Sitting in the office, Erman was still uneasy, even if asking Shutao to introduce her boyfriend was a solution to the financial situation, she knew in her heart that the odds of such a victory were slim. But now, no matter what, you have to give it a try.

She looks back on her career in the past few years, from a new employee to the current department leader, she has been working for three or five years, and she has accumulated some contacts and customers, but she has never really lived, she just uses work to numb herself, uses benefits to motivate herself, and uses the commission to tell herself that this life is worth it.

Many people use the word "workaholic" to describe her, with mixed reviews. But can she really accept this title in her heart?

Those who, like her, naturally like to flaunt themselves as workaholics, are mostly people who dare not face up to their poor emotions. At the beginning of their accession to the WTO, they devoted too much time and energy to their work, only to find that they could no longer buy back the beauty they had lost, and they had empty tickets, and what they had bought was a huge material satisfaction, and what they had lost was the right and interest that time gave life to enjoy the world.

So they pretend that they love work, but in fact, they are covering up a single life answer sheet that they have no choice but to work.

A few days ago, her father did something like that, she instantly realized the fragility of life, the preciousness of time, if you put all this energy and time into work, then the bits and pieces of the good years will be forgotten in the corner of time and space, no one will pick up.

Now, is it a job, or a client, or a couple of big insurance policies?

Neither!

It was her friends who helped her, her long-time friend Liu Lixuan, and her friend Qu Shutao, who she had just met, were all people who helped her at this juncture. However, she knew in her heart that friends were just friends, and they had no obligation to carry the burden of life for her.

What she needs now is just someone - the other half of her life, because she loves her, and is willing to hold hands with her to overcome all difficulties.

Thinking of this, she began to doubt herself again, suspecting that she had been in the insurance industry for so many years and had accepted so many people's insurance, but she only cared about buying a car and a house, but forgot to give her parents a critical illness medical insurance, and now she regrets thinking about it.

It's like disdaining to find a man to join hands with for a lifetime, thinking that in this way, you don't have to look at the man's face and live with a proud "feminist" attitude. I don't bother to buy an insurance policy, thinking that I can always be God's favorite, and live this life in peace.

At this time, Erman only regrets, no pride. She picked up her phone and dialed her mother's number: "Mom, what do you say about my dad's illness now?"

Mother Yang replied on the other end: "Oh, that's the case...... The hospital has already started treatment...... Everything will slowly get better. ”

"Then I won't go home for dinner after work today, so I made an appointment with a few friends. ”

Mother Yang said as if she had changed: "If you are too busy, you don't have to come back, you rest early, and come back to see your father when you are free on the weekend." ”

Erman hung up the phone with an "oh".

"How do you tell Xiao Man about this?" Mother Yang, who hung up the phone, was slighted at this time, and she didn't have any good intentions at first glance.

"Tell me the truth. Father Yang sighed, but he was relieved, feeling that his days were still long.

"How can we tell the truth, it's not time yet, and when we make money and make a fortune, it's not too late to tell Erman. ”

Father Yang was not killed by the misjudged cancer, but also angry with what Mother Yang did, so he said: "You think about making money and making money every day, have you ever considered Xiaoman's mood." ”

"Yo, now you blame me, if it weren't for your cancer, would I have this idea now? The moment I found out that you had cancer, I felt that the sky was going to fall, and I thought at that time, if I could make some money earlier, I wouldn't be overstretched and unable to afford it when the disaster came. ”

"But, haven't I been diagnosed with cancer now? People have accidentally made a mistake in the physical examination report, and now a few families are happy and a few are worried, and the old Tan of our unit is just like me at that time, so anxious to die. Now the unit also organizes donations for him, if I knew that the unit would organize donations, if I really have cancer, I wouldn't let you pull Xiao Man in and let her borrow money from Lixuan! You better get the money back and return it to Lixuan. ”

"What's more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money, there was no principal before, fishing did not have bait, and now there happens to be such a sum of money, just enough to make an investment, you see my friends, live a decent and generous life, not because they have invested in small loans, just because they are working class like us, how can they be as rich as now. When we put the money for a year and make money, we will take it out and pay it back to Lixuan, what are you afraid of!"

Father Yang frowned, not knowing what to do now, so he said, "Then you plan to keep keeping it a secret from Xiaoman that I am not sick?"

Mother Yang sighed: "I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf, so I can only do this first." ”

"But, how can you bear it? Let Xiao Man worry about me all day long, thinking about repaying debts, then she won't have the heart to find a boyfriend to talk about marriage, which son is willing to find a girl who is in debt?"

"Oh, who said that Erman is in debt, that is, he has a bit of a mortgage and a car loan, these are tangible and visible immovable assets! Moreover, our child is a daughter's family, not a man's body, and the dowry is given more or less depends on the sincerity of the man's gift! Besides, Xiaoman now thinks that he is in debt, and he should learn to be sensible, and he will no longer shout any 'singleness' like before, and never marry or anything for life. Wait for her head to be sharpened and drill into the Diamond King's fifth organization, and help you bring a golden beetle back sooner or later, and then say that your illness has been cured, isn't it a good thing to come in pairs. ”

Listening to Mother Yang's words, Father Yang was at a loss at this time, no matter how clever he usually was. He shook his head and said, "It's just that I have to play this double reed play with you during this time, and I feel tired to think about it." ”

"Yo, for the sake of their own interests, won't you give in a step? I am so good at serving you as a fake patient, and you cooperate with me to continue this play, what is the fatigue?"

"But I still have to go to work!"

"Erman also has to go to work, usually I am more considerate of her, let her come back on the weekend, and she won't wear a gang! You see, I didn't beg my grandmother to tell my grandfather to tell her not to come back, but now I let her go free, and it's too late for her to be happy. ”

Father Yang shook his head: "There is concern in this family, how can she be happy!"

"Slowly she'll get used to it. ”

"Speaking of tiger poison, tiger poison doesn't eat children, look at the two of us now, embarrassed and traitorous, in vain as fathers and mothers. ”

"Don't use these fake wise sayings to trap me, this is moral kidnapping, people should take a long-term view, we are also for Erman's good, we will make money in the future, isn't it all hers, don't feel guilty, I will take you to shave your hair next week." ”

When Father Yang heard this, his eyes opened wider than lychees, and he said, "Why do you want to shave your head?"

"Isn't it going to lose your hair if you have cancer, and you will lose your hair if you do chemotherapy, do a full set of dramas!"

"Then how can I meet people in the unit!"

"You just say that it's hot in August, and the whole bald head is refreshing and cool!"

After speaking, Mother Yang smiled with satisfaction, proud of her precise deployment. She got up and hummed a little tune and walked to the kitchen.

Erman came to meet with Shutao after work, looking at Shutao carrying large bags of brand-name paper bags, thinking about his current situation, Gu Ying felt miserable for himself.

When Shutao saw Erman, he sighed and said, "Hey, now I'm as relaxed as a swallow, yesterday I thought it was the end of the world, but now I feel like a great world again!"

"What's the matter? Didn't I hear you say that Ma Jun was missing, and now he has been found?" Erman asked.

Li Wen answered with a smile: "Shu Tao cried like that yesterday, she thought that Ma Jun was dead, she blamed that Zhao Youyou, lest the world be chaotic, and scare Shu Tao with yellow accents." ”

"That's right, you see that Zhao Youyou next time I see her, if I don't tear her to pieces, I won't be worthy of being the eldest lady of the Qu family. Shu Tao entered the dining room, put down the paper bags, and arranged for them to be seated.

"What the hell is going on?" Erman was still puzzled.

Reading Shutao mentioned so many things just now, and now she is out of breath, so Shulei came to tell Erman for her sister: "Just now we did the hair and the people there told us that Zhao Youyou also went there to get his hair a few days ago, and you also know that this barbershop is a gossip and scandal information station, these hairstylists are very bored and love to talk to customers, so as to get closer to the relationship and get close to the old people!" A hairstylist and Zhao Youyou had a good conversation, and Zhao Youyou shook out the matter of lying to Shutao that Ma Jun was dead, although Ma Jun has not been found yet, but Zhao Youyou's words have been confirmed, and they are completely out of nowhere!"

"I see. Erman breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How is the gallery doing?"

"It should be done in a few days, and then the painting will be finished after the painting!" Shu Tao said, flipping through the recipe.

"Who are you going to be there that day?" Erman asked with interest.

"The big businessmen are rich and rich, they are all senior art collectors. Shutao echoed.

"Are there any singles?"

"Hey, Sister Erman, you don't have a small appetite, let me introduce you to someone, you can put your mind on these oily fat, wise!" Shu Tao pretended to make a gesture of "admiration, admiration".

"Isn't it the old saying that Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, of course he must find such a man to be reliable. ”

Shu Tao smiled and said: "That's too good, Sister Erman is highly perceptive, and it is not false at all to say that this poor man is short-minded and has long horses." ”

Li Wendao: "But rich men, they are either too busy with work and have no time to accompany you, or they are in the morning and evening, and you have to guard against the junior!"

"Who said that there are rich men who do this, and poor men also think about having three wives and four concubines!" Shu Tao deliberately said to Shu Lei without any scruples.

"Anyway, I think it's tiring to fall in love with a rich man and get married. Li Wen pouted and said.

Shu Tao ordered the dishes, closed the menu and said, "Li Wen, these men are like clothes—I don't mean to change them often—what I want to say is: I'd rather wear a cashmere coat that is difficult to care for than a simple and convenient waterproof raincoat to go out to a banquet, because it can block the wind and cold on the road but can't support the style of the banquet." Sometimes simplicity is actually simple, but convenience is casual! Do you understand?"

Erman sometimes admires Qu Shutao's whimsical fashion theory, which is vividly integrated with the world, and collects her language into a book, I am afraid it will also be a good "Women's Love Bible".

Li Wen was a little aggrieved, so he said: "Then if your beloved runs more than a dozen streets to buy soy milk fritters for you, don't you feel happy?"

"We seem to have discussed this before, and you seem to have asked me before, have I never experienced the happiness of two people drinking a bowl of porridge under the same roof? I can tell you now with certainty: I-no-yes! You know, I'm this kind of high-end goods, I'd rather be itchy in a Maserati than cool on a motorcycle, hehehe......" Shutao grinned, dragged the words "I don't" for a long time, and then laughed at the description he uttered. Besides, you're about to go to work at Shangke, it's time to understand some truths, do you think many people in the fashion industry are willing to marry a man who runs dozens of streets to buy soy milk fritters for themselves? They prefer to go on a yacht alone, eat French food, go shopping, and women say these things just to cover up their vulgar desires. Just like Ma Jun, I feel happy to take me to eat at a roadside stall, because behind him is a Porsche, and I feel embarrassed when a poor man asks me to eat at this kind of restaurant, because he can't afford to pay for it!"

Erman smiled, Shulei shook her head, Li Wen was silent, and Shutao was proud!

Shu Tao saw that Li Wen and Shulei were not on this channel, so he only said to Erman: "When the gallery opens, you dress up carefully, I will help you find and find one, and then there will really be any diamond king and five who will take a fancy to you, you are not allowed to pick and choose and pretend to be cold, of course, you can have the appropriate desire to refuse, but you must not refuse people thousands of miles away! You also know that although the oily meat is fat, it is not easy to swallow!"

After saying that, Shu Tao deliberately swallowed his saliva and made a grimace, making Erman laugh.

Shutao said to Erman: "If you don't have any beautiful clothes at that time, you can ask me to borrow ......."

Erman is so enthusiastic and happy to read the book, he is embarrassed: "No need, I already bothered you so much." ”

"Why not, you know Mark Twain said: people rely on clothes, and ordinary people don't have much influence in this society. So that's why I spend days and nights thinking about what I should wear, how to wear it, although you are not beautiful and will not die, but you definitely can't live, listen to me. ”

When Erman heard Shutao say this, he felt that there was such a bit of truth, but now that he was over thirty years old, could he still be as graceful and charming as before, and he unconsciously became anxious when he thought of this.

After the four women finished eating, they already felt full, and Shulei said, "Why don't I go back first, Lao Zhang will drive to pick me up now." ”

"Go, go!" Shu Tao beckoned to her, "We're going to go to the house to drink dozens of glasses later, anyway, you pot-bellied woman can't talk to us!"

Shulei glanced at her sister, shook her head and left.

At this time, Shutao's phone rang, a strange call, she thought for a long time before picking up the phone: "Hey, who are you?"
