Chapter 281: You're Still a Man
Shen Zilu hesitated.
Tao Xiru had an embarrassed expression, his hand unconsciously rubbed on his leg, and although Shen Zilu was embarrassed to see his embarrassed reaction, he still said:
"Lao Tao, such a big thing, we can't hide it from him. There is such a big gap in the company's accounts, I have to give him an explanation," Shen Zilu sighed, "Make it clear to him, he will understand you." β
Tao Xiru's eyebrows tightened, and he was silent for a while but still insisted on shaking his head.
"Xiaolu, please, don't tell him."
Shen Zilu tried to comfort Tao Xiru, "You're worried that he will make you responsible?" β
Tao Xiru shook his head.
"So what are you worried about?"
Tao Xiru still shook his head and didn't want to say.
"You don't say how can I help you?"
Tao Xiru's eyebrows moved, he opened his mouth, and finally didn't say the sentence buried in his heart...... I don't want to be looked down upon by him.
"Alas......" Shen Zilu sighed, looked at his watch and said, "Think about it again, I'll come to see you again in the evening." β
"Don't come at night, it's not safe when it's dark."
Shen Zilu saw that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his love path was not smooth and he broke up, so he couldn't bear to let him alone in this courtyard. He said, "I'll buy vegetables and come over for dinner in the evening, you can wait for me." β
Tao Xiru was silent before saying, "...... Oh. β
"I'll go first."
Tao Xiru sent her to the door, and Shen Zilu said: "Don't send it, go take a shower, shave your beard, and change into clean clothes, I don't want to eat with a sloppy ghost at night." β
He scratched at his unkempt hair, "Hmm. β
Walking out of the courtyard, Shen Zilu seemed to be pressing a big stone in his heart, the final payment was not a small amount, the architects and surveyors in the company who participated in the Dawson project were waiting for the bonus to be paid, and now that the money was gone, what would be done to pay the staff performance this month.
She was worried all the way to the company, and she closed the car door and sighed heavily.
"Alas......" How to solve everyone's practical problems?
As soon as I entered the company, I saw Lu Ruitian signing for the express mail at the door, and saw her busy and said: "Little boss, there are two international pieces here, one of which was sent by Brother Xing." β
Shen Zilu took it, "Thank you." β
Returned to the position and opened the package with a paper cutter, and there was a starry sky table lamp in the box, and the card read: Look~at~the~, look~how~y~shine~for~you.ββTo~my~girl
[The stars in the sky are all shining for you. - The girl for me]
Shen Zilu smiled, and there were miscellaneous snacks in it, all of which were her favorite flavors. The other email was an architectural design contract from an American company, which needed to be stamped with the company's official seal.
In the afternoon, Shen Zilu was immersed in busy work, but once she stopped, the troubles of the Dawson project weighed on her like a boulder. This is especially deep in adulthood. In the workplace, we will encounter more or less such problems, some are easy to be resolute, and some require us to spend a lot of energy to solve, but they still make us anxious.
After getting off work, Shen Zilu bought some meat and eggs on the way, and when he arrived at the courtyard, Tao Xiru was drying his washed clothes, his beard was shaved after taking a bath, and even his hair was neatly combed, and he looked much more refreshed.
"Old Tao."
Tao Xiru looked over the clothesline when he heard the sound, "It's rare to see you get off work on time." β
Shen Zilu walked to the kitchen with the dishes, "What do you want to eat at night?" β
"Whatever," Tao Xiru followed the person to the door of the kitchen and said, "If there is someone to cook for you, what else is there to choose." β
"Huh?" Shen Zilu looked at him before entering the kitchen, "In the past, who always thought that my cooking was not delicious." β
When it came to his previous life, the smile on Tao Xiru's face stiffened, and Shen Zilu didn't hear a response for a long time, and when he turned around, he disappeared again. muttered in his heart, and left silently.
Shen Zilu fried two vegetarian dishes and a meat dish, brought them to the table and shouted to the people in the East House, "Lao Tao, it's time to eat." β
The person came out of the east house, still carrying a bottle of wine in his hand, Shen Zilu stared at the wine, "Still drinking?" β
Tao Xiru snorted sullenly, he is now suffering from insomnia, and he can't sleep at night without drinking.
"Don't drink it." Shen Zilu took away the wine on the table, put a bowl of hot rice in front of him, and said, "The injury is not healed yet, drinking alcohol has an impact on wound healing, eat more." β
Tao Xiru looked at the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, recalled his past life, and naturally thought of her again. The scene at the door of the laboratory appeared in his mind again, and the sourness in his heart was instantly overwhelmed by anger, he picked up the bowl and ate with his head down, Shen Zilu looked at the person opposite and didn't say anything.
"Today the company received another overseas project, I brought the contract, you can see it after a while, no problem, I will get the contract department to seal it tomorrow."
Tao Xiru's chewing movements slowed down, "...... Good. β
No matter where he is, he will get the project for the company, on the other hand, he finally talked about the project, and it made a very ugly end.
After dinner, Shen Zilu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Tao Xiru went back to the room to read the contract. This is a renovation project for a resort winery, and the design fee is very objective. He was not convinced, he could also do this kind of project, if he didn't have the title of an exchange student at a prestigious school, the owner might not be able to afford him, Tao Xiru thought, if he had studied abroad, he could have mixed well now.
Shen Zilu passed by the window, Tao Xiru sorted out the contract and put it aside, she asked, "Is there any problem with the content of the contract?" β
"Nope."
Shen Zilu took the contract he handed over, "Then I'll stamp the reply." β
"Okay."
Tao Xiru saw her pull out a chair and sit down, with a posture of having something to talk about, and he guessed what she was going to talk about.
"Old Tao, let's talk."
Tao Xiru pretended not to understand, "What are you talking about?" β
"Dawson's business, I think you might as well tell him about it."
Tao Xiru was silent.
Shen Zilu persuaded bitterly: "We can't hide it, he will know sooner or later." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I still say the same thing, we are friends, there should be no hiding between friends, he will understand you."
"Xiaolu," Tao Xiru interrupted her abruptly, and Shen Zilu waited for his next explanation.
She guessed that the reason why Tao Xiru was afraid of Dawson's affairs was that he didn't want to explain to Guan Zhengxing the losses he had brought to the company, for fear that he would scold him; But Tao Xiru's real thought in his heart is, I have been green by you, and now I have to be pressed by you, I want to see him laugh? When pigs fly.
Once the human heart is filled with resentment and anger, the balance of emotion and reason is thrown out of balance.
Suspicion arises, and what you didn't think was a problem in the past becomes an unforgivable fault in an unbalanced state of mind.
He said: "I have half of the shares in the company, which means that I have half of the right to speak, and the two of us are equal in the company, so why should I tell him?" I can't call the shots in the company anymore? β
Shen Zilu said: "You misunderstood what I meant. β
"I didn't misunderstand," Tao Xiru stood up, a little emotional, "I carry Dawson's affairs alone, and the performance of all employees is deducted from my annual salary." β
"Lao Tao, you really misunderstood what I meant."
Tao Xiru lit a cigarette irritably, "You are Guan Zhengxing's girlfriend, but you are only an accountant title in the company, and I have to make up my mind about big and small things." β
Shen Zilu said: "Lao Tao, you are too excited now, can we talk calmly?" β
"I'm not excited." He smoked a cigarette and turned his back to the person.
Shen Zilu's heart is also irritable, but she can't be excited about the current situation, if she quarrels today, how will she get along in the future.
"No matter who is responsible for the final outcome of this matter and who bears the consequences, I don't think these are things that we can personally decide, and we need legal justice and a notarized judgment."
Tao Xiru couldn't listen to it at all, he just didn't want Guan Zhengxing to know that he had been deceived. I always feel like a fool.
"Okay," Shen Zilu took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and said, "If we don't explain the problem clearly, how can we explain it when he sees it?" β
"What's the explanation, who doesn't have a clumsy eye, I just look at a project wrong?"
Shen Zilu felt that his words were too irresponsible, "Think about it, if he was deceived today, what do you think he would do?" β
"Heh......" Tao Xiru snorted disdainfully, "he won't tell me either." β
"No, it won't!" Shen Zilu was very sure, "I dare to use my life as a guarantee that he will definitely talk to you as soon as possible." β
Tao Xiru's eyelashes trembled slightly, "...... I just don't want to tell him anyway. β
Shen Zilu's anger that had been holding back for a day finally broke out, "Tao Xiru, if you are still a man, explain your words to Guan Zhengxing." No, you will live in this courtyard for the rest of your life. β
She picked up her contract and slammed the door.
