Chapter 339: Knowing the world but not the world
Zhou Wei was very busy, coaxed Chang An for a while, was interrupted by the phone, and soon the following people came to report to work.
Chang An felt that it was not interesting for him to stay here, so he went out with his bag.
There is only one office on the top floor, she took the elevator down, and asked about the floor of Ye Li's office, that floor in addition to the marketing department also has a marketing department and an administrative department, and the directors of each department have independent offices, and the rest of the employees are sitting in the Chase room, and the marketing department is just in the innermost position, so that Chang An needs to go through a whole floor to find Ye Li, and naturally receives a lot of attention.
From the previous incident exposed on the Internet to the sensational press conference a week ago, Rongbang should have known Chang An from top to bottom.
Whispering, talking in private, everyone didn't dare to look blatantly, but they were secretly looking out in the cubicle.
Fortunately, Chang An is not used to seeing it, she is indifferent, her demeanor is calm, and if she accidentally bumps into the sight of peeking over, she can still smile and nod to say hello.
Just like that, I brought my own hot spots all the way to the area where the marketing department worked.
"Mrs. Zhou!" The first person to see her was the little assistant who also participated in the press conference before, "Why are you here?"
The assistant took the initiative to come forward to say hello.
Chang An asked, "I came to find you Manager Ye, is she there?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take you there!"
The little assistant diligently led the way for Chang An, and led her to the door of Ye Li's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
"Manager Ye. ”
Ye Li, who was originally looking down to deal with things, raised her head suddenly when she heard the voice, her expression was obviously surprised.
"Mrs. Zhou, it's you, please come in!" she got up from her chair.
Chang An entered and looked around, "Sorry, did it disturb your work?"
"No, of course not, sit first. He greeted Chang An very warmly and sat down, "Tea or coffee?"
"Don't bother, I'll come and say hello to you and leave. ”
"It's okay, I'm not busy today!" he told his assistant to go out and make coffee.
The assistant opened the door and went out, and as soon as he left the office, he was dragged aside by several gossip colleagues waiting outside.
"Hey, the one who went in just now is Mr. Zhou's wife?"
"Well, our hostess. ”
"What's the matter with her coming to find Manager Ye?"
"How do I know. ”
"You weren't in there!"
"But she didn't say anything, maybe she just came to play, okay, don't block the door, you can hear it inside." ”
"Shhh
"I'm going to make coffee, you guys hurry up!" the assistant beckoned to rush people, and three or four gossip female colleagues suppressed their voices and dispersed, and each returned to the front of the computer to open the small group that usually chatted.
Female employee A: "I feel like she looks pretty ordinary!"
Employee B: "yes, I think I think too, and I don't seem to have any figure!"
Female employee C: "Visually inspect cup A, I bet on a pack of spicy strips, at most not more than B." ”
Female employee D: "But I think I have a good temperament, and it looks like it's easy to get along with, and there's no arrogance." ”
Female employee C: "It's impossible to say something as abstract as temperament, and it can't be eaten." ”
Female employee D: "But have you noticed, she seems to be without makeup, and she was also without makeup at the press conference last time, and it is already very good to be able to do this without makeup." ”
Female employee B: "It's the same, it looks white and clean, the skin base should be good, how old are you?"
Employee A: "Twenty-five six?"
Female employee B: "More than that, she seems to be a few years younger than our Mr. Zhou, both of them have been married for so many years, and it should be at least 28 according to the time." ”
Female employee C: "Tsk, if it's really past 28, it's good to be able to maintain it like this." ”
Female employee B: "Well, it's not because she hasn't given birth to a child, but a woman who hasn't given birth is different. ”
Employee A: "Hey, speaking of children, I heard the other day that she can't give birth?"
Employee C: "Really?"
Female employee A: "It should be true, otherwise you see that she and Mr. Zhou have been married for so many years, and they will have a long time to be born." ”
Employee B: "But didn't you drop one when you kidnapped me before?" ”
Employee A: "Hell, otherwise she would have adopted a child for no reason." ”
Female employee D: "That's right, it's really possible that you won't be able to give birth to something you say, otherwise Mr. Zhou's family will have a big business, and everyone else will already have a litter." ”
Female employee A: "A litter is an exaggeration, but at least there has to be a successor, can't it all be cheaper for the adopted little girl?"
Female employee D: "Ha, that's a little girl's life!"
Female employee B: "Envy!"
Female employee C: "You can't envy it, but I think ha, our general conditions are so good, rich and handsome, and you're worried that there will be no woman to give birth to him......?"
Female employee D: "You fart, our Mr. Zhou is affectionate and single-minded, and he shouldn't be messing around outside!"
Female employee A: "That's because you're too young, you didn't know it in the early years, right? Mr. Zhou is a well-known flower in the circle..."
The small group is still chatting, the content is gradually boundless, the privacy of the employee gossip about the boss in private has always been the most energetic, from Chang An's net worth background to the romantic debt that Zhou Wei caused outside a few years ago, and in the office across the wall, Chang An sat on the soft chair, and the little assistant had already brought the coffee in.
"Why do you have time to come here today?"
Chang An would definitely not say that Zhou Wei called her here to sign the share book.
"I walked here in the morning, and when I passed by, I came over to have a meal with him. ”
Needless to say, Ye Li smiled, "Is Italy so fun?"
"Not bad. ”
"It's very good, Mr. Zhou basically goes there once a year, which makes me itch, I don't know what attracts him there to go repeatedly. ”
Probably because of the press conference, the two have also "fought side by side", so Ye Li talked to Chang An at this time without the unfamiliar politeness before.
Chang An pursed her lips and took a sip of coffee, she didn't come here to pull her parents, she had other purposes.
"By the way, there's something for you!"
She pulled out the brown cardboard box from her bag, it was ordinary, with a silver-gray ribbon tied around it.
"What?"
Ye Li generously took the box, tore open the ribbon, and opened it to see a small card wallet lying inside.
"Sent to me?"
"I made it while wandering around Italy and brought it back for you to play with. ”
Ye Li was surprised, "You made this with your own hands?"
"Yes, but there is a craftsman in the store to teach you. ”
"Oh my God, you're amazing!" Ye Li's words came from the bottom of her heart, without any flattery in it, she took out the bag and looked at it twice, opened and closed it, and then found a small mystery: "Ah, there is my name in it!"
The back of the flip was embossed with the letters "YL", which is the English abbreviation of her name, and this little mystery made Ye Li really happy, or more of a feeling and moved.
She knew Chang An's intention to suddenly give her a small card bag, probably to thank her for her hard work in organizing the press conference before, she remembered this feeling, so she prepared this gift, but she didn't perfunctory buy a random thing to pass away, but did spend time and effort to prepare, so that Ye Li had a sense of importance that was fully respected and grateful.
Ye Li has been in this position for nearly twenty years, and she has seen too many people of all walks of life and personalities, and Chang An is a woman she rarely likes.
Because she knows the world but is not sophisticated, tastes suffering without resentment, is gentle and tenacious, these contradictions constitute her preciousness.
That's why she understands why Zhou Wei is so attracted to her.
"The letters are pressed by machine, and the rest of the place is hand-sewn, and I used to do a few when I was studying in England, and the level was not good, and it was even more rusty to do it after so many years, so you see, the thread here is not sewn evenly, don't mind. ”
She always speaks very comfortably.
Ye Li smiled and put the bag back into the box and hugged her hand, "How can you mind, I like it very much, I have a heart." ”
The two chatted for a while, and Chang An's affairs were finished, so it was inconvenient to disturb, so they said hello and left Ye Li's office.
She didn't go upstairs to find Zhou Yan again, knowing that he was busy, she only sent a >
Zhou Yi was really busy at the time, and it took more than half an hour before he saw the WeChat, and Chang An had already arrived home at that time, and was calling Chang Jiahui on the sofa.
She told Chang Jiahui about Zhou Xian's transfer of the house, this is good, there was a loud voice in a high decibel voice for half a minute, and Chang An felt that his ears were going to be deaf.
After half a salary, Chang Jiahui finally regained a little reason, but said: "No, you can't ask for a house, it's useless!"
Chang An: "......"
Chang Jiahui: "But don't think it's a pity to think about it, that's Jardine, now the average price is more than 40,000 square meters, even if the set my brother-in-law gave me is only two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it will be 300 hundreds of thousands of dollars at will, ahhhhhh......hhhhhh What to do, it's really tempting!"
Chang An: "......"
Chang Jiahui went back and forth in the tormented struggle, and Chang An listened patiently for nearly ten minutes.
"Jiahui, he will give it to you, it will be our wedding gift for you!"
"But your casual gift is too scary. ”
"Then did you treat me as a sister?"
“……”
"The eldest sister is like a mother, it is considered a dowry given to you by your mother's family, will you feel a lot more at ease if you think so?"
Chang An gave full play to her eloquence, and it took ten minutes to finally get Chang Jiahui through, she promised to go to Xu Nan tomorrow, but before the phone hung up for five minutes, Wei Suying suddenly called again.
Wei Suying thanked Chang An for her thoughtfulness and Zhou Xian's generosity, but she was resolute and Chang Jiahui couldn't accept this house.
Chang An knows Wei Suying's character, she seems to be gentle and kind, but she is actually very resolute in her bones.
"Aunt Ying, I know what you mean, but you really don't have to think about it, I just want to make Jiahui easier, although we are not sisters in blood, but the relationship is no worse than that of sisters over the years, maybe in your eyes it is a house, you have to calculate the value of her amount, but in my eyes, I just want to give Jiahui a home, just like the feeling that you have given me a home for so many years!"
It was the last sentence that moved Wei Suying, or rather, she didn't have any room for refutation, and finally accepted it.
"I thank you and Ah Yan for Jiahui, and I took Ah Yan back to Fengli for dinner. ”
"Yes, definitely!"
Before hanging up the phone, Wei Suying's voice was already a little hoarse, Chang An guessed that she was probably crying, this woman who had never shed a single tear when Chang Wangde was down, when she was seriously ill, but because of Chang An's short words, she had a crying voice.
On the same day, Zhou Wei signed an entrustment agreement with Fang Law Firm, entrusting him to handle the case of Zhenbang Investigation Company's malicious disclosure of others' privacy, and the lawyer's letter was sent to the other party on the second day.
Previously, Zhenbang Investigation Company was led by Tian Jiaqi and paid by Liu Shulan, with the purpose of investigating Chang An's whereabouts and related experiences in the past three years.
Zhenbang investigation company also lived up to the trust, and soon found out what happened in Chang'an in the past three years, according to the previous agreement with Liu Shulan, Zhenbang has fulfilled the contract, but unfortunately one of the "agents" in charge of this investigation work The ghost was confused, and during the investigation, he already knew Chang An's identity, so he resold all the first-hand information he found to the media at a high price, wanting to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big storm on the Internet, and it was too late for him to come back to his senses, Chang An's information and photos had already flown all over the Internet.
Fang Law Firm handled the case in a high-profile manner in accordance with Zhou Wei's request, and Zhenbang was forced to send a public apology letter on the Internet the next day, in which he frankly admitted that some of the content of what he had said online before was not true, and specifically explained that there was no ambiguous relationship between Chang An and Ding Shouquan.
In the end, Zhenbang was convicted of defamation and intentional defamation, both of which can only be regarded as civil crimes, and in the end Zhenbang was fined 5,000 yuan, and the "detective" who resold Chang'an's information had to be detained for 15 days.
In terms of the final result, the punishment is too light and unfair to Chang'an, and Zhou Wei used one of the top law firms in China to fight this big civil case, which is a bit overkill, but people who know the inside story in private can understand it, Zhou Wei's move not only punished Zhenbang, but also slapped Liu Shulan and Tian Jiaqi in the face.
However, this case caused a stir on the Internet, but Chang An, as one of the parties, did not care at all.
In those days, Zhou Yan found a kindergarten for Xiaozhi.
He said that Xiaozhi did not have any English foundation, and it was not suitable for him to enter a bilingual kindergarten, so he found someone to arrange for him to enter a kindergarten near Changhe.
The kindergarten is public, but it accepts children who are either rich or expensive, but it is relatively low-key.
Chang An thought about it and felt that Zhou Wei's arrangement seemed more reasonable.
Two days later, Xiaozhi enrolled in school directly, transferred to the class, and started reading from middle school, usually going to school normally from Monday to Friday, and Chang An arranged a few off-campus tutoring classes for her in other spare time, not pure learning classes, there are dance, painting, and English.
Yunling is highly competitive, and education is still at the forefront in China, so many local children have begun to learn all kinds of martial arts during kindergarten, and they can't wait to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and Chang An asked Xiaozhi to learn these in the hope that she will catch up with the distance that has fallen in the past few years, and also consider the promotion of young children to primary school in two years.
