Chapter 429: Between Brother and Sister
She didn't rush towards Lu Ze like she did when she was a child, wrapped her arms around his neck, hung on him, and talked about how much she missed him during this time.
Now she just walked slowly, sitting on the dark green single sofa beside Lu Ze, holding a goose egg face in her hand, tilting her head, and smiling in her eyebrows.
"Brother. ”
"Well, do you still have a job? If you have a job, just do it, leave me alone, if it's not convenient for me here, I'll find a place downstairs and wait for you. ”
Lu Ze didn't immediately shift his gaze to her, the rest area next to the front desk provided magazines to pass the time, Lu Ze just flipped through it, closed the magazine, put it back on the bookshelf, leaned on the back of the chair, drank a sip of lemon tea, and treated Lu Nan with that stinky face, which has not changed since he was a child.
"Poof, no, just one customer in the afternoon, the rest of the time...... It's good to wait for the grinder to get off work~"
Seeing that Lu Ze was serious when he spoke, she couldn't help laughing, because it was not good to be in the company, she bluntly said that she was grinding foreign workers, and blocked her mouth with her side hand to avoid being heard by the front desk lady, and the volume also became smaller, and she said a word.
Mo Yanggong is joking as usual, sending away customers, she should take advantage of the afternoon to sort out the materials, but Lu Ze suddenly appeared, interrupting her plan, and now let Lu Nan work, she can't calm down, the moment she saw Lu Ze, she knew that she was going to stay up late tonight, and she must squeeze out more time during the day to accompany Lu Ze.
"Wait a minute, come to my office in a moment. ”
She got up and went to the front desk, took the form from the front desk, took a pen and sketched something on it, and kept explaining to the front desk lady until the front desk lady nodded her head to understand.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Lu Ze has seen Lu Nan work, this serious appearance makes him a little uncomfortable, the crazy girl finally accepted her temperament, and the taste of being a brother is really a bit complicated.
The most ideal psychological state of human beings is to be mature and not sophisticated, but maturity is exchanged for time and happiness.
After adjusting the schedule of customer appointments with the front desk, she carried Lu Ze's luggage and carried it on her back, just like Lu Ze once returned to his hometown before the New Year, even in the eyes of the front desk, the way the brother and sister get along like this is a little weird, but this is the habit that the two have developed over the years.
Passing through the corridor, it was not noisy at all, everyone was quietly doing their work, occasionally colleagues met, and they just nodded to each other, there was no need for her to introduce Lu Ze to her colleagues, only the brother and sister were chatting constantly.
"Brother, you've hacked a lot. ”
"Well, I've been filming a seaside scene for a long time, and I have to cover up a little bit during this time. ”
"The beach is good, I haven't been to the beach for several years, there is a whitening cream at home, I'll apply some to you at night, see how my office is?"
She pushed open the door of the office, it was a single person, the space was not large, but it was enough, the walls were snow-white, there was not much office furniture, in addition to the necessary desks and chairs, there were only two huge bookshelves placed behind the desk, one for books, the other for documents, not all books were legal books, there were also some famous books, the document labels were concise and clear, and they were placed in an orderly manner.
There are still written materials from the previous customer on the desk that have not been sorted out, Lu Ze didn't read it, she didn't talk about the rich woman just now, she still has this bit of ethics, she is cleaning up the desktop, and Lu Ze also shifted his attention to other decorations.
There are two windows in the room, and there is a pot of tiger pill orchid next to a window near the desk, which grows gratifyingly, one meter high, and the soil in the basin is still wet, it can be seen that Lu Nan often takes care of it, otherwise although the tiger pill orchid is not easy to die, but after lack of care, the leaf tip will be slightly yellow.
There are two oil paintings hanging on the wall, one is Monet's "Woman with an Umbrella in the Seaside Park", and the other is "The Boy Blowing Soap Bubbles" by Chardin, and her aesthetic direction is very satisfactory to Lu Ze.
Well...... As long as he doesn't think of Mickey, he loves Edvard Munch's works, every time he sees the "Scream" hanging on the dark red wall of Mickey's house, Lu Ze is a little panicked.
"Shall I take a leave of absence?"
"Why?"
"Anyway, it's not long before I get off work, and the work is basically done, so I'll leave work early and accompany you...... Come in. ”
The two had just chatted for a while, there was a knock on the office door, and after getting Lu Nan's permission, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over, nodding to Lu Nan with a warm smile.
"Mr. Chen. ”
Hearing Lu Nan call him so, Lu Ze also knew it in his heart, got up and took the lead in stretching out his hand, which was held by Mr. Chen's two hands, shaking vigorously, and the undisguised excitement on his face made him laugh.
He is not tall, a little fat, with a short neck, a typical gas tank figure, his face begins to flush as soon as he is excited, and he begins to sweat as soon as he is red, the sun shines on his face, and the sweat is mixed with the oil secreted by daily life.
"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry to disturb me, but if I don't come to say hello to you, it will be my rudeness, forgive me. ”
I don't know if he has special functions, which can make people feel sincerity easily, especially this red head, which can always make people feel good, Lu Ze is no exception, even if his blushing is a little abnormal, he is excited to see a star, and it is not enough for him.
"Mr. Chen is polite, I have to thank you for speaking of which, Lu Nan often mentions you to me, saying that you have given her a lot of help at work, but it is me, I have been busy abroad, and I have not personally thanked you, if I am rude, then I am right, Lu Nan, I have a Hermes box in my bag, you can help me take it out. ”
"Mr. Lu, you are too polite. ”
"Yes, I just came back, I don't know what to buy, so I can only give you something that you can use every day, not much money, talk about it." ”
The box contained a belt, which was originally bought for Lu Weiguo, but he was in a hurry, and he arrived here, and if he didn't come up with something that could be given away, it would be a bit excessive, Lu Ze was not so arrogant, thinking that his face was worth a thousand gold.
This is not the first time to give Mr. Chen a gift, before Lu Ze would also send some things to Lu Nan, let her give it to Mr. Chen as a favor, the first few times he refused, but slowly, it should be accepted, after all, it is not a state-owned enterprise, he is the boss, not so particular, this time is no exception.
Of course, when he came over this time, he didn't come specifically to ask for gifts, and he was not the master of the money, more, he still hoped to get to know Lu Ze, if he asked for it in the future, the connections were here, and the road was easier.
"Mr. Lu, this is my business card, that ...... Lu Nan, let's get off work early today, don't let Mr. Lu wait longer, then Mr. Lu, I won't bother, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, say hello to Ling Zun and Ling Tang for me. ”
didn't stay long, after exchanging business cards, he simply left, his purpose had been achieved, there was no need to paste on Lu Ze like a puddle of shit.
The two didn't comment too much on Mr. Chen, this kind of person Lu Ze has seen a lot, and Lu Nan also knows that Lu Ze has seen a lot, but Lu Nan happily accepted Mr. Chen's proposal, packed up his belongings, clocked out in advance, and left the company with Lu Ze.
……
"I take a taxi?"
"Brother...... I bought a car. ”
She took out the key from her bag and shook it in front of Lu Ze, she didn't see what brand it was, but it made Lu Ze stunned, and suddenly felt that she had been busy with work and missed a lot of things, she never mentioned the idea of buying a car to Lu Ze, but refused when Lu Ze proposed to buy a car, and refused Lu Ze's proposal many times on the grounds that she didn't dare to drive.
"Why did you remember to buy it again?"
"A while ago, the case was busy, I worked overtime until late every day, and I was a little afraid of taking a taxi alone, so I gritted my teeth and bought it, don't laugh at me, it's just three months, and I've hit it three times......"
She was a little embarrassed, a little difficult to say her own troubles, remembering the first time on the road, no one to accompany her to practice driving, the feeling of trembling and stomach cramps is still fresh in my memory.
In addition, when she caused the accident for the first time, she had no action and could only apologize to the other car owner, and she still felt a fever on her face when she recalled the situation at that time.
"How's it going?"
"Still not quite good. ”
"I'll practice with you, let's go, see what car you bought. ”
Since Lu Nan went to work, she never cared about Lu Ze asking for money, and she heard her mother say that she would send some money to the family to supplement the family, even if she knew that the family was not bad at all for her three melons and two dates.
At first, it ranged from 500 to 1,000 per month, and then gradually increased, and now she will send about 4,000 yuan every month, of course, her income is not low, the minimum salary of 3,000 is just a small item, and the big head still accepts the commission after the case, and the boss also takes more care of her, and the cases are more receiving, and the accumulation is tired, but there is still 20K per month.
Can you count food, clothing, housing, and housing, plus subsidies for the family, the girl's expenses are still larger, how much budget can be to buy a car? Lu Ze was thinking in her heart, following behind Lu Nan, and finally she revealed the answer, a red 1.5L Ankesaila, which did not surprise Lu Ze, basically in this price range.
She is very satisfied with this car, after all, this car does meet the aesthetics of most people, the price is acceptable to her, the car is very clean, it can be seen that she loves it very much, perhaps, this car is not only a means of transportation for her, but also a sign that she can be completely independent.
"How much does the car loan repay?"
"One month...... One thousand eight. ”
"Three years?"
"Well, brother, why don't you open it?"
She was a little hesitant, as if she had a psychological shadow after a few accidents, maybe it was just out of helplessness that she drove to commute every day, and sat on Lu Ze in the car, she remembered that she was afraid, and she was still not afraid that she would have problems.
The car key slid through the roof of the car and was pressed in Lu Ze's hand, he grabbed the car key and knocked lightly on the roof of the car, feeling a little entangled in his heart, but not about whether he should drive or not, in the end, he still wanted to ask Lu Nan's opinion.
"The new Continental looks good, why don't you get another one?"
"No, this car is very good, just for commuting, easy to drive, fuel-efficient, cheap maintenance, you bought it for me, I can't afford to pay the insurance, let alone drive." ”
"That's not a problem, just when I save you a dowry, and when you get married in the future, I'll prepare a house for you. ”
"I haven't met yet......
"You can't never marry in this life, drive it in advance, and I'll buy you better ones after you get married. ”
"Brother......
"Huh?"
"I'm twenty-eight years old. ”
Sometimes, people are always afraid of being taken care of too much, being favored too much, but it will be extremely difficult to accept, which may also be a kind of rebellion, which comes from their own cognition and bottom line, realizing that excessive demand will fall into the abyss and become a rice worm, which is not what they want, ideals, were born among these people, Lu Nan is like this.
But for Lu Ze, it was as if a piece of his soul was suddenly missing, as if the load-bearing wall had been destroyed, and his desire and hope were missing a piece of territory.
When his parents went out to work, Lu Nan was only three years old, from childhood to adulthood, how much blood and sweat Lu Ze has poured into Lu Nan over the years, maybe even he doesn't know it, he loves this sister, it has become a habit, a subconscious, he wants to give Lu Nan a more superior living environment, a freer life, so that she can face life and make choices, don't be like him, in the first thirty years of his life, many things have no choice.
But he also understands that the more he pays, the more guilt Lu Nan feels, and now she doesn't want to accept Lu Ze's care for her, the reason is that Lu Ze also understands that he should be pleased, but now it is difficult to be happy.
The two looked at each other, there was a red car in the middle, the ponytail had long been untied, the long hair was draped over the shoulders, and the breeze swept away, covering half of her soft cheeks, as the old man in the village said, she had a fairy spirit, and she didn't disperse until she was twenty-eight years old, and her hair was gently brushed at the back of her head, which was several times more beautiful than the slow motion in the TV series, but in her eyes, she was determined.
Not only for her own decision, but also for her brother, since he became a left-behind child at the age of nine, every day after that he was busy for this family, now, thirty-four-year-old Lu Ze has glorified the lintel, just property, in terms of his parents' way of living, he can't spend ten lifetimes, but he is still busy for this family.
It's okay to continue to be busy, but people have to be busy when they live, but Lu Nan hopes that the thirty-four-year-old Lu Ze is busy for himself, at least before he gets married, he should be busy for himself, if he gives birth to an unfilial son like Fugui in the future, he can't even wear pants for gambling, and it's not too late to work for the family.
"Xiao Nan. ”
"Huh?"
"It's okay, you can drive. ”
The car key slid over the roof of the car and returned to Lu Nan's hand, this time she didn't refuse, waited for Lu Ze to get into the car, slowly started the car, and drove towards her small home.
It was only after five minutes that Lu Ze rubbed his brows, sighed, and asked softly.
"Lu Nan. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you let go of the handbrake when you drive?"
