Chapter 69: Hereditary Gifts
"On the day of TH's shoe try-on, there was no problem with the shoes, and judging from the actual objects and photos, the heel was probably broken by vandalism. But after trying on shoes, the shoes have always been kept by the customer, so this responsibility is difficult to pursue. Jiang Rin said to Wang Ruo, "I think, at least not your responsibility. ”
Wang Ruo's cold gaze swept over everyone present one by one, as if to warn them that they could shut up.
Fang Man hummed: "It's really interesting, for more than three years, there has never been anything strange in the company, why has it been unpeaceful one after another recently, is it not good feng shui." Now we have to expand our business, find someone to look at Feng Shui. ”
Wang Ruo said: "Why don't you replace the whole company and go to Longhua Temple to burn a high incense." ”
Fang Man did not show weakness: "When it is my turn to be unlucky, I will definitely burn it." ”
Jiang Rin turned a blind eye to all this, and there were some things, he and several other high-level officials wanted to have another meeting, so they left first.
The people of all departments were scattered, Sun Wei said to his subordinates: "After the specific date of the press conference is set, there will be a work schedule before and after the National Day to send to you, if you want to take leave, apply to me and personnel this week, this is the company's first public press conference outside the ground, I hope you can overcome the difficulties, and I will fight for you at the end of the year." ”
"It's better to have a class than no business." Fang Man walked in front of everyone and sighed, "It's a recession now, there is no tomorrow today." ”
Yun En said hello to Sun Wei, apologized for her lateness, and then went to his assistant to ask for meeting minutes, Wang Ruo asked behind her back: "Why did you go to the funeral from head to toe today?" ”
Yun En replied blandly: "I went to visit my mother's grave in the morning, so I came late." ”
Wang Ruo's face froze, but he immediately said, "I'm sorry......"
Yun En didn't say anything and left peacefully.
After the regular meeting, because the customer did not pursue it, the atmosphere in the office was much more relaxed, and the new work schedule had not yet come out, and everyone did some odd things at hand, which can be regarded as the most relaxed Monday since the summer.
The colleagues made an appointment to go to dinner together at noon, and Yun En received a message from Jiang Rin that he wanted to have lunch with her.
So after the lunch break, Yun En went downstairs to take a subway stop and came to the restaurant designated by Jiang Rin, Tang Jing booked a private room for them, and she arrived before Jiang Rin.
When Jiang Rin came, there was already food on the table, and Yun En was holding a bowl of rice and eating it very deliciously.
"So hungry?"
"I went out without breakfast, and I went to sweep my mother's grave."
"I guessed it." Jiang Rin said, pouring tea for Yun En, "Eat slowly." ”
"Whatever you want to eat, order more, I'll order two casually first." Yun En said, took a piece of meat and put it into Jiang Rin's mouth, "This shop is quite delicious." ”
Jiang Rin flipped through the menu, added two more dishes, and ordered dessert for Yun En.
"Are you better?" Jiang Rin said, "I know something from Liang Chen, do you want to hear about it?" ”
Yun En nodded and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Yun En's grandmother's house is a famous cheongsam family in Shanghai, although the cheongsam no longer appears in people's lives as a popular costume, but if you want to customize a set of authentic cheongsam with traditional craftsmanship and well-cut, ask a little in the circle, and you will find Xia Changfeng.
The cheongsams in several popular movies and TV series with the background of the Republic of China are also carefully made by Xia Changfeng with his apprentices.
The Xia family has a company under its name, and although the business is not big now, it has a high status in the industry.
After the end of the war, in the turbulent years, the Xia family transferred their property to Hong Kong, which was not greatly affected, and later moved the family back to the mainland, so in Shanghai a few decades ago, it was also a rich family.
But Yun'en's mother, for what reason, resolutely left the privileged life, and worked hard to raise her daughter alone in an era when policies and the general environment were full of discrimination against single mothers.
"Xia Changfeng is fifty-nine years old and has a wife, but they have no children." Jiang Rin said, "Liang Chen told me that the Xia family currently has Mrs. Yang and Xia Changfeng and his wife, by the way, your ...... Your grandmother's surname is Yang, and you may have met her at the rehabilitation center. ”
Yun En nodded: "I remembered it last night, if it's right, we met twice in the elevator." No wonder the first time, she kept staring at me, but the second time, it didn't seem like anything. If it was true that the gentleman recognized me because I looked exactly like my mother, then why didn't the old lady ask me who I was? ”
Jiang Rin said: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding between mother and daughter, after all, your mother is ......."
Yun En was sorry: "I'm sorry to get you involved in this kind of thing for some reason." ”
Jiang Rin was a little angry: "Don't say such things. ”
Yun En looked at him aggrievedly, Jiang Rin immediately walked around and sat beside her, leaning weakly on the crook of his arm, and then he was sure.
"Am I too strange, why can't I accept it, I should be happy, right?"
"Your reaction is normal."
Yun En said: "Because my mother has never shown that she misses her relatives, my mother has always told me that the two of us can be very happy, and I never even thought about going to find relatives or anything." Although I knew that my mom didn't pop out of a rock, and that she must have had mom and dad, and even siblings, I never thought about getting it back. ”
Jiang Rin gently comforted her: "Because you know that my mother will run away from home, something unhappy must have happened, if my parents are gone, just tell you directly." She didn't say that it must be that the family is still there, but you can't see each other again, you just don't want to uncover your mother's scars, you feel sorry for her. ”
"I had a child out of wedlock, my mother couldn't find a job, worked everywhere, and resold videotapes." Yun En smiled as she spoke, "I remember when I was very young, my mother was a fast runner, otherwise she would be arrested by the police if she ran slowly." ”
Jiang Rin listened to her quietly until the waiter brought the food in, and Yun En didn't want to waste the food, so he asked him to eat it while it was hot.
Seeing that his girlfriend's appetite was not bad, Jiang Rin was relieved, and he also believed that Yun En just didn't ease up for a while.
"Grandma, uncle, aunt?" Yun En smiled and said, "Will it run out again one day, grandparents, uncles, aunts?" ”
Jiang Rin said: "Leaving suddenly, are you afraid that your uncle will mention your father's matter?" ”
Yun En's eyes trembled, holding her double skin milk, she pushed away the red beans on it one by one, and said in a low voice, "Does Doctor Liang know?" ”
Jiang Rin said: "Liang Chen doesn't know, he doesn't know much about the Xia family's later affairs, he only heard his grandmother talk about the previous history, and I only know this." ”
Yun En nodded: "No wonder my mother, she can do anything, although we used to be poor, I have always been the most beautiful little girl, wearing beautiful skirts and beautiful shoes, and I can't buy them outside." But my mom prefers to make shoes than clothes, and the machines in my studio, in addition to the second-hand goods I picked up myself, some of them are left by my mother. It turns out that I can have some talents, probably because of family inheritance. ”
Jiang Rin smiled: "I'm also relieved, you are not from a professional class, you don't have a master, I have always been curious, is there really such a genius?" ”
Yun En said unconvinced: "It turns out that geniuses are so stingy, and they panic when they see other geniuses?" ”
Jiang Rin said: "I can understand Meng Xiao's mood, watching the apprentice he brought out with one hand surpass himself. ”
Yun En scooped a spoonful of dessert and fed him: "Big deal, I'll raise you in the future." ”
Jiang Rin said: "Liang Chen called me again in the morning, Xia Changfeng still wants to see you once, are you willing?" ”
Yun En nodded: "I can, my mother's business, I should also give him an explanation, I can see it, I ...... My uncle and my mother have a good relationship. In the morning, I went to tell my mother about it, and told her that I might not necessarily go back to my grandmother's house, this is what I said in my heart, although there is a blood relationship, but Meng Xiao and I are more like relatives, right? Let the future be. ”
Jiang Rin said: "Mrs. Yang is seventy-nine years old, and her health has not been good in the past two years, so your uncle doesn't want to stimulate her, maybe she doesn't know, she still has a thought in her heart, and she will ...... if she knows."
Yun En also unconsciously became nervous: "But she has seen me, since she didn't take the initiative to recognize me, then continue like this, maybe she thinks that her daughter is still alive and will be better." ”
Jiang Rin said: "Don't be nervous, even if something happens, it is never your fault, you are innocent." ”
Yun En nodded, feeling much better, and when she paid the bill, she asked Jiang Rin, "Are you going to Fashion Week?" ”
Jiang Rin hesitated a little: "After the last incident, I reflected on myself, and always opened my mouth and closed my mouth to say that your world is too small and disrespectful to you, so I didn't ask you again." ”
Yun En said: "Is it okay for me to go at my own expense, go on National Day, no need to ask for leave, a week, anyway, just go around Paris, it's enough." ”
Jiang Rin smiled: "What do you mean, is it self-funded or private?" ”
Yun En hurriedly corrected: "Private, private, I don't need a place in the company, I buy the ticket myself, but I want to eat and drink yours." ”
"Live on the street?"
"Reluctantly...... Stay with you, too. ”
