Chapter 7: The Depths of the Affair
Xu Zeyuan opened the filing cabinet with the key, took out a bulging brown paper bag, and put it on the table.
Mr. Jia, a project outside has been accepted, 280,000 yuan, all here.
In the future, this kind of thing is handled outside the company.
Questions?
Lao Chen's appetite is too big, aiming at the capital market, Our industry is now very hot, and we don't have to worry about introducing capital, and now there is a big money from a financier to come in. We want to do things and engage in industry, what they want is to play capital to make money in the stock market. Once the big capital is injected and the equity is diluted, the equity I can get is the god protector. Mr. Jia used the real fingers of both hands to compare the word 'ten' on his chest.
10%?
Or an optimistic estimate.
The brothers' share can't be applied?
Up to two points. Xiao Xu, I will do my best.
Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your bother.
Mr. Jia took out five ten thousand from the cowhide bag,
You can do the rest. Remember to be cautious, don't make a fork at this time, let people pull the pigtails.
Yes, compared with our technical core and capital operation, it is not the core, and it has really become a brick moving and selling cheap labor.
Recently, it has converged a little.
Know, you can rest assured.
Xu Zeyuan was invited to find Meng Chen, and the moment he entered the door, he felt a little different, Xu Zeyuan looked around.
What's wrong?Meng Chen asked.
Is there anything I can help with?
No. Drink water, drink tea?
Drinking tea?
Be.
Meng Chen went to the kitchen to pour water, Xu Zeyuan followed, and when he saw the vegetable leaves picked in the trash can, he guessed a few points. Here's a secret, engineering students are usually dual-quotient and observant, and if you only know them with high intelligence or low intelligence, or emotional intelligence, then you have been deceived, they are wise and foolish, and they just don't bother to focus their talents on the meaningless things in their cognitive scope.
How are you doing? Xu Zeyuan cares about Meng Chen.
Good.
The two sat down on the couch.
The list on the coffee table was in duplicate, and Meng Chen handed one to Xu Zeyuan.
The house is resold so that the loss of the deposit can be avoided, the mortgage can be transferred to the new buyer, I will deal with it as soon as possible, and if it goes well, you will not have to transfer the mortgage money to me again at the end of this month. As soon as the payment arrives, I will remit all to you, and these years are basically your expenses, remember the account clearly, even if the two are offset, we will clear the two in the future.
Xu Zeyuan glanced at the dense bills, and casually put the list on the side of the coffee table,
I don't want the house payment, you can stay, this money is enough for you to buy a one-bedroom house near the Fourth Ring Road, and you may have to repay a small loan every month, you don't have to worry, I can pay it back for you, or give me some time to settle the balance at once.
This money can't afford to buy ten years. Meng Chen is right, she has spent ten years of energy on someone who doesn't love her, and no amount of money can be exchanged for the lost years, but she is as smart as Meng Chen, knows how to stop losses in time, and knows how to have a gorgeous curtain call even if she turns around.
Yes, let me do my best, Meng Chen......
Don't say I'm sorry anymore, I'm tired of listening.
You always have to be accountable to your parents, even if you break up, I want you to settle down, and your parents will hate me a little less.
Fulfill your conscience.
How?Learn to cook?Who is more attractive than me to let you into the kitchen?Xu Ze teased, in order to ease the atmosphere, and at the same time, he sincerely hoped that Meng Chen would meet his lover as soon as possible.
No, no.
Are you blushing?
No. Meng Chen has always been dismissive of jokes and ridiculous language.
What did you do with your new partner? Did you tell your parents?
It's not an object, it's a colleague.
How long have you known each other?
A batch is assigned to the unit.
I've known each other for 5 years, so I know the roots. Xu Zeyuan felt more at ease.
I don't know how to cook, he does, and he comes and cooks for me when I'm sick.
Xu Zeyuan's inquiry was out of the last bit of responsibility to Meng Chen, and I am afraid that this is the most satisfactory aftermath. Be forgiven and be well.
Coming out of Meng Chen's house, Xu Zeyuan walked all the way with relief, it was over, and he could finally face Lin Jinxi with peace of mind. I remember someone said that 5% of life is happy and happy, 5% of life is unfortunate and unfortunate, and the remaining 90% is dull and boring. I don't know where this number comes from, and what is the basis for it? If misfortune is only a small proportion, then where do the eight sufferings of life come from—birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, unwantedness, and the five yin blazing suffering?
Just when Xu Zeyuan thought that he had regained his life, just when Xu Zeyuan turned another alley and raised his eyes to see Lin Jinxi's Yuejihua balcony, Xu Zeyuan's mobile phone rang, and he looked at the mobile phone screen showing Meng Chen's call, only to feel that this ringtone was different from the previous noise, and there was a faint ominous omen. Meng Chen is always afraid that he will have a meeting or be too busy to disturb, usually contact him by text message, unless there is a hundred thousand urgent things to call, and just now they have a harmonious atmosphere to restore the relationship between the lovers who are about to get married to the starting point, there is no landslide, there is no unreasonableness, but a light breeze, mutual respect, quite graceful return to the role relationship of old classmates, what else will there be at this moment?
Xu Zeyuan, go home quickly, Auntie seems to be sick. Meng Chen's anxiety came from the earpiece.
What disease?
It has not been diagnosed yet, there is a tumor on the liver, the call from my uncle, and the report of the biopsy has not yet come out.
Did you hear that right?
No, the call came to my home, and I said you went to work overtime.
Yes, let's not talk about us yet, I'll go back right away.
Fortunately in the misfortune, Xu Zeyuan's mother was diagnosed with liver cancer in the early stage, in order to be more sure of the operation, Xu Zeyuan took his mother to his side, and after a diagnosis, the two nodules were removed in time, and of course Lin Jinxi was not with Xu Zeyuan outside the operating room. Meng Chen will still accompany Xu Zeyuan's fiancée when he really can't shirk it, and the doctor said that he can't be angry about this disease.
Xu Zeyuan told a big lie to Lin Jinxi, his mother was treated in the provincial capital, and he had to run around at both ends, in fact, he rented a house for his father near the hospital, and sometimes he would live with his father in order to take care of his mother, and by the way, he had a lie about running around at both ends.
Mother's illness, work, and lies made Xu Zeyuan tired to deal with, he was unprecedentedly tired, Lin Jinxi occasionally had questions, I can help take care of it, or, this time I went to see my aunt with you, or, I bought some supplements for you to take back. At the beginning of barely coping with it, Xu Zeyuan would say that his mother should be strong, and he didn't want to see his future daughter-in-law so embarrassed, or next time, or wait for her to recover. But after a long time, Lin Jinxi felt that something was wrong, and she would ask him, do you have something to hide from me? Or will my aunt not like me? Or she half-jokingly, do you have a wife in your hometown? He continued to be perfunctory, don't be stupid, fool! When Lin Jinxi was on a business trip, it was the most relaxed day for Xu Zeyuan, Lin Jinxi was by his side, he walked on thin ice, and he couldn't sleep, for fear that he would leak his mouth, he comforted himself, it was almost fast, and he lasted a few more months, and his mother completely recovered, he explained to his mother first, and he married Lin Jinxi directly into the door, once and for all, his mother will definitely like Lin Jinxi.
In the kitchen, Xu Zeyuan watched Lin Jinxi soak the sea cucumbers with mineral water, every time Xu Zeyuan went back or before Lin Jinxi went on a business trip, she would do this work, and she would put a few sea cucumbers into the thermos bucket and hand them to Xu Zeyuan to take away.
You remember to make sure your aunt eats one a day to increase immunity.
Xu Zeyuan looked at Lin Jinxi carefully, her capable short hair was already shoulder-length, he couldn't wait to marry her, he suddenly felt a little afraid,
Ah, do you know my heart for you?
Lin Jinxi understood that when Xu Zeyuan called her Ah Jin, it was when he was the most vulnerable and innermost, she looked at Xu Ze's bloodshot eyes distressedly, touched his head closely, and wrapped her arms around him,
Don't be afraid, stick to it, the surgery is successful, and the subsequent recovery treatment and recuperation will not be a problem.
When he decided to start concealing a truth, he was destined to whitewash it with countless lies, and now Xu Zeyuan's lies are higher than the sea in his hometown of Xishan, and his tired brain is not confused for a day, how did he become what he is today? In order to love her, to be with her, in order to protect her, one day he doesn't know how to confess to her, where to confess, how to make her not disappointed in him, but it's not wrong to do so, if you say to her at the beginning that I like you, but I have a girlfriend who is about to get married, Lin Jinxi will definitely smile and wish him a hundred years of good luck and then turn around. Xu Zeyuan hugged Lin Jinxi tightly, he suddenly felt very wronged, he did the right thing, but he couldn't confide in Lin Jinxi, he broke up with Meng Chen for her, he disobeyed his mother for her, he worked hard for her, but he just couldn't let her know that he was a treacherous villain, he was afraid that Lin Jinxi would leave him because of the truth,
You are not allowed to leave me, not for the rest of your life.
I'm so tired that I'm talking nonsense, no, go sleep for a while.
Are you sure?
Don't be afraid, I'm here. Lin Jinxi is gentle and supple, empathetic, and has the virtuous and virtuous characteristics that all men crave, but Xu Zeyuan can faintly feel Lin Jinxi's determination with a hint of wild tame in his bones. Her goodness is only given to her what she thinks is worth giving.
Mother Xu had the strength after surgery and began to teach her son again, in fact, he felt sorry for spending his son's money,
I'll go home tomorrow, how much is this bed? The surgery cost tens of thousands. Much more expensive than provincial hospitals.
Not expensive. Xu Zeyuan peeled apples for his mother.
Don't lie to me, I've asked the doctor.
I'll get your dad out of the hospital tomorrow.
It's not that you just want to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor has the final say. Besides, there is still half a year of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to resume treatment......
I'm not here to do chemoradiotherapy. Provincial hospitals can also do it. You quickly quit the house, rented two houses, and paid off the mortgage, 135 square meters, sooner or later this little shoulder will be crushed.
I'm sturdy.
I don't think anyone feels sorry for you except your mother. You foolish dad can't count on it.
My dad is afraid of you, and he doesn't listen to you for everything, you have the final say.
He's afraid of me, he's afraid of me, he's not going to pull me here for surgery.
Mom, the surgical ability here is definitely better than in the province. You're going to have to let me and my dad rest easy.
Hey, about chemotherapy, I asked your aunt to go to the provincial hospital to ask, medicine and equipment are available in the provincial hospital, once every two weeks, it is a two-hour drive from home to the provincial hospital, which is very convenient, and it is better than tossing back and forth to you.
You can live here for half a year.
Where do you live? You have to rent a house, by the way, you can't let your dad squeeze with you and Meng Chen during my surgery, why spend money indiscriminately?
Oh.......
Didn't Meng Chen's parents come and live with you? His parents slept in the bed, and you slept in the living room. Is Meng Chen not letting your dad go?
No, isn't it close to the hospital?
Also, it's really inconvenient for your dad to live there. Also, don't let Meng Chen buy this sea cucumber, it's expensive.
Don't worry about it.
The stability of Xu's mother's condition made Xu Zeyuan breathe a sigh of relief, and he lay on the bed thinking about how to talk to his mother: Mom, Meng Chen and I broke up peacefully because of personality discord, after all, she has been dating me for so many years, I took out some of the money as compensation, the house was returned, and I didn't have to pay the mortgage. There is one more thing, you have to help me keep it secret, my current girlfriend's name is Lin Jinxi, as long as you see her, I promise that you will like her, she doesn't know that I haven't broken up with Meng Chen when I pursued her, your surgery was done by the provincial hospital, and you and my dad have never been here. Also, sea cucumbers have always been bought by Lin Jinxi for you...... Hey, am I crazy? Ask my mom to help me make such a big lie, the only time my mom beat me half to death when I was a kid was because I lied - I changed the 2 points in the homework book to 5 points. Xu Zeyuan was puzzled, raised his fist, this matter became his heart disease, more difficult than any thorny problem he dealt with in his work, and he couldn't help but sigh:
Oh my God, there's no solution...... The sword roars and the dragon is angry. Ask the sky and the two words of merit and fame, when will it be paid. To give birth to a hero for the world, you must be early on the road to the clouds. But in the end, I haven't met a bosom friend. Twice into the sky to fly and fold his wings, insulting people and lamenting the mistake of Confucianism. I don't know why.
Lin Jinxi pushed the door and heard Xu Zeyuan's generous recitation, so he echoed in unison, "But in the end, I haven't met a bosom friend." Twice into the sky to fly and fold his wings, insulting people and lamenting the mistake of Confucianism. I don't know why.
What are you mistaken? full of sorrow and unfulfilled ambitions. Lin Jinxi smiled.
Vent a bit.
Did the road go well?
Xu Zeyuan was pulled back into the real lie, and he still had a set of nuanced fake logic in his mind.
Yes, on the road, it didn't go well.
What's wrong?
It's nothing. You've been fine for the past two days, have you?
Do you remember the secretary of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in S Province?
Can you forget? We met that day.
He contacted our vice president and said that now is a good time to set up a monument to his direct leader, and our vice president asked me to go on a business trip, but I am not a reporter in charge of the biographic column.
They are shrewd in their abacus, hang the name of the bureau, give a little brand rental fee, and hold a lot of money in their hands.
I heard from my colleagues in the Ministry of Commerce that every year we sponsor a lot of income, but they are all classified into the bureau, our vice president has great ambitions, and wants to take advantage of his father's prestige to become independent, and turn the nature of direct control into a tertiary industry, and the independence is greater, and it is more convenient to make money.
If you don't like it, don't do it.
That's not good, you have to feed your family.
I can afford to raise you.
Lin Jinxi leaned on Xu Zeyuan's shoulder,
You've worked hard enough, and besides, I still like to walk around, you know, editors and reporters in our industry, except for business trips, they basically don't have to spend anything on their own to march around, and wherever they go, they can write a manuscript to cover the ticket.
Well, it's good if you're happy. I'll go with you, I'm worried that they'll force you to drink.
You've got to go to work, and there's so much to do.
I had some contact with the secretary Chen, and I happened to follow up on the data project.
You don't have to worry about drinking, I'm allergic to alcohol, what do you drink?
Haha, yes, you have a way to deal with them. You remember, it doesn't matter if you turn your face with them and lose your job. There I am.
Lin Jinxi drilled into Xu Zeyuan's arms,
Ah Yuan, why are you so good to me?
Xu Zeyuan also understands that when Lin Jinxi called him Ah Yuan, she was talking to him in love. Is he good to her? So far, he doesn't dare to officially visit Lin Jinxi's parents, not because he doesn't want to, but because he hasn't understood a bunch of troubles yet. Originally, he was impatient to visit her parents, but once it started, Lin Jinxi was bound to meet his parents, and then the parents of both sides were going to meet to discuss marriage, as well as buying a house, he worked hard, and it took at least half a year to get together the down payment for a 100-square-meter house, although Lin Jinxi always said that he was home with her, and it didn't matter if he bought a house or rented a house, but he didn't want to wronged her.
Putting aside Meng Chen's previous history and the lies he had to make up for this, frankly speaking, Xu Zeyuan and Lin Jinxi are the most beautiful couple and relationship I have ever seen, they understand each other, respect each other, and are willing to each other.
