Fang Xiao didn't know the power of a well-matched family, and didn't believe in the old saying "Marry a girl from a high family, marry a woman from a low family".
Only then did he suffer humiliation and become a clown in life.
There are also some people who, although they know these truths and believe in them, they cannot resist the instinct of yearning for beauty in their nature.
Even though I was feeling anxious and knew that I was probably doing useless work, I still couldn't help but act like a pig's nose sticking a green onion into the flames.
On this snowy day, Xiao Tao reunited with a girl named Sang Jing.
The coincidental scene happened at almost five o'clock that afternoon.
On this day, Xiao Tao originally came to the "126 Taiwan" sales department in Xidan with tens of thousands of dollars in accordance with Ning Weimin's instructions. In order to facilitate contact, he helped himself, Luo Guangliang, Yin Yue, Sun Wufu, and Gu Si
Several people bought "Beeper".
This thing is also commonly known as a pager.
Unexpectedly, even the operators were not familiar with this new thing. It took several hours to complete the procedures such as selecting a number, entering the station, and paying bills.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps out of the sales department door, Xiao Tao was stopped by a girl who passed him on the street.
"Tao Zhen! Hey... you... you are... Tao Zhen, right?"
To be honest, no one has ever called Xiao Tao that way.
Ever since he dropped out of school and wandered around in society, except from the police, he had never heard anyone call his nickname that way.
Whether it is family members, neighbors, or friends in society.
Basically, they call him either "Xiao Tao", "Tao Zi", or "Brother Tao".
In addition, this girl was well dressed, wearing a cashmere hat, a white mask, and a large military coat, so it was impossible to tell what she looked like.
So when Xiao Tao turned his head, he immediately opened his mouth and was stunned. He couldn't recognize who this girl called him was, and his brain almost shut down.
Fortunately, the girl was very smart and quickly noticed his dumbfounded embarrassment, so he took the initiative to take off his mask and hat.
This time, the beautiful face revealed almost dazzled Xiao Tao's eyes.
That girl is really pretty, with her long hair showing off, just like a movie star.
She stood in the snow with a smile, her thin lips like the last red light of the setting sun on the horizon.
Her expression was still a little awkward, and she seemed a little unsure and shy.
Moreover, this smile was once very familiar to Xiao Tao.
In an instant, he successfully overlapped the face of a female classmate who had been supervising him from elementary school to middle school, and the face of the girl in front of him.
A long time ago, he didn't know how many times he had relived this smile in his dreams, and how many times it had caused him to curse and despise himself.
Once it appears at this time, it seems that it can overturn everything and verify everything.
He only felt that the sky and the earth were rising like an illusion, and everything was frozen into ice. Only this bright smile was real.
The streets, the crowds, and the snow on the treetops above and below were all out of his sight.
"Sang Jing! Are you Sang Jing?"
He quickly called out the name, and then called out the person's previous title.
"Oh, monitor, why is it you?"
A smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face.
"Okay, I thought you hated me and pretended not to know me."
And Xiao Tao was completely convinced that he really did not admit his mistake.
The person in front of him was his class president from elementary school to middle school, the proud daughter of the class.
He still remembered that Sang Jing's father seemed to be the director of some bureau. Among the parents of his classmates, he was already considered a very high-ranking official.
Of course, it is precisely because Sang Jing has always been favored by teachers and regarded as an outstanding student that she still holds power.
There will inevitably be serious conflicts with underachievers like him.
For example, when checking personal hygiene, his dark fingernails, unclean ears, and neck that are always like an axle are the primary targets for strict attention.
For example, if you are late or leave early, you talk in class, or you get into a fight after class, they will dutifully record it and report it to the teacher.
Especially the later implementation of one-on-one gang and one-on-one red.
Sang Jing also took the initiative to sit at the same table with him, and the conflicts became even more frequent.
She even has to take care of cheating on exams and getting distracted in class.
So Xiao Tao really teased her a lot in the beginning.
I stuffed bugs into the pencil case and drew little people in Sang Jing's textbook.
It seems that he also drew the 38th line and stabbed people with a compass.
But even so, when the school organized a spring outing.
Xiao Tao's family was too poor to afford the boating money, so Sang Jing took the initiative to pay for it.
Moreover, the bread, sausages, eggs, and cakes that Sang Jing brought were generously distributed to Xiao Tao, and most of them even went into his stomach.
Later, he joined the society and dropped out of school. Sang Jing came to see him several times to persuade him to go back to school.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tao blushed a little, just like a child who stepped on a mousetrap and panicked.
If you drink all the water from three rivers, it will be difficult to wash away your shame.
He couldn't help but regret that he was young and ignorant.
So he hurriedly showed his enthusiasm as much as possible and continued talking.
"How can I? I'm grateful to you before it's too late. I think if it hadn't been for your help and supervising me from behind, I'd be illiterate now and wouldn't even know the words. Hey, where do you work now?
What? With your dad at the backstage, why don’t you join a big agency?"
Unexpectedly, these words elicited a very unhappy reply from Sang Jing.
"Screw you, I'm so worthless. I'm still studying. I got admitted to the Second Medical College... No, it's called Capital Medical College now. So I still have one year to go before I graduate..."
Although Xiao Tao was surprised, he couldn't help but admire him.
"Oh, you are really great! This is a university, right? It's so difficult to get into university! Let alone those who study medicine! No matter what the name is, not many people can get into it. I guess all the people in our elementary school and middle school can get into it.
Among the classmates, you are the most promising."
Sang Jing is also very humble.
"Look what you said, what's the matter? In fact, there are quite a few of our classmates who have been admitted to college. I know three of them. If you don't study hard, you might be able to pass the exam. However,
After all, studying is something you have to do on your own initiative. If you don't want to, it's useless for anyone to force you to do it. Then just stop it."
These words certainly made Xiao Tao feel even more ashamed.
"Yes, yes, I have failed to live up to your expectations, and it's all up to me. But you do think highly of me. No matter how hard I work, high school will be over at most."
But having said that, as Ning Weimin's younger brother, although he hasn't really had his own career yet.
But in the past few years, I have made a lot of money, and my horizons have also changed.
At least today's "Xiao Tao" seems to be doing well and very respectable from the looks of his clothes.
Fur coat, leather gloves, black sunglasses, pure black wool scarf, washed white jeans, and pointed leather shoes.
This style is almost comparable to that of "Little Ma" in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and it is quite eye-catching.
So Sang Jing did not look down on him, but instead regarded his inferiority stemming from his bone marrow as politeness and humility.
"Oh, don't say that. You look pretty good now..."
Especially when I saw that he was carrying a large bag of Motorola electronic products in his hand, I was even more surprised.
"What? You have used such an advanced thing. You just bought it today? Sure. I have a classmate whose brother is a branch manager of a bank. He also has a pager. I heard it costs several thousand yuan!"
This finally made Xiao Tao feel better and gain some confidence.
"Hey, it's not that exaggerated. This thing is only about 1,200 yuan. The service fee is about 400 yuan per year. The other part is the Internet access fee, which is about 1,000 yuan. So after adding everything, it's only 2,600 yuan..."
"Isn't that an exaggeration? Two thousand sixty-six is a lot. My dad's annual salary is not that much. Oh, by the way, why did you buy so much! How many are in the bag? You...you
You don’t work here, do you?”
"No, no, I don't work here. I have these in my bag. In addition to my own, there are also some for others. Several of us need to use them."
"Several people? So...you work in a big company. Oh my, your company is really rich. Just for convenience, you are willing to spend so much money to buy this. Hey, where do you work? What do you do?
Yes? Tell me quickly..."
As a result, under the girl's curious gaze, Xiao Tao completely fainted.
I wanted to tell the truth and tell Sang Jing that I was self-employed, but I was afraid of being embarrassed when I said it.
Especially because he was afraid that Sang Jing's attitude towards him would change 180 degrees.
So it didn't matter. As soon as he was bald, he broke into a big panic.
"My, my unit, actually... it's just okay, Pilkington... do you know this company?"
"Ah? Are you kidding me? How could you not know?"
Sang Jing's face was full of disbelief and surprise, and then she patted Xiao Tao on the shoulder without saying anything, "I can't tell, you are so awesome. You actually worked for a foreign company. And you are such a famous 'No. 1 foreign company'."
If our teachers and classmates knew this, they would definitely be shocked."
Then, like a curious baby, she couldn't wait to ask. "Hey, you are quite good at foreign languages now, right? What is it like to work in a foreign company? It must be more fun than an office, right? Hey, by the way, everyone said that this year Aland
When is Long going to visit China? Is there any news within your company?"
The girl at this time was really innocent. Seeing that Sang Jing believed in his words so much, Xiao Tao felt embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Unexpectedly, Sang Jing misunderstood. Looking at Xiao Tao's reaction, she thought he didn't want to talk more, so she suddenly became embarrassed.
"Oh, look at me, I'm on winter vacation, but I forgot that you are still at work. Did I delay your time? I heard that foreign companies are very strict in management, I'm sorry. How about we meet again..."
Under such circumstances, Xiao Tao couldn't think of anything else in his mind, so he quickly made a statement.
"No, no, my job today is to connect the pager to the network. I've already done it. I'll be fine now. So what? If you have nothing to do, how about we find a place to chat. I'll treat you.
It’s very cold here to eat…”
Unexpectedly, Sang Jing was quite happy, "Okay, okay, I came out for a walk today just out of boredom. I just came out of the bookstore. I was wondering whether to go to the newly opened Baihua Market. We met just in time to chat.
Chat. However, I am not a girl who goes around trying to get food. Let’s talk about it first, today I will treat..."
But how could Xiao Tao have the nerve to let a girl pay for it?
Shaking his head like a rattle.
"No, no, no, I'll invite you. You're still in school, and I'm already working. Besides, it's natural for a man to invite a woman..."
Unexpectedly, Sang Jing was not happy anymore and frowned slightly.
"What are you talking about? Aren't we old classmates? You are at work, and I know that foreign companies pay high wages. But I am still your monitor. If you want to do this kind of thing, you are being chauvinistic, so let's not go there.
.I’ll just pretend I’ve never met you today…”
As soon as he said this, a burst of background music could not help but appear in Xiao Tao's heart.
"...We have just entered the journey of life, and we often worry that our innocent hearts will feel lonely. Although it is a long journey, there will always be friends, and friends will meet me. A childlike innocence is just a dream, a
Childlike innocence is just a shining pearl..." This is the theme song "Glittering Pearl" from "The Girl in Red" which was shown in the cinema a while ago.
Not for anything else, just because Sang Jing's tone was very similar to the way he used to be caught skipping classes and wouldn't let him go.
It really made him feel the bright sunshine of his boyhood.
