Chapter 62 The Floating Light is beautiful, but the pain is unbearable
At eleven o'clock, Li drove to the hotel to pick up Zhang Qian. He was just about to knock on the door, the door opened, Zhang Qian greeted him with a smile on his face, beckoned Li to sit down on the sofa, and was busy making tea. She is splendid, fragrant all over her body, and she wears makeup, looking youthful and beautiful, and her face is radiant. Li refused to sit down and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, now that time is precious, I can't sit." I've already arranged it at the hotel, and the car is waiting downstairs. Zhang Qian didn't insist, she picked up her handbag, looked in the mirror, and then shook her hand to her son and said, "Jian Jian is good, my mother and my uncle are going to the banquet, and you are waiting for your mother at home." I don't know when Li actually became Zhang Jian's uncle, as if he was a younger brother.
The two went downstairs, got in the car, and after a while, they came to the Oriental Hotel and entered the Rose Restaurant, where the furnishings were still so noble and elegant, comfortable and pleasant. The two sat across from each other. The waiter pours tea and hands over the menu. Li took it and asked Zhang Qian to order. Zhang Qian said: "You can order it, test your understanding of me." Li ordered eight dishes and a bottle of red wine according to the dishes that Zhang Qian invited him to eat. Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, you can understand my tastes." β
The waiter is gone. Li said: "Does Mr. Zhang's frozen shoulder still hurt now?" β
Zhang Qian patted her shoulder with her hand, sighed and said, "It's still the same!" β
"Didn't you ask Secretary Wang to give you a special assistant, you can ask her to give you a massage."
"I didn't appoint her as a special assistant, but I just asked her to act as your agent for the time being. She can't do it, after all, she is a girl, she has little strength, and she can't press twice and she will be out of breath. Like you, you have great strength, endurance, and skillful skills. β
Li understood what Zhang Qian meant, and wanted to ask him to give her a massage, but he had already resigned, no longer her special assistant, and was unwilling to touch her noble body again, so he suggested: "It's really not good, you can find another boy to be a special assistant." β
"I think so too, but how can I be as suitable as you? No, no, it's disgusting, and I won't let him touch my skin. β
Li thought to himself, suitable, you want to get into the wrong, and ask someone to be your ex-husband's stand-in, how can this work? Your virtue has not changed, and there is probably no one willing to give you special help, except for those who are of bad character. At this time, he suddenly remembered Ding Kailai, and felt that he was suitable for Zhang Qian's requirements: the character of climbing high and seeking progress, and taking this opportunity to tie up Zhang Qian, in order to promote and reuse; rich knowledge and elegant conversation, just accompany Zhang Qian to chat and relieve boredom; Poor families are in need of special salaries and bonuses to meet their urgent needs. What is even more appropriate is that both of them are divorced and live alone, lonely and unbearable, and they have what they need from each other. Thinking about it like this, he decided to recommend Ding Kai to Zhang Qian:
"Mr. Zhang, I have a suitable person to recommend to you."
"Who? Will he fit me? I'm very picky about employing people, especially those who give me special help. Before you, Secretary Wang recommended a few to me, college students, undergraduates, and a master's degree, and I didn't fancy any of them. I didn't like it until I met you. Zhang Qian still adheres to her strict criteria for choosing special assistants.
"I think you may be satisfied with this person, it is Ding Kai of your marketing department, I asked Zhang Dong to recruit him a year ago. This person has a bachelor's degree, is knowledgeable, intelligent, experienced, hard-working, has outstanding achievements, and is still a filial son! β
"I've seen this guy a few times, thin, wearing glasses, walking slowly, not smiling, very steady. It looks pretty good, use him for marketing, publicity, it's okay, you won't go wrong; Give me special help, I'm afraid it won't work. β
"You didn't try it, how do you know it doesn't work? It is said that he is the head of the student council in college, and he can speak well and write good articles, which is very popular with girls! β
"You didn't go to college, how do you know about his university? Besides, people who can write articles quote scriptures and classics when they speak, pretending to be Sven, and I don't like it either. β
"People who can write articles also have benefits, delicate thoughts and rich feelings. Did you know? He used to be the ex-boyfriend of my fellow countrymate Apricot. β
"Really? The person you like may be really good. So, why didn't they end up getting married? I guess it's still Ding Kai's problem. I still can't use this person. β
Li saw that Zhang Qian refused to use Ding Kai, so he had to tell the truth and tell the reason. I didn't want Zhang Qian to wave her hand again and again after hearing this, which increased her bad impression of Ding Kai. She said: "This person is so ruthless and unjust, this person will definitely not do it!" I choose special assistance, not only to look at academic qualifications, appearance, literary style, but more importantly, to look at character. I use you because I like your loyalty, kindness, honesty and trustworthiness. A person like him, who chases fame and fortune and thinks differently, no matter how talented he is, he can only be used externally, and I will not use him as my personal help. β
Li Xiang, you are willing to use me, and there is a more important point that you refuse to explain, that is, I look a little like your ex-husband Wang Kang, and I can be Wang Kang's stand-in; Ding Kai is not like it, there is no way to be Wang Kang's stand-in. Zhang Qian said this, and Li couldn't say anything more. He secretly lamented that Ding Kai's fate was not good, he made a mistake, everything did not go well, and the legacy was endless.
Seeing that Li was speechless, Zhang Qian felt that he was a little displeased, and said: "I don't need Ding Kai to be a special assistant, it's not that he's bad, maybe he's really good, but it's just not suitable for me." If the apricot still misses the old love, I am willing to be a moon old man; After all, Ding Kai is now an employee of our company, and if the marriage problem is not solved, he will be alone, and his mind will not be stable. β
Li thought about Xing's situation, and felt that Zhang Qian's words were also reasonable, and he had thought about it himself and promised Ding Kai to help him. He said: "Mr. Zhang is really a kind person, helpful, kind to others, the beauty of adults, whether it is friends or company employees, all aspects of work and life are thoughtful." β
Zhang Qian was praised by Li, her face was happy, and she said: "Being a boss is like being a parent, you cherish your employees and think about them everywhere, so they are willing to work for you in a down-to-earth manner and are willing to work hard for you." β
"Good! This is the way of operation of Zhang's Group, the magic method of management, it is worth learning! Li praised and said.
The waiter put the wine and food together, and Li first raised the wine glass to toast Zhang Qian: "Mr. Zhang, I respect you, thank you for your great help to me!" β
"I have just said, we are fellow countrymen, brother and sister, helping you is what I should do, no need to say thank you. This glass of wine, we did it together. β
Zhang Qian is still very bold in drinking, she and Li Yi drank three glasses in a row and still clamored for three more glasses. Li knew that her alcohol consumption was not bad, and he also knew her temper, so he had to accompany her.
After six glasses of wine in a row, Zhang Qian's face was flushed with red clouds, and she was already a little drunk. In the past, Lee would have persuaded her not to drink again, or simply substituted wine for her. He didn't dare to do this today, so he had to slowly chat with her to distract her. I don't want her to talk today, she just wants to drink, and says, "I've heard you say these things eight times, don't listen, drink!" Li was afraid that she would be drunk, so he asked the waiter for a glass of boiling water and said, "Mr. Zhang, drink some boiling water to relieve hangover." Zhang Qian was displeased and said, "You think I'm drunk, and it's okay to drink six more glasses." Li had no choice but to drink slowly with her, drink slowly, and delay as much as possible. After several times, I still drank a bottle of wine.
Zhang Qian was a little drunk, at this moment, she actually opened the conversation box and talked endlessly, constantly talking about her past with Wang Kang, telling her loyalty and love for him, and complaining about Wang Kang's ruthlessness towards her. While speaking, he sighed that "the world is declining, and people are inferior", and resented Wang Kang for "seeing different things and thinking about them, not thinking about the old feelings".
Li persuaded him: "You have Jianjian now, you are so cute, you are very happy to come home from work and have fun." Forget all the unpleasant things in the past. Forget him completely, and you will be happy; If you think about him all the time, you will never be happy, only sad. β
"Do you think that with Jianjian, I can forget all the things that used to happen? Can it be pleasant? No way! Even if I wanted to forget, I would be reminded that I could not forget. β
She took a sip of wine and said: "For example, on the day I returned to Shenzhen, Secretary Wang saw me and asked me about my happy marriage; How do I answer? But I couldn't answer it, so I had to nod and smile, and pretend to be happy with tears. At least in her eyes, my newlywed was happy and happy. She took another sip of wine and continued, "She also asked me, why didn't the child's father send you back?" I had no choice but to make up nonsense, saying that he was busy with business, sent me to Hong Kong, and went back after seeing my parents. In fact, this is all nonsense, self-deception! β
When she picked up her glass and drank again, she found that there was no more wine in the glass, and said, "What? Invite me to drink, but feel sorry for the wine? Li hurriedly poured the wine and said, "I'm sorry."
Zhang Qian took a sip of wine, burst into tears, and said, "Others don't know about this, you know, who am I marrying?" Who is my husband? Who is the father of a child? Although I had a smile on my face, my heart was crying and bleeding! β
Li handed her a tissue to wipe her tears and said, "If you are so painful, why did you make up such a lie in the first place?" β
"For the sake of my face, I can't be called an abandoned woman for the rest of my life, saying that my love is unsuccessful, and I can only rely on my mother's family for the rest of my life, without my own family."
"Aren't you making a fool of yourself? What about your love? What about your family? β
"In Britain, overseas Chinese and wealthy businessmen, isn't it glorious enough?"
Lee shook his head, "Do you feel honored?" β
"Glory. At least in the eyes of others, I am glorious, and my remarried family is rich and noble, no worse than his royal family. I told this lie not only in Shenzhen, but also in Hong Kong. About the Wang family also heard about it. β
"Outsiders will definitely believe that how can the daughter of Zhang Dong, the daughter of Hong Kong's Zhang Group, be an abandoned woman forever? How is it possible not to marry a super-rich family? But even your parents believe it? Don't doubt it? β
"No doubt. I'm in good health. Look at this child, his appearance, demeanor, clothes, and dress, which one does not look like a child of a rich family? β
"You're going to be a babysitter, just for this?"
"Of course, it's not all about that. But, for the sake of this, it's worth it. β
"If you think it's worth it, why bother?"
"Are you stupid? Others don't understand, and you don't understand either? In vain, I have been a special assistant for so many years. I did this, I said this, just to regain the face I had lost, the honor, I got it back, so I said it was worth it; But, underneath the honor, it's all an illusion, in fact, I haven't got anything backβwhat I've lost, I'll never get it back, so I'm still in pain, even more so than before. My love, my happiness, my glory, where are you? How can I really get you back? β
Zhang Qian began to cry as she spoke, hoarse, and extremely sad. Li hurriedly comforted her, poured another full wine, and drank a glass with him. Lee said: "The only way to find your true love and happiness is to fall in love again, find someone who truly loves you and the person you love, and get married." The pain of divorce can only be healed by falling in love again and getting married, and there is no other way. β
"Who am I marrying? In this world, is there a second Wang Kang? β
"In your mind, Wang Kang is so good? Perfect? Didn't he abandon you in the end? β
"That's not to blame him, it's all to blame Zhao Jie's bitch for seducing him."
"Zhao Jie seduces Wang Kang? Don't forget, Wang Kang is the general manager of the company and has great power. Zhao Jie is just his secretary and an employee. If he really loves you, ignore Zhao Jie, or fire her, won't it be over? Why did it come to pass? Li expressed his opinion: "My understanding is contrary to yours, I thought it was Wang Kang who seduced Zhao Jie." According to you, that Zhao Jie used to be a school flower, beautiful and coquettish. It must have been Wang Kang who took advantage of the fact that you were not in Hong Kong to study abroad, and couldn't help but be lonely, so that he fell deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself, and finally had to sacrifice you. β
"No, it's just your opinion. In fact, Wang Kang was reluctant to give up his two sons, afraid that they would lose their mother's love. I really regret studying in the UK! If you don't go to study abroad, we will get married after graduating from college, and then give him a son, and she Zhao Jie will not be able to insert enough. β
"Don't think so. A cat that steals its mouth can always find fresh fish. He Wang Kang is a rich kid, a playboy, and his love will not be single-minded. Even if you don't go to study abroad, marrying him after graduating from college may not be able to take him seriously. You think, the Wang Group is so famous, there are so many beauties in the company, even if there is no Zhao Jie, there will be Zhang Jie and Li Jie. You want him to love you for the rest of your life, that's impossible. Your current pain is caused by Him, and you should hate Him. β
"No, I don't hate him. Looking back on my life, only he has truly given me joy and love. Playing on the beach, holding hands on campus, hugging and kissing in the park all left me with a happy and beautiful impression that I will never forget. β
Li saw that Zhang Qian was too infatuated, infatuated, and even pedantic, and said angrily: "Then you can find another Wang Kang to marry." Hong Kong's Wang Kang is already Zhao Jie's husband and has two sons, and it is impossible for him to return to you. β
However, Zhang Qian didn't think this was angry, she said: "Yes, I have always wanted to find another person like Wang Kang to marry, and my appearance, family, and career cannot be worse than Wang Kang in Hong Kong, otherwise I will feel shameless." β
"You found it?"
"I searched everywhere, and finally found you, your figure, face, and behavior, too much like Wang Kang! But I can't marry you, how can the daughter of Zhang Dong, the daughter of Hong Kong Zhang's Group, marry a migrant worker from Daliangshan? β
Li was finally relieved, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, although you are a valuable daughter and have a lot of money, I am just a wage earner from Daliang Mountain, but I never thought of marrying you; Because although pheasants and phoenixes are both birds, they are different. I already have a peach, and she's my favorite since I was a kid. Peach and plum Yan, spring is beautiful, spring has flowers, autumn has fruits, the most real. β
"I know that you and Tao have a deep relationship, and you have a lovely son, I won't destroy your marriage and family."
"So what are you going to do in the future? Or continue to look for Wang Kang? β
"I won't look for it, because I've found it."
"Where?"
"One in front of you, one in the UK."
"I'm Li, a migrant worker from Daliang Mountain, not Wang Kang."
"Don't you look like Wang Kang?"
"But my family is very poor, and the gap with your family is too great to be worthy of you."
"The rich, the one that matches my family, I also found it."
"Where?"
"In the UK, overseas Chinese are rich businessmen with hundreds of millions of assets."
"You're a utopia, a mirage, a fantasy."
"Utopia, mirage, is also beautiful and attractive, don't many people believe it? When I returned to Hong Kong from England, many girls saw me wearing a British aristocratic brand, and they were very envious of me, saying that they would also go to England to find a rich overseas Chinese businessman in the future; What do you think? Am I not glorious? β
Li shook his head helplessly, he raised his wine glass and said, "Come, Mr. Zhang, toast to your beautiful utopia!" β
Zhang Qian drank dry wine, unconsciously overflowed tears and tears, and recited:
"If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan? Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. β
And he chanted:
"The lights are lingering, and after the people are farewell, when the night is cool. The west wind is chic and dreams for the first time, and whoever reads me will have a single pillow and frown. In the autumn period, the intestines are broken, and the tears are drooping. The moon is still in the west of the small window, I hate you, I remember you, how do you know? β
Seeing Zhang Qian's pain in her heart, Li had to open another topic, talking about the construction of the scenic spot in Daliang Mountain, saying that the people in her hometown were grateful to Zhang Dong and her, and no longer talked about these things that made her sad.
Now, although the whole company believes that Mr. Zhang went to Europe to get married, and gave birth to a beautiful son, her husband is a wealthy British Chinese businessman, and his business is very busy, so he has no time to send her back; But she knew the truth in her own heart. Although the clouds are beautiful, they cannot be used as clothes, and no matter how big the painted bread is, it cannot satisfy hunger. If you tell a lie yourself, you need to round it yourself; You still need to drink your own bitter wine. Now, only Lee understands her struggles. Zhang Qianken said this to him, and he really regarded him as an informed and bosom friend.
Li saw that Zhang Qian was a little drunk and was afraid that something would happen to her, so he persuaded her with kind words, and then ended the banquet hastily, and then sent her home. He thought that maybe she would feel better when she saw her son Jianjian, because it was her spiritual sustenance.
Li slowly helped Zhang Qian downstairs, got into the car, and listened to her heart-rending confession along the way. He couldn't have imagined that the daughter who was full of money and the boss of the company who was full of words also had so much confusion and helplessness, pain and sadness. At this moment, he was full of sympathy and pity for her, and turned into comfort and care, and carefully escorted her all the way home. On the way back, his heart was heavy, like a stone, and he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, and he had to do his best to work hard in order to be worthy of Zhang Qian's cultivation and the baby Jianjian who didn't know who his father was.
Two years later, Li's Zhang's electronic product exhibition stores have grown to ten, with nearly 10 million yuan in funds. He knew that it was time to start his own business, so he bought technology, recruited talents, founded Li's Computer Company, broke away from Zhang's Group, and really became his own boss.
