Jian Zhiyan found her car, opened the back door, threw the watch packaging into the car, and then slammed the door.
In the empty underground parking lot, loud noises echoed and dust danced wildly.
Jian Zhiyan sat in the driver's seat, holding a breath in her chest until it exploded.
Ming Xihua has always been arrogant. She thinks that she has given her sincerity when she can bend down to take her daughter shopping and eating. Therefore, she does not feel uneasy at all when asking for something in return.
Even, it's so powerful that it's shocking.
Jian Zhiyan knew that he could not change the contract amount without authorization according to Ming Xihua's instructions, but he was unable to resist.
It's not that she is weak, but that she has never been Ming Xihua's opponent.
Jian Zhiyan longs for a place called home every weekend, waiting for her to go back for dinner; she envies every colleague who receives a call from her parents.
As long as she still has hope in the word mother, she cannot refuse Ming Xihua.
Jian Zhiyan was upset and had no choice but to call Jian Zhilei.
"elder brother."
Before the call was connected, she had already tried her best to hold in her nasal voice, but Jian Zhilei still saw through it in a second.
"Isn't today the day to have dinner with mom? What's wrong? Did you quarrel?"
"How could we quarrel?"
Jian Zhiyan smiled bitterly, quarreling was also a sign of attracting attention, so quarreling was a privilege given to her brother by her mother and did not belong to her.
"Mom came to talk to me about Baosheng's business," Jian Zhiyan said.
Jian Zhilei understood immediately: "How much does she want to increase the price?"
Jian Zhiyan mustered up his courage, as if he was the one who opened his mouth, full of shame.
"Add one more 0."
There was silence for a moment on the phone.
No one would be angry if this matter was left to them. Jian Zhiyan thought that her brother would definitely refuse, but she didn't know that he calmed down and said.
"Forget it, just add more. Mom's personality is that she will never give up until she achieves her goal. If she doesn't agree, it will only make her more troubled. This money will buy everyone a peace of mind."
Jian Zhilei did not forget to tell him, "This matter will be done in your name, without mentioning me."
"elder brother……"
Her brother paid her to be a good person, but Jian Zhiyan didn't know what to say.
Jian Zhiyan couldn't tell whether being someone else's weakness brings more happiness or guilt, but at this moment, the heartache is so sharp and distinct, like blood soaked in the sharp edge of a dagger that cuts through the heart, flowing slowly,
until it solidifies.
An inexplicable feeling of grievance arose spontaneously, and her sore nose could no longer hold her breath. Jian Zhiyan cried softly in the dim carriage.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
Jian Zhilei was extremely gentle, even a little puzzling: "What is there to be sorry for?"
Jian Zhiyan: "If the contract is with Lawyer Fan, mom may not be able to do anything. After all, she can't threaten Lawyer Fan. Just because it's me, you compromise-"
"Fool, mom wants money. Can a lawyer stop her? She comes to you, and she may not know that you will come to me. She is just using you to put pressure on me and me to contain you. This is what she is used to.
means."
"Don't you know her yet?"
"Moreover, when I originally asked Lawyer Fan to negotiate, I lowered the price a lot. Zuo Mansheng must have been very unhappy, so he killed a carbine and added an extra 0. At most, he was able to win back a victory. Let's
It’s not a big loss.”
Jian Zhilei never meant to hang up the phone. He stayed on the other end and comforted Jian Zhiyan in a low voice until the call had to be hung up.
Jian Zhilei was on a business trip and his schedule was very full. His secretary came over and over again. Finally, he comforted Jian Zhilei.
"What a terrible mother, you are not alone. I am also a part of it. Don't cry anymore. My brother is shouldering the burden with you."
…
This may be the most serious time Jian Zhiyan has ever reviewed a contract.
When she got home from the mall, she turned on the computer and kept looking up information, picking out words, and proofreading word for word, until eleven o'clock in the evening.
She had already changed the amount, but she felt uneasy because she was afraid that the contract she had reviewed was not professional enough and that Zuo Mansheng would take advantage of it.
So, Jian Zhiyan called Song Ange on WeChat, but waited and waited until two o'clock, and Song Ange didn't reply.
Song Ange has been a little busy recently, and they have had less contact recently.
Jian Zhiyan felt that it was not a problem to wait any longer, so she sent a message to Lu Yin.
【have you slept?】
Late at night, I didn't expect Lu Yin to be awake.
He replied very quickly, [What.]
Jian Zhiyan: [I would like to trouble you to read a contract for me.]
Lu Yin: [Can’t we only make an appointment once a week? I’ve already made an appointment this week. 】
Jian Zhiyan felt like she had been slapped in the face and needed to slow down before she could catch up, but at the same time, she felt very boring.
If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?
There is no lawyer anywhere in the world. The worst she can do is get up early tomorrow, go to a law firm and pay someone to read the contract. Isn’t it better than suffering this injustice?!
Jian Zhiyan put her cell phone aside and was about to pour a glass of water. She got up and walked halfway, but felt angry again and came back with murderous intent.
[So, once a week, I tell you that you are not full, right? 】
【So, you feel confident in asking someone else, right? 】
[If I had known you were playing so dirty, I shouldn’t have started with you. Now I don’t even know if I’m infected or not. 】
[There is no need for you to read the contract for me. I will go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow morning. Just wait and pay for my medical expenses!]
Jian Zhiyan slammed the phone on the bed, ran to the kitchen angrily, got a glass of ice water, and drank it down, barely dousing the unknown evil fire.
She returned to the bedroom, and her phone happened to be facing up, with the screen flashing.
There's a call coming in.
You knew who it was without even thinking about it. Jian Zhiyan, who had been shouting just now, suddenly didn't dare to come forward. She stood at the door and watched the phone flash until it went off.
The room suddenly became quiet, as if someone had just died. Jian Zhiyan slowly approached the edge of the bed, reached out and was about to touch the phone.
Sudden corpse fraud.
The phone started to flash again, and the two big characters "Lu Yin" looked like the face in a horror movie that was suddenly stuck on the window.
Jian Zhiyan's heart trembled, and with the anger of "Who is afraid of you", she answered the phone.
"Hey!" She was ready for a quarrel, but Lu Yin asked in a low voice with a smile.
"Jealous?"
Maybe I was a little bit jealous, but now... I don't seem that angry anymore.
Jian Zhiyan snorted, "She's not as good-looking as me, why should I be jealous."
Lu Yin said "hmm", which was equivalent to agreement.
But this is obviously not the point.
He still said, "The woman you saw is from Zhongjun Pictures. She is responsible for the scene production. When I went to the mall today, she borrowed my account and ordered a limited edition bag to be used as a prop. Half a year later, it will be in the movie.
