Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Father Jianguo was dissatisfied with the housing arranged by the Gu family for his eldest son. He lived in a simple shed with bunk beds, small windows, and some without glass, stuck with newspapers, blown by the wind, and dust everywhere. , So he said: "Just live here? Our rural barn is better than here!" Xiaohang suddenly became furious.He dropped the things he was busy with and went to pick them up and see them off in person. It would be fine if he didn’t have a word of thanks, but he still said this, and it was too cold to beg for food. Hold on, who is stopping you!" Jianguo's father stared blankly and couldn't speak. He originally said what he said to Jianguo's daughter-in-law, so he forgot about Gu Xiaohang.After being hit by Gu Xiaohang like this, his anger suddenly disappeared, and he saw the current situation clearly.Jianguo's daughter-in-law is responsible for making arrangements for Jiancheng, but her younger brother does not have this responsibility. Seeing him like that, he can really let you go. "Her brother," Father Jianguo forced a smile to Xiaohangdao, "that's not what I mean, what I mean is, can we arrange a better venue?"

Xiaohang said unambiguously: "No. The conditions on the construction site are considered good, and there are also people who sleep in Datong bunk. There are more than 20 people sleeping backwards in three shifts. When one shift sleeps, the other two shifts work!" He Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Father, we came out to work to earn money, not to eat, drink, and feel comfortable." He took the lead into the work shed with his luggage.Father Jianguo had no choice but to follow in. During this period, Xiaoxi didn't say a word, she felt rather relieved, and was about to say something to her younger brother, but the younger brother didn't even look at her, he lowered his head, and followed into the shed.Xiaoxi had no choice but to follow in.

In the work shed, Jianguo's father had already put on the cover of the contractor, and while passing the man a cigarette, he said: "My brother, my son, please take care of me." His face was full of flattery and humility.The contractor frowned and pushed the cigarette away, and was about to say a few routine "official words", when he suddenly caught sight of Gu Xiaohang coming in from the corner of his eye, he hurriedly reached out to take the cigarette and said loudly: "What's the answer? Manager Gu's Relatives are my relatives!" When Jianguo's father heard that Xiaohang was the manager, his face changed suddenly, and he said to Xiaoxi, "Jianguo's daughter-in-law, come here, let me talk to you." He pulled Xiaoxi out, "Why didn't you say your brother is the manager?"

"A manager is not the same as a manager, he is just the manager of the project." "The manager is also a manager! Tell your brother to find a job for your brother to write and do calculations. Fortunately, he also graduated from high school. He was admitted to university with Jianguo back then. If it wasn't because his family could not afford two , he has also graduated from university now, and he can work in Beijing and have a family in Beijing like Jianguo!" He was angry again, "Your brother told you on the phone earlier, just to let you prepare, you Was it prepared like this? Is this a place where people live?"

This was overheard by the contractor who came out of the shed, and interjected: "Master, you don't know about that. Now the streets are full of college students in Beijing who can't find a job. They live in the basement and work in Beijing. They are all the same. Some of them can't even afford to eat and are not worthy of migrant workers." Jianguo's father was sullen and remained silent.Of course this person has to speak for Gu Xiaohang, Gu Xiaohang is his leader.But then, what the contractor said made his tense face relax.The contractor said: "According to the conditions of your son, he has never been out to work, and he has no skills. He has to start as a laborer. What is a laborer? It is a worker who works hard. Digging trenches, unloading goods, shoulders and portable , wherever you need to go, it is the lowest, hardest, and least skilled job in the construction team." Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiaohang, "However, our Manager Gu said that He Jiancheng is his relative, so I must give it to him. He made the arrangements. Manager Gu’s relatives are my relatives, no matter what, he is a bricklayer! No, learn! Who can be born?...Master, do you know about bricklayers?” Father Jianguo nodded, how could he not know about bricklayers?To build a house at home, the bricklayers are paid for, and they earn a lot of wages.The contractor said: "Not to mention the brisk work of bricklayers, you can also learn skills. Once you have learned it, you will not be afraid to go anywhere! Now Beijing is most in need of construction workers. Why? The 2008 Olympic Games, we must hurry up to do it." Construction!"

Father Jianguo was about to express his gratitude to Gu Xiaohang, so he forced a smile before opening his mouth.Gu Xiaohang didn't want to see him flattering him, and he didn't want him to say nasty words, so he said before him: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first." Then he left. Father Jianguo left the work shed with a mixed heart.Needless to say, I want to be a bricklayer to learn technology for my son.Worry is still about the son's residence.The eldest son is weak and weak, so the house is ventilated everywhere, how can he live?It was night, and Jianguo's father was sleeping at the home of his younger son who was too hot to wear two jackets. Thinking of his elder son sleeping in the shed, he couldn't fall asleep. He really wanted to call the younger son and tell him to tell his wife again. Said, can we change to a better venue.I was also afraid that my son would quarrel with his wife again if he was in a hurry, which would cause discord between the father and mother, which would be even worse for Jiancheng.I had no choice but to endure it, thinking that I would go to the construction site the next day, and then send a bed and quilt to the eldest son.When he got up early the next morning, he told his daughter-in-law.The daughter-in-law did a good job this time, and readily agreed, and immediately found the thickest satin quilt in the house, asked him to take a taxi, gave him the taxi fare, and gave him the meal money, saying It was because she had something to do when she came home at night, and she might come back later, and she didn't have time to cook for him, so she asked him to eat in the small restaurant downstairs.He said clearly in his heart, what's the matter going home?Her business is that she doesn't want to be with him, she despises him.But at the same time, my heart moved, and I told my daughter-in-law not to come back when it was late, and just sleep in her mother's house, so as not to run back and forth.What I thought in my heart was that if the daughter-in-law didn't come back, the eldest son could come and live at home. Although it wasn't a long-term solution, I didn't expect it to be long-term. If he could stay for one night, it was one night. It was already the beginning of spring, and it was getting warmer every day.When Xiaoxi heard Jianguo's father say this, it was only when her father-in-law didn't want to live in the same room with her—just like she didn't want to live in the same room with him—especially when He Jianguo was not at home, the two of them looked up and looked down, and had nothing to say. Looking for something to say, I was so tired that I readily agreed to my father-in-law's suggestion.

After Jianguo's father had breakfast, he went to the construction site, but no one was found.The workers have already left for work, and the shed door is locked.I asked other people, and they said that they didn't come back at noon, and they ate lunch on the construction site.He had no choice but to go home, wanting to come back after dinner.After dinner, he went to the work shed again, this time he found Jiancheng, and told Jiancheng to let him go home with him.Built refused.Let alone the matter without the consent of the younger sister-in-law, even if the younger sister-in-law agreed, he would not go, and he would cause a lot of trouble for others.This child is loyal and thinks for others in advance.Jianguo's father had no choice but to return to Xiaoxi's house, took the quilt, wrapped it, and sent it to his son.The lights in the construction shed were dim, and because it was too cold, the workers got into bed early.Jian Jian is new here, so he can only sleep in the place facing the door, which is also the coldest place.Jianguo's father looked at everything in front of him absent-mindedly, and felt very uncomfortable: two sons, one went to college, the other didn't, and the one who went to college and the one who didn't went to heaven.How is your son doing?How is the eldest son?The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

When I came back from the construction site, I found that I forgot the door key again.People in the village don't have the habit of carrying keys.So, I squatted at the door and waited.A neighbor in the past asked him if he needed to make a call, and he said no.Jianguo said that he would be back after eleven o'clock, and it was already past ten o'clock.He would rather wait outside the door for an hour than call his daughter-in-law for the key, because he doesn't want to be disgusted. In fact, Jianguo's father really misunderstood Xiaoxi this time. Xiaoxi really had something to do when he came home, not because he disliked him.Even if you dislike it, you won't dislike it at this time.He Jianguo was not at home, and he had repeatedly asked her to take care of his father on the phone. At this juncture, she left him and went back to her mother's house. Isn't she just looking for trouble?But it was a coincidence that she had to go home today and sign the book authorization contract with her father. Only after she had the contract could she talk to Liu Kairui about sponsorship and sponsor Xiaoxi's father to publish the book.If it wasn't for thinking about Jianguo father and son for the past few days, she would have gone directly to her mother's house after get off work yesterday instead of her own.She planned to go back after the contract was signed, but seeing that Jianguo's father would not let her go back, she was so happy that she went downhill and didn't go back.Thinking about it, there is no need to go back. The dinner is arranged, and the gas and water are not allowed to move. He Jianguo can come back tonight in just one night. What problems can there be?And Dad's book must be signed at night and the contract brought to the club the next day.

Xiaoxi's father's book club originally decided to publish it. Unexpectedly, at the final topic selection meeting of the social committee, the director of the publishing department firmly opposed it, saying: "I think that 50% of the topic selected for today's study The above can’t be published. Why? It can’t be sold. Let me tell you, editors should also respect the opinions of the publishing department when making a book? How many times have I told your editorial department that you must pay attention to the market when choosing a topic? , turned a deaf ear to it! The most typical one is the study of ancient poets by some professor, and Gu Xiaoxi caught it. Can the book be published? Who reads it? Who is the sales target? Have you done a market analysis? Have you calculated the cost? Who is to blame for the loss? Mess around!" He didn't know that the author of the book was Gu Xiaoxi's father, but Gu Xiaoxi didn't want people to know, for fear that people would say that she was using power for personal gain.Jian Jia participated in this meeting as the deputy director of the editorial office at that time, and she became anxious when she heard it.One is that she is really anxious for Xiaoxi's father. She has witnessed the dedication and hope that Xiaoxi's father has made for this book; in her private heart, she is mainly anxious for herself. The death of her book, as the deputy director of the editorial room, is not her business, but her business!So she immediately said: "This topic was reported last year. Besides, the agency agreed that the editorial office would produce a few non-profit academic books a year." , but it can’t be for the purpose of losing money. At least ensure that there is no profit and no loss! Even if you publish an academic book, you must have the qualifications to publish an academic book. In other words, you must be famous. Selling two books, or selling the author’s fame Either sell the content of the book. If you don’t take both ends, what will people sell?” Jian Jia couldn’t talk to him, so she could only emphasize that the author of the book was a professor.The director of the publishing department said unceremoniously, "Professor? Is a professor considered famous? At best, it is a professional title. It may be able to bluff people in your own unit. Who will recognize this in society?" At the end of the stalemate, the chief editor came out. He Ximu, if you really want to sell it, you can do it at your own expense-it is equivalent to voting for the approval of the director of the distribution department.The director of the publishing department immediately showed the tolerance and generosity of the winner, and said to Jian Jia, let me give you an idea: solicit sponsorship.Everyone laughed, can this also be called an "idea"?Now who doesn't want to attract sponsors, they want to be crazy.So the director of the publishing department also laughed, nodded and said yes, yes, if this is a beautiful girl writer, it is possible to get sponsorship;On the way back to the editing room after the meeting, Jian Jia thought hard, and suddenly thought of Liu Kairui.

That day Xiaoxi told her after talking with Liu Kairui that Liu Kairui said he could sponsor, but there were two conditions, one was not to sponsor Chen Lan, and the other was that Jian Jia had to talk.Jian Jia smiled coldly, and let the matter go.Now, she decided to ask Liu Kairui for the sponsorship for Professor Gu.Xiaoxi advised her to be cautious.Although Xiaoxi knew that if Jian Jia could get back together with Liu Kairui, her brother's problem would be solved, but she didn't want to encourage others to jump into the fire pit because of this.No matter how good Liu Kairui is, she also believes that his place is not a normal destination for a woman after all.She also thought that Jian Jia might do this to show off to her family, but at the same time she knew that it was useless.So I explained all this to Jian Jia in advance, she can't pretend to be deaf and dumb to take advantage of others.Jian Jia laughed it off, saying that Xiaoxi was overthinking, and that the reason why she did this was entirely for her own sake, and she didn't want the Gu family to misunderstand her because of things that couldn't be done in the book.Immediately call Liu Kairui.Liu Kairui said that he hopes to have an interview.She readily agreed and made an appointment to talk that night.And, it was settled that night.As soon as I went to work the next day, I told Xiaoxi that Liu Kairui had agreed to sponsorship, and asked her to go back today and sign the book authorization contract with her father, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

After work, Xiaoxi handed over the signed contract to Jian Jia; after get off work, she went directly to her parents' house.Parents also reminded her at the time that Jianguo is not with her father-in-law, is it okay to be at home alone?She said it was what her father-in-law meant.After eating and watching TV for a while, Xiaoxi washed up and went to sleep, completely unaware that Jianguo's father was waiting in the corridor in front of his house.There was no heating in the corridor and it was very cold.Jianguo said that when he came back at 11 o'clock, he didn't know why it didn't arrive until 12 o'clock. He was so cold that he couldn't stand up and squat, and he jumped back and forth with his feet upside down.He Jianguo arrived at this time, when his father was jumping back and forth in front of his house, and he was immediately angry.When he left, he asked Gu Xiaoxi to take good care of his father and brother, and kept calling her about this matter after he left. Unexpectedly, she could leave his father and go back to her mother's house alone!Jianguo's father explained a few words for his daughter-in-law, but based on He Jianguo's understanding of Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Xiaoxi's performance in the past, how could he believe that explanation?I take it for granted that my father did it as a last resort to calm things down.But in this matter, he can't "rest", "rest" can't!After entering the house, I first ordered a big pot of hot noodles for my father to eat, took care of my father, took a hot bath and put him to bed, then went to call Gu's family and questioned him.Still rational in his rage, he dialed Xiaoxi's cell phone.The Gu family's landline was in the living room. When it rang, the whole family could hear it. It was already midnight, and the Gu family should have gone to bed long ago.But Xiaoxi's cell phone said "shut down", which means that she also fell asleep.She can sleep well!On the day his brother came, she sent him to the work shed, leaving his old father alone at home, and she ran out to hide by herself, so cruel!He couldn't get through the phone, so he dialed the landline without even thinking about it.At this time, Jianguo's father heard the sound and rushed out to stop him, but he couldn't say it, and seemed to be arguing with her parents; He Jianguo gritted his teeth and said that she didn't regard my parents as parents, and her parents were not my parents! The Gu family was silent and they were all asleep.The moment the phone rang, Xiaoxi’s mother sat up in fright. When she realized that the phone was ringing, she immediately thought that there was something wrong with Bed 6. Bed 6 had a major liver resection in the morning, and there was heavy bleeding during the cut. , reported two critical illnesses.Thinking of getting out of bed like this, she walked towards the living room with her bare feet in the dark, and accidentally bumped her knee against the chair, causing her to yell out "Oops" in pain.Xiaoxi's father was so anxious that he fumbled all over the wall, finally found the light switch, and turned it on. When Xiaoxi's mother came to the living room, Xiaoxia had already answered the phone. She was young, quick to respond and quick to act, and whispered to the phone: "Xiaoxi has fallen asleep... OK, I'll call." Xiaoxi's mother asked who it was, and Xiaoxia said Who was it, Xiaoxi's mother's face sank all of a sudden, and she went back to the room without saying a word.It's past one o'clock at night, what's the matter with him, can't we talk about it tomorrow?Calling home, knowing that they have already gone to bed and have to work tomorrow, she and Xiaoxi's father are both old and not in good health, what does he mean by doing this?I felt chest tightness at that time, and took nitroglycerin and diazepam after returning home.Xiaoxi's father complained that she said that there is no need to be in such a hurry even if the hospital has something to do.She said that even though the hospital was fine, she slept soundly in the middle of the night, and couldn't stand the phone ringing like that.He also said that if the marriage of the children is not handled well, the parents will suffer a lifetime of punishment.They all instinctively felt that He Jianguo's uncharacteristically looking for Xiaoxi must be another problem between the two of them. Xiaoxi came to answer the phone in a daze. He Jianguo on the other end of the phone was full of storms.It must be that her father-in-law is sowing discord in the middle again, thinking that he didn't arrange a good place for his eldest son.My heart is also burning, I know her parents' living habits and still do it like this, what do you mean, do you plan to go through with it? Xiaoxi guessed right. The moment Xiaoxi disconnected the phone, He Jianguo thought of divorce.After breakfast the next day, he and his father went to see his brother. After searching around for a while, they found out where his brother was working.His brother is working with a bricklayer.That bricklayer was good, and he was also from Shandong. He took good care of He Jiancheng and taught him techniques without reservation.He Jiancheng was very satisfied.The bricklayer was also satisfied with He Jiancheng, saying that he was ingenious and could see through a little bit. If this continued, he would be able to single out in a short time.Seeing his brother's condition, He Jianguo felt at peace for a moment, and then he was willing to listen to his father's detailed description of yesterday's situation. After listening, he realized that Xiaoxi might have been wronged a little bit, and then he thought that maybe Xiaoxi had something to do when he came home. It just occurred to him that his father couldn't enter the door because he didn't bring the key, so Xiaoxi couldn't blame it all.At this time, his father told him that the Gu family had performed well this time, and it seemed that as long as they wanted to do something, they could still do it.At the same time, he asked his son if he could talk to Xiaoxi again, so that her family can also solve He Jiancheng's residence, and the work shed is too bad.He Jianguo didn't immediately agree.They arranged a job for my brother, and the arrangement was good, but they immediately made new demands, which is not good.Another worry in my heart is that I don't know what kind of impact the phone call made late last night had on Gu's family.So tell dad to take it easy, okay?Dad thought about it, and agreed to speak slowly. It was almost ten o'clock, and Xiaoxi came to the meeting room.Fruits and beverages in the conference room are ready.The fruits are strawberries, watermelons, cantaloupe, all out of season fruits.It is also fashionable.Serving winter fruits in summer and summer fruits in winter can show respect and attention to guests. Liu Kairui arrived at 10:30 to sign the sponsorship contract.Hearing that such a big man would come to the publishing house in person, the head of the publishing house was very happy, but of course it was also strange—something that was unconventional could not but be surprising.Is a small sponsorship, an unimportant book, worthy of a man like Liu Kairui who is so busy with his daily affairs, to condescend and do it himself?Only Jian Jia and Gu Xiaoxi knew what it was for.Out of gratitude to Jian Jia—after all, she helped her negotiate the sponsorship of her father’s book; also out of protection for old friends—the so-called "old" friends are because since the incident with Xiaohang, they The friendship no longer exists - Xiaoxi explained to everyone that Liu Kairui is a person with a cultural complex, specifically a language complex.That's why he cares so much about books, writers, and publishers.Although everyone felt that this explanation was far-fetched, they couldn't find any other explanation, so they accepted it.It's a great thing for Liu Kairui to send money, who would bother to find out the root cause of such a good thing?This matter was fooled by Xiao Xi.Since Jian Jia didn't want to show up too much, Xiao Xi said that she would handle everything at that time, until Jian Jia had to show up, she would just show a little face. Xiaoxi checked every detail in the conference room. She didn't really take Liu Kairui's arrival very seriously, but she had to take her leader to heart.When the president and editor-in-chief heard that Liu Kairui was coming, they all said that they would come and sit down for a while. She was in charge of this matter and of course wanted to leave a good impression on the leaders.At this time, there was a burst of human voices in the corridor, and Liu Kairui was led by the director of the distribution department.When Liu Kairui saw Xiaoxi, he immediately greeted Xiaoxi warmly, and the people around immediately looked at Gu Xiaoxi with admiration. While Gu Xiaoxi felt that he had face, he couldn't help feeling a little in awe of Liu Kairui.Awe is contagious.The director of the distribution department kept asking her with his eyes, why have you never disclosed such an important relationship resource?Gu Xiaoxi didn't look at him and didn't explain, she wanted to say some familiar words to Liu Kairui in public; Liu Kairui understood her thoughts, and cooperated quietly, the tacit understanding was natural and casual.Once again, Gu Xiaoxi felt that this person has some excellent qualities that attract both women and men... Liu Kairui sat down at the table, and the director of the publishing department said that the president and editor-in-chief would come right away.Liu Kairui didn't care about the president and editor-in-chief. After scanning around, he looked straight at Gu Xiaoxi and asked, "Where's Jian Jia?"Gu Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and he explained to the director of the distribution department that "Mr. Liu's sponsorship was negotiated by Jian Jia in person", and ran out to find Jian Jia.It seems that Jian Jia can't hide, if she doesn't come, Liu Kairui will keep asking, which will make people suspicious. Jian Jia wasn't in the office, she didn't bring her mobile phone on the desk, and she didn't know where she went.Xiaoxi waited for a long time. During this period, the director of the publishing department called her cell phone countless times. Finally, she waited until Jian Jia came back, saying that she had gone to the design room to read the cover of the book.Xiaoxi told her why she came to find her, and the disgust on Jian Jia's face at that moment made her heart flash like lightning, and she clearly saw an irreversible fact: Jian Jia really didn't love Liu Kairui anymore, not only did she not love Liu Kairui, but also Hate.Once a woman hates a man, it is very thorough, a kind of disgust from psychology to physiology, which is even worse than letting her touch a toad or a snake.Seeing this fact clearly, Xiaoxi felt ashamed and worried.The worry is naturally for his younger brother, he and Jian Jia seem to be unstoppable from this posture; he is ashamed for himself, in this case, let Jian Jia go to discuss sponsorship with Liu Kairui, it is really hard for her!Jian Jia silently listened to Gu Xiaoxi's explanation of the pros and cons of her going and not going, silently picked up the mobile phone on the table, and followed Gu Xiaoxi.Obviously, she didn't take her mobile phone just now on purpose, just because she didn't want people to find her. The president and editor-in-chief walked out of the conference room, and the director of the distribution department accompanied Liu Kairui to stand at the door to see the leader off, feeling anxious all the time: Why did Gu Xiaoxi and Jian Jia go and not come?Liu Kairui did not sign the contract for a long time, and said that he still wanted to discuss a few details with the responsible editor.The director of the distribution department can discuss the details with him and he can make the decision.Liu Kairui just waved his hand to express that there is no doubt about it.The director of the distribution department is not without sorrow. If the contract is not signed for a moment, all previous efforts may be wasted at any time.He wasn't in a hurry because the professor's book couldn't be published, but, if Liu Kairui got involved in this matter, he would have a series of follow-up actions on his side, and the significance of those actions was not just a sum of money. about this book.There is no doubt in my heart, why does Liu Kairui insist on talking with Jian Jia?Suddenly stunned: Could it be that he signed this contract just for Jian Jia?Very likely!Jian Jia is beautiful!A vulgar saying immediately popped up in my heart: Everyone has the love of beauty!Anything that can abuse vulgarity is the truth, and it cannot be broken in the world.The train of thought then extends in depth, and we must find time to have a good talk with the leaders of the agency, and then recruit people, and "image" must be clearly listed as an important item.Nowadays, the quality of a person's image has become an integral part of her ability including his!When he was deep in thought, he felt that Liu Kairui's body was obviously tense beside him, and he immediately woke up. He looked up and followed Liu Kairui's eyes—Jian Jia and Xiaoxi were walking along the corridor; The affectionate love flashed in Liu Kairui's eyes.Yes, yes, his judgment is right, now is an era of beauty economy-it is by no means sexist, the beauty of men and women is "color"-in fact, it was true in the past, but people always refuse to admit it and denounce it Because the taste is low and artificially constitutes an obstacle to the development of the beauty economy, we must completely eliminate the remaining obstacles and keep pace with the times! ... Four people—Liu Kairui, Jian Jia, Gu Xiaoxi, and the director of the distribution department—entered the conference room. Before Gu Xiaoxi could sit down, the director of the distribution department asked Gu Xiaoxi to go out with him under the pretext of something.Before leaving, he focused on pushing the contract in front of Jian Jia, and everything was said.After going out, he carefully and gently closed the door.As soon as they left, Liu Kairui took the contract in front of Jian Jia, without looking at it, and signed his name in the signature place, and then pushed it to Jian Jia, smiling: "Jian Jia, I was used by you this time." "What's wrong?" "It's nothing. I'm very happy. I've always liked being used by people. If someone uses you, it just means that you are valuable. I don't understand why you don't like this feeling." Jian Jia didn't speak.Liu Kairui had no choice but to go on and get to the point: "Jian Jia, are you and Gu Xiaoxi's brother just for fun or for real?" "I've never played with anyone before!" "Understood....In other words, plan to marry him?" "right!" "That kind of life is not suitable for you! Granny, rice, oil, salt, mother, you will be bored after two days. Ninety-nine percent of people in this world live this kind of life. They are like ants. One more is not too many. One less is a lot. Only one percent of the best people—” "Unfortunately, I'm not that good," Jian Jia interrupted him, "I just want to be a member of the ninety-nine percent, get married, have children, be a wife, be a mother, and have a home of my own!" "Jian Jia, do you know how many girls dream of being with someone like me," she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you want to be a member of that one percent?" Jian Jia said nothing.Liu Kairui grabbed her hand, "Jian Jia, isn't it just to have a child and be a mother? Give birth to me! I will send you abroad, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, you can choose whatever you want, France is also fine, and you are unmarried in those countries Mothers will not be discriminated against in any way..." "Then," Jian Jia continued, "I live alone with my child in that completely unfamiliar place, waiting for your occasional favor during your busy schedule. Liu Kairui, you are a selfish person!" "Selfish? Where is selfish? I really like you, and I really don't want to hurt my wife. If this is selfish, how many good men in the world are not selfish?" "Okay, you are not selfish, you are excellent, then, I can tell you that I don't want to have anything to do with you, an excellent man, and I don't want to be a third party anymore!" The contract was carefully put away. Liu Kairui watched her go, with disappointment and anger in his eyes - a kind of anger after being teased.It's true that 20,000 yuan is nothing to him, but his principle of spending money is that every dollar should be spent reasonably.If so, it is unreasonable.It's not about the money, it's about breaking the rules of the game.At that time, he took out his phone and called Gu Xiaohang, saying that he wanted to talk to him. ………… Back in the office, Gu Xiaoxi was waiting for Jian Jia in the room, and Jian Jia handed over the contract without saying a word.Xiaoxi accepted the contract, too ashamed to look up at her.Jian Jia didn't speak, and turned on the computer to work.The room was silent, only the sound of keyboards and the hum of the mainframe computer.After a while, Xiaoxi broke the silence first. "Jian Jia, don't let my dad know about this. He thinks he has done something beneficial to society. If he finds out, he has to publish it at his own expense. He would rather not come out! The old man has a lot of self-esteem, don't look at him I can't usually..." "Your dad? Are you still 'unable to get out'?" Jian Jia couldn't help snorting, "Stop being funny!" "Jian Jia, you have to understand them..." "I understand them! Who understands us?" Jian Jia broke out, "Xiao Xi, you are still young, I never thought you would be so old-fashioned!" "I'm not!" "No, what is that?" "It's for your own good!" "For our own good, you should help us!" "Jian Jia, since you and Xiaohang have true feelings, they should be able to stand the test." "We are true feelings, why do we have to go through some boring tests?" ………… In the end, the two broke up unhappy.In the evening, as soon as Xiaoxi entered the house, the door of the small cabin opened immediately. Obviously, he had been waiting for her.When you see her, tell her right away that you have something to talk to her about.She entered the small cabin, and after closing the door, Xiaohang told her about the phone call with Liu Kairui.On the phone, Liu Kairui angrily condemned their shamelessness.When Xiaohang heard about this, he was even angrier than Liu Kairui. "Why?" He asked Xiaoxi. "what why?" "Why use Liu Kairui's money?" "Because he's rich!" "There are a lot of rich people!" Xiaoxi was speechless when she answered with her tongue open.Needless to say, Xiaohang's analysis was sharp and accurate.Xiaohang continued: "You are absolutely responsible for this. No one there knows about Liu Kairui and Jian Jia. You are using Jian Jia, and you just want to push Jian Jia to Liu Kairui! You want to prevent Jian Jia from being Your sister-in-law is simply unscrupulous in embarrassing you... Gu Xiaoxi, I never thought you would be so shameless!" Xiaoxi couldn't say a word.Because the facts that Xiaohang said are all that fact, but the conclusion is not that conclusion.However, what does it mean that facts speak louder than words?This is. He Jianguo got off work.After get off work, he drove to his brother's construction site to pick him up.It is agreed that on the days when father is here, he will go to the construction site to pick up his brother for food and lodging every day after get off work.In the end, Jiancheng agreed to go home to eat, but he firmly disagreed to go home to live.When He Jianguo arrived, he saw that his brother was digging a ditch. The spring was cold, and his brother was only wearing a single jacket, and his head was still sweating profusely.Isn't my brother a bricklayer? Is this what a bricklayer does?I asked my brother what was going on, and my brother said that this morning, the contractor informed him that he would not be allowed to do bricklaying in the future, because he has no skills and cannot do it.He Jianguo became anxious when he heard this, and immediately called Xiaoxi to ask.Xiaoxi was also a little confused when he heard it, so he hurriedly called Xiaohang, but Xiaohang's attitude on the other end of the phone was extremely cold, asking what's the matter with Ligong?He should have been working hard!After all, I took the phone call. The fact is this, the contractor arranged for He Jiancheng to be a bricklayer with his exchange condition, that is, let Manager Gu sign his engineering bill.But his project did not meet the acceptance criteria and Gu Xiaohang could not sign.The contractor was honest, and immediately retaliated, saying: "Manager Gu, your relative has been working as a bricklayer for the past few days, and people reported that he can't do anything. I don't think he can do a bricklayer. He can only do manual work." !" Gu Xiaohang looked at that person contemptuously, and walked away.He never traded the quality of the project, especially with villains, but He Jiancheng's bricklayer was ruined.He didn't want to tell his sister about these things. If he talked about it, he was a laborer, but if he didn't, he was still a laborer. Why did he talk about it?Moreover, he didn't need to explain to her, and he didn't deserve her. Xiaoxi's lungs were about to explode after talking on the phone with Xiaohang.He was sure that Xiaohang did this for Jian Jia's sake, it was revenge.When he called Xiaohang again, he simply pressed the busy signal and refused to answer her call!Why is this man like this?Knowing that the current relationship between her and He Jianguo is like a steel wire stretched to the limit, it will break at the first touch. Wouldn't he add fuel to the fire by doing this?Call Xiaohang again, but still no answer.I ran to the street, dialed from a public phone, and answered as soon as I dialed.Xiaoxi yelled on the phone: "Gu Xiaohang, why didn't you answer my call?" Gu Xiaohang didn't answer at all, and hung up the phone right away.Without even thinking about it, Xiao Xi rushed out of the house, took a taxi, and went straight to Jian Jia's residence. At this time, Jian Jia was calculating her savings with a calculator at home, and the deposit certificates and passbooks were spread out on the table. Due to the firm opposition of Xiaohang's family, Xiaohang and Jian Jia made a bold decision to buy a house.Buy a house where they live together.Before Xiaohang's parents agreed, they lived together, and when they agreed, they got married.After making this decision, the heavy hearts of the two were suddenly relieved.Although Jian Jia had lived with Liu Kairui before, it was different.At that time, she was just Liu Kairui's outer room, now, she and Xiaohang will be the only ones for each other.Xiaohang asked her to go to see a real estate together after get off work. It was the place Xiaohang chose after repeated inspections, a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.There are three phases in the community, and the Venerable Master has already lived in the first and second phases.All slab buildings are facing south and north, with a maximum of six floors, and the distance between buildings is more than 30 meters.Jian Jia fell in love with her right away, just from the appearance, she liked it.The small building has rounded and smooth lines, completely different from the usual rigid high-rise buildings with square heads and square brains.They also went to see the first and second phases. It is a mature community. There are no cars driving on the ground, and the driveways are all underground. There is a fitness club with a swimming pool, fitness equipment, showers, and saunas. The front desk staff are enthusiastic and decent. As soon as he saw Jian Jia, he took the initiative to introduce him.There are also yoga classes, aerobics classes, and spinning... As long as you are a member, you will have free coaches.The greening of the community is very good. There are lawns and trees everywhere. There are winter jasmine and elm plum blossoms. Echo each other warmly.A path of bluestone slabs leads to a platform paved with bluestone slabs in the lawn. There are benches on the platform and an old man on the bench. The old man is bathing in the setting sun. A place where they can grow old!Xiaohang didn't know what Jian Jia was thinking, but he could feel her love and satisfaction, so he began to introduce Jian Jia from a professional perspective. "Don't think that small high-rises are just a convenience. Small high-rises mainly mean that there are fewer people living in the unit area; it means that the per capita open space is relatively large. In modern living, the environment is becoming more and more important, and it must not be simply understood as a place to accommodate people. Concrete buildings..." 简佳笑起来：“又开始了又开始了，又开始犯职业病了。” 小航也笑了：“那，我们明天来交定金？” 简佳说：“交首付。”于是就这么定了。 简佳心里头充满幸福，她终于要有自己的家了。尽管知道前面还有很多的困难，但她相信，只要他们俩同心同德，所有困难都会过去。毕竟，要结婚的是他们而不是别人。 把所有的存单存折加好，简佳满意地发现自己的钱还真不少。至少，交首付她出三分之一没有问题。这让她颇有成就感。这时，外面传来了敲门声，她一下子从心底里微笑了，肯定是小航。只有小航，才会不期而至。不料一开门，来的是小西。小西也来找小航。小航去哪儿了？ 小航正开着车在马路上走，没有目标没有方向，像上次那样，跟着绿灯走。他一直在想的是，这件事简佳为什么不告诉他。他们俩现在无话不谈，工作上的，生活中的，马路上遇到的，甚至中午单位吃的什么菜，她都会发短信告诉他，那让他感到了一种由家常琐屑小事串成的依恋和信赖——女人对男人的依恋信赖。这种感觉让他迷醉。但是，跟刘凯瑞拉赞助——而且是为他的爸爸——这么大的事，怎么只字没有听她提起过？不用说，是在刻意瞒他，为什么要瞒他？付房款首付的存款他昨天就拿出来了，当时还觉着不少，挺有成就感，现在想想，真是可笑，那存款的分量之轻现在只能使他感到屈辱。分量的轻重永远是相对而言，此刻，相对的便是刘凯瑞。小航陷入久久的沉思，头一次发现，在同简佳这件事上，他是过于自大过于自负了。他一直认为，障碍只在简佳那边，是简佳觉着她配不上他，却从来没有深入想想，没有把自己和刘凯瑞放在一块儿比比，客观比比，在女人那里，谁分量更重。在需要青春需要热情的时候，他重；但是在需要金钱需要物质的时候呢？他远不是对方的对手！ ...
