chapter Five(1/4)
She came out of it quickly. Please update soon. Only then did I really notice that she was really short, definitely less than 1.6 meters, and at most 1.58 meters. And she
too skinny.
She was also holding a paper bag in her hand, which looked very delicate.
She handed the paper bag to me, smiled and said to me: "A small gift. Please accept it. Nice to meet you today."
Only then did I realize that the beautiful paper bag had the English logo of Versace, and I immediately hesitated, "President Chang, isn't your gift too expensive?" [
She laughed, "Compared to yours, this is just a gadget. Doctor Feng, if you say this, you are looking down on me. Since we are friends, shouldn't we say these things? Logically speaking, I
I can't get the stuff out of my hands. But I think it's good. You give me cosmetics, and I'll give you a tie in return. It's all for the sake of beauty. Haha! That's it, I have something to do soon. The main reason is that I have been too busy in the past few days.
In a few days, I will ask Kang Mi to go out for a meal. You must attend when the time comes?"
I had no choice but to pick it up, and still said in an embarrassed tone: "President Chang, thank you. You see, I came to trouble you today, but the result was... Haha! Let's do it, I'll come in a few days.
Yodemao, I will call you when the time comes."
She walked me out of the office personally, and then her assistant took me to the elevator.
On the way back by car, I kept feeling uneasy, so I immediately called Kang Demao, "De Mao, I have already gone to see President Chang. But she said that Ning Xiangru should go to the director of the credit department. Today
I brought her a small gift, but she actually gave me something back. I thought she was too polite, which made me worry about what might go wrong."
"She has such a temper. But Governor Huang values her very much. She was right to ask Ning Xiangru to go to the director of the credit department. She is the president and cannot handle such matters specifically. She only needs to
Just say hello to the director of the credit department. By the way, what did you give her? You are amazing. She accepted your gift the first time you went to her place. You don’t know, many people
I have hit a wall in front of her." He said to me.
"Really? Speaking of which, she is giving me face. Haha! No, she is giving you face. I gave her a set of cosmetics. It was given by someone else when Chen Yuan and I got married. It happened to be
She had the last set. She gave me a Versace tie in return, which made me feel embarrassed. Demao, I'll give this tie to you." I said with a smile, and my mood suddenly became happy.
"Haha! I don't dare accept it. That's something someone gave you. And I have a lot of those things here." He said with a smile.
"Why are you so corrupt?" I laughed.
His voice suddenly became softer, "Think about it, I am Governor Huang's secretary, of course people will take me into consideration when giving him small gifts. Recently, a manufacturer specializing in the production of mink coats gave gifts to people in the province.
The leader each gave me a piece of clothing, and all of us who are secretaries have it. But I don’t dare to wear it, it’s too expensive. Feng Xiao, it’s very appropriate for me to give it to you. Let me consider this a gift to thank the matchmaker.”
I laughed and said, "Okay. Give me all those high-end gadgets that you dare not use, so that you don't leave them at home and get moldy. Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. President Chang said that she will be ready in a few days."
Invite you to dinner and let me participate. So I said I would make the arrangements. Demao, you have to come forward to do this."
"Okay. Just this weekend. Let her make the arrangements then. They have too much money in the bank, so we can help her spend a little bit," he said with a smile.
"Then, will your name be Ning Xiangru then?" I asked.
"Don't call her. Now I'm trying to avoid her." He said hurriedly.
"De Mao, I think we should call her. On the one hand, we can take this opportunity for her to meet with President Chang. On the other hand, we can also take the opportunity to ease your current relationship with her. De Mao, after all, you have been
We had that kind of relationship, and now your relationship has become so tense, she will always be a time bomb. Wouldn't it be better if we could take this opportunity to pull out the fuse of this bomb?" I hurriedly persuaded him.
.
"Well, you can ask her then. If she is willing to come, I have no objection. But please, you must make it clear to her, Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about it? If she acts mean at the dinner table, I will
But I can’t get off the stage,” he said.
I thought it was not impossible that he was worried about such a situation happening, so I said: "Well, I'll ask her clearly first before talking about it. I lacked consideration on this matter. After all, your status is different now. If
It would be troublesome if President Chang knew what happened between you and her. Forget it, don’t call her, let’s talk about it later. I’m just worried about what will happen in the future. By the way, there’s one more thing, please tell me Chang Xing
If the president doesn't let Ning Xiangru go see her, how can she express her feelings to the president?"
One thing I know is that although President Chang generally does not accept gifts from others, it does not mean that she will not accept other forms of benefits.
"Feng Xiao, these things are not issues that you and I need to consider. She Ning Xiangru has been in business for many years, and she knows how to deal with such matters. And for me, it is impossible to do anything to her.
It's her idea. You can let her figure it out. To be honest, although I am familiar with President Chang, I really don't know her very well in this regard," he replied.
I think this is the best I can do.[
I immediately called Ning Xiangru and told her what President Chang said today. She was very happy and kept thanking me.
"You hurry up and get things done. Bring all the information." I said.
"Do I need to express my opinion to the credit officer?" she asked me.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, because this was exactly the question I asked Kang Demao just now, "How do I know? You can figure it out."
"The problem is with President Chang... Now that she has said hello, with the people below... Okay, I'll test the other person's tone before talking." She said. I could feel that she
I also find it very difficult to do.
Two days later, Ning Xiangru called me and said, "The director of the credit department was very polite. The information has been handed over to them. I might have to trouble you to call President Chang again."
Now, I suddenly had an impulse: Should I tell her the truth that Kang Demao was helping in this matter?
There is a reason why I have such an impulse, because I know that many misunderstandings are caused or even aggravated by concealment. This kind of thing often happens in movies and TV, and it is even more so in our real life.
But...I also thought about the special relationship between her and Kang Demao, so I was very hesitant.
In fact, I only have one hesitant wish, which is what Kang Demao worries about: it would be terrible if Ning Xiangru makes a big fuss when inviting President Chang to dinner. Because I, and even Kang Demao, are not sure.
Such a situation will not happen. Although I think Ning Xiangru will probably not do that considering her current difficulties, but such a thing is not a gamble, because Kang Demao's current position is too sensitive.
Or this way, I will tell Ning Xiangru about Kang Demao's help first, and then see her attitude. Now that she has handed over the information to China Construction Bank, it will not affect the subsequent loan. Yes, that's it. I
I thought immediately.
So, I told her directly: "I have something I want to talk to you about. Let's find a place."
Ning Xiangru and I were sitting outside a teahouse on Binjiang Road. There were two wicker chairs and a pot of green tea on the coffee table. There was bright sunshine today. Sitting in the wicker chair, I was already warmed by the sunshine.
It reminds me of last year's autumn. I miss this feeling of warmth, because this warmth is gentle and also gives people a pleasant feeling of tiredness.
Ning Xiangru sat opposite me, hiding in the shade of a tree. She was afraid that the sun would expose the spots on her face. She told me so herself.
I like this lazy feeling, because this feeling allows me to talk to her slowly about certain issues calmly. I curled up my body in the wicker chair and asked her: "Who
What exactly did the director of the credit department tell you?"
"He just asked me to complete the information as soon as possible. He also said that President Chang had already greeted him. I hinted that he wanted to thank him, but he refused directly. He said that we will take the matters assigned by President Chang seriously.
Yes." she replied.
"Xiangru, I think if you continue to deal with them in the future, you must establish a stronger relationship this time. This is a good opportunity." I immediately suggested to her.
She nodded, "Yes, I already thought so. So I expressed my opinion to the director. He accepted it, but only after my repeated persuasion, and I assured him that President Chang did not know about this.
Something.”
I immediately felt relieved.
I immediately said to her: "Xiangru, let me tell you the truth, my father-in-law did not help with this matter. This was also the first time I came into contact with President Chang. The person who helped was Kang Demao. He is the executive deputy governor.
Secretary, Governor Huang is in charge of finance, so your affairs are going so smoothly."
"Feng Xiao, you...how could you do this? Aren't you making me feel even more uncomfortable? You clearly know that I hate Kang Demao in my heart, but you do this." She was suddenly stunned, and then became furious.
I gestured to her, "Stop talking. I know what you are thinking in your heart, you just want to make Kang Demao feel ashamed of you, right? But have you ever thought about it? What is your biggest difficulty at the moment? Yes
The future future and destiny of your company, am I right? You invested so much money in that project, and now your problem is that your capital chain is about to be broken, and you are watching the upcoming crisis.
The profits gained are likely to be wasted. Therefore, I think that for now, there is nothing more important than solving your current financial difficulties. Similarly, emotional issues are actually very simple to say, fate is such a thing
If there is no more, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. As the saying goes, a tough melon is not sweet, and you should understand this truth. If I were you, I might take the initiative to find Kangdemao to help solve this problem in exchange.
This is better than not giving him shares or anything, at least the two of you will not become strangers or even enemies. Human life is very short, only a few decades, and even a short relationship is worth cherishing.
.Do you think I am right? Kang Demao actually felt very sad. He felt sorry for you. I said to him, Demao, you and I are the most despicable people in the world when it comes to how we treat Ning Xiangru.
He acknowledged my statement. But I understand him very well, and I hope you can understand it too, because marriage is a lifelong matter, and he must have chosen the current person after comparison. Like, you have been through this too, so you should
Understand what kind of pain it will be for two people to be together reluctantly. Maybe this kind of pain can be tolerated for a period of time, but it is difficult to say when it lasts. Rather than being unable to endure the pain of divorce again in the future, it is better to break off now.
That's good. Xiangru, didn't you say that? What you need most now is your own career, and Kangdemao is fully capable of helping you. I think that since you and him can't be husband and wife, we can definitely become very good friends.
Ah. Do you think so?"[
She didn't speak anymore, but I could see the sad look on her face.
I continued: "Xiangru, we are all adults now, and things between two people are sometimes difficult to talk about. I believe that Kang Demao really liked you at that time, because he told me this matter, but a
People's emotions will change, so I don't think you can completely attribute him to being fond of the new and hating the old."
At this point, I heard her suddenly say coldly: "Feng Xiao, actually you are wrong. I know you are going to find Kang Demao, and I also know that Kang Demao will help me. This is just a strategy I used.
I already knew that he had a new girlfriend, and I was very angry, but I didn’t impulsively go to him to argue. Of course, I could also pretend that I didn’t know anything and ask him to come forward to solve my loan problem.
, but I didn’t do that, because I wanted him to not only help me, but I still felt guilty in my heart. You are right, we are already adults, sleeping together, having sex and so on is not a big deal.
Anyway, I feel comfortable. What’s the big deal? That’s why I won’t go to him and make a fuss like those little girls. That’s too stupid and not worth it. But, I want to punish him, I want to punish him
I can't get peace of mind even if I play with women and let him help me. It's that simple. I know what you, Feng Xiao, did in the middle, so I asked you to do those things for me. I'm doing it for your own good.
, so that you don’t feel uncomfortable in your heart all the time. Now it’s fine, my loan problem will be solved soon. Feng Xiao, the matter between you and I is settled. Now you don’t have to feel guilty, right?"
I was stunned because I didn't expect that things would be like this. At this moment, the anger in my heart burst out, and I almost couldn't help but burst out!
To be continued...
