"Brother, brother, I heard that you are going to Japan again? When are you going, can you take me with you? ”

Hearing Qiao Simei's series of questions, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, and before he could think of how to answer, Cao Lili next to him objected with a straight face: "What are you talking about, my brother is going to do business, big things, not to play, besides, you still have to go to school, how can you have time to go?" ”

Qiao Simei pursed her lips and said, "You can ask for a leave." ”

"What please?" Cao Lili continued to teach her sister with a straight face, "Your homework is finally in the middle of the stream, and if you ask for leave and pull down so many classes, you will definitely be at the bottom again, how can this work?" ”

"Then I can come back and make up for it." Qiao Simei looked at Cao Lili with big eyes.

"Make-up classes?" Cao Lili pursed her lips, "Let you make up for a lesson, either it hurts here or it hurts, it's not uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable here, I don't believe you anyway." ”

Qiao Simei flattened her mouth, turned her head to look at Cao Zhiqiang, and kept coquettishly saying: "Brother brother, look at my sister, she bullied me again!" This time, you can tell me about her, will you agree to take me to Japan to have a look?

I don't have to go much, just three, just a week, I'll go for a week, and I won't miss much homework.

When I come back from Japan, I will study hard, make up for the homework I missed, and make sure that my exam scores are in the top 30, okay? ”

At this moment, Cao Lili suddenly put down her chopsticks, looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face and said, "Brother, let me make a statement first, this time, no matter what, you can't get used to the four beauties anymore!"

She is still a child, her self-control is very poor, if you continue to be so used to it, she will really be wasted! ”

Qiao Simei's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Brother, if you don't do this, this time you will take Sister Dongfang to Japan together!" That way, she can teach me my homework over there, so I can play while I don't have to worry about falling behind. ”

Speaking of this, Qiao Simei turned her head to look at Xiang Dongfang, who was just smiling and eating, but didn't interject much: "Sister Dongfang, don't you know Japanese, let's go to Japan together, you can also teach me some Japanese!" ”

"Qiao Simei!" Cao Lili glared at Qiao Simei, "You're enough, don't take an inch!" ”

Seeing that Cao Lili was angry, Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly played a round: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise, have a good meal, why do you make trouble for a little thing?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Qiao Simei: "Simei, I went to Japan this time, it is indeed a business matter, there are not many personal matters, it is not appropriate to take you there, because I don't have time to play around with you."

And your sister is right, it's school time and you can't afford to miss your homework.

Well, when you're on winter vacation, I'll take you to Japan for hot springs, skiing, and having some fun. ”

When Qiao Simei heard this, she blinked and said, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "But there is a premise, that is, the final exam before the winter vacation, you must take the top twenty in the class, if you can do it, I will take you there, if you can't do it, then forget it." ”

"Top twenty?" Qiao Simei immediately frowned, "This is too difficult." ”

"What's so hard." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Look at your sister, she was originally more than 30 people in the class, and now she is ranked eighth in the grade in the quiz." ”

As soon as she heard this, Cao Lili hurriedly said: "Thanks to Sister Dongfang's good teaching, if she hadn't given me make-up lessons day and night, and taught me a lot of tricks, I wouldn't have been able to progress so fast." So, brother, you have to thank people, and you have to give some gifts. ”

When Cao Zhiqiang heard this, he hurriedly raised a cup of tea and said to Xiang Dongfang: "Dongfang, my sister is right, thanks to your help, my two sisters can achieve rapid progress, and I am now here to thank you with tea instead of wine." ”

Xiang Dongfang hurriedly raised his teacup: "President, you killed me, this is what I deserve, after all, you let me live in such a good house, and you don't charge me rent, I should be thanked." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, shook his head and stood up: "Dongfang, what you said is too polite, in fact, I have long wanted to thank you, but I have never had the opportunity."

After all, you not only gave Lili and Simei a make-up lesson, but also helped my girlfriend Qinghong a lot.

Qinghong has always told me that she wants me to thank you well, after all, you have helped her a lot, and without you, she would not have been able to keep up with the progress of college.

It's just that she has to study at night now, so she can't come over and have dinner with us.

But it doesn't matter, I'll thank you on her behalf first, and then she will thank you alone in the future. ”

Xiang Dongfang stood up and said, "This is really not necessary. ”

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Hey, if you shirk it again, you just look down on me, and besides, this is not wine, it's just tea, come, touch one first." ”

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang say this, Xiang Dongfang had no choice but to touch the teacup with Cao Zhiqiang, but when he clinked the cup, he deliberately lowered the rim of Cao Zhiqiang's cup.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't force it, after clinking cups with the other party, he drank all the tea in each other's cups, and then sat down again.

After Xiang Dongfang also sat down, Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Dongfang, don't be restrained, I said, this is a private family banquet, and everyone is an old friend, don't be careful." ”

Xiang Dongfang smiled, but still sat on the side in a proper manner.

Seeing her like this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed secretly and didn't say anything anymore.

I thought that this second generation of officials would be as free and easy as before, but who knew that she was so restrained about herself now, which was a bit unexpected by Cao Zhiqiang.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang stopped thinking about this, after all, this time was indeed just a family banquet, and only he, Cao Lili, Qiao Simei and Xiang Dongfang were eating together.

There should have been Wu Qinghong, but Wu Qinghong had classes in the evening, so she didn't come.

As for why he ate this meal, he actually listened to Wu Qinghong's suggestion and specially came to thank Xiang Dongfang.

Because Cao Zhiqiang heard Wu Qinghong say that Xiang Dongfang has been busy until late at night after returning from work, he not only has to make up lessons for Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, but also for Wu Qinghong, and he is often busy until late at night.

That's it, the key items in the East are very efficient, basically have to answer all questions, and are very patient.

Cao Lili and Qiao Simei's situation will not be talked about first, at least Wu Qinghong herself feels that she has benefited a lot.

Wu Qinghong's original learning foundation was insufficient, and she was able to be admitted to university, but it actually relied on Cao Zhiqiang's cheating.

Therefore, once she went to college, Wu Qinghong quickly felt struggling, but it was only the first half of her freshman year.

In order to catch up with the progress and not to be out of school, Cao Zhiqiang recommended Xiang Dongfang to Wu Qinghong as Wu Qinghong's tutor.

After Wu Qinghong tried it, she immediately felt Xiang Dongfang's ability, so in order to catch up with the learning progress and increase the efficiency of making up classes, she simply moved out of her courtyard and lived with Xiang Dongfang.

And Xiang Dongfang lived with Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, so after Wu Qinghong came over, he could also enhance his relationship with the two future sisters-in-law by the way, which can be said to be a multi-win.

Seriously, at the beginning, Wu Qinghong was still a little inferior and worried, after all, she found that her talent and temperament were not as good as Xiang Dongfang, and Xiang Dongfang was still Cao Zhiqiang's personal secretary, and the contact time between the two would theoretically be longer than her, and she was afraid that Cao Zhiqiang would empathize and fall in love.

After all, compared with Xiang Dongfang, Wu Qinghong felt that he was inferior to anywhere.

Fortunately, Gu Zhenzhen enlightened Wu Qinghong in time, told Wu Qinghong about her strengths and weaknesses, and taught her how to do it.

According to Gu Zhenzhen, since the knowledge and temperament can't be compared, it is better than the mind.

Just like those original partners in ancient times, they may not be as talented and beautiful as concubines, but as long as they are not jealous and atmospheric enough, they can still tie a man's heart.

In other words, it is to let Wu Qinghong not compare herself with other women, but to give full play to her advantages.

What is Wu Qinghong's advantage, that is, she and Cao Zhiqiang were the earliest, and they were Cao Zhiqiang's officially recognized girlfriend.

As long as Wu Qinghong doesn't do anything wrong and doesn't let Cao Zhiqiang hate her, then she has a first-mover advantage and has a very important place in Cao Zhiqiang's mind.

As for other women, since they can't be stopped, they can't compare, so they simply don't compare, showing an open and inclusive attitude.

The more this is the case, the more it will make men feel guilty, and it will also make other women feel guilty, and they will be able to maintain their status.

Wu Qinghong had no choice, so he took such a method, and tried it on Yuanyuan's body, and the result was remarkable.

Not only that, Wu Qinghong also talked to Xiang Dongfang privately, and made it clear that she had no objection to Xiang Dongfang liking Cao Zhiqiang, and also said that she had no objection to Xiang Dongfang being good with Cao Zhiqiang, and even the two women had no problem serving a husband, as long as Cao Zhiqiang liked it, Xiang Dongfang also agreed, she had no problem here.

It was these remarks that frightened Xiang Dongfang and made Xiang Dongfang feel awkward.

You must know that although Xiang Dongfang has a good impression of Cao Zhiqiang, it is just a kind of admiration for Qiang and finding the same kind of love.

After all, Xiang Dongfang himself is a genius, and she thinks that Cao Zhiqiang is also a genius, so when a genius talks to a genius together, it will feel very relaxed and have a common topic.

Unlike chatting with other vulgar ordinary people, Xiang Dongfang always felt very painful.

However, no matter how comfortable I feel when I am with Cao Zhiqiang, I still have pride in my bones.

Let Xiang Dongfang be a junior, and even compete with other women for favor with a man, which she can't do.

Therefore, Xiang Dongfang not only repeatedly told Wu Qinghong that she didn't have that idea, and that she and Cao Zhiqiang were just ordinary working relationships, but also wanted to find an opportunity to talk about the situation with Cao Zhiqiang.

She hadn't had a chance before, but now, she seemed to have found a chance.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang, who was thinking about his voice, suddenly said, "That's right, I recently found a new house, which is quite good, so I want to move out in the near future, and I want to tell you." ”

"New house? Moving out? Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Dongfang, what's wrong, the original house is not satisfied?" ”

"Yes, Sister Dongfang." Cao Lili also followed, "Is it wrong for us to do something?" Or do you think we're too annoying? ”

"Neither." Xiang Dongfang smiled, "It's just that, thanks to President Cao's blessing, my recent income is okay, so I want to rent a house alone and have a separate space." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang looked at Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, and said with a slight smile: "I'm not saying that it's not good to live with you, it's not that I don't like you, I think you're annoying, but sometimes, my sister also wants a place to be alone, so she can rest alone." ”

"Ah, I understand!" Qiao Simei suddenly said, "Sometimes, I also want to have a space where I can be alone, I want a place where no one is around, I can understand and empathize with Sister Dongfang's thoughts!" ”

After glaring at Qiao Simei, Cao Lili looked at Xiang Dongfang: "Sister Dongfang, you really didn't move out because you hated us?" ”

"Not really." Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly, "I like you a lot, but you don't have to be together all the time, a little distance from each other, a little space, it might be better, don't you say?" ”

"Will you still come and give us homework?" Cao Lili asked.

"Absolutely." Xiang Dongfang said with a smile, "The house I rented is not far from your home, and I will go to make up lessons for you every night, and then go back after the make-up classes." ”

"That's not good." Cao Zhiqiang said suddenly, "Although crime is being cracked down everywhere now, it is still not safe for you to walk at night every day as a girl." ”

"It's fine." Xiang Dongfang said with a smile, "I basically take the avenue, it's fine." ”

Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin, suddenly stood up and said, "Lili, Simei, you eat first." Dongfang, you come out with me. ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang walked out of the door first and waited in the staircase corridor outside the door.

Soon, Xiang Dongfang also opened the door and came out, and then closed the door.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang, who came over, smiled, "May I ask what instructions do you have?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang looked at her, and then looked at the door: "It's nothing, I'm full, I want to take a walk, you come with me." ”

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang went downstairs first.

Xiang Dongfang frowned, but still followed Cao Zhiqiang's back door and went downstairs together.

As a result, as soon as they went downstairs, the door opened, revealing Cao Lili and Qiao Simei.

"Sister." Qiao Simei's face was eager to try, "Shall we go with us?" ”

Cao Lili frowned, then shook her head: "Forget it, my brother has made it clear that he has something to talk to Sister Dongfang alone, and he makes it clear that he doesn't want us to hear it, so don't go hard, it's not good to be discovered." ”

"Don't you want to know what my brother said to Sister Dongfang?" Qiao Simei said, "It is likely to have something to do with Sister Dongfang's going." ”

Cao Lili said: "Go or stay, that's their business, it's useless for us to follow the past, on the contrary, it may backfire with the past, I think it's better to be honest and stay at home obediently."

If my brother can convince Sister Dongfang to stay, then of course it would be the best.

If it doesn't work, Sister Dongfang still has to leave, then let's accept it honestly. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Lili closed the door and said to Qiao Simei with a serious face: "Simei, I will tell you solemnly again, don't think that my brother's kindness to us is justified, especially for you, don't think so."

My brother is good to us and good to others, but if you are always at a loss of measure, it is consuming my brother's patience.

If you keep going like this, if one day my brother gets impatient and doesn't want to care about us, then what should we do? ”

"No!" Qiao Simei shook her head, "Brother Cao is not that kind of person, he won't leave me alone." ”

"How do you know it's not possible?" Cao Lili said solemnly, "In this world, anything can happen, and no one owes anyone."

It is our blessing to be brothers and sisters with our brother, and we have to cherish our blessings, but we can't mess with them.

I'm not saying that you should be a bug to your brother, but that you should at least be sensible and don't always make trouble for your brother.

We will do what we can do, and if we don't do it, or some excessive requirements, it's better not to mention it.

For example, if you go to Japan to play, your brother can take the initiative to mention it, but you can't take the initiative to mention it.

My brother took the initiative to mention it, it was his good heart, but if you took the initiative to mention it, it was just a pampered and coquettish one, which was the way to take trouble.

Sister, sister is all for our good.

Do you still want to go back to your old home and live that poor life? ”

Qiao Simei immediately shook her head: "I don't want it, I don't want to go back, don't live the same kind of life again!" ”

"Then be an obedient child." Cao Lili said, "At least don't always make trouble for your brother, if you do your duty, your brother will definitely be indispensable to your benefits." ”

"But, but ......"

"But what?"

Qiao Simei frowned: "But when I see my brother, I can't help it!" I was so happy to see him, and then I couldn't help but say a lot of things, but it was just a brain. ”

Cao Lili sighed: "Then you will talk less in the future, or try to come with me, and I will help you check the gates."

Simei, I'm really doing it for your good!

No matter how close the brothers and sisters are, they must also understand proportion, not to mention that we are not related to our brother by blood, so we must understand proportion, understand? ”

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "I'll try my best." ”

"It's not as much as possible, it's definitely going to be done!" Cao Lili said, "Forget it, I've told you many times, don't talk about it, go back to the house and do your homework, and I'll personally supervise you." ”

"Huh?" Qiao Simei was dumbfounded, "Now? ”

"Of course." Cao Lili said with a straight face, "It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone, especially once Sister Dongfang leaves here, you have to learn self-discipline and learn to control yourself in the future."

Now, you have to adapt first, and I'll help you discipline first! ”

Qiao Simei flattened her mouth: "But I haven't eaten yet!" ”

Cao Lili narrowed her eyes, stared at Qiao Simei tightly, and didn't say a word.

Qiao Simei frowned, and flattened her mouth again: "Okay, okay, I can't go, really, how can there be a sister like you." ”

After saying that, Qiao Simei reluctantly went back to her room to do her homework, while Cao Lili followed closely beside her, staring at her to do her homework.

"Sister!" Qiao Simei, who took out her homework book, looked at Cao Lili with a straight face next to her, "You have a straight face like this, I, I can't write it!" ”

Cao Lili was unmoved: "Who told you not to do your homework earlier?" If you're like me, you finish your homework early after school, don't you play first, and then put it off until now? ”

Qiao Simei said: "Then I've always been like this, and I'm not you." ”

"No more so." Cao Lili said, "From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere after school, go home immediately, I will personally watch you write your homework, you are not allowed to go anywhere until you finish your homework, and you are not allowed to play anything." ”

"Good, good." Qiao Simei said, "Even so, that's in the future, if you look at me now, I really can't write it." ”

Cao Lili nodded: "Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go get my textbook, and then I'll review my homework next to me, you write your homework, don't interfere with each other." ”

After speaking, Cao Lili stood up and went back to her room to get textbooks and exercise books.

Seeing Cao Lili leave her room, Qiao Simei suddenly held her head with her hands and sighed: "Alas, my sister is so annoying, my life is so bitter!" ”
