Chapter 7 Seeking common ground while reserving differences
"Guo Xiaxia, let me tell you, there is no such store after passing this village! In the future, if you want to cry and talk to me about finding a job, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"I promise! I promise I won't give up again!" Xia Xia apologized to Xiaochun on the phone, "This time it's all my fault! But I have already called Jiang Youtian, and I have also called his family hall. Uncle called, and they all expressed their understanding—who can have trouble with money, Xiaochun, don’t you think so?”

Xiaochun loses face for making Jiang You busy all day, and takes Xiaxia's anger all on her.

"I'll invite him and you another day, let's go have dinner together! You can choose the restaurant, I will never frown!" Xia Xia continued to flatter her.

"Hoho! The payment will be paid as soon as the salary is raised!" Xiaochun was angry enough, and calmed down, "You should change your kennel first!"

"I'm already looking for it!" Xia Xia said cheerfully, "If you are free, come and pick with me. If you are willing, you can move in and live with me in the future!"

"Pull it down! If I dare to stay outside, my mother must give me flying shoes!"

"It doesn't matter whether you come to live or not. Anyway, when I change to a new residence, you are welcome to come and eat at any time. I will definitely prepare wine and food to entertain you!"

"That's what you said, I won't be polite to you!"

Listening to Xiaochun's increasingly cheerful tone, Xia Xia couldn't help but feel complacent in her heart, money is really a good thing, it can not only buy herself off, but also quench Xiaochun's anger.

Xia Xia's life finally ushered in the dawn.

In addition to the significant improvement in economic conditions, the attitude of her boss Tian Ning has also improved a lot recently. Although she cannot be said to be very kind, at least she no longer hurts her like before, and no longer only asks her to do something. As for the paper work, the salesmen hold seminars together. As long as Xia Xia is interested, he will let her in to listen in. This time he really treats her as his assistant.

"Guo Xiaxia, come with me!"

"Hey! Come on!"

Xia Xia was already used to Tian Ning's mindless handling.Don't question me too much, if he wants to tell you, sooner or later he will.

Anyway, as long as Tian Ning's request is not excessive, Xia Xia will bear it for money.

Tian Ning led Xia Xia out of the office building all the way, and stopped in front of his car in the parking lot: "Get in the car!"

"Okay!" Xia Xia was about to pull the co-driver's door to get in, but Tian Ning stopped him.

She looked up, and a key was thrown over in the air following Tian Ning's instructions: "You open it today!"

She shrank her neck in embarrassment, missed the key and hit her brow bone.

"Oh! It hurts!" She picked up the key and rubbed her brow bone.

"I've never seen you so unresponsive!" Tian Ning walked over with a frown and observed from a distance, but fortunately the skin was not broken.

"What are you doing in a daze? Get in the car!"

Xia Xia muttered: "I, I don't know how to drive."

Tian Ning stared at her speechlessly: "You can't drive, what kind of assistant are you! Remember to take the driver's license test!"

In order to keep the "golden job" she just got, Xia Xia turned around and went to the driving school to register.

So, the following scene was repeated again and again.

Tian Ning asked dissatisfiedly into the phone: "Guo Xiaxia, where have you been?"

"At the driving school! Didn't I leave a note for you!" Xia Xia was sweating profusely.

"Oh, when is the exam?"

"I don't know, the coach didn't say, anyway, the next batch will not be available."

"How long have you practiced? It must have been two weeks? Why can't you take the exam? Are you a particularly stupid kind of person?!"

Xia Xia called Qu: "I've only been here four times in the past two weeks, and each time is only an hour. It's not bad to be able to get in the car and practice two times!"

Complaints belong to complaints, and after getting out of the car, Xia Xia still went to discuss with the coach: "Well... when can I take the exam?"

The coach sat cross-legged on the armchair by the door, looked at her with a smile, and said earnestly, "What's the hurry, how can you stew a pig's head until you burn so much firewood?"

Xia Xia also laughed, and then the smile gradually changed, and she dared to feel that she was a pig's head that hadn't been stewed...

When Xiaochun heard that Xia Xia hadn't taken the exam yet, he immediately asked, "Did you give the coach a gift?"

Xia Xia was shocked: "No! This is also a gift?"

"Of course! The unspoken rules of the industry!"

"But the optical fee is already very expensive, why do you have to pay for it?" Xia Xia felt distressed, "How much should I pay?"

"I don't know the details. The situation is different in different districts. You should ask the person who learned to drive with you."

Xia Xia inquired in private, and it really happened.

"At least five hundred," a middle-aged aunt pointed out to her. "There is also one thousand, and some people don't give money, but give good wine and cigarettes. I also heard that people often invite coaches out for dinner!"

"Then... what if you don't give it?"

The aunt looked at her: "If you don't give it, just wait. When the coach finds you pleasing to the eye, he will let you take the exam."

After Xia Xia thought about it, she really couldn't afford to delay her time, so she could only swallow her anger and stuffed a red envelope to the coach.Turning around and complaining to Xiaochun again.

Xiaochun snorted: "What kind of righteousness are you playing now! Didn't you give it in the end?"

"I can't help it!"

"There is nothing anyone can do."

Xia Xia was very depressed: "Oh, I have Stockholm Syndrome."

But on the day she got her driver's license, she was still very happy. She wanted to show off to Tian Ning to prove her intelligence. Unfortunately, Tian Ning was away on a business trip. When he came back in three days, Xia Xia had already forgotten about it.

Every time Tian Ning came back from a business trip, his first words when he saw Xia Xia never changed: "Guo Xiaxia, the boss is back, why don't you wink? Come in quickly!"

Xia Xia mumbled and followed him into the door: "Boss, what are your orders?"

This time, Tian Ning was not in a hurry to order, and looked at her left and right with his eyes, which made Xia Xia's heart shudder, touched his face, and stroked his hair, thinking that something happened to make the creditor laugh.

She was about to open her mouth to ask a question, when Tian Ning suddenly said, "Guo Xiaxia, you are pretty good, but you need to dress up properly!"

"What do you mean?" Xia Xia was completely confused.

Tian Ning pointed to her clothes: "Look at the clothes you are wearing, how is it different from that of a high school student? Don't blame me for being vicious, your taste is so rotten!"

Xia Xia was angry: "The company manual doesn't stipulate what kind of clothes to wear! Why can't I wear them? You have to have a dress code for your employees, so you pay me to buy them!"

Tian Ning didn't get angry when she talked back. He raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and motioned for her to go out first.Seeing this, Xia Xia became anxious instead, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

After lunch, Xia Xia was immersed in writing a copy, when Tian Ning knocked on her desk with the car keys: "Follow me!"

Xia Xia was surprised: "Now? Why go?"

Tian Ning ignored it, and left in a hurry, Xia Xia had to put down her work and follow quickly.

After getting into the car, Xia Xia asked several times, before Tian Ning replied, "I'll go buy you some clothes!"

"Ah?!" Xia Xia was speechless, lowered her head and looked at her dress repeatedly, "I, my taste is really so bad that you can't tolerate it?"

Tian Ning was rarely amused by her: "Actually, it's okay, you don't have to be too inferior. But I have a party this Sunday, and I plan to take you there!"

This was the first time in the world, Xia Xia couldn't help being surprised: "What kind of party is it? Is it suitable for me to go?"

"The other party is an important customer of our company, do you think it is suitable?"

"Oh, which client is it?"

"Why do you ask so clearly?" Tian Ning glanced at her, "Are you going to report to Ye Yinfeng later?"

It didn't count that Xia Xia touched her nose, but was so annoyed by what he said later, she simply turned her head and ignored him.

Tian Ning suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you have your driver's license yet? I remember that you asked for leave to take the road test a while ago, so you didn't pass it?"

"It's over!" Xia Xia replied angrily, took out her driver's license from her bag, and shook it twice in front of Tian Ning's eyes, "See! I'm not as stupid as you said!"

Tian Ning smiled, suddenly slowed down and pulled over, Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Okay, you drive." He opened the car door and went down.

Xia Xia was stunned for two seconds, and the arrogance just disappeared suddenly: "But I'm not proficient yet!"

"How can you get proficient without driving too much, get out of the car!"

As a last resort, Xia Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in the driver's seat, fasten the seat belt, turned her head pitifully and added: "I can't drive fast, you, don't force me!"

Facts have proved that she still knows Tian Ning quite well. He is definitely the kind of person who does not open the pot and lifts the pot. The last sentence is like adding fuel to the fire.

Amid Tian Ning's cold urging, Xia Xia gritted her teeth and slammed on the accelerator again and again, overtaking one car after another. When Tian Ning told her to pull over and stop, she felt that all her spirits were gone.

"You are more cruel than our coach!" Xia Xia reprimanded with a mournful face.

Tian Ning glanced at her contemptuously: "Guo Xiaxia, driving is a kind of enjoyment. Driving trembling like you is not only suffering, but also very unsafe."

"I'm timid, what can I do?"

"You drive home every night from now on."

"I don't have a car."

"I'll lend you this one."

Xia Xia was immediately impressed by his generosity: "Then what are you driving?"

"It's still this one!" Tian Ning skillfully started the car, "I'll go home with you first, and then I'll drive back."

Xia Xia looked at him, wanted to refute a few words, but finally held back, and only whispered in her heart: "It's so troublesome!"

The clothes Tian Ning likes are very beautiful, but the price of several thousand yuan is too much for Xia Xia's little heart. She is too embarrassed to cry poor in front of Tian Ning, so she tries to find out.

"This color is too old-fashioned!"

"What do you know? This is maturity!" Tian Ning couldn't help but pull a set of clothes off the hanger and stuff them into Xia Xia's arms, "Go and try!"

After all, Xia Xia was a young girl, and she didn't have enough immunity to beautiful clothes, so she went into the fitting room halfway and halfway.

The effect was quite good. It not only trimmed Xia Xia's figure to make her stand out, but also added a bit of unprecedented charm to her.She stood in front of the mirror and could not move for a long time.

From the mirror, it could be seen that Tian Ning was also very satisfied and was already ordering the invoice, Xia Xia hesitated for a moment, turned around and pulled Tian Ning aside and asked in a low voice, "Will the company reimburse you for the clothes? "

"Show me your head!"

Xia Xia was taken aback: "Then I still don't want it."

"You don't need to pay, I'll pay the bill!" Tian Ning held the shopping list in his hand and prepared to swipe his card.

"Ah? How can this work!" Xia Xia was in a hurry, and snatched the bill with her hand, "I'll pay for it myself."

"What's the matter, isn't it only 3000 yuan!" Tian Ning was probably used to paying bills, without even frowning.

"I can't ask you to pay anyway." Xia Xia mumbled, then turned and went back to the fitting room.

After Xiaxia paid the bill and walked out of the commercial building with Tian Ning in pain, Tian Ning shook his head at her: "Guo Xiaxia, can you be a little more stupid, a bit more donkey? Do you know that every time I sign All the bills are commissioned? Compared with the commission, what is the money for this little clothes!"

"Oh! Then when you sign the client we're going to meet on Sunday, can I share a little commission with you?"

"You..." Tian Ning almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of blood, "So the reason why you made such a distinction between me and me is to ask for a commission?! You are really good, Guo Xiaxia!"

"I'm kidding you! I'm making you anxious!"

When he got to Tian Ning's car, he motioned for Xia Xia to put the bag of clothes on the back seat, but Xia Xia refused, and sat on the passenger seat holding the two bags, with a pious and respectful expression.

"This is the most expensive dress I've ever bought." Mentioning this, Xia Xia's heart still hurts. Fortunately, she paid by credit card. If she counted cash and went out, she would be so distressed that she would cry on the spot .

Tian Ning looked up at the sky speechlessly: "You can't be old Grandet's daughter, are you?"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Xia Xia spoke convincingly.

Tian Ning started the car and shook his head again: "I really hit a treasure."

"That has nothing to do with you." Xia Xia repeated in her heart.

Spending money is like pouring water, there is no way to regret it, so just look away.

Xia Xia comforted herself for the whole night, and finally felt comfortable. She hummed a little song and put on all the clothes on her body. She looked at herself back and forth in front of the full-length mirror. send.

She imagined herself with long hair and shawls, and then realized that she was involuntarily comparing herself with Wen Xuan, and immediately there was a little bit of unconfidence in her eyes, which made her very uncomfortable, she pouted her mouth hard, and put aside the weird thoughts.

"I am who I am, and I am Guo Xiaxia. I am not the best, but I am always trying to be better." She murmured words to motivate herself, and raised her clenched fists at herself in the mirror, looking like she was insane MLM staff, she exhaled a little discouraged.

After frowning for a while, she suddenly smiled at herself in the mirror. That unreserved and bright smile is her unique signature. Although it does not have the bright, glamorous and breathtaking beauty, it is enough to make her world spring with flowers. open.

Is this not enough?
Good weather on Sunday, sunny and sunny.

Tian Ning took Xia Xia to a fitness club in the outer suburbs to play golf. The "important client" he talked about was a short, fat, slightly bald middle-aged man named Liu. Clear identity.Tian Ning, on the other hand, introduced Xia Xia to Mr. Liu solemnly: "This is my assistant Guo Xiaxia."

Mr. Liu's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Xia Xia, and his smile was obviously several times larger.

"After all, it's Xiaotian, you have a good eye, and you can find all the beauties from your assistant." Mr. Liu approached her and asked kindly, "Has Miss Guo played golf before?"

Xia Xia shook her head honestly.

"It's okay. Golf sounds unattainable, but it's actually not difficult to learn. Come on, I'll teach you. I'm sure you'll master it once you teach."

He held Xia Xia's hand, leaned very close to her, and taught Xia Xia in an orderly manner.But Xia Xia was not used to having such an intimate behavior with strange men, her face flushed slightly, and when she was distracted, the cue was swung up, the ball didn't roll far, and even flew a piece of turf.

"How stupid!" Tian Ning commented with a smile behind him, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and it sounded a bit strange.

Xia Xia turned her head and glanced at the boss in embarrassment, and saw that there was no smile in his eyes. That expression perfectly interpreted the essence of "smiling on the surface but not smiling on the flesh".

"It's okay! It's okay!" President Liu comforted her with a smile, "Even beginners will inevitably make a fool of themselves, so just pay the tuition."

Under Mr. Liu's careful guidance, Xia Xia quickly got the feeling that she was able to swing the club decently, and was having a good time. Tian Ning answered the phone and immediately walked towards her with a sorry expression on her face. President Liu.

"I'm sorry Mr. Liu, the company just called, and Xia Xia has an urgent matter to go back immediately. Look, why don't we come here in the morning and play after dinner?"

Although Mr. Liu felt regretful, he still nodded with a smile: "Yes, anyway, the future is long. Oda, I will often take Ms. Guo out to play in the future. I like this kind of pretty and smart little girl the most."

"Definitely!" Tian Ning promised, then grabbed Xia Xia's arm and hurried out of the clubhouse.

Xia Xia was confused: "Who is looking for me?"

"No one is looking for you. You can go home now." Tian Ning ordered coldly with a sullen face.

"Why?" Xia Xia stared at his sullen face in surprise.

Tian Ning pulled her to the side of the road outside the clubhouse before bursting out: "Guo Xiaxia, are you stupid? You can't even tell that a man is thinking of you?!"

Xia Xia was taken aback by his sudden reaction, thought for a while, and there was indeed something wrong just now, Mr. Liu's attitude towards her was really enthusiastic, and with those eyes, he glanced at her from time to time.

The more I thought about it, the more embarrassing I felt, Xia Xia suddenly became angry: "What are you yelling at me! Didn't you ask me to accompany the client! I didn't do anything, just listen to your orders obediently! You are saying this again now Is it my fault? Oh! You are the only good person in the world, and you have the final say on all the rules!"

Tian Ning was silenced by her, but there was a depression in his chest that had no place to vent. He kicked a few times towards the curb, and finally the pedal was empty, and he leaned over, almost falling into the flower bed.

Xia Xia was laughed out of anger, but she hurriedly stopped the smile as soon as it spread on her face. She still put on a righteous expression and didn't want to talk to him anymore. She raised her hand to stop a passing taxi and opened the door to get in. .

When Tian Ning turned around in embarrassment, the car had already gone away.

"Fuck!" He cursed unashamedly at the car going away, a little resentful.

The two met in the company the next day. Xia Xia had already dissipated and greeted Tian Ning proactively. Before he could respond, she asked earnestly, "Everything went well yesterday, right?"

Since the salary increase, Xia Xia has repeatedly reminded herself to have a better attitude towards the boss and be more dedicated to the job.

Tian Ning was looking at her with his nostrils: "Are you really treating yourself as a dish?" After saying that, he walked away arrogantly, so angry that Xia Xia raised his middle finger at his back.

In the next few days, Tian Ning never came to the company, and occasionally called Xia Xia to explain something in a hurry.Xia Xia knew that he must be having a hot fight with that Mr. Liu.

Although Tian Ning's attitude made her feel irritated, but Xia Xia calmed down and thought about it, and there was a trace of warmth. Under his rough appearance, after all, there was still a heart that cared for the staff—at least she didn't have to face it anymore. The perverted Mr. Liu is gone.

While relaxing, a trace of regret inevitably flashed across her heart. She originally hoped to go out with Tian Ning to see more, and in the future she would have the opportunity to switch to making big money in sales. Now it seems that this possibility is almost gone, not only because of Tian Ning If she didn't cooperate, Xia Xia herself felt that she was not suitable for such a complicated scene of socializing.

The new rented house in Suan Sui Nian was finally settled before the Spring Festival.Sunday Xiaochun brought a pair of blue and white porcelain vases to congratulate Xiaxia on her housewarming.

Xia Xia proudly prepared a table of meals in the newly rented single room. Seeing Xiaochun coming to the door alone, she enthusiastically invited her in and shouted: "Why don't you call Jiang Youtian over together?"

"You don't know how to invite yourself?" Xiaochun glared at her, his anger still lingering.

Xia Xia was embarrassed, turned her eyes to the vase in her hand, and quickly changed the subject: "Your posture is really like the Guanyin empress holding a clean bottle, who came down to the mortal world to catch demons!"

"That's right, I caught you, you little monster—you said you didn't need to buy anything, but I found this pair of treasures after digging through boxes and cabinets. They were my mother's birthday present from someone else, and I kept them unused. I remembered that you like flowers and plants, so I took them." I'm here to see you off."

Xiaochun put the vase on the dining table by the window, looked around: "This place is nice, it's more than enough for you to live alone!"

Xia Xia opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for Xiaochun: "Let's have dinner now, it's cold, we have to eat while it's hot!"

In the small hall, the window is closed to eat hot pot, and the heat rises to the glass, forming a layer of hazy mist, which makes people feel warm in their hearts.

Xia Xia told Xiaochun about a series of plots full of dramatic tension that happened after she went to Qunxin, Xiaochun almost couldn't help laughing.

"But it doesn't sound like your current boss is too bad. His attitude is a little bit worse, but he is quite sympathetic to you anyway."

"What are you sympathetic to?" Xia Xia snorted, "He is an arrogant and domineering villain, and he is so flamboyant that he sends me shopping for this woman and that woman all day long. Forget it, let's not talk about the boss If you speak ill, you will be punished."

"Why do I hear you sound like you're jealous?"

"Fuck off!"

Xiaochun said happily: "Xia Xia, have you noticed that after you went to Qunxin, it's completely different from Ye Yinfeng's place?"

Xia Xia was confused: "What's the difference?"

"When you were in Maixin, you always hoped to show Ye Yinfeng the best side of yourself, and you were too embarrassed to say bad words, but you made yourself very tired and didn't know it. Look at you now, relaxed and at ease , My tongue doesn’t tie up when I scold the boss.”

"Really?" Xia Xia thought for a while, then smiled wryly at herself, "Are you trying to say that I'm starting to degenerate?"

"How is it possible! What I mean is that you are now a normal person!" Xiaochun raised her eyebrows and continued, "Have you ever thought that no matter whether there is another Qiu Wenxuan between you and Ye Yinfeng, you The two are basically impossible?"

Xia Xia felt awkward, but couldn't help retorting: "Why? Is my charm so bad!"

"It's not about charm, it's about your mentality." Xiaochun narrowed her eyes skillfully, "Whenever a person is too humble in front of another person, it means that she has exaggerated the other person and belittled herself. People are not placed in an equal position at all. Ask yourself, have you always worshiped Ye Yinfeng as a god?"

Xia Xia remained silent.

"But in fact, he is also a mortal who needs to eat and drink. When you two are really going to be together, your evaluation of him can only go down and cannot go up. You just wait for disillusionment."

Xia Xia thought about it carefully, and it seemed quite reasonable, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey! Are you studying articles written by emotional experts recently? You speak in a different way."

"Tch!" Xiaochun rolled her eyes at her, "I'll tell you a secret, I'm actually talented in emotional research, and I don't need any bullshit experts to feed me chicken soup for the soul!"

"Go ahead!"

Have lunch until sunset.

As soon as the sun set and the temperature dropped sharply, Xiaochun wanted to leave. Xia Xia begged her to stay for dinner. Xiaochun waved her hands while hiccupping: "I still have to eat! I can save tomorrow's breakfast. I have to go back early. It's freezing cold on the road."

Xia Xia had no choice but to send her out.

The house she rented was in an old new village, across the street from the old new village was a high-end community, along the street were small high-rise buildings, surrounded by bungalows and villas.

The two drank a little too much wine, and their steps were a little shaky, Xiaochun pointed to the beautiful Victorian buildings in the high-end community: "See, if you can live in such a house one day, your life will be considered perfect, and you will be considered successful! "

Xia Xia took Xiaochun's arm, squinted her eyes for a while, and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, one day I have to buy a whole floor, and then connect the left and right to make a super-large The living room is super big. Xiaochun," she turned to look at her girlfriend with a smile, "I invite you to come and live there!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

A middle-aged man with a wretched face just passed by, turned his head and gave them a white look: "Dream! The minimum house over there is 300 million, can you afford it?"

When the two were stunned, the other party had already walked away.

Xiaochun woke up first, and shouted angrily at the man's back: "Whether we can afford it or not is none of your business!"

"That's right, I really look down on people!" Xia Xia also angrily agreed, but her arrogance was still blown away by the 300 million blow.

"Actually, what's so great about living in a mansion! There are several floors up and down, empty, it's scary to live in, and it's inconvenient to clean. It's not as comfortable as my small house!"

"Don't say that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. If you can't afford them, you can't afford them..." Xiaochun suddenly stopped, staring at a car at the gate of the community.

A long-haired woman was getting out of the car, holding a four or five-year-old girl by the hand.After the woman bowed her head and said something to the driver, she picked up the little girl and turned around and walked into the gate of the community.

Xiaochun tugged at Xiaxia's sleeve: "Hey, who do you think that is?"

Xia Xia looked intently, her heart was pounding immediately, her hands and feet were a little limp, those two figures were so familiar that it was impossible to ignore them, they were Wen Xuan and Xiao Dong.

Her first reaction was to run away, but Xiaochun saw it and grabbed her: "Why are you panicking!"

"I, I have to return the house, but, but the contract has been signed. If I don't live for half a year, I will definitely not get my security deposit back. What, what should I do?" Xia Xia was incoherent in a hurry.

"Why do you want to check out?" Xiaochun rolled his eyes, "You didn't do anything wrong to her, why are you afraid of her!"

"But, but I don't want to see her..." Xia Xia's voice became lower and lower, and she suddenly fell into unavoidable depression. It turned out that after so long, she still couldn't get out of that embarrassing state of mind.

Xiaochun couldn't see her pitiful expression, sighed, and swallowed all the words of reproach: "Maybe she just came here to see her friends. Even if she really lived here, it might not be so easy for you to meet her. Even if you do meet Now, you don't need to be nervous, the past is over, you are so useless if you keep hiding from others."

Under Xiaochun's persuasion, Xia Xia slowly let go of her arm.

Wenxuan led her daughter into the house, first put Xiaodong in the living room to draw, and went to the kitchen with fruits and vegetables to prepare dinner.

The house was just bought half a month ago. It is a well-decorated room with all supporting facilities. She just moved in last week.When paying the money, Ye Yinfeng offered to let him do it, but Wen Xuan refused.Now she is not short of money, what she lacks is the feeling of real home.

For so many years, she has taken her daughter to wander around, nothing more than to find a home that can accommodate the two of them.It doesn't need to be too gorgeous, as long as it allows them to live their lives in peace and stability.

The current result does not look bad, but she is not sure how long it will last. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. She admits that what she lacks most is always a sense of security.

While Wen Xuan was washing the dishes, she let her thoughts wander in an unlimited space, which would not affect the quality of her cooking at all.

During the busy break, she can still go out of the kitchen to see her daughter, Xiaodong is lying on the table and seriously coloring a painting.

After the kindergarten's winter vacation, Wenxuan took her daughter to the store every day. Although Xiaodong was very well-behaved, she was still a child after all, so she went there frequently and inevitably felt bored.

Wenxuan heard by chance that there was a preschool training center nearby that taught dancing, drawing, drawing, musical instruments, and everything, so she took Xiaodong to have a look around.She hopes that Xiaodong can continue to dance ballet, but her daughter refuses, and instead shows a strong interest in painting.Wen Xuan never pushes her children too hard, so she enrolls her in a painting class.

Once when she went to pick up Xiaodong, the art teacher said to her: "Don't look at your daughter who is silent. She is actually very creative and talented in painting. Especially in terms of composition and color, she is bold beyond imagination. .”

Wen Xuan was a little surprised, never expecting her daughter to have artistic talent.

At this time, she was looking at a painting that Xiaodong was creating: a white bird with its head held high, fluttering its wings in a sad and indignant posture in the red sky.

She couldn't understand, so she asked her daughter, "Why is the sky red?"

"The sky is red."

"But isn't the sky we usually see blue?"

"It's going to rain red soon," Xiaodong explained patiently to her mother while burying her head in coloring the sky, "That's why the sky is red."

Wen Xuan was stunned for a while, her daughter was obviously immersed in her own world, and that world, sometimes even her mother was shut out.

She smiled helplessly, patted her daughter's head, and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.

Ye Yinfeng didn't come to the door until it was close to eight o'clock, and when he heard that the two of them hadn't had dinner yet and had been waiting for him, he immediately felt guilty: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait for me, every time you have a meeting, you forget the time. "

"Anyway, we don't feel hungry after eating dim sum." Wen Xuan brought out the meals one by one, "You must be very hungry, right?"

"It's okay, my brain is tense during the meeting and discussion, and I don't feel hungry."

"What have you been up to lately?"

"I want to sign Shunying's contract." Ye Yinfeng took off his coat and went to help her, "It's the one that Feng Yuanzhe introduced earlier. After getting in contact with it before, Old Cui felt that it was not very reliable. Who knows that they are really serious, and they are quite generous. .”

"Is Maixin's hope great?"

"We entered a bit late, but I think we should try our best." He said, looking at Wen Xuan apologetically, "So we promised to go on a trip during the New Year's holiday, so I'm afraid we won't be able to go."

Wen Xuan smiled tolerantly: "It's okay, you can play anytime you want. If you lose a business opportunity, you can never get it back."

She turned back to the kitchen to get a spoon, Ye Yinfeng followed, hugged her by the partition wall, and whispered in her ear: "You are so kind, you always think of others."

He had something to say - not just about travel - Wen Xuan understood right away.

At the beginning, she chose this real estate because it was close to Ye Yinfeng's house: "From now on, it will only take five or six minutes for you to drive back, so your mother and I don't need to worry about it."

At this time, Wen Xuan pushed him away with a smile: "Don't get bored, let's eat quickly."

Ye Yinfeng looked at her slender back and asked, "How about going to see my parents this weekend?"

He mentioned this issue to her several times, and every time she said to wait, the main reason was that his mother would not agree, and Ye Yinfeng was a filial son, so it was inevitable that he would be in a dilemma.

The answer he got this time is still no exception: "It will take a while, I just moved here, and I haven't adapted yet!"

As before, Ye Yinfeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief while feeling lost.

Xia Xia has recently become Tian Ning's full-time driver, as long as there are activities in Sanjiang City, he will let Xia Xia drive to pick them up.If Xia Xia protested, he would definitely press his mouth hard and say in a gloating tone: "I don't want to? I don't want me to change it back for you. You think 5000 yuan is so easy to earn!"

For the "high salary" of 5000 yuan, Xia Xia could only endure the humiliation.

In fact, Xia Xia's driving skills are quite stable now, but the problem is that she can't stand Tian Ning's bluffing instructions.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! What are you doing behind it! Overtake it!"

"Turn right, I tell you to turn right! Hurry up! Take that road for the shortest time—oh, you really want to kill me, are you blind, Guo Xiaxia!"

Xia Xia learned to be good later on, no matter how Tian Ning yelled, she would do her own way, if she followed his baton, she would be fainted by him.Anyway, she was driving, and Tian Ning couldn't come up and take the steering wheel.

But he would still get angry: "Did you crash, can't input? Did you hear what I said?"

Xia Xia held the steering wheel steadily, and answered with a smile: "Not satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you can drive. Do you want me to pull over?"

"Guo Xiaxia! It seems that I have led you to ruin!"

"You just know!"

Every time Xia Xia drives the boss, there will inevitably be a confrontation, but she no longer complains like she used to-it's just a matter of exercising her eloquence, and it's quite effective!

It was lunch time when she received a call from Tian Ning, and Xia Xia had just brought the rice plate in her hand. She discussed with Tian Ning, "Boss, why don't you find a place to eat first, and I'll pick you up right away."

Tian Ning was furious: "Where do you want me to eat in the wilderness! Come quickly!"

Xia Xia gritted her teeth, handed over the lunch to Wang Jing, and went to pick up Tian Ning with a full stomach.

"For 5000 yuan!" This sentence has almost become Xia Xia's motto now, firmly engraved in her mind, and used to withstand all kinds of liver and gallbladder internal injuries. Her only hope is that the motto will not become her epitaph one day Ming.

But after seeing Tian Ning, Xia Xia became less angry.

It's no wonder that Tian Ning is so popular. The client he visited is located in a small town with no shit, and the surrounding area is deserted for twenty miles. There is no place to rest, let alone eat.

Xia Xia's anger has turned into sympathy: "Why doesn't the client treat you to a light meal?"

"The negotiation was not ideal. The general manager is just like their purchasing manager. He is a strange bird, and he speaks in a strange way. I have to tell Mingyang later. If he can negotiate with this company in the future, I will never criticize him. Give them a discount."

Xia Xiaxin said, you are too emotional, originally you had nothing to do, you were the one who insisted on visiting people, and now you are the one who is dissatisfied.Sure enough, the eldest son is difficult to serve.

After entering the urban area, Tian Ning's mood brightened. He told Xia Xia to drive to his favorite Sichuan restaurant: "Eat something spicy to warm your body. The air conditioner in the reception room of that small broken company is reluctant to turn on. Look how cold I was!" Tian Ning sniffled vigorously.

When Xia Xia was parking the car, Tian Ning received a call, and she instinctively didn't feel like a customer.

"...Well, outside, entertaining clients, what else can I do?" Tian Ning said, his voice suddenly became louder, "Why do you want money again? Didn't you just give you [-] at the beginning of the month, and it's not yet the end of the month? Just... Qingqing, I think you should find something to do, don't hang out with your cronies all day long, you won't do anything but lose money... I don't care about money... Forget it Forget it, let's meet up if we have something to say... tonight, I may not be free tonight, you let me see the arrangement, and I'll call you back later, that's it!"

As soon as the thread was cut, Tian Ning let out a heavy breath, and muttered in a low voice: "Fuck! You really used me as a cash machine."

"Who is it?" Xia Xia asked casually.

"Who else is there, girlfriend!"

"Which girlfriend?"

Tian Ning gave her a squinting look: "Of course it's the one who is upright, my master!" After speaking, he came up angrily again, "I thought I was so easy to make money!"

After entering the restaurant, the two chose a seat by the window in the lobby, and the waiter immediately served tea. Xia Xia was flipping through the menu, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in his ears, as if with a burst of anger. Thinking about it, Tian Ning on the opposite side has already jumped up screaming.

Xia Xia raised her eyes, only to see that Tian Ning's face and chest were wet, and he furiously shouted at the girl standing in front of him, "You are fucking sick!"

The girl was dressed in a fashionable and elegant dress, but her speech and behavior were not ladylike at all. She threw the empty glass on the table heavily, pointed at Tian Ning's nose without fear, and denounced: "You are the only one who is fucking sick! 2 minutes ago He still told me on the phone that he was entertaining a client, but who knew he brought a woman out to fool around again! My surname is Tian, ​​I know you don’t like me a long time ago, so it’s okay! It’s not like no one wants me, so I’ll tell you today Clearly, from now on, you will take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge! The two of us will be separated!"

After finishing speaking, the girl turned and walked away with her hips crossed.

The girl spoke like firing a machine gun. When she opened her mouth, Tian Ning couldn't get in her mouth at all. She could only stare blankly. Now he watched the other party go away aggressively. Wipe the water stains on the face.Everyone in the hall focused their eyes on this side with great interest.

Xia Xia originally had an attitude that it had nothing to do with her, but Tian Ning's current situation was really embarrassing. She put down the menu and handed over the wet towel: "Boss, wipe it off."

Tian Ning took the towel and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, then threw it on the table, turned his head and went to the bathroom.When he returned to his seat, Xia Xia felt that his face became more and more gloomy.

"What now?" she asked cautiously.

"What should I do? Order food! Eat!" Tian Ning took out the cigarette case with a frown, and took out a cigarette. Just as she was about to light it, a waitress quietly swam over and said timidly, "Sir, smoking is not allowed here. "

Xia Xia's heart tightened, expecting that Tian Ning was going to have a fit, but he walked out without saying a word, smoking a cigarette in his mouth. Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Xia Xia: "Order some more spicy ones!"

After smoking a cigarette quickly, Tian Ning returned to his seat again, this time his face softened a lot, Xia Xia thought to himself, nicotine really has a soothing effect on the nerves, no wonder so many men refuse to quit smoking.

She graciously told Tian Ning the names of the dishes she ordered. He nodded slightly, but apparently he was not listening. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands, as if he was a little tired. It was rare for Xia Xia to see such a dejected expression on his face. A trace of compassion.

"That girl, is that your serious girlfriend?"

The word "serious" made Tian Ning feel harsh, but he just let out a "huh" in his nose, and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about some big problem.

"Then why don't you tell her that it was a misunderstanding just now?"

Tian Ning was a little impatient: "Did you see that she gave me a chance to speak?"

Xia Xia also thought about it: "Then you call her now!"

"No need." Tian Ning had a look of thought on his face. He was already thinking about how to bring up the breakup.

"Eat mine, use mine, and even pour water on me!" He snorted coldly, "My mother didn't want to see her, she thought she was lazy, always so idle, how many times did she tell her, she didn't listen at all."

Xia Xia curled her lips secretly: "What age is it, and the words of the matchmaker are still ordered by the parents!"

Tian Ning stared at her: "In any age, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be taken into account!"

Xia Xia wanted to refute a few more words, but then she thought about it, she had nothing to do with her, so why bother with that idleness?

She put away her eloquent heart and concentrated on eating the dishes.

Two days later, Xia Xia got off work and was blocked by a girl as soon as she walked out of the building. She took a closer look and found that it was the water-splashing girl, so she hurriedly took three steps back and quickly checked whether the other party had a murder weapon: " You, what are you doing?"

The girl is dressed plainly today, with nothing else on her hand except a handbag, and she has a friendly smile: "Are you Guo Xiaxia?"

Xia Xia became more vigilant: "Are you okay?"

The girl looked a little awkward: "I want to talk to you, can we find a place to sit for a while?"

"Can't we just talk here?" Xia Xia refused to move.

"It's so cold outside." The girl looked at her and smiled again, "You're not afraid of me, are you?"

Xia Xia was embarrassed, raised her chin, and said righteously: "No, why should I be afraid of you!"

They found a coffee shop nearby.

The girl introduced herself as Han Qing.

"I misunderstood you last time, I'm really sorry." Han Qing is also a straightforward person, and immediately admitted her mistake.

Xia Xia also responded generously: "It's nothing, anyway, it wasn't me you splashed on."

The two sat facing each other, and Xia Xia finally had a chance to take a closer look at each other.After sizing her up like this, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, this girl is indeed a wonderful person with bright eyes and bright teeth, no wonder Tian Ning is reluctant to break up with others.

"Tian Ning, that guy, likes to run the train with his mouth full, and he's a sister to everyone, and he's in sales, so I'm always worried about him. But I never caught him. He was really angry that day Only after that..." Han Qing explained, "And I had a few little sisters there that day, so I can't let them look down upon me."

Xia Xia listened and nodded frequently to express her understanding. Han Qing's misunderstanding of her has been resolved, and her personal safety has been guaranteed. She is relieved and appreciates Han Qing's outspoken personality. .

Han Qing sighed abruptly: "Maybe I was too harsh that day, Tian Ning him, he still refuses to talk to me."

Xia Xia recalled what Tian Ning said that day, and immediately felt sympathy for Han Qing, but it was inconvenient for her to say anything, so as not to be complained by Tian Ning for being talkative.

"Miss Guo!" Han Qing suddenly looked at Xia Xia earnestly, "I want you to help me!"

"Me?" Xia Xia was tongue-tied, "What can I help you with? Mr. Tian, ​​he won't listen to me at all."

She picked out a few of Tian Ning's usual bad deeds and told Han Qing, and Han Qing met a bosom friend: "Oh, let me tell you, he also treats me like this! They are all Pisces men like this, the more they treat you in their hearts Well, the surface is more fierce to you!"

Xia Xiaxin said, what is the difference between that and a neuropathy?
"I think you still need to communicate with Boss Tian about this matter." Xia Xia gave her advice, "You have to understand it with reason and move it with emotion."

Han Qing shook her head in distress: "I can't even see others now, how can I communicate!"

"You haven't been to his house?"

"Fuck sees me like seeing an enemy."

"Why does his mother, cough, not like you?"

"I think I don't have a job." It turned out that Han Qing understood.

"Then why don't you find something to do?" Xia Xia became curious.

Han Qing glanced at her: "When I first met Tian Ning, I also had a job, working as a kindergarten teacher."

When Xia Xia heard this, she immediately became envious: "What a great job, dealing with children every day."

"What the hell! Children are annoying, disobedient and can't be beat up. All the parents are amazing now! I complained to Tian Ning a few times, and he said that if you really don't want to do it, just resign. In the future, I will support you."

Xia Xia smacked her lips: "How can you listen to what a man says! In my opinion, no matter what stage a woman reaches, she must have a job. It is the most reliable to support herself!"

Han Qing burst into laughter: "Miss Guo, you don't have a boyfriend yet, do you?"

"no, what happened?"

"We have an old saying here that it is better to marry well than to do well. What is the purpose of marrying well? Isn't it so that you can live comfortably and comfortably?"

Xia Xia was speechless for a while.

"Actually, I don't want you to help me say something nice to Tian Ning. Isn't he refusing to see me now? Whenever he goes on a business trip, you can just tell me his specific whereabouts."

"This one……"

Han Qing grabbed Xia Xia's hand, with an expression like a pitiful cat: "Please, Miss Guo!"

"This... You, let me think about it, okay?"

"Thank you, Ms. Guo! I believe you will not let me down." Han Qing accepted it as soon as she saw it, and exchanged contact information with Xia Xia attentively before saying goodbye.

In the evening, Xia Xiashuo gnawed her nails under the quilt and struggled for a long time whether to help Han Qing, and finally was persuaded by an old saying: "It is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage."

Since it is a matter of virtue, I will help her reluctantly.
