Inside and Outside the Siege: A Woman's Battle for Marriage

Chapter 4 Seeing through the old man's 36 tricks (1)
There is no free lunch

In the past few days, Zhang Zhonghou has been thinking hard about a way to get closer to Xu Qiuying.Based on his judgment and analysis, Xu Qiuying is not a very casual girl like Zhang Lina. If she doesn't adopt some ingenious methods and just lures her with money, it will probably not work.

He believes that to capture a serious-looking girl like Xu Qiuying, one can only outsmart her, not force her to attack her, and don't be impatient.

After much deliberation, he decided to hire Xu Qiuying as his English tutor to teach him business spoken English.On weekends, let her work as a "sales interpreter" in the real estate sales department of "Dadi Group"-this is a position he created himself.The reason is that many foreigners like their real estate and often come to see the house, and the sales girls there don't know much English, so they can't communicate with foreign friends.

hey-hey.English tutoring plus sales translation, this reason should be quite sufficient, right?
He called Xu Qiuying and expressed his thoughts.Hearing that it was a work-study opportunity, Xu Qiuying was of course very happy. For her, it was like falling asleep and hitting the pillow.But at the same time, she has some concerns: her spoken English is not very good, and she is not only an English tutor, but also a sales translator, can she be competent?

Xu Qiuying said truthfully: "My spoken English is not very good, and I am worried that I will not be able to do it."

Zhang Zhonghou was secretly happy, knowing that she had made the right excuse, she was already tempted.At the same time, I admire Xu Qiuying's frankness.Well, an honest girl, he likes it better.

"It doesn't matter. I just learn some simple business English and go out to deal with the situation. A talented woman like you is completely competent. In addition, the sales translation does not need very profound spoken English, it is nothing more than simple translation for the real estate. It’s just a brief introduction of the situation and price. These shouldn’t bother you.” Zhang Zhonghou said calmly.

Thinking about it, these are really just a piece of cake for her.Her oral English is actually good, but she rarely has the opportunity to communicate with foreigners, and it is a bit awkward to speak.If it's just a simple conversation, she is not worried, after all, her college English level six is ​​not in vain.

Zhang Zhonghou continued to give Xu Qiuying reassurance: "Xiao Xu, don't worry, I won't lower your salary. I really want to ask you for a favor. I don't have any other intentions. My personality and hobbies are different from Mr. Zeng and the others. Yes, they like to play, drink, and sing, but I like to learn more in my spare time. People have to live to learn. Hehe." Zhang Zhonghou couldn't help but secretly admire his ability to make up stories, and his accent was just right .

Zhang Zhonghou's words finally completely dispelled Xu Qiuying's worries.To be honest, based on the last time I had dinner with Zhang Zhonghou and the others, and what I saw and heard about Zhang Lina and the others, she was somewhat wary of old men like Zhang Zhonghou.But seeing him speak so frankly now, and recalling his appearance, he is also kind, gentle, and has the air of a university professor, unlike the businessmen and bosses I usually see. The problem is that no matter how complicated and chaotic the society is, there are still decent men.Besides, I will be graduating soon this year, so I can just use this opportunity to get in touch with the society and prepare for work.Although she has gone to a newspaper office for internship several times, this is the first time she has actually received a paid job.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiuying asked, "When do you want to start learning English?"

"The sooner the better. Now I often have to communicate with many foreign friends. I don't understand a word of English, and I am almost dumb. Every time I listen to them, I can only worry on the sidelines." Zhang Zhonghou continued to show his ability to make up stories. ability.

"Okay then, I'll go to your office this afternoon."

"Okay. My office is on the 8th floor of the 'Dadi Building'. I will wait for you in the office."

Zhang Zhonghou, who hung up the phone, was excited and had endless aftertaste. He was intoxicated in his excellent performance just now for a long time.Yes, at this moment, his excitement is tantamount to earning millions.He knew that the mermaid Xu Qiuying was taking the bait step by step according to his plan.

Excited Zhang Zhonghou immediately called Zeng Deyi and said, "Old man, what are you up to?"

"Drinking tea in the office. What's your instruction?" Zeng Deyi said respectfully over there.

"There is no instruction. It's just a random question." Zhang Zhonghou tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, but he didn't say that he planned to hire Xu Qiuying to be his English tutor and sales interpreter.He didn't want to talk too much about things that hadn't succeeded.He just said lightly, "Xu Qiuying has been getting along with me slowly. What do you think should be done next?"

"Willing to spend money." Zeng Deyi said four words.This is indeed his experience. When he got Zhang Lina, it was the four-character policy that played a role.

"anything else?"

"Strength like big brother, tall and burly, connotative, and attractive. As long as you are willing to spend money, there is no woman who can't handle it." Zeng Deyi never forgot to flatter him honestly.

"My brother really hit the nail on the head. Good! Just do as my brother says!"

"I wish my eldest brother a happy life!" This is what current business owners like to say.

Zhang Zhonghou leaned back in the high-backed leather chair, lit a soft Chinese cigarette, took a good puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke from his nostrils, thinking happily about Xu Qiuying who was about to take the bait.

Needless to say, he must be willing to spend money.He has already made up his mind, if Xu Qiuying agrees to be his mistress, he plans to give her a flat in the "Haitian Times Land Garden" developed by their group, give her [-] living expenses every month, and buy a car give her.If she prefers a house in another real estate, he will pay her to buy it.If she followed him with all her heart, he would buy her a few more shops.In short, as long as she followed him, he would let her live comfortably.

He has already figured it out thoroughly. With his wealth, money is just a number, and it doesn't make much sense to have a few million more or less.He is already in his fifth year. Apart from managing the company well and doing business well, the most important thing is to eat well, drink well, and play well.This will make you feel better and feel better.

Over the years, there have been too many examples of rich people dying young, so many that he was terrified.Look at Wang Junyao, is the company big enough?Have you made enough money? At the age of 25, he was the first to open a private charter flight, contracting the charter flight route from Changsha to Wenzhou, and is famous at home and abroad for his "boldness".He had a net worth of more than 30 billion at a young age, but it is a pity that he passed away at the age of 38. What a pity to think about it!Think about the need to maintain good health. In addition to paying attention to diet and maintenance, you must let go and let your body be happy. Finding more women is of course essential.He once traveled to a famous hometown of longevity in the world, and asked the long-lived old people there about the secret of longevity. One of the male birthday stars told him this sentence: "Smoking, drinking, touching grandma." At that time, he just laughed it off , After he came back, he thought about it carefully: the secret of longevity that the male birthday star said is just contrary to modern medicine and modern health concepts, why can they live a long life?In fact, what they say "smoking, drinking, touching grandma" is a matter of mental health.Be happy all day long, worry-free about everything, and naturally be free from all diseases.Especially the point of "touching grandma" proves that they still have a normal sex life.Modern medicine has long pointed out that proper sex life of the elderly can relax muscles and activate collaterals, promote blood circulation and prolong life.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to pay so much attention and have so many scruples.In a word, he also wants to "smoke, drink, touch grandma" and live out his true self.

Although looking for a lover and having a mistress is somewhat sorry for Du Mengyuan.But since ancient times, who is not a man who has three wives and four concubines, and wives and concubines in groups?What do men conquer the world for?Isn't it to conquer women!How could there be such words as "overwhelm the country and overwhelm the city"?Thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with Du Mengyuan, it's not murder and arson, it's nothing more than raising another woman.With his wealth and status, it is not an exaggeration to raise 10!The red flag at home is not down, but the colorful flags are fluttering outside!As long as I like the new and never tire of the old, and don't abandon or give up on my original wife, what does it matter?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhonghou walked into the bathroom, specially applied some styling gel on his hair, combed it to make it shiny and shiny, and looked left and right in the mirror, for fear that he was not satisfied with anything.

Yes, he is in a good mood now, and he feels that his second spring is coming soon.He is 46 years old this year, which is the most attractive time for a man, the golden age in his life.Family, children, money, fame, status, honor, everything.The career is stable, and the person is mature and stable.If there is anything missing, it is the mistress.Look at the friends around me, many of them are worse than him, but all of them have mistresses and lovers, the second and third one after another.Only he has no fixed mistress or lover even though his net worth exceeds [-] million.There were a few short-term lovers, but they were not satisfactory, and they broke up after a few times.To be honest, no one would believe a man of his status without a mistress.Maybe people still think he is a whore and a hypocrite.

Xu Qiuying arrived as scheduled.On the 8th floor of the "Dadi Group" office building, and was about to walk in, the lady at the front desk asked her with a smile: "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Xu Qiuying stopped and responded, "Look for President Zhang."

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Appointment. He called me over."

"Excuse me, just wait a minute, I'll make a call." The receptionist picked up the phone and asked, "What's your name?" Clearly, she didn't believe that Xu Qiuying had an appointment.It's no wonder that there are so many salesmen who falsely claim to have an appointment or even pretend to be the boss's friend to break into the office these days.

"My surname is Xu, many Xu."

The lady at the front desk called the internal number of Zhang Zhonghou's office: "Hi, Mr. Zhang! There is a Miss Xu looking for you here."

"Well, you can bring her in." Zhang Zhonghou said.

The lady at the front desk smiled and nodded at Xu Qiuying, and said respectfully, "Miss Xu, come with me."

Walking into Zhang Zhonghou's office, Xu Qiuying was taken aback. This place is even more luxurious than the boss's office in TV dramas.The area is as large as 200 square meters!There are also lounges and small meeting rooms next to it.The furnishings in the office are magnificent, and the whole set of huanghuali office furniture alone is enough to shock people.With the interior decoration and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, the whole office looks solemn and grand, exuding a strong fragrance of books.

Xu Qiuying knew how valuable the huanghuali furniture was.When she was an intern in a newspaper office, she and a reporter visited the mahogany furniture market. At that time, the price of Hainan huanghuali reached 9000 yuan per kilogram, which was ridiculously expensive.In this way, the furniture in this office alone costs several million.I used to see the news of "Dadi Group" in newspapers and TV, but now I see it from the boss's office, and the response is really different.

Seeing the graceful Xu Qiuying in front of him, the meticulously dressed Zhang Zhonghou rushed up to meet him, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome Xiao Xu. You're here so soon."

Xu Qiuying shook hands with Zhang Zhonghou, continued to scan the office and said, "Mr. Zhang's office is so magnificent!"

"It's so-so. The office is just a place to work. Just pass it by." Zhang Zhonghou pretended to be modest.

"Are you mediocre? The Huanghuali furniture alone is worth several million!"

Zhang Zhonghou smiled: "Xiao Xu is also interested in huanghuali?"

"I just interviewed it before, and I have a little understanding. At that time, the price of Hainan huanghuali was 9000 yuan per kilogram. It was too expensive."

"It's all made by speculators. But it's not cheap. I bought it at 4000 yuan per kilogram."

Zhang Zhonghou made a cup of tea for Xu Qiuying himself, and cut to the point: "It is like this. I often have to deal with some foreign friends and discuss business. It is really inconvenient not to know some English. I have always wanted to hire an English teacher to teach oral English , I think you are more suitable, so I would like to trouble you." He took a sip from his cup of tea, and then said, "Also, foreigners often visit our company's real estate and want to buy our house, but our The sales ladies don't know much English, and it's not very convenient. So I thought of you, and I hope you can work part-time as a sales translator for us. I'm really sorry that I want to trouble you everywhere."

Seeing Zhang Zhonghou speak so sincerely, Xu Qiuying felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Where is it? Mr. Zhang thinks highly of me and trusts me." After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Mr. Zhang, why don't you trust me?" How about inviting students from our school's foreign language school?"

Zhang Zhonghou waved his hand and said, "Actually, I'm just learning some spoken business English. I don't need to mobilize the teachers. I just happened to know you, so I'm looking for you. In fact, your English is not worse than that of the foreign language department." Quickly bypassed this topic and said, "From now on, you only need to teach me one lesson every week. By the way, when do you usually have time?"

Xu Qiuying said: "We usually have time on Saturdays and Sundays."

"Saturday afternoon, then. Okay?"

"Ok."

"That's good." Zhang Zhonghou nodded and said, "The remuneration for you is 500 yuan per class. If you need to go to the sales department to help, I will give you another 1000 yuan each time."

Xu Qiuying couldn't believe her ears: No way?Such a high salary?I couldn't help asking: "You mean 500 yuan per class?"

Zhang Zhonghou asked intentionally: "What? Do you think it's missing?"

Xu Qiuying's heart was pounding, and she said sincerely, "No. I think it's too much."

Zhang Zhonghou was secretly happy for Xu Qiuying's honesty.I thought to myself what a wonderful girl, she is purer than mountain spring water, maybe it is still uncultivated virgin land.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhonghou said: "Not much, not much. In a market economy, knowledge has a price."

Xu Qiuying smiled slightly and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"I am the one to thank you. In fact, you have helped me a lot." Zhang Zhonghou said, "Then from today on, you will be my teacher, and I should call you Teacher Xu. Hehe."

Xu Qiuying was heartbroken, and said in panic, "Don't dare to be. How dare I be your teacher? You are the big boss, and I am a student, and I am much younger than you."

Zhang Zhonghou said with a hearty smile: "Teachers are those who are able! Who says young people can't be old teachers? Confucius said: three people must have my teacher. If you can guide me and teach me in English, you are my teacher." ! Right? Teacher Xu."

Xu Qiuying's face had turned into a red apple, and she said incoherently, "Mr. Zhang, you still...call me Xiaoxu...it's too awkward to call me teacher."

Looking at Xu Qiuying's shy and cute look, Zhang Zhonghou felt itchy in his heart, wishing he could pounce on her and nibble on her.This little beauty is so pure and crystal clear, spotless, it makes people feel distressed!I couldn't help laughing and said: "Others are good teachers, we Xiao Xu don't want to be a teacher, we are so humble... Well, let's call you Xiao Xu... By the way, Xiao Xu, let's have dinner together tonight Have a meal."

Xu Qiuying said: "Next time, I have something to do when I go back to school. I'll come back on Saturday."

Zhang Zhonghou thought about it and said, "Okay, let's invite you on Saturday."

Bypass behind the "work-study program"
When returning to school for dinner, Xu Qiuying excitedly said to Lin Haibo: "I found a wonderful work-study job today. It's great!"

Lin Haibo asked casually, "What job?"

"English tutor."

"How much is a class hour?"

Xu Qiuying said proudly: "500!"

"So much?" Lin Haibo was taken aback, thinking that Xu Qiuying was joking, and asked, "Really?"

"That's true. Classes start this Saturday."

"Oh, then you're lucky. How old is the child?" Lin Haibo thought he was an elementary school student, junior high school student, or high school student.It is very common for college students to be tutors nowadays, but this is the first time he has heard of such a high salary.He worked as a tutor for a high school student last year, and 50 yuan per class hour is considered high.

"About 40 years old."

Lin Haibo was even more surprised: "Such an old student? Male or female?"

Xu Qiuying told the truth: "The man is the boss of a big company."

Lin Haibo's heart skipped a beat, and he said firmly, "I think it's better for you not to go!"

"why?"

"Think about it, what does it mean that he can give such a high tuition fee? Do you think it's really a pie in the sky?" Lin Haibo said seriously, "I dare say he must be trying to trick you, The ulterior motives are not in family education."

Xu Qiuying thought about it and said, "I was a little worried at first...but I found that he is very sincere, not like that kind of person."

Lin Haibo said angrily: "Could it be that perverts have words written on their backs? The current boss doesn't have any good things!" Thinking of the small cars lined up at the school gate on weekends, Lin Haibo confirmed his point of view, and said unceremoniously Said, "You don't even think about it. He is an old man in his 40s and the boss. How can he learn English? I think he wants to attack you with sugar-coated bullets, and wants you to be his Xiaomi!"

Lin Haibo's words made Xu Qiuying very upset, thinking that his point of view was too arbitrary, how could he kill all the bosses with one stick?
"Your point of view is too absolute. You have never met anyone, how do you know who they are? Can't a boss in his 40s learn English? He often interacts with foreigners and wants to learn business spoken English so that he can communicate with foreigners. People communicate."

"Listen to him fooling around! Do you have to learn English yourself if you want to communicate with foreigners? Can't you hire a translator? Or just find a secretary who understands English? I think he's a weasel giving chicken New Year greetings, don't worry, be kind!"

"Don't think so complicated, they just want to learn English, not as bad as you think!"

"The current boss is like a bird! There is no good thing!" Lin Haibo said indignantly.Like many boys in the school, he didn't have a good impression of the merchant boss.The girlfriends of two boys in their class were snatched away by the bosses queuing up in the school gate.

Xu Qiuying said unhappily: "I don't care what he is, I just teach him English and get paid!"

Lin Haibo sneered and said, "You think he is stupid! If you don't see rabbits and don't scatter hawks, he will let you make money easily? Even if you make money, you have to pay the price. Don't you really know that they are trying to catch you? Got you?"
