This night, Wang Ling slept very quietly, I lay on one side, I could hear her steady snort, and from time to time whispering, she seemed to be in a wonderful dream, where the begonias bloomed everywhere, where the west wind grass, the autumn water leaves, where the breeze and the moon, the smoke and haze.

I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, this feeling was amazing, my sleepy eyelids were fighting, I was tired, but as soon as I closed my eyes, the boredom in those thoughts poured into my heart like a spring.

I turned sideways, took Wang Ling into my arms, and whispered, "Otherwise, let Xiao Qing and Jin Chen do clothing business with me." ”

She pursed her lips, seemingly sleeping too deeply, completely ignoring my nerves.

I put the bangs that were scattered on her forehead behind my ears, sighed and said, "I don't know if Sun Kai can help her." ”

Wang Ling arched her body, put her head on my arm, and smacked her mouth twice.

I pinched her smooth cheeks and said sleepwalking, "I really want to get this group of friends together and do something big." ”

"Oh, it's not annoying."

She pinched my chest, with obvious anger in her tone.

I giggled and said, "I can't sleep." ”

"If you can't sleep, you go out for a run, and you feel something in the middle of the night."

She rubbed her eyes, pulled the quilt over and said, "It's okay for friends to eat, drink, and have fun together, and help each other, if you all get together, it will inevitably be a time to fall out, and at that time, you can't even be friends, don't you understand this truth?" ”

She gave me a blank look and turned away.

I got into the bed, hugged her behind me and said, "But those friends are helping me the most now." ”

"Your career has just started, it is normal to have a few friends to help you, and when your business is getting bigger and bigger, and the financial resources are getting stronger and stronger, there will be more and more problems.

She let out a long breath, pushed the pillow aside, and lay flat on the bed.

"You don't want a pillow?"

"Not used to it."

I pulled the pillow over and stuffed it under my head: "Come with me tomorrow to see Xiao Qing, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen." ”

"Sleep, chatter in the middle of the night."

She pouted and glared at me.

I slept until more than twelve o'clock at noon, rarely returned home, just wanted to lie on the bed and sleep all the time, Wang Ling called me a few times, breakfast once, lunch once, and a few times in the middle of the quilt, pull the hair, pinch the nose and so on.

My mother wrapped steamed dumplings with donkey meat, and Wang Ling also pinched a few decently, the irregular shape was very similar to stunted kiwifruit, and I laughed when I saw it.

"Laughing at something, laughing, just beat you into a bun."

Wang Ling stuck out her tongue at me.

My mother kicked me and said, "Go and go, if you don't help, you will make a mess." ”

I walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up my mobile phone, and saw a message on WeChat, clicked to check it, it was sent by Xiao Qing, and it read: Where are you?

Somewhat surprised, I replied, "At home." ”

She replied to the message almost instantly: "Meet? ”

"Okay."

After a hurried lunch, Xiao Qing asked me to meet at a café, and Wang Ling and I drove there, turned left and right, and found the small café hidden in the urban village.

The environment of this small shop is very poor, the air is filled with a pungent fishy smell, walk into the store, close to the door and window, sit in three or three young people, most of them are migrant workers, living in this vicinity, the housing price in the urban village is low, a few people share a small room, it solves the trouble of housing difficulties.

The light inside was dim, and in a corner position, I saw Xiao Qing, Jin Chen sat beside her, her face was haggard, her eyes were blank, Xiao Qing was lonely, and when she saw me and Wang Ling walking in, she stood up unhurriedly: "It's here." ”

I nodded, and after taking their seats, Jin Chen muttered, "When did you come back?" ”

"Yesterday."

I waved to the bar, and a waiter frowned as he walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, his hair dyed purple-red, and a string of glittering things hanging from his ears.

"What do you two drink?"

Wang Ling was pregnant and couldn't drink anything too cold, so I looked at the waiter and said, "Is there any pudding milk tea?" ”

"Nope."

"Where's the chocolate hot tea?"

"Nope."

I was a little angry, took Wang Ling's hand and said, "What do you want to drink?" ”

"Just plain water."

Wang Ling stroked her hair and glanced at Xiao Qing from time to time.

I looked up and said, "Then let's have two glasses of boiled water." ”

"We don't offer plain water."

The waiter smoked and looked disdainful.

"What?"

I stood up with a hula and glared at him, "Don't you even have boiled water?" What else is there in this coffee shop? ”

"Yes, yes, 30 yuan a cup, if you drink it, I'll pour you two glasses."

He threw half of the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out with his foot, looking very shabby.

My whole body trembled with anger, my muscles were exposed, I took out my wallet, took out 500 yuan, and threw it in his face and said, "Go, pour four glasses of boiled water for Lao Tzu." ”

A smile instantly appeared on his face, and he squatted down to pick up the money and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Wang Ling tugged at my sleeve and said, "Sit down, there's no need to worry about this kind of person." ”

"Xiao Tao's temper hasn't changed at all."

Xiao Qing looked at me with a smile.

I sat down, sniffled and said, "I can't get used to that kind of scumbag who is high up and flying high." ”

"There are tragedies happening every day in this world, and you will be angry when you see injustice, but not every injustice can be redressed."

Xiao Qing said slowly, looking very much like an old man who has seen through the red dust, with both a mellow sense of vicissitudes and a keen sense of insight into all things.

I glanced at her and said slowly, "Xiao Qing, I heard that something is wrong with your company, it's not a big problem, right?" ”

After hearing this, Jin Chen took off his glasses and said, "If we can meet here, it is enough to explain the size of the problem." ”

"It's not like that, it's just that I'm tired of those gossip reporters, it's all negative news everywhere I go, and I don't want to confront them when I come here to meet, so I just settle down."

Xiao Qing took a long breath and pretended to be relaxed.

The waiter brought four cups of boiled water on a tray and said with a smile: "Slow use, everyone, this water is purified, not ordinary tap water." ”

I sneered: "How can we know if we are not purified, even if you spit in it, we don't know." ”

"Then how can it be, when we open the door to do business, the most important thing is integrity."

She poked there with a smile, looking very funny.

"Human-like dogs, get out."

"Come on, get out."

The waiter returned to the bar with a smile on his face.

Xiao Qing glanced at Wang Ling and said lightly, "You? Xinyan? ”

"I broke up with Xinyan, and I will marry Wang Ling next month, so I must come then."

I grinned and smirked, Wang Ling glanced at me and said, "I haven't promised to marry you yet." ”

"Ah, it looks like there's a good show, hehe."

Xiao Qing took a sip of boiled water, she was extremely depressed, and her sense of self-confidence, which had been resolute, was also wiped out without a trace by this turmoil.

"Xiao Qing, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I'm fine, I was originally self-made, and now I return to my original self, there is nothing to regret, God is evil, especially can be, self-inflicted, can't live, greed is like a bottomless pit, never filled."

Xiao Qing said sullenly, Jin Chen took her hand: "Wife, you don't have nothing, you still have me." ”

I laughed and said: "That's it, no one is perfect, I have seen Svenwen girls stealing people outside, I have also seen girls who are grinning, smoking and drinking sticking to love, I have seen wearing a suit and tie, scolding at my parents, and I have also seen a tattoo who is waiting for a long time and is in bed." ”

I paused and continued: "Over the years, the ups and downs have come through, it is inevitable that there will be waves, life is not a straight line, we are not saints, which is right and which is wrong, just understand it yourself, no one will not make mistakes in a lifetime, and the kindness in character and bones cannot be pretended." ”

Xiao Qing nodded tearfully: "I know, but it's come to this point, thinking too much will only increase your troubles." ”

I snorted, thought for a while, and said lightly: "That's it, I'm also short of people over there now, it just so happens that you and Jin Chen have a deep understanding of finance, and I want to set up a clothing trading company in the second half of the year, and then you two can go over and work together, and it should be a favor for me." ”

Wang Ling pinched me secretly, I understood it, but my friend was in trouble and had to help.

Jin Chen was a little surprised: "No, didn't you open a clothing store before?" Why do you still want to set up a company? ”

"Development needs, if you don't expand the scale, you can only stand still, and now the form is very good, and I hope you two can join in."

I pursed my lips and smiled.

Jin Chen and Xiao Qing glanced at each other, as if they couldn't make up their minds.

I added: "Don't worry, I'm still in the beginning, but I'm sure your efforts will pay off in the future." ”

"I'll go back and think about it."

Xiao Qing drank all the white water in the cup, looked at the time again and said, "It's not easy for you to come back, let's go, I'll invite you two to have a meal." ”

"No, no, I'll please."

I waved my hand, stood up, and said.

This meal was very depressing, Xiao Qing and Jin Chen were silent, Wang Ling ate with a round stomach, a few times I wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but everyone couldn't be happy, after dinner, I proposed to go to KTV to play, Xiao Qing said that there was no interest, Wang Ling said that she wanted to go home to sleep, and Jin Chen also put on a sad expression.

After returning home, I sent a WeChat message to Sun Kai, waited for a long time, and did not see him reply, calling his phone, and has been busy, I am a little helpless, my parents have gone to the night shift, I nested on the sofa with Wang Ling, bored watching TV.

The phone rang, picked it up to check, it was Sun Kai calling, I hurriedly answered.

"Hey, Xiaotao."

His voice was low, as if he were a thief, and even his breathing became cautious.

"What are you doing?"

I asked in a low voice, frowning.

"Is there anyone next to you? Convenient to speak? ”

I glanced at Wang Ling, she blinked her beautiful eyes, glared at me and said, "What do you think I do?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders, got up and walked into the bedroom: "Say, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Kai pondered for a moment and said, "I told you last time, do you remember what I did with that little assistant?" ”

I rolled my eyes, remembering what he had told me, without words.

"Oh no, that girl is pregnant, and she's messing with me now."

He had a trill, visibly flustered.

I didn't know how to answer, I just listened silently, I wanted to tell him about Xiao Qing's recent situation, but I didn't expect so many troublesome trivial matters to be involved.

"I've just been promoted to general manager now, and the whole company is eyeing me, and if this thing is revealed, my career will be over."

He sighed and whispered insults from time to time.

"Mengxi still doesn't know?"

I asked in a low voice.

"Of course I can't let her know, I'm wondering how to deal with this."

Wang Ling pushed open the door and walked in, she lay on the bed, looking a little depressed.

I coughed lightly and said lightly, "What does that woman want?" ”

"She wants me to divorce Mengxi, and..."

"And then Ming Media is getting married, driving Mengxi away and taking her home?"

My voice was a little cold, Wang Ling sat up, brushed her hair and said, "Is he messing around outside?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, nodded, and got up again and walked to the living room.

"What else would you do? After all these years of hard work, I finally got a promotion and a salary increase, and my dream came true, but I can't destroy my future because of this, right? ”

He began to become irritated, and his voice was loud and unstable.

I lit a cigarette and said, "Do you want a career, or do you want a family?" ”

"I don't even want to lose."

Sun Kai lost his patience, and he shouted angrily: "It's all because of that sassy woman, if she hadn't seduced me, things wouldn't have gotten to this point, it's useless to say more, it's a big deal to resign and leave, the sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, and his head has a scar the size of a bowl." ”

"Calm down and listen to me."

I took a puff of cigarette and glanced in the direction of the bedroom again, and saw Wang Ling sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at me intently, with a complaining look, as if warning me not to be nosy.

I sighed and said softly: "You might as well give her a sum of money, in today's society, who doesn't like money, as long as the gift is reasonable, she will not entangle you in every way, or you can sign an agreement, if the child is born, you will raise it, if you do it, you give her enough pension, so that you can kill two birds with one stone." ”

I took a faint puff of my cigarette and added: "Mengxi treats you very well, although you haven't given birth to a baby yet, but you kid should also change your mind, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, no one wants to make a fuss, and the wife is separated, so just take it away." ”

Sun Kai took a long breath and said, "What is the matter with you calling me today?" ”

Finally getting to the point, I snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "Do you know about Xiao Qing?" ”

"What's the matter with her?"

Sun Kai was a little surprised, I briefly recounted the incident to him, and he was quite surprised: "Really, what should I do?" ”

I was about to say something, but he preemptively said: "Our company is recruiting a financial director, Xiao Qing and Jin Chen are very capable, you might as well come to me to show your skills, that's it." ”

I snorted and didn't answer, because Xiao Qing and Jin Chen are extremely efficient, and they are serious and careful, and they have deep insights in managing finances, I originally wanted to take these two capable people under my command, but I didn't expect that since Sun Kai openly poached people, I can't refute it, as for Xiao Qing's whereabouts, it can only depend on her own choice.

As soon as I finished the call with Sun Kai, Qin Yan hurriedly called again, I sighed and answered the phone.

"Brother, come back quickly, there's something wrong here."

My heart palpitated, my thoughts were confused, what was going on?
