Chapter 12 The Plan Begins
When Cai Jingshu left from the cemetery in the western suburbs, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon. She plans to find an opportunity to talk to her father about joining the company when she gets home in the evening.
She had just gotten out of the car and was about to step into the house when she saw a dark blue Porsche parked outside the door. She fixed her eyes and remembered that it was Zhang Zhenting's car, and wondered in her heart: Why did he come here today? While thinking about turning around to avoid it, she happened to run into her father's driver, and the driver hurriedly asked: "Miss, did you just come back and go out again?" Cai Jingshu was about to prevaricate when she was overheard by her father in the hall. His father's voice came from inside the hall: "Is it Jingshu, come in......!" You can only go in hard.
"Dad, I'm back. Cai Jingshu smiled reluctantly.
In the hall, she saw her father Cai Junhong sitting on the sofa in the hall, next to Lin Suqin's mother and daughter and Zhang Zhenting, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to leave, thinking that now was not a good time to speak, so she was ready to go upstairs.
"Jingshu, come and sit down for a while!" Cai Junhong turned his head to look at Cai Jingshu and said.
Cai Jingshu was stunned for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and retreated to the nearest chair to sit down. Didn't the father deliberately make it difficult for her to sit comfortably in front of her ex-husband and stepmother, mother and daughter? On the surface, he tried to maintain a calm and peaceful appearance.
"Dad, do you have something to tell me?" Cai Jingshu couldn't help but ask.
"Jingshu, you haven't been home for a long time, it's rare that Zhenting is here tonight, let's have a good meal as a family!" Cai Junhong said.
Cai Jingshu felt an indescribable taste in her heart. Does the father really not know everything? He doesn't know that he and Zhang Zhenting are going through the divorce procedures? Or does he not know that he wants to divorce because of his precious daughter, Cai Jingya!
"Dad, I don't have an appetite, you can eat!" she said and didn't go back upstairs.
"Yo, Toshihiro. Look, your precious daughter is really getting more and more unruly!, or our Jingya is well-behaved!" Lin Suqin said with a smug expression and deliberately provocatively. Cai Jingya on the side also deliberately agreed, pretending to be pitiful: "My sister may not like to see me." ”
Zhang Zhenting sat on the side and was silent. Cai Jingya deliberately leaned her body against Zhang Zhenting and said semi-coquettishly: "Brother Zhenting, you haven't been with me for a long time, you can accompany me to the weekend dance!"
Cheung has never been very enthusiastic about social events such as proms, so he does not want to attend. "I've always disliked these social activities, so you can have some fun then!" Zhang Zhenting said lightly. For Cai Jingya, he has always tried his best to meet her requirements and take care of her. In his eyes, Cai Jingya will always be a petite and weak little girl, not as stubborn and arrogant as Cai Jingshu.
"Brother Zhenting, they want you to accompany me. Cai Jingya pouted and continued to coquettishly.
Lin Suqin, who was on the side, also echoed her daughter and said: "Zhenting, celebrities from all walks of life are present at this ball, and it is also beneficial for you to participate." She thought in her heart about how she could introduce Zhang Zhenting as her prospective son-in-law in front of everyone that night.
Zhang Zhenting touched Cai Jingya's head dotingly, and said softly: "Okay, I'll accompany you for a while." ”
It didn't take long for the servants to prepare dinner with all kinds of food on the table.
Cai Jingshu was in the room on the second floor, she heard the sound of tableware being placed downstairs, and her stomach was a little hungry, but she didn't want to face those few people, she only thought about how to talk to her father about her joining the group after dinner. At this time, the mobile phone next to him rang, and the caller ID was Qingqing.
"Hey, Qingqing, what's wrong?" Cai Jingshu asked first.
"Jingshu, my dad is going to have a charity ball this Saturday, so you can come and play together!" Qingqing said.
"Qingqing, it's not like you don't know that I'm not good at socializing. How inappropriate is it for me to go?" Ms. Cai said.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, and elites from all walks of life will come that night, you can expand your network more!" Qingqing continued to lobby Jing Shu.
Yes, don't you just need to expand your network, or there will be a windfall......
"Okay then, but you're going to choose clothes with me!"
"No problem! Wrap it around me!" replied Qingqing.
When I hung up the phone, I heard my father's footsteps going upstairs after dinner. Cai Jingshu hurriedly walked up and followed his father into the study.
"Jingshu, do you have something to say to me?" asked Cai Junhong.
"Yes, Dad. Zhenting and I are getting divorced, and now we are going through the divorce procedures, and I don't want to be idle at home all day...... Looking for a job. Cai Jingshu said cautiously.
"Oh, I probably know about your divorce, but I didn't expect you sisters to like Zhenting, but... Jingya turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, but the accident two years ago... Jingshu, don't think about it too much, Dad knows that you are uncomfortable, you see that Jingya is your sister, you can let her!" Cai Junhong said.
"Dad, I'm also your daughter......" Cai Jingshu's heart was sour, how could she let these things go again!
"If you want to find a job, it can be used as a spiritual sustenance. You... What do you want to do?"
"Dad, can I join the group? It's okay to work at the grassroots level. Cai Jingshu took the opportunity to say.
"You want to join the group? But I'm going back to find out what's vacant, and I'll find out tomorrow. ”
"Dad, thank you!" Cai Jingshu can rest assured now, this matter is basically decided.
Cai Jingshu returned to the room with peace of mind. At this time, the housekeeper brought a bowl of noodle soup, which was Cai Jingshu's favorite seafood noodle soup.
"Miss, I know you didn't eat dinner, so I brought it to you. "The housekeeper watched Cai Jingshu grow up and has always taken special care of her.
"Thank you, Steward Chen!" Cai Jingshu was grateful.
"After the eldest lady has eaten, let's rest early!"
This family may only care about her Steward Chen, Cai Jingshu is very moved.
The next morning, Jing Shu made an appointment with Qingqing to choose a dress for the weekend's party.
The two came to a dress shop, which is one of the most high-end dress customization centers in the imperial capital. There are a variety of custom-made, limited-edition dress styles: a long fishtail dress with rhinestones, a hand-sewn fairy tuft, and a one-shoulder style...... As long as you can say it, you can have it here.
Both of them were fascinated by the style in the store, and after a round of try-ons, Qingqing chose a one-shoulder aqua blue fishtail dress, while Jingshu chose a light purple bandeau dress, and they left contentedly to wait for the weekend's dance party......
When Cai Jingshu returned home, it was already evening. Cai Junhong was sitting on the sofa in the hall, waiting for Jing Shu.
"Dad, I'm back. Cai Jingshu said hello to her father.
"Jingshu, over there in the group, I asked, there is a vacancy in the capital department, are you willing to try?"
"Dad, I can try, thank you!" Cai Jingshu replied.
"Jingshu, you do it well, and ask other colleagues in the department if you don't understand. Let's start working at the group tomorrow!"
"I know, Dad!" Cai Jingshu happily went to the room.
