Xiao Jinghuan was stunned for a moment: "Why are you asking me such a question?" ”

"Curious."

Xi Manli said softly:

"Everyone has a curiosity about their unfamiliar territory, and then they seek knowledge. And I'm curious about you.

"I think you have everything, your parents are so outstanding, your family is so prominent, you are so smart, and you are beautiful......

"In the eyes of many people, your life can't be more perfect, and what you have is everything that countless ordinary girls don't have.

"For example, many girls dream of marrying a wealthy family, and you are a wealthy family yourself.

"I'm curious, what criteria does a girl like you have when choosing a mate?

"For example, when I choose a man, I consider the other person's economic conditions; will judge the value of the other party's knowledge, whether it can support me and his future; Will study whether he is worth all my efforts, what about you, what do you think when choosing a mate? ”

Xiao Jinghuan listened, and thought about it very seriously.

Xi Manli continued:

"Before, the Internet was full of news about you and Chu Yilai...... Many people thought that the Jin family wanted to marry the Chu family. Plus this time, Chu Shaodong worked so hard for you...... So, everyone began to guess that there is a chance that this thing can be done eight ~ nine times out of ten...... And I'm happy to see it happen......"

"Stop, it's impossible for me and Chu Yilai."

Xiao Jinghuan, who couldn't listen to it, hurriedly called the word "stop", and now she was disgusted that someone connected the two of them.

Xi Manli calmly asked rhetorically:

"Why can't it be? Is Chu Shao not good enough? ”

"It's not!"

"Why is that?"

"Because I don't like it! That's the most important thing. ”

Xiao Jinghuan replied:

"It doesn't have much to do with being good or not. There are so many excellent men in the world, and I only have one - only one me, no matter how good my family background is, I can only match one at most, so I just need to pick the one I like. ”

Xi Manli listened quietly and interjected: "Won't anyone in your family interfere with your marriage choice?" In the TV series, wealthy families are used for marriage. And in fact, paying attention to the door is a common thing in this circle, isn't it? ”

"Other families may use their children's marriages to make some fuss, but not in our family."

Xiao Jinghuan is full of categorical words:

"My parents, they've made enough money, uh, if I say that, maybe I'll be hated by the rich. The reality is that they don't care much about money anymore.

"So, they don't use marriage as a means to strengthen the family business.

"My brother is a good example of this, he married the woman he loved the most. It's not a business marriage.

"I won't marry because of marriage. As long as it is what we like, as long as our other half can be recognized by our family, whether the other party is poor or rich, as long as the character is okay......"

I have to say that the family's open-minded attitude in terms of marital autonomy is definitely commendable.

"Do you ever have a boy you like?"

Xi Manli asked again.

It seemed a bit abrupt to ask, but she had to ask.

"Yes, but ......"

Xiao Jinghuan lowered her head gently, and her smile dimmed a little:

"Two years ago, he died."

Such an answer made Xi Manli stunned, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention your sadness. ”

"It's fine. It's not a particularly untouchable dead hole. Who doesn't die? It's just the difference between dying early and dying late. I'm curious, why do you ask? ”

It stands to reason that Xi Manli has been a secretary for so many years, and she understands the world best, and is the best at observing words and feelings, and she shouldn't ask this kind of question.

"There's a saying, I don't know if to say it......"

She poured half a glass of red wine, took a sip hesitantly, and said.

"Today, since we've all talked about this, what else can't we say. Say it, don't whet me. ”

Xiao Jinghuan's temper is quite straightforward.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it."

Xi Manli put down the wine glass: "When you first came, I thought you were good-looking, standing with Mr. Jin, and you dared to look at him directly, so you gave me the feeling that you were very lethal." In other words, you and Mr. Jin are very well matched, and this kind of pairing makes me feel very crisis. So, I'm a little disgusted with you and repulsed you.

"Later, when I found out that you were the daughter of the group, I realized that I was really naïve.

"Later, on the day you were hit, in the hospital, I watched Mr. Jin carry you away, and when I saw Mr. Jin putting all his eyes on you, I suddenly thought, that picture is perfect, if you are a couple, it is really a good match.

"The next day, I went to Mr. Jin to deliver my mobile phone, and I felt that Mr. Jin was extremely close when he talked about you. At that time, I wondered, will you have another relationship besides the relationship between brother and sister?

"This is also a conjecture within the group caused by your foot injury these days and the escort of Mr. Jin to and from work - everyone is guessing your relationship: is it a brother and sister, or a lover?

Such an ambiguous intimacy is really infinitely reverie.

"Some people say that you are very worthy, and some people say that Jin is always an adopted son, and he has no family background and is not worthy of you.

"After Chu Yilai came to save you, some people turned against him, saying that you and Chu Yilai are the most compatible. Because you all have a good family background. It's very important to be the right person.

"But I still think you and Mr. Jin are more compatible.

"And, I feel that Mr. Jin seems to like you very much.

"So, I really want to ask, Xiao Xiao, you and Jin have always grown up together, didn't you think that you might be able to come together?"

In the end, Xi Manli asked tentatively.

Xiao Jinghuan's focus is not on the last sentence, but: "Now many people are saying behind their backs, Mr. Jin has no family background and is not worthy of me?" ”

"Well, a lot of people. Those people have not been convinced, and Mr. Jin sits in this position. It's hard to hear. ”

Xi Manli nodded.

Xiao Jinghuan frowned when he heard this: "What, has Brother Changning ever been squeezed in the group?" ”

She had never heard of this, and Changning had never mentioned that he was embarrassed at work.

"Of course it was run. Several major shareholders were not very satisfied with Mr. Jin coming to be the acting president at first, and every time they had a meeting, they often talked with guns and sticks, but it was not easy to deal with, but fortunately, Mr. Jin never made a mistake, and the group's profits in the past two years have only increased and not decreased, which has blocked their mouths......

Originally, she shouldn't have nagged about these things, but she pondered for a while and still said:

"It's Director Pang, those old men...... From time to time, they will make some trouble to embarrass Mr. Jin, if you have been in the position of assistant for a long time, you can know how difficult Mr. Jin's work has been in the past two years.

"Of course, a group, even if it is directly taken over by the heirs of the relatives, will inevitably encounter this kind of thing, not to mention that Mr. Jin has never been the biological son of Chairman Jin, because he is young, it is inevitable that he will be questioned about various problems. But because of this, they said that he was not worthy of you, Xiao Xiao, to be honest, I was sincerely wronged for Mr. Jin......

"Well, the one surnamed Pang is indeed not a good thing, you know the sour person!"

Xiao Jinghuan agreed, and introduced his illegitimate son to her before.

The kid surnamed Pang even pursued her, what the picture is, it's obvious.

Therefore, she was not surprised at all that it would run Changning.

"By the way, the son surnamed Pang also gave Mr. Jin a stumbling block. The result is that stealing chickens does not make a handful of rice. Mr. Jin found an opportunity to drive people out of the group. That action suppressed ~ many veteran group executives, and Chairman Jin strongly supported Mr. Jin, which made Mr. Jin survive...... However, recently, everyone saw you appear in the company, and some rumors have spread again......"

Xi Manli said these things, she really didn't know at all:

"What rumors?"

"They say that in order to keep his current position in the group, Mr. Jin is moving your crooked mind. Originally, you were doing well abroad, but it was Mr. Jin who got you back to China and put you in this position, making it clear that you were a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinghuan was stunned for a while.

"Someone actually compared Changning to a toad?"

Her tone was so shocked that she didn't realize it a few times and rolled her eyes a few times.

The people in this world are really more strange than the other.

Xi Manli didn't smile, just looked at her directly: "Jing Huan, to tell you the truth, people like us, when compared in front of Mr. Jin, it is naturally incomparable." There is no doubt that he is extremely good.

"However, if you compare it with you, he may not be bad in other aspects, but when he comes out, it is estimated that even he himself will feel dwarf, but it is indeed an indisputable fact......

"After all, he is the adopted son of your family, his parents died when he was a child, and he grew up because of the careful cultivation of your family, and he has everything he has today at such a young age.

But here's another fact: he's a man out of the ordinary.

"I thought that if he relied on his real skills, maybe the first few years would be difficult, but in the end, he would definitely be able to get ahead.

Now, he gave up his career and came here to be the acting president, and in the past two years, he has done well enough, but not everyone will praise him.

During this period, some people respected him, and some people wanted to hack him.

"He will be kind to those who honor him; The one who blacked him, he endured.

"Originally, he could have left this side of the matter alone, but he just took care of it, and he was still speculated as ill-intentioned, why?

"Because he has a good heart. Because others treat him well, he treats them well in every way. Because the Jin family was kind to him, he reciprocated with this. ”

These words made Xiao Jinghuan think deeply, and suddenly thought of the old house of the Lan family in Taiwan before, when she wanted to help him clean it, he said "thank you" strangely, is he thanking him for not disliking the dilapidated of his house?

Is the issue of family background really that important in his eyes?

In fact, she has never thought about this matter - since she was a child, she felt that several children in their family had always looked at each other from the same height......

Well, come to think of it, it's still a bit different.

For example, Changning was more frugal than any of them.

Why should he be more frugal than them?

It's just a small detail, but it shows that he really didn't fully integrate into the family.

Why?

Because he was adopted, because he had his pride, since it was not the blood of the Jin family in his veins, how could he enjoy all this completely and with peace of mind?

If you are in this position, if you are the child who has no father and no mother, and you are adopted, no matter how close you are to your adoptive parents, you will definitely have a sense of identity gap.

This gap is that if there is no Jin family, his life may be a different situation.

It may not be like now, high in such a large group, sitting in such a position at a young age, and becoming the person that others look up to.

The reality he may face is that because he has no background, he can't go to a good school, and on the road to making a living and starting a business, he has encountered walls everywhere and experienced ups and downs. This is definitely a very real question.

Therefore, his dedication to the Jin family always has a complex of repaying gratitude.

And this gap was something that I wouldn't have thought about deeply before, and I would feel very stupid, but now, after being broken by Xi Manli, I felt that if he had such a sense of humility in his heart, it was also a very normal mental journey.

She's psychological, so it's easier to figure it out.

"So, Xiao Xiao, I think the hidden marriage is very unfair to Mr. Jin. Because, he needs to be recognized by your family, and even more so by your circle. ”

This was too sudden, which made Xiao Jinghuan stunned.
