Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 226 Gu Jia accompanies wine
Zhong Xiaoqin was a little panicked about such a big pregnancy, and she immediately called Gu Jia.

When the call was connected, Gu Jia smiled and said:

"Hey, Xiaoqin, what's wrong?"

"Hey, Gu Gu, what should I do with the two bars?"

Zhong Xiaoqin asked at a loss like a little girl. In fact, she was older than Gu Jia, but she had always looked soft and weak. Instead, she looked like Gu Jia's sister. Ask her for her opinion on everything.

"What two lines are there? Please explain it clearly."

"Pregnancy test, I seem to be pregnant."

"Then you're pregnant. I'll accompany you to the hospital another day. That's not 100% safe."

Gu Jia whispered:

"Hey, I'm at Mrs. Wang's house now. I won't tell you anymore. I'll call you later."

"Oh, why are you answering the phone? Then hurry up and get busy."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Xiaoqin muttered to herself somewhat distressedly:

"Oh, what should I do?"

……

On the other side, Yuan Xudong's home.

After several lingering moments, Yuan Xudong and Wang Manni finally came out of the bedroom. After washing together, Wang Manni began to visit Yuan Xudong's house.

Looking at the luxuriously decorated and spacious mansion in front of her, Wang Manni liked it. She looked at Yuan Xudong beside her and said with a smile:

"Xudong, can I take some photos?"

"Of course you can. You can take as many photos as you want. You don't need to ask my opinion."

Looking at the happy Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong smiled softly and said:

"Manni, this will be your home from now on. You can do whatever you want in your own home."

"Thank you."

Looking up at the gentle Yuan Xudong, Wang Manni took the initiative to hug him. She nestled in his arms and murmured happily:

"Xudong, you are so kind to me, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? You should. Am I not your boyfriend?"

Yuan Xudong held Wang Manni with his left hand, gently stroked her long hair with his right hand and said with a smile:

"I only have one request for you, be obedient from now on, okay?"

"Okay."

Letting go of the clingy Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Okay, you go take pictures and I'll prepare lunch."

"Let me help you."

"No, forget it for today. You can help me later."

"Ok."

After watching Yuan Xudong prepare lunch, Wang Manni began to take pictures with her mobile phone, especially the scenery outside the balcony. She took several selfies, standing on the balcony, with the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower, the landmark building of Shanghai, behind her. Tower, such a mansion gave Wang Manni's vanity greater satisfaction than ever before.

Isn't the high-quality and exquisite life she has always wanted to pursue like what she has now?

Before she was about to turn thirty, she finally lived such a high-quality and exquisite life. At this moment, she wanted to share her joy with others.

So, she posted a picture on Moments:
[Today I discovered for the first time that this city I have lived in for eight years is so beautiful. 】

The accompanying pictures are naturally Wang Manni's selfies. The background is Yuan Xudong's home, as well as the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower outside the balcony. A sense of high-quality and exquisite life is conveyed to the people Wang Manni knows through the circle of friends.

Soon someone liked and commented on this Moments post posted by Wang Manni:

[Nini, where are you? 】

[What a beautiful house. Is this a hotel? 】

[This is the house in Junyue Mansion. 】

[Nini, tell the truth, did you become rich overnight? 】

[I’m so envious. I also want to live in such a mansion. What should I do? 】

[In the next life, there are some things you didn’t have when you were born, and there is a high probability that you won’t have them in this life. 】

……

Looking at these comments in Moments, Wang Manni replied to a few:
【I'm at my boyfriend's house. 】

[I didn’t get rich overnight, and I was so poor that I almost drank the northwest wind. 】

……

After lunch, Wang Manni went to work in the store. As soon as she entered the store, she was surrounded by other sales groups.

"Nini, I really belong to you. You can live in a big mansion so soon."

"Nini, what does your boyfriend do?"

"Nini, can we go to your boyfriend's house to meet him?"

……

With Nancy's help, Wang Manni finally got rid of these chattering colleagues. She walked into the employee changing room and changed into work clothes. Nancy smiled beside her and said:
"Manni, congratulations, your dream has finally come true before your thirtieth birthday."

"Thank you."

Wang Manni smiled slightly and applied lipstick in front of the mirror. Nancy continued:

"You usually work so much harder than others, and now God will give you everything."

Wang Manni also feels that what she is getting now is the reward of her own hard work and persistence over the years. She said with some emotion:

"Yes, I don't even dare to drink when I'm on duty because I'm afraid I'll have to go to the toilet. As soon as a customer sends a WeChat message, he comes to the store immediately and there's no way to leave."

This was heard by Linda who walked in, and she said jealously:

"You don't drink water or go to the toilet. Who else doesn't? Why do you deserve any credit?"

Wang Manni ignored her. After Linda left the changing room, Nancy said:

"Don't talk to her. I think she is just jealous of you and doesn't want to see anyone else living a better life than her."

"I'm too lazy to talk to her."

"Nini."

Looking at Wang Manni, Nancy gossiped:
"Did you stay at your boyfriend's house last night?"

"correct."

"So do you have that?"

"Which one?"

Wang Manni deliberately pretended not to understand. Seeing her like this, Nancy blushed and asked directly:

"That's it. You guys, have you ever done this?"

"What do you say?"

Looking at Nancy, who was a few years younger than herself, Wang Manni admitted directly. She smiled and said:
"A man and a woman are alone in the same room. When the atmosphere is right, it's natural to do it."

"so shy."

Saying shyly, Nancy continued to ask with excitement:

"Then is he great?"

"It's quite impressive."

Wang Manni blushed a little. When she heard her say this, Nancy covered her mouth and snickered:

"It's so exciting."

"If you find it exciting, you can also try it with a boyfriend."

"No, she is still a young lady."

……

In the afternoon, Yuan Xudong’s home.

Yuan Xudong received a WeChat message from Zhong Xiaoqin, saying that he had something to discuss with him, so he invited her to his home.

living room.

Zhong Xiaoqin was wearing an open yellow jacket, lined with a black and white striped round-neck shirt, and her lower body was in light blue ripped jeans. She was sitting on the sofa, looking at Yuan Xudong with a pair of watery, bright eyes. , blushed a little and said shyly:

"Mr. Yuan, I, I want to discuss something with you."

"You said."

Looking at the blushing and shy Zhong Xiaoqin, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"I will definitely help if I can." "That's it..."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhong Xiaoqin tentatively said with some guilt:
"Can you lend Gu Gu some money?"

"Gu Jia?"

"Uh-huh."

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin who nodded hurriedly, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"How much does she want to borrow?"

"so much."

Zhong Xiaoqin gestured with two fingers. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Twenty million?"

"No, no, not 20 million, but 2 million."

Zhong Xiaoqin was so frightened that she quickly explained. She looked at Yuan Xudong with wide eyes, wanting to see what his reaction would be next.

Yuan Xudong also looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, he smiled and asked:

"Two million is not much, but Gu Jia and I don't have much friendship. Do you think you would lend money to a stranger casually?"

"will not."

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head. She looked at Yuan Xudong with some disappointment and apologized:

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't be like this."

"It's none of your business. Your friend didn't do a good job in this matter. However, she is a bit clever."

Looking at the silly Zhong Xiaoqin, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"I won't lend money to Gu Jia, but I will lend it to you, so do you want to lend me money?"

"what?"

Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes widened in surprise. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong walked to her and sat down, laughing softly in her ear:
"If you believe your best friend, then help her borrow these two million, then do you believe her?"

"Of course I believe Gu Gu, she is not someone who borrows money and refuses to repay it."

Zhong Xiaoqin said with certainty on her face, she moved to the side, avoiding Yuan Xudong and said:

"Are you really willing to lend me money? How much is the interest?"

"Interest..."

Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Just one cent of the profit. If you are willing to let me hug you, I won't take the interest. How about that?"

"You have a beautiful idea, who wants you to hug me?"

Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and said coquettishly. She glared at Yuan Xudong fiercely, but couldn't help but think of the dream she had last night. She felt a little panicked. She blushed and said shyly:
"I'm leaving first. I'll go back and discuss borrowing money with Gu Gu."

"Okay, then I'll give it to you."

"Ah."

……

At the same time, Gu Jia's house.

Gu Jia received a call from her company, saying that Xu Huanshan had a quarrel with Mr. Wan at the company.

After hearing the bad news, Gu Jia hurried to the company. She finally convinced Mr. Wan, but why did something happen again in the blink of an eye?

Camry Fireworks Company.

Seeing Gu Jia coming, Xu Sheng quickly explained the situation to her and said:

"Sister Jia, Mr. Xu is losing his temper in the office. Go and persuade him."

"What's going on?"

Gu Jia frowned and asked:

"Where's Mr. Wan?"

"Not long after he left, Mr. Xu threw the information on him and drove him away."

Gu Jia was obviously stunned when she heard what Xu Sheng said. She walked into Xu Huanshan's office and saw folders and fireworks design drawings scattered everywhere on the floor. She glanced at Xu Huan, who was sitting in a chair with an ugly face. Mountain, she looked at Xu Sheng beside her and smiled:
"Xu Sheng, you and everyone should go eat first."

"Okay, Sister Jia."

After sending Xu Sheng and other employees in the company away, Gu Jia looked at the silent Xu Huanshan and asked with a smile:

"Why did you start a fight with Mr. Wan?"

"I have had enough of him for a long time. Every year he goes too far. There is no lower limit for cost reduction. He asked me if I have any fireworks that are about to expire or have just expired. Don't destroy them and keep them for him to use. This is all Who is he?"

Xu Huanshan said:
"When I design fireworks for people like this, am I not making dumplings to feed the pigs?"

Gu Jia didn't say anything. She silently packed up the folders and fireworks design drawings that Xu Huanshan had thrown on the floor. Xu Huanshan sat there and continued to vent his anger:
"I've been told time and time again that there are problems with this plan. Isn't it because I want to reduce costs? Sometimes I wonder, if I open this fireworks company, is it closer or further away from my dream? In the past, I was only responsible for the design. Regardless of my plan, no matter how unrestrained I am, at least I feel that I am still an artistic person, but now?
Whenever I come up with a new plan, the first words waiting for me are always how much is the cost and how much is the profit. I feel very boring. "

After Xu Huanshan finished venting, Gu Jia said:

"I know you don't like these things. Otherwise, how about I go talk to Mr. Wan?"

"Don't go!"

Looking at Gu Jia, Xu Huanshan said angrily:

"Gu Jia, let me tell you, I will never compromise this time!"

"Okay, calm down. I know Mr. Wan is not a very good customer, but we cannot deny that the orders he gave us account for more than 50% of our annual profits. He is definitely a big customer."

Gu Jia advised, Xu Huanshan suppressed his anger and said:
"It's because of this that I have tolerated him not once or twice. I will never compromise this time!"

After looking at Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia said calmly:

"If we don't cooperate with him, the company's capital chain will be broken next month. Can we..."

Before Gu Jia could finish her words, Xu Huanshan interrupted her angrily. He looked into Gu Jia's eyes and asked:

"Except for money, have you ever done something for me that wasn't worth it?"

After saying that, Xu Huanshan stood up and left the office. Gu Jia was stunned for a while. In the end, she had no choice but to secretly contact Mr. Wan to apologize.

After getting through Mr. Wan's call, Gu Jia said humbly:

"Hello, Mr. Wan, I'm Gu Jia, yes, yes, I know everything. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"How about this? Give me a chance and I can explain it to you in person, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wan."

……

When she got home, Gu Jia changed into a sexy pale pink dress. After dressing up for a while, she asked Chen Xu to drive her to the Hilton Hotel to meet Mr. Wan.

Chen Xu is Chen Yu's younger brother. He is the driver of Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan. This job was introduced to him by Zhong Xiaoqin. For this reason, Chen Yu even had a big quarrel with Zhong Xiaoqin. He felt that this was taking Gu Jia's responsibility. If you want to be kind to them, you shouldn't cause trouble to others.

Zhong Xiaoqin almost died of anger. She kindly helped Chen Yu's brother find a job, but in the end she was scolded by him. What kind of logic is this?
Back to business, looking at Gu Jia who was sitting in the back row dressed up in a grand manner, Chen Xu asked tentatively:

"Sister, you are dressed very grandly. Are you going to meet an important client?"

"Ah."

Gu Jia hummed softly, and soon the Hilton Hotel arrived. She asked Chen Xu to stay in the car and wait while she walked into the hotel alone to meet Mr. Wan.

……

Hotel box.

Gu Jia walked into the box with her bag in her arms. She looked at Mr. Wan with a smile and said:
"Hello, Mr. Wan."

Looking at Gu Jia who was dressed sexy, Mr. Wan smiled and said:
"Gu Jia, you made an appointment with me, but I'm waiting for you. Doesn't this seem appropriate?"

Hearing this, Gu Jia raised his hand and glanced at his watch and smiled:
"It's not even five o'clock yet, Mr. Wan, it's you who arrived early."

Mr. Wan smiled and said:
"You said it's quite embarrassing for you to make an appointment at this time. Look, it's still bright today. Let's have dinner. Why don't you arrange a second dinner for me? But don't worry, I've already ordered all the food and drinks. , let’s just eat slowly, don’t be in a hurry, how about we wait until dark for the rest?”

Mr. Wan's words meant something, but Gu Jia saw the trick and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wan, please be considerate of me as a wife and mother. The child is still waiting at home."

"Why do you always ask me to be considerate?"

Mr. Wan laughed and said:
"You served me a drink to apologize today."

"Yes, I am here to formally apologize to you today. I hope you can forgive Huanshan and re-offer the order to our fireworks company."

Gu Jia smiled and said, Mr. Wan was noncommittal. He turned the dining table half a circle, turned a few glasses of poured white wine in front of Gu Jia and gestured.

After taking a look at Mr. Wan, Gu Jia naturally understood what wine table culture was, or a bad habit cloaked in culture. The superiors, elders, or other people in a dominant position used drinking to show off their status and show off their power. Take toasting as an example. When you sit down to eat with the elders in your family, not toasting them means disrespecting them. For a person who doesn’t smoke or drink, it’s especially uncomfortable. Either you choose to break your own living habits and toast to the other person. Or they will be labeled as disrespectful and ignorant, but why can't those so-called elders respect the younger generation's habit of not drinking?

Some young people are not used to these so-called elders. My parents are not willing to let me drink. You, a relative, didn't give birth to me and raise me. Why would you use your status as an elder to force me to drink?

You don't respect me, but you ask me to respect you?

Everyone has said that they don’t smoke or drink. If you insist on it for many years, it’s almost like a belief. If they don’t want to break this habit, why do you have to force them to break the habit?

Closer to home, Gu Jia had no choice but to force herself to drink for the sake of Wan’s order. When she finished the first glass of wine and was about to drink the second, Wan patted her thigh and joked:

"It's so tiring to drink standing up. Come on, sit here and drink. We're not in a hurry. We can drink slowly."
