After a brief trip, I sat comfortably at the cabin bar sipping a glass of wine, admitting that I was addicted to blood-like liquids.

My heart was covered with a thick layer of fog that could not be dissolved. I don't know what Jiang Moyan's purpose was in bringing me here for a walk, did he just want me to come and see his ambitions?

Intuition isn't that simple.

On the afternoon of the day I came back, I was directly thrown into the etiquette class by Jiang Moyan, Qian Hui was already lacking interest in practicing standing posture in the classroom, and when he saw me coming, he took off the textbook on his head, beat his waist, and greeted him.

"I used to think that my walking and standing posture was standard enough, but I didn't expect that after half a day, I realized that my previous appearance was completely contrived, and it was completely unrelated to everyone's beauty."

With that, she placed the book on my head. "You practice for a while. I rested. ”

Li Ying, the etiquette teacher, is a woman in her forties, wearing a navy blue cheongsam, clasping her hands in front of her, and her smile makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart. I couldn't help but think of my adoptive mother, who was still teaching at the university at the time, and she was like this at that time, and every time I saw her come home from class, I would always envy her in my heart. She would always glare at me with hatred, and then reveal her true nature.

Maybe it's because her temperament is a bit like my adoptive mother, I have a little more respect for her, I studied very seriously in the afternoon, and Qian Hui became serious under my drive.

During the break, Li Ying sat down next to me.

"You've learned etiquette before, too."

"My mother used to be an etiquette teacher and taught me some, but I, a student, was too casual and always liked how to be comfortable, so I wasted her hard work."

I looked down and fiddled with my fingers. Images of the past kept flashing through my mind.

"I'm sorry to hurt you." Li Ying had a hint of apology in her tone. "There are many kinds of comfort, and if the standard sitting, walking, table manners, etc., become a habit that is integrated into your bone marrow."

"What you said makes sense, in the final analysis, I was too lazy before, some things that I was used to, and I didn't want to correct them, so I knew that the actions were indecent, and I would still do the same."

"If you figure it out, you'll be able to graduate as a cadet. However, I still have to go through my exams. ”

Li Ying is a charitable woman, it is very comfortable to talk to her, I smiled at her, I didn't expect that the etiquette course that Jiang Moyan reported to me ended in one afternoon.

"Then she graduates, what should I do?" Qian Hui, who had practiced standing and sitting for a day, thumped his sore legs and looked up and asked.

"Just for you, the road to graduation is still very difficult."

Amused by Li Ying's words, I chuckled.

"Well, your smile is pretty standard. You take etiquette as a ruler to measure your code of conduct, and you just keep it in mind at first, and after a long time, it will subtly melt into you. Follow me. ”

Li Ying said hello to the teacher she was teaching with and took me into another classroom. Here, she really gave me an etiquette course exam.

"Yes, I believe your mother is a good etiquette teacher." She stepped forward with graceful steps to open the multimedia, and the etiquette teaching video immediately appeared on the screen.

The screen seems to be split into two halves, one is a picture of eating, walking, and standing with standard etiquette, including in the office, and the other is a woman who seems to have drunk half a catty of vinegar and her legs are filled with lead, which looks disgusting.

The video was played for more than an hour, and my mind kept flashing all kinds of pictures of myself before, if it was just eight points of determination to say goodbye to the old habits, then this time it is definitely twelve points of determination!

"When I see the look in your eyes, you can really graduate. You're the fastest graduating student I've been teaching for so many years. Li Ying smiled gently, "However, the tuition fee will still be collected and will not be refunded." ”

"Anyway, it's the company's money, and it won't be collected for nothing." Her uprightness made me feel a lot better, and after leaving my contact information, I left the etiquette class that had just been in place for a few hours under the envious gaze of Qian Hui.

However, this etiquette class is really not in vain, the mentality is correct, and the walking posture is naturally correct, even when I return home, standing at the entrance, I change my shoes unhurriedly. Strive to make every movement decent and elegant to the point that you can't find any fault.

The maid, who hadn't seen me for two days, ran up to me in a big cotton slipper, leaning on the shoe cabinet and looking at me with a small face.

"Mom, before you changed your shoes for a maximum of ten seconds, you worked hard for more than a minute today." The little guy tiptoed, raised his arm, and presented the electronic watch on his wrist to me.

I bent down and pinched her little face, "You're a big ghost." ”

"Uncle Lu and Brother Lu Qi called you to pay New Year's greetings." Speaking of this, Yaya had a smile on her face, "Grandma Lu also invited me to go to Lincheng to play after the Lantern Festival." Mom, shall we go together? ”

"Mom has to go to work, she can't go."

"Oh." Yaya lowered her head, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and her small mouth was high.

I sat on the sofa with her in my arms, and my mother was sitting next to her peeling nuts.

"People say that women don't stay, and they can't keep them before they grow up."

I patted her little shoulder, "Okay, I'll come with you when Mommy has time, okay?" ”

"Okay, the hook."

I don't know when I cheated on her, I could feel her trust in me plummet, and with my promise, she jumped into the bedroom.

"Xiaoxi, you see that Yaya likes Lu Ye and Ye so much, don't you think about Lu Ming?"

My mother pushed the peeled nuts in front of me, her eyes staring at my face after the vicissitudes of life, and Xiao Wu also looked up at me.

Except for the occasional crackling of dried fruits, the living room fell silent for a moment, as if they were all waiting for my answer.

I chuckled, "Mom, it's one thing for a child to like it, and it's another thing for an adult to look at each other." Lu Ming doesn't have that mind about me, and I don't want to do this for the time being. This afternoon, after practicing etiquette for a day, my back hurts, so I went back to the house to lie down. ”

"You kid, when you talk about this, you put it off. Okay, don't slip away, I'll help you heat the meal, eat it and lie down. ”

"No, I'll do it myself." I grabbed my mother, who was slowly getting up on the couch.

"In my life, my mother doesn't seem to have cooked a meal for you. In the future, Mom will slowly make up for that love for you. ”

My mom tapped my hand a few times and motioned for me to let go, and when she said this, my eyes glazed over, and I watched her hobble into the kitchen.

"You're happy." Xiao Wu lowered his head and said coldly.

"Yes, I used to think that fate was quite unfair, but now it seems that it is not bad." I was disappointed in love, but I at least had a well-behaved daughter, parents who loved me, and good friends.

Xiao Wu bit the crunchy nut in his mouth and didn't say a word.

The holidays passed quickly, it was time to go to work on the eighth day of the new year, my dad's car had been repaired, he rarely went out, and it was inconvenient to take the bus every day, so it became my means of transportation.

After the holiday, I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and everyone will say a few words of greeting when they meet.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, the eyes of the two people at the front desk looked at me, and I smiled at them.

"Minister Song, you look very different today!" The little grandson at the front desk, as soon as I was born, people passing by the hall couldn't help but look at me more.

"Really?" I replied lightly, stepped on the pair of high heels that seemed to be tailor-made for me, stepped on the inquiring eyes of my colleagues, and entered the elevator elegantly.

Maybe it's because my temperament has changed from the inside out, and my colleagues' attitudes towards me seem to have changed a lot.

When I first came to work, I had accumulated a lot of things, and I finally got free money and hurried back to my office.

"This is your peace charm, I forgot to give it to you that day."

Qian Hui sat down across from me and rubbed his arms and hammered his legs.

"You haven't graduated from your etiquette class yet?"

"Don't mention it, I think before I went in, I could barely be called a small jasper, after this training, I directly became a female man, my back hurts all day long, you want me to stand up and sit well, I find it difficult."

Qian Hui muttered, "Originally, the etiquette class was prepared for you, but I didn't expect you to leave neatly, leaving a large group of us to suffer there." ”

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. By the way, you have to take this peace charm with you, the master himself has opened the light, and it is very spiritual. I'm busy, and I have a bunch of things to do today. Qian Hui ran to the door in a hurry, and then turned back.

"Oh, you said this ghost weather, it was snowing a few days ago, and it was cold to death. In the past two days, the temperature has risen so fast, and the Yihe project is about to start, you first approved the documents for the procurement of this material, and I sent it to the procurement department, so I can't delay the business. ”

"Isn't this cement matter handed over to Gu Yan to do? There are a lot of other materials, and I can't approve this list. ”

I glanced at the top document, and it was not wise to buy the building materials in large quantities before they were used.

"This document is the purpose of Mr. Jiang personally."

Qian Hui winked at me a few times and motioned for me to sign quickly, but I hesitated. Jiang Moyan's desire to start another stove flashed in his mind, and I signed it quickly, maybe there was a reason for him to do so.

I played with the angular yellow peace charm with a red line in my hand, looked at it a few times, and felt that there was nothing unusual, so I casually threw it in my bag.

As soon as I went to work the next day, Suyang held a meeting, and the groundbreaking ceremony of the Yihe project was prepared to be held after the Lantern Festival, that is, on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Hearing this decision, I frowned slightly, at that time it was when my brother was going to be tried for the second time, I don't know if I have so much energy.

The Yihe project is the largest project received by Suyang in the past ten years, and it is the result of government bidding.

It's just that when almost everyone was busy preparing for the groundbreaking ceremony and the start of construction here, some people began to make a fuss.

The incident of the flooding of cement pressed down by Jiang Moyan began to spread ten days later. For a time, Wencheng's newspapers and media, as well as first-class gossip on the Internet, were flying all over the sky.

They all criticized Suyang for not doing things well because it was funded by the government, and he made such a big move before he started work, and even the accidents that occurred at the previous cocktail party were pulled out. And the most ridiculous thing is that some newspapers even ripped out the theory of ghosts and gods.

Saying that the water of the Yi River has drowned many people, it is not clean, and daring to build a house there will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the water ghosts and take the opportunity to retaliate.

"What is this? Where has no one died, and most of the schools are built on mass graves, how come I haven't seen any ghosts and gods! ”

Qian Hui threw the newspaper on my desk with an angry face.

"The people of Wencheng are not stupid, and besides, this is a government-funded project, and the officials will never let the message spread so wantonly."

I glanced at it and tossed the newspaper into the trash can under my desk, and I now chose to ignore all these mood-inducing things.

"It seems that that half-day etiquette tutorial really benefited you a lot." Qian straightened his face, looked at my legs, and raised his eyebrows at me, "You mrright, you haven't shown up yet, this bouquet of flowers every day is really persistent." ”

I shook my head helplessly, "I'm worried that there is no place to put it, you can take it and help me deal with it." ”

I am allergic to pollen, so I don't dare to put flowers in the office, and in order to reduce some gossip, I don't dare to throw them directly in the trash, so I have to use the money back as a flower recycling bin.

"You're going to stimulate me." Qian Hui picked up the flower, glanced at me, deliberately dangled the flower in front of me a few times, and walked out of the office.

I sneezed gorgeously, slandering in my heart, this flower giver probably can't get along with me so persistently to send me a bouquet of nemesis every day.

Bad news always spreads quickly, just one day's work, Suyang has become the hottest entry in Wencheng, and Lu Ming also came to Suyang for this matter. The group is especially rowed.

When I went to deliver my documents, he and Jiang Moyan were drinking a glass of water by themselves.

I didn't want to listen to what the two of them were talking about, but the document in my hand was an urgent document, Jiang Mo didn't sign it, and I could only wait to stand there and wait.

"This is before the rain? Well, you are using the wrong water, this tea is not brewed. Lu Ming put down the cup in his hand and spoke slowly, it seems that he is also a tea connoisseur.

"Do you regret handing over the project to Suyang?" Hearing this, Lu Ming said that Jiang Moyan was not angry, but he didn't beat around the bush.

"That's not to the point of regret, I just came today to ask you, are you going to be beaten passively like this?"

Jiang Moyan blew down the leaves floating on the tea water, and took a sip without hurrying, "Like you said, the heat has not yet arrived, if you are too urgent, this battle will not be beautiful." Knowing my answer, this tea is not appetizing, Mayor Lu will go back first. ”

"I hope you don't let me down." Lu Ming is an extremely recuperated person, there is no abnormality on his face, he finished the tea in the cup, nodded to me, walked to the door, and slowly turned around before his hand touched the handle.

"Xiaoxi, my mother likes you very much, and I hope you can come to my house again."

"Say hello to my aunt for me and tell her I'll go when I'm free." Thinking of the kind old man, I inexplicably liked it in my heart.

"Okay, I'm not going to pass it on."

The sound of the door closing, Jiang Moyan put down the teacup in his hand and slammed it on the table, making a crisp sound, but his hand never left the cup, the green tendons on the back of his hand jumped violently, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and a burst of anger that almost burned people was exuded all over his body.

I snorted in my heart and stood next to me with my papers, wondering whether to duck or wait for the active volcano to erupt.

Suddenly, the anger in his body dissipated, leaving only a thick sense of powerlessness, and after a while, he returned to normal, poured a glass of water, and leaned on the sofa.

"I've said it all, he's not for you." Sister-in-law, you said it, I believed it

"Mr. Jiang, this is my private matter, I don't worry about you." I really want to yell at him, I have believed you many times, but every time I touch it, my nose is blue and my face is swollen, this time I want to disobey him!

A vague sigh drifted into my ears, but soon disappeared, and he held out his hand to me, and I handed over the document in my hand.

"Yunhu is more suitable for you than him." He said this for the second time as he finished signing and handed the document back to me.

"Who is suitable for me and who is not suitable for me, I know in my heart, Mr. Jiang is in charge of Suyang, and he cares about your fiancée well."

His words made my heart swell with anger, but Li Ying's words that day did work, and I was able to adapt to the standard etiquette that I had learned since I was a child in a short period of time.

The smile on my face never disappeared, and the color of my eyes did not change much, I took the paper, turned around gracefully, and left the office with small steps in my high heels.

There was always a line of sight behind me, knowing that my figure was gone, and it didn't take it back
