Zhang Ling looked at Xiao Jin and finished speaking with a worried look on his face.
She couldn't help laughing and said:
"Oh, there are such ridiculous rumors?"
"That's right! I also said this to those who spread rumors at the time. But it is said that this rumor came from the general manager's office." Xiao Jin said a little mysteriously.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard these words.
I just feel like these words sound a little familiar.
It seems that the last time Xiao Jin said these words, she was faced with rumors of being "kept".
This time she obviously felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
Then rumors of being "removed" will spread.
She looked at Xiao Jin's mouth with inquiring eyes.
Now I have a vague suspicion that this woman's mouth must have been opened by a master.
The bad news you hear from her mouth is absolutely true.
However, she also understood Xiao Jin's little thoughts.
She was just worried that if she fell, then Xiao Jin, the secretary, would also be in trouble.
"Oh, I know what you are worried about? Don't worry, if you don't want to work around me anymore, I can take care of the personnel and let you go back to work at your original place now."
When Xiao Jin heard Zhang Ling's words, he did not accept them gratefully.
Instead, I felt a little abnormal and expressed my loyalty to her, saying that I would never leave like this.
He also said that he was willing to believe that Zhang Ling would be able to survive this crisis.
To be honest, most superiors would be pleased to meet such subordinates in the workplace.
However, if she had not accidentally seen the ambiguous relationship between Xiao Jin and Zhang Yu.
She really wanted to believe in Xiao Jin's loyalty.
After politely dismissing Xiao Jin, she returned to work.
Only work can allow her to relax temporarily, and she will no longer be disturbed by Li Xiang's invitation letter.
That's evening.
Yan Yuan shamelessly came to Zhang Ling's house to eat and drink because of Li Xiang's request.
In the end, Zhang Ling wanted to be alone but was unable to drive Yan Yuan away.
Before going to bed, Zhang Ling always wanted to close the curtains. In order to stay in bed properly, Yan Yuan diligently closed the curtains according to his habit.
After turning off the lights, she said that the night sky tonight was beautiful and she wanted to enjoy the night sky immersively.
Then he pulled open the curtain Yan Yuan was holding.
Yan Yuan came to sit on the bedside with some curiosity, looking up at the night sky dotted with stars outside the window and asked:
"Zhang Ling, tell me what's on your mind. Don't be alone in your heart, okay?"
Listening to Yan Yuan's worried tone, she glanced sideways and said:
"It's okay, what can happen to me?"
Zhang Ling immediately felt an arm put on her shoulder, and a questioning voice came in her ear:
"Don't lie to me. I clearly remember that you were always like this in the first few months when Qi Diaozhe disappeared. It's been so many years. You still can't forget him?"
Or maybe her obsession is really too deep.
When he heard the name again from Shangguan Aoxue, he accidentally looked at the calendar on his phone and remembered that today was Qi Diaozhe's birthday.
Generally, when couples celebrate their boyfriend's birthday, they need to carefully prepare birthday gifts.
But the first love back then turned around and carefully prepared gifts for Zhang Ling.
Qi Diaozhe said that his girlfriend is as unrestrained as a flower in his life, and there is no reason for the most important woman in his life to have only one birthday.
So he is willing to let his birthday also be her birthday.
I just wish I could have a flower-like smile when she opens her birthday present.
Just because he likes her smile.
To this day, when she thinks of these words said by Qi Diaozhe again, she still has a happy smile on her face as if she were remembering them.
Yan Yuan on the side did not hear Zhang Ling's answer, but saw her familiar and happy smile.
She knew that Zhang Ling was really thinking about Qi Diaozhe now, not Li Xiang who had been worrying about her.
Because Zhang Ling will smile happily in love when she thinks of Li Xiang.
Yan Yuan couldn't help but sympathize with Li Xiang.
Are all people really like this?
People often don’t know how to cherish the happiness they hold in their hands, and they don’t keep recalling the lost happiness until it is lost.
Thinking of this, Yan Yuan reminded him again:
"Where's Li Xiang? You've been thinking about Qi Diaozhe. This is so unfair to Li Xiang!"
"Unfair? No, this is fair." Zhang Ling defended with a strong sense of jealousy.
She thought again of Shangguan Aoxue's proud look when she showed the invitation.
revenge?
Yes, it's revenge.
She just wanted to use this method to take revenge on Li Xiang, that smooth-talking man.
Because she had already decided in her heart that Li wanted to take Shangguan Aoxue to attend the family sacrifice.
Then at the same time, he indirectly admitted that the woman was his girlfriend.
Revenge Li Xiang since he no longer needs her as his girlfriend.
Why couldn't he tell her in person beforehand?
The most irritating thing is that the woman with two surnames is asked to do it.
Man, she hates this kind of irresponsibility the most.
Yan Yuan said a little confused:
"Weren't you all fine two days ago? You even went to grandma's birthday party happily. When you came back, I found that you had accepted grandma's bracelet. Look, you are still wearing it on your wrist."
bracelet!
She reacted suddenly.
You, Li Xiang, have already chosen the woman with two surnames.
Then she must take off the bracelet.
Thinking of this, she usually does self-abuse without any lubrication measures and uses her hands to force it.
Through the faint light reflected from the window, Yan Yuan saw that her bracelet had not been taken off yet, and her hands had turned blue due to the restraint of the bracelet.
"That's enough!" Yan Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
"It's almost there. Look, I'll take it off if I persist a little longer." Zhang Ling sounded a bit happy in her tone.
"This hand will be really useless if you keep insisting!" Yan Yuan did not listen to Zhang Ling's sophistry, then stepped forward and tore Zhang Ling's hand apart, and pushed the bracelet back to her wrist, "Actually, it's good that it can't be taken off. Maybe.
This is God’s message to you.”
"Hint?" Zhang Ling raised her head and looked at Yan Yuan carefully.
"Yes, it's a hint. It implies that Li Xiang is the person you are destined for."
Yan Yuan looked at Zhang Ling as if she had entered a state of imagination, and her face unconsciously revealed a happy smile in love.
Then he is sure that Zhang Ling should be recalling some happy scenes with Li Xiang at this moment.
Yan Yuan felt a little distressed and helped Zhang Ling rub her bruised hands and continued:
"So don't abuse yourself anymore. Even if something big happens between you, you can still sit down and discuss the solution. You often say that there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. But why is it your turn...
"
Zhang Ling stood up subconsciously before Yan Yuan finished speaking, looked down at Yan Yuan and said:
"Everything else will do! If you feel that we can be together emotionally, then you must be honest with your soul. If you don't want to be together anymore, I, Zhang Ling, will not be like a little girl in the 17th or 18th century, who is unwilling to live or die.
Separate. So why does he want to?"
Yan Yuan listened to Zhang Ling's words and guessed:
"You mean Li Xiang has a new love! Who is it?"
"The one you've seen is the woman with a two-character surname who likes to pretend to be elegant." Zhang Ling said with some emotion.
After hearing this, Yan Yuan completely forgot about her promise to Li Xiang. Then she changed sides and cursed Li Xiang together with Zhang Ling.
The two sisters came together and used almost all the words they could think of to curse men on Li Xiang.
Maybe a little too high!
This prompted a fierce knock on the door from my father.
"Hey, Yan Yuan. What are you doing? I don't know, old man, that I'm not a lighter sleeper than you young people. If you don't sleep, get out of here and yell on the street. Don't disturb my sleep at home."
In the eyes of her father, Yan Yuan has always been a lawless being, so he subconsciously scolded her first.
Yan Yuan still felt happy about cursing Li Xiang, so she snickered and accused:
"It's all your fault!"
Zhang Ling pushed Yan Yuan down on the bed, stood up and pretended to accuse loudly:
"Yan Yuan, do you hear me? I told you to be quiet, but you just didn't listen. Look, you woke up my dad. What should I do? Never mind. If my dad won't let you enter the house in the future. Come on.
I won’t intercede for you then.”
Zhang Ling diverted misfortune to the east, and her father's voice at the door became even louder when he yelled at Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan stood up to explain but Zhang Ling covered her mouth.
"Dad, I have already scolded Yan Yuan for you. She said she would never dare to do it again. You should go to sleep quickly."
Listening to his father leaving at the door, Yan Yuan broke away from Zhang Ling, glared and accused:
"Well done to you Zhang Ling..."
Zhang Ling quickly interrupted and said, "Quiet! Do you want to recruit my dad again? My dad might really throw you out by then."
Yan Yuan indeed showed fear and lowered his voice:
"Obviously you are the loudest. Why should I take the blame? I won't take the blame. No, I'm going to find my uncle to explain it clearly."
After Yan Yuan finished speaking, he shouted and walked towards the door.
Thinking that Zhang Ling would be frightened by her behavior and beg for mercy.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling yawned, plopped down on the bed, and waved her hands and said:
"Go, go. If you're not sleepy, go ahead. I'm sleepy, so I'll go to bed first. Good night!"
Yan Yuan was extremely embarrassed at this time!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ling didn't even cooperate to stop her.
have no choice!
Everyone was almost at the door of the bedroom. If Yan Yuan just turned around and went back to sleep, Zhang Ling would definitely laugh at her.
So she had an idea and decided to go out for a walk to the bathroom. Then she came back and pretended to be proud and said that she had argued with her father.
By the way, he said a few words of threats and temptations, and Zhang Ling immediately took the initiative to go to her father to claim the crime.
When the time comes, Zhang Ling's behavior will most likely anger her father, and Yan Yuan will wait and watch the show.
moment.
Yan Yuan came back again, and the bedroom was surprisingly quiet. He didn't wait for Zhang Ling's teasing and questioning, so he tried many words in the bathroom to no avail.
Zhang Ling is asleep!
Yan Yuan sighed and complained that it was unnecessary.
In fact, Zhang Ling was just pretending to be asleep.
After cursing Li Xiang, but also because she heard her father's voice, her brain became much clearer at this time.
It wasn't because Li Xiang was soberly aware that he had wronged him.
It's because I realize clearly that I can't continue to languish and sink like this.
She felt that she could live without a man by her side for the rest of her life, but she could not worry her old father who raised her.
During dinner tonight, she accidentally noticed that her father had a lot more white hair.
When her father is old, it is time for her to take on the responsibility of taking care of him.
Tomorrow she plans to buy that collectible vintage radio that her father has looked at many times but was reluctant to buy.
With Zhang Ling's financial strength, let alone buying a collectible vintage radio, she could even buy a villa for her father to enjoy life.
However, people of my father's generation are accustomed to living in poverty, especially the idea of spending money has been deeply ingrained. When buying something, you have to consider whether it is a daily necessity.
If it is not a daily necessity, you will have to think about it for a long time before deciding to buy it.
He said he was saving the money for her dowry when she got married.
Based on the concept that women should not be too shabby when they get married.
In order to make her life happy after getting married, her father must prepare the best dowry for her.
The collection of old-fashioned radios only has the value of beautiful memories. For my father, even if he likes it no matter how much he likes it, he will never buy it.
Therefore, every time my father really wanted to see something, he would go to an antique collection store to have a look, which could briefly satisfy his desire.
The owner of the antique shop repeatedly persuaded Zhang Ling to buy the radio back if she couldn't.
Every time his father heard this, he would curse the boss as a profiteer, vowing never to come back again, and drag Zhang Ling away angrily.
It didn't last more than half a month, but my father couldn't help but feel the love in his heart and lingered in front of the antique shop.
The boss knows his father's thoughts well. When he knows that his father is coming, he will go out to greet him with a smile and say:
"Old Zhang, you're here again. Come on, come in and have a cup of tea."
The father pretended to be coy and unwilling to enter and said:
"Wait a minute, let's make it clear first."
"Okay, you say." The boss said cooperatively.
My father said reluctantly:
"You took the initiative to invite me in. I didn't take the initiative to come."
The boss smiled and continued to cooperate:
"Okay, okay, this is indeed my invitation to you. Just come in."
My father said with some vigilance:
"Wait a minute, why did I hear the reluctance in your tone of voice?"
The boss stopped his smile, became a little more serious, and said in an inviting posture:
"Lao Zhang, would you please come into the store and drink a cup of tea with me?"
"Okay! Then I will reluctantly accompany you to have a cup of tea." The father walked away with a smile on his face.
At this time, the boss will always talk about which customers have been interested in the radio in recent days.
He also said that one or two people have already decided to buy it.
If it weren't for the deep friendship with his father, he would have decided to take action.
Of course, these words were naturally meant to trick my father into making a purchase as soon as possible.
When my father first heard these words, he did feel uneasy for a while.
But as time went by, the boss said the same thing more often, and my father gradually realized that he was the only one interested in recording the radio.
Zhang Ling recently discovered that her father seemed to have returned to the uneasy feeling he had at the beginning.
Through the exchange, I learned that my father actually saw an old man falling in love with that radio.
This has caused my father to see more white hair recently.
She decided to be filial to her father and start by buying gifts for her loved ones.
Thinking of this, her mood finally calmed down a lot, and her eyelids became too heavy to open.
In a dream.
She appeared in the endless desert for no reason.
The scorching sun and even the air are scorching every cell in the body like fire.
Thirsty, thirsty, looking for water to drink, she ran desperately towards the oasis she could see.
Unfortunately!
It's only one step away from the oasis.
She was completely unable to exert any strength due to hunger and thirst.
His blurred eyes could only look at the lake in despair.
Suddenly, two vague figures appeared in front of me.
One person held an exquisite stone teacup in his hand, with only a sip of water in the cup. He smiled gently at her and said:
"Ling'er, this is the tea I carefully brewed for you. Drink it if you are thirsty."
The other one was holding a glass of water in his hand, and he said to her gently:
"Ling'er, I have a full liter of boiled water here for you. Just drink it if you are thirsty."
