldn't help but panic.

Zuo Gang pondered for a long time, and boldly asked: "Old Geng, Xu Rong is really having a hard time, if you can help her, please help her." ”

Although Xu Rong once betrayed and hurt Geng Zhiyuan, many years have passed, and he has also married a wishful lady with good looks and both internal and external cultivation due to a blessing in disguise, so he has almost forgotten about Xu Rong.

"Okay. After all, Geng Zhiyuan couldn't see death without help, and nodded: "As long as she wants, you can let her come." ”

Seeing that he was full of promises, Qu Wanting excitedly took out her mobile phone and said, "I'll call her right away, don't let her come here." ”

Xu Rong and the child had just finished eating, put away the pots and bowls and were about to urge the child to take a nap, when they saw Qu Wanting calling, they answered: "Wanting!"

Qu Wanting said happily: "Xu Rong, let's have dinner with Geng Zhiyuan, their company is recruiting people now, are you willing to go? ”

For Xu Rong, Geng Zhiyuan is also a distant name, and she was stunned for a moment before she remembered who Geng Zhiyuan was.

"Geng Zhiyuan?!" Xu Rong said as if sleepwalking: "You're not lying to me, are you? Isn't Geng Zhiyuan in the Provincial Chemical Industry Institute? How could it be their company?"

Qu Wanting hurriedly said: "He resigned and went to a new company, and he needed to recruit professional designers, I mentioned you to him, and he promised to let you come." ”

"Is it?" The factory can't pay salaries, Xu Rong has to raise children and help the family, the economic situation is very embarrassing, and when she heard Qu Wanting's words, her mind suddenly became lively.

"Can you help me ask how the treatment is?" After life training, Xu Rong has become very realistic, and she will not make a decision because of Qu Wanting's few words.

Qu Wanting saw that she had to get to the bottom of it, so she had to smile and say: "We are at the Moon Lake Restaurant, you come and ask him yourself, it's not that you don't know him." ”

Xu Rong thought about it for a while, and was finally forced to be anxious by the money, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go over immediately." ”

When Xu Rong rushed to the Moon Lake Restaurant with his daughter to see Geng Zhiyuan, he could hardly believe his eyes. Xu Rong, who used to be slender and delicate, has now become a middle-aged aunt with a fat body and a yellow face.

As soon as she entered the room, Xu Rong recognized Geng Zhiyuan, the former lover was no longer the young scholar he used to be, and there was a compelling momentum in addition to being mature and stable.

Lovers who have been separated for six or seven years meet again, and they can't help but be a little embarrassed, Xu Rong lowered her head and pulled her daughter to point at Geng Zhiyuan and said, "Call uncle!"

The little girl was more than six years old and was in the first grade of primary school, and at the urging of her mother, she said timidly to Geng Zhiyuan: "Hello uncle!"

"Hey, hello!" Geng Zhiyuan promised and greeted: "Xu Rong, you and the child should sit down quickly." ”

Qu Wanting pulled out a chair and beckoned Xu Rong's mother and daughter to take a seat. Geng Zhiyuan went straight to the point and said: "Xu Rong, I went to a design company. If you go with Wanting, the basic salary will be at least 2,000 or more, and there will be bonuses if you do projects, and the annual salary plus bonus will not be less than 50,000. ”

The annual income of 50,000 yuan is already very considerable for Xu Rong, and she hesitated: "Is it effective for you to speak in the company?"

Geng Zhiyuan smiled faintly and said unabashedly: "Yuanwei has my shares in the company, and I am also one of the shareholders. ”

Zuo Gang and Qu Wanting only woke up at this time, it turned out that Yuanwei Company also had Geng Zhiyuan's share, no wonder he was willing to leave the good unit of the Provincial Chemical Industry Institute.

"If you can have 50,000 yuan as you say, then I'll go. Xu Rong whispered: "The factory has not paid wages for more than half a year, and our mother and son all rely on borrowing money to get by." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Qu Wanting also complained: "The two of us still have to repay the mortgage, at least you don't have to worry about this." ”

"Where does Xu Rong live now?" Geng Zhiyuan asked casually.

"Dormitory in the factory. Xu Rong replied: "I can't afford to buy commercial housing for welfare housing when I get married." ”

Geng Zhiyuan looked at Xu Rong's mother and daughter, who were slightly shabby, and secretly sighed: "If Xu Rong hadn't changed her mind and followed Zhang Youwei back then, our two children would be so old now." Sometimes I have to admit that people do have a destiny. ”
