Chapter 80: Reunion
After a detailed examination by a health care doctor, Chen Xueyi was fine, but because of the rain, she had a severe cold, and the high fever did not go away. And these days, Zhou Jing is often by her side, giving her meticulous care, and the relationship between the two has gradually become closer, which is reflected in the title, from the four-word brother Zhou Jing, abbreviated as Brother Jing, Zhou Jing also responded to her request, no longer called the second miss, but changed to Xue Yi, the younger sister is not easy to call, he doesn't want to give people the feeling of climbing high branches, this may be subconscious vanity at work, Zhou Jing is aware, but he doesn't want to change.
After getting along day and night these days, Zhou Jing has a deeper understanding of the Chen family, and has also met other people besides the Chen family sisters and Chen Lao, including Chen Yongtai, the eldest of the Chen family and now the helmsman of the Jinghu Group, and the second child, Chen Yongqing, who is the third-ranked deputy minister in a ministry in the capital. Among them, Chen Yongtai and his wife often come over, and Chen Yongqing doesn't know why, the relationship with his family is very stiff, he rarely goes home, and when he came over in the afternoon before yesterday, he just did some things by the way, even so, he quarreled in the main house in front of him for half an hour before he brushed his sleeves and left.
For these two brothers, Chen Xueyi is not very fond of them, and she also has a lot of criticism for the two sisters-in-law, thinking that the eldest sister-in-law is a money fan, and can do a lot of sad things regardless of blood and family affection for money, and the second sister-in-law is a bitter and mean woman, instigating between her mother-in-law and her husband all day long, making the family restless, full of contradictions, sometimes when making trouble, even the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not good, which makes Old Man Chen very sad, and what makes her most angry is that none of these two brothers can afford to be a family, and they are all eaten to death by their daughter-in-law, What she admires the most is her third brother Chen Yongqiang, who works in the Chengdu Military Region, worships major generals, and is very close to some hawks in the army.
Zhou Jing listened, but a little disapproving, he knows very well, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the two men of the Chen family, since they are both successful people with successful careers, they are by no means as unbearable as Chen Xueyi imagined, especially the boss Chen Yongtai, although there is only one side, but his kind of down-to-earth and heavy-minded, old and serious demeanor left a deep impression on Zhou Jing, Chen Lao has retired for some years, Chen Yongtai took over the family business from the old man, can be well organized and thriving, this is more than any other explanation, is more convincing, Chen Xueyi is just a girl in the flower season, simple and cute, where can she understand the complexity of the outside world.
After a few more days, Chen Xuefei finally returned from abroad, and brought back Li Jiani who accompanied her, after more than two years of tempering, Li Jiani is like a strong woman in the business world who has been washed and reborn, which makes Zhou Jing happy, but also a little strange, that night, the two of them turned clouds and rain in the bedroom, lingering to death, and tossed until the second half of the night to see the stop, but after waking up, Zhou Jing felt a little inexplicably sad, he seemed to be able to feel that women were deliberately catering to themselves, And I seem to continue to prove something in this almost barbaric and primitive way, but in fact, two years of studying abroad is enough to change a lot of things.
Turning over, looking at the woman's quiet and delicate face, looking for the intimate feeling in the past, Zhou Jing was a little distracted, for a while, he reached out and took out a cigarette from the bedside table, lit it, took two puffs, and quietly got out of the quilt, changed clothes, came to the window, opened the window, but saw that the sky outside was just bright, Uncle He was standing in the middle of the yard, was solid, playing Tai Chi one move at a time, the old man's biological clock seemed to be the most sophisticated instrument in the world, almost every day at this time can get up to practice boxing, rain or shine, This is the real perseverance, touching the fat that quietly bulged on his lower abdomen, Zhou Jing felt that it was time to take action.
He smoked a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, turned his head to look, and saw that Li Jiani was still asleep, so he went to wash up, changed into sneakers, went to the yard, ran around the root of the wall, ran two and a half laps of kung fu, and saw the door of the west courtyard open, Wu Yimin walked out, the two had not seen each other for a long time, said hello, ran and chatted together, Wu Yimin walked to the root of the wall, practiced boxing against the sandbag, he and Uncle He's way is completely different, walking is a fierce way, punching is extremely fast, tiger and tiger, footwork is also extremely exquisite, Zhou Jing watched from the side, Tut-tut, so he asked Wu Yimin to teach him a few tricks, Wu Yimin agreed with a smile, pointed at the side, and learned from him.
Zhou Jing actually has a foundation, plus young and strong, agile, and good understanding, the two of them practiced in the yard for half an hour, he has already learned a few tricks, when he was happy, inadvertently, but saw a familiar figure under the shade of a tree more than ten meters away, it was Chen Xueyi, she didn't know when she got up, she was looking over here, Zhou Jing raised his hand and greeted her from afar, but Chen Xueyi turned a blind eye, there was no expression on his cold face, which made Zhou Jing feel very embarrassed, and chatted with Wu Yimin for a few words, turned around and walked back, Chen Xueyi tilted her head, looked at him coldly, and after a while, she returned to the next room and slammed the door.
Zhou Jing suddenly woke up, maybe she was too crazy last night, and forgot the feelings of the little girl, so she secretly regretted it, and blamed herself a little, but fortunately, Ming'er left, this little matter didn't bother him much, just thinking about it, opened the door, but saw Li Jiani sitting on the bed, holding a tissue in her hand, wiping the tears on her face, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, the appearance of the pear blossom with rain, let him see it, he was startled, hurriedly walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Jiani, what's wrong?" ”
Li Jiani shook her head and disguised: "It's nothing, maybe I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm too excited." ”
Zhou Jing looked at her, shook his head slightly, and said with a heavy heart: "No, you have something on your mind, you can't hide it from me." ”
Li Jiani smiled, stretched out her slender white fingers, touched Zhou Jing's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "No, don't think about it." ”
Zhou Jing sighed and said, "Otherwise, end the life of separation between the two places, or you go back, or I will come over." ”
Li Jiani giggled, wiped away the tears, crumpled the tissue, threw it out, and said with a smile: "Come on, I am tired of being together all day long, what else can I do with my children's private affairs, at least I want to start my career as soon as possible while I am young." ”
Zhou Jing smiled slightly, reached out to pick up her white and greasy chin, and said softly: "Jiani, are you telling the truth?" ”
Li Jiani blinked her delicate eyelashes, looked at him with watery eyes, and said softly: "Of course! ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "That's okay, when do you miss me, make a call, and I'll fly to you." ”
Li Jiani shook her head with a smile and said softly: "No, I want your heart, not your person." ”
Zhou Jing suddenly felt a little guilty, grabbed her pair of white and tender little hands, put them on her chest, and said with a smile: "The heart is there, and the people are there." ”
Li Jiani tilted her head, pillowed her head on his shoulder, and muttered, "Xiaojing, you are much more mature." ”
Zhou Jing was surprised and smiled: "What do you say?" ”
Li Jiani raised her head and chuckled: "I can feel it, you are much more stable than before, and you are more like a man." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "You too, you have become a strong woman." ”
Li Jiani stroked her hair and said softly: "Yes, I never dreamed that there would be today's results." ”
Zhou Jing remembered the previous days, and was also very emotional, and said with a smile: "Jiani, you are indeed very lucky, it only took two years to realize your previous ideals." ”
Li Jiani smiled shyly and said softly: "It's all taught by the eldest lady, without her guidance, how can I have made such great progress." ”
Zhou Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Concubine Xue is fine, but it's colder." ”
Li Jiani pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "She is cold-faced and hot-hearted, in fact, the eldest lady is very good, and her subordinates like her very much." ”
Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "I can feel that everyone is loyal, and this team is very good." ”
Li Jiani nodded with a smile, and said convincingly: "The eldest lady is very smart, she is a natural business wizard, as long as she works hard to run one thing, she rarely fails." ”
Zhou Jing stretched out his fingers, scraped the bridge of her delicate nose, and smiled: "Jiani, you are just as good, you have to have confidence in yourself." ”
Li Jiani shook her head and frowned: "No, the gap is too big to make up for it, I just concentrate on my work and try to make up for the lack of ability through diligence, but fortunately, over the years, it has been quite smooth and there have been no big mistakes." ”
Zhou Jing smiled, nodded and said, "Of course, my woman, naturally can't be wrong." ”
Li Jiani smiled, her expression stretched, and she said: "You, don't be too proud, if you really want to work in the capital for a few years, you will know, there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, the world is big, there are capable people everywhere, and it is not easy to get ahead." ”
Zhou Jing snorted, looked at her silently, and after a while, he said: "It's still the same sentence, one of us is in the business world, the other is in the officialdom, mutual benefit and reciprocity, watch and help each other, and after a few years of struggle, we will see whose achievements are greater." ”
Li Jiani smiled, got dressed, and said slowly: "Xiaojing, there is something I want to tell you, don't be angry!" ”
Zhou Jing's heart jumped, his mood became nervous, and he said uneasily: "What's the matter?" ”
Li Jiani wanted to speak and stopped, for a while, before she said cautiously: "The company is developing very smoothly, the country has been straightened out, according to the established plan of development, there will be no problems, the task now is to open up the international market, the company held a meeting, after discussion, everyone thinks that it is better for me to go out, no accident, probably going abroad for a few years." ”
"Play the piano!" Zhou Jing had a headache and said dissatisfiedly: "To develop overseas markets, not only do you need decision-makers to have brains, but also have a certain level of foreign language proficiency and be able to maintain good communication with foreign businessmen. ”
Li Jiani pursed her lips and smiled, opened her delicate mouth, and said a fluent piece of English, and then, stretched out her finger, tapped his head, and said stupidly: "I said, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely improve, and the foreign language has passed the sixth level!" ”
Zhou Jing listened, a stunned expression appeared on his face, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Very good, Jiani, you have indeed made great progress." ”
