Chapter 280: Mediating the Crisis
The infinite Danqing hand in the world can't be painted with a sad heart.
A person's psychological space, the sorrow and troubles contained are limited, the moon is full, the water is full, the water is overflowing, the complacency is defeated, and the self-restraint is foolish, just like my marriage with Wang Ling, before I feel the slightest happiness, it ended hastily.
That night, Brother Za booked a barbecue restaurant, and after the employees got off work, almost all of them came here to celebrate the smooth preparation of the branch and the successful opening of the branch outside the province.
My eyes and mouth were crooked, and my expression was wooden, and the scumbag brother was afraid that I would drink too much and delay the trip, so he took away the wine glass in my hand and whispered: "You drink less, you have to go out tomorrow." ”
"It's fine."
I rubbed my dry eyes, leaned back in my chair, and saw a few colleagues at the other table, who were drinking with fists, laughing and scolding, so lively, men and women gathered together, throwing away the pressure of work, releasing their own nature, drinking heartily, having fun, it seemed that all the troubles were quietly gone away because of the stimulation of alcohol.
I lit a cigarette, looked at the scumbag brother and said, "Or, you will also go with me to develop outside the province?" ”
Brother Scumbag glanced at me and said lightly: "You are the boss, you have the final say in the personnel transfer, you don't have to ask for my opinion." ”
I sighed and said, "Brother scumbag, work is work, life is life, I hope you can go with me, and there will be a care over there." ”
"Would you like to be sober?"
Brother Scumbag took a sip of wine and continued: "Now that you are the backbone of the company, and the employees have seen the disputes in your family, if you are acting decadent now, or working in a mess, how can you convince the public?" ”
He saw that I was in a state of mind, drunk and hazy, and occasionally let out a few heavy sighs, so he patted me on the shoulder and said: "Although the headquarters is on the right track, there must also be a shrewd person to lead, not to mention that in this sensitive period, the company has mixed in with internal ghosts, Zhang Xueyao, Qin Li, Jin Chen, Qin Xiaolan, all go with you to work outside the province, if I pat my ass and go with you, then the headquarters is not homeless?" ”
Brother Scumbag said everything is reasonable, now, the company has completed the early business deployment, everything is developing for the better, the supply is stable, the store is complete, the employees perform their duties, the sales performance is steadily rising, the scale of operation is slowly expanding, the economic budget is reasonable, even if someone is deliberately persecuted, it is necessary to see the abnormal behavior in the implementation of major decisions.
I thought for a moment and said: "After I leave, the company's big and small affairs will be handed over to you to take care of, after a while, I will transfer Gu Han to the branch, you and Xiao Qing have to move around more, she is trustworthy." ”
The barbecue restaurant was very noisy, and the scumbag brother sat next to me, and we talked in a low voice, but we were not afraid of being heard.
Brother scumbag nodded and said, "I know, but are you and Wang Ling really going to divorce?" You might as well calm down and find your own reasons, a slap doesn't make a sound, why bother to break up such a good family? ”
I let out a long sigh and didn't speak.
In the evening, I slept in Brother Scum's apartment again, and the next morning, Zhang Xueyao called me, saying that she and Qin Li had already boarded the plane and asked me to drive carefully.
Just after breakfast, I was about to go downstairs to pick up Jin Chen, the phone rang, I took it out to check, it was Qin Xiaolan calling, I sighed and answered the phone.
"Is Miss Qin still angry? Have you packed your luggage, I'm ready to go. ”
There was a clear hint of sarcasm in my tone.
"I'll wait for you downstairs in my apartment."
"Ah, what?"
I walked to the window, looked down, and saw Qin Xiaolan pushing a pink suitcase and looking up at me.
Brother Scumbag walked over, smiled and said: "We live in an apartment building, not far away, and now most of the company's foreign employees live in this apartment, only Xiao Qing and Jin Chen have moved out to rent another house." ”
"Oh, then I'll go first, if there is anything in the company, you have to inform me as soon as possible."
"Rest assured, take care of yourself."
I walked downstairs with my luggage, and when I saw Qin Xiaolan's cheeks were dull and her expression was sluggish, I felt sorry for Wang Ling when I thought of Wang Ling's insult to her yesterday.
"Get in the car, Zhang Xueyao and Qin Yan have already set off, let's go pick up Jin Chen."
I opened the trunk and helped her put her luggage in.
"Your wife is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, since she said such ugly words."
Sitting in the car, Qin Xiaolan complained about Wang Ling, and it could be seen that she was very aggrieved and suppressed a lot of depressed emotions, but she had nowhere to vent, so she could only confide in me.
I didn't want to dwell on this issue, so I changed the subject and said: "When you get there, you have to find an office space first, the preliminary market research has been completed, and when everything is settled, I will give you a long vacation, go out for a walk, and it is best to have a boyfriend." ”
Qin Xiaolan rolled his eyes and said: "Men are unreliable animals, this girl lives well alone, and she doesn't need to find a burden." ”
"Yo, look at your appearance that sees through the red dust, then it's better to become a nun."
I laughed twice, trying to liven up the dull atmosphere.
Qin Xiaolan pinched me and said, "You are raising the bar, who said that if you are single, you have to be a nun, and it is also wonderful to enjoy loneliness alone." ”
I smiled wryly and said, "When you find true love, I won't say that." ”
"There is no true love in the world, you men are all virtuous animals who think with their lower bodies."
She whispered, peeking at me from time to time.
"You can't say that, the scumbag does grab a lot of things, but you can't generalize to the whole, first of all, the three views must be correct and ambitious..."
"Stop, stop, you know so much about love, why can't you manage your own family, quarrel with your wife, and be embarrassed to preach to me."
Qin Xiaolan sighed lightly, and brushed the bangs scattered on her forehead, her body had a particularly good smell, sitting next to me, the kind of floral fragrance that seemed to be there wafted out, as if with a sultry intoxication and fragrance.
I swallowed my saliva and said, "I'm from here, and what I say is for your good, so if you don't believe it, forget it." ”
She glanced at me and muttered, "Then, what kind of woman do you want to find after you divorce her?" ”
"Well, I think it's good for you to be like this."
I looked at her with a wicked smile on my face.
", I don't like to mess with flowers."
She glanced at me, snuggled up in her chair, and took a nap.
The car drove into a neighborhood and went around and around to find Jin Chen's residence, where he was ready to go, dragging his suitcase and waving at me.
As the car drove by, he took a closer look at my logo, and Nono said, "This is, Passat?" ”
I smiled and said, "Whatever you say, that's what you say." ”
Qin Xiaolan pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "What is pretending to be low-key, this is obviously Magotan ." ”
"Not really."
Jin Chen muttered.
I helped him stuff his luggage into the trunk, and just as he was about to get into the car, the mobile phone rang, and I took it out to check, since it was Wang Wenwen calling, I hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Dad..."
My voice was small, I closed the door and took a few steps ahead.
Wang Wenwen pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "What's the matter with you and Xiaoling?" ”
I lit a cigarette, sat down in a lounge chair, sighed and said, "There's something wrong with the relationship, she..."
"You're still not a man?"
Wang Wenwen scolded in a low voice, and said indignantly: "I trust you so much, Xiaoling has just given birth to a child and is emotionally unstable, this is understandable, what kind of character are you playing?" ”
"Dad, it's not what you think, Wang Ling has always been in close contact with Li Hao, and she has brought her home, she doesn't shy away from it, you can't put all the responsibility on me, right?"
I'm a little annoyed, Wang Wenwen is Wang Ling's father after all, how can there be a reason for the elbow to turn out.
I took a drag on my cigarette and continued, "Dad, we have our own decisions, so don't worry about it. ”
"I have walked more bridges than you have walked, the little donkey baby farted and was frightened, come to my villa immediately, and I will talk to you about it."
His tone was unusually firm, and I had no room to refute, so I said stupidly, "Didn't you go on vacation?" ”
"Less nonsense, come over in an hour."
With that, he hung up.
I scolded in my heart, what's bullish, your daughter's cheating is still reasonable, what to talk to me about, on cheating skills, or on the cracks in marriage?
I threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on it with my foot, found Wang Ling's mobile phone number again, and dialed it directly.
"Hello, the phone you are calling is turned off."
I sneered, fine, didn't answer my call, I stuffed my phone into my pocket, got into the car and said: "Xiaolan booked two tickets for tomorrow's departure, I have something to do here, you two will take a plane tomorrow, wait for me to finish my errands, and I'm driving." ”
"Boss Wang, don't take you to release pigeons like this."
Qin Xiaolan pouted, looking unhappy.
"No way, be considerate."
Jin Chen smiled and said, "Is there an emergency at home?" You can go and get busy, Xiaolan and I will fly off tomorrow. ”
"Well, just go over there and contact Xue Yao."
I moved their luggage out again, explained a few words about work, and drove to Wang Wenwen's villa.
It is still the beautiful lake and river, in the late spring and early summer, the delicate wildflowers are all over both sides of the road, the lake is clear and quiet, the clouds cover the sun, here is like the residence of the immortals, the mountains are full of valleys, green leaves and red flowers, the mountains are stretching, the west wind is grassy, the autumn water is pleasing to the eye.
The car drove into Wang Wenwen's villa, and saw Wang Ling's car parked aside, it seemed that she had already arrived, I got out of the car, and saw the old housekeeper greet him, his temples were gray, his hair was thin, his cheeks were engraved with wrinkles, he was wearing a loose Zhongshan suit, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Here, they're all in the living room, hurry up and get in."
I nodded, and followed the old butler into the first floor of the villa.
Wang Wenwen sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand, and took two sips of enjoyment, Wang Ling sat beside him, her hair was a little scattered, her upper body was wearing a white gauze shirt, and her lower body was wearing a pair of black cropped pants, her expression was a little haggard, her face was dull, and when she saw me walk in, she glanced at me fiercely.
"Sit down."
Wang Wenwen lowered his head and tinkered with the tea set, but did not look up at me.
I sat down stupidly, and he took out another cup and filled it for me.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
He put down the teapot and asked in a low voice.
I thought to myself, it's just a parting of ways, one and two wide, I don't covet your property, what can I think.
"Dad, we..."
"Are you two still children?"
Wang Wenwen shouted sharply, interrupting my statement.
"Is your marriage a child's play, or a child's play?"
He raised his head, a sharp light flashed in his deep eyes, he glanced at Wang Ling again, and said hoarsely: "I feel ashamed for the two of you, there is no house to look forward to the house, no children to look forward to the children, no career to look forward to the career, after all the things are obtained, you two are going to divorce again, you two think it's fun, right?" ”
"Dad, it's not what you think."
Wang Ling muttered in a low voice.
"Shut up, I have known that Li Hao for a long time, his father and I have had a short business relationship, but it is not close, although you have been in a relationship with him abroad for a period of time, but you also have to judge the situation and recognize your identity, you are the mother of two daughters, a man's wife, after forming a family, you are still engaged in the city with him, everyone knows, you are not ashamed, I still have an old face."
The more Wang Wenwen spoke, the more excited he became, his face was distorted, and after snorting twice, he continued: "I didn't want to get involved in the affairs of your husband and wife, but before two months of marriage, they quarreled, I am really ashamed of the two of you, and the two daughters are not satisfied, what do you two want?" Do you have to dismantle my old bones and squeeze out the marrow to be satisfied? ”
I saw that his body was trembling and his cheeks were crimson, so he said, "Dad, in fact, I..."
"And you."
I didn't say it was good, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I was shocked back by Wang Wenwen, he took a sip of tea, glared at me and said, "Do you think you can get rid of it?" Every day, you are surrounded by assistants who are showcasing flowers, either going abroad or playing, do you really enjoy it, thinking that you can do whatever you want without supervision, ignoring the responsibilities of your family? ”
I was a little short of breath, looked at Wang Wenwen and said, "Dad, it's not what you think, I have nothing to do with that assistant, just work contacts." ”
Wang Wenwen sneered and said lightly: "Young man, you have only eaten salty rice for a few years, in this materialistic society, can you always guarantee your innocence?" ”
"I'm innocent, so why do you say that?"
I was annoyed, and in the indiscriminate conversation, I felt insulted.
Wang Ling sneered: "Innocence, what do you use to prove your innocence?" ”
"Wang Ling, you are enough, with Li Haoqing, I and me, ambiguous kiss, what qualifications do you have to comment on me here?"
I stood up with a hula and anger on my face.
Wang Ling also got up and shouted, "I just like him, what's wrong?" ”
"You like him, and you're married to me? You have a bad brain, or do you use me as an emotional support? ”
"That's enough, shut up."
Wang Wenwen frowned and motioned for the two of us to sit down.
I sat down angrily, lit a cigarette and said, "Dad, do you hear me?" She just likes Li Hao, what can I do, indulge her, or cover her up? The child has just been full moon, and she can do this thing, and when the child can run, she can't go to heaven. ”
"You don't fart here, just talk if you can talk well, and get out as soon as you can't speak, you're not welcome here."
Wang Ling screamed and cursed.
Wang Wenwen waved his hand, the old butler walked over quickly, and he whispered: "You go and check on the person named Li Hao, if you can invite him here, I want to have a good talk with him." ”
"Dad, are you going too far, Li Hao is my friend, what right do you have to investigate him?"
Wang Ling stared at Wang Wenwen stupidly, with a trace of panic and grievance on her cheeks.
Wang Wenwen said lukewarmly: "Clamp your mouth, I raised you so big, I didn't let you go out and be embarrassed." ”
"Then you have to respect my wishes too."
Wang Ling argued unrelentingly.
"Defend you what? Maintain do you outside? ”
Wang Wen's cheeks turned purple, and even his voice became trembling.
Wang Ling swallowed her saliva, glanced at me, and then shrank back on the sofa and stopped talking.
I was dizzy and exhausted, Wang Wenwen asked me to go back to live at home, Wang Ling did not object, left my daughter for two days, I was very worried, and drove back home.
The housekeeper prepared the meal, and Wang Ling said that she had no appetite, so she went back upstairs to rest.
The sky darkened, the huge villa was no longer as noisy as before, there was silence all around, only the old-fashioned hanging clock on the wall, in the tireless swaying, the evening breeze blew in the mountains and forests, blowing the half-hidden doors and windows, the clouds became thin, and the vast stars filled the night, adding a touch of hazy beauty to the cold moonlight.
I sat next to the cradle, and saw that Qiqi and Miao Miao had fallen asleep, their delicate cheeks were shining with a healthy luster, and their little hands were tucked into the quilt, shaking from time to time, I shook the cradle lightly and said, "Good night, little baby." ”
I hugged the quilt, came to the second bedroom, the fatigue of the day, only in sleep, can be soothed, I got into the quilt, just closed my eyes, Wang Ling pushed the door and walked in.
