Chapter 5 5. High spirits

Accompanied by Shanshan, the Tsar sent Ming Xiang and Shef off to the airport. Sha Mingzheng and his wife also "reluctantly" followed behind the Tsarina. Shanshan hasn't slept all night, but she still has a smile on her face. "Dad, there are some things I don't want to say in front of the restricted area." Ming Xiang squatted at his father's feet: "You have to promise me two things." "Say it!" The Tsar looked sad. "First, I want you to take good care of yourself. I hope you accept Uncle Cai's proposal and go to physical therapy. You will definitely be able to stand up again."

"Oh!" The Tsar nodded. "Secondly, I don't have any sisters. Shanshan is like my own sister. I hope my father treats her well. She is an orphan, and now only my father can take care of her." Mingxiang sobbed: "Don't let anyone hurt her!" Shanshan opened her eyes hard because her vision was blurry. Rong Fangzi and her husband exchanged glances, Rong Fangzi curled up her lower lip, very disdainful. "Don't worry! Child, I will love Shanshan as much as I love you, and I want everyone around me to love her!" "Thank you, Dad," Ming Xiang held his father's arm tightly and looked up at Shanshan.Shanshan immediately gave her a smile, no one saw the tears in her eyes.

Ming Xiang couldn't be allowed to get on the plane with any worries. "Dad also has a few things for you to do." "Order, father!" "Write more letters, phone calls, and send video tapes to Dad. I will know if you have lost weight or gained weight!" "Dad, you will pay for the long-distance call!" "If you are not happy living in Canada, come back immediately!" "I'll fly back to Dad!" "Xief treats you badly, don't bear it alone, you must tell daddy, daddy won't spare him!" "Father sent a killer!" Ming Xiang suddenly stopped, and took a breath: "I will definitely obey my father's orders!"

"Fourth Miss!" Rong Fangzi couldn't be silent: "Your elder brother and I will definitely visit you during the holidays. You like to eat sausages, so we will bring you sausages." "Sister-in-law, haven't you always had the best memory? I haven't eaten sausage since I was a child. The one who likes to eat sausage is third brother. You should go and see him." "Your sister-in-law is old and useless, what the fourth girl likes to eat and what she wants, call long-distance, and it will be delivered!" Rong Fangzi smiled apologetically, and Sha Mingzheng also accompanied it.

"It's almost time to enter the gate," said the Tsar. "We will take you to the front of the restricted area." Outside the restricted area, the Tsar held his daughter's hand, and then Shaf's hand. He put his daughter's hand into Shef's hand: "Shef, I handed over my daughter to you, give her more Love, make her happy." "I swear!" Shef nodded vigorously. "Father!" Ming Xiang knelt down, embraced his father, and kissed his face. She got up slowly, looked at Shanshan, and said softly: "Take care!" Shanshan bit her lower lip.At this moment, she could hardly control the tears.

"Fourth Miss, Master Xiefu, have a good journey!" Mingxiang walked to the restricted area, stopped suddenly, turned her head, with tears on her face, she waved to her father and Shanshan, and resolutely walked into the restricted area. Shanshan was so impulsive that she almost wanted to rush in, and she also thought of going up to the watchtower, watching Mingxiang's plane fly away; but, how could the tsar's wheelchair go up to the watchtower?So, she did nothing. With a heavy heart, pushing the wheelchair, and the Sha family left the airport. After returning to her room after get off work, Ah Jin came in to wait for her to take a bath.

A Jin handed Shanshan a long box: "Miss Yu, Miss Yu gave this to me in the morning, and told me to wait for Miss Yu to come back and deliver it to Miss Yu." "Is there something for me? She didn't mention it to me." Shanshan quickly tore apart the gold paper, inside was a long red leather box, and opened it: "A gold watch from a famous factory, a brand-new gold watch, was robbed with Shanshan. The gold watch that went to him was exactly the same, and it was basically a pair with the gold watch that Shanshan gave Mingxiang before. Mingxiang wore it all the time, and raised it before entering the restricted area, and Shanshan put it on his wrist impatiently.

Wearing a gold watch on the bare wrist, it is particularly round and graceful. This watch is really meaningful, and her heart hurts, but it is also very sweet. Shanshan agreed early in the morning that she would not care about the company's business matters. She felt that it was not the time to intervene, so she had a lot of free time at work, so she went out for a stroll. As long as it doesn't hinder other people's work, she can communicate with people in various departments. The Tsar once said privately: "Look more and get in touch, I hope one day you will be interested in business. I always think that you are a talent."

Shanshan wouldn't say these words to others, she was afraid of scaring the snake, but she went in and out from department to department, she really wanted to get acquainted first and then learn from others. One day, she ran into Rong Fangzi outside the public relations department. "Are you going for a walk?" "That's right! Uncle Sha, I got lost. He told me to run out and take a closer look. There are several floors and many departments. I still can't tell them apart today." Shanshan still smiled. "I heard that you have visited many departments. Why haven't you been to the PR department?"

"I want to go in!" Shanshan lowered her head, "I'm afraid the eldest and younger wives won't welcome you." "Welcome, how dare you not welcome!" Rong Fangzi was exaggerating: "You forgot that the master said that he loves you and wants people around him to love you. I'm afraid I won't be too flattering to Miss Yu. Welcome, please come in. " "Thank you, young lady!" Shanshan followed her in, passing through the big office and the secretary's room. Shanshan greeted everyone, and Rong Fangzi said to the secretary, "The distinguished guests are on tour. I don't see visitors for the time being, and I don't answer the phone. Of course, the tsar's call is an exception." She Smiling so ugly: "Miss Yu, please come into the office and sit down!"

Sitting in Rong Fangzi's office. "You send the master to and from get off work every day, and you have a lot of free time in between, isn't it boring?" "It's boring for now, but the big office will be renovated soon, and I have my own place where I can read books and do small things." "Since I'm free, it's not bad to be a department manager. There are many departments here. However, the fourth girl said that the position of special assistant to the president is higher than that of the manager. I'm afraid that Ms. Yu will not give in. In fact, if you like it, being a deputy general manager is not a bad idea." Difficult, master loves you." "But when I first met the worker, I said it was better not to ask about business matters." "Master, you are always there for every meeting!" Rong Fangzi immediately retorted her. "This is the work that Mingxiang did before, and I just took over! I didn't look around during the meeting, and I don't have the right to vote." Shanshan patiently explained sincerely: "Actually, Mingxiang saw Uncle Sha take a long rest. Come back, worried about his physical strength, there is a special nursing staff by his side, so she can feel at ease. I came to Sha's house to do some trivial work, take care of Uncle Sha's health, pick up and drop off, and take care of the family. In fact, I should It’s right for the young lady to manage the Sha family, I don’t understand why the job falls on me, Ming Xiang said that it’s reasonable for the young lady to take care of the business and have no time to take care of housework, but I’m sure I’m not as capable as the young lady.” "You are in charge of the house. It's just a matter of time. Where will it be my turn to take care of the house? The master is not good to my husband and the second young master. Fortunately, the third young master is still up to date, otherwise our grandma would cry in heaven." Rong Fangzi never let go of Shanshan: "I don't understand, learn more, sooner or later you will be in power in the Sha family!" "How could it be? Young lady, I'm just a person with a different surname. I'm just taking the place of young lady temporarily, and young lady is the mistress of the Sha family." "If you marry into the Sha family, you will be the mistress of the Sha family!" "Who are you marrying?" Shanshan said foolishly, "The eldest young master has a young wife; the second young master's girlfriends, Ming Xiang told me, are all beauties, and a rough girl like me can't climb up to them; the third young master Being in a foreign country again, it’s really different from each other!” "Isn't it enough to marry our master? The wife of the Tsar is the first mistress of the Sha family." "Young lady, you are joking!" Shanshan was not angry at all, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Uncle Sha is already sixty years old, and my mother is only in her forties! He can be my grandfather now. " "It's better to be older, marry a rich old man, and when he dies, take his rich family wealth and marry a handsome young man!" "Well!" Shanshan shook her head: "I don't like to marry an older man, he is an emperor and I don't want to marry; besides, my family background is not bad." Rong Fangzi couldn't laugh for a while: "Since the family situation is not too bad, why did you leave your parents and family to work in the Sha family? You should continue to study, and the family can't afford it!" "It's my fault again. Since I broke up in love, I have no intention of studying. I used to have excellent grades, but I failed two exams in a row recently. The head of the department loved me very much and wanted to accept me as his goddaughter because my grades were not good. Well, I've been scolded. Oh! I've been dumped, I've failed my exams, the head of the department doesn't like me anymore, and when I'm angry, I don't go to school." "You are so spoiled, don't you feel wronged when you come to serve the old man?" "I'm really wronged, but there's nothing I can do." Shanshan said helplessly: "My father said that it's not good for a girl to stay in the house all day without going to school or getting married. He asked me to work in his company. I quarreled with him about business. Seeing that I had been hit a series of times, Mingxiang asked me to go to her house to change my environment. But I refused to go to Sha's house for free, so she arranged for me Some work. The Sha family is also good, and everyone treats me well." Shanshan looked at her watch and shouted: "It's terrible, I'm leaving get off work soon! I'm going to pick up Uncle Sha!" While brushing her hair, the eldest young mistress suddenly burst out laughing. Sha Ming just happened to come in: "Ma'am, what are you happy about?" "Then it's thirteen o'clock!" "Thirteen o'clock?" Mingzheng stood still, "The people around us are not good men and women." "Yu Shanshan!" "Old aunt? Didn't she always pretend to be old?" "This person is actually very dazed. She just came to my office and told her everything in detail, and she is not afraid of being laughed at." "How is she?" "She's broken in love, her fiancé has a new lover who doesn't want her, she's scolded by the professor for her poor grades in school, and she can't stay at home. She came to Sha's house to escape!" "Didn't she want to seduce Dad?" "She said that your father is too old to be her grandfather, and she also said that she likes young and handsome boys." "Then why is she dressed like an old aunt? If she is young, good-looking, and has a bit of taste, she will be the deputy general manager of our head office. She will be hooked. You can have another fiance right away!" "Yang Huang has been in the United States for business for a month, and it's time to come back. The old man is urging him, but unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend!" "So what if you don't have a girlfriend? You don't want to be a matchmaker, do you?" Ming Zheng reminded his wife, "Don't forget that Yu Shanshan is from Ming Xiang. Even if the surname Yu is not very smart, that damn girl must have a purpose in arranging her to come in." I think you have to be more careful, don't turn over in the gutter!" "What?" Rong Fangzi raised her green face: "Do I still want you to teach me? You think I'll believe her words! Are you smart or am I?" "Of course my wife is smart!" Sha Mingzheng was naturally afraid of his wife, so he quickly apologized and took the hairbrush for Rong Fangzi: "Madam, it's getting late, let's rest!" "Pfft! I hate it when people put on a straight face and teach me. Your IQ is compared to mine? Huh!" "Hey! The room is so beautiful, exactly the same as Miss Si's boudoir. Jiaohuang is more delicate than pink, do you think pink is a bit vulgar?" The next night, the eldest and younger wives came to visit, Shanshan was very happy entertained. "It's all designed by Mingxiang!" Shanshan went to look into the refrigerator: "The young lady doesn't drink cold drinks, so I'll go get you a cup of tea. Are the slices good?" "You sit down and let's chat. I just drank jujube soup, so I won't drink it anymore." The young lady grabbed her. "Eat grapes, which are high in iron and nourish blood." "Stay true to your true nature as a medical student." The young lady was eating fat black grapes: "Shanshan, hey! You don't blame me for calling you that, do you?" "How about it? Miss, Miss is so unfamiliar!" "Don't call me young lady either..." "Sister-in-law!" "Hey! Shanshan, who's older, you or the fourth girl?" "I'm older, I'm a few months older than her, I'm almost twenty years old, I'm not young!" "If you say that, don't I become an old woman?" "Sister-in-law has a pretty face, I don't like people with round faces," Shanshan said seriously, "Thirty-one flowers for a woman are the best!" "I'm almost forty, it's a residual flower!" "No, thin people look very young." "You are young! Nineteen years old, oh! It's a beautiful time. I saw you for the first time. You are so young and beautiful. Why did you suddenly put on glasses, comb your aunt's bun again, and the clothes and shoes you wore , as if pretending to be old on purpose." "I'm really pretending to be old." Shanshan said honestly: "I saw Uncle Sha for the first time, wearing sportswear. Sportswear is popular now, and I'm greedy for convenience. But Uncle Sha didn't look at my person, but looked at me I wore my track pants a few times. Then I went home and thought about it: I came to serve Uncle Sha, and Uncle Sha went in and out of all high-end places. I would wear sportswear and follow Uncle Sha, which would affect his old man’s face. Besides, I was too young, Uncle Sha took me, and people thought he brought a daughter or even a granddaughter. The special assistant to the president, I was so scared, this kind of work should be done at a mature age. Outsiders thought I was helping Sha in the mall With Uncle's help, who would know that I can't even read the business statement? I always pretend to be in line with my identity. As for the young woman's suit skirt and these old-fashioned mother's high heels on me, Mingxiang is the first to dislike." "I thought, Miss Si told you to dress up like this, does she object?" "Strongly opposed, she said I was old, ugly and rustic. In fact, I bought these clothes in a hurry. How can I find good clothes if I don't choose them carefully? But I really can't wear jeans to work because of work. Sister-in-law, I want to wear a cheongsam, you say OK?" "Just as long as you like it!" The eldest young lady didn't bother to deal with her personal affairs. "I saw my sister-in-law wearing a beautiful and elegant cheongsam, and I thought it would be more pleasing to the eye. Of course, my cheongsam is very ordinary, not as elegant as my sister-in-law's; but a cheongsam is a kind of dress after all, and wearing it You won't lose face to your master when you go to any high-end place, right? Sister-in-law." "A cheongsam is the best for a good figure." Shanshan is wearing a wide-fitting suit, and no one can see her waist: "If you think you have a good figure, wear a cheongsam." "Okay, I can't talk about it, maybe it's not too ugly. I'll show my sister-in-law to wear the cheongsam when it's ready!" "Do you trust my eyesight?" "Sister-in-law has great taste!" Rong Fangzi saw that she couldn't collect any materials, so she got up and said goodbye. Sunday. Shanshan pressed the pulse gate for the Tsar, counted the pulse, and measured the blood pressure. "How? I've been a little tired recently." The Tsar asked. "It's nothing, it's just a little overtired, you'd better get into the habit of taking a nap." "I have to work from Monday to Friday, will napping on Saturday and Sunday alone work?" "Take a longer nap on Saturday and Sunday, and usually take a short nap in the office building to replenish your strength and take a rest." Shanshan packed the medicine box. "In an office building? And there is no nap bed." "The office building is so big, so sleeping is not a problem. You don't need to be too particular about the bed, it's enough to sleep comfortably, and I will handle this matter." Shanshan put the medicine box away, and came back and said to the Tsar: "You must be obedient. , otherwise your physical strength is really exhausted, you will have to lie down and not be able to go to work, the loss will be even greater, and the head office will not be able to suppress it without you." "Well!" The Tsar nodded, "However, you have to listen to me." "I'll do whatever you want me to do." "Everyone needs to rest. They work five and a half days a week, with Saturday afternoons, Sundays full-day rest, and Saturdays and short weeks. It seems that we old people sleep when we rest, and our physical strength is replenished. The spirit is better. What about young people? Looking for shows outside, watching movies, eating, listening to concerts, traveling and barbecue...anything is fine. But what about you? You have been here for almost a month, and you have never gone out, why?" "I want to accompany Uncle Sha and take care of Uncle Sha. I have no reason to leave Uncle Sha and go out for fun." "Five and a half days a week, from morning to night, isn't it enough to take care of you? Don't you feel annoyed by facing an old man all day?" "I'm not bothered!" Shanshan went to close the glass door of the balcony, draw the screens, and draw the curtains: "I am very happy with Uncle Sha!" "I take a nap, and when I do, I sleep for an hour or two. When I wake up, I like to sit on the bed and think. What are you doing during this time? Go take a nap too?" "I don't have the habit of taking a nap." Shanshan covered him with a thin quilt because of the air-conditioning, "I'm full of energy. Except at night, I also want to jump up when I sleep on the bed during the day." "That's like a young man!" The Tsar turned around to make himself sleep more comfortably: "Go out and play! I will call Ah Ju when I wake up." "I don't have a boyfriend, my fiancé... Uncle Sha knows. Mingxiang and I are the best, and she is also the only friend. She went to Canada, who else can I go to see a movie for dinner?" "Find another boyfriend. You are young and beautiful. Are you afraid that no one will like you?" "After the last lesson, I only have fear and hatred for men." Shanshan stroked her nails: "I don't think I will ever fall in love again in this life!" "You didn't do anything wrong. It was Zeng and his parents who were wrong. There is no reason for you to bear their mistakes. Is it okay to not love anyone in your life? Besides, not all men in the world are like your fiancé?" "Not much difference?" Shanshan thought to herself: Zeng Ru, his father, her stepfather, Sha Mingzheng, his younger brother, which one is a good person? "Even I'm a ruthless person?" "You are not! I often tell people that only my biological father and Uncle Sha are good people. Really!" "Silly child, you are wrong in thinking!" The Tsar scolded her: "You will meet a Prince Charming who really loves you!" "No more! All I want to do now is to do my job well and keep Uncle Sha healthy forever." "You are doing a great job, without you taking care of me, I would have collapsed if I had to deal with so much work in one day!" "What's that? Trifles!" Shanshan pulled the quilt a little for him, and patted on the quilt lightly: "Have a good rest! You're already sleepy!" "How do you pass the time?" "I'll look for programs in the house!" Shanshan gently closed the door and went out. The room was quiet, there was no sound at all. The young master accompanied the young mistress to go shopping and entertainment, and Ajin asked for leave because of something at home, so Shanshan went back to her room and turned on the CCTV.The drivers were playing poker, Kao and the cook were playing 15 Hu, a few maids working outside the house were playing mahjong, Yaqiang, Aju, Yaqing, and Yaping were playing "He's hen and He's guessing", with their hands on their hips and feet, He fiddled with his hands again. Others are chatting in three groups and five pairs! When the master rests, they also rest.In fact, there are several times more servants than masters in the house. Four masters come and go, and the master rests. What else can they do? Shanshan thinks it is extravagant and wasteful for several people to use so many servants, but she will not fire anyone.Although she has the right, because she wants to win the favor of the servants. I wrote a letter to Ming Xiang, telling her all the recent things. She walked out of the terrace, sat on the unbroken glass chair, and looked at the fountain with bright eyes. The Feather Fountain cannot see feathers during the day, but only at night.But the water sprayed by the five big fish made of crystal is also very beautiful and spectacular.She was fascinated by the phantom feather fountain. On Saturday, Shanshan just received her first salary. After dinner she sent the Tsar to bed. "Uncle Sha, I want to ask for leave today!" "Okay, okay! I should go to the company and buy some new clothes. Is there enough money?" "That's enough, thank you Uncle Sha, but I'm just going home!" "Go home? That's right! You haven't been home for a long time, has it been a whole month?" "I just took the money back when I went home. My stepfather asked me to pay back three thousand a month. Without money, I couldn't go back even if I was on vacation. I really didn't want to go back." "Hey! Such a stepfather. Shanshan, don't be sad, take the money back to him, and see if he dares to look down on you!" The Tsar also understood what happened to her and was very sympathetic. "Uncle Sha, Lu Yuan, I may come back later tonight..." "You're still on vacation tomorrow, so why not just stay at home for two days." The Tsar said, "Your stepfather didn't treat you well, and your mother always loved you. If you don't go back for a month, she must be very worried. There are clear grievances, don't Hate your mother because of your stepfather, mother is always good." "Okay!" Shanshan nodded, "I'll come back tomorrow to have dinner with you!" "Why do you want to accompany me to dinner?" "Master and the others always have shows during the holidays. If I don't come back, I'll leave you to eat alone. It's so lonely." "You are so stupid, you can't stay with me twelve hours a day." The Tsar sighed softly: "I have been feeling lonely since Mingxiang's mother passed away. Over the years, loneliness has become a habit instead. If I force my daughter-in-law to stay Accompany me, they don’t dare to resist. But I won’t do it, it’s unnecessary, it’s boring. I eat alone and ask them to bring it to the room, and I don’t bother to go to the dining room or restaurant. Don’t talk, you’d better go home! " "I won't go home until you're asleep!" "I don't want to sleep yet, I like to lean on. You are off work at 12:30, and you will not be paid if you stay. Go! Go!" Shanshan went out, and the Tsar couldn't help but sigh with emotion!Both son and daughter-in-law are an eyesore, and my favorite son and daughter are in foreign countries.How would I live without Shanshan? It's okay to be a drowsy person, but you will be lonely when you are awake; but how can you be sleepy all day long? It was Shanshan who saved him and gave him new vitality. He was thinking when someone knocked on the door: "Come in!" Shanshan walked in. "It's you? I thought you were already on your way." "I'll look at the menu, there's tomorrow. You can eat alone, and you don't need to ask for so many plates." Shanshan said, "I have already used the time for Uncle Sha to take his medicine." Give the form to Ah Ju. However, Ah Ju is a bit careless, Uncle Sha, you should be more careful, you must take the medicine!" "You are really! People leave as soon as they slap their butts during the holidays, and you still have to worry about this and that!" "I'm not at Uncle Sha's side, so I'm always worried. I can't trust the servant too much." "I'm not a child, and I'm sober, and I've been given injections, so I'll be fine." The Tsar was still very happy in his heart: "I forgot to tell you just now, this place is remote, you go out, pick the best car, Pick your own driver!" "No need, take the back door here, there is a bus stop not too far away, I have taken the bus before, and I won't get lost!" "The back door is for servants to enter and exit. If you live in the master's luxury suite and go through the back door, the servants will look down on you; besides, your stepfather is snobbish. Tomorrow you invite their family to dinner and let him sit in a Rolls Royce!" The servant came to open the door and saw Yu Shanshan: "Miss, it's you, you..." "Open the door and let me in!" Shanshan felt very impatient. "I can't let you in, sir said..." "That bitch doesn't bring money home, so you can't let her step into someone's house, can you?" Shanshan closed her mouth and breathed out through her nostrils: "I came here to send money, if you don't open the door, I will take the money back .” "Miss, you must be considerate. It's really difficult for us to be servants." "Can the door be opened?" "Go. Miss, please come in!" "Is your husband here?" "Yes! I'm in the second officer's room with my wife." Shanshan turned her head, smiled and said, "A Sen, take the things in for me." "Yes! Miss Yu." "Go pass it on, I'll close the door!" "Understood, miss." The servant was taken aback by Shanshan's demeanor: "Sir, madam, miss is back!" Mr. Yu opened the door quickly: "What are you shouting about? Which lady?" "Our lady!" "Nervous, Lily is sleeping, don't make noise here, Lele can't count." "Sir," the servant lowered his voice, "It's Miss Shanshan!" "What? That bitch, what is she doing back here? Didn't I tell you not to let her in? She comes back to wash and cook, so you don't have to do it!" Mr. Yu stared and raised his nose.Suddenly I saw Shanshan coming in slowly, followed by a man in a driver's uniform, who was holding boxes in both hands. "You..." Mr. Yu pointed at her and stood still. Shanshan ignored him, and said to A Sen: "Put your things down, it's none of your business today, you go back first; but I will use the car tomorrow, so you stay at home and wait, I will call you!" "Yes! Miss Yu!" Asen bowed twice: "Miss Yu, sir, I am leaving!" "Ah! Ah!" Mr. Yu said incoherently, "I'll give you...a cup of tea first!" "Don't dare to take it! Sir, please stop!" Asen opened the door and left. "He's just a driver, not an oil king." "The driver must have a car? What car?" "You don't know how to read it yourself?" "Yes, yes, you can see downstairs from the living room window." Mr. Yu went to the window: "Wow! A luxurious Rolls-Royce shining with gold. Actually, there is no need to ask, the driver's uniform is stylish and stylish. Does it mean that he drives a small car?" "Mom, mom!" Shanshan called. The door opened again, and Mrs. Yu ran out and hugged her daughter: "You're back! You're back! For a whole month, you didn't even call, and I don't know where you are?" "I live in a castle and live like a princess. Mom, I'm lucky!" "Shanshan, that car is new, more than one hundred and two million?" Mr. Yu watched the car go away before sitting down in admiration. "What car?" Mrs. Yu asked while holding her daughter's hand, and the servant also brought drinks. "A new, expensive and luxurious Rolls-Royce, Shanshan came back in it!" Mr. Yu asked again: "How much?" "Six or seven big touring cars and sports cars, how can I remember so many!" "Which family uses six or seven cars? Are there many people?" Mrs. Yu asked. "Including me, there are four masters in total, and there are twenty or thirty servants." "Yes, yes, the driver is very prestigious, how much is the monthly salary? Isn't it quite a lot?" "I can't remember, but the driver's income is much higher than Mr. Yu's." "Of course!" Mr. Yu gave envious eyes: "The Sha family is really so rich! I wonder if they have business in foreign countries?" "I don't know if it's because I have a bad memory, or because the Sha family has too many properties and businesses? I just remember that there is no country that the Sha family does not invest in." Shanshan said to her mother, "Five fingers are enough to count!" "Then, there are countries in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Asia. Isn't it a problem for them to immigrate?" "There are also problems: one likes to go to France, another likes to go to Switzerland, and someone wants to live in the Soviet Union for two or three years. There are only six members in the family, and everyone has different hobbies." "There is also business in the Soviet Union? It's amazing!" Mr. Yu exclaimed: "It's richer than the Zeng family!" "How do you compare? They still have banks, here, in mainland China, and abroad." Shanshan opened her purse and took out the money: "Mom, please return the three thousand yuan to Mr. Yu for me, it's for this month. I will buy you a shirt with this one thousand yuan, this month I am very friendly and entertaining, next month I will give you two thousand." "Keep it for yourself and do things outside. The clothing expenses alone are quite a lot, let alone going to a wealthy family." Mrs. Yu threw 3,000 yuan to her husband: "See if it's enough? My daughter is gone so don't bother me." "What about your daughter, my daughter?" Mr. Yu's fatherly love and kindness came back again: "My daughter wants as much as I give, and I still count? Parents teach filial children, and filial girls like Shanshan are rare!" "Mom, I know you like to eat pork liver. I bought two boxes. Snow fungus and bird's nest. You stewed them for supper at night. You hid this ginseng, it's very nourishing!" "You gave me money to buy so many gifts, I don't want the money anymore!" Mrs. Yu was so moved that she shed tears: "You have to make money at such a young age, how can I bear to use it. You are single and you need more money with you." "Mom, you refused to accept the first time I made money. I'm so embarrassed." Shanshan said, "Don't cry! Are you unhappy when I come back?" "You! What are you crying about? My daughter should be happy when she comes back, she is crying and nagging." Mr. Yu stood up: "Shanshan, you accompany your mother, I will ask the servant to buy vegetables!" "Mom, where are your two precious children?" It's rare that the house is so quiet. "I was supposed to go out for dinner tonight, but Lele had an exam and couldn't count, so she canceled it temporarily; Lily was upset and locked herself in the room." "Does Lily have her own room?" "Your father gave your room to Lele, and the BB room is exclusive to Lily. You stay at home tonight and ask your father to sleep in Lele's room!" "Too annoying! I live in a hotel." "Going home and staying in a hotel? Your father is not good, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as him? Ah! Just come back, your father and I don't count Lele, you come back and teach him to guarantee that he will get 100 points! " "I'm afraid he doesn't want me to teach." Mr. Yu just happened to go back to the living room: "He said I was smelly, dirty and cheap, I'm afraid that if Lele sees me, I won't even eat!" "If you are willing to teach him, he will kowtow." Mr. Yu replied authoritatively: "If he dares to say a word of disrespect to eldest sister, I will beat him to death; and tonight, Lele will return the bedroom to Shanshan .Everything is for fun, sleeping in the eldest sister's room, rude." Shanshan is not what she used to be, and she doesn't respond to her stepfather's deliberate flattery. "Help Lele! If you fail to study, you will have no future." "Mom! No, look at me, it's not that I can't study well, but the boss treats me so well! Look at how beautiful I am!" "Shanshan..." Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter.The pleading look in her mother's eyes softened Shanshan's heart, and she walked into the room. Someone knocked on the door, Shanshan turned on the computer, and Rong Fangzi outside the door appeared on the TV screen.Shanshan turned off the computer, put the clothes on the bed, and walked out, saying, "Who is it?" "Shanshan, it's me!" "Sister-in-law," Shanshan opened the door and called happily, "I'm looking for you, please come in!" "What a coincidence, what's the matter?" "Wait a minute, I keep warming a pot of tea for my sister-in-law in my room at any time." Shanshan poured out a cup of tea and held it up. "Thank you, you are so sweet and thoughtful." "Sister-in-law, I brought back my cheongsam, I just put it on and I'm going to show you." Shanshan turned around in front of her: "How is it? Does it look good?" It was the new type of wide-fitting cheongsam, how would a girl in her twenties look good in this kind of dress?But Rong Fangzi is not interested in caring how beautiful or ugly she is, anyway, this person is naive and doesn't have much to do.But she still said: "It looks good! An eighteen girl is a flower, and she looks good in anything. Shanshan, sit down and let's talk!" Rong Fangzi didn't want her to dangle around.Shanshan sat down obediently. "I've visited you a few times. The staff in the secretary's office said that you go out almost every day. What are you up to?" With the consent of the Tsar, Shanshan went to learn a new type of computer course. The Tsar thought it should be kept secret, so no one inside or outside knew about it. "It's too busy in the afternoon. Uncle Sha asked me to go shopping in the company. There are many department stores under the head office. I bought pins and earrings to match the cheongsam." Playing things down, with no ambitions, Rong Fangzi secretly shook her head.However, she visited today for another purpose. "Shanshan, I heard that there will be a summit meeting next week, right?" Rong Fangzi sipped her tea and pretended not to care. "Yes, I'm so nervous. Materials preparation, investigation report... and other things I don't understand. Sister-in-law, you will naturally know when the meeting next week." "We managers are not qualified to attend summit meetings. We will only attend regular meetings." "Why? You are from the Sha family!" "Master, don't care about this. The summit meeting is the highest-level meeting. Only people at the deputy general manager level can participate." Rong Fangzi asked with a smile: "So nervous, is there anything important to discuss?" "I don't know, I don't understand, and I didn't ask." "But you are the assistant to the president, so you will definitely have a meeting with the master. Shanshan, let me ask you one thing, okay?" "Okay! What I can do must be done for my sister-in-law." "You swore not to tell anyone." "I swear! One good thing about me is that I never tell stories." "What decision is made at the summit meeting, tell me, is it possible?" "Yes!" Shanshan suddenly shook her head again: "What if Uncle Sha orders not to reveal the secret?" "Stupid!" Rong Fangzi said angrily, "Then don't talk about it, I don't care anyway." "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, as long as Uncle Sha doesn't want me to swear, I will definitely notify you!" Shanshan was waiting at the stairs, Rong Fangzi saw her and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" Shanshan suppressed her voice: "Uncle Sha just went to bed not long ago, I have something to tell you!" "Ah!" Rong Fang beamed brightly, "Come to my room, talking is the safest!" "No! I don't want to come to your room." "Why? It's quiet there, and the servants rarely come in and out." "I'm afraid of the young master." Shanshan shook her hand. "Why are you afraid of him? Don't be afraid at all, come on!" "No, no, I don't want to go in. The young master hates me very much. Every time I greet him, he always hums!" "With me here, if he dares to snort again, I'll make him look good!" Rong Fangzi took Shanshan's hand, dragged her up the stairs, and finally reached her bedroom.Sha Ming was sitting in the room, Rong Fangzi said: "Go to the study, I have something to say to Shanshan." "Mrs……" "What are you staring at? Are you going?" Rong Fangzi yelled, and Sha Ming was running out immediately. "Be a bit more aggressive with men so they don't dare to rebel." The eldest young lady opened the refrigerator: "Shanshan, I've prepared your cherry milkshake too!" "Thank you sister-in-law!" Shanshan took the drink contentedly. The eldest and younger mistress squeezed and sat next to her: "We had a meeting today, and it lasted for a long time. What happened?" "We, I mean Sha's department store, have not been doing well. Now ordinary people have low consumption, and there are fewer rich and regular customers. What Uncle Sha is most dissatisfied with is the general manager of the department store. He thinks he is ineffective , not a specialist!" “胡永耀是明正的多年同学，胡家和沙家是世交。胡永耀是念工商管理的，怎不是专门人才？” “沙伯伯不喜欢有什么办法？现在换了总经理——沙国熙！” “沙国熙只不过是明正一个算盘也打不响的表弟，怎会找他？”大少奶面青唇白，很气愤：“要换人也应该换明正。自己儿子才只不过管那些小超级市场，简直不像话，太不给面子。” 沙伯伯说沙国熙干劲十足，肯做，拼了命做。沙伯伯喜欢要工作不要命的人，总之就是人家说的搏杀格！ " “我知道，他就嫌明正懒，不够劲，那死人自己也不好。但是沙皇怎可以完全不念骨肉之情？” “大嫂，我想说句话。”姗姗放下杯子，用纸巾抹抹嘴，怯怯地说。 “说呀！你还有什么告诉我？”大少奶就是要利用她的幼稚套她的话。 “我不敢说，怕大嫂不高兴。” “我发誓不会不高兴，你说。” “其实大嫂比大少爷聪明能干。” “对呀！对呀！生气？这是事实，你有眼光，全世界的人都知道我能干。” “大嫂为什么不管个大部门？做个副总经理也好，这样就可以参加高峰会议，知道许多事情。” “你真天真，你以为我不想做总经理？比如那间百货公司，就应该由我们两夫妇打理。明正不中用，我可是真有材料；而且，明正老管超级市场，我又只不过做个小经理。将来老爷的遗产可能只分我们一、两亿元，我们以后日子怎样过？根本不可能在上流社会立足！” “大嫂你可以争取，据我所知，沙伯伯不满意大少爷，那些高职他是不会派给他；但是沙伯伯认为大嫂是个可以办大事的人，只是你少了干劲！” “他这样对你说？” “除了明湘，沙伯伯不会跟我提第三个人，我是听他和公司那些老巨子说。” “你也说得对，明正不能抓权，我能。我也不是没有劲，只是，还要留些时间守住明正，不能放心去拼命、去搏杀；否则怎轮得到沙国熙？” “大少爷对你又敬又畏，他还能飞到哪里去？而且，大少爷有你这样漂亮、能干的好太太，他还三心二意出外风流，这样的男人不要也罢！” “是呀！对呀！”大少奶真是心坎里受用：“你的话我要告诉明正。唉！我们两夫妻现在沙家，没地位、没面子又没钱，将来老爷一死，就惨了！”大少奶唉声叹气，又捶胸又捶桌子。 “大嫂，你不用太难过。” “我怎能不难过？一大间百货公司，眼看着任人都可以拿走，自己一点办法也没有。”大少奶几乎哭出来：“沙国熙可以参加高峰会议了，我呢？我是沙皇长媳……你说，我还有面目见人？” “一间百货公司，其实也没有什么大不了，如果大嫂肯挨苦，机会多着！” “我能挨、我能挨，我现在知道不能靠明正。我肯拼，我肯搏，但机会没有了，不是白说？” “我不懂事；不过，我认为管一间酒店，比管一间百货公司够威武。” “酒店？”大少奶一愣。 “大嫂，我告诉你，你可不要让别人知，大少爷也不能知道，我只信你一个人！”姗姗好神秘。 “我誓死守秘密，好妹妹，什么事？”大少奶握着她的手：“快告诉我！” “找也是听回来的，不知道是否准确：沙伯伯要收购酒店——一沙海酒店。” “沙海酒店，是沙海两家合资，沙家占百分之四十五，海家占百分之四十，海家老太太占百分之十五，一向由海家主理；而且，老爷也没理由这时候还付现款收购酒店，太冒险！” “假定真有其事，如果你做了酒店总经理，或副总经理，一来可以参加高峰会议；二来酒店内有餐厅、俱乐部、商场……比百货公司权力范围广大，而且也不愁没有社会地位。有钱人喜欢在酒店举行慈善餐舞会、珠宝展览……总之，一定会很威风！” 何止威风，姗姗见识少，幼稚。做酒店刮钱的机会才多呢！实在要比抓住间百货公司好得多，但是，她又叹气：“我又不是酒店管理毕业的，不是这方面的专才。” “马上去学还不迟，函授、校外课程，很方便。如今收购酒店还未成事实，收购了，上任了，你还可以继续迸修到毕业。沙伯伯知道你努力，他会很高兴，说不定机会来了，快去念书吧！” “好！我考虑。时候不早，明天还要上班，回房间去睡吧！我不送你了！” 大少奶可没听姗姗的话去念什么酒店管理，因为她始终不信姗姗，她会那么真诚？又是十三点。拼命、搏命，也要有目标，扔下丈夫去念书，昏头昏脑。丈夫管不住，酒店又落空，那岂不笑死人？ 可是一星期之后，就传出海家一家，会移民去澳洲，并且会在那边大量投资，大少奶一听，又惊又喜。事实俱在，她不能不信任姗姗，她马上去找姗姗。 她首先捧上一大堆东西：“姗姗，我的好妹妹，你不是喜欢耳环、别针？你看看这些好不好？都是法国、意大利设计，唔！这红宝石耳环真不错！” “大嫂，我怎能要你这么多东西，我买的，都是人造石、镀金，我哪儿买得起红宝石？” “你为什么不能要？你能，你是我好妹子，若四姑娘有你万分之一好，我已经把她当宝贝了。姗姗，我已经听你的话，报了名进修酒店业。以后我会好忙，也不可能天天和你谈心。” “大嫂，我看你还是不要再念书……” “为什么？”大少奶三角眼一瞪。 “原因有两个：第一，念书要做功课，就算不用上学堂一样要测验考试交功课。若酒店真的由你打理，你就更忙了，你实实在在没有时间再陪大少爷。每个晚上，是酒店最热闹的时候，星期六、日公众假期，就更不用说了，但少爷若是不甘寂寞……总之就是不好……” “第二呢？妹子！” “沙伯伯的性格你最清楚，他喜欢对工作有热情、干劲十足、肯拼、持重的人。如果大嫂要分心管理大少爷，或大少爷真的在外风流，你照顾得了家就顾不了事业，便什么都完了！” “你说完了吧？”大少奶慢条斯理地回答：“我现在回复你两个问题：第一，正如你说的，明正有我这样的妻子还不满足，在外风流快活，这种男人不稀罕。对！一旦大权在握，我很难有时间陪伴他，分分钟搏杀；可是，他能怪我吗？抓权、搏杀的人应该是他，他无能，我为他打江山，他还敢怪我？想死。第二个问题，你根本不了解女人。女人要吗在家相夫教子，但我结婚已超过十年，小产四次，根本无子可教。女人一旦做大事，比男人更劲、更狠、更搏、更六亲不认。所以我可以在老爷面前发誓不会分心。我也敢担保明正不敢在外面胡来，他要面子，沙家更要面子，若他胆敢在外胡搞，我和他离婚，你满意了吧！” “大嫂，你离婚我怎会满意？千万不要离婚！” “妹子，我是要你明白，我对争取权益的决心。”大少奶揽住姗姗的肩膊：“如今我最担心的，是老爷一向对我有成见，酒店不会让我插手。” “据我所知，沙伯伯公私分明，我不敢说他喜欢你们；但是，他认为大少奶比大少爷的工作能力高。而且，你始终是沙家大媳妇，酒店应该由自己人打理。你又在念酒店管理，既是专才，又有干劲又肯拼又肯搏，他还嫌什么？” “唉！他身边小人多，老臣子过去和我们有仇！” “沙伯伯身边也有我，我也会把大嫂的好处，找机会告诉沙伯伯。” “姗姗！”大少奶高兴得跳起：“你肯帮我，太好，我要送你一份厚礼，我要感激你一辈子！” “不过由明天开始，你要在各方面表现得积极些，多做事，少说话。否则沙伯伯怎会相信你干劲十足又肯拼又肯搏？” “我会，取消回娘家，取消一切娱乐节目。你放心，我一定会做得最好最无懈可击去配合你。” 姗姗抿嘴一笑，咬咬下唇。
