Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen sat face to face, Lu Huaishen looked at her, did not answer immediately, put one hand on the back of the chair next to him, and rested on the table with the other.

Because he doesn't live often, Lu Huaishen didn't put much thought into the decoration of the house, Pei Shao was responsible for everything, and he didn't add too many details of Lu Huaishen's personal preferences, it was a simple and modern style with light tones, which was in line with Lu Huaishen's preferences as a whole.

Although he hadn't been here much before, he sat there, the master was full of momentum, and the style of the person and the room was inexplicably suitable.

The light in the restaurant was exceptionally clear, and the clear light shone on his face, and the deep eyes were especially bright.

Lu Huaishen said after a while: "The house, water and electricity, etc., do you need me to check it for you?" No one has lived in it before, in case there is a problem, it is better to find out in time." ”

Jiang Ruo: "......"

What she said before was like a chicken and a duck?

She said: "You are not a plumber, if there is a problem, I will find someone to fix it." ”

In fact, the decoration of the house was personally accepted by Pei Shao, if there is a problem, of course it has already been solved, which Lu Huaishen knows well.

Lu Huai raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and didn't talk again for a while.

Jiang Ruo looked at him like that, worried that he was looking for an excuse to stay again.

She thought for a moment, twisted her eyebrows lightly, and said in a serious tone: "Lu Huaishen, you promised before." You can't even do what you've said, so how can I believe you?"

Lu Huaishen's relaxed expression gradually disappeared from his face, and he stared at her intently for a while.

After a long time, he got up, and when he turned around, he said lightly, "Let's go." ”

At this moment, Lu Huaishen felt an unprecedented truth, Jiang Ruo really didn't want to be in the same room with him. It's not that she's hypocritical, it's not that she wants to get away with it.

She really wanted to seriously consider divorce.

His appearance is her only problem now.

Lu Huaishen has no experience of stalking for a woman, this is the first time, he kicked the iron plate hard, even if it is Jiang Ruo, he will inevitably feel hurt his self-esteem, and the frustration is very strong. A breath of depression was blocked in his chest, he couldn't go up or down, and his mood was quite unpleasant, so Lu Huaishen felt that it was not interesting to stay, and he was too lazy to stay with her Zhou Xuan, as she wished.

When I got to the underground parking lot and got into the car, I regretted it a little. Is it really because she is so cranky and ends up getting divorced?

Lu Huaishen held the steering wheel, stayed in the car for a while, and then wiped his face before starting the car and leaving.

The door slammed shut, and a dull sound rang out.

Jiang Ruo stared at the empty chair opposite, her heart was empty for a moment, and her head was in chaos, she propped her hands on the table, inserted her fingers into her hair, and sat quietly for a while, until the food was cold, then she got up to clean up the scraps and clean up the kitchen.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was not yet eight o'clock, and she didn't really want to pack her luggage, so she wanted to buy some pregnancy science books on a whim.

Now in addition to the physical discomfort caused by morning sickness, she does not have that strong sense of having another little life in her belly, in short, her maternal love is not too strong.

She was at a loss at the moment, not so sure that she had to give birth to it, but before she actually made a decision, the responsibility drove her to do something to protect it from harm for the time being.

But she understands that this is actually very cruel, if she really doesn't want it at that time, then all this done before is undoubtedly to give a sweet date and a slap, and the damage will be even more serious.

Now it has not yet taken shape at all, does not understand parting and choice, and does not understand sadness, let it grow up in the belly, it will only make her more and more reluctant, and when the time comes, it is its life that will be given up, and the sadness in the real sense will still be borne by her.

But now let her go and kill it, she can't make up her mind. She imagined the scene for a moment, and suddenly felt that she couldn't bear the stripping of her blood.

Jiang Ruo put aside those distracting thoughts, changed his clothes and went to a nearby shopping mall, wandering around, hoping to find a bookstore inside.

It turned out that she really found it.

The bookstore has a strong bookish atmosphere, and the people who come in consciously keep their volume down, and there is a rest area inside, where many people drink and read.

Books are subdivided and classified, Jiang Ruo walked inside, only to see the bookshelf of pregnancy and infants near the end, in front of the bookshelf stood a young woman picking books, wearing a dress that was not very loose, and it was seen that the lower abdomen was slightly bulging.

Jiang Ruo didn't know which books were more highly recommended, so he read them all the way and flipped through them, picked a few books that looked more scientific and reliable, and left the bookstore at the checkout.

The mall was not very far from Hualingfu, but Jiang Ru was too lazy to walk, so he still drove over.

As soon as he put the book in the co-pilot, Jiang Ruo received a call from Wang Zhaolai, talking about finding a job for Xu Qiumei.

"I asked my friend's company, and either there is no shortage of people, or your cousin's level is not up to it. Before, my family heard my mother say that a cousin of mine was the director of the financial department in a car company, there was a shortage of people, it just so happened that your cousin was an accounting major, so I went to try it out first, and the treatment was still good after becoming a regular. ”

"Where is it?"

"Yes, I was about to tell you that the place is relatively remote, near the suburbs, there is a company's industrial park, and the office is there. Because there is a business connection with the head office abroad, and there are some foreign employees there, there are some requirements for English, so you should ask your cousin to prepare first. ”

Jiang Ruo said, "I'll give you an answer after asking her." ”

Jiang Ruo has already decided that no matter whether Xu Qiumei is willing to accept this job or not, after this time, she will not help her again, and her family will not let her continue to live.

Jiang Ruo called Xu Qiumei.

Because of what happened in Bolu that day, Xu Qiumei later called and scolded her, and the Cheng family didn't let her go, Jiang Ruo listened to it for less than half a minute, and interrupted her: "I recorded it, if you scold again, I will give the recording to my mother, you either continue to scold, or hurry up to find a house, otherwise you will be ready to sleep on the street tonight." ”

Xu Qiumei hung up the phone angrily.

Xu Qiumei has a big temper, but she has no backbone, thinking that she has to rely on Jiang Ruo to find a job for her, she likes the connections of Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen, and she is still temporarily separating.

The phone was connected, but it was noisy, and the background sound of the electric music in the nightclub made Jiang Ruo unable to hear Xu Qiumei at all.

Jiang Ruo said: "Your work has been settled. ”

Xu Qiumei said loudly: "I'm outside now, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

"What time are you going back?"

"After twelve. ”

"I've already gone to bed, I'll come to Jinshang Nanyuan tomorrow night, and you will come back on time." ”

"Good. ”

In order to prevent Qiao Hui from finding out about her suspension, Jiang Ruo passed at night on weekdays.

After she was ready to find a new job, she told Qiao Hui that she didn't like her old job, so she took the initiative to resign. Of course, if this matter can be resolved peacefully, she will not bother to toss, go to another company and start over, and it will not be so easy to find a job with the same level and treatment as DS.

In the evening of the next day, Jiang Ruo went to Jinshang Nanyuan, and Xu Qiumei was there.

After Jiang Ruo arrived, Xu Qiumei slowly walked out in a loose lounge suit.

In the days here, she lived very comfortably, with part-time workers to clean regularly, three meals a day, she didn't have to eat breakfast, and the other two meals were made by others, and she didn't have to spend her own money, so she was a little happy.

Jiang Ruo looked at her like that, and he felt more and more eyesore.

Since Xu Qiumei scratched her head and gestured deeply to Lu Huai that day, Qiao Hui has become even more dissatisfied with this idler at home, after Cheng Hua left, the two of them are usually at home, and there is basically no communication.

Xu Qiumei leaned on the sofa and signaled Jiang Ruo to say something.

After Jiang Ruo informed her of the location and position, Xu Qiumei was not happy, "I know that the industrial park is in the suburbs, and it is too far away, so I don't want to work in such a remote place." ”

Xu Qiumei's reaction was expected by Jiang Ruo.

"You asked me to help you find a job, I helped you find it, if you don't like it or not, that's your business, since you don't like what I helped you find," Jiang Ruo spread his hands, "What job do you like next, rely on yourself." ”

Xu Qiumei was angry and said unreasonably: "I remember I told you my request, right?

"Fooling you?" Jiang Ruo smiled, "There is an old saying, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, can you be more practical, first weigh your own level? You graduated from three colleges, you don't have the work experience to get started, you have to be a manager, and you have to earn more than 20,000 yuan a month, do you know how many years it took the head of the finance department of the automobile company to sit in this position? People are obtained step by step by hard work, since you don't want to be down-to-earth, then you can only dream forever." ”

Xu Qiumei thought that she was teased by Jiang Ruo, and with Jiang Ruo's connections, she would definitely be able to help her find a better job, but she just didn't want to.

Qiao Hui said: "This job is still good, not long after you graduated, you have not had a stable job, now that you are stable and do it well, you will naturally have the opportunity to be promoted in the future." ”

Xu Qiumei couldn't listen to it, complained about Jiang Ruo in her heart, and thought that Jiang Ruo deliberately insulted and belittled her.

She smiled coldly: "Jiang Ruo, I think you did it on purpose, right?"

Jiang Ruo frowned.

"Didn't you deliberately find me a job in that kind of remote place, just to make me move out of your house quickly?"

Qiao Hui said: "Meimei, you can't say that......"

Xu Qiumei didn't let her finish her words, and said in a strange manner: "Auntie, you don't know, Jiang Ruo is selfish! She just deliberately gave me that kind of job with no future, she ......"

Jiang Ruo was afraid that she would be angry and talk nonsense, so he intercepted her words in time: "What selfish am I? Why did I do it on purpose? My friend's cousin is the financial director who has been promoted there step by step, and the company has a bilingual working environment, if you do a good job, you will have the opportunity to study abroad, and you may even be promoted to a foreign headquarters, and it will be very easy to apply for immigration and settle in Europe when the time comes." Are you unrealistic and unrealistic, and you have no vision, do you have no future in your job, or do you have no future in yourself?"

Xu Qiumei was speechless by her, she wanted to refute but couldn't find the loopholes in her words, she felt like being taught a lesson, unconvinced but with nowhere to go.

To put it bluntly, I still suffered the loss of culture, and I only knew how to be arrogant, but I couldn't tell the truth to the point.

And after Jiang Ruo said this, Xu Qiumei actually felt that there was still some truth, mainly because the treatment of further study and promotion in the end sounded very attractive.

She stared at Jiang Ruo for a long time, and said suspiciously, "What you said is true?"

"This kind of thing, when you enter the company, you can find out as soon as you ask. ”

Xu Qiumei pondered for a while, and finally reluctantly said, "Then I'll try it." ”

"Don't think that you can easily pass the interview, people have requirements for English, even if you don't have a level exam certificate, practice speaking now, and then be able to deal with the interviewer." ”

"Got it. Xu Qiumei reluctantly responded.

After that, she changed her painting style and asked Jiang Ruo: "Are you and your brother-in-law okay now?"

Jiang Ruo said in his heart, and his face did not change: "Of course it's good, as long as you don't go to Lu Huaishen's company to make trouble in the future." ”

The corners of Xu Qiumei's mouth twitched.

Qiao Hui looked at Xu Qiumei: "You went to Lu Huaishen's company?"

Xu Qiumei squirmed: "Don't you want to go there and see, can you let him give him a job?"

Jiang Ruo didn't know the cause and effect, and he didn't know how Xu Qiumei looked at Lu Huaishen that night, but Qiao Hui knew it, so he wouldn't believe Xu Qiumei saying these words now.

She knocked on the side and wanted to remind Jiang Ruo: "The night after you went to see your aunt leave, Lu Huaishen came here and brought our hometown specialties over. ”

"Yes, did he tell you about this?" Xu Qiumei said as if she was looking at the excitement.

Jiang Ruo recalled that the second night after sending Cheng Hua was not the day before Xu Qiumei went to Bolu?

She frowned and said, "Of course I know, he told me before he came. ”

Xu Qiumei sneered, she didn't believe it.

Jiang Ruo left after dealing with Xu Qiumei's affairs, and Xu Qiumei offered to send her down.

Jiang Ruo guessed that Xu Qiumei should have something to say to her.

Closing the door, the two walked down together, Xu Qiumei threatened her in a yin and yang tone behind her: "If I find out that the company is not what you said, I will definitely tell my aunt about you and Lu Huaishen." ”

"What is the matter between me and Lu Huaishen?"

"You still ask me, don't you understand it yourself?"

Jiang Ruo just walked to the jogging platform, she stood still, turned around to look at her, and said lightly: "Xu Qiumei, you are actually not very smart, but you think you are smart, there is a saying that smart is mistaken by smart, which usually refers to a self-righteous person like you." Do you think my mother will still believe you? You shouldn't have gone to Bolu to make a big fuss, and then I can have every reason to say that you are unwilling, so you slander you. I was suspended because of a mistake at work, so I took the initiative to resign so as not to have a bad impact on the company. As for the scandal between Lu Huaishen and Du Shengyi, it is completely nonsense, the media is making up nonsense, Lu Huaishen has real estate there, he went to Du Shengyi's building at all, and there is not even a photo of Lu Huaishen and Du Shengyi in the same frame, where is it worth believing? And you, in order to take revenge on me, use these unwarranted things to threaten me. ”

Xu Qiumei trembled with anger: "You...... You even made up the rhetoric, you reversed black and white, do you want to be shameless?"

"To treat shameless people, it is natural to show a shameless posture. Jiang Ruo's expression turned cold, and he glanced at her indifferently, "Xu Qiumei, you have to work, I helped you find it, I also gave you the six-figure necklace for free, even if you sell the necklace second-hand, it can make your life worry-free in a short time." I am benevolent and righteous, and you are good for yourself. After the job is settled, I find a house and move away. Otherwise, I can only use inferior means than you to give you a taste of what a threat is. ”

Xu Qiumei watched Jiang Ruo leave, and screamed angrily, and the voice-activated lights on the three floors were all turned on by her.

Since Lu Huaishen came that day, her aunt has been much colder to her, of course she can feel it, and now that she heard that she went to Bolu to make trouble, she won't believe her words.

The means were exhausted, and she really didn't threaten Jiang Ruo anymore now.

Jiang Ruo got into the car and didn't leave immediately, but called Wang Zhao first and told her that Xu Qiumei was willing to go to the car company to give it a try.

Wang Zhao said: "Okay, then I'll contact my cousin and ask your cousin to wait for the notice." ”

After speaking, she remembered something again, "By the way, I met Zhou Zhiya in the company today, and I wanted to ask her about the results of the current company's negotiations with Du Shengyi's brokerage company, but that person didn't reveal anything at all." ”

Jiang Ruo didn't feel strange at all, "Zhou Zhiya has a high level of professionalism, a very tight tone, and is known for only being loyal to Gisele, and she didn't deal with you very well with me some time ago, and I don't know it, I will be grateful to Dade if she doesn't fall into the ground." ”

Wang Zhao felt a little strange, "Isn't it just to discuss the issue of responsibility and compensation, as for discussing for so long, a week has passed, and there is no news, so it's not easy for you to find a home if you drag it here." ”

Jiang Ruo told her about his decision: "I will wait and see, I will realize that it is irretrievable, I will take the initiative to resign, I have been looking for a job recently, and I will go back to apply if there is a suitable one." ”

"It makes sense, it's best to take precautions," Wang Zhaogang refuted his words in less than two seconds after speaking, "No, I think you should put your work on hold for the time being, take care of the baby, and now that you get the shares, you don't have to worry about money." Threatened miscarriage in the first trimester is not a good thing, you need to rest well, and don't forget to go for a follow-up. ”

Jiang Ruo said: "I'll think about it again......"

Wang Zhao hung up the phone, Jiang Ruo drove on the road, didn't dare to be distracted, didn't think about anything else, went home and felt sleepy, took a shower and went to sleep, leaving everything related to work behind.

As a result, as soon as I woke up the next day, I received a call from Gisele.

Gisele listened to her lazy voice answering the phone, and laughed: "You don't have to work these days, but you have a good life." ”

Jiang Ruo didn't think this was a good thing, so she didn't answer, she asked, "Is the result of the handling out?"

Gisele was silent for a moment before saying, "The purpose of my call to you is precisely related to this matter. Du Shengyi hopes you can apologize to her. ”

Jiang Ruo was stunned: "Was it requested by Du Shengyi herself, or did her company request it?"

Gisele was a little impatient: "What do you care about this, this matter is caused by you, shouldn't you apologize?"

Jiang Ruo listened to her loud words, quite angry, she sat up from the bed, bit her lower lip, and said in a very solemn tone: "I won't apologize, I haven't been sorry for her." ”

"Y-you say it again?" Gisele was shocked by Jiang Ruo's resolute attitude, and was a little incoherent.

Jiang Ruo said calmly: "It's the same no matter how many times I say it, I won't apologize." ”

Gisele laughed hard, and said in an accentuated tone: "Jiang Ruo, I see that you still can't figure out the situation! Because of you, Du Shengyi injured his foot, and he couldn't go overseas to shoot another part of the advertisement, and now the entire construction period has been delayed, and the company must pay for the losses of all the personnel involved in this project, and the tickets and schedules purchased must all be postponed." Now I didn't hold you accountable for this, I just asked you to apologize, you said no to me?"

Jiang Ruo was silent.

After last week, Jiang Ruo was suspended, and naturally he could not go abroad to participate in the overseas part of the advertising shooting. She had bought a few swimsuits and vacation dresses before, and she was quite looking forward to the sea in the South Plains, but then her trip was ruined, and those clothes were also pressed into the corner of the wardrobe.

She hasn't been on the Internet for the past few days, and she doesn't know much about Du Shengyi's foot injury, Wang Zhao may have heard about it in the company, but she was probably afraid of her mood, so she didn't tell her, only said that the advertising shooting was postponed.

Gisele saw that she didn't react for a long time, and she was even more angry: "Say something!"

Jiang Ruo took a deep breath and said, "I will hand in my resignation report." ”

Gisele was stunned by her words, "What?"

"I said I would resign. ”

This time, Gisele didn't speak, and after a while, she said calmly and coldly: "Come to the company, now pack up and come immediately!"

Jiang Ruo didn't dare to slack off, after all, she was only suspended and not resigned, and she was still her subordinate.

Jiang Ruo got up and washed up, and quickly put on light makeup, because he had slept too long recently, and his complexion had improved more than a little.

Because it was still early, Jiang Ruo warmed the milk and bread, and drove to the company after eating, and it was not even eleven o'clock when he arrived.

When Jiang Ruo got out of the elevator, he met Zhong Shen, who was just about to go down.

Zhong Shen seemed surprised to see her, and Jiang Ruo still greeted him lightly as before: "Mr. Zhong." ”

Zhong Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "Reinstated?"

"No, let's take care of something. Jiang Ruo didn't say much, Zhong Shen was in a fog, she didn't explain again, and said directly: "Goodbye, Mr. Zhong." ”

Before the elevator door closed, Zhong Shen suddenly stretched out his hand, the elevator door opened, and he walked out, "Jiang Ruo." ”

Jiang Ruo turned to look at him: "Is there anything else with Mr. Zhong?"

"You came this time because of Du Shengyi's incident?"

"Yes. Jiang Ruo replied very simply.

Zhong Shen lowered his head and didn't know what to think, from time to time, he raised his head and wanted to speak, and paused before asking, "What are your plans?"

Jiang Ruo didn't know what he meant, "What are you going to do?"

Zhong Shen looked into her eyes and said, "Go or stay, you must have weighed it in your heart." ”

"If you can stay, you will stay, and if you can't stay, you will leave. Jiang Ruo really thinks the same way, if she is really forced to apologize, she is willing to resign.

Zhong Shen thought for a while and asked her, "Do you have any intention of coming to me to do things?"

It means that he can protect her from this crisis and help her change positions.

Jiang Ruowan'er, then his smile faded, and he met his eyes and asked directly: "Mr. Zhong values me so much, is it because of Lu Huaishen?"

The smile on Zhong Shen's face froze a little.
