Chapter 1
At that time, I didn't know that this story was far from over, because when it came to the plot of Mao Jie's departure, Anxin stopped the narration. She was silent and depressed for a long time, and I had to change the subject and try to re-energize her in some way.
"Drink some coffee? I'm going to cook. I said.
"I'll do it." Anxin stood up for me and went to the kitchen. It's like escaping this dimly lit living room, which is full of too sad memories. Anxin has lived here for nearly half a month, boiling water and cooking for me every day, and is more familiar with how to make coffee than me.
I went into the kitchen and helped her wash the coffee pot and cups, and neither of us spoke, except for the sound of rushing water and the sizzling electrical resistance of the electric coffee stove. I made coffee with peace of mind, took a cup that I was washing in my hand, and said:
"I'll wash it, there's a knock at the door."
I put down my glass and looked at my watch, it was already past ten o'clock, who would come? I walked out of the kitchen, walked through the living room, and opened the door. The lights in the corridor were dark, but I saw a person standing in front of the door, and I asked, "Who?" The people outside the door stepped in without my permission almost as I asked.
"Me!"
My head swelled like a ghost, my lips went numb, my legs stiffened, and I was sweating all at once.
“…… Zhong Ning? ”
That's right, it's really Zhong Ning!
Zhong Ning smiled proudly, and when he came up, he raised my ear: "I knocked on the door for a long time, how did I hear it!" I didn't think it was me! You can't think of it when I guess! ”
I stiffened in the doorway, almost forgetting to give way: "You're not...... Didn't you go to Inner Mongolia? Plane delayed? ”
I almost wondered if this Zhong Ning was real, two hours ago, I had dropped her off at the airport, and I had watched her and her sisters walk into the ticket gate laughing and talking. The real Zhong Ning should still be in the sky at this time, or, just landed at the airport outside Hohhot.
Zhong Ning said seriously: "Didn't you ask me to come back early?" I didn't listen to you and came back sooner! ”
When she saw that I was still stunned, she smiled and said, "I didn't get on the plane at all, so I made a call at the airport to our customer in Inner Mongolia and asked him to accompany him." I told the people at the airport that I was in a hurry and couldn't leave, and the airline people had to put me on the plane! At most, there will be no refunds. What's the matter, I've scrapped my ticket and sacrificed my most iron-clad hair boy just to come back to accompany you, why don't you seem to be happy! ”
Zhong Ning looked at the stunned on my face, and threw the bag in his hand on the sofa in a fit of smugness, wrapped his arms around my neck, and hung his whole body in the air. She smiled and ordered:
"Bring me in!"
She hung heavily on me, I was unprepared, and almost let her hang down, but quickly subconsciously caught her legs and picked her up. Then, the situation that could not be avoided finally happened, and Anxin walked out of the kitchen with his coffee. The two women seemed to be destined to meet in this small living room, looking at each other, so close that I wished there was a crack in the ground next to me.
Zhong Ning seemed to forget that she was still hanging on top of me with her feet off the ground at this time, and her eyes were looking at An An aggressively, although her voice was not loud, but it was a provocative tone: "Yo, who is this?" ”
Anxin held the coffee pot in one hand and the cup in the other, stunned at the door of the kitchen. Of course, she saw what the relationship between Zhong Ning and me was - Zhong Ning put his arms around my neck and asked me to hold it like this, what else could it be! Zhong Ning will definitely guess Anxin's role at this time - a girl is still here in the middle of the night, what else can she do! Zhong Ning turned her head and suddenly raised her voice and shouted loudly into my ear, and I could even see my helpless face in her fierce eyes.
"Who is this, she is!"
As soon as I let go of Zhong Ning, I wanted to save the situation, and I desperately wanted to simply break the can, and at this moment I completely relied on a subconscious reaction to make a sound:
"She, she's my classmate, came to Beijing, and came to see me by the way."
I don't know if this response was a rush or a stupid response. The first to calm down and make a normal gesture was Anxin, who put down the coffee in her hand and calmly said to me, "Ah, you have guests, I'll go first." ”
Zhong Ning stopped her: "Wait, don't go!" Are you his classmate? ”
Zhong Ning's voice was full of emotion, her attitude towards peace of mind made my heart feel like it was on fire, I really wanted to rush up and beat her like a man, but I didn't move. I just pressed the fire and screamed:
"Zhong Ning!"
Zhong Ning shook his head and glared at me: "What's the matter, I can't ask?" ”
I also glared angrily: "This is my guest, can't you be polite!" ”
We were all a little anxious, only An An remained calm, picked up her backpack without any expression, calmly opened the door, turned back to me to say goodbye, and went out, and the door was gently closed.
The "goodbye", I could hear it, was very cold, so cold that it made you feel a little resentful.
Anxin left, leaving only me and Zhong Ning, and my heart was not as tight as just now. Now it's just the two of us, and I can lie as much as I want, I can come up with explanations without scruples, and I can continue to carry on with righteous indignation to the end! - They are my classmates, we haven't seen each other for more than a year since we graduated from college and returned to our hometown, and they came to Beijing to see what happened to me! Your attitude towards me will be spread out tomorrow and let our classmates know, and everyone must not be a joke! What are you hurting you by giving me some face, huh?
Zhong Ning squinted at me, and then looked around the room without saying a word, looking around, as if to find some evidence of an adulterer. Fortunately, she found nothing, not even suspicious, and finally, she said:
"You men, I know you want to be faced, if you want face, don't do that skinless thing. I tell you Yang Rui, I can tolerate you anything, you said that you don't want to get married for the time being, and you can do it. But there is one thing, don't always think that you are smart, and no one can find out what you do. The paper can't contain the fire, there is no impermeable wall, if you want people not to know, unless you don't do it, you beware of not letting me catch it, don't regret it if you catch it! ”
I stopped talking, and Zhong Ning slept here at night. After the lights went out, she asked for it, and I was not emotional, and I was very passive. Zhong Ning tossed for a long time and didn't arouse my enthusiasm, she was a little annoyed, pushed me hard and asked, "What's the matter, what are you angry with me!" You don't want to think about it, I didn't get on the plane, I came back to look for you, you're good, what are you doing hiding here with a woman in the middle of the night! I see if I can't be anxious with you. And then you're still angry. A while ago, I went to other places and went abroad, who knows what you did in Beijing alone! ”
Actually, I'm not angry, I'm just confused, just thinking about peace of mind. I think that my image in her mind is completely ruined now, and she must be heartbroken, just like Mao Jie's feelings for her at the beginning. She just didn't slam the door as hard as Mao Jie when she left.
The next morning, Zhong Ning and I went to work together, attended the meeting of the Guoning Taekwondo Gym Project Preparation Office, and listened to the designers of the design institute talk about the graphic design plan. Zhong Guoqing also came, and the plan was mainly to tell him. I sat absent-mindedly on the side, staying up until noon, Zhong Guoqing wanted to invite a few designers to dinner, saying that some issues could be discussed while eating. Zhong Ning pulled me to participate, and I said that I was dizzy and uncomfortable, and I wanted to find a place to squint for a while. Zhong Ning thought that I made her toss last night, so he was unusually relaxed and did whatever I wanted, and he didn't forget to say a few words of compassion when they broke up.
As soon as I left the company, I hurriedly used my mobile phone to call Anxin. No one answered the phone in the communication room of Beijing Normal Sports School, and finally someone answered, so I asked him to help find Anxin, but I waited for a long time and told me that Anxin was not there. I knew she was there, and she wouldn't answer my calls. I didn't bother to eat lunch, so I drove straight to the Jingshi Sports School, and went straight to the Taekwondo gym after arriving at the sports school. Sure enough, peace of mind is there, and I am washing the cloth in the water room. She knew I was standing behind me and deliberately didn't look back. I said, "You're angry?" She said, "No." I said, "I love you." She turned around and wanted to leave the room with a cloth with water, and she said, "You love too many people." ”
I stopped her and shouted, "No! You should listen to me! My voice was a little rough, and I stood down and looked up at me, but I didn't know what to explain.
I didn't dare to look at her like this, so I looked away, lowered my voice, and said, "I love you." ”
Anxin shook her head, and I could see that her peace was done to me. She said calmly: "Do you know Yang Rui, I just want to live in peace, I don't want to get involved in any right and wrong, I hope you can let me live quietly as before!" ”
The last sentence, which could be heard, was finally a little excited, and she tried her best to suppress it, and her voice was already a little sharp. After she finished speaking, she grabbed the door with the dun cloth. I still wanted to pull her, but at this time, someone came and asked Anxin to go to the practice hall to help carry things. Anxin followed the man. I stood in the water room and didn't go out, listening to them talk outside the door and walk away.
That night, it was late, and I called Anxin after I was sure that she would definitely go back to the sports school after class. Uncle Zhang answered the phone as usual, and as soon as he heard my voice, he said in a rough voice: "Looking for peace of mind, right?" She's not there! ”
Before I could say a second sentence, the phone was hung up. I also dropped the phone and scolded fiercely: "Damn! "I can't tell whether to scold Uncle Zhang or Anxin.
I didn't go looking for peace of mind again. A few days later, I received a remittance slip from the post office, the remittance amount was 5,000 yuan, and the address of the remittance was a certain lane in a certain street in Nande, Yunnan, and the name was written as Anxin. I know that I'm and peace of mind, it's over.
It was the first time I had ever been in a real relationship with a girl, and the first time I had really failed, and it was hard to explain for a while. In the first few days, what I felt the most was the kind of nest where my self-esteem was accidentally bruised, but in the next few days, what appeared frequently in my mind was all the happiness and warmth when I was with Anxin. Every thing, every detail, I think about it, I can't think about it, I can't control it. After thinking about it, I still feel that among all girls, peace of mind is the best. Perhaps, as Liu Minghao said, peace of mind is a person from a small place, and a girl from a big city is not the same. The innocence, hard work, industriousness and non-snobbery of the girls in the small place have a special freshness for those of us who have hardly left Beijing, or to describe me in Liu Minghao's words: "Maybe you are just like this." ”
I try to ask myself to stop thinking about peace of mind, to devote myself wholeheartedly to my work, and to let it take up my energy and space for thinking. In the company, I try to get along with everyone in a friendly way, not to show a "horse" appearance, and to respect Bian Xiaojun. Seeing Zhong Guoqing, he also respectfully called him "Mr. Zhong" like everyone else. The relationship with Zhong Ning is also as normal as possible, neither humble nor arrogant, avoiding quarrels, serious when it should be serious, relaxed when it should be relaxed, not cold to her, and not too much passion.
At a press conference to celebrate the topping out of the Guoning Tower, I met my dad. I haven't seen him in a long time. He was a little more blessed than a while ago, and he presided over the press conference that day, and he couldn't hide the pride on his face. As soon as the press conference was over, he called me aside, took out a passbook and stuffed it into my hand, and said, "Take it, buy a diamond ring for Zhong Ning, this is what the man must buy." This is a gift from your father for your future marriage, I will send it in advance. ”
I opened the passbook, and there were 10,000 yuan in it. Whole. Although my dad's salary is higher now than in the past, 10,000 yuan is still not a small amount for him, and I want to push it back: "Dad, what are you worried about, we are early." ”
My dad glared at me and scolded me: "Why are you so muddy, this is only sent when you are in love, do you understand!" The diamond is eternal, one will be passed on forever, this is on behalf of the purity and eternity of love, it is to be given at this time, and when you really get married, you will not have this romantic energy. When you get married, you can live with pots and pans. ”
My dad even catches the words on the advertisement, and I can see that working in the private sector has changed his ideological personality and language style. My dad hurt me a few more words, turned his face and left. I took the 10,000 yuan passbook and stood stunned.
The next day I went to Guiyou Mansion and picked out a diamond ring with a less fancy carving. The price is auspicious: nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. I paid the money. The diamond ring was placed in a small blue velvet box, tied with a ribbon on the outside, and solemnly packed in a delicate little bag, giving a special temptation. The moment the salesperson handed me the little bag, a look of relief flashed through my heart, and I imagined what it would be like to buy it for her.
One evening, a few days later, Zhong Ning called me and told me to come to her house for dinner, and I took the diamond ring with me. Zhong Ning and her brother Zhong Guoqing lived together, and they lived in a villa in Xiangjiang Garden, a place I had been to many times, and the doorman was familiar with me. Zhong Guoqing was also there that day, and before eating, I took out the velvet box in front of Zhong Guoqing and gave it to Zhong Ning, saying, "I'll give you something." Zhong Ning began to say: "What else are you giving, we are both old husbands and wives." When I opened it, I was a little surprised and asked happily, "Yo, what do you mean by giving me this?" I said, "It doesn't mean anything, I'm just sending you." Zhong Ning smiled, approached me, and said, "You have to put this thing on for me personally, right?" ”
I thought about it, it seemed that there was such a rule, so I held up Zhong Ning's left hand and put the diamond ring on her ring finger. She was so happy that she tilted her face inch by inch, meaning that I should kiss her.
I kissed her. She kissed me too. Her brother Zhong Guoqing smiled: "Ahem, cough, don't be so sensy in front of people, okay?" ”
Zhong Ning ate happily at that meal, not only had a good appetite, but also took the initiative to tell a lot of jokes, even some yellow jokes. It's very yellow, it's a very yellow kind. Huang couldn't even bear to listen to Zhong Guoqing, and said: "Why are you so disgusting, the man said that this is okay, and you are a girl who says this, you are not too cold." Zhong Ning said: "What's that, anyway, there are no outsiders in my own home, amuse me." Zhong Guoqing shook his head helplessly at me and said, "Her big smug problem has been exposed in front of you." Zhong Ning pouted and said, "You ask Yang Rui, who has more problems with me or him." I said, "What's wrong with me?" Zhong Ning said: "What's wrong, you don't know what is wrong!" I knew what she was referring to, so I had to pretend to be stupid and not take it seriously.
After eating, Zhong Ning went to the study to pick up a call from one of her girlfriends. The girls always talk to each other for a long time, and they are endless. Zhong Guoqing lit a cigarette and chatted with me in the living room.
He asked me first, "What's the matter, when are you going to do it, you guys?" ”
I didn't expect him to ask this at first, but then I thought about it, I came to give the ring today, and I brought this topic myself, so I hurriedly replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, we are still too young, so we are not in a hurry." Combined, the two of us are less than forty-five. ”
Zhong Guoqing's attitude was very serious, and said: "Me and Ning Ning, my parents are gone, I am Ning Ning's parents, I suggest you think about this matter as soon as possible." I'm not only for the two of you, but also for the company, if you and Ning Ning become husband and wife, a lot of things in the company can be handed over to you. Guoning Company is getting bigger and bigger, and now I am short of people. I also know that cronyism in private enterprises is not good for family management, but there is no way, it is not easy to find a capable person these days, and it is even more difficult to find a loyal person, I have suffered losses. I have used some capable people in the past, major, highly educated, I sincerely love them, but Chinese all want to be their own boss, once their wings are hard and can fly solo, they still turn their faces with me! Our current competitors all followed me, and they all fattened me out. There are also people who look very honest and diligent, but they are greedy for the company's money behind their backs, and I found out. Or I'm tired right now. Although Ning Ning loves to take care of things, she is a woman, and she is still a little tender now, coupled with her temper, she has too many grievances in the company, and it is not a way to do it for a long time, so I wiped her ass. If you become part of our family, you can definitely help me a lot. You went to college, you are a man, and you are also smart, you follow me to study hard, and it won't take you a few years to practice. In the future, I will hand over the daily operation of the company to you, I am too tired all these years! ”
Zhong Guoqing said solemnly, and I listened seriously. He speaks earnestly, and I cannot listen to him to despise him. And to be honest, Zhong Guoqing is more than ten years older than me, and it is the first time for me to be so heart-wrenching like a confidant, and I am so deeply talked, so sincere, and so heartfelt, I am very moved, and my newly developed dedication has been encouraged again. I immediately made a statement: "Big brother, I listen to you, what will happen to me and Zhong Ning, you decide." ”
This ring of mine, my words, I didn't expect it in advance, even if I made a lifelong engagement with his sister Zhong Ning.
The wedding date was discussed by Zhong Guoqing and my dad again, of course my dad had no opinion, let Zhong Guoqing have full authority to make up his mind, and finally set it on a Sunday a month later, although it is not a festival day, but the yellow calendar says that this day is a good time, and it is appropriate to marry. And on Sundays, relatives and friends can also find time.
As soon as the good time was settled, Zhong Guoqing talked to me again in his office. His office is next to Zhong Ning's, the area is much larger, and the executive desk is more exquisite. Zhong Guoqing sat in the back of the executive desk, solemn and solemn, so that I had to sit opposite him with a deep face, and the atmosphere was completely like talking about work, in fact, we were talking about marriage, talking about housework.
Zhong Guoqing said: "I am such a sister, she is my only relative, and now I entrust her to you, can you be responsible for her to the end?" ”
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do what I can." ”
Zhong Guoqing looked at me a little unsatisfied, as if he was wondering what my somewhat ambiguous answer meant. He may have thought that I would be excited, that I would swear, that I would blush, but I didn't, my face was calm, and there was only such a statement that was not pleasant and reassuring, so he accentuated his tone and said:
"Before, I heard that I was quite close to a girl who worked as a temporary worker at the Beijing Normal Sports School, and now you still have a relationship?"
I was shocked, I didn't expect Zhong Guoqing to know about peace of mind, and I didn't expect him to mention this to me. I was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who did you listen to?" ”
Zhong Guoqing looked at me expressionlessly and said, "Now that you are settled with Ning Ning, you must pay attention to your behavior in this regard." I've been in the business circle for so many years, nothing else, just a lot of friends, what do you want to hide from me, it's not easy. I don't care about your previous affairs, from now on, don't bully Ning Ning. Besides, now that everyone knows about your relationship with Ning Ning, if you don't behave, won't it make me lose face. People in the business field can lose anything, and they can't lose face. ”
I bowed my head, speechless. After Zhong Guoqing drank the stick, he gave me a "carrot" with a pestle, changed the topic and said: "After you get married, if you are willing to live in Xiangjiang Garden, you can live there, anyway, the house of more than 400 meters is enough for you to live." If you want to live alone, I will buy you another apartment, whether it is an apartment or a villa, you can choose it yourself. Even if I am my brother's wedding gift to you. ”
Of course I don't want to live with Zhong Guoqing, and Zhong Ning also wants to find a place to live with me. So, Zhong Ning and I went out to see the house as soon as we had free time those days, and later Zhong Ning took a fancy to a villa in Fucheng Garden, which has a good house type, a good environment, and the property management looks high-grade, but it is too expensive. Zhong Ning went home and told her brother, and her brother also frowned. Zhong Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, this is my marriage, I will be this once in my life, I don't want to make do." Zhong Guoqing hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded. In those days, Zhong Ning was very happy about this, and she couldn't kiss me and her brother.
I'm happy, to be exact, a nervous thrill. But the nervous excitement will definitely not last, and it will not take long to be unsustainable. For me, marrying Zhong Ning may just be a choice for my life achievements and career development, rather than a genuine pursuit of personal feelings and family happiness. In those days, I tried my best to avoid thinking, to avoid asking myself, to avoid in-depth examination of my own heart and emotions. Because the question of which is more important than career success and emotional happiness is difficult for me to answer. Everything went naturally with the course of things, and I just thought that this step was going to happen sooner or later.
Although the marriage has not yet been concluded, I have moved into the Xiangjiang Garden, a villa of nearly 400 square meters, and I have a comfortable room. The room is equipped with a large bathroom, and the bathroom is equipped with a large bathtub, lying in the hot water of the bathtub, and when you look up, you can see the greenery outside the window.
In the company's business, Zhong Guoqing also began to cultivate me in a planned way. There are many important meetings in the company for me to observe, many big events for me to attend, and large and small customers to introduce to me one by one, so that I can accumulate knowledge, understand the situation, broaden my knowledge and become familiar with the relationship. He gave me a fictitious position as an assistant to the chairman of the Guoning Group, and my position in the engineering headquarters of the Guoning Taekwondo Gym has not been concurrently held since then.
So that day, at the groundbreaking ceremony of the project of the Guoning Taekwondo Gym, I appeared as the new position of assistant to the chairman, and the position of sitting was still in front of my original superior, Bian Xiaojun, the chief commander of the project. Bian Xiaojun was more polite when he saw me, and he took a bite of Mr. Yang, and he gave me goosebumps on my body.
Liu Minghao also went that day, with the red flower of "guest" hanging on his chest. He relied on his social connections and nominally owned 10 percent of the shares of the Longhua Building Decoration Company to attack the Guoning Group inside and outside, and finally won the bid as he wished, and got this big job of nearly 8 million yuan. Also present at the groundbreaking ceremony that day were the principal of the Beijing Normal Sports School, as well as several leaders of the District Sports Committee, and several out-of-fashion stars in the sports world. Everyone gathered around a leading cadre invited by Zhong Guoqing who had just retired but still had prestige, and everyone looked like they were celebrating each other and getting their own place.
The groundbreaking ceremony was very simple, the parties to the joint venture made speeches, and then the construction contractor, that is, the boss of Longhua Company, expressed his position. Then a few words of congratulations were given by specially invited sports celebrities. Then the guests each took a shovel, dug up a few shovels of soil, and threw them on the foundation monument, which meant the meaning. Then the spotlight flashed and flickered, leaving a memorial.
Then, it is to go to Wanjia Lighting Restaurant to have a foundation meal. When everyone was rumbling and rumbling to get into the car, I said in Zhong Ning's ear: "I'm not going, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, and I may have diarrhea." I don't want to eat this kind of social meal, a lot of people are coaxing, and it's boring. ”
Zhong Ning glanced at me, I let the sun bask for half a morning, my face was indeed a little flushed, a little sweat-stained, she said: "Then I won't go either, if you have a bad stomach, I'll accompany you to drink some porridge." ”
I said, "No, it's not good if you don't go, and your brother should be unhappy again." The last time I had a headache, he said I had a lot of trouble. You better go for it. ”
Zhong Ning said that it was okay, she instructed me a few words, and followed the large group of people into the car. I watched the cars rush away until they were covered by the dust raised from the construction site and then disappeared without a trace, and then I turned back and entered the Beijing Normal Sports School.
It wasn't time for lunch when I went straight to the taekwondo gym that was about to be demolished. There was a class in the hall, and I saw the coach, and before I could say politely, the coach shouted at me: "Yo, I heard that you are now the owner of our club, for the sake of the relationship between you and my teachers and students, you will have to give food in the future." ”
I smiled, not interested in talking to him, and I asked, "Is Anxin here today?" ”
"Who?"
"Rest assured, the handyman."
"Oh, she's gone. Are you looking for her? ”
"Gone? Got out today? ”
"She fired us here, and that was a few days ago. If others don't know, you should know. ”
"Expulsion!" I was taken aback, "Why?" ”
"I don't know, it's the club that opened it, I heard that this girl is more romantic outside, after all, we are a state-run club here, if something happens to her outside, it will not have a good impact on us here."
I was stunned for a long time, then turned around and left. The coach seemed to be saying something behind me, and I didn't hear it.
I raced to the hut where An'an was staying, the door locked. I peeked through the crack in the door, and I couldn't see anything inside in the dark. I ran to the office of the Jingshi Taekwondo Club again, and I saw the club's manager Ma coming out with a lunch box, apparently preparing to go to the cafeteria to eat. I know that Manager Ma very much hopes to continue to be the manager of the new joint venture Guoning Taekwondo Club, but in fact, Guoning Company is not satisfied with him, and he is not included in the list of going to eat the foundation meal today. Guoning Company was the first to be invited in by him and me, and now it seems that it is really a bit of a wolf into the room. I didn't care about greetings and comfort, and hurriedly asked:
"Manager Ma, why did Anxin get fired?"
"Peace of mind?" Manager Ma was about to make love to me, but when I came up, he asked with a straight eyebrow, and it took a long time to react before he said, "You mean the temporary worker here, right?" What's the matter, you know? ”
I explained randomly, "Ah, it's the sister of one of my classmates. What mistake did she make? ”
"Ah, it was your Guoning Company who proposed to open her. You are now our sports school's investment partner, a partner, and a major shareholder, and we can't disrespect your opinions. ”
"Proposed by Guoning Company?" I felt like someone had hit me with a stick, and I couldn't tell whether I was blinded or awake in my head, but I felt a sharp pain in my heart!
"Why? Who did she offend? "I knew what was going on, but I still subconsciously asked.
"I heard that this girl's life style is not very good, and she belongs to the kind of girl who is more chaotic and that in society, maybe she is still earning money outside with her face. If we knew about this kind of person, we wouldn't be able to keep it. ”
My chest was so choked that I could barely speak: "Why...... Why do they say that! ”
Manager Ma obviously didn't have any real evidence, and analyzed positively in a general way: "The people of your Guoning Company have a large social contact, I guess someone may know something about her." ”
I almost shouted loudly, "Then you guys, you should also investigate it!" Why do others say this, you don't even investigate and fire people, what do you eat? ”
Manager Ma was stunned, and seemed to feel that he couldn't be so angry for a classmate's sister, but he still patiently explained: "She is not a regular employee of ours here, and we can't go around to investigate her about these things, since the shareholder has put it forward, of course we believe the shareholder." On the other hand, if we don't open her, your company won't invest in us anymore, isn't it because of a small loss. ”
"She, where is she?" I'm in despair.
"I don't know, I've been gone for more than a month."
I understand, in terms of time, not long after Zhong Ning saw Anxin at my house that night, Anxin was driven away by them. It's been more than a month since this happened, and I didn't even know it. I was just getting married, choosing a villa, and buying furniture, and I didn't know that my peaceful life had actually ruined me.
I'm upset, I'm angry! I'm so sorry for her!
I didn't go back to Xiangjiang Garden that day, I went back to my cottage. I didn't eat lunch or dinner, and I didn't feel any hungry. I just feel angry! I'm so angry that I can't do anything about it! I had to shut myself up in my room, thinking about peace of mind.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Zhong Ning called me, and I called back. From the surrounding voices, I could tell which restaurant she was eating in. Zhong Ning said: Where are you, why does the mobile phone not turn on? I said I'm at home. She asked: In the Hong Kong Garden? I said, "No, I'm not going there."
I hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Zhong Ning arrived, banged on the door, I opened the door, and without looking at her, I turned around and sat back on the sofa. The room was dark and there was no light, Zhong Ning snapped and turned on the chandelier, and asked loudly: "What's wrong with you, who recruited you again?" No wonder my brother said you have a lot of things, you just have a lot of things! ”
I drank the water, ignored her, she snatched my cup with her hand, and her voice doubled: "You tell me clearly, what the hell are you going to do!" ”
I raised my eyes to stare at her, and I held my breath and asked slowly, "How do you know, that woman works in a taekwondo gym, who told you?" ”
Zhong Ning probably guessed why I was like this, and said without changing his face and heartbeat: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, what are you and her afraid of me knowing, ah?" ”
I suddenly shouted, "Who the hell said that!" ”
Zhong Ning was startled, I was also shocked, I had never yelled at Zhong Ning like this!
Zhong Ning stared at me, tears coming out. She trembled angrily and said, "Okay, I've always saved face for you and didn't break this matter, but you got angry at me instead." That's good, I'm waiting for you Yang Rui, if you don't make this matter clear to me and don't admit your mistakes to me, we're not done! ”
Zhong Ning finished her crying and slammed the door and left. I was holding back for a long time before I pressed the urge to break up with her.
Later, I learned that the "whistleblower" was Liu Minghao. Zhong Ning asked Liu Minghao about my relationship with girls, and asked from the diaper era to peace of mind. Liu Minghao didn't dare not say it, if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to get the project of the Guoning Taekwondo Gym, and the project was very important to whether he could get the ten percent of the dry shares. According to Liu Minghao's later explanation, everyone has to live.
yes, I don't have anything to say. Everybody has to live! This is an era in which material survival is paramount.
I also went to find Liu Minghao.
I didn't go to Liu Minghao for a few useless condemnations, I just needed Liu Minghao to tell me: Where did I go with peace of mind.
Liu Minghao himself is red-faced, a thousand are sorry, ten thousand are really embarrassed. I said coldly: Don't come to this set, don't set up a memorial arch when you become a **, you drive away the peace of mind, and you will get her back for me!
Liu Minghao said with a bitter face: "She, I guess I'm going back to my hometown, but I'm sure it's not okay to inquire for you." ”
The relationship between me and Zhong Ning was tense for a long time, and we didn't talk to each other. I don't go back to live in Xiangjiang Garden, nor do I take care of the decoration of the new house in Fucheng Garden, but I still go to work in the company every day. I didn't have anything specific to do at work, so I just read books and newspapers in the office, and I was consumed until I left after work. My dad called me in and scolded me, and when he scolded him, I didn't say a word anyway. Zhong Guoqing also talked to me once, and he was still so heartfelt and far-reaching, and he even made a few words of self-criticism: "Let them dismiss that girl is the leader of the sports school that Ning Ning is looking for, of course, I also know." This is a bit ruthless, and I also persuaded Ning Ning to let her talk to you in person and talk about the matter. But let's make this matter clear, first of all, it's your fault, you and that girl were handed over after you and Ning Ning got along. It is normal for Ning Ning to overreact to this matter a little. If she doesn't like you, that's it, she has every reason to blow it to you, and she can't get along with that woman. I think you should take the initiative to apologize to Ning Ning. As for Ning Ning, I also persuaded her. That's the end of it, okay? ”
I didn't apologize to Ning Ning. Why should I apologize, she should apologize, why should she harm people's peace of mind. I didn't apologize and didn't move back. Ning Ning ignored me, and when I met in the company, it was as if I didn't know each other. The cold war between the two of us has lasted for a long time, and almost everyone in the company knows about it. Some people still think I'm quite backbone, and they change their impression of me and think I'm a good person.
Our scheduled wedding date arrived, and after it passed, no one even mentioned the marriage of my father and Zhong Guoqing. However, I heard Ning Ning's driver say that Ning Ning is still busy decorating the house in Fucheng Garden every day, and is still busy choosing furniture and curtains everywhere, and the fabric of the curtains has been selected for people to do. The furniture was almost bought. The driver also told me that she also ordered a set of fitness equipment that I saw in "Liyi" last time.
Liu Minghao came to my house that night, saying that it was okay to pass by here to see if I was still alive. He made himself a pot of tea and sat down to talk, and as soon as he said the first two sentences, I heard that he was Zhong Ning's envoy when he came here today. He said what kind of temper are you playing, Zhong Ning is also the boss of your company no matter what, and besides, you owe it to your side to take care of this matter, what do you × bull about. Zhong Ning is just good for you, I like you as a young boy, or I will abolish you sooner. Today, when she saw me and talked to me for a long time, she said that she really wanted to kick you, but she felt reluctant to think about it. I told her that I would come here today to persuade you to make a compensatory payment for her. Guess what Zhong Ning said, she said forget it, I know he won't apologize to me, I don't know Yang Rui's temper, and his self-esteem is strong. Who made him a man, give him this face. Look at other people's minds, I really didn't see it before, it's much better than you!
I didn't react. But asked: "Let you find peace of mind, have you found it?" ”
Liu Minghao blinked, and held back for a long time before he said: "Do you say that I told you or not." ”
I was a little surprised: "You found it?" ”
Liu Minghao hated iron and said: "If I really tell you, I will actually ruin you, you said that you and Zhong Ning are both virtuous, why do you still think about your love!" Do you have to destroy your future for such a girl who can't open your bubble! ”
I glared at Liu Minghao: "Tell me where she is!" ”
Liu Minghao was silent for a long time, hesitated, and said: "I'm going to tell you, Zhong Ning can't fight with me if he knows." ”
I said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Zhong Ning." ”
"Can you really promise not to tell her?"
"I told her what to do, I'm sick!"
"It's not certain, when the two of them are good, they can say anything. Catch up Ming'er, when are you getting tired of Zhong Ning again, and betray me next to the pillow again, will I still deal with Guoning Company in the future? ”
I blushed and said, "Which of us betrayed whom!" ”
Liu Minghao was speechless for a while: "Okay, okay, I betrayed you, I'm a traitor, okay?" Don't use traitors as spies anymore, don't ask me about peace of mind, I don't know. What are you saying you are doing with these two girls and stirring me in! ”
I said, "Big brother, please, can't you?" I don't have anything more with Anxin, I just want to apologize to her. If she has any difficulties, I can help her, or I will always be unable to get through it in my conscience. ”
Liu Minghao smiled: "Ouch, ouch, I really didn't see which girl you could find out about before." Then he smiled, sighed again, and laughed at himself, "I only understand now, being a traitor agent is actually the hardest." Okay, then I'll destroy you again today. Tell you, you are at ease, now in the Third Ring Furniture City to help people sell furniture! ”
