Chapter 28: There is no such thing as a free lunch
Simu changed his clothes, went downstairs and asked Sister-in-law Liu to cook some dishes I liked, and then asked Uncle Zhou to send him back to Huo's house.
I stood on the balcony and sighed, I waited for Simu's call at night, and he only called in the early morning, listening to his tired voice, I knew that Huo Mu was not less embarrassed by him.
In the past few days, he didn't want to come here to live, Jiajia lived with me, and he didn't say that he wanted to go back to Fu Yeqing once, and Fu Yeqing really gave Jiajia to me.
After the first seven, Zheng Guorong asked me to report to the company, I thought that this was a matter of time and time, and I had almost prepared in the past few days, it should be said that I had been preparing for three years, and I went to Zheng's Group after cleaning up.
It's not the first time I've come to this company, I used to come here often, and most of the old employees here recognize me, and the strange gaze cast on me has not disappeared from the moment I stepped into the hall.
Zheng Guorong knew that I was coming, and when I arrived at the door of the office, Assistant Ma pushed the door open for me: "Miss Chu, Mr. Zheng is in a meeting, let you wait in the office for a while." β
"Okay." I nodded to Assistant Ma and walked in.
I sat on the sofa for a while, Assistant Ma served me a cup of coffee, just wanted to drink it, listened to the sound of high heels outside, rubbed my eyebrows, and knew who was hurrying this way without thinking.
Sure enough, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Zheng Meihui came towards me angrily: "Chu An, I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned, you really dare to enter the company." β
I supported my chin with one hand, tilted my head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Why don't I dare to come, my uncle loves me so much, I can't live up to him." β
"Chu An, you're here to fight against me." Zheng Meihui shouted at me with a sharp voice: "You have climbed to the Huo family, come to the small company of the Zheng family, you just want to share the property of the Zheng family, right?" Relying on my dad to love you, you also want to learn from Fu Yeqing back then, let me tell you, with me Zheng Meihui here, you don't want to succeed. β
My eyes were a little cold, and I took a sip of coffee casually: "Cousin, what you said is really inconsistent, you also know that this Zheng family is just a small company, why should I rob you?" I can't just get it if I climb it. β
Zheng Meihui choked, her face was very ugly: "Since I was a child, you have to rob me of everything, you just can't see me well, and you want to mess up my life, right, since you came back, my father's attitude has changed, and Lin Yuan has to withdraw from the marriage, all because of you." β
I finally saw what it means to reverse black and white, as if from childhood to adulthood, the person who robbed me was never me.
For a person with paranoia of being killed, I don't want to waste my tongue, Zheng Guorong came in time, and when the door was pushed open again, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the sofa, and shouted: "Uncle." β
Zheng Meihui stomped her feet: "Dad, you let your cousin leave the company, if she doesn't leave today, I'll leave." β
Zheng Guorong came in with a cold face, it seems that there is some problem encountered in the meeting, this Zheng Meihui really can't observe words and feelings, and it doesn't matter if she makes trouble at home, this is the company, so many employees outside are watching it, playing the temper of the eldest lady is equivalent to looking for death.
Zheng Guorong slammed the document in his hand on the desk, looking annoyed, and without even looking at Zheng Meihui, he asked Assistant Ma to take her out.
Zheng Meihui was stunned, glared at me, and looked at Leslie Cheng: "Dad, you are really old and confused, I am your daughter......"
"Get out." Zheng Guorong was angry, Zheng Meihui was startled, and finally unwillingly followed Assistant Ma out, of course, before leaving, he gave me a sharp look as a warning.
Now it was quiet, Leslie Cheng sat on the office chair, rubbed his temples, instantly felt a lot older, and said to me: "An An, Meihui is this temper, don't be like her, hey, if this Meihui is half as filial and intelligent as you, I don't have to worry about it." β
I smiled and said, "I won't take anything my uncle says." β
Zheng Guorong was very pleased: "On the first day of reporting today, my uncle will arrange what position you want." β
"Uncle, I don't have to rush the position in advance, I have to explain one thing to my uncle first."
Leslie Cheng was a little curious: "Oh, what's the matter?" β
"Uncle, you must also know what my purpose is for joining the company, as my cousin said, this company may eventually go bankrupt because I was Fu Yeqing, even so, uncle, do you still insist on me staying?"
"I'm your uncle, of course I know what you think in your heart, my uncle said at the beginning, this Fu Yeqing has the means, and my uncle is not a vegetarian, An An, since you don't want to leave, then work in your uncle's company with peace of mind." Zheng Guorong said: "An An, Meihui is anxious, my uncle has to trouble you to help watch more, sharpen her temper, the Lin family suddenly regretted the marriage, Meihui felt uncomfortable, I heard that you and Lin Yuan are friends, now we are young and we can't understand when we are old, you help me persuade Meihui." β
I glanced at Leslie Cheng, holding the warm coffee in my hand, and suddenly felt that my palms were a little cold, but the corners of my mouth were still raised: "That's really thank you uncle, cousin, I will take it to heart." β
There is really no free lunch in this world, family affection is the same, Jiang is still old and spicy, businessmen care about interests, from the first time Leslie Cheng let me enter the Zheng family, I also know in my heart that this is to use me to suppress Zheng Meihui and let her grow, so as to facilitate the company to be handed over to her in the future, on the other hand, it is also for this company, my arrival, not only will not let Zheng have anything to do, but also let the company develop in the best direction.
I drank coffee casually, with all my expressions, maybe from the beginning, Leslie Cheng knew that there was a Huo family behind me, although I only told my grandmother, but Leslie Cheng is my grandmother's own son, and I will know it with a little clichΓ©.
No wonder, when I told Simu that I wanted to join the Zheng clan, he was silent for a while.
Simu may have known Leslie Cheng's mind for a long time.
Or, Leslie Cheng thinks that with Jiajia's relationship, Fu Yeqing will not do anything to Zheng, no matter what I want to do, he will benefit in the end.
It is better to take what you need, so as not to owe favors.
Zheng Guorong arranged a high position for me, the deputy manager of the project department, this airborne deputy manager, the people below saw that I was a woman, and they were naturally dissatisfied, but because I was Fu Yeqing's ex-wife and Zheng Guorong's niece, I was still passable on face.
Of course, the first day of work is to live a mixed life, and there is nothing to do at all, I have no opinion on this, I am not here to create benefits for Leslie Cheng, except for projects related to Fu's, it doesn't matter who cares about other projects.
Sitting in the swivel chair with his legs crossed, seeing that it was noon, Simu's phone called, inviting him to dinner, and he had already booked a place at a restaurant near the company.
I answered, cleaned up and passed, and I saw Simu at the door, I walked over with a smile and put my coat on the empty chair: "They all say that there is no free lunch in this world, I think this is not right with you." β
"It doesn't seem to be very satisfactory in the Zheng family? Looks like you've seen something clearly. Simu beckoned to the waiter, he knew my taste best, no need to ask me, what I ordered was my favorite food.
