31. Chapter XXXI
The night is sultry.
There was no light in the small courtyard, and the heat on the ground was surging up, steaming all over the face with sweat, and a little fragrance wafted from where inadvertently, it seemed to be a good thing done by the breeze.
At first, he kissed very restrainedly, like a little boy, buying his beloved ice cream with his long-accumulated pocket money, tasting it in small sips, refusing to let the sweetness rush to the top instantly, it was too extravagant. However, pleasure is like a tide, the first wave does not stop, and the second wave rises again, urging the indescribable desire, and more, a little more. Her breathing, her soft murmuring, stimulated his every sense. His fingertips rested on the red mole on her neck, and the damp hair wrapped around the back of her palm, heavy and soft intertwined.
She was slightly breathless, and whispered a reminder in the gap, "Don't-"
He tilted his head with his eyes closed, distracting himself from the delicious dessert.
That made her feel sorry for her, but she sympathized with him, and who could sympathize with her? So reason returned in a moment, and she looked at herself coldly, and then another voice came out of her heart, not too harsh, casual.
Xu Tao let go of the messy thoughts, finally took another shower, and stood by the window to blow his hair.
Cheng Qinghe answered two phone calls in the yard, and when she came back, she was bent over, holding a small hair dryer, and blowing her long hair slowly in front of her. Seeing that he was tired for him, he couldn't help but take the hair dryer and press her on the chair to dry her hair.
"Why don't you buy a high-powered one?" he said, following the example of a barbershop, parting her long hair and holding it in his hand to dry it thinly. She didn't answer, she really treated him as a little brother in the hairdresser, and she looked like "I'm here to enjoy".
The room was quiet, no one spoke, only the dull sound of a hair dryer. Just when Cheng Qinghe thought that Xu Tao was about to fall asleep, she suddenly burst out, "What happened today?" His hand paused, and he said casually, "No." ”
Her fingers tapped on the armrest, "The time you came proves that you haven't been home before you came, and you came directly from the factory." The knock on the door was violent, and in addition to worry, it was probably because the mood was not good. Finally, the front and the back, is it ...... I've become some kind of proof? Like, you're capable enough to protect the people you want to protect?"
The noise stopped, and the top of her head ached, and he said quietly, "There's a gray hair, I'll pull it out for you." ”
"Pluck one and grow ten. Xu Tao was not satisfied with his approach, "It grows on my head, it's your business!" His eyes were dark, and the tall man turned around and stood in front of her to block the light, but he was still quiet, "Girls, don't say those words." ”
"What the hell do you like about me?"
"You're so smart that you don't know how likable you are?"
She dragged her voice, "Huh?" he kissed her perfunctorily on the forehead, "You're the first one to worry about me." He half-crouched down to look her in the eye, "It's a pleasure to be with you." "But what do I think...... she deliberately slowed down her speech, but her eyes poked into his heart fiercely, "Our chairman did something not very smart, he kicked me out of the company, but it touched the rebellious psychology of his son, the more he didn't allow it, the more he had to do it." And today, what happened that that son wanted to lift me up to the sky?"
The light in his eyes cooled little by little.
She watched with interest, curious and cruel.
Cheng Qinghe stood up, "It's late, I'm leaving." ”
Xu Tao sat in place, pulling his hair back casually, and the sound of the door closing was particularly clear at night. She licked her upper lip, as if to say something ugly, in fact, how can human feelings be simple. Cheng Qinghe and his father, obviously they are the only relatives in the world, but they hurt each other without mercy, do they really have so much hatred? At least for now, they will not allow blows from outsiders. And she is not willing to be like Changyuan, let the two of them crush the crumbling father-son relationship by themselves. Even one day, that person can't be her.
With Cheng Qinghe's interruption, Xu Tao planned to fight at night. She opened her phone and mailbox and processed them one by one.
Zhao Congzhou's call-she called back, his voice was a little muffled, as if he had just woken up from sleep, and it became bright after hearing her voice, "Tao Tao, my dad was arrested." ”
I really didn't expect that Cheng Zhongguo would quickly take action after receiving the letter, and he would actually point the finger at his old friend and old subordinate Zhao Gang. But then again, there is no more suitable candidate than Zhao Gang. Even if there is a grudge, he will not pull Cheng Zhongguo into the water, his character and character are there, what Xu Tao can see, Cheng Zhongguo can see even more.
"Who did that?" she asked.
"I don't know. As she expected, the standard Zhao answer was that Zhao Congzhou would not point to the object of suspicion until he got a definite answer.
"Be careful on the road. She advised, "Stay and send me a text back, just ask me if you need help." "Before the situation calms down, Cheng Zhongguo will not let Zhao Gang come out to increase the number of cubes in the troubled waters, Xu Tao guessed. Zhao Gang deserves this retribution, but she will not intervene to make his situation worse. What she said was not against her will, just looking at Zhao Congzhou, she would help anyone she could.
Zhao Congzhou agreed, and only spoke again after a while, "Xu Tao, I hate the old man, he is too old-fashioned, and he takes Changyuan too seriously. If it weren't for my mother and I thinking about it, I'm afraid I would have been angry with him, everything is headed by Old Man Cheng, and everything is focused on Changyuan, where is our position?" said his voice became more and more muffled, "However, last time he was sick, and today he was taken away, I am very sad, and I am sad when I think about it." I...... I'd rather listen to him a few words of nagging every day, as I used to do. ”
Both he and she were silent. It was still Zhao Congzhou who reluctantly smiled, "Look at what I said." It's okay, Qiao Jun was driving, and I was bombarded by him when I drove for two hours in the afternoon, saying that I would let professional people do professional things. ”
Xu Tao also smiled, "Yes." ”
After ending the call, Zhao Congzhou lit a cigarette for Qiao Jun, put it on his mouth for him, opened a bottle of Coke by himself, drank most of the bottle of Coke, Gudong, Gudong, wiped his mouth and exhaled a long breath, "Dude, thank you for your hard work, put down your girlfriend and accompany me all the way north." ”
Qiao Jun glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, "Come on, you, don't want to pay a penny less for the car, let's go back and settle the bill." How much money did Cheng Pinghe transfer to you?"
"One hundred thousand. Zhao Congzhou said, "I hope that the matter will be solved if it is not needed." ”
Qiao Jun laughed, "That's certain, definitely not needed." Your youngest daughter is very popular. "From the afternoon to the evening, my sisters called a lot, all of them to express condolences. Sherlock Holmes Joe said very firmly, "I said you still have a chance, right? If your sister Xu is with Cheng Qinghe, how can I talk to you for so long." He looks at her like a thief, and he can't wait to isolate you after eating a hot pot. ”
"Really?" Zhao Congzhou said listlessly, and didn't take it to heart, "His family has this character, staring at it like a black-eyed chicken." Luckily, I didn't succeed with Peace, otherwise I would have had to report to her before I called anyone. ”
Qiao Jun said with a smile, "Old man Cheng's strength in staring at his one-third of an acre of land is stronger than all of them, I'm afraid he won't even be willing to give his own son." He's sick, isn't he?"
"Who knows. Zhao Congzhou drank Coke, "Cheng Qinghe's mother died so early, he didn't marry another, and he didn't hear about any hobbies, except for work or work, it's okay when you go to work, and it's uncomfortable to retire." ”
"Why did he step down?"
"There was a veteran who brought a large number of technical backbones to the competitor's factory, and he was so angry that he fell ill and lay down for more than a year. The patriarchs didn't accept anyone, and they thought it was better to let Cheng Qinghe take over, and you also knew later. ”
Qiao Jun sighed twice, "He can come out again when he is in good health, why don't you say it directly?" Zhao Congzhou smiled, "Who knows." It is estimated that he can't save face, and he can't kick his son away. If you want me to see it, the patriarchs also saw this, and held him against Cheng Qinghe. ”
Qiao Jun still felt incredible, "Cheng Qinghe is too blind, he wants it, he can't just come out, anyway, sooner or later it will be his." Zhao Congzhou shook his head, "That's not the case, it is estimated that he has his own ideas, and he wants to get Changyuan up, and he is not so willing to quit." ”
Qiao Jun commented, "They are all capable people! To be like us, it is a good thing to earn more, and it doesn't matter if you earn less, just enough to live, just don't worry about it." It's like they have great ambitions, worrying about the country and the people, tossing and turning. Your father thinks you have no ambition, and now I guess he doesn't think so, and it won't be a taste if you come with him all the time. ”
Speaking of Zhao Gang, Zhao Congzhou didn't have the strength to speak, and it took a long time before he answered, "Yes." ”
Zhao Gang's situation did not stir up a storm in Changyuan for too long, and in a blink of an eye, the employees were attracted by new things. In the workshop, in the warehouse, in the office building, there are people quietly talking.
"Has anyone spoken to you about withdrawing your application?"
"Yes. If you don't withdraw it, you will be suspended first. ”
"Who? Didn't the workshop director start this matter, he softened first?"
"No, the deputy director. The deputy director is from the chairman's side, and he took a stipend all the way to finish middle school and college. "I've heard that the chairman intends to give out the shares recovered to their cohort. ”
When I first entered Changyuan, these people didn't know where they were. If you have the ability to fire me, I want to see how they can fire people with indefinite contracts! If you really dare to do it, you will see you at the Labor Bureau. ”
"Don't get excited, why are you so loud. "What do you say about our heads?" he won't get the benefit and leave us, right?"
"No, it won't. At the beginning, who wanted to poach him, he didn't leave, and later Old Man Cheng also rewarded him with a special house. ”
"Why didn't you see it when you divided the room?"
"How could you possibly let you see. We'll wait for him to give an explanation. ”
The movements in the factory naturally can't be hidden from those who have a heart, and Cheng Qinghe is also one of them. However, at this time, he was just a bystander, and before he knew it, he was abandoned on the sidelines, and the only thing he could do was probably to comfort Cheng Pinghe, who was depressed. And the latter has been silent for a few days, and there is no consciousness and joy at all that he has finally been pushed to the first position in the finance department.
Cheng Qinghe felt that it was time to talk to her.
