Chapter 8
At that time, I didn't know that the story was far from over, because An Xin stopped narrating when talking about Mao Jie's departure.She was silent for a long time, depressed, so I had to change the subject and try to cheer her up again.
"Would you like some coffee? I'll make it," I said.
"I'll do it." An Xin stood up for me and went to the kitchen.As if to escape from this dimly lit living room full of too sentimental memories.An Xin has lived with me for nearly half a month, boils water and cooks for me every day, and seems to be more familiar with how to make coffee than I am.
I went into the kitchen and helped her wash the coffee pot and coffee cups. Neither of us spoke, only the sound of water splashing and the slight resistance of the electric coffee stove.Anxin made coffee, took a cup I was washing in my hand, and said, "Let me wash it, someone knocked on the door." I put down the cup and looked at the watch. It was already past ten o'clock, who would come? ?I walked out of the kitchen, across the living room, and opened the door.The lights in the corridor were dark, but I saw a person standing in front of the door, and I asked: Who is it?The people outside the door stepped in without waiting for my permission almost at the same time as I asked the question.
"Me!" My head was swollen like I saw a ghost, my lips were numb, my legs were stiff, and I was sweating all of a sudden.
"...Zhong Ning?" That's right, it was indeed Zhong Ning!
Zhong Ning smiled triumphantly, and raised my ear as soon as he came up, "I've been knocking on the door for a long time, why did I just hear it! Didn't expect it to be me! I guess you won't think!" I blocked the door stiffly, almost forgetting Make way, "Didn't you...didn't you go to Inner Mongolia? The plane was delayed?" I almost doubted whether this Zhong Ning was real. I sent her to the airport two hours ago, and I clearly saw her and her The sisters and husband walked into the ticket gate talking and laughing.The real Zhong Ning should be still in the sky at this time, or just landed at the airport outside Hohhot.
Zhong Ning said solemnly: "Didn't you tell me to come back earlier? Didn't I listen to you and come back earlier!" Seeing that I was still in a daze, she burst into a smile and said, "I didn't get on the plane at all. I was at the airport. I called our customer in Inner Mongolia and asked him to accompany me. I told the people at the airport that I couldn’t leave because of an emergency, and the people from the airline would have to take me to the plane! At most, I wouldn’t get a refund Oh, what's the matter, I just gave up my plane ticket and sacrificed my strongest and strongest son just to come back to accompany you, why don't you seem to be happy!" Zhong Ning looked at the shock on my face In a daze, I threw my handbag on the sofa triumphantly, wrapped my arms around my neck, and hung my whole body in the air.She smiled and ordered: "Hold me in!" She hung on me heavily, I was unprepared and almost let her hang down, so I quickly and subconsciously caught her legs and hugged her up .Then, the unavoidable situation finally happened, and An Xin walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.The two women seemed to be destined to meet in this small living room, their eyes were facing each other, and they were so close, I wish I could get in through a crack in the ground beside me.
Zhong Ning seemed to have forgotten that she was still hanging on my body with her feet off the ground at this moment, and stared straight at An Xin aggressively, although her voice was not loud, it was in a provocative tone: "Yo, who is this?" Yes?" An Xin held the coffee pot in one hand and the cup in the other, and stood at the door of the kitchen in a daze.Of course she saw the relationship between Zhong Ning and me - Zhong Ning put his arms around my neck and asked me to hug me like this, what else could it be!Zhong Ning must have figured out An Xin's role at this time - what else can a girl do if she stays here in the middle of the night!Zhong Ning turned her head around, and suddenly raised her voice and yelled into my ear, I could even see my bewildered face in her fierce eyes.
"Who is this, she is!" I let go of Zhong Ning and put Zhong Ning down, wanting to save the situation in my heart, but also desperately wanting to smash the pot, at this moment, I made a sound entirely based on a subconscious reaction : "She, she is my classmate, she came to Beijing and came to see me." I don't know whether this answer is quick wit or stupid.An Xin was the first to calm down and make a normal gesture. She put down the coffee in her hand and said to me calmly, "Ah, you have guests, so I'll be leaving first." Zhong Ning called her to stop: "Wait, don't Go! Are you his classmate?" Zhong Ning's voice was stern, her attitude towards An Xin set my heart on fire, I really wanted to rush up and beat her up like a gentleman, but I didn't move.I just suppressed the fire and shouted: "Zhong Ning!" Zhong Ning turned his head and glared at me, "What's the matter, I can't ask?" I also glared: "This is my guest, can you be more polite? We were all in a hurry, only An Xin remained calm, picked up her backpack without any expression, opened the door calmly, turned around to say goodbye to me, and went out, the door was slammed Take it lightly.
That "goodbye", I could hear it, it was very cold, so cold that it made you feel that there was some resentment.
An Xin left, leaving me and Zhong Ning alone, and my heart was not as tense as before.Now it's just the two of us, and I can lie as much as I want, invent explanations without scruple, and continue to carry out righteous indignation gestures to the end! ——He is my classmate. We haven’t seen each other for more than a year after graduating from university and went back to my hometown. He came to Beijing to see what’s going on with me!You should spread the word about your attitude towards me tomorrow and let our classmates know, so you shouldn't say it as a joke!Why are you hurting me by saving some face for me, huh?
Zhong Ning squinted at me, then looked around the room without saying a word, looking around, as if to find some evidence of adultery.In the end, she found nothing, not even any doubts. Finally, she finally said: "You guys, I know you want face. If you want face, don't do such shameless things. Let me tell you Yang Rui, I can tolerate you in everything. If you say you don’t want to get married for the time being, you can do as you please. But there is one thing, don’t always think that you are smart and no one will find out what you do. Paper can’t contain fire, there is nothing impenetrable Wall, if you want to be unknown, unless you do nothing, be careful and don’t let me catch it, if you catch it, don’t regret it!” I stopped talking, and Zhong Ning slept here at night.After the lights were turned off, she made a request, but I was not emotional and acted passively.Zhong Ning struggled for a long time but failed to mobilize my enthusiasm. She was a little annoyed, and pushed me vigorously and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong with me! Don't even think about it, I won't even get on the plane, I just ran Come back to look for you, you are fine, what are you doing hiding here in the middle of the night with a woman! I saw if I could not be in a hurry with you. In the end, you got angry. A while ago, I went to other places and went abroad again. Who knew you What did you do alone in Beijing!" Actually, I wasn't angry, I was just confused, and I just wanted to feel at ease.I think the image of me in her mind is completely ruined now, she must be heartbroken, just like how Mao Jie felt towards her back then.She just didn't slam the door as hard as Mao Jie when she left.
In the morning of the next day, Zhong Ning and I went to work together, attended the meeting of the project preparation office of the Guoning Taekwondo Hall, and listened to the designers of the design institute talk about the graphic design plan.Zhong Guoqing also came, and the plan was mainly to tell him.I sat on the side absent-mindedly, and stayed until the meeting ended at noon. Zhong Guoqing wanted to invite a few designers to have a meal, and said that some problems could be discussed while eating.Zhong Ning invited me to participate, I said that I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and wanted to find a place to stare for a while.Zhong Ning thought that I made her mess up last night, so she let me do whatever she wanted very loosely, and did not forget to say a few words of compassion when we parted.
As soon as I left the company, I hurriedly called An Xin on my mobile phone.No one answered the phone in the Communication Office of Jingshi Sports School. Finally, someone answered. I asked him to help find An Xin, but after waiting for a long time, he told me that An Xin was not there.I know she's there, but she doesn't answer my calls.I didn't bother to eat lunch, so I drove straight to the Beijing Normal University Sports School, and then went straight to the Taekwondo Hall after arriving at the sports school.Sure enough, Anxin is here, washing the mop in the water room.She knew I was standing behind and deliberately didn't look back.I said: "Are you angry?" She said: "No." I said: "I love you." She turned her head and wanted to leave the room with a mop with water in her hand. She said: "The person you love There are too many." I stopped her and yelled: "No! You should listen to my explanation!" My voice was a little rough, and I stood down with peace of mind and looked up at me, but I didn't know what to explain.
I didn't dare to look at her like this, so I looked away, lowered my voice, and said the same thing: "I love you." An Xin shook her head, and I saw that her calmness was intentionally shown to me.She said calmly: "You know Yang Rui, I just want to live in peace, I don't want to get involved in any right and wrong, I hope you can let me live quietly like before!" An Xin finally got a little excited, she tried her best to suppress it, her voice was already a little shrill.After she finished speaking, she took the mop and rushed out the door.I still wanted to pull her, but at this time someone came and asked An Xin to go to the practice hall to help carry things.An Xin followed that person.I stood in the water room without going out, listening to them walking away while talking outside the door.
That night, very late, I called her after I was sure that An Xin would return to the sports school after class.As usual, Uncle Zhang answered the call. When he heard my voice, he said in a rough voice, "Are you looking for An Xin? She's not here!" Before I could say a second word, the phone was hung up.I also dropped the phone and cursed fiercely: "Damn it!" I couldn't tell if I was cursing Uncle Zhang or An Xin.
I didn't look for peace of mind anymore.A few days later, I received a remittance slip from the post office. The remittance amount was 5000 yuan. The remittance address was a certain street, a certain lane in Nande, Yunnan, and the name was An Xin.I know, An Xin and I are over.
This is the first real love and the first real failure in my experience with girls. It's hard to explain the feeling for a while.In the first few days, what I felt most strongly was the kind of uselessness when my self-esteem was accidentally bruised, but in the next few days, it was the joy and warmth when I was with An Xin that frequently appeared in my mind.Every thing, every detail, I think of it, I can't think about it, I can't control it.After much deliberation, I still feel that among all the girls, peace of mind is the best.Maybe it's just like what Liu Minghao said, An Xin is from a small place, and she doesn't have the same taste as a girl from a big city.The innocence, hard work, hard work and non-snobbishness of girls in small places have a special sense of freshness for those of us who have hardly left Beijing, or to use Liu Minghao's words to describe me, that is: "Maybe you are just fine." This mouth." I tried hard to ask myself not to think about peace of mind, to devote myself to work wholeheartedly, and let work occupy my energy and space for thinking.In the company, I try my best to get along well with everyone, not show my "son-in-law" appearance, and respect Bian Xiaojun.Seeing Zhong Guoqing, he respectfully called him "Mr. Zhong" like everyone else.The relationship with Zhong Ning is also as normal as possible, neither humble nor overbearing, avoiding quarrels, serious when it should be serious, relaxed when it should be relaxed, not indifferent to her, and not too passionate.
At the press conference celebrating the topping out of the Guoning Building, I met my dad.I haven't seen him for a long time.He posted more blessings than before, and he presided over the press conference that day, and he couldn't hide the triumphant expression on his face.As soon as the press conference was over, he called me aside, took out a passbook and stuffed it in my hand, and said, "Here, buy a diamond ring for Zhong Ning, this is what the man must buy. That's what your dad did for you." I will give you a gift when you get married in the future, and I will give it in advance." I opened the passbook, and there was 1 yuan in the passbook.Whole.Although my dad's current salary is higher than in the past, 1 yuan is still not a small amount for him. I want to push it back: "Dad, what are you worrying about, we are early." My dad stared and scolded me : "Why are you so stupid, this is only given when you are in love, do you understand! Diamonds are forever, and one will be left forever. This represents the purity and eternity of love, and it was given at this time, etc. Once you’re really married, you won’t be as romantic. Once you’re married, you’ll live in pots and pans.” My dad can even catch the words in the advertisement, and it’s obvious that he’s working in a private company during this period. Thought personality and language style have some changes.My dad insulted me a few more words, turned around and left.I took the passbook of 1 yuan and stood there in a daze.
The next day I went to Guiyou Building and picked out a diamond ring with less fancy carvings.The price is auspicious: nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.I paid the money.The diamond ring was put into a small blue velvet box, tied with a ribbon on the outside, and then grandly packed in a delicate small bag, giving people a special temptation.The moment the salesperson handed over the small bag to me, An Xin's face suddenly flashed in my heart, and I imagined how it would feel if I bought it for her.
A few days later, one evening, Zhong Ning called me and told me to go to her house for dinner, and I took the diamond ring with me.Zhong Ning and her brother Zhong Guoqing live together. They live in a villa in Xiangjiang Garden. I have been to that place many times, and the guards are all familiar to me.Zhong Guoqing was there that day. Before eating, I took out the velvet box in front of Zhong Guoqing, gave it to Zhong Ning, and said, "I give you something." What are you giving me, we are both old and married.” When I opened it, it was a diamond ring. I was a little surprised, and asked happily, “Hey, what do you mean by giving me this?” I said, “It doesn’t mean anything, Just to give it to you." Zhong Ning smiled, approached me, and said, "You have to bring this thing to me yourself." I thought about it, it seems that there is such a rule, so I held up Zhong Ning's left hand, Put the diamond ring on her ring finger.She was very happy, and she tilted her face aggressively, which meant that I should kiss her.
I kissed her.She kissed me too.Her brother Zhong Guoqing said with a smile: "Ahem, cough, don't be so nasty in front of people, okay?" Zhong Ning had a very happy meal, not only had a good appetite, but also took the initiative to tell a lot of jokes, even some pornographic joke.Very yellow very yellow kind.Huang Delian couldn't bear to listen to Zhong Guoqing, and said: "Why are you so disgusting? It's okay for a man to say this, but you don't think it's shabby for a girl to say this." Zhong Ning said: "What's the matter? There are no outsiders at home, so let’s have fun.” Zhong Guoqing shook his head helplessly at me, and said, “Her carelessness has been exposed in front of you.” Zhong Ning curled his lips and said, “Ask Yang Rui, I Who has more problems with him.” I said, “What’s wrong with me?” Zhong Ning said, “What’s wrong, you don’t know what’s wrong!” I knew what she was referring to, so I had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and not to be serious.
After dinner, Zhong Ning went to the study to answer a call from one of her girlfriends.Chatting between girls is always going on and on.Zhong Guoqing lit a cigarette and chatted with me in the living room.
He asked me first: "What's the matter, when are you going to do it, you guys?" I didn't expect him to ask this at first, but then I thought about it, I came to give the ring today, and I brought this topic myself, so I asked Hastily replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, we are still too young, so don't worry about it. The two of us together are less than 45." Zhong Guoqing's attitude was quite serious, and he said: "Ningning and I, neither parents are here. Well, I'm Ning Ning's parent. I suggest you think about this matter as soon as possible. I'm not only for you two, but also for the company. If you and Ning Ning become husband and wife, many things in the company can be entrusted to you. Guoning Company is growing bigger and bigger, and now I am short of people. I also know that cronyism and family management are not acceptable in private companies, but there is no way. It is not easy to find a capable person these days, and it is even more difficult to find a loyal one. I have suffered. I have used some capable people in the past, with majors and high education. I treat them sincerely, but every Chinese wants to be their own boss. Once their wings are hardened and they can fly solo, they will still follow me Flip! Our current competitors all followed me, and they were all fattened up by me. There are also people who look honest and hardworking, but end up greedy for the company's money behind their backs. Let me find out. Or I'm tired now. Although Ning Ning likes to be in charge, she is a woman, and she is still a little tender now. In addition to her temper, she has accumulated too many grievances in the company for a long time It's not a solution, I just wipe her ass. If you become a part of our family, it will definitely help me a lot. You went to college, you are a man, and you are smart. You follow me and have a good time Learning, it will take a few years to practice. In the future, I will hand over the daily operation of the company to you, and I am too tired these years!" Zhong Guoqing said seriously, and I listened seriously.I can't listen to his earnest words.And to be honest, Zhong Guoqing is ten years older than me, and it's the first time that he and I are so heart-to-heart like a confidant of the same generation, and it's so deep, so sincere, and so heart-to-heart, I'm quite moved, My fledgling professionalism was thus reinvigorated.I immediately made a statement: "Brother, I'll listen to you. You can decide what to do with me and Zhong Ning." My ring, my words, I didn't think of it beforehand. In a daze, even if he made a lifelong commitment with his sister Zhong Ning.
The wedding date was discussed again by Zhong Guoqing and my dad. Of course, my dad didn't have any opinion, and let Zhong Guoqing take full control of the decision. It was finally set on a Sunday a month later. Although it is not a festival day, but the calendar says the time of day Well, it's time to get married.And relatives and friends can also spare time on Sunday.
As soon as the wedding date was decided, Zhong Guoqing had another talk with me, and the place was in his office.His office is next to Zhong Ning's, the area is much larger, and the executive desk is more elegant.Zhong Guoqing sat upright behind the executive desk, solemn and solemn, so that I had to look serious when I sat opposite him. The atmosphere seemed to be talking about work, but in fact we were talking about marriage and marriage. We were talking about housework. .
Zhong Guoqing said: "I am just such a younger sister, she is my only relative, now I entrust her to you, can you be responsible to her to the end?" I hesitated, and then said: "Do my best. " Zhong Guoqing looked at me a little dissatisfied, as if wondering what my somewhat ambiguous answer meant.He may have thought that I would be very excited, swear, and blushed, but I didn't, my face was calm, and there was only one statement that was not satisfying or reassuring, so he emphasized his tone, and said: " In the past, I heard that you were close to a girl who worked as a temporary worker in the Jingshi Sports School, do you still have a relationship now?" I was taken aback, I didn't expect Zhong Guoqing to know about An Xin, and he would mention this to me.I froze for a moment, and then asked: "Who did you listen to?" Zhong Guoqing looked at me blankly, and said: "Now that you have settled with Ningning, you must pay attention to your behavior in this regard. I have been in the business circle for so many years, nothing but many friends, it is not easy for you to hide anything from me. I don’t care about your past affairs, from now on, don’t bully Ningning. Besides, everyone now Knowing your relationship with Ningning, if you don't behave properly, it will make me lose face. People in the business field can lose anything, but they can't lose face." I lowered my head, speechless.After Zhong Guoqing drank the stick, he gave me a "carrot" again, changed the topic and said: "After you get married, if you want to live in Xiangjiang Garden, you can live there. Anyway, a house more than 400 meters away is enough for you. If you want to live alone Live, I’ll buy you another apartment, an apartment or a villa, you can choose it yourself. Even if I’m your brother’s wedding gift to you.” Of course I don’t want to live with Zhong Guoqing, and Zhong Ning does too. Find a place alone with me.So, Zhong Ning and I went out to look at houses whenever we had time in those days. Later, Zhong Ning took a fancy to a villa in Fucheng Garden.When Zhong Ning went home and told her brother, her brother also frowned.Zhong Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, this is my marriage, this is the only time in my life, I don't want to make do with it." Zhong Guoqing hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.During those few days, Zhong Ning seemed very happy about this matter.She can't kiss me and her brother very well.
I am also happy, to be precise, it is a kind of nervous excitement.But the nervous excitement will definitely not last long, and it will be unsustainable in a short time.For me, marrying Zhong Ning may only be regarded as a choice for life achievement and career development, rather than a true pursuit of personal feelings and family happiness.In those days I tried my best to avoid thinking, to avoid questioning myself, to avoid digging deeply into my own heart and emotions.Because it is difficult for me to answer the question of the importance of career achievement and emotional happiness even if I look around.Everything is going forward naturally with the process of things. I just think that this step will be taken sooner or later anyway.
Although the marriage is not yet over, I have already moved into Xiangjiang Garden. In that villa of nearly [-] square meters, I have a comfortable room.The room is equipped with a large bathroom with a large bathtub. Lying in the hot water of the bathtub, if you look up a little, you can see the greenery outside the window.
In terms of the company's business, Zhong Guoqing also began to cultivate me in a planned way.I am allowed to attend many important meetings in the company, to participate in many big events, and to introduce customers, large and small, to me one by one, so that I can accumulate knowledge, understand the situation, broaden my knowledge, and get acquainted with the relationship.He gave me a vacant position as an assistant to the chairman of the Guoning Group, and I will no longer hold the position of the engineering headquarters of the Guoning Taekwondo Hall since then.
So at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Guoning Taekwondo Hall that day, I showed up as an assistant to the chairman, and my seat was still ahead of my original superior, the project commander Bian Xiaojun.When Bian Xiaojun saw me, he was more polite to me, one mouthful of Mr. Yang, so affectionate that I got goosebumps all over my body.
Liu Minghao also went there that day, with a "guest" red flower hanging on his chest.The Longhua Architectural Decoration Company, which he has many social connections and nominally owns 800% of the shares, attacked the Guoning Group from inside and outside, and finally won the bid as he wished, and got the big job of nearly [-] million yuan. Son.Those who attended the groundbreaking ceremony that day included the principal of the Jingshi Sports School, several heads of the District Sports Committee, and several past stars in the sports world.Everyone gathered around a leading cadre invited by Zhong Guoqing who had just stepped down but still had prestige.
The foundation laying ceremony was very simple. The joint venture parties gave speeches, and then the construction contractor, that is, the boss of Longhua Company, made a statement.And then a few words of congratulations from specially invited sports celebrities.Then the guests each took a shovel, dug a few shovels of soil, and threw them on the foundation stone monument, meaning meaning.Then the spotlight flashed and flashed, leaving a memory.
Then, go to Wanjia Denghuo Restaurant to have a foundation-laying meal.When everyone got into the car, I whispered in Zhong Ning's ear, "I'm not going, I feel a little sick to my stomach, and I might have diarrhea. I don't want to eat this kind of social dinner either. A lot of people made a fuss It’s like, I’m bored.” Zhong Ning glanced at me, I let the sun sit in the sun for half the morning, my face was indeed a little flushed and sweat-stained, she said: “Then I won’t go, I’ll accompany you if you have a bad stomach. Where can you go and have some porridge." I said, "No, it's not good if you don't go, and your brother will be upset by then. Last time I had a headache, he said I had too many things to do. You should go." Zhong Ning said it was fine, she told me a few words, and followed the group of people into the car.I watched the cars passing by, until they were covered by the dust raised from the construction site, and then disappeared without a trace, and then I turned back and entered the Jingshi Sports School again.
Before it was time for lunch, I went straight to the Taekwondo gym that was about to be demolished.There was a class in the gymnasium, and I saw the coach. Before I could say anything, the coach rushed to me: "Hey, I heard that you are the owner of our club now. Look at you and me. In terms of the relationship between teachers and students for a day, they will have to eat in the future." I smiled, not interested in talking to him, I asked: "Is An Xin here today?" "Who is it?" "An Xin, that handyman." "Oh, she left early. Did you have something to do with her?" "Gone? She went out today?" "She fired us here, how many days ago. If others don't know, you should know Ah." "Expulsion!" I was taken aback: "Why?" "I don't know, it's a club. I heard that this girl is more romantic outside. After all, our place is a club run by the state. If she goes out outside What's the matter, it's not good for us here." I was stunned for a long time, then turned and left.The coach seemed to say something behind me, but I didn't catch it.
I quickly ran to the hut where An Xin lived, and the door of the hut was locked.I poked my head through the crack of the door, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.I ran to the office of the Beijing Taekwondo Club and saw the manager Ma of the club coming out with a lunch box. It seemed that he was going to eat in the cafeteria.I know that Manager Ma hopes to continue to serve as the manager of the new joint venture Guoning Taekwondo Club, but in fact, Guoning Company doesn't care much about him, and he was not included in the list for the foundation-laying dinner today.He and I were the first to invite Guoning Company to come in, but now it seems that it is really a bit of ushering in the house.I didn't care about greetings and comfort, and hurriedly asked: "Manager Ma, why was An Xin fired?" "An Xin?" Manager Ma was about to make out with me, when I came up and asked me this question with staring eyes, and I reacted It took me a long time to say: "You mean the temporary worker here, what's the matter, do you know him?" I explained indiscriminately: "Ah, she is the sister of a classmate of mine. What mistake did she make and get fired?" "Ah, It was proposed by your Guoning Company. You are now our sports school’s investment partners, partners, and major shareholders. We must respect your opinions.” “It was proposed by Guoning Company?” I It was like being hit with a stick by someone, and I couldn't tell whether I was dazed or sober, I just felt a sharp pain in my heart!
"Why? Who did she offend?" I knew what was going on, but I still asked subconsciously.
"I heard that this girl's life style is not very good. In society, she belongs to the kind of girl who compares others randomly. Maybe she is still earning money outside with her face. If we know about this kind of person, we can't keep it. . " My chest was filled with breath, which made me almost speechless: "Why... why do they say that!" Manager Ma obviously didn't have any real evidence, so he made a positive analysis in a general way: "People from Guoning Company have a lot of contacts in society. I guess someone may know something about her." I almost shouted loudly: "Then you, you should also investigate clearly before talking about it." Why do people say that you were expelled without even doing an investigation? What do you eat when you are expelled?" Manager Ma was stunned, as if he felt that it was not worthwhile to be so angry about a classmate's sister, but he still patiently explained: " She is not a regular employee of ours, and it is impossible for us to investigate her affairs everywhere. Since the shareholder has brought it up, of course we believe the shareholder. On the other hand, if we do not open her, your company will Don’t invest in us any more, isn’t it a small loss.” “Where is she?” I was already desperate.
"I don't know, I've been away for more than a month." I understood, counting the time, An Xin was chased away by them not long after Zhong Ning met An Xin at my house that night.It's been over a month since this happened, and I don't know anything about it.I was only preoccupied with getting married, choosing a villa, and buying furniture. Little did I know that An Xin's life had actually been ruined by me.
I'm sick and I'm angry!I am so sorry for her!
I didn't go back to Xiangjiang Garden that day, I went back to my hut.I didn't eat lunch or dinner, so I didn't feel hungry at all.I just feel angry!I am so angry that I can't do anything!I can only shut myself in the room alone, thinking about peace of mind.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhong Ning called me, and I called back.From the surrounding voices, one could tell which restaurant she was eating at.Zhong Ning said, "Where are you, why is your phone off all the time?"I said I am at home.She asked: In Xiangjiang Garden?I said: No, I'm not going there anymore.
I hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Zhong Ning came and knocked on the door. I opened the door, turned around and sat back on the sofa without looking at her.The room was dark without a single light turned on, Zhong Ning turned on the chandelier with a snap, and asked loudly, "What's the matter with you, who recruited you again? No wonder my brother said you have a lot of things to do, you are just a thing Too much!" I drank water and ignored her, she snatched my cup away, and doubled her voice: "Please tell me clearly, what are you going to do!" Then I raised my eyes and stared at her, I Holding his breath, he asked slowly: "How do you know, that woman works in the Taekwondo gym, who told you about it?" Zhong Ning probably already guessed why I did this, and said without changing expression: "If you want to be unknown, unless you do nothing about it yourself, what kind of shameful things do you have with her that I'm afraid I will know?" I suddenly shouted: "Who said that!" Zhong Ning was startled, and I I was also taken aback, I have never yelled at Zhong Ning before!
Zhong Ning stared at me, tears came out.She trembled angrily and said, "Okay, I've been trying to save face for you by not revealing this matter, but you got angry at me instead. That's fine, I'll wait for you, Yang Rui, and you won't tell me about this matter." Make it clear that if you don't admit your mistakes to me, we're not finished!" Zhong Ning finished crying with her voice, and slammed the door and left.It took me a long time to suppress the urge to break up with her.
Later I found out that the "informer" was Liu Minghao.Zhong Ning asked Liu Minghao about my relationship with girls, starting from the diaper era, all the way to An Xin.Liu Minghao didn't dare not to say it. If he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to get the project of Guoning Taekwondo Hall. That project was very important to whether he could get the [-]% stake.According to Liu Minghao's later explanation: Everyone has to live.
Yeah, I have nothing to say.Everyone has to live!This is an era in which material survival is of paramount importance.
I also went to find Liu Minghao.
I didn't go to Liu Minghao for a few useless reprimands, I just needed Liu Minghao to tell me: where did An Xin go.
Liu Minghao himself was blushing, I'm sorry for a thousand, and I'm really sorry for 1.I said coldly: Don't do this thing anymore. If you become a whore, don't set up archways anymore. You drove An Xin away, and you brought her back to me!
Liu Minghao said with a bitter face: "She, I guess I'm going back to my hometown, but I'm sure I can ask for you." The relationship between Zhong Ning and I was tense for a long time, and we didn't talk to each other.I didn't go back to live in Xiangjiang Garden, nor did I take care of the decoration of the new house in Fucheng Garden. I just went to work in the company as usual every day.There is nothing specific about going to work, I just read books and newspapers in the office, consuming it until I leave after get off work.My dad called me and scolded me severely. He scolded him, but I didn't say a word anyway.Zhong Guoqing also had a conversation with me, which was still so heart-to-heart and profoundly meaningful, and he even made a few self-criticisms: "The girl who asked them to dismiss the girl was the leader of the sports school that Ning Ning found, of course, I also know. It's a bit cruel to do this. I also persuaded Ningning to let her talk to you face to face and discuss the matter. But we have to make this matter clear. First of all, you are wrong. You and that girl are between you and Ning Ning handed it in after she recovered. It's normal for Ning Ning to overreact to this matter. If she doesn't like you, she has every reason to brag about you. In my opinion, you should take the initiative to apologize to Ning Ning. As for Ning Ning, I also persuade her. Let's stop here, okay." I didn't go to apologize to Ning Ning.Why should I apologize? She is the one who should apologize. Why should she make people feel at ease.I didn't apologize and I didn't move back.Ning Ning ignored me, as if I didn't know each other when we met in the company.The cold war between the two of us has lasted for a long time, and almost everyone in the company knows about it.Some people still think that I have a lot of backbone, and change their impression of me and think that I am a pretty good person.
Our scheduled wedding date came and passed. Even my father and Zhong Guoqing, no one mentioned the matter of marriage.However, I heard from Ningning's driver that Ningning is still busy decorating the house in Fucheng Garden every day, and is still busy choosing furniture and curtains everywhere.Furniture is also almost bought.The driver also told me that she also ordered a set of fitness equipment that I saw in "Lisheng" last time.
That night Liu Minghao came to my house, saying that he had nothing to do and stopped by here to see if I was still alive.He made himself a pot of tea and sat down to chat. As soon as he said the first two sentences, I could tell that his identity here today was Zhong Ning's special envoy.He said what kind of temper are you playing, Zhong Ning is the boss of your company anyway, and you owe it to me to deal with this matter, what are you so arrogant about?Zhong Ning just loves you and likes you, a young boy like you, otherwise he would have scrapped you a long time ago.Today she saw me and chatted with me for a long time, saying that she really wanted to kick you at the beginning, but she felt reluctant after thinking about it.I originally told her that I would come here today to persuade you and ask you to make up for her.Guess what Zhong Ning said, she said forget it, I know he won't apologize to me, I don't understand Yang Rui's temper, he has a lot of self-esteem.Who made him a man? Let him save face.Look at his chest, I really didn't see it before, it's much stronger than your mother!
I didn't respond.But he asked: "Let you find An Xin, did you find it?" Liu Minghao blinked numbly, and held back for a long time before he could say: "Do you think I will tell you or not." I was a little surprised: " Did you find it?" Liu Minghao said bitterly: "If I tell you the truth, I will actually ruin you. You said that you and Zhong Ning are both virtuous, why are you still thinking about your love! You Can you ruin your future for such a girl who can't get along with you!" I stared and forced Liu Minghao: "Tell me where she is!" Liu Minghao hesitated for a long time, and said coyly: "I'm going to tell you, When Zhong Ning found out, he had to fight with me." I said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Zhong Ning." "You can guarantee that you won't tell her!" "Why should I tell her, I'm sick!" "This But you can't say for sure, when the couple is good, you can tell everything from the bottom of your heart. Someday you will get bored with Zhong Ning again, and you will betray me on the side of the pillow. I will still be with Guoning Company We can’t deal with each other anymore.” With red eyes, I said, “Which of us betrayed the other!” Liu Minghao was speechless for a moment: “Okay, okay, I’ve betrayed you, I’m a traitor, okay? Don’t use traitors as spies anymore Don’t ask me about An Xin, I don’t know. What are you doing with me with these two girls!” I said, “Brother, please, can’t you? What, I just want to apologize to her. If she has any difficulties, I will help her as much as I can, otherwise I will always have trouble with my conscience." Liu Minghao smiled and said: "Oh, oh, I really didn't see you before How can I find a conscience for which girl.” Then he stopped laughing, sighed again, and laughed at himself: “I only now understand that being a fucking traitor and secret agent is actually the hardest job. Well, then I Let me destroy you again today. Let me tell you, you are at ease, and now you are selling furniture for others in the Third Ring Furniture City!"
(End of this chapter)
At that time, I didn't know that the story was far from over, because An Xin stopped narrating when talking about Mao Jie's departure.She was silent for a long time, depressed, so I had to change the subject and try to cheer her up again.
"Would you like some coffee? I'll make it," I said.
"I'll do it." An Xin stood up for me and went to the kitchen.As if to escape from this dimly lit living room full of too sentimental memories.An Xin has lived with me for nearly half a month, boils water and cooks for me every day, and seems to be more familiar with how to make coffee than I am.
I went into the kitchen and helped her wash the coffee pot and coffee cups. Neither of us spoke, only the sound of water splashing and the slight resistance of the electric coffee stove.Anxin made coffee, took a cup I was washing in my hand, and said, "Let me wash it, someone knocked on the door." I put down the cup and looked at the watch. It was already past ten o'clock, who would come? ?I walked out of the kitchen, across the living room, and opened the door.The lights in the corridor were dark, but I saw a person standing in front of the door, and I asked: Who is it?The people outside the door stepped in without waiting for my permission almost at the same time as I asked the question.
"Me!" My head was swollen like I saw a ghost, my lips were numb, my legs were stiff, and I was sweating all of a sudden.
"...Zhong Ning?" That's right, it was indeed Zhong Ning!
Zhong Ning smiled triumphantly, and raised my ear as soon as he came up, "I've been knocking on the door for a long time, why did I just hear it! Didn't expect it to be me! I guess you won't think!" I blocked the door stiffly, almost forgetting Make way, "Didn't you...didn't you go to Inner Mongolia? The plane was delayed?" I almost doubted whether this Zhong Ning was real. I sent her to the airport two hours ago, and I clearly saw her and her The sisters and husband walked into the ticket gate talking and laughing.The real Zhong Ning should be still in the sky at this time, or just landed at the airport outside Hohhot.
Zhong Ning said solemnly: "Didn't you tell me to come back earlier? Didn't I listen to you and come back earlier!" Seeing that I was still in a daze, she burst into a smile and said, "I didn't get on the plane at all. I was at the airport. I called our customer in Inner Mongolia and asked him to accompany me. I told the people at the airport that I couldn’t leave because of an emergency, and the people from the airline would have to take me to the plane! At most, I wouldn’t get a refund Oh, what's the matter, I just gave up my plane ticket and sacrificed my strongest and strongest son just to come back to accompany you, why don't you seem to be happy!" Zhong Ning looked at the shock on my face In a daze, I threw my handbag on the sofa triumphantly, wrapped my arms around my neck, and hung my whole body in the air.She smiled and ordered: "Hold me in!" She hung on me heavily, I was unprepared and almost let her hang down, so I quickly and subconsciously caught her legs and hugged her up .Then, the unavoidable situation finally happened, and An Xin walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.The two women seemed to be destined to meet in this small living room, their eyes were facing each other, and they were so close, I wish I could get in through a crack in the ground beside me.
Zhong Ning seemed to have forgotten that she was still hanging on my body with her feet off the ground at this moment, and stared straight at An Xin aggressively, although her voice was not loud, it was in a provocative tone: "Yo, who is this?" Yes?" An Xin held the coffee pot in one hand and the cup in the other, and stood at the door of the kitchen in a daze.Of course she saw the relationship between Zhong Ning and me - Zhong Ning put his arms around my neck and asked me to hug me like this, what else could it be!Zhong Ning must have figured out An Xin's role at this time - what else can a girl do if she stays here in the middle of the night!Zhong Ning turned her head around, and suddenly raised her voice and yelled into my ear, I could even see my bewildered face in her fierce eyes.
"Who is this, she is!" I let go of Zhong Ning and put Zhong Ning down, wanting to save the situation in my heart, but also desperately wanting to smash the pot, at this moment, I made a sound entirely based on a subconscious reaction : "She, she is my classmate, she came to Beijing and came to see me." I don't know whether this answer is quick wit or stupid.An Xin was the first to calm down and make a normal gesture. She put down the coffee in her hand and said to me calmly, "Ah, you have guests, so I'll be leaving first." Zhong Ning called her to stop: "Wait, don't Go! Are you his classmate?" Zhong Ning's voice was stern, her attitude towards An Xin set my heart on fire, I really wanted to rush up and beat her up like a gentleman, but I didn't move.I just suppressed the fire and shouted: "Zhong Ning!" Zhong Ning turned his head and glared at me, "What's the matter, I can't ask?" I also glared: "This is my guest, can you be more polite? We were all in a hurry, only An Xin remained calm, picked up her backpack without any expression, opened the door calmly, turned around to say goodbye to me, and went out, the door was slammed Take it lightly.
That "goodbye", I could hear it, it was very cold, so cold that it made you feel that there was some resentment.
An Xin left, leaving me and Zhong Ning alone, and my heart was not as tense as before.Now it's just the two of us, and I can lie as much as I want, invent explanations without scruple, and continue to carry out righteous indignation gestures to the end! ——He is my classmate. We haven’t seen each other for more than a year after graduating from university and went back to my hometown. He came to Beijing to see what’s going on with me!You should spread the word about your attitude towards me tomorrow and let our classmates know, so you shouldn't say it as a joke!Why are you hurting me by saving some face for me, huh?
Zhong Ning squinted at me, then looked around the room without saying a word, looking around, as if to find some evidence of adultery.In the end, she found nothing, not even any doubts. Finally, she finally said: "You guys, I know you want face. If you want face, don't do such shameless things. Let me tell you Yang Rui, I can tolerate you in everything. If you say you don’t want to get married for the time being, you can do as you please. But there is one thing, don’t always think that you are smart and no one will find out what you do. Paper can’t contain fire, there is nothing impenetrable Wall, if you want to be unknown, unless you do nothing, be careful and don’t let me catch it, if you catch it, don’t regret it!” I stopped talking, and Zhong Ning slept here at night.After the lights were turned off, she made a request, but I was not emotional and acted passively.Zhong Ning struggled for a long time but failed to mobilize my enthusiasm. She was a little annoyed, and pushed me vigorously and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong with me! Don't even think about it, I won't even get on the plane, I just ran Come back to look for you, you are fine, what are you doing hiding here in the middle of the night with a woman! I saw if I could not be in a hurry with you. In the end, you got angry. A while ago, I went to other places and went abroad again. Who knew you What did you do alone in Beijing!" Actually, I wasn't angry, I was just confused, and I just wanted to feel at ease.I think the image of me in her mind is completely ruined now, she must be heartbroken, just like how Mao Jie felt towards her back then.She just didn't slam the door as hard as Mao Jie when she left.
In the morning of the next day, Zhong Ning and I went to work together, attended the meeting of the project preparation office of the Guoning Taekwondo Hall, and listened to the designers of the design institute talk about the graphic design plan.Zhong Guoqing also came, and the plan was mainly to tell him.I sat on the side absent-mindedly, and stayed until the meeting ended at noon. Zhong Guoqing wanted to invite a few designers to have a meal, and said that some problems could be discussed while eating.Zhong Ning invited me to participate, I said that I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and wanted to find a place to stare for a while.Zhong Ning thought that I made her mess up last night, so she let me do whatever she wanted very loosely, and did not forget to say a few words of compassion when we parted.
As soon as I left the company, I hurriedly called An Xin on my mobile phone.No one answered the phone in the Communication Office of Jingshi Sports School. Finally, someone answered. I asked him to help find An Xin, but after waiting for a long time, he told me that An Xin was not there.I know she's there, but she doesn't answer my calls.I didn't bother to eat lunch, so I drove straight to the Beijing Normal University Sports School, and then went straight to the Taekwondo Hall after arriving at the sports school.Sure enough, Anxin is here, washing the mop in the water room.She knew I was standing behind and deliberately didn't look back.I said: "Are you angry?" She said: "No." I said: "I love you." She turned her head and wanted to leave the room with a mop with water in her hand. She said: "The person you love There are too many." I stopped her and yelled: "No! You should listen to my explanation!" My voice was a little rough, and I stood down with peace of mind and looked up at me, but I didn't know what to explain.
I didn't dare to look at her like this, so I looked away, lowered my voice, and said the same thing: "I love you." An Xin shook her head, and I saw that her calmness was intentionally shown to me.She said calmly: "You know Yang Rui, I just want to live in peace, I don't want to get involved in any right and wrong, I hope you can let me live quietly like before!" An Xin finally got a little excited, she tried her best to suppress it, her voice was already a little shrill.After she finished speaking, she took the mop and rushed out the door.I still wanted to pull her, but at this time someone came and asked An Xin to go to the practice hall to help carry things.An Xin followed that person.I stood in the water room without going out, listening to them walking away while talking outside the door.
That night, very late, I called her after I was sure that An Xin would return to the sports school after class.As usual, Uncle Zhang answered the call. When he heard my voice, he said in a rough voice, "Are you looking for An Xin? She's not here!" Before I could say a second word, the phone was hung up.I also dropped the phone and cursed fiercely: "Damn it!" I couldn't tell if I was cursing Uncle Zhang or An Xin.
I didn't look for peace of mind anymore.A few days later, I received a remittance slip from the post office. The remittance amount was 5000 yuan. The remittance address was a certain street, a certain lane in Nande, Yunnan, and the name was An Xin.I know, An Xin and I are over.
This is the first real love and the first real failure in my experience with girls. It's hard to explain the feeling for a while.In the first few days, what I felt most strongly was the kind of uselessness when my self-esteem was accidentally bruised, but in the next few days, it was the joy and warmth when I was with An Xin that frequently appeared in my mind.Every thing, every detail, I think of it, I can't think about it, I can't control it.After much deliberation, I still feel that among all the girls, peace of mind is the best.Maybe it's just like what Liu Minghao said, An Xin is from a small place, and she doesn't have the same taste as a girl from a big city.The innocence, hard work, hard work and non-snobbishness of girls in small places have a special sense of freshness for those of us who have hardly left Beijing, or to use Liu Minghao's words to describe me, that is: "Maybe you are just fine." This mouth." I tried hard to ask myself not to think about peace of mind, to devote myself to work wholeheartedly, and let work occupy my energy and space for thinking.In the company, I try my best to get along well with everyone, not show my "son-in-law" appearance, and respect Bian Xiaojun.Seeing Zhong Guoqing, he respectfully called him "Mr. Zhong" like everyone else.The relationship with Zhong Ning is also as normal as possible, neither humble nor overbearing, avoiding quarrels, serious when it should be serious, relaxed when it should be relaxed, not indifferent to her, and not too passionate.
At the press conference celebrating the topping out of the Guoning Building, I met my dad.I haven't seen him for a long time.He posted more blessings than before, and he presided over the press conference that day, and he couldn't hide the triumphant expression on his face.As soon as the press conference was over, he called me aside, took out a passbook and stuffed it in my hand, and said, "Here, buy a diamond ring for Zhong Ning, this is what the man must buy. That's what your dad did for you." I will give you a gift when you get married in the future, and I will give it in advance." I opened the passbook, and there was 1 yuan in the passbook.Whole.Although my dad's current salary is higher than in the past, 1 yuan is still not a small amount for him. I want to push it back: "Dad, what are you worrying about, we are early." My dad stared and scolded me : "Why are you so stupid, this is only given when you are in love, do you understand! Diamonds are forever, and one will be left forever. This represents the purity and eternity of love, and it was given at this time, etc. Once you’re really married, you won’t be as romantic. Once you’re married, you’ll live in pots and pans.” My dad can even catch the words in the advertisement, and it’s obvious that he’s working in a private company during this period. Thought personality and language style have some changes.My dad insulted me a few more words, turned around and left.I took the passbook of 1 yuan and stood there in a daze.
The next day I went to Guiyou Building and picked out a diamond ring with less fancy carvings.The price is auspicious: nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.I paid the money.The diamond ring was put into a small blue velvet box, tied with a ribbon on the outside, and then grandly packed in a delicate small bag, giving people a special temptation.The moment the salesperson handed over the small bag to me, An Xin's face suddenly flashed in my heart, and I imagined how it would feel if I bought it for her.
A few days later, one evening, Zhong Ning called me and told me to go to her house for dinner, and I took the diamond ring with me.Zhong Ning and her brother Zhong Guoqing live together. They live in a villa in Xiangjiang Garden. I have been to that place many times, and the guards are all familiar to me.Zhong Guoqing was there that day. Before eating, I took out the velvet box in front of Zhong Guoqing, gave it to Zhong Ning, and said, "I give you something." What are you giving me, we are both old and married.” When I opened it, it was a diamond ring. I was a little surprised, and asked happily, “Hey, what do you mean by giving me this?” I said, “It doesn’t mean anything, Just to give it to you." Zhong Ning smiled, approached me, and said, "You have to bring this thing to me yourself." I thought about it, it seems that there is such a rule, so I held up Zhong Ning's left hand, Put the diamond ring on her ring finger.She was very happy, and she tilted her face aggressively, which meant that I should kiss her.
I kissed her.She kissed me too.Her brother Zhong Guoqing said with a smile: "Ahem, cough, don't be so nasty in front of people, okay?" Zhong Ning had a very happy meal, not only had a good appetite, but also took the initiative to tell a lot of jokes, even some pornographic joke.Very yellow very yellow kind.Huang Delian couldn't bear to listen to Zhong Guoqing, and said: "Why are you so disgusting? It's okay for a man to say this, but you don't think it's shabby for a girl to say this." Zhong Ning said: "What's the matter? There are no outsiders at home, so let’s have fun.” Zhong Guoqing shook his head helplessly at me, and said, “Her carelessness has been exposed in front of you.” Zhong Ning curled his lips and said, “Ask Yang Rui, I Who has more problems with him.” I said, “What’s wrong with me?” Zhong Ning said, “What’s wrong, you don’t know what’s wrong!” I knew what she was referring to, so I had no choice but to pretend to be stupid and not to be serious.
After dinner, Zhong Ning went to the study to answer a call from one of her girlfriends.Chatting between girls is always going on and on.Zhong Guoqing lit a cigarette and chatted with me in the living room.
He asked me first: "What's the matter, when are you going to do it, you guys?" I didn't expect him to ask this at first, but then I thought about it, I came to give the ring today, and I brought this topic myself, so I asked Hastily replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, we are still too young, so don't worry about it. The two of us together are less than 45." Zhong Guoqing's attitude was quite serious, and he said: "Ningning and I, neither parents are here. Well, I'm Ning Ning's parent. I suggest you think about this matter as soon as possible. I'm not only for you two, but also for the company. If you and Ning Ning become husband and wife, many things in the company can be entrusted to you. Guoning Company is growing bigger and bigger, and now I am short of people. I also know that cronyism and family management are not acceptable in private companies, but there is no way. It is not easy to find a capable person these days, and it is even more difficult to find a loyal one. I have suffered. I have used some capable people in the past, with majors and high education. I treat them sincerely, but every Chinese wants to be their own boss. Once their wings are hardened and they can fly solo, they will still follow me Flip! Our current competitors all followed me, and they were all fattened up by me. There are also people who look honest and hardworking, but end up greedy for the company's money behind their backs. Let me find out. Or I'm tired now. Although Ning Ning likes to be in charge, she is a woman, and she is still a little tender now. In addition to her temper, she has accumulated too many grievances in the company for a long time It's not a solution, I just wipe her ass. If you become a part of our family, it will definitely help me a lot. You went to college, you are a man, and you are smart. You follow me and have a good time Learning, it will take a few years to practice. In the future, I will hand over the daily operation of the company to you, and I am too tired these years!" Zhong Guoqing said seriously, and I listened seriously.I can't listen to his earnest words.And to be honest, Zhong Guoqing is ten years older than me, and it's the first time that he and I are so heart-to-heart like a confidant of the same generation, and it's so deep, so sincere, and so heart-to-heart, I'm quite moved, My fledgling professionalism was thus reinvigorated.I immediately made a statement: "Brother, I'll listen to you. You can decide what to do with me and Zhong Ning." My ring, my words, I didn't think of it beforehand. In a daze, even if he made a lifelong commitment with his sister Zhong Ning.
The wedding date was discussed again by Zhong Guoqing and my dad. Of course, my dad didn't have any opinion, and let Zhong Guoqing take full control of the decision. It was finally set on a Sunday a month later. Although it is not a festival day, but the calendar says the time of day Well, it's time to get married.And relatives and friends can also spare time on Sunday.
As soon as the wedding date was decided, Zhong Guoqing had another talk with me, and the place was in his office.His office is next to Zhong Ning's, the area is much larger, and the executive desk is more elegant.Zhong Guoqing sat upright behind the executive desk, solemn and solemn, so that I had to look serious when I sat opposite him. The atmosphere seemed to be talking about work, but in fact we were talking about marriage and marriage. We were talking about housework. .
Zhong Guoqing said: "I am just such a younger sister, she is my only relative, now I entrust her to you, can you be responsible to her to the end?" I hesitated, and then said: "Do my best. " Zhong Guoqing looked at me a little dissatisfied, as if wondering what my somewhat ambiguous answer meant.He may have thought that I would be very excited, swear, and blushed, but I didn't, my face was calm, and there was only one statement that was not satisfying or reassuring, so he emphasized his tone, and said: " In the past, I heard that you were close to a girl who worked as a temporary worker in the Jingshi Sports School, do you still have a relationship now?" I was taken aback, I didn't expect Zhong Guoqing to know about An Xin, and he would mention this to me.I froze for a moment, and then asked: "Who did you listen to?" Zhong Guoqing looked at me blankly, and said: "Now that you have settled with Ningning, you must pay attention to your behavior in this regard. I have been in the business circle for so many years, nothing but many friends, it is not easy for you to hide anything from me. I don’t care about your past affairs, from now on, don’t bully Ningning. Besides, everyone now Knowing your relationship with Ningning, if you don't behave properly, it will make me lose face. People in the business field can lose anything, but they can't lose face." I lowered my head, speechless.After Zhong Guoqing drank the stick, he gave me a "carrot" again, changed the topic and said: "After you get married, if you want to live in Xiangjiang Garden, you can live there. Anyway, a house more than 400 meters away is enough for you. If you want to live alone Live, I’ll buy you another apartment, an apartment or a villa, you can choose it yourself. Even if I’m your brother’s wedding gift to you.” Of course I don’t want to live with Zhong Guoqing, and Zhong Ning does too. Find a place alone with me.So, Zhong Ning and I went out to look at houses whenever we had time in those days. Later, Zhong Ning took a fancy to a villa in Fucheng Garden.When Zhong Ning went home and told her brother, her brother also frowned.Zhong Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, this is my marriage, this is the only time in my life, I don't want to make do with it." Zhong Guoqing hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.During those few days, Zhong Ning seemed very happy about this matter.She can't kiss me and her brother very well.
I am also happy, to be precise, it is a kind of nervous excitement.But the nervous excitement will definitely not last long, and it will be unsustainable in a short time.For me, marrying Zhong Ning may only be regarded as a choice for life achievement and career development, rather than a true pursuit of personal feelings and family happiness.In those days I tried my best to avoid thinking, to avoid questioning myself, to avoid digging deeply into my own heart and emotions.Because it is difficult for me to answer the question of the importance of career achievement and emotional happiness even if I look around.Everything is going forward naturally with the process of things. I just think that this step will be taken sooner or later anyway.
Although the marriage is not yet over, I have already moved into Xiangjiang Garden. In that villa of nearly [-] square meters, I have a comfortable room.The room is equipped with a large bathroom with a large bathtub. Lying in the hot water of the bathtub, if you look up a little, you can see the greenery outside the window.
In terms of the company's business, Zhong Guoqing also began to cultivate me in a planned way.I am allowed to attend many important meetings in the company, to participate in many big events, and to introduce customers, large and small, to me one by one, so that I can accumulate knowledge, understand the situation, broaden my knowledge, and get acquainted with the relationship.He gave me a vacant position as an assistant to the chairman of the Guoning Group, and I will no longer hold the position of the engineering headquarters of the Guoning Taekwondo Hall since then.
So at the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Guoning Taekwondo Hall that day, I showed up as an assistant to the chairman, and my seat was still ahead of my original superior, the project commander Bian Xiaojun.When Bian Xiaojun saw me, he was more polite to me, one mouthful of Mr. Yang, so affectionate that I got goosebumps all over my body.
Liu Minghao also went there that day, with a "guest" red flower hanging on his chest.The Longhua Architectural Decoration Company, which he has many social connections and nominally owns 800% of the shares, attacked the Guoning Group from inside and outside, and finally won the bid as he wished, and got the big job of nearly [-] million yuan. Son.Those who attended the groundbreaking ceremony that day included the principal of the Jingshi Sports School, several heads of the District Sports Committee, and several past stars in the sports world.Everyone gathered around a leading cadre invited by Zhong Guoqing who had just stepped down but still had prestige.
The foundation laying ceremony was very simple. The joint venture parties gave speeches, and then the construction contractor, that is, the boss of Longhua Company, made a statement.And then a few words of congratulations from specially invited sports celebrities.Then the guests each took a shovel, dug a few shovels of soil, and threw them on the foundation stone monument, meaning meaning.Then the spotlight flashed and flashed, leaving a memory.
Then, go to Wanjia Denghuo Restaurant to have a foundation-laying meal.When everyone got into the car, I whispered in Zhong Ning's ear, "I'm not going, I feel a little sick to my stomach, and I might have diarrhea. I don't want to eat this kind of social dinner either. A lot of people made a fuss It’s like, I’m bored.” Zhong Ning glanced at me, I let the sun sit in the sun for half the morning, my face was indeed a little flushed and sweat-stained, she said: “Then I won’t go, I’ll accompany you if you have a bad stomach. Where can you go and have some porridge." I said, "No, it's not good if you don't go, and your brother will be upset by then. Last time I had a headache, he said I had too many things to do. You should go." Zhong Ning said it was fine, she told me a few words, and followed the group of people into the car.I watched the cars passing by, until they were covered by the dust raised from the construction site, and then disappeared without a trace, and then I turned back and entered the Jingshi Sports School again.
Before it was time for lunch, I went straight to the Taekwondo gym that was about to be demolished.There was a class in the gymnasium, and I saw the coach. Before I could say anything, the coach rushed to me: "Hey, I heard that you are the owner of our club now. Look at you and me. In terms of the relationship between teachers and students for a day, they will have to eat in the future." I smiled, not interested in talking to him, I asked: "Is An Xin here today?" "Who is it?" "An Xin, that handyman." "Oh, she left early. Did you have something to do with her?" "Gone? She went out today?" "She fired us here, how many days ago. If others don't know, you should know Ah." "Expulsion!" I was taken aback: "Why?" "I don't know, it's a club. I heard that this girl is more romantic outside. After all, our place is a club run by the state. If she goes out outside What's the matter, it's not good for us here." I was stunned for a long time, then turned and left.The coach seemed to say something behind me, but I didn't catch it.
I quickly ran to the hut where An Xin lived, and the door of the hut was locked.I poked my head through the crack of the door, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.I ran to the office of the Beijing Taekwondo Club and saw the manager Ma of the club coming out with a lunch box. It seemed that he was going to eat in the cafeteria.I know that Manager Ma hopes to continue to serve as the manager of the new joint venture Guoning Taekwondo Club, but in fact, Guoning Company doesn't care much about him, and he was not included in the list for the foundation-laying dinner today.He and I were the first to invite Guoning Company to come in, but now it seems that it is really a bit of ushering in the house.I didn't care about greetings and comfort, and hurriedly asked: "Manager Ma, why was An Xin fired?" "An Xin?" Manager Ma was about to make out with me, when I came up and asked me this question with staring eyes, and I reacted It took me a long time to say: "You mean the temporary worker here, what's the matter, do you know him?" I explained indiscriminately: "Ah, she is the sister of a classmate of mine. What mistake did she make and get fired?" "Ah, It was proposed by your Guoning Company. You are now our sports school’s investment partners, partners, and major shareholders. We must respect your opinions.” “It was proposed by Guoning Company?” I It was like being hit with a stick by someone, and I couldn't tell whether I was dazed or sober, I just felt a sharp pain in my heart!
"Why? Who did she offend?" I knew what was going on, but I still asked subconsciously.
"I heard that this girl's life style is not very good. In society, she belongs to the kind of girl who compares others randomly. Maybe she is still earning money outside with her face. If we know about this kind of person, we can't keep it. . " My chest was filled with breath, which made me almost speechless: "Why... why do they say that!" Manager Ma obviously didn't have any real evidence, so he made a positive analysis in a general way: "People from Guoning Company have a lot of contacts in society. I guess someone may know something about her." I almost shouted loudly: "Then you, you should also investigate clearly before talking about it." Why do people say that you were expelled without even doing an investigation? What do you eat when you are expelled?" Manager Ma was stunned, as if he felt that it was not worthwhile to be so angry about a classmate's sister, but he still patiently explained: " She is not a regular employee of ours, and it is impossible for us to investigate her affairs everywhere. Since the shareholder has brought it up, of course we believe the shareholder. On the other hand, if we do not open her, your company will Don’t invest in us any more, isn’t it a small loss.” “Where is she?” I was already desperate.
"I don't know, I've been away for more than a month." I understood, counting the time, An Xin was chased away by them not long after Zhong Ning met An Xin at my house that night.It's been over a month since this happened, and I don't know anything about it.I was only preoccupied with getting married, choosing a villa, and buying furniture. Little did I know that An Xin's life had actually been ruined by me.
I'm sick and I'm angry!I am so sorry for her!
I didn't go back to Xiangjiang Garden that day, I went back to my hut.I didn't eat lunch or dinner, so I didn't feel hungry at all.I just feel angry!I am so angry that I can't do anything!I can only shut myself in the room alone, thinking about peace of mind.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhong Ning called me, and I called back.From the surrounding voices, one could tell which restaurant she was eating at.Zhong Ning said, "Where are you, why is your phone off all the time?"I said I am at home.She asked: In Xiangjiang Garden?I said: No, I'm not going there anymore.
I hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Zhong Ning came and knocked on the door. I opened the door, turned around and sat back on the sofa without looking at her.The room was dark without a single light turned on, Zhong Ning turned on the chandelier with a snap, and asked loudly, "What's the matter with you, who recruited you again? No wonder my brother said you have a lot of things to do, you are just a thing Too much!" I drank water and ignored her, she snatched my cup away, and doubled her voice: "Please tell me clearly, what are you going to do!" Then I raised my eyes and stared at her, I Holding his breath, he asked slowly: "How do you know, that woman works in the Taekwondo gym, who told you about it?" Zhong Ning probably already guessed why I did this, and said without changing expression: "If you want to be unknown, unless you do nothing about it yourself, what kind of shameful things do you have with her that I'm afraid I will know?" I suddenly shouted: "Who said that!" Zhong Ning was startled, and I I was also taken aback, I have never yelled at Zhong Ning before!
Zhong Ning stared at me, tears came out.She trembled angrily and said, "Okay, I've been trying to save face for you by not revealing this matter, but you got angry at me instead. That's fine, I'll wait for you, Yang Rui, and you won't tell me about this matter." Make it clear that if you don't admit your mistakes to me, we're not finished!" Zhong Ning finished crying with her voice, and slammed the door and left.It took me a long time to suppress the urge to break up with her.
Later I found out that the "informer" was Liu Minghao.Zhong Ning asked Liu Minghao about my relationship with girls, starting from the diaper era, all the way to An Xin.Liu Minghao didn't dare not to say it. If he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to get the project of Guoning Taekwondo Hall. That project was very important to whether he could get the [-]% stake.According to Liu Minghao's later explanation: Everyone has to live.
Yeah, I have nothing to say.Everyone has to live!This is an era in which material survival is of paramount importance.
I also went to find Liu Minghao.
I didn't go to Liu Minghao for a few useless reprimands, I just needed Liu Minghao to tell me: where did An Xin go.
Liu Minghao himself was blushing, I'm sorry for a thousand, and I'm really sorry for 1.I said coldly: Don't do this thing anymore. If you become a whore, don't set up archways anymore. You drove An Xin away, and you brought her back to me!
Liu Minghao said with a bitter face: "She, I guess I'm going back to my hometown, but I'm sure I can ask for you." The relationship between Zhong Ning and I was tense for a long time, and we didn't talk to each other.I didn't go back to live in Xiangjiang Garden, nor did I take care of the decoration of the new house in Fucheng Garden. I just went to work in the company as usual every day.There is nothing specific about going to work, I just read books and newspapers in the office, consuming it until I leave after get off work.My dad called me and scolded me severely. He scolded him, but I didn't say a word anyway.Zhong Guoqing also had a conversation with me, which was still so heart-to-heart and profoundly meaningful, and he even made a few self-criticisms: "The girl who asked them to dismiss the girl was the leader of the sports school that Ning Ning found, of course, I also know. It's a bit cruel to do this. I also persuaded Ningning to let her talk to you face to face and discuss the matter. But we have to make this matter clear. First of all, you are wrong. You and that girl are between you and Ning Ning handed it in after she recovered. It's normal for Ning Ning to overreact to this matter. If she doesn't like you, she has every reason to brag about you. In my opinion, you should take the initiative to apologize to Ning Ning. As for Ning Ning, I also persuade her. Let's stop here, okay." I didn't go to apologize to Ning Ning.Why should I apologize? She is the one who should apologize. Why should she make people feel at ease.I didn't apologize and I didn't move back.Ning Ning ignored me, as if I didn't know each other when we met in the company.The cold war between the two of us has lasted for a long time, and almost everyone in the company knows about it.Some people still think that I have a lot of backbone, and change their impression of me and think that I am a pretty good person.
Our scheduled wedding date came and passed. Even my father and Zhong Guoqing, no one mentioned the matter of marriage.However, I heard from Ningning's driver that Ningning is still busy decorating the house in Fucheng Garden every day, and is still busy choosing furniture and curtains everywhere.Furniture is also almost bought.The driver also told me that she also ordered a set of fitness equipment that I saw in "Lisheng" last time.
That night Liu Minghao came to my house, saying that he had nothing to do and stopped by here to see if I was still alive.He made himself a pot of tea and sat down to chat. As soon as he said the first two sentences, I could tell that his identity here today was Zhong Ning's special envoy.He said what kind of temper are you playing, Zhong Ning is the boss of your company anyway, and you owe it to me to deal with this matter, what are you so arrogant about?Zhong Ning just loves you and likes you, a young boy like you, otherwise he would have scrapped you a long time ago.Today she saw me and chatted with me for a long time, saying that she really wanted to kick you at the beginning, but she felt reluctant after thinking about it.I originally told her that I would come here today to persuade you and ask you to make up for her.Guess what Zhong Ning said, she said forget it, I know he won't apologize to me, I don't understand Yang Rui's temper, he has a lot of self-esteem.Who made him a man? Let him save face.Look at his chest, I really didn't see it before, it's much stronger than your mother!
I didn't respond.But he asked: "Let you find An Xin, did you find it?" Liu Minghao blinked numbly, and held back for a long time before he could say: "Do you think I will tell you or not." I was a little surprised: " Did you find it?" Liu Minghao said bitterly: "If I tell you the truth, I will actually ruin you. You said that you and Zhong Ning are both virtuous, why are you still thinking about your love! You Can you ruin your future for such a girl who can't get along with you!" I stared and forced Liu Minghao: "Tell me where she is!" Liu Minghao hesitated for a long time, and said coyly: "I'm going to tell you, When Zhong Ning found out, he had to fight with me." I said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Zhong Ning." "You can guarantee that you won't tell her!" "Why should I tell her, I'm sick!" "This But you can't say for sure, when the couple is good, you can tell everything from the bottom of your heart. Someday you will get bored with Zhong Ning again, and you will betray me on the side of the pillow. I will still be with Guoning Company We can’t deal with each other anymore.” With red eyes, I said, “Which of us betrayed the other!” Liu Minghao was speechless for a moment: “Okay, okay, I’ve betrayed you, I’m a traitor, okay? Don’t use traitors as spies anymore Don’t ask me about An Xin, I don’t know. What are you doing with me with these two girls!” I said, “Brother, please, can’t you? What, I just want to apologize to her. If she has any difficulties, I will help her as much as I can, otherwise I will always have trouble with my conscience." Liu Minghao smiled and said: "Oh, oh, I really didn't see you before How can I find a conscience for which girl.” Then he stopped laughing, sighed again, and laughed at himself: “I only now understand that being a fucking traitor and secret agent is actually the hardest job. Well, then I Let me destroy you again today. Let me tell you, you are at ease, and now you are selling furniture for others in the Third Ring Furniture City!"
