Looking at Huang Jianliang, who treated coffee as boiled water, drinking cup after cup of endless water, Luo Qiong's heart was faintly touched. Brother, how should your stomach be good if you drink like this...... Isn't there a perforated stomach, how can you drink like this?

Luo Qiong didn't know that there is another place in the world called Wall Street, where employees in order to maintain their energy at work, there is more than just drinking coffee. Even some of the more inappropriate tactics, such as alcoholism, such as attracting followers, have long been an open secret. In life, if you want to have more, you have to sacrifice more.

This is the inevitable reincarnation of ordinary people.

It's sad, but it's helpless.

Sure enough, when Huang Jianliang drank almost three-quarters of the coffee in his hand, the man's hand trembled. Apparently he had suffered a stomach attack because of the heavy drinking of alcohol in the previous days, coupled with the unrestrained consumption of espresso.

Because of the strong pain, his hands trembled slightly, and beads of sweat sprung up from his forehead like mushrooms after a rain, and Huang Jianliang's face was now pale. Quickly save unfinished documents, pour out leftover coffee, and boil yourself a pot of boiled water. Curled up on the couch like a cat, but he didn't have the slightest idea of resting, he was still looking at the whiteboard and the names written on it.

Because it is boiled directly with mineral water, the water in the kettle is only heated to a slight heat and can be drunk, and a large handful of stomach medicine is turned out of the drawer, stuffed into the mouth, and after a while of chewing, he drank warm boiled water and swallowed it together.

Curled up in his chair and rested for less than ten minutes, the pain seemed to be relieved a little.

At least his hands weren't shaking anymore.

I rubbed my face, went to the bathroom attached to the study, washed my face with cold water, returned to the bookshelf and chose a book for myself, and read it page by page under the soft light. Probably for the sake of resting his brain, the book that Huang Jianliang chooses to hold in his hand now is not profound, at best it is only an entry-level level, but it seems to be the one he likes quite a lot, dense reading notes, almost every gap on the page, and it can even be said that those small characters are more than the number of words in the book itself.

Because of the number of times I have been touched by the palm of my hand, the pages of this book reflect a strange luster.

Glancing at the time on the desk, 5 a.m., it was really desperate.

Luo Qiong, who was standing behind him, read page by page as he flipped through the pages, after all, he was a person who had gone to college, although the major was wrong, but the entry-level book plus Huang Jianliang's own reading notes, she could read six or seven points to understand. As for those who don't understand, write them down and slowly understand them in the future.

"It turns out that this is management, this is human resources...... Population resources, human resources, human resources...... Motivate, inspire, and execute efficiently...... It turns out that you need to get along with your boss, peers, and subordinates in this way......"

She read them one by one, Luo Qiong studied financial accounting in college, and compared to the almost rigid and rigid subject, human resources were relatively much more flexible and interesting, and she quickly fell into it.

Joy, pleasure, and the pleasure of being enriched seemed to sublimate her soul, and Luo Qiong was so excited.

2 hours slipped through her palm unconsciously, and Huang Jianliang closed the whole book, and she was suddenly liberated from the state of completely detaching herself from reality and falling into a certain realm. Seeing the book being closed and then re-stuffed into the shelf, Luo Qiong stomped her feet and squeaked in a hurry.

Hey, don't turn it off, I haven't finished reading it yet.

Although it is a professional-level book, I have to say that the author does write it very attractively, and these days, even if it is a professional book, it is necessary to consider the issue of sales, no. She finally knew why Huang Jianliang liked this book so much.

Entering the bathroom and washing his face seriously, probably because of the whole night of sleeplessness, Huang Jianliang's complexion looked very bad, and even dark circles and eye bags came out. Look at that extent, it is definitely not caused by two accumulations a day.

Why didn't she notice that this man was so haggard before?

The information given to her by the messenger really said that Huang Jianliang was only 28 years old, but judging from his current appearance, he was more than 38 years old.

He seriously washed his face with facial cleanser, and then he applied a strong anti-inflammatory ointment to the bags under his eyes to quickly reduce the swelling. After that, it's about makeup, that's right, makeup. Eliminate bad complexion, dilute dark circles or something, in today's society, not only women must pay attention to grooming, even men, you must know that the face party is a force that cannot be ignored.

Seeing Huang Jianliang clean up himself from a weak and emaciated patient to a glorious male god, I don't know why, Luo Qiong's heart is tumbling with countless thoughts. Life is not easy for anyone.

It's not easy for anyone.

A thought that raced through her mind, she stretched out her hands but didn't grasp them.

packed everything up and entered his cloakroom, a very small one, at best, it was just a large cabinet, compared to Sun Xiaoyou's, it was so cold that it didn't taste good. Huang Jianliang's cloakroom is next to the study, it seems that this man seems to have a habit of treating the study as a bedroom, this is really a desperate child.

Because of Norel's car accident and hospitalization, the entire villa maid system can be said to be leaderless, Huang Jianliang entered the kitchen to confirm the breakfast arrangement, because Sun Xiaoyou likes to eat freshly baked bread, so the man stayed by the oven until the fragrance of new baked bread overflowed the entire kitchen, and then left. Then go to Sun Xiaoyou's room to wake up his little master. All night, he was like a spinning top, not giving himself a minute to rest at all, not even a minute.

Everything he has revolves around Sun Xiaoyou, his employer, as he himself said.

Wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Luo Qiong, who was following closely behind him, had a complicated expression, although according to her own wishes, she didn't want to deal with this man for at least a month in the future, but how could that kind of resistance improve her current situation? No.

At best, it only makes others look down on her even more.

There are some things, after a fait accompli, before she has enough ability to resist, she doesn't want to be a clown. This is a law that must be followed when living by her mother's side, but it is a pity that for the entire twenty-six years before that, she has not accumulated enough energy to live independently from her mother...... I hope this time, I hope these 49 days can give him what he wants.

I don't know why, at this moment, Luo Qiong's heart was attached to Huang Jianliang like never before, she knew, she knew that all the reasons why this man was like this, poverty, perseverance, and determination slowly took away people's normal minds.

The thought that had flown through her mind before came back to her, and this time she held it tightly.

What came to mind again was a pair of eyes, a woman's eyes, arrogant, resolute but with a faint pain, these eyes were the eyes of a sister in my mother's mother's family. Luo Qiong called her Sister Xiao Wu.

The thoughts continued to move forward, and Xiao Wu's whole person appeared in her mind, it was a short and capable woman like a wild cat, with short hair that was almost round, a pointed face, slender limbs but strong muscles, because of the severe hunger when she was a child, her body was so petite that she could compete with Sun Xiaoyou for the penultimate one.

Because her mother married into that kind of remote area, and people in that era did not control childbirth, Xiao Wu's mother gave birth to a total of five children. Four women and one man. Probably because of fate, after Xiao Wu's mother gave birth to five children in a row, her husband died of severe liver disease. In such an era, cirrhosis of the liver and ascites was undoubtedly a declaration of death for an ordinary farmer. There was almost no treatment, just a little pain-relieving herbs, and in less than half a year, people went, leaving a room full of children and a wife who seemed to be the sky had fallen.

Sister Xiao Wu's mother is undoubtedly a strong woman, in such a difficult era, she only relied on her own strength to feed all five children, and none of them starved to death, but this is already the limit, and it is a complete dream to raise something. Because of the limited ability to raise children, the first three daughters all married early to reduce the burden on the family.

Sister Xiao Wu is the youngest girl in the family, but she has not received a little preferential treatment because of this, she is a very good and strong person, she has worked hard since she was a child, and wants to use knowledge to change the fate of herself and her mother, but how can her mother, who was completely destroyed by her life, allow her wishful thinking. When Xiao Wu's sister was studying, her mother burned her textbooks, and beat and forced her to give up her studies like a normal peasant child and work in the fields, so that her reputation could spread and she would marry into a good family.

In those years, men married wives because they wanted free bed warmers, free labor, and free babysitters. Although these things are available outside, they all cost money, and marrying a wife back home does not cost money.

If you run it well, you can even make a small profit.

Mother's obsession did not change Sister Wu's mind, even if the teaching books are gone, she has to learn, even if her mother says that she is not allowed to eat when she reads, and she is not allowed to study when she eats, she has to learn. Even if her mother said that she was not allowed to wear clothes and shoes to school, she still had to learn. In those most difficult years, with the help of her sisters who married early, she did not starve to death, and her studies were able to continue, but it was almost delusional to want to live a better life. Until the age of eighteen she didn't even have a pair of shoes of her own, and even in the coldest winters she had a single coat to keep warm.

Sister Xiao Wu exercised herself like a boy, wrapped her breasts with strips of cloth, she didn't admit that she was a woman, she wanted to be stronger, she wanted to be stronger. Exercising and practicing martial arts can make her physique enough to cope with the cold winter, because for a child like her, illness is almost equal to death. And those who dared to look down on her, and she taught them like men.

She didn't have a coat of her own until she entered college, but despite this, no one could twist her.

From this point alone, Luo Qiong admires this little sister Wu 120,000 points.

At least that's the kind of thing she Luo Qiong can't do.

After graduating from college, with the help of her brother, who entered society early, she began to develop her own career. I can't wait to put all the time I work 24 hours a day. Fighting hard is simply relying on your life. Finally, after the age of 35, she had her own inheritance, which was not too much, only about 10 million, but at this time, retribution came.

As the saying goes, when you are young, you exchange your life for money, and when you are old, you exchange money for your life.

Because she was squeezed too hard when she was young, because she continued to be completely squeezed as an adult, she crushed herself completely before she was 40 years old, and all that was left was to wait, waiting for death to take her away in the end. Even spending all her possessions wouldn't make her live one more day.

Luo Qiong will always remember that the miserable little sister Wu returned to her hometown that day and was ready to spend the last days of her life quietly. The faces of those relatives at that time. In front of the little fifth sister, they flattered and asked for money one by one. "Ahh They rubbed their fingers together and asked for money.

And she satisfied them one by one.

But Luo Qiong knew that her aunts, and even her own mother said a lot of cool things about Sister Xiao Wu behind her back, and even sometimes said it was okay in front of her. "I think I'm a man's madman, what a rush, what a rush, what a life, what a troublemaker. A good girl, a bad marry, learn what kind of man to break into the world. Is the world so easy to navigate? So many big men went in and grunted, what can she do with a mere girl. ”

"It's not, what good can a woman who can't even get married do."

At that moment, her mother was so proud, Luo Qiong knew what her mother meant, she was showing off and showing that she was a woman who had been married and had given birth to children, although her husband betrayed her marriage later, but at least she once had. Sometimes, people's vanity is so inexplicable, so strange that even misfortune and misery can become the object of vanity.

These people have all forgotten that they still have the money that Little Fifth Sister exchanged for her life, either tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.

This money is the guarantee of their future life. At least Luo Qiong's family is like this, relying on the help of Sister Xiao Wu, the life of the mother and daughter has finally returned to normal, and they no longer suffer from twists and turns because of their father's departure, but Luo's mother is not grateful at all.

Not even the slightest bit.

And she, Sister Xiao Wu, smiled faintly like that, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

When a person's life comes to the last moment, but the grim reaper is smiling by her side, when everything is empty, what can disturb her heart. But when the sun is about to set, will she still be troubled by the darkness that is coming?

That smile was deeply imprinted in Luo Qiong's heart like that, and that smile was just the same as what Huang Jianliang showed on weekdays. came with great ambitions, but could only return with a feather, unwilling? Suffering? Maybe a little resignation.

Looking at the voice of the man in front of her, Luo Qiong was thinking that maybe one day this Huang Jianliang would also spell himself into it like Sister Xiao Wu. A man under the age of thirty has already lost his youthful foundation, and God knows what will happen to him. Is it to die like Sister Xiao Wu, or is it ......

At such an instant, Luo Qiong's heart was full of pain, nostalgia for the dead, and grief for the living.

There is also a little sadness about the future that I can't predict at all.

Like a moth that pounces on a flame, sad but helpless.
