Chapter 168 I hope you can live in peace
After we had a sumptuous dinner with the pony Rokumon, after I said goodbye to them at the door, I had just opened the iron car door when I heard a voice, "I'll close the door, the young master is good, the cat girl is good." "This is the voice of the housekeeper Wu Ma.
"Oh, of course you can, you shouldn't be so quiet, Mother Wu, you also scared me a lot, I didn't hear you open the door."
"I came out to look for you, and the old man said he wanted to see you." My aunt looked at me with undisguised contempt and the pony six gates scattered around me. My jaw tensed suddenly, and I must not let this Wu Ma's housekeeper's arrogance and rudeness go unchecked.
I frowned and looked at the brocade, which was grimacing at me, and he smiled and said to me: "It's okay, the old man is fine, I'll come over to accompany you later, I'll go take a shower first, it's hot enough today." ”
Seeing that he had been busy all day, and deliberately said that the casino came to me, I decided to go to the old man myself. In front of Wu's mother, I walked into the old man's room full of vigor and hummed a song.
I just entered the door, and I just wanted to say hello to Mr. Wang, but Mr. Wang didn't give me a chance to speak: "You see that you are untidy, your hair is messy, and you are still wearing men's clothes, your fake paste has not been torn off, where is everyone's beautiful demeanor?" Do you know that you represent the image of Mian'er," he said coldly, "and it disrupts my family's schedule, and when you lose too much money in the casino, the meal time has passed." ”
I huffed and bit the meat bait: "Don't worry about my business in the future, the casino is originally an open matter for your family, aren't you allowed to gamble?" ”
The old man half-covered the glint in his eyes with his eyelids: "What do you think about the winning general in the casino?" He asked calmly.
"If you were to say that the winning generals in the casino, I can only consider them to be successful and hardworking people, and I respect what they have achieved in the casino."
The old man put down another fishhook. "I guess what you think of as the Black Face is also a person worthy of your admiration, right?"
"That's right, Xiao Hong Kong is a powerful person."
"I believe that's the impression that his profession is trying to make, do you know that he was once a murderer who killed other people's entire families? It's because I helped him, got him out of the death penalty, and then served me, of course, if Jin'er hadn't arrived in time, then your result today would be to lose your whole body, and no one could save you! Because you can't know how many people are following you when you enter the casino, Jin'er was going to sign a bigger contract this afternoon, but because of you, he chose to give up, and I don't know if others are willing to continue to give him this contract? Why don't you take care of his mood and his business? Is this something a friend should do? The old man continued to speak coldly.
I gasped like a fish caught ashore, it couldn't be true.
Little Hong Kong is actually a murderer.
I almost became someone else's fish.
That Jintang actually postponed the signing of a big contract for me, and this contract is very important to the sect, and in the current entanglement between the sect and several major families, a bigger voice is needed to support a bigger future.
There is a huge gap between me and Na Jintang's way of life, too big to ignore, no wonder the old man is worried, he wants to find a week for her to let you silently support him behind the back, instead of influencing him in the front.
I just really just want to cry, in happiness, freedom and love, these three choices, it's really hard to choose.
I also looked at the old man worriedly, would he know that in addition to Liu Xun, I had killed another person?
Old man Wang had closed his eyes, he seemed to be asleep at any time like other older people, I walked out of the room on tiptoe, and when I walked out of the room and closed the door, the old man smiled slightly, and then fell asleep.
On the second day, I didn't go out to play, I accompanied Mr. Wang and Na Jintang to the company. This time, I have resumed the duties of Secretary-General, my nervous personal secretary, to be exact.
Today is an important agreement on cooperation with foreign businessmen. Mr. Wang was dressed in an old-fashioned costume, a satin coat and a velvet black coat, with a medallion pinned to the company's highest execution, and a small black hat on his head.
The three of us sat in a small car together, and when we were in the car, Mr. Wang and the camera did not forget to discuss some things today, and I seemed to be concerned about you always at work.
On the way to the office, I knew a person silently watching the scenery outside. Old man Wang, who had just taken a nap, suddenly looked back at me again: "When the contract is signed in a while, you have to pay attention to four copies." ”
"Okay." I replied a little absent-mindedly.
When I agreed on a meeting time and place with others, this is a conference room for foreigners, which is elegantly decorated and has a strong academic atmosphere, which is very consistent with the original intention of the building. On the walls are all kinds of antique map sketches, huge brass lamps hanging from the ceiling, and white glass gas lamps hanging high on the ceiling, bright white projected down. It's a very serious and discreet environment, for me, looking for shady corners. It's boring, it's too boring.
I suddenly felt a little frightened, I was a girl who grew up in the wilderness, and now I suddenly have to work as a regular job, it seems that it really doesn't suit me, I want more than a kind of freedom, a kind of freedom to break through myself. And now this job is tightly binding on me.
This is obviously a very professional job, they can recruit a full-time person to do this, why push people like me to the front line to deal with this kind of thing that makes my brain ache?
"Cat Ninety-Nine." Mr. Wang grabbed my arm and gently pushed me towards the other row of receptionists, his fingers as cold as zombies.
I stood in the front row with a smiling waitress who welcomed guests one by one. I will also lead, shake their hands and say that I am happy to be here.
The boring and boring negotiation lasted for three hours, and after a break in the meeting, I slumped on Najintang's shoulder. "I'm not feeling well," I said, "Najintang, I suddenly feel so uncomfortable." ”
Old Man Wang walked over quietly: "Don't get sick in this joint, stand up straight, don't let people down, and leave only after the end of the meeting." ”
I had no choice but to continue to straighten my back and continue to sit on the stool seriously. Old Man Wang is such a monster, no wonder I have never heard him mentioned before. He really didn't have anything to say.
The meeting was finally over, the contract was signed, I greeted all the reception staff with a smile, and I accompanied Mr. Wang to leave slowly.
Then we went to the company to deal with a lot of things, and I was busy like a handyman. But I behaved very unprofessionally, and Najin Tang never blamed me. I looked at the Jinxiu focused work, and I couldn't help but worry about him, because I was really worried that I was not professional, and I would affect his work efficiency and quality.
At 6:00 p.m., Najin Tang still had a party to deal with, and he was considerate that I didn't need to accompany him, so he asked the driver to send me back first.
I hurried to the crowd and came outside the house. I gulped in the fresh air and ran away. Under the light, my crowd sparkled on the steps, on the luxurious red carpet, unfolding behind me, as if flying in the air, and my skirt was dragged.
That Jintang arranged a full-time driver to run over nervously and ask where I was going? I gasped: "Take me to my house." "I think this matter, time should belong to my free time, I go to play with my friends, this should also be reasonable, no one can blame me, don't I have the freedom to socialize with friends? I've been working hard all day, and it's not for me.
If I go along this city, give me a good turn, I look at this bustling city through the window, it is really a ten-mile ocean, and every face looks so unfamiliar. When we first came to this city, we came with a great future, whenever night falls, people will seem the most lonely time, the story of things and people, in the dark it seems extraordinarily clear.
In the past, I always faced the crisis alone, sometimes I refused to admit the help I needed, and then more often I had no way to turn for help, but now it is different, my body has experienced this change one step ahead of you, now someone has helped me, my friend Pony Rokumen has been sheltered, someone has lifted the burden from my shoulders, I am no longer alone, I can finally relax completely.
I had to go back inside the mansion at the allotted time, and I couldn't stay outside for too long. It had been too busy for those days, and he probably didn't have time to care how much I longed to leave the mansion that had been so confined to me, and to look for a little joy.
I barely made it home. I ran up the stairs with my shoes and my skirt clasped between my arms, my lips tightened to avoid a big laugh, and it was fun to writhe once in a while as long as I could avoid punishment.
However, I did not escape punishment, Mr. Wang absolutely could not understand what I was doing, let me understand myself, and, therefore, aroused my complex emotions, this entanglement in my heart warring, I don't know why, the more Mr. Wang is eager to turn me into a famous lady, in the words of that Jintang, the kind of roughness, energy, courage in my blood, and the famous lady is really a little incompatible.
To be honest, I don't know who I am. If that's what the brocade says, what would my mother be like? Sometimes I'm also curious about ideas. What kind of woman is she, have I inherited hers, and does my good body and fair skin come from her?
I don't know if it's my nature that is in conflict with my life experiences. The outside world attracts me like a magnet, the vitality and joy of the outside world, like the call of my nature. But now I can't respond without scruples, I promised the Jintang, and promised the old man Wang not to be presumptuous. Keep the disciple business on well.
If I'm gone, what will happen to Jintang? This is related to the livelihood of thousands of sect disciples, if he is like me, all the importance will be on his shoulders.
Thinking of this dilemma, I don't understand what makes me so miserable, I am dazed in the quiet rooms of the old man's house, blind to the meticulous beauty of the surrounding furnishings, full of thoughts, the outside world hopes from the bottom of my heart, to the outside world to go to the outside world to break into the rivers and lakes, but I tell me in my heart that I want to be with the splendid wind and rain.
Don't think about this for the time being, I decided categorically, I will be thinking about him in the future, and I want to think about how to help Najin Tang get through this difficult time together.
I sat in the garden and waited for the brocade to come back, and I didn't come back until 10:00 p.m. After taking a bath, the brocade came to me in the garden, which was a rare time for us to spend alone during this time, and we cherished this comfort.
I snuggled up to him in the moonlight, he hugged me quietly, and he said to me very gently: "You have also worked hard today, I am sorry, the company has too many affairs and does not have much time to accompany you, so you have to face the old father often." To you, your father is already a serious old man, but when he was young, he was a real giant, he was jealous and hateful, full of innocence, and he wanted to do more for his people. Maybe you don't believe it, but my father is actually a scholar, not a fierce old man you see in front of you. He has been strict with you during this time, in fact, I know that she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, he has always wanted to shape you into a real housekeeper hostess, in his heart he has already admitted you, it is he who has not said it, he has always regarded you as my daughter-in-law, this is not a strange old man, at the same time he is also a lonely old man, when you came, I think he was a lot happier, so I have to sincerely thank you, wife. ”
At the end of Najintang's speech, his voice became very slow, and I felt that my eyes happened, and I was completely fascinated by the story and voice of the old man.
After we held hands and walked silently for a while, Na Jintang spoke again, "Father has a noble dream and established a new sect, he really wants to make the greatest contribution to this hometown, and he is indeed a very outstanding person, I will tell you slowly in the future." ”
"Well, you must love him very much?"
"Yes, I love my father very much, and I want you to live in peace."
"One day, I will take you to see it in my father's footsteps."
I was stunned, it was hard for me to imagine what kind of things the old man in this story had done and what kind of road he had? I can imagine that he must have been holding his chest out, defending, like he always does, and I can't help but chuckle.
Na Jinchang also smiled: "Take your time one thing at a time." ”
I smiled brightly.
