066. Ask for help
Jiang Hua was a little surprised and asked, "Did he really say that?"
In fact, I was also a little insecure, at first I thought that Yi Jin was going to come to get in the way, after all, I robbed him of what he deserved, but now it seems that it is not, he seems to be really helping me, I can't figure out the current situation.
I said, "I don't know what Yi Jin thinks now. ”
Jiang Hua pondered for a while and said: "I don't know your brother very well, but now that he said so, then we will do it, and there is no better way to deal with it now, Cao Zhengde has always been hard bones, soft and hard, it is too difficult for you to bite." ”
I said, "You mean to believe in Yi Jin?"
Jiang Hua said: "If he doesn't help you, you can't do anything at all, since both ends are dead, why don't you choose the middle section?"
Yes, just like Jiang Hua said, since the two ends are dead, why not try the middle paragraph.
But I always felt that Yi Jin was so kind to help me, he is not like the kind of person who will repay his grievances with virtue.
But I didn't say anything, since Jiang Hua suggested so, then I can only do what he said.
After Jiang Hua sent me back to the apartment, he left, I sat at the dining table and ate slowly by myself, the servant was silently disturbed, the room was surprisingly quiet, I don't know why, but I was used to this quiet.
When I finished eating, the landline phone in the living room rang, and after the servant put down the rag in his hand, he quickly rushed over, picked up the phone, and she fed it. Then he looked sideways at me and said, "Miss Yi, I said I was looking for you." ”
I put down the chopsticks in my hand and thought to myself, what else will be the call at this time, is it not a work call? But Jiang Hua also knew that it was time to get off work, and he would not be so disrespectful, not to mention that we had just separated.
As I walked over, I whispered to the servant, "Male or female?"
The servant replied softly, "Woman." ”
I felt even more strange, after taking the phone from the servant's hand, as soon as I put it to my ear, Wu Ni's voice came from inside.
I was even more surprised. When even smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what kind of wind brought you here today." ”
But who knew that as soon as my words fell, Wu Ni scolded me directly on the other end of the phone, she said: "Yi Xiaofan? You are so good, where can I not stand you? Let you bite me so hard and refuse to let go? Last time you had a miscarriage, I won't say anything, and now you have always pushed your best friend to Yi Jin by such despicable means! Have you taken my sister-in-law in your eyes?! Do you know how to write the word shameless?!"
Wu Ni shot at me completely regardless of her demeanor, so that I instantly knew the meaning of her phone call, it turned out that she only realized it now, and Yi Jin was accompanying other women in China.
I don't know why she jumped off the wall in a hurry. I was so happy.
I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much of my ability, if I hadn't been to confirm my matter that day, I wouldn't have called you at all, but now you are asking the wrong person." ”
Wu Ni said, "What do you mean by that?"
I said: "I did want to lift my best friend up and squeeze you away before, but since you married my brother, I have never had this idea, and now it is even more, plus the miscarriage, it is not that I want to take revenge on you, or dump the blame on you, I have not been so cruel and sacrificed my own children." The person who designed me to kidnap, design me to have a miscarriage, and even pointed all the fingers at you was done by my good friend Zhao Xiaowen. ”
I thought about it, smiled and said, "Oh no, we're not good friends now." Like you, it's my enemy. ”
When Wu Ni heard my words, her tone instantly calmed down, and she said, "What did you say?"
I said: "Zhao Xiaowen has liked Yi Jin since she was a child, and now I am not surprised that she will do such a thing, I can only tell you so much, as for her recently, she is very favored by Yi Jin, you can do it yourself." ”
After I finished speaking, I was about to hang up the phone, and Wu Ni immediately said on the phone: "Wait." ”
My hand paused for a moment, Wu Ni seemed to come back to my senses until now, and she confirmed me again and asked: "You mean, the child was not deliberately given to me by you, but someone else, this person is your good friend Zhao Xiaowen?"
I said, "Yes." ”
Although Wu Ni escaped from this incident unharmed, it was obvious that a person like her was given a cold arrow from behind by an unrelated person, how could she give up.
After she confirmed with me, she just said very calmly: "I know." He hung up the phone directly.
I sat there and looked at the phone that had ended, thinking in my heart, temporarily igniting the war to Zhao Xiaowen's side, compared to my side, it will stop for a while, I sneered twice, put the phone on the table, and then continued to get up and go to the dining table to eat.
When I went to work the next day, I met Yu Manting, who was coming out of the elevator with some documents, and when she looked up and saw me, she walked towards me with a smile on her face, she greeted me with a smile and said, "Miss Yi, morning." ”
I asked, a little strangely, "Why are you here?"
After Yi Jin was in Denmark during this time, Yu Manting never appeared in the company again, and today is the first time I saw her.
Yu Manting said with a smile: "Mr. Yi came here to deal with some old documents, and he is on the thirtieth floor. ”
I said, "He's coming to the company too?"
Yu Manting said, "Yes, do you want to go up and say hello?"
As soon as Yu Manting's words fell, the elevator suddenly opened again at that moment, Yi Jinzheng walked out of the elevator wearing a black suit and some directors around him, and the two sides were talking in a low voice, followed by a large number of people.
When Yu Manting saw it, she immediately waved at him and said, "Mr. Yi!"
Yi Jin looked over when he heard Yu Manting's voice, and when he saw me. Didn't speak.
Instead, Yu Manting said to me, "Can you go over and say hello?"
I want to turn around and leave, but now it is obviously unrealistic, and now someone in the Yi family is rumored that I and Yi Jin are fighting for positions, and if I turn around and leave, it confirms those rumors.
I could only nod and follow Yu Manting over, and after arriving in front of Yi Jin, I carried my briefcase and shouted in a low voice: "Brother." ”
He glanced at me in my work clothes and asked gently, "Go to work?"
I said, "Yes." ”
He raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I'll take care of something." It's nothing to do with you, just go upstairs. ”
Hearing Yi Jin say this, I could only nod, smiled at those shareholders again, and walked towards the elevator with my bag.
Those shareholders followed behind Yi Jin and continued to walk outside.
When I turned around, I faintly heard those shareholders praising me with Yi Jin, saying that I had made great progress during this period of time, and I had a very independent posture.
When Yi Jin heard these words, he asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Is it?"
One of the shareholders who was with him said, "yes." Dealing with things is getting more and more presentable. ”
When Yi Jin heard this, he was a little relieved and said, "Well, it's a lot more mature." ”
I stood there and watched for a while, watching Yi Jin get into the car with those shareholders before I turned around and walked towards the elevator.
I don't know what position I have now, everyone always says a simple Miss Yi when they see me, which means that I don't have a position now, just like every newcomer who comes to work in the company, before he becomes a regular worker, he is a miscellaneous person.
Except for being a related household of the Yi family, the rest has not changed much.
Another day of boring work, I was alone in the office for a while, and then glanced at the frame on the table, Xiaoqi's smiling face was particularly innocent in the frame, I stroked my fingers on the contour of his face in the photo, inexplicably feeling a little tired.
While I was in a daze, the secretary walked in through the door and said that someone was looking for me.
I took my hand back from the frame, thinking that it was Yi's partner, so I asked the secretary to invite him in, but it was almost a minute after the secretary went out. Pushing the door in was a person I didn't even expect, Zhao Zhou?
When I got up from my chair, he looked at me with a smile on his face, and then carefully looked at his surroundings before he walked in, and I frowned and walked up and asked, "Why are you here?"
In my impression, we haven't seen each other since Zhao Weimei gave birth to a child, I thought we would never see each other again in our lives, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to come to me.
Zhao Zhou smiled at me and said, "I heard that you have joined Yi's duty, and it just so happens that our company and Yi's are currently on project, so I'll do something on the side." So drop by and see you. ”
When I heard him, I immediately led him to sit down, then got up and poured him a glass of water, and after handing it to him, I asked, "How are you doing?"
When Zhao Zhou faced me, he was not relaxed before, but was a little restrained, and even said a little nervously: "Let's go, anyway, there is nothing missing, everything has stabilized." ”
I thought about fucking death, I was originally responsible for this matter, but in the end I didn't even go to the funeral, I don't know why, I always have a sense of indebtedness to Zhaozhou.
I said, "Just stabilize it, the child is beautiful, right?"
Speaking of the child, Zhao Zhou finally had a sense of accomplishment as a father on his face, and he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "Okay, it's five months now, and it's as cute as Xiaoqi used to be." ”
Hearing him mention Xiaoqi, I smiled a little lonely and said, "That's good, when the child is pregnant, it is always difficult, and after birth, it will be the same every day." ”
Zhao Zhou noticed the loneliness on my face, he knew Xiao Qi's current situation, so he tried to ask: "How is Xiao Qi now?"
I shook my head a little bitterly and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for a long time, and he has rejected me since that time." ”
Zhao Zhou comforted me and said, "Don't worry, you are being treated now, and you will be fine." ”
I said, "I hope so." ”
Speaking of this, we all fell silent at the same time, and the silence was like a wall, blocked between us, and I found out that I was separated from Zhao Zhou, I didn't expect that people who had lived together for five years would be like this. Even the air revealed embarrassment.
I had nothing to say, "Would you like to eat something?" I have fruit here?"
Zhao Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, in fact, I'm today" He hesitated a little when he said this, and finally thought about it, he took out a document from his briefcase, he smiled slightly embarrassed and said: "Actually, I came to ask you for some help today." ”
I glanced at him and took a document from his hand, Zhao Zhou sat there and said with a smile: "That's the case, don't you Yi's have a new hotel project recently? I heard that we just need a contractor, and our company happens to have this business, so I came today just to ask you." Can you consider our side?"
I took a cursory look at the document he handed me, it was a resume of a new company, it should have just opened, and it didn't take much business at all.
I shared the papers, smiled and asked, "Did you run this new company?"
Zhao Zhou didn't expect to be seen by me, he was a little embarrassed and said: "You can see it, I opened a new one, but it's a small company, and there is no business, so so"
He didn't say what he said later, but I knew what it meant.
I said, "It stands to reason that no matter what kind of help you ask me for, I will help you, and the new hotel project you are talking about, if I guessed correctly, refers to the Long Bridge, right?"
Zhao Zhou immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's a project over there." ”
I said: "I just read the information of your company, it is indeed newly opened, but both the construction team and the design department are very perfect, but Zhaozhou is still too small, and the long bridge is a big project." I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, so why don't I give you another project?"
But who knew that at this time, another person came in outside the door, it was Zhao Weimei who was holding the child, she hurriedly walked over here, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, Xiaofan, although our company is small and has just started, but we have also taken over a big project, you should help, the villa-style hotel over there in Long Bridge." We must have done it perfectly. ”
I immediately understood that Zhao Zhou would sit here today and come to me, with my understanding of Zhao Zhou, no one will come to me if he asks for it, this time let him come to me, it should be Zhao Weimei's meaning.
I didn't expect her to have such a day, the day when she asked me, but she was very smart and knew how to use Zhao Zhou to take the lead first, and she knew that I would not refuse Zhao Zhou's help.
She didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even showed that she was as familiar with me as possible, and still smiled and said: "Xiao Fan, since you entered Yi's work, Zhao Zhou and I have always wanted to come and see you, but we are afraid that you will be busy, so we have only come here now." ”
She immediately coaxed the five-month-old child in her arms and said, "Liangliang, quickly, call Auntie." ”
The child was sleeping in her arms, but Zhao Weimei's words woke him up, and he opened his eyes and began to cry.
The voice was particularly harsh, and Zhao Weimei was hurriedly coaxing, making this place look like a vegetable market. Shocked, the secretary walked in, and reminded him with embarrassment that this floor should be kept quiet, otherwise it would affect the work of others.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhou was also a little embarrassed, and when he frowned and said to Zhao Weimei who was holding the child: "You go out first, I will discuss this matter with Xiaofan." ”
Zhao Weimei was worried about something, she said: "You are stupid, I'm afraid you can't speak clearly." ”
Zhao Zhou asked impatiently, "Then you say?"
Zhao Weimei knew that Zhao Zhou was a little angry, but she loved face and didn't dare to quarrel with Zhao Zhou in front of me, so she could only hold back the anger on her face. smiled at me and said, "That Xiaofan, I'll take the child out first, so I won't make any noise to you." ”
Since Zhao Weimei wants to maintain peace with me, I also smiled at her and said, "There are chairs outside, you can sit and rest." ”
She smiled and said, "Good, good." So he went out with the child in his arms.
After the two of us were left, Zhao Zhou was a little sorry and said, "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." ”
I said, "It's okay, the children are noisy at this time, you have to care for them more." ”
Zhao Zhou laughed dryly.
The child's crying outside is too loud, and staying here does affect other people's work, so I can only say to Zhao Zhou: "It's better to be like this." How about you keep this document and I'll discuss it with my secretary when I can, and if I can give it to you, I'll try to give you as much priority as possible?"
When Zhao Zhou heard my words, he immediately got up from the chair and said with a grateful face: "Xiaofan, thank you so much, I really don't want to trouble you this time, but I really encountered difficulties."
Some of him was incoherent, and some didn't even know what to say.
I smiled and said to him, "It's out of the way, I can help you as much as I can." ”
He was still saying thank you to me over and over again. I could only send him out of the office, and when Zhao Weimei saw us coming out, she immediately got up from her chair and looked at us.
I didn't go any further, but asked the secretary to send them, and the secretary led them into the elevator and went straight downstairs.
I stood at the door of the office for a moment, then turned around and walked in, and looked through the newly opened company in Zhaozhou again, to be honest, it was indeed too small. It's a pity that Zhao Weimei is a greedy person, whether she is a person at work or as a person, she likes to bite off a big piece in one bite, regardless of whether she can digest it or not.
But I owe Zhaozhou too much.
When Jiang Hua came, I showed him the information of Zhaozhou Company and asked him for his opinion.
Jiang Hua immediately shook his head and said, I don't recommend doing this, the scale of Zhaozhou Company is too small, and the risk we need to take is too great.
I didn't speak at the time, and Jiang Hua didn't pay much attention. Keep telling me about today's new knowledge.
Two days later, Zhao Zhou called again to ask how I was doing here, and I didn't refuse him, but asked him to wait a few more days for news.
After that, I personally went to the project department, found the project manager in charge of the project, and talked to him about the problem of handing over the project to Zhaozhou Company.
Xiang Quan, the new manager of the project department, frowned at the time after seeing the information about Zhaozhou company, but he knew my identity, although I am not currently in charge of Yi's, but obviously half of Yi's master, he didn't dare to offend, so he said that he would contact the company in Zhaozhou next week to talk about cooperation.
I breathed a sigh of relief, thanked me, and left the project with the file in my hand.
As soon as I returned to the office, Yi Jin made a phone call, and he asked about the Longbridge project to Zhaozhou, but I didn't expect that I would find the project manager, and this matter would reach him.
I was a little angry and asked, "Are you spying on me?"
Yi Jin said on the phone: "Xiang Quan was brought up by me, what do you say that others made this call for?"
I didn't speak.
Yi Jin said: "Let's have a meal together, I want to talk to you." ”
I said, "I know what you're going to talk to me about." I don't want to see you. ”
I'm about to hang up.
Yi Jin said on the phone: "Yi Xiaofan, don't mess around with me, I'll let the driver pick you up." ”
After he finished speaking, I hung up the phone first.
I glanced at it, was silent for a moment, and then dropped my phone on the table.
I didn't expect this to leak out so quickly, and from this it shows that I am completely under the control of others.
Until six o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Manting came to the company on time to pick me up, and I did not get on the bus on time, but worked from six o'clock to nine o'clock. After Yi Jin waited for several hours, I came down from the upper floor and left with Yu Manting.
When he got there, Yi Jin had been waiting there for a long time, but his patience had always been good, and he was not in a hurry, sitting there flipping through the menu in his hand.
When I arrived, he closed the menu and looked at me.
I explained: "The company was too busy, so it was a few hours late. ”
He didn't debunk my intentions, but smiled and said, "Sit down." ”
After Yu Manting pulled the chair away for me, I put down the bag in my hand and bent over to sit in, Yi Jin raised his hand and poured me a glass of juice, he said, "I want to eat something." ”
I said, "Whatever." ”
Yi Jin smiled and said, "It's not casual here. ”
At this time, the waiter came up and looked at us and asked if we wanted to order.
Yi Jin estimated that during the waiting time, he studied the menu here thoroughly, and didn't even flip through it, and said directly to the waiter: "A Italian corn cheese dumpling, not with mutton, with a seafood soup, then a dessert, vanilla flavor, and a truffle foie gras." ”
The waiter took note of what he had said, then picked up the menu on the table and said, "Wait a minute." With that, he lowered his head and retreated.
After ordering, Yi Jin looked at me and said, "The pasta here is braised well, do you want to try it?"
I said, "I'm not hungry, just eat whatever you want." ”
Yi Jin smiled and didn't speak, but after a while, he took the tableware out of the napkin for me and placed it on the white Western plate, he said: "Regarding the project of Long Bridge, I don't disagree with you to give Zhaozhou, but Fan Fan, let me ask you a question, why did Xiang Quan give me this call?"
I said, "Didn't you say you brought it up? If he doesn't call you, will he call me back?"
Yi Jin said: "Although I mentioned it, but we don't often contact each other, the reason why he gave me this phone number shows that there is a problem with your handling of this matter, and the problem is very serious, otherwise he would not have crossed the level to call me, do you understand what I mean?"
