Summer is coming. This is Lin Ximeng's favorite season. Summers along the coast are as charming as they are.

The sunshine, the blue sea, the beach, and the singing of the fluttering seagulls simply interpret the brilliant and romantic charm to the extreme.

Occasionally, after work, drive out, see the vitality of summer, smell the fragrance of summer, and listen to the rhythm of summer, which is even more wonderful.

She can change her outfit every day, wearing light summer clothes, and even feels light. However, she is demanding when it comes to her clothing, and her style strives for simplicity.

No matter how high-end the clothing is, once the style is complicated, she loses interest in trying it on. She herself couldn't say why that was the case.

Perhaps one needs a sense of balance. People with complex hearts can only keep themselves in a state of balance and harmony through a concise external image.

At this moment, Lin Ximeng was wearing a cream-colored silk shirt and a black long and narrow skirt, sitting in the office, copying the shutdown agreement of the Wang Chao Hotel, when the phone rang, she reached out and picked up the microphone: "Hey, hello." ”

"I'm looking for Manager Lin." A girl's voice.

"I am. Who are you? ”

"Sister Lin? It's me. ”

"It's ......," she couldn't hear anyone.

"Yao Huijuan." She quickly rummaged through her brain for the impression of the name, but couldn't find it.

"Sister Lin, did you forget? I'll tell you the name of another person...... Ma Zhengyan. As soon as he heard the words Ma Zhengyan, a bright child immediately appeared in front of Lin Ximeng's eyes.

"Miss Yao? It's you? How could it be you? ”

"Sister Lin, don't call me Miss Yao, call me Xiao Yao or Huijuan. It seems that I don't even have an impression in your mind, not even Ma Zhengyan. Yao Huijuan smiled happily.

Lin Ximeng also smiled.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm working in a joint venture right now, close to your company, ten minutes away. I've always wanted to give you a call, but I don't have the courage. Sister Lin, really, I've been fascinated by you since I met you......"

"Listening to you, it seems to be a young man's tone."

"It's a pity that I'm not a young man, if I were a young man, I would be pestering you every day to propose to you, I have to marry you."

"What about my husband?"

"Give him to someone else."

"To whom? Here you go? The two of them laughed, and Yao Huijuan said over there: "Really, Sister Lin, since I met you, I have really been fascinated by you, but because I met you through Ma Zhengyan, I am afraid that you will misunderstand me and look down on me, so I have been embarrassed to contact you." It's been more than half a year. Today, I easily mustered up the courage to make this call to explain to you......"

"Huijuan, do you still have any contact with Ma Zhengyan?"

"Sister Lin, after Ma Zhengyan left Red Star, he came to me once and asked me to help him borrow money, but I didn't borrow it. Really, Sister Lin, I felt really good about him at first, but after a while, I felt that it was not like that. So, we never saw each other again. ”

"That's it, Huijuan," Lin Ximeng interrupted her,

"I'm busy, I'm going to have guests in a while, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, you can come over when you have time."

"I'll just wait for your words. Sister Lin, what time is it? Lin Xi dreamed for a moment and said, "Half past four." ”

"Okay, Sister Lin, don't bother you, goodbye."

"Goodbye!" A cruel fact is unavoidable: she wants to leave Zhuoqi! Last night, Zhuo Qi waited until late at night to return to the newly moved home as usual, and was excited to prepare her for bed**.

But what he waited for was a refusal on the pretext of exhaustion, and even his touch was also reprimanded: "How are you letting me sleep?" I'm tired, when have I been? Zhuo Qi turned around in annoyance and helplessness.

The two slept back to back. I don't know how long it took, but in her sleep, she felt something strange underneath her.

In the haze, this discomfort became more and more obvious. Her consciousness came to her senses. To her great surprise, Zhuo Qi turned to her at some point and pulled off half of her underwear...... An indescribable pain tugged at her heart.

She still pretended to be asleep. Gasping for breath and getting sexual satisfaction, he quietly pulled on her panties, then gently turned around and fell asleep...... In the morning, when I saw Zhuo Qi's frowning brow and cold thin face, a deep sense of guilt hit my heart.

Lin Ximeng suddenly had a feeling of uneasiness: she was sorry for Zhuo Qi, she hadn't even fulfilled the most basic obligations of a wife now.

Zhuo Qi didn't even eat breakfast and went out. She took care of Niu Niu and had dinner, called Fan Tianfu, and said that she would not go to the company today.

She finished her chores and sat down on the couch. Looking at the orderly layout of the home and the smooth cement floor, it seems that Zhuoqi's figure is still walking around the house.

This was a move that Zhuo Qi had been longing for a long time, and he fell out with the school leaders to move into this house, and finally the school leaders gave in.

Because whether it is in terms of seniority or merit, this house should really be given to Zhuoqi. She sat dumbfounded, not knowing where Zhuo Qi had gone.

Her heart was troubled. In all fairness, Zhuo Qi loves her. Although he didn't know how to love a woman like her, he devoted almost his whole body and soul to her.

He may not have achieved much in his career, but he loved her in the stubborn, unguarded, and dead-hearted manner of a peasant.

He would never have dreamed that her love would begin to be eaten away bit by bit when he wanted to make her forever the property he showed off to society in a forceful way.

She confessed that when he captured her girl's heart in a blunt and cold way, she was indeed obediently his captive, and swore in her heart that she would be a schoolboy and even a slave to him forever and ever.

And at that time, she would never have imagined that one day she would refuse to continue to be such a captive and slave; She would never have imagined that once this pattern of teacher-student relationship, master-servant relationship, domination and domination relationship was broken, when she stood up, she found that the idol she had admired for many years was so disappointing and even desperate.

Especially when she knew that she would never kneel down again, she knew that she would never love this man again.

However, she never left this man. After all, she is not psychologically brave enough to bear the courage and ability to live independently, nor does she have the courage to tell Zhuo that she no longer loves him.

In her heart, Zhuo Qi is no longer the Zhuo Qi of the past. However, can she say that she doesn't love Zhuo Qi? How could she say that she didn't love Zhuo Qi?

He is so hardworking, so content. Since she went to sea, he has contracted almost all the household chores and has to take care of Niu Niu to go to school.

He waited for his wife's return almost every night. On freezing nights, he stood in the dark at the school gate, sometimes startling her.

As a man, he is not easy enough. However, she really felt that she didn't love Zhuo Qi anymore. She had to tell Zhuo Qi the cruel truth.

Maybe this is too cruel to him, but if she doesn't tell it, it won't be fair to anyone if it goes on like this for a long time.

Zhuo Qi is still young, after all, he still has a shining side, and she believes that he will find a woman who loves him deeply.

Moreover, she dared to believe that Zhuo Qi would be a competent husband to any woman, as long as this woman was not a woman like her.

She wants a man, not just a husband who keeps to himself and works hard, she wants a man who can channel her energy to him and produce results, she wants a man who can stand up to the sky and the earth after she has carefully designed her, she wants a man who needs her to work hand in hand with him in the arena of life, she wants a man with a hard skeleton and flesh and blood, and a man who is awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

Of course, this man must be handsome and dashing. She lived to be thirty years old before she realized that women were just as lustful as men.

Before getting married, she didn't pay attention to Zhuo Qi's image, and after getting married, she found out that Zhuo Qi was too thin to be a man.

This often gave her an indescribable feeling in her heart. No wonder Confucius said that since food and color are the nature of human beings, it is not only the nature of men, but also the nature of women.

Lin Ximeng was still in a daze, and Fan Tianfu called and said that You Xinshan was coming. Only then did she remember that this was an appointment she had made on the phone a few days ago.

She hurriedly packed herself up and rushed to the company. Lin Ximeng hadn't seen You Xinshan for more than a year. Some time ago, You Xinshan asked someone to send a cart of extracurricular tutoring books for middle school students from Bailang Island, and asked Lin Ximeng to help sell them, and she asked her classmates scattered in various towns and villages in Wutong to help shoehorn them into the students.

This is strictly forbidden by the Education Bureau, but out of the affection of classmates, and there is also a kind of teacher's wife, as long as it is sent to them, it will be left without discount, and the money will be collected and sent in a timely manner.

You Xinshan is here to get the money today. Selling books is a matter of making money, she knows that. But You Xinshan and his wife, a well-known amateur singer on Bailang Island, repeatedly explained in front of Lin Ximeng that this was for those students to plan for the long term and something like that, which couldn't help but make Lin Ximeng disgusted from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't break it.

Why bother to break it? Once some things between people are broken, it is not one party that is embarrassed and embarrassed, but both sides.

Besides, a person like You Xinshan won't fill one piece after all

The "I thirst for money" garment was worn outside, but I couldn't do without it, so I had to put a coat over it.

But when the wind blows the coat, a corner of it lifts up, and the garment inside is revealed. It's just that it's hard for him to find out.

Lin Ximeng was very disgusted with his style. Why bother? It's ridiculous to wear a coat for others to see, and to wear it in front of her.

At noon, Fan Tianfu held a banquet to entertain You Xinshan and his wife. Lin Ximeng said that he was not feeling well, and he would withdraw from the banquet first.

Go back to your room and sleep in bed. These days, she has an indescribable feeling of depression, which seems to be caused by being too tired from work, and it doesn't seem to be.

When she came out of the guest room, You Xinshan and his wife had already left. Fan Mingfu stopped her, saying that his school had imposed a new and harsh condition on teachers on leave without pay, in order to prevent them from taking leave without pay and to allow them to return to school.

Several other teachers who were on leave without pay simply resigned from public service, leaving only him, Fan Mingfu. He was in a dilemma, he wanted to keep his public office and keep the back road of the iron rice bowl, and he wanted to continue to work here in Fan Tianfu.

The contradiction made him uncertain and restless. He had already told Lin Ximeng many times about this matter and asked for her opinion.

He didn't dare to ask Fan Tianfu. Of course, Lin Ximeng hoped that Fan Mingfu would stay here. Tang Yuanbao went home for half a month after being criticized by Fan Tianfu for being drunk and crazy, and he has not come back yet.

In case Tang Yuanbao doesn't come back, he can't be separated from here.

"What do you say I'll do?" Fan Mingfu asked her again. Lin Ximeng had no choice but to agree to help him ask Fan Tianfu's opinion.

In fact, she has already revealed Fan Mingfu's contradiction in front of Fan Tianfu. Fan Tianfu has always hoped that this younger brother will regard his career as his own and be able to follow him resolutely.

When she came to the manager's room, she saw that Fan Tianfu was in a good mood, and she said that Fan Mingfu's school attitude was so harsh, should he go to his principal's house for activities, anyway, now he is the only one in his school who is suspended without pay.

Fan Tianfu's face stretched as soon as he heard this, and he scolded: "Damn! Something that doesn't make a difference! If he wants to go back, let him go. Don't die like this all day long in the Southern Dynasty and hang on the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

"Akio doesn't want to go back, just ......"

"You don't have to say it," he interrupted her rudely,

"Let him get out of here! The sooner the better! Lin Ximeng didn't dare to say more, so he had to stand there silently.

Fan Tianfu calmed the anger in his chest, sat down, and said very fiercely: "I am a person with a very traditional family concept. And now, all my outlook on life and values have been completely refreshed. I feel that true love does not necessarily exist among people who are related by blood, such as brothers, fathers and sons. I have such a large group of brothers, and in the process of my business, except for the sixth brother, who gave me spiritual encouragement and tried his best to support me in other ways, the other brothers stood by and watched. If you don't believe it, you can wait and see, one day in the future, when the company is good, they will all come around; Once the enterprise crosses, they will be far away, and they will also say how they objected to how they did not agree with me coming back from the army to engage in enterprise Yunyun. I've seen that through. They're just waiting and seeing now. One of the things I want to do more and more is to become brothers with these brothers in the company who share my weal and woe, just like the Three Kingdoms Taoyuan Sanjieyi. From now on, break the blood ties and reshape and restructure a new brotherhood in my heart. One day, when the business goes out of business, I sell it and give it all to the brothers who worked with me, and then I will go to the cliff and be crushed to pieces. 'The world belongs to me' and 'I belong to the world' are not the same. The kind of person who thinks that 'the world belongs to me' is a slave to the world, and you can only be truly broad when you feel that 'I belong to the world'. Why did those great men scatter their ashes on the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas after they died? That's a realm. Only those ordinary people pursue what leaves fall back to their roots and die in their homeland! When I die, I leave nothing behind, and let the bones disappear completely in the whole of nature. Lin Xi dreamed of Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is dying, and the disciples want to bury him. Zhuangzi said: "I take heaven and earth as coffins, sun and moon as the continuum, stars as pearls, and all things as gifts." Isn't my burial apparatus prepared for evil? How so! His disciple said, "I am afraid that the black kite eats the master." Zhuangzi said: "On the top for the black kite, on the bottom for the ant food, take the other and this, how biased!" She went to pour Fan Tianfu a glass of water, brought it to him, and looked at him silently.

At this moment, Xiaoshun came in and said, "Manager Lin, there is a Miss Yao waiting for you in the office." She knew that Yao Huijuan was coming, so she walked out.
