During the debate, Chen watched Tang Zhihua from a distance.
At that time, Luo Qiuyi, who always punched her relatives and punched the sky and the ground, was punching her little cousin, the beast Xiaozhi.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, Tang Zhihua, Luo Qiuyi's boyfriend, stepped forward to resolve the embarrassment, saying some shabby homophonic jokes that Brother Tang and cousin Tang also opposed, but what could not be hidden was the kindness in his heart.
At that time, Xiaozhi thought that her cousin's boyfriend was quite good, and that being with Luo Qiuyi would be a waste of time.
Chen Zui thought so too, but he didn't expect to meet Tang Zhihua today, in the current sales office, and it was Zhao Xiaokai who brought him.
He didn't know how Zhao Xiaokai and Tang Zhihua met, and he also forgot that one of the franchisees of East China College rebelled and established a new one.
But he did give a solution at that time, which was to find another person to join and go against Jia Chaoliang.
The market share of small shops is already so large, and there is no profit left at all. Don't even give Jia Chaoliang another look.
Later, he never asked about the follow-up to the incident.
In fact, Zhao Xiaokai did listen to his advice and found another one to join him.
This franchise is Tang Zhihua.
Tang Zhihua and Luo Qiuyi were not in the same school. He was studying at East China College. During the debate, he was shocked when he heard Chen Zui's sentence that "everything has cracks, that's where the light comes in."
After knowing that Luo Qiuyi was his cousin, he also made it clear that he wanted to be friends with Chen Zu.
But obviously, his girlfriend didn't want him to be friends with Chen Zu. Once the debate was over, the matter was over.
Of course, Tang Zhihua would not deliberately make friends with Chen Zui just because of a chicken soup, but he did always have the intention of doing small business. He told Xiaozhi before that there was no shame in handing out leaflets, and he was definitely sincere.
So when the small shop of East China University was looking for an agent, he met Zhao Xiaokai.
But at this time, he did not know that his boss was Chen Zui, and Luo Qiuyi had never told him.
Later, the milk tea activity started. Once I was chatting with Zhao Xiaokai at a milk tea stall outside East China College, and then I found out that the boss was my girlfriend’s cousin.
It was no coincidence that Tang Zhihua and Chen Zui, who had to go to the warehouse to pick up goods almost every other day, never met.
But today is really a coincidence.
The two met by chance on the street where Zhao Xiaokai was recruiting part-time workers. At that time, Tang Zhihua said he wanted to come to the city to buy a laptop.
Zhao Xiaokai had nothing to do anyway, so he said he knew about computers and went to the city with him.
After the two of them bought notebooks at the Computer City, they planned to have dinner together.
Zhao Xiaokai thought that Chen Zuo had gone home today and should be in the city, so he called him, and that's why the scene happened now.
But, after the two people came in.
Zhao Xiaokai, who has been educated since he was a child and has a high understanding of interpersonal relationships and emotions, immediately saw something was wrong.
I looked around and saw Tang Zhihua, who was not as handsome as me and Chen, but at least he had good features and a clean-cut appearance.
Then he looked at the girl next to Chen Zui, who was obviously a relative.
There is a story
…
The story between Tang Zhihua and Luo Qiuyi is that Luo Qiuyi did not know that he had become an agent for a small store.
Because Tang Zhihua knew that Luo Qiuyi looked down on small businessmen and hawkers, and did not like such people who did business.
The two of them are not in the same school, so they have been coming here for the past twenty days, and Luo Qiuyi has been kept in the dark.
Therefore, at this moment, Tang Zhihua, who was beside Zhao Xiaokai, felt guilty for some reason.
Maybe he did something his girlfriend didn't like, and it was wrong for him as his boyfriend.
But then he thought about it, what era is this? How many years has the market economy been, and he has not done anything harmful to the world? There is nothing shameful about making money with his hands, so he straightened his back again, smiled at Luo Qiuyi, and said
Chen Zui nodded.
"Third brother!"
Zhao Xiaokai shouted and then walked over.
Tang Zhihua followed closely behind. Although he was Luo Qiuyi's boyfriend, when he saw the big boss for the first time, he always raised his hand, so he opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Chen."
Chen was a little confused when he heard this title.
Wang Xinyue, who had been chatting next to her, glanced at Chen Zui.
Chen Zui's pretentious words when he took out his bank card just now were enough to make her take a high look, after all, he was so young.
Now listening to Tang Zhihua's title, I understand that maybe I underestimated him after he thought highly of him.
This year is not yet 2022, it is not yet an era of buses and a bunch of directors and bosses in the subway station, talking on the phone and bragging about hundreds of millions of transactions.
Although there is a slight tendency to spread, but that is in developed cities in the south. In the north, in 2008, it can be called a general one, and it must be more or less real.
When my aunt heard this, she felt very happy.
Thinking that Chen Zui is really promising.
When my aunt heard it, she felt a little ridiculous.
Becoming the boss at a young age?
I made a little money and it went away, haha
From this point of view, Luo Qiuyi is somewhat following her roots.
Of course, at this moment, it was Luo Qiuyi who was in the most complicated mood.
Seeing her boyfriend calling her cousin Mr. Chen, she didn't know what to say.
At the same time, countless questions popped up in my mind, why did Tang Zhihua come here, how did he and Chen Zui know each other, or were they his subordinates?
What on earth is going on?
It's a coincidence.
Or was it arranged deliberately by Chen Zu?
Just to bury yourself?
…
Everything in this world has two sides.
Only when there is badness can there be good meaning; only when there is ugliness can we know that beauty is so beautiful.
People with light in their eyes will see the positive side of everything.
People who only have dark eyes will think of dark corners when they look at anything.
Luo Qiuyi's brainstorming was still biased toward the latter, thinking that all of this should not be a coincidence, but was all carefully designed by Chen.
She would not have thought that someone who could earn a house in more than 20 days would have time to plot against her.
She just felt something was wrong.
I think this is what I thought.
So his face instantly became extremely ugly.
Of course, Tang Zhihua and Zhao Xiaokai greeted Chen Zui and then looked at his girlfriend.
A very sunny grin: "Qiu Yi."
Aunt: "???"
The aunt looked at her daughter, then at the young man in front of her who was obviously Chen's subordinate, and raised her eyebrows: "Know her?"
Luo Qiuyi nodded, and then introduced: "Tang Zhihua."
"Hello, aunt."
It was obvious that Tang Zhihua was somewhat similar to Luo Qiuyi. There was a high probability that Tang Zhihua was her future mother-in-law, so she leaned forward slightly and bowed slightly.
The aunt who also noticed something was wrong asked: "You guys?"
"I am"
Before Tang Zhihua could introduce himself.
Luo Qiuyi took the lead: "Just a classmate."
Although Chen Zui doesn't like Luo Qiuyi, he still has a good impression of Tang Zhihua.
But as an outsider, he would not get involved blindly in other people's emotional matters.
But after hearing Luo Qiuyi's answer, Tang Zhihua had some doubts in his eyes.
Without him asking, the aunt just said: "Real classmate?"
Luo Qiuyi actually likes Tang Zhihua, otherwise she would not have pursued him after meeting him through a friend in college and quickly established a relationship.
But at this moment, she immediately emphasized without any hesitation: "You are just an ordinary classmate."
She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of her own mother, aunt and Chen Zui.
But after Chen saw Luo Qiuyi's words most clearly, Tang Zhihua's eyes dimmed.
Of course the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Zhao Xiaokai is Zhao Xiaokai after all.
He had noticed something strange before, but now that he was aware of it, he immediately said: "Third brother, please introduce me. I like chatting with elders."
Chen Zui smiled when he heard this: "This is my aunt, this is my aunt, my cousin Luo Qiuyi."
"Zhao Xiaokai, my roommate, partner, and brother."
Zhao Xiaokai said happily: "Hello aunt, hello aunt, hello cousin. Didn't I say that I want to buy a house? Have you finished buying it?"
Chen Zui: "My mother went back to get her certificate. She will be back in a moment."
Zhao Xiaokai: "Yeah, is there a bathroom here? I have to clean up. I like chatting with my mother the most."
…
Zhao Xiaokai mixed it up.
At least there is nothing wrong on the surface that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
But an undercurrent is surging between Tang Zhihua and Luo Qiuyi.
It didn't take long for Chen's mother to return to the sales office, and then, under the guidance of Wang Xinyue, she took Chen Zui to the finance department to pay the rent.
My aunt also happened to have a third emergency at this time and went to the bathroom.
So, Luo Qiuyi, who had long been impatient, said to Tang Zhihua: "Go out and have a chat?"
Tang Zhihua nodded and followed closely. She stood up and walked out of the sales office first, with the intention of launching an attack.
At the table where there was a group of people just now, Zhao Xiaokai and his aunt were the only ones left.
The two of them didn't have nothing to talk about.
Zhao Xiaokai is good at coaxing aunties, especially after knowing that the person in front of her is the mother of Beast Xiaozhi.
He wasn't very familiar with Xiaozhi, but he never understood why his cousin Chen Zui always grinned at him.
I caught your mother today
Do you think I won’t treat you submissively in the future?
He went to get a glass of water and handed it to his aunt. Zhao Xiaokai moved his stool and sat next to his aunt. He also followed Chen Zui and shouted: "Aunt, is Xiaozhi your son?"
When the aunt heard about her son, she nodded of course: "Yes, do you know each other?"
"Didn't Chen say the least? We are partners. I am his partner. How can I not know Xiaozhi?"
"That's right."
"I'm telling you, auntie, this kid Xiaozhi may have endured hardship, but everyone likes him."
"Really."
"Really, why did I lie to you? Xiaozhi and I have a very good relationship. I've heard him always praise you before."
…
Chen Zui and Chen’s mother were busy paying the rent.
Zhao Xiaokai is busy fooling his aunt and wants to straighten out Xiao Zhi in the future.
On the late autumn street outside the sales office here, Tang Zhihua and Luo Qiuyi came outside and looked at each other, feeling a little strange.
What's unfamiliar to Tang Zhihua is that although you don't have to confess to your parents about falling in love in college, after all, you are present, and you, Luo Qiuyi, can accept it even if you feel a little embarrassed or not so straightforward.
But just now Luo Qiuyi's answer was not just that of an ordinary classmate, she seemed to dislike him as an ordinary classmate.
What was strange to Luo Qiuyi was that she found that she seemed to have no idea what her boyfriend was doing.
Therefore, when Tang Zhihua stood still, she immediately performed three consecutive moves:
"What did you do behind my back?"
"Why is it called Chen Zui, Mr. Chen?"
"Did Chen Zui's friend ask you to show up here today?"
Tang Zhihua blinked, listening to his girlfriend's unkind tone, and replied: "I am the agent of Chen Zui's small shop in our school."
"What's wrong with you!"
"Wouldn't it be better to find a good job after graduation?"
"I told you a long time ago that there is no big future in small business. I told you to go to school well. Why didn't you listen? How much can you make from a small shop?"
Before putting it aside, I must have been able to make some money, etc.
But today, Chen Zui spent her own money to buy a house, which shattered her long-held solid understanding with facts.
But even so, it didn't stop her from being able to change her heartfelt contempt in a short period of time.
And faced with this series of words from her.
Tang Zhihua frowned: "No, what's wrong? Isn't it bad to make money by yourself?"
"You are willing to go and make money there, but you can't make it under Chen Zui. I can't afford to lose this person!"
Tang Zhihua: "I didn't know he was the owner of a small store before. When we were talking about joining the franchise, we were talking to Zhao Xiaokai. Besides, why are you so embarrassed?"
Luo Qiuyi stared at the sales office and pointed at the sales office: "There are all my relatives there. Isn't it shameful for my boyfriend to work for my cousin? I want them to know that you are my boyfriend. How will I face it in the future?
They, the base of their tongues must not be chewed?"
gossip
I always feel that others will chew the back of my tongue too
There's nothing wrong with Luo Qiuyi's thinking.
But to Tang Zhihua, this seems to be a disease.
They were actually very good when they first got together.
After all, in the beginning of a relationship, they are hiding each other and only showing their good sides.
But as time went on, Tang Zhihua actually felt that his and Luo Qiuyi's views were not quite compatible.
Many small things reflect this, Xiaozhi was like this that time, and this time as well, and there were some other things that happened between him and his friends.
But even so, Tang Zhihua, who was enjoying the sweetness of love, still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem before.
until today.
I know now
His brows became darker and darker, and the more he looked at Luo Qiuyi, the stranger he felt.
She is not at all the girl who was so sweet and considerate of him when we first met.
He asked: "I don't quite understand why you care so much about what your relatives think of you. Besides, the relationship between Chen Zui and I is not between boss and subordinate. He is indeed the boss, but we are a cooperative relationship and I am the agent.
"
"You are not an agent. You are inferior to others anyway. You should stop doing this starting tomorrow."
"????"
"Do you have to work in a small shop?"
"It's not that I have to do this. I don't have to do it, but it can't be because I am inferior to others."
"I don't want to argue with you!"
"I don't want to argue with you either."
"Anyway, if you want to keep going, we'll have to go somewhere else!"
Luo Qiuyi gave Tang Zhihua a sharp look and said her harsh words.
Of course, this is both true and false. It is true that she does not want Tang Zhihua to follow Chen Zui, but it is false that she wants to go elsewhere.
Although he and Tang Zhihua seemed to be unfamiliar with each other in front of his mother before, in fact, they didn't like each other, so how could they be together.
After saying this, Luo Qiuyi felt that it was a bit heavy, and she even made up for it: "Let me tell you Tang Zhihua, maybe you are here today because my cousin and his friends deliberately arranged to bury me. Don't act like you are blind."
Yeah, I can’t tell who are the good guys and the bad guys.”
Tang Zhihua shook his head: "Xiao Kai and I met on the street and came to the city together. How could it be arranged?"
"Maybe they already knew you were there and bumped into you on purpose."
"Unreasonable."
"I'm telling you, don't believe it, my second aunt and that Chen are the most evil."
Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, Tang Zhihua felt disgusted in his heart.
He raised his hand: "Stop"
"Let me finish, you are honest and don't know what's going on here."
Tang Zhihua didn't want to look at Luo Qiuyi in front of him, so he lowered his head and let her talk about a series of things that he heard in both ears.
When Luo Qiuyi finally finished speaking, she looked at him who said nothing and asked, "I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
At this time, Tang Zhihua asked himself three questions in his heart.
After getting the answer, he raised his head and took a deep breath: "Let's break up."
"ah?"
"I said, let's break up."
"Zhihua, no"
"Didn't you just mention it? I think we are indeed a bit inappropriate."
After saying this, Tang Zhihua lowered his head again, and his whole body seemed to suddenly become dwarfed and slumped.
The Luo Qiuyi in front of him still had the same look that he didn't understand and hate just now. What was she talking about?
He didn't listen and walked straight back to the sales office.
echoed behind him.
"Tang Zhihua!"
The door is closed.
Seeing Tang Zhihua walking back to the sales office in despair, Luo Qiuyi, whose eyes were really red, stood outside without moving.
It wasn't that she didn't want to hold him, but she was also lost.
Break up with the person you like.
She will be touched even by someone she thinks she is.
Thinking about everything I experienced on this day.
She raised her head and suddenly realized that the world was dark
