Chapter 12: Encounters
Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Minzhen said hello and hid back in the house.
"There's nothing to entertain you, the new lotus seeds, this soup tastes good." Mrs. Sun was already smiling and greeting Mrs. Ma.
"Okay. Your craftsmanship is good. It's the last time Minzhen sent a cake to the past, and our family Huimin has been full of praise." Mrs. Ma was very familiar with the pleasantries. As he spoke, he picked up the lotus seed and lily soup at hand.
Huimin is Mrs. Ma's only son. The Ma family is the landed household of Jiuli Lane, it is said that the Ma family was originally a large Manchu family, the elders have insight, and the Ma family took advantage of the thick foundation of the Ma family to take down the whole piece of land and build the houses around it. The unified name is 'Shanghai Jiuli'.
'Li' is the place where you live, and 'nine' is the domineering spirit of 'ninety-nine to one, ninety-nine supreme'.
However, the situation is stronger than others, and the children and grandchildren are not angry, most of the houses have been mixed, and Mrs. Ma is still entrenched here, barely supporting. Fortunately, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Mrs. Ma's family sells several shops and properties in Jiuli Lane, and the days are less than the above, and more than the bottom.
Mrs. Sun looked at the shining gemstone ring on Mrs. Ma's hand opposite, thinking that Minzhen's temperament is stubborn, she is too high to marry, and she must suffer some grievances, she has always felt that Huimin is a good child. It's a pity that he and Mrs. Ma tacitly agreed, but the two children did not cooperate.
Speaking of which, this has become Mrs. Ma's heart disease for a while, and her stupid son has been given many opportunities, but she has always been like a 'loving sister' to Minzhen, but as soon as Miss He, who moved in to rent, appeared, she seduced people's hearts and souls.
The child has no fate, and she has grown up by herself if she is not allergic, even if it is not a family, Mrs. Ma still hopes that she will go well.
Mrs. Ma drank half a bowl of soup, and the silver spoon was slightly stirred in her hand, and she wanted to speak for a while.
"Oh, we have lived in the old street for so many years, you know me." Mrs. Ma flicked the gold-encrusted ring on her little finger: "Guess who I saw at the mouth of the alley yesterday."
"Your family Min-jung's boyfriend is dating. Speaking of which, that car has been coming to us a lot lately, and I haven't seen it for a day, and it's early the next day." Mrs. Ma said with a smile that you know and I know: "Hey, Minzhen's girl looks silent, and she has a means!"
"Haha... NO, YOU DON'T KNOW OUR FAMILY'S MINZHEN'...... "MRS. SUN DOESN'T THINK THAT HER DAUGHTER 'DO' (ZUO).
Mrs. Ma brought really good news, she thought that her daughter was sad like that, and the two must be separated. But according to Mrs. Ma's statement, Young Master Zhang comes every day, and it can be seen that Minzhen is awkward alone.
Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, let them hurry up and reconcile!
"What is that young master doing at home? The car is good, and it looks like an old Koehler." Mrs. Ma's words are exaggerated.
Minzhen was changing her clothes and came out, and when she heard Mrs. Ma mention her promise, she subconsciously lightened her pace and stopped.
'Old Koehler' is a Shanghai dialect, which speaks of the old Shanghainese who are particular about life and exquisite food and clothing.
"Don't blame me for being too talkative, such a motivated young man, but I have to tell you that Jia Minzhen is a little more reliable." Mrs. Ma pursed the corners of her mouth: "Otherwise, it's like that one, you can't walk when you see a man, especially if the conditions are good, you must go up and hook up."
Mrs. Sun knew she was talking about Miss Ho. I don't think so, that Miss He is a courtesan at first glance, and she usually has no contacts. However, since I lived in Jiuli Lane, I was completely fascinated by Huimin.
Mrs. Ma is optimistic about Minzhen, and always thinks that it is Miss He who has disturbed the relationship between their family Huimin and Minzhen, but in fact, Mrs. Ma is angry. She also understands in her heart that Minzhen and Huimin grew up together, if they can meet their eyes, where is there anything about Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wang.
"You don't believe it, I saw her talking and laughing with the young master yesterday and talking for a long time."
The words are exaggerated and the voice is loud.
There is quite a kind of self-satisfaction and satisfaction that something big has happened, and I kindly tell you.
Usually Minzhen likes to listen to Mrs. Ma speak, because her words are always filled with a passion that is different from this sullen Jiuli Lane, and listening to it makes people feel powerful.
admits that she won't like Miss He, Minzhen knows it in her heart. Although he studied abroad and received Western education, he is an out-and-out old Shanghainese in his bones. Delicate, gentle, arrogant at heart, a bit of latent machismo, and a little bit of cleanliness.
Minzhen tried hard to shake off the mind in her heart, formed a whole group, came out to say a few words to Mrs. Ma, and went out.
"This time I accompanied me back to the countryside, and I was delayed a lot. She's an honest kid, and she's going to have to do things this Saturday."
Minzhen explained to Mrs. Sun that she had decided that she would not go to Fujita before she returned to Shanghai. She plans to find something to do again, hide away from the dirt, and live quietly with her mother.
Coming out of the door, Min-jung doesn't know where to go next.
There are some people who can't afford to die, so they have to work hard to accumulate the courage to live.
Minzhen decided to take the tram to the city first and buy a copy of the Times Business Daily, which she remembered would have a section with some job postings. Luck can't be worse anymore, for the sake of her mother and herself, Minzhen decides to always try a good interview.
My previous job was directly recommended by the faculty after graduating from a girls' school, so Min-jeong didn't have any experience in interviewing for jobs.
How do you introduce yourself? Which aspect of the performance.
Do you want to write a resume by hand. Min-jeong's hard-pen calligraphy is good, and she tries to show her strengths. But how do you write it on your resume? She is reluctant to mention her work experience in foreign banks to others, but now it is said that recruiters will like some experienced ones.
What a headache.
The child who sold the newspaper took the change and drew a copy of the Times Business Newspaper and handed it over. Minzhen walked away, and the kid couldn't help but mutter, "It's so beautiful, more beautiful than the movie star on the poster."
Zhang Rong, who was caught off guard, sounded interesting, he didn't have a child, and he knew what a beauty was.
