Grace
October 20 - October 22, 2012
When they got up, Zhang Yi and Zhang Hengli were no longer at home. The picture of the four of them walking through the streets and alleys of Changsha City in the past ten years shows that life was once so vivid. Now I can only feel boundless loneliness every moment.
Zhang Yi probably slept in the living room. I don't know if it's to take care of Zhang Hengli, or because Zhang Hengli said that.
I went to the company and there was a guy working there. I need money, I need money to save the company, and I think of the company's assets. The night before, I had removed all the keys on my unfamiliar keychain. Zhang Hengli had a physical examination, and I expected that she was not in the mood to worry about me.
"Is that you?" I remembered that he was the one I saw outside the detention center that day, and I took his car as a taxi and didn't pay for it. He wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses this time, his hair was quite long, and the hair on his forehead was longer than that on the back, which was parted in the middle, especially like a spy in an anti-Japanese war film, which was very funny.
"Is that you?" He also said, almost jumping: "You're not going to come to collect money, are you?" ”
I opened my hands and gave him a "calm" gesture: "My name is Ye Xijia, what is your name?" ”
He touched the hair on his forehead, as if he was really frightened by me: "Lin Musen." ”
"How short of wood are you?"
He turned his right index finger around his temple a few times, and said in a wailing falsetto voice as he turned: "My dad was too lazy to use his brain to choose a name, originally called Lin Linlin, but my mother was a little more diligent than him, so it was changed to Lin Musen." ”
"You're the nemesis of Yi Xu?"
"Is that how people introduced me? Sounds good, I accept it. ”
This person is Yi Xu's nemesis, should I be wary of him?
But what do I need to be prepared for? He cares about business, sales, products, or company secrets, and I happen to be the least known person in the world. Will he be wary of me? He was also one of many people who told me that I could not attend the memorial service or that I was perfunctory. In the end, he was the only one to appear at the funeral home. Whatever the reason he is now sticking to this company is for business, sales, products, or company secrets, I have nothing to stop it. I need his help, open this door today, maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, when I need to get information, clues, and help from this office, even if he is doing superficial work and covering up his inner gloomy calculations, I probably need him. If he can really cause any serious consequences, it will be liquidated by Yi Xu in the future.
"Can you go out for a while?" I said to him.
"What are you going to do?" He smiled wryly.
"Stealing." I say it rightly.
He hastily asked, "What to steal?" ”
I didn't do anything to him, and his jaw trembled slightly with fear! Zhang Yi said that he is a great salesman, and his psychological quality is not very good!
"What is worth stealing." I pointed to the things in the office: "Computers, printers, drinks in your break room, all right." ”
"Are you short of money? Can you steal? He asked excitedly, "If you don't go out, you'll be implicated, and I have to steal." I hired a lawyer to save me, but I was so poor that I couldn't even pay the lawyer's fees. ”
He covered his cheeks with his hands, slowly rubbed it up and down, and said helplessly: "You can find our Manager Liang, why bother?" ”
"I've looked for it." I say.
Of course, I approached Manager Liang, but she said that she was not a shareholder and had no right to deal with public property. Didn't I say you closed the Guangdong branch? She said it was a timely stop-loss decision that was good for the company. However, if you take the company's money to hire a lawyer without permission, if Yi Xin can't come out, the court will have to freeze the assets sooner or later. Once the accounts are audited, how can you say it clearly?
I can't force people to do it, I can only steal it myself.
Lin Musen hurriedly pushed my shoulder, and he was so anxious that his eyebrows were wrinkled: "Then you hurry up and get me out now!" ”
"Well, tomorrow at twelve o'clock at noon, you go out to eat, lock the door, don't worry, I have a way to get in, you have to remember to come back after one o'clock in the afternoon."
"Fuck you!" He grabbed me by the neck and rudely pushed me out the door: "Don't come back!" ”
it!
I walked down the street in a daze, bustling with so many people, if everyone gave me a dollar, I only needed a dollar, and my lawyer's fees would be settled.
I thought of Zhong Pei again. Lin Musen is Yi Xu's sworn enemy, and it is understandable that he doesn't want to help Yi Xu. Zhong Pei is different, he is a good friend of Yi Xu!
"Oh, that's a coincidence, you might be able to help with a favor, can you delay you all afternoon?" Zhong Pei seemed overjoyed on the phone.
"Two afternoons is fine!"
I think that God will help me, and it will be better to borrow money if I help him.
I went to meet him at a hotel. He came to an important client, the client's daughter lives in Australia all the year round, and this time he came back for a vacation, and his father followed him on a business trip. THE GIRL'S NAME WAS GRACE, SHE WAS AN ABC AND DIDN'T SPEAK UChinese. She wanted to go out shopping while her father was talking about work, Zhong Pei knew about it temporarily, and was worried about where to find a translator in such a short period of time, when she received a call from me.
"You can speak Chinese, right?" Walking out of the hotel, I asked her.
"How do you know?" She asked in surprise, like a little rabbit with round eyes.
"I noticed your eyes, your eyes reacted when they spoke, and you understood what they said, so I guess you should be able to say the same."
"You're so smart?"
I laughed, "I have a boyfriend who can see a lot of things in other people's eyes, and he's not with me now, and I suddenly have a little bit of his skills." ”
"Where did he go?"
"Travel," I said quietly, "I hope to be back soon." ”
"You think so about him?"
"Why did your dad tell them you didn't know Chinese? Don't you feel annoyed by being arranged by a stranger to another stranger around you? ”
"Because he didn't know that I could speak Chinese, he thought I had forgotten about it, he left me in Australia for twenty years, I treated him like an Australian, only spoke to him in English, he half-understood and pretended to know everything, funny and ridiculous. And I didn't know that the guy surnamed Zhong would find a translator, I haven't encountered this situation, this is my second time in China. My parents immigrated to Australia as soon as they got married, and then the business in Australia was really difficult, so he returned to China, and my mother had adapted to life in Australia and did not want to come back. When I was six years old, they divorced. I'm twenty years old and I've seen my dad no more than twenty times. ”
The taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
"You sit over there." I told her to go in first.
"Are you used to sitting here?" She asked me.
"Nope." I said, "Master, go to the pedestrian street." ”
"Your eyes may be nearsighted, and you squint when you speak, I was like this for a while in junior high school, and then I looked at more green plants and looked more into the distance."
"Yes, I just saw an ophthalmologist before I came back, and I wore glasses, but I didn't wear them."
"Later, you can look out the window, there is a large scenic belt along the river."
The car took us through the lively streets, the lush trees on the side of the road crossed in front of us, the Xiangjiang River silently winded to distant places, the small flower beds everywhere in the city were like evenly distributed stars in the sky, the car windows were printed on our faces, and the car doors separated the two worlds, outside and inside, movement and stillness.
We arrived at May Day Avenue and Grace asked me to wait for her at a coffee shop and she would come back in an hour.
I found a florist and bought pots of mimosas for her. Zhong Pei called and asked me to serve this little ancestor well, this customer is very important, and I must try to sign the contract before leaving.
I suggested that he put more pots of green plants in the box where he invited him to dinner in the evening, and that everyone at the dinner table should wear some green clothes, and that Grace's eyes were pseudo-myopia, so it was better to see more green.
Grace came back in less than an hour, and I gave her the mimosa, and she was so happy.
"What did you drink?" She asked me.
"Cappuccino."
"I'll have a drink too!" She said. She asked for coffee in a paper cup.
After a while, she pointed to her cup and said, "I love the taste, but I never open the lid to drink it, do you know why?" ”
"Why?"
She smirked: "The milk foam on it is very similar to the waves rushing over." When I was a child, my father took other children's children to the sea, and I was very envious, and my mother also hugged me to meet the waves in order to comfort me. Once a big wave came and we were swept away, but fortunately we were rescued, and the wave was high, half of the top was white, and the bottom half was rolled with sand, have you ever seen hell? She pointed to my coffee and said, "That's what hell looks like." ”
"You can wipe out hell in your stomach, you are also very brave!" I teased her.
"Have you ever seen anything worse than mine?" She immediately showed an exhausted and exhausted look, "Dad is in another country, Mom is in the same city, but she remarried a long time ago, and I am an outsider in her house...... Even so, she is the person I love the most. But suddenly one day, she also died. ”
I was just about to comfort her, but she suddenly waved her arms happily like a little dove, "Say something happy, and in a few days I will be able to go and do something that can finally be done." ”
"Back to Australia?"
"To England."
"It's not a dream to travel to the UK, right? How easy it is for you to go to England! ”
"It's hard to say whether it's tourism or not, because maybe you only stay for a month, maybe you stay for a lifetime, and you can't die there!"
"Don't be so frustrated with happy things."
"Do you have this feeling, you have always wanted to do something, the farther away you are, the more anxious you are, the closer you get, but you are calmer."
"Calm but a little happy, you see the hand dancing when you bring it up."
"I danced with my hands, but I didn't do it."
I was amused by her cuteness: "I was wrong, but congratulations." ”
"Thank you."
"I wish you happiness."
She took three sips of coffee in silence and shook her head slowly.
I remembered the high-spirited Yi Xu when I said "I wish you happiness" to Zhang Yi. At that time, I thought that we would be happy for a lifetime, but now we are separated by a high wall, I dare not think, if his life ends, the happiness of my life will also end, right?
I took her for a walk around the pedestrian street, she always held the pot of mimosa and laughed, very silly, I saw her like that, and laughed, we were like two neurotics walking on the street, not "shopping" the street.
I sent Grace to the restaurant designated by Zhong Pei. I pulled Zhong Pei aside and borrowed 30,000 yuan from him, but he refused. He stuffed 200 yuan into my hand, saying that it was a translation fee.
I was stunned there, looking at the people coming in and out of the restaurant, there was an eye-catching sign at the door of the restaurant, which said "minimum consumption of 1,000 yuan", and I pinched the two tickets in my hand into a ball.
There's a lot of anger in my heart, I really hope I'm funny, and I can vent at any time if I'm unhappy!
When I first moved in with Funny, she was using a washing machine that had been in use for almost twenty years, and it was a bit leaky. She was so bold that I was afraid of death, so I had to hand wash my clothes for a week. A compatriot suddenly returned to China and sold all the furniture cheaply, so I bought a new washing machine with the original price of 500 euros for 50 euros. The function of the washing machine is very fine, the volume of the washing is divided into large, medium, small and very little, and the material is divided into cotton, linen, silk, wool and chemical fiber fabrics. It takes 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour and an hour and a half. The washing system is divided into washing, washing and drying, and washing and drying and drying. What drives Funny the most crazy is the temperature: cold/hot, cold/hot, cold/lukewarm, fair/lukewarm, fair/cold. Funny had a live-in nanny for 30 years. That washing machine almost made her cry, and she thought I had brought a menopausal machine to her home. She yelled and pointed at me and said, "Iamgonnasueyou!" ”
From that day on, whenever I upset her, she threw out this sentence - Iamgonnasueyou!
In 2011, emoji was added to iOS by Apple, which is a fashionable and new thing for major mobile phone manufacturers and mobile phone users. I also started using it under the recommendation of Yi Xu. The first time I sent Funny, she said I hurt her, I sent her a smile and a mischievous laugh, but she said I was laughing at her for not having teeth. At that time, she began to throw two words directly at me - Sueyou!
People should be like her, who can't express their dissatisfaction for a minute.
If it takes more than a minute, it will accumulate into a disease!
I aimed my fist at the second floor where Zhong Pei and the others were going, and yelled, "Sueyou!" (Sue you!) )
What does Sueyou mean? Is it suitable to say in this case? Is it suitable to say to Zhong Pei?
Whocares! )
