Xing Fang asked very suddenly, and his tone was not very polite, He Xiao frowned and said, "Other people are calling nonsense, in fact, I have only done a few small projects." โ
"Before we met, I thought you were a very powerful person, but now it looks like that's just that. Xing Fang said.
Her words were a little arrogant, and I frowned secretly.
He Xiao was not angry, smiled and asked, "Yes, so now this project needs your help." โ
I was amazed that he could say such a thing. He Xiao has always been a proud person and has few words. What's wrong today, let Xing Fang belittle him so much, but he didn't care at all.
Xing Fang smiled and said impatiently: "Then so be it, you buy normally, and I'll take care of the problem." โ
The tone of this voice is so loud that I can't get used to it, if it weren't for Luo Xiaotian's face, I'd rather not do this project and never talk to her anymore.
A few of us had a meal and then dispersed, and the meal was not going well. Gu Yixiao and I were both angry enough, but He Xiao was unusually calm.
Coming out of this restaurant, I calculated the jet lag and couldn't help but call Luo Xiaotian.
"He Xiao, thank you. "I mean it.
He waved his hand: "What do you see with me, your business is my business, not to mention that this is the person sent by your father, I put up with it." โ
I had the heart to say that I wouldn't do this project, but when I thought that they had already made a plan and that Gu Yixiao had invested a lot, I suddenly shut up again.
I sent He Xiao and Gu Yixiao away and drove home by myself.
Finally waited for the right time, I called Luo Xiaotian, probably because I was angry, I was a little angry: "Dad, how is that Xing Fang in front of you?"
"What's wrong?" he immediately realized that something was wrong, and his voice was slightly nervous.
"It's nothing, I just said He Xiao, as if she was the best in the world in this industry. I said.
"That's what she's like, she has a bad temper and good ability. I'll just talk about her. Luo Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard me like this.
I won't say anything more, and finally made it clear to Luo Xiaotian that I won't have any cooperation with Xing Fang in the future. Luo Xiaotian laughed on the phone and said, "Okay, you and her actually have many chances to meet." โ
I didn't speak again.
Xing Fang's ability is good, although she didn't come forward, she didn't know what she did in secret. The day after she came to Beijing, Si Jianlian's mouth was not so tight.
Three days later, the project was finally negotiated, and Gu Yixiao won Si Jianlian's car company at the price he wanted, and signed the contract at the same time.
After the dust settled, He Xiao praised Xing Fang sincerely: "My temper is very smelly, and my ability is very strong." โ
This was said in front of Xing Fang, she smiled and didn't speak.
Naturally, there was a celebration banquet in the evening, but unfortunately Xing Fang said that I had something to do and couldn't participate, so they left directly. I can only sigh in my heart, capable people are a little different from the same stinky temper.
However, before leaving, she walked generously to He Xiao and said, "Give me your phone number, and I can take you to do any projects in the future." โ
He Xiao was stunned by her, but he obediently left her a phone number.
All of these made me and Gu Yixiao stunned.
When Xing Fang was sent away, Gu Yixiao patted He Xiao's shoulder and said, "What's the matter, I surrendered to someone else's pomegranate skirt?"
"I just think this woman is quite interesting. He Xiao said, glanced at me and said, "Since she is not here, we don't have to worry about the taste of the southern comrades, what will we eat tonight?"
Gu Yixiao and I glanced at each other, and then we both laughed.
This is He Xiao's old stronghold, a French restaurant in a hutong near Dongdan. In particular, it is expensive, delicious and has a good environment.
When the three of us were having a good meal, Si Jianlian called me. I hesitated for a moment and said to the two of them, "Si Jianlian's, I'll go out and pick it up." โ
"Surely I was sneering at you. Gu Yi smiled and said, "It's best if you don't take it, otherwise it will affect your mood." โ
I thought about it for a moment and said, "No matter what, I won't be able to pick it up many times in the future." โ
There is an additional agreement in Gu Yixiao's acquisition contract, which is written about a private matter between me and Si Jianlian. It is written above with certainty what Si Jianlian can and cannot do. The terms he set did not affect the normal communication between Doubao and Si Jianlian, but also fully guaranteed that he could not harass me.
I admire this because there are so many details in the contract, even thicker than the acquisition of the main contract.
"Si Jianlian. I calmly answered the phone.
"Tao Ran, now that the contract has been signed, I have also got my share of the money, and the house is also mine, now when will you take your things away." Si Jianlian said unceremoniously.
I kind of want to laugh.
When he came to live with me, he was right. Now, I just didn't move my own things, and he just did. What's more, it is now less than three hours before the contract is signed.
"Okay, I'll move tomorrow. "I thought about it for a moment.
In this life, I don't want to owe anything to anyone, let alone something I owe Si Jianlian.
He didn't seem to be satisfied with my answer, and said, "Tao Ran, congratulations." Now, you and I are divorced, and you are still a heartthrob. People like Gu Yixiao are obsessed with you like this. Hehe, forget it, anyway, there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, I wish you all the best. โ
"Thank you. I said.
After signing the contract, he couldn't say anything else that went too far, so he could only say a few words to me sourly, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
The next day, I found a moving company. Because they are tailor-made moving services, I don't have to pack everything myself, they will sort it and put it in the designated place for you when they get there.
Standing in front of the house, I didn't know what it was like.
This house was bought after I was connected with Si Jianlian, and it took me a lot of effort to decorate and decorate, and all the furniture was hand-picked by me. Moreover, we have lived here for so many years, and this house has witnessed the birth and growth of our common hard work and the return of bean bags...... Now, I have to say goodbye.
Doubao was also very sad, and after saying a few words to Si Jianlian, he wilted, and after seeing the people from the moving company move the things in his room, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and the tears fell down.
I hugged him, trying to comfort him but didn't know how to speak.
Si Jian didn't even greet me head-on from beginning to end, and it seemed that he really hated me. Sheng Qingjin was not at home and went out with the child.
In such a big house, everything in it has a memory.
I emptied my personal belongings and left all my furniture behind.
Finally, after the car was loaded, I took one last look at the house, then picked up the bean bag and got into the car without hesitation.
Goodbye, this house!
Doubao sat next to me, and it was very quiet.
I don't know if my personality is called hypocrisy, driving the car and looking at the house farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, tears falling uncontrollably.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" As long as Doubao is by my side, he will always be the first person to notice my abnormality.
"Mom felt a little sad because we had lived in this house for too long, so letting it out like this was more about our own memories. "I don't know if he can understand it, he speaks wherever he wants, and he doesn't want to hide his emotions in front of him.
"I'm also a little sad. He said.
I tilted my head and glanced at the bean bag. His eyes were a little red, his mouth pursed slightly, and he looked unhappy.
Seeing him so cute, I suddenly laughed.
In fact, I don't need to be so sad, because no matter what happens, I have bean bags by my side, and a Gu smile who never leaves.
When I thought of the word "never give up", the unspeakable bitterness and sadness in my heart slowly disappeared, and was replaced by sweetness.
With such a toss, the time of the day passed.
The moving workers were busy until 10 o'clock in the evening, when everything was neatly placed in the designated place. I saw off the workers, locked the door myself, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In this life, half a life has passed, and a complete move can be regarded as a farewell.
Two days later, when Gu Yixiao came back from Shenzhen, he called me and asked me to pick him up at the airport, so I lined up and went over with the bean bag.
He waited about an hour before he came out.
When he saw us from afar, he immediately laughed. Then he quickened his pace, almost trotted to me, picked me up, and then spun me in a big circle before putting me down.
Doubao watched from the side, his eyes full of envy.
Gu Yixiao squatted down, gently scraped the tip of his nose, then picked him up and said, "Let's go, go to the car and take a look." โ
As he spoke, he magically pulled out a large, exquisitely packaged box from his tote bag.
When the bean bag was seen, his eyes lit up.
This is a set of Lego toys that he has been looking forward to for a long time, it is a large one, because it is a limited edition, I ran to several shopping malls in Beijing and didn't buy it, so he was very disappointed. This time, Gu Yixiao brought him back.
"How's it going?" I asked.
Gu Yixiao's face was full of uncontrollable laughter, and he couldn't help but kiss me on the face and said, "Things are clear, this time I bought Si Jianlian's company at this price, and I really made a lot of money." โ
"What's wrong, what's new?" I asked.
"When I acquired Si Jianlian's company, the main thing I looked at was the technology research and development department, and we have been doing team docking in the past two days. Because the money was in place, I used to send 50,000 yuan to each engineer, and then quickly figured out their real R&D progress. The focus of Si Jianlian's development is different from mine, and my side mainly starts from the speed and appearance of the driving experience, as well as the convenience of operation, and he mainly focuses on battery life. So it's a big addition for me. When he hit a bottleneck in R&D and stopped, it was a critical moment. Now the engineers of the two sides are working together, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the breakthrough will be made. If this time it succeeds, then our range should be the best on the market. Gu Yi said with a smile.
He spoke in a light tone, and he could see that he was happy.
However, after listening to his words, I was also happy.
All along, I was a little worried that Gu Yixiao was trying to get me rid of his company that Si Jianlian had taken over. Although my intellect told me that it couldn't be like this, I couldn't emotionally control myself thinking like this.
Now that it turns out that this is not the case, I am truly relieved.
I don't want others to sacrifice anything for me, even if it's Gu Yixiao, I don't want to.
"What about you, did the move go well?" he asked.
"Everything is fine, I just feel wronged, the other children are accompanied by their fathers, and I am the only one by his side. I said with some frustration.
As soon as my voice fell, Doubao immediately said, "No, there is Uncle Gu with me." โ
"Well, Mom said the wrong thing. "I'm busy.
Actually, I know, bean buns just don't want me to worry.
"Tao Ran, in fact, I think there is a ritual between me and you now. Gu Yixiao said suddenly.
The car suddenly fell silent because of his words.
Bean Bao couldn't even breathe lightly, and I could tell he had his ears pricked up.
Actually, he is very sensitive and careful now. His gesture told me that he didn't want me to marry again.
I pretended to think about it seriously and said, "I don't think it's time yet." โ
Doubao listened to my words and was obviously relaxed.
Gu Yixiao said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about this matter after this company is fully integrated into my side." I've been busy lately, so I don't think I'll spend much time with you. โ
"It's okay, I'll be busy too. I glanced at the bean bag and said.
Gu Yixiao strongly asked me to cook for him, and I agreed.
After arriving home, he played with bean bags in the living room, and Aunt Wang and I were busy in the kitchen, and after more than an hour, we finally got a hearty meal.
Everyone sat around a table and finished eating, and it was very late, and then there was cleaning up the kitchen or something.
I don't have to do this work now. However, I used to cook it too. When we were chatting in the living room, I looked at Aunt Wang busy in the kitchen, and suddenly felt that it was not easy to be a woman. Because 80% or 90% of the housework is undertaken by women, and now women have to earn money and take care of the family.
Gu Yixiao quietly moved to my side and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"
"Thinking about a day in the life of a stay-at-home mom. I said softly.
"Think about those years again?" he asked.
This topic is a bit sad because it is a social topic, and there is no solution but you have to face it.
"I'm also a little sentimental. Gu Yixiao's hand quietly put his hand around my waist from behind the cushion, leaned into my ear and said, "We are all busy, and we have less time to meet, and I am afraid that the relationship will fade." โ
"No, you're thinking too much. "I don't even want to say it.
"Only now did I understand that if you want to live a lifetime, the most important thing is to live ordinary. Gu Yi smiled thoughtfully at the bean bag sitting not far away and said, "There are not so many vigorous things in life, most of them are firewood, rice, oil and salt." After getting married, a careless person will be polished clean by life. โ
"Do you feel that way now?" I asked.
When I asked him this, I was also very apprehensive.
"No, I just miss you. However, because I have children, I have to be more careful not to teach bad children. Also, after we got back together this time, I felt that the bean bag became super sticky to you. Gu Yixiao said in a low voice.
"I also know that he probably doesn't feel safe now. "I looked at the bean bun and felt uncomfortable.
Gu Yixiao didn't say anything, tightened the hand around my waist and said, "If you have time, accompany him more, and I'll try to find you during working hours." โ
"You don't have to work anymore. I asked in a low voice.
It's obviously a question, but I said it so plainly, inexplicably a little more coquettish. Of course, I also heard that there was something wrong in my tone, and immediately stopped talking.
Gu Yixiao took advantage of the fact that the bean bag was not paying attention, and quickly kissed me on the face and said, "I want to work, and I want you, I will find a way to take care of it myself." โ
How to take care of it is just sacrificing your rest time.
I didn't say anything so disappointing, and leaned into his arms.
At this moment, Doubao suddenly turned back to me and said, "Mom, I want to go to bed, I want to listen to Mom's bedtime story." โ
"Okay, go up now, or wait a minute?" I sat up straight.
"Right now. He said.
"How about Uncle Gu tell you?" Gu Yixiao patted me lightly on the shoulder and said, "I have a lot of new stories." โ
"No, I just want my mother to tell me. Doubao said with a yawn.
I gave Gu Yixiao a look, and then pulled the bean bag upstairs. When he arrived in the room, he was well-behaved, and he closed his eyes while lying on the bed.
I picked up a book on the shelf and read it to him, and after more than ten minutes of talking, he fell asleep.
I stayed with him quietly for more than ten minutes, then turned off the lights and closed the door, and went downstairs gently.
As soon as he arrived downstairs, he was hugged by Gu Yixiao.
"It's finally down. He hugged me, ignoring Aunt Wang's side, and quickly kissed me on the face.
Aunt Wang pretended not to see it and quickly entered the room.
Gu Yixiao saw that there was no one in the living room, and then my hand said: "These days, I miss you very much, you think about it, if you don't see you for a day, it will be three autumns, and I have passed a few years now." โ
I looked at his still a little childish face at this time, smiled and said, "Then how did you spend the time when you couldn't find your way back at sea?"
He hugged me tightly and said, "I think about you." โ
"Gu Yixiao, in fact, the problems we are facing now are really big, but I can't be a little optimistic. I sighed and said something that was boring.
He smiled: "I know, what you said is that Doubao does not accept your remarriage now." โ
"Yes, when I married Duan Jingchen, he persuaded him. He felt that I needed someone to take care of me, and later I married Duan Jingchen. What I didn't expect was that we got divorced so soon. This incident hit the bean bag hard. Now, it's not that he doesn't accept you, but he doesn't accept the fact that I will marry someone else again. I said.
Whose child understands and knows too well what Doubao is thinking.
Gu Yixiao was also a little disappointed, but he adjusted quickly, and immediately said: "That's different, I still have a relationship with Doubao." Rest assured, I have the confidence to slowly get him to accept my life with him. In fact, it was not only the divorce between you and Duan Jingchen that stimulated him, but the child Si Jianlian had with someone else was also his younger brother, and this incident also hit him hard. โ
He was right.
However, these are facts, and I can't hide them from him.
Now, it's just a matter of slowly adjusting.
"Don't worry, maybe he'll be a little older and understand that. Gu smiled and comforted me.
That's all I can do.
Slow things down, first follow the trend and wait, and see how it develops on its own.
We hadn't seen each other for a few days, whether it was work or those things that weren't nutritious between the two of us, we talked endlessly. For fear of affecting the rest of the bean bag, we ran to the study that was not very decorated.
The study has only a few large bookshelves, two computer desks, and carpets on the floor.
After Duan Jingchen and I divorced, he didn't move anything else, except for the book.
The two of us lay on the carpet, with a pillow under our necks, looking at the stars through the glass, and chatting without saying a word.
"Tao Ran, I want to move all of Si Jianlian's companies to Beijing. He said, "That way I don't have to run on both sides, and it's easier to see you after work." โ
"Si Jianlian is in Beijing now, if you really do this, be careful what corners he digs in your company. I reminded.
He shook his head and said, "The people I use, he can't dig them." โ
That's right, Gu Yixiao's employees' salaries are 30% higher than those of other companies, so the personnel are very stable. In addition, there are some option dividend systems, in short, the longer you work with the company, the better the treatment. So no one leaves easily.
It's rare that the wind has been blowing in the last few days, the air is much better, and the stars can be seen a lot.
"Tao Ran, no matter where you are in the future, what you are doing, every night from half past ten to half past eleven, it will be mine, okay?" Gu Yixiao suddenly turned over and lay beside me.
His eyes sparkled at me, and he slowly came closer.
"My time is expensive, and I have to do it every day?" I asked.
"And I'll pay you for an hour?" he chuckled, his mouth nudgling into my ear and pecking lightly, "Say, how do you pay?"
The atmosphere was ambiguous, and I was warmed up.
"You're the one who charges by the hour. I turned my face away from his eyes.
"Okay, I'm charged by the hour. Every hour of the rest of my life will be yours, and I will receive a dollar an hour, do you want to?" he pinched my nose and asked softly.
"Gu Yixiao, your mouth is too powerful now. "I was so blushing at what he said.
He didn't say a word, and kissed him directly, passionate and domineering. I was lying on the carpet, but now I was pressed by him, and I didn't even have a chance to move.
What's more, Gu Yixiao's kiss is intoxicating and fascinating.
