After I Kicked My Ex-Husband, I Realized Financial Freedom

Chapter 147 Father
Zhang Xiaoxi's embarrassing toes could reveal three rooms and one living room. Li Rui seemed to see the discomfort in her eyes, and said instead: "You don't need to rush to reply me now, I can wait, no matter how long it takes."

Focus on sincerity?
Zhang Xiaoxi was stunned for a long time, but couldn't bear the doubt in his heart, and asked, "No, what do you think? Since you like me so much, why didn't you stay with me when you were in school?"

For some reason, Li Rui's expression suddenly dimmed when he mentioned this, and his voice became low: "There are many unavoidable reasons for this matter. You just need to know that it was not what I wanted."

Zhang Xiaoxi shrugged and didn't ask any more questions. After all, Li Rui was the original owner's Bai Yueguang, not hers.

After eating, the two returned to the car.

"Is there any place you want to go, I'll see you off."

Zhang Xiaoxi shook his head, "Just send me back to the company."

He took a deep look at her and said "OK" after a long time.

Before getting off the car, Li Rui told her to work less and rest more, and Zhang Xiaoxi separated from her.

Because he got off the car at the entrance of the company, Zhang Xiaoxi was besieged by several female colleagues as soon as he entered the company.

"Sister Xiaoxi is in a situation, tsk tsk, there are nearly [-] cars on the ground, and people without strength can't afford them!"

"I just saw that handsome man from the car window, sister Xiaoxi, please tell me what's going on."

Zhang Xiaoxi had expected such a result, she chuckled, "Old classmate, just in time to send me back, don't think too much about it."

Zhang Xiaoxi is a man of the day in the company recently, how can her colleagues not eat melons, even though she said so, these people still want to ask the bottom line.

Fortunately, when she was about to be overwhelmed by the melon-eating crowd, Liu Dashan called her upstairs to the office, which saved Zhang Xiaoxi's life.

Liu Dashan has sent a lot of work, the marketing director is equivalent to the company's top management position, in addition to maintaining key customers, there is still a lot of work to be done.

When Zhao Qiming was here before, Liu Dashan was worried about him, so he was the one who watched the big project. Now that Zhang Xiaoxi came up, he can trust her.

Holding seven or eight portfolios, Zhang Xiaoxi returned to the office. Just as he sat down to take a sip of water, the phone rang suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number.

She thought it was those headhunters who wanted to poach the wall again, but due to the nature of the job, she had to accept it.

"Hello."

silence……

Zhang Xiaoxi frowned: "Hello?"

It was silent again, for nearly half a minute.

Harassing phone calls?
Just as Zhang Xiaoxi was about to hang up, there suddenly came a vicissitudes, slightly trembling voice.

"Is it Xiaoxi? I'm Dad."

dad?

This word was so unfamiliar in the original owner's memory that she had to think for a long time before she could recall that long-ago face that was sealed in dust in her memory.

The original owner's father was Zhang Bin, an out-and-out farmer, but because he married Cao Meilan, a prodigal woman, the money from farming was far from enough for her to squander. In addition, he had to raise two children, so Zhang Bin had no choice but to go out. Work to make money.

The father in the memory of the original owner was always reticent, but compared to Cao Meilan, he was more inclined to Zhang Xiaoxi.

This may be Zhang Xiaoxi's only light in his native family.

Knowing that it was Zhang Bin's call, Zhang Xiaoxi's tone softened a lot. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone as steady as possible.

"What's wrong dad?"

Zhang Bin paused for a moment, as if he was a bit embarrassed to speak, and said falteringly: "I heard from your mother that you want to sue her?"

"Xiaoxi, I know that you have been wronged a lot these years because your mother favored Xiaofeng, and my father also feels sorry for you, but if there is something, our family will sit down and discuss it carefully. What's the matter if it goes to court? Listen to Dad, find some time..."

But before Zhang Bin finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoxi interrupted: "Dad, you only heard Cao Meilan tell you that I'm going to sue her. Did she tell you why I sued her?"

Zhang Bin was taken aback, obviously Cao Meilan didn't say anything, and she didn't have the face to say it either.

"Anyway, she is your mother..."

Zhang Xiaoxi sneered: "Is it my mother who can accept more than 130 million bribes from people who want me in my name? Is it my mother who can help me promise things I don't even want to do?"

"Dad, you know the character of Cao Meilan very well. You can ask her how much of the wages you brought back over the years she has saved? Which of the household appliances I bought at home was not bought by me? Zhang Xiaofeng has graduated for three years and has no job. , It’s only natural to eat at home, these are all good things Cao Meilan did!"

"You asked me to reconcile with her, you might as well tell me to die."

Zhang Xiaoxi's words made Zhang Bin speechless. In fact, he knew in his heart what kind of person Cao Meilan was.

After a long time, Zhang Bin took a deep breath, "Xiaoxi, do you have time tonight? Dad just comes home. Let's have a meal together."

"Just the two of us?"

"Yes." Zhang Bin seemed to have made up his mind, "I have something to tell you."

Zhang Xiaoxi still believed Zhang Bin's words. After all, although his father had no family status at home, he never deceived the original owner in his impression.

"Okay." She agreed, "I'll send you the address and time later."

"it is good."

The two made an appointment at 06:30 in the evening, at a Chinese restaurant near Zhang Xiaoxi's home.

After finishing work, Zhang Xiaoxi went home and changed his clothes to go to the appointment.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Bin was already waiting. He was sitting in the public dining area. His upper body was a starched gray shirt, and his lower body was a pair of overly loose black sweatpants, very plain.

This dress was bought when the original owner got married two years ago, and he has been wearing it until now.

For a while, Zhang Xiaoxi had mixed feelings in her heart. Although Zhang Bin was not her biological father, she watched Cao Meilan squander Zhang Bin's hard-earned money endlessly, while Zhang Bin was not willing to buy even a decent dress. Quite uncomfortable.

"Dad." Zhang Xiaoxi approached but didn't sit down, and only called out.

Zhang Bin hurriedly looked back, seeing Zhang Xiaoxi, a smile burst out on his face that was originally cramped with vicissitudes of life, and he replied: "Xiaoxi is here, sit down quickly, Dad treats you to delicious food today!"

Zhang Xiaoxi pursed his lips, didn't sit down, and just said: "Dad, there are many people here, let's go to the box to be quiet, I invite you today."

"No, no, dad, please, how can I make my daughter spend money!" Zhang Bin smiled happily, "The private room is fine. I asked the waiter just now, and he said that the private room will cost an additional 300 yuan, so we can just eat here."

"Let's go, go to the box, I'll treat you."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoxi's insistence, Zhang Bin got up and left without saying anything.

The waiter took the two of them up to the second floor and into a double box.

Looking at the luxurious and exquisite decoration in the room, Zhang Bin couldn't help but click his tongue: "It's different if you add more money, and the grade will go up immediately."

Zhang Xiaoxi scanned the QR code with his mobile phone to place an order, "Dad, what do you want to eat?"
