Chapter 16: Temptation
The Spring Festival holiday came as scheduled, and Zhang Xiaoxiao took her son Wenwen back. Because she didn't make an appointment to clean, Zhang Xiaoxiao decided to do it herself, Wenwen was very interested on the surface, but in fact, he could give Xiaoxiao very little help, and it would be good if he didn't help. They had been busy all afternoon, and there was still a lot of work to be done. In the evening, Huang Tingting called and said that she was asking her to eat, knowing that Xiaoxiao was cleaning and couldn't get out, she insisted on coming over to help.
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't want her to come over, for fear that her divorce would be exposed, but she couldn't resist Huang Tingting. She estimated that Huang Tingting must have something to come to her, otherwise she wouldn't insist on coming over. Although Huang Tingting and Liu Yue are their best friends in the unit, they don't have much contact in private, and rarely have more contact after work.
After Huang Tingting came, she didn't get straight to the point, but was very enthusiastic to help Zhang Xiaoxiao clean up the house, but there was someone as a helper, and the speed was much faster, she was like a person who often did housework, she was tidying up in an orderly manner, and her efficiency was much higher than Zhang Xiaoxiao's, and the cleaning work was quickly finished.
"Xiaoxiao, when will your husband come back?"
"I don't know, he got off work late. What's the matter, you're hungry? There's a restaurant near here that sells light food, and it tastes good, so I'll take you to try it right away. ”
"Oh, I said I'd wait for your husband to go with me. ”
"Well, don't wait, let's go first!"
This small café has two floors, with a small private room upstairs and seats in the lobby downstairs against the walls on both sides, shielded by curtains, leaving private space. Leaning against the wall is a bookshelf, and a circle of shelves protruding from the wall is filled with figures and meat, and the overall atmosphere is still quite elegant. Consumption is not expensive, a set menu ranges from more than 20 to more than 40, the key is that the meal is very exquisite, and it looks very appetizing.
In the past, it was more common for a few little sisters from the previous unit to come here for dinner, talk and laugh, and be so unhappy! I've been here with Feng Sen a few times, he either doesn't have enough to eat or keeps playing with his mobile phone, and it's better to eat at home if he complains, but for Zhang Xiaoxiao, although she came here because she wanted to have some mood with Feng Sen, as long as the family is together, the meal is fragrant, and Feng Sen is very happy if she doesn't cooperate. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart, the food is still the original taste, and the beauty of the past has been like a lifetime.
"Xiaoxiao,...... Before...... I've heard you say that you know friends who do aesthetic medicine, right?"
"To be exact, I have a classmate who is passionate about plastic surgery, and she has a lot of resources related to her. What, you're interested?"
"See if I can?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, she wanted to tell her that the first time she saw her, she wanted to suggest that she make some fine-tuning, but it was too immoral to say so.
"You can consider cutting a double eyelid because you have a longer eyeliner and are suitable for double eyelid cutting. By the way, you grit your teeth hard, yes, you can bare your teeth too. Zhang Xiaoxiao touched her cheeks and smacked her lips again and again. "Your face is really meat, your masseter muscles are not developed, face slimming injections are useless, then your face can only be liposuction, I think liposuction is not good, I heard that if you don't do it well, it will be sunken, or you should cut your double eyelids first, and then see what to do after you lose weight." ”
"It's rare to have a long holiday during the Spring Festival, I want to do it in one step!"
"Your face does have too much meat, but for people of my age, I recommend that you keep liposuction, and when you are older, the role of fat is no less than collagen, and there is flesh on your face to look young, so I'll accompany you to consult tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Xiaoxiao. Huang Tingting's excitement was beyond words.
Zhang Xiaoxiao actually has a lot of questions in her heart, including that night in Beijing, including her insistence on plastic surgery now, which should be related to a certain person. Because Huang Tingting's personality is conservative and persistent, that is, she generally does not try anything new, but once she decides to change, she will not stop until she achieves her goal.
However, who is this person who makes her so persistent, this person should be the person who went to Beijing with them, although Huang Tingting herself is not beautiful, but her heart is extremely high, among these people, she can only see a few, but she is mysterious about this, and has not shown a trace of it, what is the reason?
Huang Tingting ordered a vegetable salad, but refused to order it again, and has been in the company for four or five months, and this time her determination to lose weight seems to be particularly strong. Zhang Xiaoxiao patiently explained to her some scientific ways to lose weight, and told her that she can lose weight with a reasonable diet, and Huang Tingting ate a little pasta and steak.
"Xiaoxiao, I found out why are you so good at weight loss and plastic surgery?"
"When you're thirty, that's going to be most of your life. ”
"Huh?"
"It's a bit exaggerated, but people who are about the same age as me are all in contact with medical aesthetics, what lifting and firming, whitening and filling. Do you think celebrities are all ageless and childlike? Tell you, no one can resist gravity!"
"Old driver, take me with you?"
"I'll go, you still know the old driver. The little girl's family, don't use these words in the future. ”
"What a little girl, I'm an old girl, okay. ”
"Tingting, you are also 28 years old this year, is your family in a hurry?"
"I'm used to urging. ”
"What kind of person are you looking for? I'll keep an eye on it for you!"
"Good to me, nothing else!"
Girls who say that they don't have requirements are usually not low, and sometimes they consider various factors, and they are afraid that they will be laughed at by others and they can't help themselves.
"In addition to being good to you, appearance, family background and your own ability, which point do you value the most?"
Huang Tingting thought for a while, and said slowly and methodically: "Self-ability, I appreciate the kind of people who are very self-motivated and work their own." ”
"Hahaha, then I shouldn't be the kind of person you admire. ”
"Xiaoxiao, why not, we are all this kind of people, we are both children of poor families, in order to change our lives, we endure what others can't endure, and what others can't endure. ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao stared at Huang Tingting's face, and there were a thousand words in her heart, but she was stuck in her throat, and she didn't know where to start.
"Tingting, it's good to be motivated, but what we pursue is not only the goal, but also the enjoyment of the process. For example, if you work hard and have a certain economic foundation, you can buy the clothes you want to buy and can afford brand-name cosmetics, but you find that you are old, you no longer look good in clothes, and no matter how thick the powder is, you can't cover the wrinkles. I mean, what kind of age to do what kind of thing, at your age, you should dress up beautifully, and a boy who can promise you a future, have a good relationship, enjoy youth, and don't become bitter and hateful because of poverty. ”
"I don't have it, I know how to enjoy it! But you, aren't you also saving money to buy a house? Why don't you enjoy it seriously?"
"At my age, as a mother, I have my own responsibilities, and the people who gave birth to you and the people you gave birth to are what you have to bear no matter how hard you work. When I bought a school district house for my son, I should enjoy it. Oh, you hurry up and enjoy it, when you enter the marriage hall, after a short period of happiness, you will have to face the chicken feathers of life. ”
"Then it's better not to get married! The people around me who get married, I feel that there are few happy people, every time they are together, they are just some chickens and dogs!"
"Pull it down, then how much pressure do you have to bear. Besides, what others show you is the dissatisfaction you feel in your own life, and when others are sweet, it is inconvenient to share them with you. ”
chatted with Huang Tingting until late, Zhang Xiaoxiao also learned about Huang Tingting's personality in a more three-dimensional way, and the two of them were the closest friends in the company before, but they only knew the surface. Her personality is very similar to Han Juanjuan, she is the kind of person who is forbearing, persistent and kind and considerate, only one thing, the two are not very similar, Han Juanjuan will express her kindness to others enthusiastically, and Huang Tingting will not at all, she is a little more wooden, and the first contact will make people feel very indifferent. After learning about her character, Zhang Xiaoxiao has some faint worries, people with these personalities follow the rules most of the time, but in key things, once they are wrong, it is often difficult to turn back.
"Tingting, do you know that Mr. Huang lives in this community?"
"I don't know, how do you know?"
"I know it's not normal, I'm a guard with a sword. ”
"Oh, by the way, is Mr. Huang easy to get along with?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao pretended to think for a while before saying: "People are not bad, they don't have so many hearts. It's just temper, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. ”
Huang Tingting laughed: "Don't offend me, or I'll tell Mr. Huang your evaluation." ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao glanced at her: "Then you evaluate it!"
Huang Tingting: "I don't judge leaders casually!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and then asked: "Among our colleagues, including all the leaders, who do you admire the most?"
Huang Tingting thought for a while and replied: "Tang Jingjing, she is rich, and she is really rich, and she is beautiful, and she has a good character, and she has a good personality, oh my God, so much and, alas, jealousy." ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "What about the male colleague?"
Huang Tingting: "A lot, I think several leaders are outstanding, like Mr. Lei, Mr. Huang, including Song Yin, they are very serious about their work, and they really have the ability." ”
After talking for a long time, she didn't ask why, Huang Tingting was also cautious enough, Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to give up helplessly, and suddenly, in the careful aftertaste, she found some heavenly opportunities: she didn't specifically mention someone, but she seemed to have missed someone, was it deliberate?
"What about Mr. Guo, I think he's not bad!"
Huang Tingting looked at her and smiled slightly: "It's good...... Yes good. ”
The smile was a little strange, but she didn't ask again, Huang Tingting didn't want to say, it should be that the time hasn't come yet, too much snooping on other people's privacy will also make people disgusted, right?
