Chapter 46: If you want to get something, you have to pay first. "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I really won't play tricks on you anymore."
"I don't believe it, you deserve a beating." Nan Xi struggled not to let him hug her. She was still in the company in broad daylight, acting like a gangster. If someone came in and saw her, wouldn't she want to burrow into the ground?
"Really, really, what I want to say is, don't doodle casually in the future and make a joke for the company. This is second to none. If someone with an intention sees it, won't your design be plagiarized? This is your hard work, and it's in vain.
Would you like to show it to others?"
Okay, his excuse is reasonable, but who would plagiarize her design? Nanxi doesn't have the confidence, "You're overthinking it. I'm just doodling. Sometimes meetings are really boring. If I don't draw, I'll write."
I'm dozing off..." Suddenly Du Zhuoling's face turned gloomy again, and he laughed quickly, "Hehehehe, I won't desert from meetings in the future, and I won't even talk about business, I promise."
Nan Xi raised a hand and promised her with all her heart. Seeing her anxious and delicate look, Zhuo Ling found it hard to get angry. He stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, "You, your mouth is quite sweet. This competition
Now that you have signed up, you should prepare well. I will arrange the work for Zhong Fei in the future. The Chinese New Year will be in one month and the competition happens to be during the Lantern Festival, so you don’t have much time to prepare."
"This...are you preparing all this for me?" An inexplicable touch came to her heart. Even for a competition that she didn't take seriously, Zhuo Ling had prepared everything for her, so many jewelry magazines.
, all of which are the hottest and most popular design indicators of the season. He must know more than she does. She is really speechless that he is so busy with work and still finds time to collect these magazines for her.
"Thank you, thank you, but I'm afraid that I can't do it well, and I'm afraid that I will let down all your hopes. You treat me like this, I...I..." She was so moved that she could not speak. From childhood to adulthood, except for her grandfather,
No one has ever done so much for her. From family affairs to official affairs, now he is even planning for her future, "Zhuo Ling, I..."
Her lips were stopped by his fingers, "Okay, there is no need to say anything. He Nanxi, you have to remember that you will not be alone in the future. I have plenty of money. Don't tie yourself up because of money. I believe
In terms of my vision, you also have to have confidence in yourself."
"But, after all, it's all your money. I don't want to be the kind of woman others say. I'm not coveting your money."
"Haha, of course I know, I worked so hard to catch you." Zhuo Ling looked at her affectionately, making her blush to her ears.
Perhaps it was related to his own experience. He was very accurate in judging people. If He Nanxi was a vain person as people outside said, he would not look at her at all. Just because he saw her enthusiasm for life,
After seeing her attitude of facing it no matter how difficult life was, he saw that she was like a piece of simple jade, pure, clean and precious, so he was sure that he would catch her quickly.
He had lived for twenty-five years and met many people. In his impression, except for his dead mother and his eldest brother who was in a vegetative state, the people who approached him were not simply trying to get close to him, for fame, or for fame.
For profit. Each of them either fawned over him as a cash cow, or laughed at him behind his back as a laughingstock. He knew all this.
Of course, he also knows that if you want to get something, you have to give first. He is willing to love He Nanxi well before she completely falls in love with him. He believes that he will receive more love in the future.
Because he could see her clearly.
Because, he loves her.
"By the way, Zhuo Ling, I told grandpa about our affairs last night. Can you come with me to see him today?"
"Of course, by the way, I will take you to see my elder brother."
"Hahaha, does this count as meeting the parents?" Nan Xi covered her mouth and laughed. She could only have fun in her misery. Their relatives were all in the hospital, and the sick people didn't know. What they were most worried about was actually
It's family.
Speaking of meeting his parents, Zhuo Ling naturally thought of his father and the huge sum of 100 million proposed by Xu Beiguan. The only one who can help now is probably his old father.
——The Lujiazui mansion area, a quiet area amidst the bustle, is where the Zhuo family’s old-fashioned villa is located.
Zhuo Ling drove the car slowly along the path outside the wall. He remembered that it was summer when he left home, and the ivy trees outside were hanging lushly. A gust of wind blew, and the intertwined leaves rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound.
.
But now, I haven't been back for more than three years, and the surroundings have not changed much, except that the ivy outside the wall has withered and turned yellow, gradually fading in the cold wind.
As he got closer and closer to the door of Zhuo's house, Zhuo Ling felt depressed yet excited. When he was eight years old, he walked in with the same mood, but he was more helpless and hesitant than he is now.
"Hey, Uncle Li," the car stopped not far from the door. Zhuo Ling called home to report, "Auntie is out?"
"Second Young Master, yes, my wife has already gone out. She has activities today and will not come home so early. The master is already waiting for you."
"Okay, then I'm coming in."
I originally wanted to make an appointment with my father at a hotel outside, but after a phone call, I learned that my father had been unwell and bedridden during this period, so he could only come home when Cai Nianlan went out.
The old father had just passed his seventieth birthday. His eldest son, whom he had always been proud of and the backbone of the family, suddenly became a vegetative state in a car accident. This was a very big blow to an old man. Now that he is ill, perhaps, his life
Not much anymore.
Walking into the familiar door and passing through the familiar courtyard, Zhuo Ling walked into the Zhuo family villa where he had lived for fourteen years. The big wintersweet tree in the flower bed was in full bloom with yellow wintersweet flowers, bringing a sense of joy to this cold winter.
There was a touch of beauty, as if welcoming him home.
The housekeeper Lao Li trotted out of the villa and stepped forward to hold Zhuo Ling's hand. He was so excited that his voice trembled, "Second Young Master, you are back. I have been looking forward to your coming back all day. Ever since
When the eldest young master got into trouble, he never had a smile on his face. When he received your call saying you wanted to meet, he smiled immediately."
Zhuo Ling nodded and said as he walked: "How is my dad's health? Has he seen a doctor?"
"I have seen it. Dr. Zhu comes to check every day. He just has a slight cold. He is old and cannot afford any minor illness."
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Well, it's getting a lot better. It's been too cold in Shanghai these days, so I don't dare to let him go out to get some air."
Zhuo Ling frowned. His father's health also worried him. Blood is thicker than water. After all, he was his father. Even though he played with his mother and abandoned them, he was still his biological father.
