10. Taboos
This is not the first time that Xu Ning has given advice on his stomach problems, but every time she says her, he should still be so willful.
The buzzword of the first two years, if you don't die, you won't die, is perfect for him.
Cheng Zhi spread his hands and compromised, "Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't drink before New Year's Day, okay?" ”
Is that my stomach? Xu Ning slandered his stomach and wanted to give him a face, but after thinking about it, he decided to endure it.
Coming out of the elevator and opening the door with the key, Xu Ning stopped Cheng Zhi's footsteps, "Mr. Cheng, you pat your body first before entering the house." Seeing that he was puzzled, she explained, "This is the old rule, before going home after the funeral, you have to take a picture of bad luck, and the province has 'dirty' on your body to bring in." "In fact, if you pay more attention to it, you have to cross the brazier and bathe with glazed leaves or something, but now there is no such condition, so it will be streamlined.
It's quite superstitious~
Cheng Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Where did you learn this?" ”
"My family is more traditional." Xu Ning also smiled, "Believe it or not, it won't be troublesome anyway." "She has always pursued the principle of 'rather believe it than believe it', and she will kowtow to her mother when she burns incense at home, not a faithful Buddhist believer, but also a little superstitious.
As mentioned earlier, Cheng Zhi is the life of the little cabbage, how happy the material life is, how skinny the family affection is. Except for a father who is not very close, the elders and relatives who can really think about him are almost dead, who will usually be idle and have nothing to say to him?
Besides, there are many people who pray to God and worship Buddha nowadays, but they don't care much about some customs and taboos. As soon as Xu Ning said this, Cheng Zhi felt fresh and intimate, looking at how his henchmen and subordinates looked at how pleasing to the eye.
I patted my body backwards, backwards, lefts, and downs seriously before entering the house. Xu Ning stood at the door and handed him the key, "Mr. Cheng, if your stomach doesn't hurt too much, don't take the stomach medicine prescribed by Dr. Wang, it's not good to take too much of that medicine." I'll go downstairs to decoct the medicine, or drink the Chinese medicine. ”
This is for his sake, Cheng Zhi naturally nodded and said yes. Xu Ning thought for a while and reminded, "It's best to take another bath to get rid of bad luck." ”
He couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Why didn't I see you so superstitious before." ”
Xu Ning pursed his lips, and said in his heart, you didn't give me a chance to stutter. After all, when I was in Beijing, except for work, there was very little intersection between the two in private life, unlike now, when I looked up and didn't look down, I almost all of them were together except for sleeping, and I didn't even have any private space on weekends. Over time, we will get to know each other better.
took the elevator downstairs, and patted his body before entering the door, Xu Ning first went to take a shower and change clothes. As soon as I poured the Chinese medicine into the decoction, my mobile phone rang in the living room, and I pressed the switch and ran to answer the phone with my slippers.
It's from home.
"Ning Ning, are you busy at this time? Didn't bother you with your work, did you? Mother Xu asked over there.
As soon as Xu Ning heard his mother's polite tone, he had a bad premonition. Although there was a guess, his mouth responded, "I'm not busy at this time, why are you calling now?" "Because she worked as an assistant for others and was valued by the leader, she usually took the initiative to call back at night.
Mother Xu said, "It's okay, shouldn't it be cold?" You don't have a lot of clothes with you, do you need your mother to send you some? ”
It seems that things are not going to be easy.
Xu Ning was a little helpless, "Mom, is there something going on at home?" If there's something you say, don't do that. ”
"You kid, it's not good for your mother to care about you?"
"Mmmm, thank you for your concern, I have enough clothes here, so I don't need to send them."
"Ahem, but Mom does have a little bit of something she wants to discuss with you."
"I'll listen, you can say it."
"It's your second uncle's Yulan." Mother Xu said cautiously over there, "She doesn't work in a foreign company, the work is very good, it's right, her leader always harasses her, and the girl resigned in a fit of anger, it's been almost two months, and I haven't found a good job, your second uncle and second aunt asked me to ask you, see if you can help arrange arrangements in your company, and you don't need a big position, as long as you can arrange it." ”
Sure enough, nothing good! Xu Ning raised his forehead, "Mom, I'm just an assistant, how do you let me arrange it?" ”
"Or ...... Please, Mr. Cheng? Mother Xu also knew that this matter was very embarrassing, but her second brother and sister-in-law both begged to come to the door, and they had a lot of good words, and they were all close relatives, so they couldn't be ignored.
Xu Ning laughed a little angrily, not to mention that Cheng Zhi couldn't protect himself at this time, even if he ascended the throne now, she couldn't find him to go through the back door! This is no different from self-destruction of her future, she thinks she is not a virgin, and that cousin is not close to her, relying on a third-rate diploma abroad, dragging 2580,000 all day long, sacrificing herself or something, don't even think about it.
"Mom, I can't help with this, if she wants to develop the Cheng family, she will apply for the job herself. But now the company doesn't seem to be hiring, her diploma, you can still find a job, just don't be too eye-catching. ”
"Oh, look at you, that's your cousin, how can you talk! Your second uncle usually loves you so much, and two days ago he said that he would invite our family to go out for a trip during the New Year. ”
"If you want to go out to play, I'll pay for it, but you don't have to find a job, Mom, don't take care of this kind of thing, it's thankless, why bother?"
Xu's mother also thought it was bad to cause trouble to her daughter, but Xu Ning kept shirking like this, and the words were a little ugly, after all, it was her mother's brother, dear, and she was a little angry at this time.
"Ning Ning, you can't forget your roots, your second uncle didn't help our family before, and your father had surgery back then..."
Xu Ning doesn't know how many times he has heard it since he was a child, his mother is good anywhere, but when he encounters his mother's affairs, he is a little unfirm, and even a little partial. In the past, she was also willing to coax her mother and deal with it, but today she was a little impatient and interrupted, "Mom, it's time for a meeting here, I really can't help Yulan's work, let's not talk about it, hang up." ”
After saying that, Lisso cut off the phone.
Throwing the phone on the sofa, Xu Ning took off the towel wrapped around his head, sighed, and was stunned for a while, only to remember that his hair hadn't been blown yet, and there was a prince upstairs waiting to take medicine.
……
The medicine pot made a jingling sound, Xu Ning rolled up his freshly dried hair in a bun, went to the kitchen to unplug it, poured the Chinese medicine into a small bowl, and went out upstairs with his mobile phone and keys.
Cheng Zhi was lying on the sofa in the living room after taking a shower and changing the remote control, and his stomach hurt for a while. When he heard the doorbell ringing, he sat up slowly, put on his shoes and went to open the door.
Xu Ning didn't plan to go in, only handed over the tray, "You drink medicine, call me if you have something." ”
Cheng Zhi raised his eyebrows, "There is something now, come, come in, let's talk." ”
Xu Ning thought that he might want to talk about today's funeral, so he didn't pretend and went directly into the house.
Now Cheng Zhi has a pair of slippers for her at home, and she also has his at home. It may seem ambiguous to outsiders, but in fact, the two are innocent, just for convenience.
After Cheng Zhi finished drinking the Chinese medicine, he peeled off a piece of toffee and threw it into his mouth, leaned on the sofa and got down to business.
"Did you find it, that Zhang Quanquan and Zhao Guangyuan's family seem to be a little contradictory."
I really haven't found it. Although Zhang Quanquan is Zhao Guangyuan's younger brother, to be honest, when he sees a real person, it is really hard to believe. Zhao Guangyuan is fat like a ball, Zhang Quanquan is thin like a monkey, and the brothers vividly interpret an idiom: the opposite is the opposite.
And today's funeral from beginning to end, Zhang Quanquan was very calm, heavy and heavy, but it was not like he was going to pay tribute to his brother, people who don't know the inside story will feel that Ruida's Mr. Zhang came mainly to save face. Correspondingly, the Zhao family did not treat him specially.
To say that other people don't know Zhao Guangyuan's relationship with him, Xu Ningxin, Zhao Guangyuan's wife and children don't know? That's absolutely impossible. Obviously, the two sides are acting today, since they are pretending to be unfamiliar, where can they see the contradictions?
"You're sharp-eyed, I really didn't see it." She said calmly.
Cheng Zhi chewed and swallowed the sugar in his mouth, and glanced at her, "Sensei poured me ** soup, you, you still need to experience." After speaking, he didn't go around in circles, and continued, "One was when I was in the crematorium, Zhang Quanquan went to shake hands with his family, and I specially observed Mrs. Zhao at that time, when she saw Zhang Quanquan, her expression was very subtle, and for a moment, I felt as if she was about to lose her temper, but finally held back; There is also when eating, I didn't go to the bathroom halfway, came out of the bathroom, and happened to see Zhang Quanquan and Zhao Guangyuan's son go down the stairs one after the other, they argued while going downstairs, and there were a few words that were very loud, although they spoke in dialects, I didn't understand too much, but they were definitely not good words. ”
So, the latter one is the key to your reasoning, right?
Xu Ning pursed his lips secretly and continued, "If there is really a contradiction between the two sides...... Uneven distribution of spoils? ”
Cheng Zhi bowed, "Eighty percent is because of this." Ruida is under the name of Zhang Quanquan, Zhao Guangyuan wants to use Cheng's resources to benefit himself, he has a special identity, and he is shrewd and cautious, maybe there is an agreement signed with Zhang Quanquan in private, but there will be no clues on the surface. Now that Zhao Guangyuan is dead, even if there is a contract, it will be invalidated, and it is not impossible if Zhang Quanquan wants to repay the debt or reduce the share. ”
What's more, Zhang Quanquan has always grown up with his adoptive parents, except for his own brother, the relationship with the rest of the Zhao family will definitely not be too deep. Most businessmen are selfish, if Zhao Guangyuan was still alive, Zhang Quanquan would not have the courage, but now that Zhao Guangyuan is dead, there is a word called death without proof.
"Mr. Cheng, do you have any ideas?" Xu Ning felt that with Cheng Zhi's character, he would not waste his tongue analyzing things that were useless to him.
"Aning, you're so smart, it's stressing me out."
Xu Ning hehe, "You are too modest. ”
He didn't say much, just smiled and crooked Lou back, "I'm going to talk to that guy surnamed Zhang and buy Ruida." ”
