Chapter Eighty-Seven: The First Negotiation Was Successful
While the three of them were talking, a dog blocked their way, this dog was not tall or strong, but it was fierce, it did not bark loudly at the sight of strangers like other dogs, it just stared at you with a pair of fierce eyes, and then bared its sharp teeth and let out a low growl. It doesn't behave like a dog at all, but like a wolf cub that hasn't fully grown up.
"This little cub is quite fierce, see if I don't clean it up. The driver Xiao Wang was going to clean up this fierce dog, Zhang Xiaoxiao was most afraid of dogs, she hid behind Zhou Fei, and looked at the puppy timidly, as if what she was in front of was not a puppy that was not as high as her knees, but a tall and strong monster.
"Don't touch it, we are guests, how can we touch the owner's pet? Besides, we have to ask others for this time, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog." Zhou Fei stopped the driver Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang was too impulsive, if he went up today and just kicked Li Yongxin's pet, they would have nothing to talk about, and the day of several of them would be a waste. It's a couple of hours to drive from the company, and it's not worth it if they make a trip for nothing. Although they didn't have much to gain today, they couldn't return in vain, at least they had to meet Li Yongxin's people, if Xiao Wang touched someone's pet, I'm afraid the owner wouldn't want to call them.
"What kind of dog is this! It's too scary to look at?" Zhang Xiaoxiao hid behind Zhou Fei, probably because she was afraid, her hand didn't know when it had grabbed Zhou Fei's arm.
"I don't know much about dogs, and this is the first time I've seen this dog, and it's more ferocious than other dogs. You see that it doesn't scream, just looks at you with a death-like look, which is enough to make people feel frightened, and that's not all, it still shows its sharp teeth, which makes people afraid to approach it easily. Zhou Fei thought it was special when he saw this dog for the first time, and when he took a closer look just now, this dog was really different from ordinary dogs, not only in appearance, but also because it gave people the feeling that it was not a dog, but a wolf.
"yes, you say, this dog is really not simple. ”
The driver, Xiao Wang, took a step back, but the dog took a step closer to them.
"This little thing really has to be inched in!" said the driver, Xiao Wang.
"We inadvertently broke into its territory, and it wanted to kick us out. Zhou Fei said to the drivers Xiao Wang and Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Then what should we do? We can't go back, right?" Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the first trouble they encountered was because a dog blocked the way, and the three of them couldn't do anything about it, there was no way to retreat, and they couldn't move on.
Of course, we can't hurt other people's pets, because robbing a dog will hurt the harmony and be bad for us. Now the only way is to wait, wait for someone to come out and rescue us!" Zhou Fei couldn't think of a good way to solve this embarrassing situation for a while, this was the first time he had encountered this situation.
The three of them kept holding on to the dog, and the dog did not dare to attack them, and they did not dare to continue walking.
Zhou Fei thought that someone would come out, but he didn't expect that the owner of the dog would not come out after holding each other for a long time, let alone the owner of the dog, not even a servant. Zhou Fei knew that the idea of counting on the dog owner was no longer good, and he had to change his approach.
"It's definitely not going to work, we have to do it differently. Zhang Xiaoxiao saw that the dog didn't have the slightest intention of letting them pass, and the dog owner didn't show up, so it was not a way for them to go on like this. Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't have this patience, and the more they gave in, the more aggressive the dog became, and she could see in the dog's face and eyes its contempt and disregard for them, and their stalemate would only increase its arrogance.
"Well, the three of us will run separately in a moment, so that it doesn't know who to chase, and as long as one of the three of us enters the house, it'll be fine. Zhou Fei decided to divide the troops into three ways, and the three of them couldn't fight a dog.
"After a while, Xiao Wang, you will run in the direction of the park, and if the dog chases you, you hide in the car, and it will be out of line. Xiao Zhang, you ran into the rape field next to you, the rape flowers are very high, it will definitely not be able to catch up with you, and you will be fine. I'll go straight to Mr. Li's house, in order to keep it from chasing me, you two have to run first, as long as it chases you, I can go in smoothly. Zhou Fei assigned the task, Zhang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wang looked at each other for a while, nodded, now they can only use this method, besides, Zhou Fei has important documents in his hand, and the two of them should take care of him.
"Then it's decided, I'll shout one, two, three, you run, don't look back, just run forward." ”
"One, two, three, run. Zhou Fei gave an order, and Zhang Xiaoxiao and the driver Xiao Wang ran away as planned. Zhang Xiaoxiao also shouted loudly while running, like a soldier charging into battle, the driver Xiao Wang was not as exaggerated as Zhang Xiaoxiao, he just rushed forward with his head covered, like an athlete who participated in the 100-meter race. After Zhou Fei shouted "one, two, three", he silently said three times in his heart, and ran towards the villa.
Their method really worked at first, as soon as the drivers Xiao Wang and Zhang Xiaoxiao moved, the dog went to chase them, but after Zhou Fei ran away, the dog stopped chasing Xiao Wang and Zhang Xiaoxiao, and it turned around and began to chase Zhou Fei. As soon as the drivers Xiao Wang and Zhang Xiaoxiao saw that the dog was no longer chasing them, the two of them stood in the middle of the road to watch Zhou Fei and the dog race.
Zhou Fei never thought that the dog would chase him, it stands to reason that it would chase the driver Xiao Wang, but he didn't chase the driver Xiao Wang to chase him. At first, Zhou Fei didn't understand what was going on, but in the process of running, he figured out that the dog's duty was to protect the family, and he was the only one of the three of them who posed a threat to its home, and it was right to chase him. Just now he felt that it was not fair to let the driver Xiao Wang and Zhang Xiaoxiao run first, especially Zhang Xiaoxiao, after all, she was a girl, but now he doesn't think so, he saved them indirectly, and they should thank him.
Here Zhou Fei was chased by the dog, running out of breath, she hadn't exercised so vigorously for a long time, and she was really a little unbearable, Zhang Xiaoxiao and the driver Xiao Wang saw that the dog didn't come to chase them, but went to chase Zhou Fei who ran last, looking at Zhou Fei's usual appearance, and now being chased by the dog embarrassed, they laughed breathlessly.
Maybe it was Zhang Xiaoxiao's scream just now that the owner heard it, or maybe the owner happened to go out. When Zhou Fei ran to the iron gate outside the villa, Li Yongxin happened to come out of the gate, he scolded, and the dog obediently lay on the ground, sticking his cheek to the ground, very well-behaved, very docile, and completely different from what he did just now. Zhou Fei silently read in his heart: "What a strange dog." ”
"Didn't hurt you, did it?" Li Yongxin was much gentler than Zhou Fei imagined, in his subconscious, the people who lived in such big houses had strange tempers, different from the people they usually came into contact with. They usually come into contact with ordinary people, rarely come into contact with rich people, and they don't understand the life of the upper class.
"It didn't hurt me, but it scared me, I didn't expect it to be so ferocious. Zhou Fei was still a little frightened, and his anger did not go down, he looked at the dog that was now very docile, and its eyes were also a lot more charitable, not as fierce as just now.
Zhang Xiaoxiao and the driver Xiao Wang saw that someone came out, and they also came slowly from a distance, they also ran a little fiercely just now, and Zhang Xiaoxiao came wearing a skirt and high heels.
When Zhang Xiaoxiao and the driver Xiao Wang were about to walk in front of Zhou Fei and Li Yongxin, suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao's feet slipped, and the heels of her high heels fell off. Maybe she ran too hard just now, her shoes were broken, she just ran into the rape field, her white dress was stained with green juice, she looked a little embarrassed, and a little funny.
"I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble, it's a dereliction of duty, and I apologize to you. I don't usually have a lot of people in this place, so we don't discipline it strictly, I hope you can understand. Li Yongxin bowed to the three of them as he spoke, and out of politeness, the three of them returned the salute.
"Because of my fault, your clothes are dirty and your shoes are broken, so it stands to reason that I should have accompanied your clothes and shoes, but this place is too far from the city, I can only say sorry to you. If you don't dislike it, there are my daughter's clothes and shoes upstairs, and I see that you are about the same height as her, and you are about the same fat and thin, so you can change into her clothes first! My daughter has gone abroad, and she doesn't need clothes. I'll have someone wash your clothes for you!" Li Yongxin said to the embarrassed Zhang Xiaoxiao, and asked the servant to take Zhang Xiaoxiao's clothes to wash.
Zhang Xiaoxiao found out that she was embarrassed as soon as Li Yongxin said it, she went up to change into Li Yongxin's daughter's clothes, and found a pair of sneakers in her shoe cabinet to change into. Zhang Xiaoxiao saw that although these clothes and shoes were old, they were all famous brands, and compared with her own clothes, Li Yongxin's daughter lived a noble life. Every girl wants to be a princess, but there are too few people in this world who have the opportunity to be a princess. Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at herself in the mirror and smiled bitterly, yes, her life does not allow her to be a delicate princess. There is a photo of Li Yongxin's daughter's room in which she is a very delicate girl.
"I already know the purpose of your visit today, Mr. Zhou called me, and I also learned about some changes in the company through my own channels. I think this is a good thing, so that the company's development of talents is suitable to be the owner of the company, and the interests of our shareholders are not damaged, as for the matter between Mr. Guan and Mr. Bi, it is their housework, let them handle it themselves, and I am not an outsider to interfere. In addition, I have not been working in the company for many years, and there are some things that I don't understand, so I don't have the right to speak. You go back and tell Mr. Guan and let him do it, what he wants to do, there is no problem on my side, as long as it is conducive to the development of the company, I will support it, and I think other shareholders will also support it, and there is no shareholder who does not want the company to be good. Before Zhou Fei and the others could say what they were doing, Li Yongxin spoke his thoughts first, and it seemed that Zhou Xiangrui had already talked to Li Yongxin about it.
"I thank Mr. Guan for your cooperation, and I will bring your words to Mr. Guan. Zhou Fei didn't expect this trip to be so smooth, if it weren't for the delay for a while because of the dog, their trip would have been too easy.
Li Yongxin looked at the materials, didn't say anything, and signed his name directly. Zhou Fei put away the materials, and Zhang Xiaoxiao also came out after changing his clothes.
When Zhang Xiaoxiao came out, Li Yongxin kept staring at her, his eyes were kind, it was completely a father looking at his daughter, maybe Zhang Xiaoxiao put on his daughter's clothes, making him mistakenly think that his daughter came out of the room, so he would stare at Zhang Xiaoxiao, otherwise he would not stare at a girl so much, Li Yongxin is a Sven person, he knows that it is very impolite.
Zhou Fei and the driver Xiao Wang both found that Li Yongxin's state was a little wrong, of course they didn't know that Li Yongxin mistakenly regarded Zhang Xiaoxiao as his daughter, and thought that Li Yongxin was the kind of person whose eyes turned green when he saw a beautiful woman. Zhou Fei coughed softly, and Li Yongxin realized that he was a little out of shape, and he quickly adjusted himself to return to his normal state.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. Li Yongxin realized his gaffe, and he got up and apologized to Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"She put on my daughter's clothes, and I mistook her for my daughter, and that's when I lost my temper. My daughter has gone abroad, I haven't seen her for years, and these clothes are still the ones she bought many years ago, and I don't have a chance to wear them. Li Yongxin explained that the reason for his gaffe was because she missed her daughter too much, and she was indeed very sad when she spoke, and they believed that what he said was true.
"Since you miss your daughter so much, you can go and see her!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"You don't understand the situation, I have been divorced from my wife for many years, and the court awarded my daughter to my wife. Since the divorce, my wife took her to England and they haven't been back in all these years, and I haven't seen them again. Now, when I think of my daughter, I can only look at her pictures. Today, Xiao Zhang wears her clothes and is a little similar to my daughter, and I can't help but think of her, and I don't know if she has changed, will she suddenly think of me at some moment? Now, I don't expect her to be by my side all the time, I just hope that she will know that she still has a home here and a father who loves her and misses her. When Li Yongxin said these words, his eyes turned red, and he could clearly feel that he was old, and when he was old, he no longer pursued the things that he valued most when he was young, but began to cherish the things he ignored when he was young, and family and affection were those things that he had neglected.
"Why did you get divorced?" Zhou Fei asked curiously.
"When I was the same age as you, like you, I only pursued those things that were praised by the world, such as money, status, fame and fortune, so that I neglected the people closest to me, and over time, my relationship with them became indifferent, and finally I had to go my separate ways. "In the secular definition, Li Yongxin is a successful person, he has the status, money, fame and fortune that many people want to have, these things are beyond the reach of many people, and now he has them. But in the definition of the spiritual realm, he was a mess, and he didn't even have a home. What is home, if people are ships, home is harbor, if people are trees, home is soil, without home, there is no most basic support.
Zhou Fei and the three of them listened to Li Yongxin's story, and they felt very uncomfortable, there is no perfect thing in this world, God gives you something, and he will take away some things that originally belonged to you.
When they left, Zhang Xiaoxiao wanted to leave Li Yongxin's daughter's clothes and change them back into his own clothes, but Li Yongxin refused, Zhang Xiaoxiao reminded him of his daughter, and remembered some happy pieces, this dress was regarded as a gift he gave Zhang Xiaoxiao, although the clothes were worn by his daughter before, but the clothes were all new, and they were all famous brands.
"We were just talking about what success is, what is fairness, what happiness is. Although there is no specific definition of these things, I still think that everyone will have them, but the length of time is different. Zhou Fei said to Zhang Xiaoxiao and the driver Xiao Wang, maybe it was Li Yongxin's story that infected them, they didn't argue with Zhou Fei, they just thought about something silently.
When they came out, the dog was still at the door, but this time it was not fierce at all, its eyes were very meek, and it already regarded them as family.
