Chapter 2 Chapter two

The two talked until after nine o'clock. He looked at his watch, "Oops, I have an appointment and I'm late." He hurried out, and the two went their separate ways in different cars. Sejeong goes home to pack her luggage. She has never known that there are only a few things outside her body, a small suitcase can already be packed away, a total of several sets of clothes, more than a thousand books, and some daily necessities. Yaci came back, saw it, was speechless, held her hand, reluctantly. "If you don't like it, come back." Shizhen laughed, how to go back this way?

"I hate adjusting to new surroundings." "Don't forget to keep in touch." "I know." Shizhen and Yaci embraced.She paid off her rent arrears. Debt-free and light-weight, the company car is waiting for her downstairs. That night when she moved into her new house, it was completely like another world, spacious and peaceful, everything was ready-made, and she didn't need to worry about it.She called her sister. Yuzhen was getting ready to go to bed at the other end, when she heard the voice of her younger sister, she was a little scared, what could be the matter?She has limited ability, and there is nothing she can do to help, Shizhen's voice is very indifferent because it means trapping her in an unrighteous way.

"Is there something urgent at this late hour?" "I've moved, so I'll give you my new address and phone number." Yuzhen was very surprised, "Okay, I'll write it down." "My place of work is—" "Find a new job?" She was even more surprised. This unprogressive little girl seemed to be reborn overnight. "It's late, let's talk another day." Yuzhen hung up the phone and said to her husband, "Come and see, this is Shizhen's new address." Then Wu Zhaokai took it lazily, glanced at it, and suddenly opened his eyes. "Zhaoyuntai?"

"That's not it." "How can she live in Zhaoyuntai?" The couple were amazed. "Invite her to have a meal on the weekend and ask carefully." Shizhen didn't hear it, and Shizhen fell asleep. She had a very strange dream. I dreamed that the whole building of Zhaoyuntai was full of women living alone, one person dominated a unit, and everyone knew Tong Baojun. In the morning, I still remember this dream. When she went to work, the elevator doors opened and people of different ages and genders came in, so she was relieved. No, not all Tong Baojun's women.

Shizhen was taken aback by this thought, so what about her, what is her identity? The elevator had already reached the downstairs, and the people behind asked her to let her go, and she woke up like a dream. Shizhen worked in the Tong family for three months. She is very diligent, competent, low-key, learns quickly, and knows how to apply and practice. She and Tong Baojun have no further development. One day, when the meeting lasted until late at night, Tong Baojun was extremely tired. He suddenly sighed, rubbed his eyes, and asked Shizhen, "When shall we elope?" Shizhen calmly replied, "Let me check the appointment book." The rest of the colleagues laughed.

Shizhen didn't know what people thought. My sister came to make appointments several times, but she turned them down, not because she couldn't spare the time, but because she felt that there was too much curiosity in the voices of relatives. Other than that, life is pretty good.I seldom go out at night, and I go home after work, enjoying the quietness of living alone, holding a cup of tea, sitting on the terrace for a long time. Her future is still unknown.But at least I know where to go tomorrow morning. That day, she returned to the company and reported to Tong Baojun. When Lao Liu saw her, he immediately stood up, "Miss Wang," he said directly, "Mrs. Tong is inside." Shizhen immediately understood, and took two steps back silently, staggering a little for some reason.

She went back to her room without a word.My heart was a little uneasy, and I finally calmed down. People who are not used to thieves are already frightened when they see others stealing sheep. Then, Lao Liu came in in a hurry and forgot to knock on the door, "Miss Wang, Mrs. Tong will come to your place soon." Shizhen was at a loss, not knowing where to hide, and hurriedly tidied up the messy table. Sooner or later, footsteps were heard, the office door was suddenly pushed open, Tong Baojun poked his head in, "This is our promotion manager." Shizhen held his breath. A lady stopped gently outside the door, greeted politely, and did not intend to come in.

The lady has silver-gray hair, wears a pearl-colored suit and ruby ​​earrings. She is about sixty years old. She is well-maintained, and her expression is not angry but mighty. She is clearly Tong Baojun's mother. She only glanced at the door without much interest, and then went to other departments. Shizhen closed the door, leaned against the wall, and let out a big breath.Ah, she thought it was the young Mrs. Tong. Tong Baojun came over later, stuck out his tongue and gasped for shock, Shizhen couldn't help laughing. "I didn't expect me to be so afraid of my mother." Shizhen replied gently, "It's not fear, it's respect." Tong Baojun sighed, "You're very good." Shizhen will not return to normal until this time.

She noticed that the back of her shirt was wet with sweat.If you don't have a guilty conscience, you are guilty. It's really not that kind of material. Her blue face slowly turned red at this moment, and then, her ears and neck became feverish. Tong Baojun looked at her crystal clear face, and suddenly asked, "Are you still used to work?" "It's okay." "Has the male colleague dated you?" "No." How is it possible, no matter how stupid a fool is, he knows that the boss is interested in her, so he can avoid it even if he said it early. But Tong Baojun knew the reason and asked: "Ah, why are you rejecting people thousands of miles away?" Shizhen didn't beat the snake with the stick coquettishly: "Why don't people know you?"

She just replied honestly, "I've lost interest in the dating game." Tong Baojun just wanted to speak, but Lao Liu said at the door: "The old lady has something to say." He had no choice but to go to wait on her. Shizhen quickly took off her coat, and felt her back cool. So far she does not know whether there is a Mrs. Tong in the world. At this time, a colleague had already put a large stack of documents in front of her, "Shizhen, please take a look." Shizhen had to clean up her mind. Old Liu came in again, "Miss Wang, Mrs. Tong is inviting everyone to dinner tonight." Shizhen was very wronged, "I have an appointment."

Lao Liu smiled, "Tonight is my mother-in-law's 70th birthday." "What should I do?" "The boss is the big one." Shizhen sighed, "You're right." "Seven o'clock, the western restaurant of Senyue Hotel." Beep, there is no time to change clothes. Colleagues are actually very tired, but they all have to force their faces and smile before going to the banquet. As soon as Shizhen arrived, she sat at the back of the long table and drank beer. Tong Baojun called her to the front seat. The last time she was here, she was unemployed and extremely embarrassed. She didn't dare to say much, she just smiled apologetically. The old lady was full of energy and did not feel tired at all. She fought a group of young cadres upside down. After eating a meal for two hours, someone secretly complained about overtime pay. After the banquet was finally over, Tong Baojun and Shizhen were in the same car. He said: "Mother has a good impression of you." There was no answer, and the driver turned his head, thinking that she was hesitating, but no, she was already asleep. She looks cute, like a child, with her head tilted to one side, her plump mouth opened a little bit, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't hold it back, and then fell into a dreamland.Tong Baojun couldn't help laughing. It's good to be young, sleep like this for more than ten minutes, open your eyes, and stay up until dawn. He could do it a few years ago. Today, he always has to find a bed, lie flat, and sleep for at least seven or eight hours before he can call it a rest. Its heyday is over. He wanted to kiss those soft lips, he had no other intentions at that moment, just like some adults couldn't help hugging and kissing lively and lovely children.But as soon as the car stopped, Shizhen woke up immediately. "Ah, here we are," she said. Before she opened the car door, Tong Baojun said, "Next week, you and Wang Zien will accompany me to New Jersey." "That contract hasn't been negotiated yet?" "They sent people here last year, so it's a good time for us to go this year." "Goodbye." Shizhen pushed the car door and waved to him. She yawned and looked up.The night sky in the city is always cloudy gray, with the orange-red reflection of neon lights in the distance.She longed to see the blue velvet sky, watching the brilliant stars covering the sky. It can be seen that the predecessors are right, life is often unsatisfactory. Shizhen fell asleep on the bed without even taking off her makeup.At work the next day, she ran into Wang Zien from the sales department in the elevator. He casually said, "Zi En, you have a ready-made US tourist visa." Wang Zien was startled, "Who is going to the US?" Shizhen changed the subject immediately and sharply: "Have you been to the Grand Canyon?" Prince En smiled, "When you arrive in Navada, naturally you only have time to go to the casino." He made a mistake as soon as he opened his mouth.Tong Baojun must have not announced yet. Last night when he sent her home, many people must have seen her. She had better keep her mouth shut and say nothing. Shizhen suddenly felt lonely. She used to go to work, mingle with colleagues, quarrel, laugh and complain, and berate the boss.She smiled at Wang Zien apologetically. As soon as he sat down, Old Liu came in and said, "Miss Wang, the old lady and Mr. Tong left for New Jersey this morning." Shizhen was startled again, "Is there something urgent?" Old Liu didn't answer. It's secret again, and it's almost impossible to ask anything.Shizhen had no choice but to remain silent. Old Liu said: "Miss Wang, here is your plane ticket, please leave tomorrow." Shizhen's eyes widened, she thought the trip had been cancelled. "Will Wang Zien go with me?" Lao Liu hesitated for a moment, "I don't know about other people." He went out. This is what it means to be involuntary in the rivers and lakes, and you have to go on the road tomorrow. Shizhen rushes to work on the desk.That afternoon, the company had a rare visitor. Shizhen went to the reception to take a look, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak, "Sister, why are you here?" Yuzhen smiled and held the baby in her arms, "We are getting vaccinations at the nearby medical clinic, so stop by and have a look "The toddler slept very smoothly, Shizhen smiled, "He is much bigger." She invited her sister to the reception room for a cup of tea. Yuzhen looked at her office and was amazed, "It's time for you to get off work. I haven't been to your house yet, why don't we go together." Shizhen said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow morning, and I'm going to leave work late today." Yuzhen But he said: "It's better to go home and have a rest first, and then come back to catch up all night." I thought about it for her. Shizhen could only smile, "Okay, let's go together." "Call a car first." "No, I have a driver." Yuzhen, who was holding the child, couldn't help but envy. It turns out that there are many outlets for young women.It takes fifteen minutes by car to arrive at Shizhen's new home. The baby was still sleeping, Shizhen gently put him on the bed. Yuzhen looked around three times, "The furniture in the living room hasn't been set yet?" "There is no time, and there are no guests, so we are delayed." Yuzhen stood on the terrace to watch the scenery, "It can take a long time to stand here." Shizhen smiled apologetically. The child woke up, Shizhen hurried to find boiling water to make your powder. I heard my sister say: "We will go to school in the future, and report the address of Auntie. What a good school near Auntie's house." Shizhen felt a little sad, and she would definitely help if she could. The ups and downs of fortune are great, and my sister is too happy too early. "You are free to come and eat." "I know." My sister's tone was much gentler and more cordial than earlier. "I'll ask the driver to take you home." "Sometimes we see a doctor and ask you to borrow a driver. I don't know how convenient it is." "Just call me." After her sister left, Shizhen packed her luggage, and took the luggage to the company to drive the night train. In the elevator, I met Wang Zien again. He smiled at Shizhen, "Going to America tomorrow morning?" The news has already spread. The helplessness on Shizhen's face was real, "The servant is doing things." Wang Zien said with a smile, "I plan to resign next month." Shizhen was surprised, "Is there another high job?" "Yes." "Congratulations." No wonder he was willing to strike up a conversation with her. "Zi En," Shizhen plucked up his courage, "What do you think of me?" Wang Zien was startled, then smiled and said: "Smart, straightforward, and willing to help others." "Thank you." "However, you must seize the opportunity and don't miss the opportunity." Shizhen was really excited, "Yes." "Excuse me for talking." "No, Zi'en, you have good intentions." He smiled and left work. Shizhen stayed in the office until dawn, finished all business affairs, and went straight to the airport with her luggage. In the early morning, one person sat in the waiting room drinking black coffee, and there were three or two single people in the distance. The environment was extremely desolate. A young man was walking towards her, Shizhen raised her head and saw that there were always people coming to strike up a conversation, she was relieved. It would be miserable if no one noticed. But the man said: "Miss, please help me fill out this form..." He didn't quite understand a few items, and it was clearly the first time he went out. chat. Time is up. The clear air always feels lonely. As soon as she got on the plane and found a seat, she fell asleep with her head covered. This was actually her first time traveling far away, Shizhen deliberately pretended to be an expert, calmly and calmly dealt with it. When she arrived at the destination, she didn't have much delay when she passed the customs, so she called a taxi to go to the hotel. The room was booked early in the morning, so she didn't need to worry about it. Tong Baojun lived in the same hotel, and she immediately reported to him that she had arrived. He was not in the room, she left a message. It was dinner time, and she went to a nearby shop to buy sandwiches. Surrounded by foreigners, it was only then that she really knew that she was in a foreign country. When she was a child, she had always looked forward to studying in Europe and the United States. She smiled slightly, and it would be good to take advantage of this business trip to broaden her horizons. back to the room.The phone is ringing, Se-jung jumps over to pick up the receiver.It really was Tong Baojun. "I'm at 1103, why don't you come over to help?" Of course, she is the clerk and he is the boss, but you can always ask if the trip is pleasant. Tong Baojun was negotiating the contract with the lawyer in the living room of the suite. When he saw Shizhen, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Talk about the details, I want to follow up the basketball game." Shizhen didn't know whether it was luck or helplessness. She looked at the contract with golden eyes. "Our plan is so... but we can make concessions to..." Tong Baojun turned the sound of the big TV in the room, making it very loud. Shizhen went to close the door gently and saw him drinking beer. The representative of the other party asked: "Your boss has always behaved like this?" Shizhen replied: "No, only when he thinks the contract is too silly." The other party was speechless.It is necessary to have a middleman to do this pickling. In the end, Lian Shizhen was furious and scolded: "We have been working together for fifteen years, why are you hesitating at this time, what are the difficulties, let's just talk about it, Tong will not be unable to bear the blow, don't waste time, okay?" . " The opposing lawyer immediately withdrew the contract without saying a word. "We'll get back to you early next week," the representative said, and the two opened the door and left. Shizhen ran to the door and kicked it.There was laughter behind me. Could it be Tong Baojun, who has already turned off the TV. He sighed, "Doing small business is the most humiliating." "Not every time." "Nine out of ten times is enough?" "Not so much." "Hey, it's the most optimistic idea." He fell on the sofa and opened another can of beer. Handsome men are often more attractive in casual clothes. He looked at Shizhen and smiled, as if he had forgotten all the unpleasant things just now. He said: "Tell me, was the journey pleasant?" "It's okay to be hard, but there is no contract to take back..." "Don't worry about this kind of thing." He waved his hand.Shizhen let out a breath. "The family entrusted me with this business, and I couldn't ignore it. It's so annoying, I wish I could just leave." "Where are you going?" Shizhen asked gently. "Go to an island like Bora Bora, build a villa on the mountain, look at the sea, drink fruit wine every day, sleep drunk, and just wake up to watch Eryang." Shizhen couldn't help but feel refreshed, "Then It’s not in vain.” Tong Baojun sighed, “Only when my mother returns to Yaochi can I hope to practice it.” Shizhen laughed in shock, is he cursing his mother? "Come on, Shizhen, sit closer." Shizhen sat beside him. "My mother has been traumatized all her life, so I had to make concessions." "This is called filial piety." "Shizhen, I like to hear you talk." He held its hand, and she thought he would kiss her, but he was tired and suddenly Let go, turned around, and fell asleep.Shizhen let out a laugh. It is too naive to expect them to be exhausted and romantic. Shizhen went back to her room to rest.At midnight, he woke up and chatted with her. "Tong's business has not been ideal in the past two years. It is not impossible to rectify it, but my heart is not here. Someone is willing to cut off an arm for the sake of fame and fortune. That is not me." Shizhen sighed, "You still complain, As for me, I am always glad that I have a healthy body." "Shizhen, you are really cute." Shizhen rubbed his hands, "At least come to this world for a while, let's go through it, it's eccentric, so you can enjoy it." Tong Baojun smiled. Shizhen finally took this opportunity to ask: "Why did you hire me?" Tong Baojun was taken aback, greatly surprised. "You mean you don't know?" Shizhen stared at him in a daze. He said calmly: "I fell in love with you at first sight." Shizhen opened her mouth wide, "Then why do you have to work twelve hours a day?" Are you sure it's not one thing for two purposes?" "No, I won't make the one I love suffer." Shizhen let out a sigh of relief. "We'll announce our engagement when we get back." "I didn't agree." Shizhen protested. Tong Baojun was surprised, "When you signed the employee contract, you didn't read the fine print. The last line said: After one year of the contract, Party B will automatically become Party A's slave. There must be no second thoughts." Shizhen smiled. Her thoughts at this moment are very practical, she is thinking: sister's wish can be realized, in the future, when children are studying, they will definitely be able to report the address of Yuntai.She was destined to have this savior. The next morning, she went to knock on the door of his room and asked him to go out for sightseeing. When the door opened, she was startled. She hurriedly called: "Mrs. Tong." She was indeed an old lady, with bright eyes on both days, well-dressed and well-timed clothes, and her tone was cold and polite, "It's Ms. Wang, right?" She had a very good memory.Why is she here? I only heard the old lady say: "I'm waiting for him too." Shizhen was obedient. "I'm not afraid you will laugh at me, my home is in New Jersey, and he wants to stay in a hotel." This is the first time Shizhen has heard of all this.She pretended to know all about it. The old lady turned her head suddenly, "Miss Wang, come, please go to the house." Shizhen was in a dilemma, she didn't want to go, but she had to. The old lady had already taken her coat, Shizhen quickly helped her put it on, she took Shizhen's arm and walked out of the room. "Miss Wang, tell me a few jokes." Shizhen groaned secretly, how could she tell jokes, and there was nothing ridiculous in the world.She had to apologize. It's ridiculous to say that the Tong family's mansion is not far from the hotel. Shizhen knew that this area was called Rose Valley, but he really didn't expect Tong Baojun to live in the hotel. The relationship between mother and child must not be the best. The house has a private road, deep in the shade, Shizhen saw a dove gray three-story mansion, the car stopped, and a servant came to open the door. Shizhen thought, let's take a look at the interior furnishings, some big houses are only a shell left, and the interior is dilapidated. As soon as she stepped into the door, she knew that she had underestimated the Tong family. The house was completely renovated, and the furniture was elegant and novel, which showed its strength. Mrs. Tong said, "Please sit down." Shizhen tried to relax as much as possible. "After drinking tea, I'll show you around the house." Mrs. Tong's words sounded like an order, and Shizhen was not surprised. There are indeed many capable mothers in the world. Because of their great contributions to the family, they were respected and gradually became authoritative. At this moment, the servant came over and said, "Ma'am, the Chinese painting teacher is here." Mrs. Tong hesitated, "Tell her to wait." Shizhen quickly said: "Tell the teacher to wait, it's not good, I will read the magazine by myself." Alright." Mrs. Tong was delighted to see that Shizhen was sensible, "Then, I'll be back in fifteen minutes." As soon as she walked away, the reception room suddenly fell silent. . Why is Tong Baojun unwilling to live in such a good place? Perhaps, it is too quiet, and it will be almost the same after 30 years of settlement. Learn traditional Chinese painting on Mondays and Wednesdays, practice basketball on fourths and fifths, swim in the morning, play cards in the afternoon, and meet friends in the city on weekends. Of course, you have to deal with financial problems, but don't worry too much. It is best to spend your old age in such a prosperous and peaceful way. She slipped out of the reception room and came to the garden, and found an octagonal pavilion behind the rose trellis. She walked there and saw another bungalow behind the pavilion.A dachshund stepped out gently and looked at her kindly. Shizhen smiled at it, "Okay, what's your name?" A voice came from the bungalow: "Hot dog, don't harass the guests." Shizhen laughed out loud, what a strange name. The bungalow door was ajar, and the hot dog went back into the house gently. Shizhen didn't know who that person was, and was about to leave when he suddenly asked, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Shizhen stretched out her hand and gently pushed the door open.She saw green onions planted on the side of the bungalow, a large sofa bed in the distance, and a large writing desk nearby, and she knew at a glance that an artist lived here. Shizhen was both surprised and delighted, she said: "I am Wang Shizhen, who are you, are you also a guest?" There was a tall wooden carved screen beside the big bed, and the man came out from behind the screen, " My name is Tong Shihui." Since my surname is Tong, I'm not a guest. Shizhen raised her head and saw his face, she couldn't help but startled. He had long hair, brown skin, wearing only an undershirt, with holes in his trousers, and holding a paintbrush in his hand. The man was as surprised as she was, "Whose friend are you?" Shizhen looked into his bright and unruly eyes, he looked so much like Tong Baojun, but was younger than him, so he knew they were brothers without asking. Shizhen replied: "Tong Baojun is my boss." He didn't believe it, "You are his girlfriend?" Shizhen just smiled and said nothing. He opened a canvas chair, "Please sit down." He poured a cup of mint tea for her, Shizhen felt refreshed when he smelled it. At this time, a white parrot flew to his shoulder and stopped gently. Shizhen is like entering the world of fairy tales, with infinite surprises. The parrot opened its mouth and said: "Welcome, welcome." Shaking its feather crown, it flew out of the window after a while. "Come, eat some fruit." Tong Shihui's smile was as dazzling as the sun. They all have charms, but he showed the most vividly. "Are you a painter?" "No, I'm nothing, I just like to draw." "Let me see." He smiled, "It's all a shameful exercise." "I'm sure they are all good paintings." He smiled, showing his white and straight teeth. Shizhen gradually felt that she was too happy, and couldn't help becoming suspicious, "This tea..." "There is a little mint wine." At this moment, the servant was outside the bungalow: "Is Miss Wang in?" Shizhen quickly put down the glass, "Is Mrs. Tong looking for me?" Tong Shihui was disappointed, "Are you leaving so soon?" Shizhen reluctantly said, "See you next time." He sent her to the door.Shizhen saw Tong Baojun standing in front of the long window waiting for her from a long distance, with a gloomy expression on his face. Shizhen didn't know what she did wrong, she didn't want to see this expression, she bowed her head silently. "Why are you here?" he blamed her. She argued in a low voice: "Mrs. Tong invited me." "You should have informed me." Shizhen wanted to explain, but then he sighed and remained silent, because he was angry. It's useless to talk too much, one sentence per person will only add to the gas. "Now you come with me immediately." "I have to say goodbye to Mrs. Tong." "No need." "It doesn't seem quite right." "I'm right." He pulled her up and left. Shizhen didn't want to argue with him, so she had to follow him. He was driving a cabriolet, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and then it started to rain, and both of their faces were wet. In fact, the soft hood could be raised by pressing a button, but Tong Baojun didn't do that. Shizhen couldn't help it, and said softly, "Mrs. Tong invited me to the big house with good intentions." Tong Baojun parked the car on the small road, and said in a sad tone, "You are wrong." Shizhen laughed, "She will never Kill me." Tong Baojun calmed down his anger at this moment, "I'm sorry Shizhen, I shouldn't have yelled at you." Shizhen teased: "Otherwise, what's the use of the subordinates." "My subordinates have always been very polite." Shizhen couldn't help saying: "You are too serious, you are very different from your younger brother." Tong Baojun was startled, his face suddenly changed, "You saw him?" Shizhen was dissatisfied with his overreaction several times, "Yes, I have seen Tong Shihui." "You went up to the attic without authorization?" "No, he lives in the garden bungalow." He was ashen-faced, silent, unusually disturbed.It was raining fast. Shizhen pressed the button without authorization, and the hood slowly rose. She asked softly, "How long has it been since you came home, and you don't even know where your brother lives." He didn't answer, and his lips were tightly closed, as if he was afraid that he would say something that would never be undone. The young Shizhen didn't know how to comfort him, she was inexperienced, and thought it was a woman's right to temper her temper, and it was right for her boyfriend to coax him.The atmosphere in the small compartment was awkward. Tong Baojun turned on the recorder, but it happened to be a violin solo. Shizhen didn't understand classical music, and the more he listened to it, the more annoying he became. Yes, the music sounded sad, but that was someone else's story and had nothing to do with her. After finally getting to the hotel, Shizhen gently confessed "I'm going to rest" and got out of the car. How could she really stay in the room, she read the newspaper yesterday and knew that there was a flower market nearby, so she changed her clothes and went out for sightseeing. When I arrived at the destination, I found out that it was a garden exhibition. The more I walked, the happier I was. I ate his concubine apples, bought ice cream, and sat down to enjoy a hot dog.Then study with the flower stall owner how to plant cacti and roses. She returned to the hotel with two plates of crabapple. When the receptionist saw her, he said, "Miss Wang, Mr. Tong is looking for you urgently." After all, she was on a business trip, so she couldn't neglect her duty, so she called her immediately. Tong Baojun said: "They changed their minds." Shizhen immediately knew that the business had turned around. "I'll come right up." The margins were so low that success wasn't something to celebrate.But I finally received the order and gave the company an explanation. Of course, being an artist is aloof, not caring about world affairs, working behind closed doors, and only being responsible to oneself. In contrast, a businessman is really salty.The lives of the two brothers were polar opposites. If the property is divided equally in the future, it may be a bit unfair.Shizhen's face softened. Tong Baojun opened the door and said, "The representative will be there soon." Shizhen nodded. He was drinking, and it seemed that both brothers enjoyed a drink. The two of them didn't speak, Shizhen stood at the window and went to the street to watch, the rain had stopped. The representative of the other party arrived on time. Shizhen read the contract and handed it to Tong Baojun for signature. "I'll drop by New York for a while." "Maybe I won't be able to spare time," he suddenly saw the look of hope on Shizhen's face, he hesitated a little, "However, it might not be a problem to go for half a day." The waiter brought champagne in, everyone clinked glasses and drank it up before the other party left. "Happy cooperation." There were only two of them in the room. "Have you ever been to New York?" "I went there once a year ago with a tour group. I stayed for a day to see the flowers, and I didn't have time to do anything." "We're going tonight." Shizhen asked with a smile: "What will people say?" "They'll say: These two have finally lived up to their lives." Shizhen smiled, "It's rare for you to be free." "I'm the yoke of the family." "A man should take care of his family." He was in good spirits, "Let's go pack our luggage." Someone knocked on the door, and he went to see that it was a servant at home. "Madam said, tomorrow morning—" Tong Baojun interrupted him, "we will go to the airport later." The servant quickly said yes. Shizhen hurriedly took out the white crabapple flowers she bought just now, "Please give it to Mrs. Tong for me." The servant thanked and left. Tong Baojun looked at her, "Shizhen, there are many things you don't understand." Shizhen smiled, "If you don't tell me, how would I know." He sighed deeply. "You are at odds with your brother, you don't like him, but like this?" He suddenly smiled, "I hope it's that simple." Shizhen raised her head, "I don't want to say it, don't say it." Tong Baojun smiled, "Huang En Hao Dang." Their brothers all have smiles that people will never tire of. He doesn't like his younger brother because Young Master Shihui doesn't care about worldly affairs and only spends money, and the old lady seems to be very partial to helping the youngest son. After the luggage was loaded into the car, Tong Baojun said, "Now, there are two ways to go." "Let's hear it." "Either go sightseeing in New York, or get married in Las Vegas." Shizhen laughed , "Can I go home?" They finally went to New York. Tong Baojun wanted to make Shizhen happy, and with his manpower and material resources, he could do it easily. They lived in the best hotel.He rented a helicopter for sightseeing, watched an opera, visited a jewelry store, and he even took her to the red light district to hunt for novelties. Shizhen smiled and said, "I seem to think you are pursuing me." Tong Baojun was surprised, "Is there such a thing? I have always won over capable people like this. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lao Liu." That day and night were very fulfilling. Shizhen said happily: "Ah, an unforgettable holiday." Tong Baojun stared at her, "In the future, something more important will happen that will be unforgettable to your heart. At that time, this insignificant holiday will naturally be forgotten." Shizhen looked over, "Am I such a greedy and ungrateful person?" They go back together. Since then, Shizhen's status has changed a lot. Tong's colleagues are very reserved, and they don't show it on the surface, but they know that if the boss walks away, or if they are busy, they will say in unanimous agreement: "Go ask Shizhen." ", she is very popular, she doesn't care about nonsense, she doesn't talk about right and wrong, and everyone is very grateful. Sometimes, seeing her staying up late at night, they also feel that the boss's girlfriend is not easy to do. She finally bought the furniture for the living room and specially invited her sister and brother-in-law to have tea. Yuzhen and his wife whispered to each other. "It seems that the relationship is solid." "It's better to be officially married, just to be friends, and sometimes we will separate after seven or eight years." "Finally enjoyed the blessing." Yu Zhen's tone was still bright. "Shizhen's head and face jewelry are all different." The style and color are generally simple, but it looks like an indescribably expensive iron-on sticker, a few simple jewelry, first-class workmanship, presumably it is also a gift from her boyfriend.Old friend Yaci would never let her go, teasingly said: "Finally wearing gold and silver." Shizhen was annoyed, "You are not afraid that I will break up with you." "Hey, you can have as many friends as you want." Shizhen was furious, "What do you think of me? I'm unemployed at home, owe rent for three months, I don't cover my clothes, and I'm about to fall into the ditch, suddenly there is a handsome, A rich, single man is willing to give me a hand, you mean, tell me to reject him?" Yaci said nothing. "Will you reject him?" Yaci replied, "I am more capable than you, and I will not fall into a desperate situation." Shizhen sighed, "I will never see you again." "Sure enough, sharing adversity is easy, sharing wealth is difficult." "Jealous." "Yes," Yaci nodded, "I can't see how you are." Shizhen was helpless. "Look, with average appearance and about the same age, why don't I have the same fate as you?" "Because you don't care." "What?" Yaci opened his eyes wide. "It's true," Shizhen continued: "You subconsciously don't care, your energy is not concentrated enough, of course there is no adventure." Ya Ci was silent for a while, then replied: "You are right, I don't like financial favors involved in the relationship between men and women." "That's just because your parents love you, and your life is worry-free." Yaci comforted her, "It's okay." Shizhen also satirized her: "In the future, if your fiancé gives you an engagement ring, you will refuse it?" Ya Ci said: "There is a very popular foreign female star who is very unconventional. She tattooed her new husband's name on her ring finger as a wedding ring. And told the reporter: "I can buy diamonds myself. ""Beep. " "Shizhen, this kind of thing is very cheap, and the wealth and frugality are left to others, so why ask others to give it to you?" "Your family education is first-class, and your temperament is noble, no one can match." "Fuck you." Shizhen sighed, "I most hope to get something for nothing." "It's natural to feel different when someone loves you and takes care of you." "You understand and will forgive me?" Shizhen was overjoyed. "Hey," Yaci's tone turned gentle, "Why do you need my approval, and I can't help you, you are like drinking ice water in winter, knowing whether it's warm or not." Shizhen shed tears. "Who doesn't want to marry well and live comfortably in life." "Whoever marries me, whom I marry, there is not a single stroke in ten strokes." Yaci smiled, "Hold him, show your cards, and if necessary, threaten him with pregnancy." Shizhen kept silent, and it was impossible for Hu Yaci to treat her like before. A man gains some and always loses some. The next day, after the meeting, Tong Baojun smiled and said to Shizhen: "Miss Yin from Shimao's red coat is so pretty, what brand is it?" Shizhen smiled, "It's clearly written on the gold button." Tong Baojun said: "You must look good in it, why don't you try it on." Shizhen was startled, "It's an extremely expensive dress, there's no need for it." "People rely on clothing and makeup. You represent the company. Don't be rude. I ordered the public relations team to open an account for you in the store." Shizhen shook her hand wildly, "No, no, if you get used to it, you won't be able to take it off." Tong Baojun looked at her, "Then just wear it for the rest of your life." Shizhen explained: "A lifetime is a very long time, and there may be some changes," he said immediately, "Miss Yin's answers are fluent. I really admire her and would like to learn from her." Tong Baojun smiled and remained silent. After a long time, Shizhen said: "The clothes of that brand are old-fashioned, and they look like they are thirty years old." Tong Baojun quickly said yes. He didn't know that Shizhen and Yaci had been to that famous restaurant, and it was not as ordinary people imagined. The waiters were very polite and didn't look down on anyone. They first greeted them in Japanese and then spoke Cantonese. On the other hand, the guests who were already there at the beginning looked down on the two of them slantingly, as if to say: Where did the chick come from, thinking that it would fly to the branches and be worthy of wearing a fancy dress, it is clear that there is no way to see the light. The two of them looked at each other for a while, then opened the door and went out. At that time, Shizhen asked Ya Ci: "Did you swear that one day your entire wardrobe will be of this brand including underwear?" Ya Ci replied in surprise, "Which country is this vow? What kind of ambition is this?" Shizhen knows that Yaci has always had a good influence on her. "But some people look down on us." "Hey, I haven't had time to see if he thinks or looks down on me." Shizhen yearns for Yaci's boldness.Yu Zhen didn't appreciate it very much. She advised her younger sister: "Some girls are simple and straightforward. Once they have a boyfriend, they are busy pulling out their sisters to introduce them to each other. You must not do that. You know people and face, but you don't know the heart. Many people's boyfriends go to the arms of friends like this. "Shizhen turned pale with shock, "No way." Yuzhen sneered, "Why do you have to try your own way?" Shizhen was silent. She respected her sister's opinion, and she never formally introduced Hu Yaci to Tong Baojun from the beginning to the end. Besides, she was getting more and more busy, and she couldn't find time to meet with Yaci regularly. Shizhen became the new force of the Tong family, and she sighed that she was worthless. According to the saying, it is just a vase, beautiful enough, why bother to work hard. However, learning to make a living is a personal skill that may come in handy in the future. Although it is pitiful to have to use this kind of ability one day, at least there is no need to wait for death. Two days later, walking through the mall, someone suddenly called her. "Miss Wang, this side, please." Shizhen turned her head away, saw that it was Mrs. Tong's driver, and stood still with a smile. "Mrs. Tong is having tea at the American clubhouse, please come up." Such a coincidence?可是世贞知道童太太神通广大。 她想到童保俊的叮嘱，多少有点迟疑。 司机却补了一句："太太很想与你谈谈。"也罢，一位小老太太，能够怎么样，到这个时候才推搪，是没有礼貌，公司有事走不开？可是那还是她的公司呢。 她随司机上楼，只见童太太与几位朋友坐在一起，看见世贞，都和蔼她笑着打招呼，当她犹如童太太的女儿一般，世贞觉得十分温馨。 在这之前，她接触的目光都是冷淡的⌒你是谁，想怎么样、狐疑的⌒你大抵是掘金娘子吧、轻蔑的⌒想飞上枝头想疯了，以及防范的⌒别在我附近撒野，从来没见过如此没有机心的热情。 童太太介绍："我谊女世贞。"怪不得，有了这个身份，即是有了靠山、保人，谁还会小觑她。世贞心中暗暗叹息一声，静静坐下。 只见太太们身边大包小包，分明是逛公司购物来，可是一时又来不及把它们都交给司机，故此都堆在座位旁。 世贞知道言多必失，故一言不发，只是微笑。 幸亏诸位太太不到十多分钟便告辞一起回家组牌局去了。 侍者前来收拾桌子，只余世贞与童太太聊天。 她说："我若喜欢打牌又还好些。"世贞小心回答："的确是消遣时间的好游戏。""她们都劝我学。" "啊。""我却一坐下来就觉得心烦意乱，与她们刚相反，她们说一摸到牌便心平气和，百病消散。"世贞忍着笑，那多好，一帖药。 童太太长长叹一口气，喝尽了杯中的茶。 世贞连忙帮她斟满，童太太喝的是薄荷荼，世贞注意到她只加小小一匙蜜糖。 "世贞，你真细心，我若有个女儿，又还好些。"世贞笑笑，许多人都这样说她，这是她天赋本钱。"你一定觉得我偏心吧。"世贞哪敢发表意见，只是唯唯诺诺。 童太太喜欢幼子，人人都看得出来。 谁知她叹口气，"看，我把整副家当都交给保俊，式辉一无所有。"世贞满心讶异，不由得睁大眼睛。 童太太声音无奈怅悯，"保俊什么都有，又懂得争取，光是找到你这样善解人意的助手，已叫式辉羡慕。"世贞连忙说："不敢当。" "式辉差远了。"世贞忽然大胆地说："他们兄弟俩有不一样的世界。"这样模棱两可的一句话，童太太听了却十分高兴，"世贞，你说得真好。"世贞暗中看着手表。 童太太问："急急要回公司？"世贞颔首。 童太太叹口气，"真会有你这样一心一意的伙计。"世贞赔笑，"我也常常开小差。" "今天晚上，出来吃顿饭吧。"世贞答："今晚公司有应酬。" "我这比较重要。"世贞踌躇。"你怕保俊？"世贞只得笑。 "这人恃宠生骄，连我都有点怕他噜嗦，你放心，我会同他说，今晚一定放人，我七时派车来接你。" "那好吧。"童太太摆摆手，"你先回去。"司机前来取起那十来只大袋，跟着她下楼。"这些是什么？"世贞奇问。 童太太笑，"都是送你的见面礼。""这怎么好意思？" "时间到了，你该回公司啦。"世贞只得讪讪离去。
