Zhutian Film and Television: Happiness starts from childhood

Chapter 49 Sending warmth

Faced with Tong Wenjie's warm invitation, Zhao Hao agreed without much refusal.

He took the initiative to take the shopping bag from Tong Wenjie's hand, and the two of them walked upstairs together while chatting.

Entering her home, Tong Wenjie took out a pair of shoes for entertaining guests from the shoe cabinet and asked Zhao Hao to put them on.

"Come to my house casually. Sit in the living room and look at your phone for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to cook. I'll call you when it's ready." Tong Wenjie said with a smile on her face.

After saying that, she took the ingredients and walked to the kitchen, washed her gloves and put on her apron and started making fried noodles.

Zhao Hao did not listen to her words and stay in the living room, but followed her to the kitchen with light steps.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, opened it and took a few sips. At the same time, he looked at Tong Wenjie's furnishings and living room decoration.

It can be seen that although the family only plans to live in this house for a year and move out after their children finish their college entrance examinations, they still put great care into the decoration and furnishings.

The things in the living room are a bit messy, but not messy, and every corner is spotless.Fangyuan likes to raise fish and small animals. The fish tank at home is very lively and beautiful.

Compared with Song Qian's family, which is strict and orderly, Tong Wenjie's family has a more lively and colorful family.

Zhao Hao glanced at it and then focused on Tong Wenjie, who was cutting meat. She had a sad face when she didn't see him today, and only smiled reluctantly when she saw him.

What's more, today is Friday again, and she is also wearing a professional skirt. It looks like she is working in the company at noon. How could she go home to cook at noon? It is such a waste of time.

When people are abnormal, there must be ghosts, and when things are abnormal, there must be monsters!
Zhao Hao raised his head and took another sip of mineral water, then put the half-drunk bottle on the corner of the table. He stepped forward and took the initiative to help Tong Wenjie wash and chop the vegetables, and then casually explored:

"Sister Tong, you went home specially to cook for lunch. Is it because you're not used to the work's food?"

"Hmm~ I... I'm accompanying the leader to meet the client, and I'll be back after the business is concluded. I don't have to go to the company in the afternoon, so I just want to cook a meal by myself." Tong Wenjie answered hesitantly.

Seeing her evasive eyes and vague words, Zhao Hao made a rough guess.

He remembered that Tong Wenjie was attracted by her boss, who started to harass her after she was promoted, and even forced her to resign to avoid it.

She is probably in trouble now, but the situation is not serious. She may have chosen to suffer it silently, but she is very unwilling to do so.

Zhao Hao chose not to ask too much. After all, it was not relevant and there was no way to intervene. What's more, she was a woman and needed self-respect to save face. How could she be willing to tell a neighbor she had just met about the darkness she encountered in the workplace.

He calmed down and carefully chopped vegetables for Tong Wenjie. He cut the cucumber into thin slices with a kitchen knife and then cut it into shreds.

"What are you doing?" Tong Wenjie noticed his movements and looked at him in surprise.

"We don't need side dishes when eating fried bean paste noodles. I'll cut some cucumber shreds to eat with the noodles!" Zhao Hao looked at her seriously and replied.

"puff"

Tong Wenjie put her hands on her waist and smiled wildly.

She laughed and explained: "I actually forgot that you can't cook."

"Did I do something wrong?" Zhao Hao was puzzled.

"It's not wrong, it's just that your method is outdated." She said and took out the erasing board from the storage box next to her and asked Zhao Hao to try this black technology.After Zhao Hao took the cleaning board, he suddenly realized that his understanding of cutting vegetables was really outdated. Nowadays, no one is stupid enough to cut cucumbers into shreds.

He lowered his head to hide his embarrassment, took the grater and grated the remaining cucumbers into shreds, and then grated the radish into shreds and put them away.

After doing everything he could, the embarrassment on Zhao Hao's face disappeared, and he turned his head to admire Tong Wenjie's cooking.

"Sister Tong, your cooking skills are great. The fried soy sauce is shiny and fragrant!" Zhao Hao praised.

When Tong Wenjie turned back to look at him, she remembered what had just happened again. The corners of her mouth were raised unconsciously, and she smiled and chatted with him.

After the fried sauce was ready, Tong Wenjie cooked the noodles. The portions for two people came out in one pot, and the steaming noodles were cooked with a little cold water.

Soon, the two of them sat opposite each other at the dining table, with a bowl of fried noodles with delicious flavor and color at hand. Tong Wenjie also deliberately put some sugary garlic in the middle.

Zhao Hao lowered his head and took a sip. He felt that the noodles were quite well cooked, flavorful and full of ingredients.So he sincerely praised Tong Wenjie's cooking skills, and also praised her housekeeping skills.

Sincerity may not be a surefire move, but very sincere compliments are definitely a surefire move for auditory animals like women.

Even for Tong Wenjie, a wife and mother, her inner unhappiness was temporarily suppressed by Zhao Hao's sincere but not excessive praise.

As the chat progressed, Zhao Hao got to know Tong Wenjie better. She was actually very enthusiastic and considerate of others, but sometimes her temper was too hasty.

Her life is a bit messy, her husband is very nice but not very career-minded; her children are decent but not good at studies; her nephew is nice but too reserved.

The mid-life crisis coupled with the anxiety before her children's college entrance examination made her a little exhausted mentally and physically. She also had to deal with intrigues in the company and harassment from her bosses.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao secretly sighed that her life was not happy, and he should really give her some warmth.

After chatting for a long time, the two people who got along well finished their lunch. Zhao Hao and her fought to wash the dishes. When Tong Wenjie saw that she couldn't do it, she turned around and started preparing fruits after the meal.

The place where the two chatted was moved to the living room again. Tong Wenjie finally found Zhao Hao, a person who was good at chatting and listening. Naturally, she would not let him go easily.

She did not choose to complain. She just talked about her work in the workplace, summed up her gains and losses, and vaguely expressed her mental and physical exhaustion.

Zhao Hao, who was sitting aside, did not rush to speak, but looked at her very gently. After she finished speaking, he spoke.

As a man with great experience in the workplace, Zhao Hao gave her what he thought was the most reasonable solution based on the situation she faced, and encouraged her to be braver.

The workplace is very cruel. The more you think about it, the more angry you become. If you step back and kick your nose in the face, how can you develop upwards if you don't even dare to protect your own interests?
Tong Wenjie has been in the workplace for many years, but compared to Zhao Hao, her way of dealing with problems seems a bit immature and lacks long-term thinking.

Zhao Hao looked at the dejected Tong Wenjie and gave his advice very seriously:

"When facing someone with bad intentions, you must respond in a worse way than he does; don't be afraid of offending others, he dares to do evil to you, do you still want to forgive him?

Even when facing your boss, you must maintain a certain sense of distance and principles, and have the courage to say that you are not brave, otherwise he will only think that you are weak and can be bullied. "

After hearing Zhao Hao's enlightening words, Tong Wenjie's eyes began to light up, and she felt vaguely that she had met a friend worth making friends with.

Following her heartbeat, her guard was completely put down, and she unconsciously moved closer to Zhao Hao. The sitting posture of the two of them also gradually transitioned from dignified and generous at the beginning to casual and comfortable.
