After the carefully arranged meeting ended on bad terms, those who should have stayed did not stay, and those who should not have stayed.
Fu Wan and Shen Ziqi were left with a table of delicious French dishes, silent to each other. Silence was Fu Wan's habitual way of getting along with him, with zero communication.
Fu Wan stayed up late yesterday to catch up on the winery project, and fell asleep a little deeply. "Remember to lock the door for me when you go back."
Sitting here and staring at Shen Zi, she couldn't think of a reason. It would be better to wait for Shen Ye to have time some other time, and then she would meet him again and understand the situation. He shouldn't have any reason to target Shen. Maybe something happened in it. Misunderstand.
In the past, Shen Ziqi usually had a lot of opinions when Fu Wan didn't go home with him. Shen Ziqi, who drank a little too much, not only didn't feel drunk, but became more sober. "What I said to my brother just now is not false."
Fu Wan said "Oh" without any extra answer, but Shen Ziqi spoke again and stopped her in her tracks, "But if I become a pauper, I will divorce you, so just wait, wait." Two years, no less than ten days and a half, you will be free soon."
Shen Ziqi's sudden solemnity made Fu Wan think about how precarious Shen's situation was. She still remembered the momentum with which Shen Ziqi carried her back from the airport, as if he had really decided to stay with her for the rest of his life.
In fact, a woman like her is really not suitable for Shen Ziqi. If she had not intervened in Shen Ziqi's life, even if he was trapped by the Shen family, he would be happier than he is now.
Fu Wan still didn't speak. It wasn't until Shen Ziqi staggered forward that she couldn't help but say, "Lei's side... are you sure they will sign a contract with Pam? Isn't it a rumor?" She still refused to believe that Shen Ye was serious. It will make Shen lose.
Shen Ziqi's silence was equivalent to giving a positive answer. If it were just a rumor, there would be no seriousness at this moment.
After a moment of silence, Shen Ziqi said slowly, "You are right. I am not as capable as my brother. I am not as good as him. I have been pampered since I was a child. I am used to having clothes to put out my hands and food to open my mouth. Now I have to bear the burden alone." I admit that I don't have the ability to shoulder the heavy burden of the Shen family."
Fu Wan knew very well that he was belittling himself. Without confidence, he seemed to be afraid and cowed in everything he did.
In these years, during the two years when Shen Ye was away, the Shen family's current development is due to him.
"Go in and rest. If you like to stay at the winery, I will ask someone to pack your luggage at home tomorrow."
For a while, until he couldn't get Lei's cooperation case, he didn't want to see Fu Wan, and he didn't want to stand with Fu Wan as a loser. He was not qualified, and Shen Ziqi's inferiority complex kept causing trouble.
Fu Wan really wanted to move out of that so-called home before, but when she actually heard Shen Ziqi tell her to stay alone in the winery, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, whether it was happiness or sadness, all the five emotions were mixed together. .
Shen's situation is critical, and perhaps Fu Wan can still be of some help. At least when she worked as an assistant to Shen Ye, she could handle official matters with ease, but Yin Manqing was at a loss. She had no idea how complicated the fight in the mall was. fierce.
She couldn't even master the courses she studied in college, so how could she find a solution for Shen Ziqi?
Shen Ye is right. What she is best at is asking for help. She has never been able to handle things by herself...
Yin Manqing was distractedly flipping through the elective course "International Business Arbitration System" for this semester. Looking at the troublesome regulations and rules in it, Yin Manqing's head suddenly sank, "Tang Huan, I guess this semester's "International Business Arbitration System" "Commercial Arbitration System", I had to fail the subject again. If I failed again, it would be the third time to retake it. Also, let alone the subject "Mathematical Economics", it was a complete mess and I didn't understand it at all. I will definitely graduate in the end. Those who can’t do their job.”
Tang Huan, who was burying his head in the textbook, pushed up the thick glasses frame and looked at Yin Manqing, "I realize that you finally look like a student and can finally put some thought into studying. If you don't stop eating, I'm afraid The only destiny is to keep re-study. However, if you are lucky and have a pair of wealthy parents, maybe you will be directly arranged to study for a master's and doctoral degree at a foreign university in the next semester. There is no need for a bachelor's degree. .”
Tang Huan is definitely not jealous, but can't help but feel the difference in fate between them.
"Give me a break. I'm still studying for a master's degree and a Ph.D. How long will it take to study? I'm afraid I won't be able to graduate even when I'm forty. I don't want to study abroad because I'm not used to life abroad."
Inadvertently talking about life abroad, she couldn't help but think of Shen Ye. At first, she had the idea to go abroad to avoid him, but he was threatening and objecting, so he forced her to stay in the country.
In fact, it's not that I don't like life abroad. If Shen Ye is here, if they are in Vancouver... they will be happy no matter where they are together.
Her thoughts wandered away, Yin Manqing blinked hard, braced herself and returned her gaze to the book, "Huanhuan, your grades are so good, you can definitely go to a university in Germany as an exchange student to study. Although the school has limited places, I believe you Definitely one of them."
Yin Manqing admired Tang Huan very much. Due to poor family conditions, she had to work several part-time jobs to have the tuition and living expenses to support her through college. Although most of her time was taken up by part-time jobs, her grades were still top-notch.
Such a person, like Fu Wan, can be considered a capable person, and can always do things well.
Only she can do nothing.
"Like you, I'm not interested in foreign schools. I just want to find a job with a good salary after receiving my diploma. That's what I want."
While talking, Tang Huan also made a gesture of praying, but noticed that the time was already one o'clock, "Oh, no, I forgot that I am on duty in the warehouse and store today. Xiaoman, I don't want to talk to you." I have said that our store manager is very fierce. If I am late, she will definitely deduct my salary mercilessly. I don’t think about how easy it is for us college students. She has no mercy at all and has been deducted by her several times. "
Tang Huan hurriedly changed into work clothes. If Tang Huan left, Yin Manqing would be the only one left in the dormitory. "Can you bring your family members? I will go with you and help you do things together without charging your store manager a penny."
…
After a while, Tang Huan was surprised, "Can you... do it? That job is not easy."
"It's not easy to do. It's better than sitting here alone in a daze. I can't read the book anyway. Maybe I can go out and stretch my muscles to make my head smarter." Yin Manqing is afraid of being alone. When she is alone, she tends to have random thoughts. .Instead of doing this, it would be better to go to a crowded place and drive away the person she is thinking about...
"However, you are treating me today." Yin Manqing added.
"No problem, let's go, I'll take you to experience what a hard life is."
When Yin Manqing heard this, she smiled calmly. She had never experienced a "hard life" before. She had done all kinds of part-time jobs, and she was not too bitter or tired. The moment she received her salary, she was only indescribably happy.
Although my body was tired at that time, at least my heart was not as heavy as lead now. It seemed that no matter where I went or what I was doing, the image of Shen Ye lingered in my mind.
Went to a fashion flagship store with Tang Huan. The manager of the flagship store was indeed as mean as Tang Huan said. He was always keeping an eye on them to see if they were lazy. In addition, today was the weekend and there were a lot of people shopping. Tang Huan He and Yin Manqing were first assigned to the warehouse and used clothespins to clip all the pants and skirts that had just been delivered one by one.
The clips were so tough that Yin Manqing and Tang Huan could only bite the bullet and clip them one by one.
Later, because there were so many people shopping in the store, the store manager recruited Tang Huan to the checkout counter. Yin Manqing was left alone in the warehouse behind the store, neatly folding thousands of pairs of pants and skirts and waiting for the store manager's acceptance.
It had been a long time since she had worked as a coolie, and Yin Manqing's thin and delicate fingers were instantly red and swollen. When the store manager was out for business, Yin Manqing walked up to Tang Huan and said pitifully, "Huanhuan, look, look. Look at my hands, they are almost useless..."
Yin Manqing put her swollen hand like a bun in front of her body and showed it to Tang Huan. Although she looked miserable and pitiful, she still smiled heartlessly at the corner of her lips, not wanting Tang Huan to feel embarrassed, "I'll tell you Just kidding, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt at all, I’ve done much harder work than this before.”
Tang Huan tried to touch her fingers, but the red and swollen appearance made her pause, "Xiaoman, I'm sorry, I will treat you to a big dinner after work today."
"For your big meal, it doesn't matter if it's a little swollen."
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Yin Manqing's forehead, "There are only more than fifty items left to finish. Before the store manager comes back, I will rest for a while before continuing."
Tang Huan noticed a customer coming in and said "Welcome" reflexively. However, when he noticed the familiar face of the other person, the words got stuck in the middle of the sentence. Yin Manqing turned his back to the store and asked, "What's wrong?"
She couldn't help but follow Tang Huan's eyes, only to realize that it was Annie and Shen Ye coming side by side...
She never expected that she would meet him in a flagship clothing store by such a coincidence. The more she wanted to forget this person, Shen Ye was everywhere.
Yin Manqing was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know how to place the hand that was originally placed on her chest. In the end, she looked like someone who had done something wrong. She put her hands behind her back and smiled politely at Annie, trying her best to maintain her grace. Shen Ye, I don't know whether Yin Manqing didn't want to see him or didn't dare to look at him. Apart from the eye contact just now, there was no longer any eye contact after that.
Although Tang Huan was surprised, he did not forget that he was at work. "Welcome, sir, do you have any tops and bottoms that you like? Here are the new ones that just arrived yesterday..."
Tang Huan introduced hard, while Shen Ye stared closely at Yin Manqing's red and swollen fingers hidden behind his back...
