359 is a matter of trade-offs

"President Cao, hello, I'm Xu Jingli, and I'm here for an internship with you."

Looking at Xu Jingli's happy face, Cao Zhiqiang smiled all over his face: "Welcome, welcome!" Trerick Welcome! Hey, as a top student of Beijing Normal School, you can come to my small temple for an internship, and I am here to shine. ”

"Nothing." Xu Jingli smiled a little embarrassedly, and then lowered his voice and said, "I know, it's all thanks to President Cao, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come to you for an internship, President Cao, you are really powerful." ”

"It's over." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hand, "It's rare that you came to me to recommend yourself, if I can't get you here, wouldn't it make you look down on me?" ”

Xu Jingli playfully stuck out her tongue: "No matter what, from today onwards, I will intern with you, please take care of me." ”

"It should be, it should be." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

Xu Jingli smiled, and then looked at Xiang Dongfang, who was standing behind Cao Zhiqiang: "Senior Sister Xiang, we will be colleagues in the future, please take care of me." ”

Xiang Dongfang, who was dressed in a simple cadre uniform, smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, I came here a few days earlier than you, and since we are colleagues in the future, let's encourage each other together." ”

Seeing that the two of them were still polite, Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Okay, you two have to be polite, go back and find a time to be polite in private."

As for now, Secretary Xiang, as we said before, you can take Xiao Xu down first.

Go get to know everyone, and by the way, familiarize yourself with her work position, so as to get into the working state as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, President."

Xiang Dongfang nodded slightly, and then said to Xu Jingli: "Let's go, Xu Jingli, I'll take you to your work and get to know your colleagues by the way." ”

"Okay." Xu Jingli smiled, "Where are we going next?" ”

Xiang Dongfang smiled: "Let's go to the personnel department to go through the internship procedures for you first, and then I will take you to meet our Vice President Chen, and then Vice President Chen will take you to the editorial office of "Confidant" together to get to know everyone."

After that, you became an intern editor in the editorial department of Confidant.

As for your specific work arrangement, it depends on the meaning of Editor-in-Chief Yu, but don't worry, Editor-in-Chief Yu is very good and will take care of you. ”

"Oh, okay." Xu Jingli nodded, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang, "Then President Cao can't go over?" Why did Vice President Chen take me there? ”

Before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Xiang Dongfang took the first step and said: "President Cao still has important things to deal with, so there is no need to come forward in person for this kind of thing."

Besides, you, an intern, are already strange, and it's easy to gossip, but if President Cao comes forward in person, it's easy to misunderstand, and it's not good for everyone, understand? ”

Xu Jingli blinked, turned his head to look at Xiang Dongfang, then at Cao Zhiqiang, nodded and said, "I'm sorry President Cao, I was abrupt." ”

"Nothing." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Actually, it's not as serious as Secretary Xiang said, but you are the second college student since the establishment of our publishing house, even if you are just here for an internship, you will inevitably be easy to attract attention. …

Therefore, I will not come forward to arrange a job for you this time, lest everyone think that you and I have something to do.

But don't worry, Vice President Chen is highly respected, or sent by the factory, and if he comes forward to introduce you, others will think that you are a college student sent by the factory, so they won't think about it much, understand? ”

"I don't understand this." Xu Jingli shook her head.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Go back and let Secretary Xiang, that is, your senior sister, tell you about it, and you will understand when the time comes." ”

"Oh, got it." Xu Jingli nodded.

"Alright." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Without further ado, I won't tell you more, you go out with Secretary Xiang first, get familiar with the working environment, and then work as soon as possible, so as to enter the state as soon as possible." ”

Xiang Dongfang also smiled and nodded: "Xu Jingli, come with me, I'll take you to your job." ”

Xu Jingli was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and seemed to be a little reluctant: "Then, President Cao, can I still come to you in the future?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang was also stunned, looked at Xu Jingli's somewhat implicit eagerness in his eyes, and frowned instinctively, but soon smiled: "We are also a formal unit here, and during working hours, we still have to follow the rules and regulations, and work hard." ”

"What about privately?" Xu Jingli asked, "No, I mean, after work, can I come and ask you about poetry and songs?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Poetry and songs, I'm not good at this, after all, I'm a high school dropout, how can I compare with your famous college students." ”

"How so." Xu Jingli said, "Talent is not directly related to academic qualifications, although you did not go to university, but your poetry is amazing, you can be called the first young poet of our time."

And not only do you write poems well, but you also write songs and sing very well.

Your song "Red Flag Fluttering" has now resounded all over the country and is famous all over the world, and everyone who has heard it says it is good.

Now, you are the idol of our young people, and we all admire and worship you.

By the way, especially my sister, she adores you so much and always wants to see you.

I don't know if you have time, can I invite you to dinner privately and meet my sister by the way? ”

"Xu Jingli!" Xiang Dongfang suddenly frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" Are you here for an internship, or are you here to chase stars? Do you know what you're doing? ”

"Alright, alright." Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't scare her." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Xu Jingli: "Xu Jingli, I understand your feelings, but I still hope you can restrain yourself." After all, you are now an intern at our publishing house, and you are also our colleague, not my fan. ”

"Fans?" Xu Jingli wondered, "What is a fan?" ”

"Fans, well, is the transliteration of English fans, which means star chaser." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"Oh, I see." Xu Jingli nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Yes, so, you must understand that when you enter me, you must abandon your identity as a fan and star chaser, strictly abide by the rules and regulations here, and do your own job." …

If you can't resist your urge to chase stars and can't do the job, then you might as well get out of here early. ”

"No, I didn't mean that." Xu Jingli hurriedly said, "I'm ...... Well, I'm sorry, I was reckless, I will study hard and I will definitely be able to do this job! ”

"Good." Cao Zhiqiang said expressionlessly, "Since you want to join our big family and be our colleague, you must first understand one thing, that is, abide by the rules."

Although there are not many rules here, there are still basic upper and lower humility.

You're just an intern, all you have to do is listen to your seniors and do your job.

Don't be too ambitious and interfere too much in my personal situation as the president.

Even, out of the principle of confidentiality, if you have family members and relatives who want to inquire about my personal situation through you, you should also ask three questions, nothing to comment, and absolutely not leak my personal information.

This is the basic principle for you to come here to work, as a grassroots employee!

I say that, can you understand? ”

"Understood!" Xu Jingli nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say anything about you, even if my sister asks me, I won't say a word." ”

"Good, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and then said to Xiang Dongfang, "Secretary Xiang, take her out, finish the formalities first, teach her well by the way, and let her enter the state as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, President." Xiang Dongfang bowed slightly to Cao Zhiqiang.

After that, Xiang Dongfang said to Xu Jingli: "Xu Jingli, come with me." ”

Xu Jingli bowed slightly to Cao Zhiqiang, and then followed Xiang Dongfang out of the office.

When Xu Jingli and Xiang Dongfang left the office, and Cao Zhiqiang was the only one in the entire office again, Cao Zhiqiang sat back in his office chair, massaged his temples with both hands, and let out a long breath.

Well, it's already mid-June, and it's been more than half a month since Cao Zhiqiang fled from Yu Yuanyuan's house.

That night, Cao Zhiqiang finally used a trick to delay the army, temporarily stabilized Yu Yuanyuan and Yu Fangfang, and then ran out of Yu's house and ran a long way in one go.

When I stopped, I realized that I had run out into the street.

Fortunately, when he ran to the street, the street lights were brightly lit, otherwise, he was in a trance, and he might have encountered some gangsters blocking the road.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang found that there was a huge capital, and he suddenly had nowhere to go.

Thanks to his family's wealth and countless properties, he really didn't know where to go for a while after running out of the house of a woman who wanted to sleep with him.

thinks that he is a traverser with a plug-in, talented, powerful and rich, but in the end, because of a woman, he became a lost dog.

Why is this happening?

He was lost in thought for a moment.

Then he realized again that the key was that he was not pure enough.

He's not a good guy, and he's not thorough enough.

He's not a bad guy either, not completely bad.

He wants to enjoy the pleasure of the Aquaman scumbag.

But on the other hand, I want to enjoy the happiness of a dedicated man. …

Both sides want it, how can this work?

So, it's not okay to step on two boats, you always have to choose one side.

Obviously, being a good person, you are too bad, just look at the stupid pillar of the good person, what kind of person is sucked into.

As a bad guy, it looks very cool, but the end may not be good, just look at Xu Damao, few people really like him.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang is still very entangled in what to do.

In fact, he prefers to be a scumbag, but it's easier said than done.

How can the three views and moral concepts formed over the past few decades be so easy to change at once?

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang still sighed, and then subconsciously went to the West Sea, where Hao Shuwen lived.

This was indeed a knee-jerk reaction, because he subconsciously felt that only a mature woman like Hao Shuwen, who had also been injured, could soothe his heart.

And Hao Shuwen is also proficient in music, and she has a common hobby with him, so it's better to go there.

So he went.

When Cao Zhiqiang went to Hao Shuwen's house, Hao Shuwen was planning to wash her feet and sleep.

As a result, after seeing Cao Zhiqiang suddenly come to the door and still sullen, he really asked for warmth.

Cao Zhiqiang, who was also a ghost at the time, actually said the matter with a little deletion.

Well, the meaning of a little deletion is mainly to delete some of Cao Zhiqiang's original ideas that he couldn't say, but he probably explained the process.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that after he said that, Hao Shuwen would scold, calling him a scumbag, and even he was ready to break up with the other party.

But Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help it, and really wanted to find someone to talk to.

But what I didn't expect was that Hao Shuwen, a woman who obviously hated her husband for looking for a mistress, actually started to double standard.

She actually understood Cao Zhiqiang very well, but felt that Cao Zhiqiang was right, and Yu Yuanyuan was not wrong.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang was dumbfounded, Hao Shuwen actually said another opinion.

Hao Shuwen told Cao Zhiqiang at the time that for a woman, normally speaking, of course, she wants to live with only one man for the rest of her life.

But that's just a woman's highest dream, and it's often hard to achieve in reality.

Under normal circumstances, women get married for the sake of life and make do with it, and there is no love at all.

She also said that when she married her current husband, it was a marriage between the two families, and the two sides didn't even look at each other right before, but they came together because of the family marriage.

Originally, she also accepted her fate, if it wasn't for her husband who really went too far in the end, not only living with Xiao San, but even wanting to kick her and marry Xiao San, she wouldn't be so angry.

In other words, according to Hao Shuwen, of course, women want to grow old with the man they love the most, but most of them can't do it, and most of them can't meet the man they like.

If you can really meet the man you like, even if this man is a little distracted, there are even other women.

As long as this man is good enough, so good that he can ignore the shortcomings of the other party, he is the most suitable man.

Women are not as rational as men, they are actually more emotional, and they are more likely to have a spirit of sacrifice, and they are not often said to have a strong desire for exclusivity. …

It is precisely men who have a strong desire for exclusivity.

Then Hao Shuwen said that Cao Zhiqiang is young, handsome and golden, can write poems, sing and play the piano, and is excellent in every aspect.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang is also very hurtful, knowing that he respects women, and when he is with women, he sincerely helps each other without asking for anything in return.

How many women don't love such a good man?

If you don't encounter it, once you do, how can you be willing to let go?

For this reason, even if it is to compete with other women, it is not hesitating.

That's right, according to Hao Shuwen's analysis, the reason why the sisters Yu Fangfang and Yu Yuanyuan put forward the idea of two women serving one husband together is that they want to use this method to fight with that Qinghong and compete with him as a good man.

Because if Yu Yuanyuan doesn't do this, she won't even have the opportunity to stay by Cao Zhiqiang's side, so how can she compete?

But once the idea of two women serving one husband is proposed, there will be a chance to stay by Cao Zhiqiang's side, and he can compete with that Qinghong on the same stage openly.

When the time comes, whoever wins and who loses depends on the means.

Moreover, even if the last Yu Yuanyuan fails, at least it will not be a complete failure, at least she can get half of Cao Zhiqiang, it is worth it.

A woman is willing to give up her self-esteem and is willing to be a man's lover, it must be that this man can bring her what she wants.

This thing she wants can be money, work, or feelings.

In the final analysis, it is because Cao Zhiqiang is too good and excellent as a man.

For example, she Hao Shuwen never thought that she would take the initiative to hook up with a man other than her husband, after all, she thinks she is also a traditional good woman.

But after seeing him Cao Zhiqiang, he was hopelessly attracted, and then he missed him more and more, and became more and more unable to extricate himself, and finally couldn't help but take the initiative to do that kind of thing, and was willing to become Cao Zhiqiang's de facto underground lover.

Is she Hao Shuwen born shameless?

Not.

Isn't it because you've had a failed marriage that you're desperate for a true love?

He Cao Zhiqiang is the man Hao Shuwen really wants, even if this man is not perfect, he has many shortcomings, but compared to the advantages, those shortcomings are insignificant.

To put it bluntly, it's not that complicated, it's just a matter of trade-offs.
