Chapter 209: It's worth it to meet him in this life
We agreed with Lele that when I gave birth to the baby in my belly, we would pick her up and live with us. The little girl was very happy to hear this, and kept asking us when we would be able to give birth to the baby.
Zhuang Yan was afraid of wronging me, so he originally wanted to start arranging the wedding banquet after going to work, but we are short of money now, and it takes a lot of expenses to hold a wedding banquet, so I mean that I don't need to deliberately spend this extra expense.
After hearing this, he was silent for a long time, and finally only frowned and sighed slightly.
After Zhuang Yan's original company successfully filed for bankruptcy, because the factory land was leased and there was no right to dispose of it, the relevant departments could only liquidate and dispose of the remaining fixed assets such as machinery.
In addition, there is still a part of the arrears owed to the suppliers, so although most of the debt has been settled, the remaining amount is still not to be underestimated. However, Zhuang Yan still refused to tell me the numbers truthfully.
Zhuang Yan works in an economic development zone close to the suburbs, and the company arranges housing near the city center. Not long after the establishment of this subsidiary, the company has less than 20 members, and Zhuang Yan's title is general manager.
The subsidiary has no business at present, and the affiliated factory has only been acquired for three months, but most of the three months have been suspended to wait for orders. Therefore, when Zhuang Yan took over, the situation was quite grim.
He was poached, which is equivalent to needing to start from scratch and develop a country for the subsidiary.
The customer Zhuang Yan knew introduced him to this profession not to trick him, that person knew Zhuang Yan's strength, with Zhuang Yan's current predicament, it would not be possible to directly serve as the leader of a mature company, after all, there were several people behind him who did not want Zhuang Yan to have a good time. And accepting this subsidiary, which no one is optimistic about, is a little bitter, but it is also easy to make those who are high above relax their vigilance.
These are Zhuang Yan's analyses for me, although they make a lot of sense, but I always feel that he is comforting me, or that he is comforting himself.
He used to be in the automotive industry, and most of the precision parts with surface electroplating need to be used in auto parts to enhance the gloss, rust resistance or corrosion resistance of some parts. Zhuang Yan is now in charge of the subsidiary, which is equivalent to the superior supplier of his previous company, which produces those precision parts.
So after he arrived at the subsidiary, it only took him one day to understand everything thoroughly.
The place where I work is only a five-minute walk from the apartment, and there are shopping malls, vegetable markets, and food courts nearby...... It is said that the apartment we live in is the most popular apartment in the city, so I think Zhuang Yan and his company attach great importance to him, at least the housing and car are very good.
In fact, life was very trivial at the beginning, we slowly integrated into our new jobs during the day, cooked and ate together after work, and then went to the mall after dinner to buy some small items to decorate the new apartment.
After we took the wedding photos at that time, the photo studio stayed up late to work, and the next day we came to the subsidiary after receiving the certificate, we directly brought the wedding photos with us.
Zhuang Yan and I hung a 30-inch wedding photo on the head of the bed in the master bedroom very tackyly, a two-bedroom apartment, finely decorated, brighter than the small home we lived in before. The apartment is very new, and I have just received the certificate with Zhuang Yan, so I always subconsciously feel that this apartment is like our new house, so I am very careful when dressing it up.
Zhuang Yan was very spoiled and tossed me around, when we went to the flower and bird market, he saw that I had been looking at flowers and plants, and bought a few pots despite my objections. Passing by a place that sells goldfish, he buys goldfish and fish tanks again.
He said that in the future, when he talks about business, he will inevitably have to travel a lot, and he can keep some animals and plants at home to accompany me on his behalf.
I changed my job from a consultant to an administrative scrivener, but because I was new to administration and I was pregnant, I didn't do much work on a regular basis.
Two months after joining the company, the head office issued an English document for each branch to circulate and study, and our personnel manager complained with a headache on the spot.
The personnel manager's surname is Gu, female, ten years older than me, he is very kind, and he is very talkative: "Xiao Zhang, I remember that you used to be an English major, so you will translate this document......
Zhang Wenyu is a veteran employee of the personnel department and has been working for three years.
As soon as she heard this, her eyes rolled, and she immediately pursed her mouth with a sad face: "Sister Gu, where is my English good, I haven't used it since I graduated, and I have already returned it to the teacher." Her eyes quickly wandered around the office, there were only four people in the personnel department plus me, and she finally fixed her eyes on my face, "Sister Gu, isn't our new little sister Shen Xi just graduated? Her English must not have been forgotten, let her translate." ”
Manager Gu glanced at Zhang Wenyu: "Go, go, Shen Xi is a pregnant woman with a big belly, and you are embarrassed." ”
Manager Gu usually takes good care of me, and I feel that it is not only because I am pregnant, but probably because Jiang Yang has said hello to her. When I first came, everyone was talking about that I must have been pregnant before graduation, because very few people have a big belly as soon as they come, so there are still people gossiping about my background, and when the discussion is too strong, Manager Gu will come forward to stop it.
Seeing the unhappiness flashing on Zhang Wenyu's face, I quickly took the initiative to take over the translation work. The fact that I received special care because I was pregnant has made everyone prejudice me, especially Zhang Wenyu in the same department. Anyway, I don't usually have much work, so translating materials can be regarded as consolidating my English by the way.
Manager Gu saw that I didn't shirk, and after a few polite words, he still happily sent the document to my work mailbox.
I read two sentences, and most of them were not difficult, so I was a little relieved.
Didn't I read a lot of English literature in order to get closer to Zhuang Yan in school? During that time, my English level improved by leaps and bounds, but fortunately, I haven't regressed until now.
On that Friday, Manager Gu asked me to finish the translation next Friday, which was more than enough time for a week.
In the past, when I got off work, either Zhuang Yan would pick me up, or I would walk home by myself. Because Zhuang Yan didn't let me go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with my stomach up, he usually did these trivial things.
Manager Gu is a single aristocrat, and she likes to date friends after work, but she didn't get together that day. I was very passive in making friends, so I hardly spent time with my colleagues after work, and because I was pregnant, they didn't invite me again after just a few polite words.
So, after knowing each other for two months, we found out that we actually commuted to and from work, and we both lived in the same community.
I told Zhuang Yan that there was no need to rush back to buy vegetables tonight, and I went to the vegetable market with Manager Gu.
After hanging up the phone, I found that Manager Gu was staring at me with envy: "Shen Xi, your husband must be very good to you, whether a woman is happy or not, you can see it from her eyes." ”
I was overjoyed: "Well, he's very nice. It's worth it to meet him in this life. I always felt that I must have done a lot of good things in my last life, which is why I was so lucky to be with him in this life. ”
"Tut-tut, I'm so envious. "Don't look at the manager Gu is thirty-three, usually very girly, "Shen Xi, I live alone, I'm too lazy to cook, I'll go to your house tonight to eat? Now that the good men are extinct, I have to ask your husband if he has a brother like him and introduce me to one. ”
"Well, I feel honored to have the manager here. "Zhuang Yan didn't want me to go to work, but he didn't usually have time to accompany me, so he felt that going to work would relieve my loneliness. He has always encouraged me to make more friends, and of course he will not mind letting Manager Gu go to his house for dinner.
Sure enough, after I messaged him about it, he replied with a smile: Okay, make a few more friends you can talk to, that's good.
When we went back after buying groceries, Manager Gu kept muttering, "Huh, the house I rented for a friend two months ago is also in this building...... What a coincidence on the eighth floor...... Uh, your house is 801? Isn't this the one I helped rent?"
"This is the housing provided by my husband's company, manager, are you not mistaken?Why did you help rent it?" I was confused, after all, Manager Gu didn't need to make such a joke with me.
Manager Gu saw that I was at a loss, so he told me what happened, and in the early morning of one day more than two months ago, a friend of hers in Beijing called her, urging her to help rent a house the next day, and also made various requests. Her friend told her that in fact, the house had been rented before, and it was not bad, but in the suburbs, she didn't know what was going on, and she was suddenly told that it couldn't be done, and she had to change to the city as soon as possible.
Manager Gu hurriedly looked for an agent to look at the house the next day, and heard that the apartment I live in with Zhuang Yan has already been rented out, but her friend is willing to pay more rent, so the agent rents the house to her instead.
"Why did your friend suddenly want to change houses?" my heart was pounding, although Manager Gu couldn't remember the specific time, but I compared it a little, and I always felt that the night she was urged to help by her friend was the night when Jiang Yang pretended to be drunk.
What did he do that night? mysterious, but it was all for our good.
When Manager Gu went to the kitchen with the dishes, I received a strange phone call.
"Miss Shen Xishen, I'm Qin Shoucheng. This is the first time he has taken the initiative to call me, "I don't have Zhuang Yan's number, please transfer a message to him, my son has been found, Zhuang Yan's sister is currently missing, I will continue to help find it." What he promised at the beginning, please be sure to keep his promise. ”
During this time, Zhuang Yan would wait for Qin Shoucheng to call almost every day, and neither of us changed our numbers, but only changed our package. So Qin Shoucheng asked people to inquire a little to get Zhuang Yan's number, but he didn't, but contacted me and asked me to convey it.
This made me wonder a little bit, but I didn't dare to ask, "Okay, thank you." ”
After Zhuang Yan went home and listened to my retelling, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spit out three words from between his teeth: "Old fox." ”
