She said: "Because you are sincere and not fake at all. Feng Xiao, you know that I have been in the shopping mall for so many years, playing tricks with people in the business world all day long, and at the same time...
I have to constantly guard against other people's deceptions. It's so tiring. But being with you is different. I feel very relaxed. I don't need to guard against anything. I can say whatever I want, even if I have financial dealings with you.
Worry. Really good.
I said: "Xiangru, this is actually mutual. I remember that when we first met, I was attracted by your style. You are very honest and do things without any sloppiness. You just do what you want.
.So I had a very good impression of you at that time.”
She shook her head and said: "This is my minimum principle of doing business. And you said that Kangdemao introduced me to you at that time. Wasn't Kangdemao not very sincere to me at that time?"
From what she just said, I immediately understood: in her heart, she actually still cares about Kang Demao, but now that care has turned into hatred.
I said: "Xiangru, you, Demao and I are fellow villagers. I think it is fate that we can meet each other. What's more, we are still very good friends? So Xiangru, I really hope that we can all care about our past.
Don't forget the feelings you have had, let alone turn our former friendship into a kind of hatred. Human life is actually very short, and many things are just that after you think about it. But friendship is the most important
Yes, it can accompany us throughout our lives. I think that even when we get old in the future, we will still feel that this kind of friendship is worth remembering and cherishing it more. Do you think so?"
She sighed, "I know. Feng Xiao, actually I'm just reminding you. Not everyone will think like you do. Feng Xiao, you are such a kind-hearted person. I'm really worried that you will suffer in the future."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Is being too kind-hearted also a shortcoming?"
She said: "If a person has a good heart, it is often you who gets hurt. You may also do bad things with good intentions. Isn't this a shortcoming?"
I shook my head, "I still believe that there are many kind-hearted people in this world. If I can do many things, why not help others? I am a doctor, and doctors are like parents. I have become a habit by considering other people's feelings more.
"
She smiled and said: "You are right. But you still have to pay attention to some aspects. Sometimes it is necessary to be more careful."
I nodded, "That's right, I'm not someone who tries to act like a good guy everywhere. I just do what I can."
We chatted for a while, and then Dong Jie came in and said, "We may not be able to do it today, it's too late."
I said, "Let's do it tomorrow. Call me when you're done."
Ning Xiangru said: "That's it. By the way, you ask the financial officer to bring it to me for signature."
I stood up immediately and said, "Xiangru, thank you. I have to go, there are friends waiting for me."
She also stood up and stretched out her hand towards me. I held her hand and felt the softness and warmth in my hand.
"Xiaojie, I'll give you Brother Feng." She immediately said to Dong Jie next to her.
I hurriedly said: "Don't be so polite." I was thinking: Why is it still "Brother Feng"?
But Dong Jie still sent me out. Of course I knew that Ning Xiangru did this on purpose. After arriving outside Ning Xiangru's office, I turned around and said to Dong Jie softly: "That's it, I'll wait for your call tomorrow. Finally.
It's better to go earlier."
She whispered: "Yeah."
I smiled gently at her, "Thank you. Goodbye."
She looked at me and hesitated to speak. I pretended not to see it, then turned around and left quickly. When I got to the car, I started to call Kangdemao.
However, before he finished dialing his number, a call came in. It was Hong Ya, "Feng Xiao, are you off work?"
I said: "Yeah."
She said: "I don't want to cook at home, it's so troublesome. Let's eat outside. Is that okay?"
I left first and was in a better mood, "Hongya, let's go shopping together and then cook together when we get back. Is that okay?"
She suddenly said excitedly, "Great. Where are you?"
I said, "I'll drive over right away, and then let's go out together. We can just buy some at the vegetable market near the community."
She said: "Okay, I'll wait for you. You are so kind. I want to like you very much tonight."
My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the blood in my body immediately began to surge.
I almost forgot to call Kangdemao. But when I thought about it, I suddenly remembered something: Ning Xiangru’s name was written on that card! If Kangdemao knew that the money was from me from Ning Xiangru
What would you think if you borrowed it there?
After thinking for a moment, Wei Wei came up with a solution. Then he started to call him.
"De Mao, I will give you your money first. I will bring you the card tomorrow." I said to him after the call was connected. I didn't dare to tell him the result of my conversation with Tao Tao, but I wanted to
, as long as he has money on hand, it will be easy.
However, he said: "Why are you in such a hurry? I don't need the money for the time being."
I was immediately puzzled, "Are you rich? This is your money to begin with?"
He said: "I really don't want it. Feng Xiao, this is my most critical period. If there is suddenly an extra amount of money in my account, people will be suspicious. Do you understand what I mean?"
I think what he said makes sense, but... I thought about it and said: "De Mao, it's best if you don't pay for anything these days. Having more money on hand is useful after all. I'm not stuck.
Write your name on it, or just pay a cash check."
But he still said honestly: "It's really not needed. Let's leave the money with you. We'll talk about it later. Feng Xiao, I have something else to do. You can walk slowly tomorrow and come back early. That's it."
Then he hung up the phone. I was dumbfounded while holding the phone, and then I felt very uncomfortable: As a result, I had been busy for a long time and was already busy.
I wanted to call Ning Xiangru right away, but I was worried that Kang Demao would suddenly want the money tomorrow. After all, the Tao Tao matter has not been resolved? So, after hesitation, I gave up the call.
.
Parking the car downstairs, Hongya heard my voice outside and immediately came out of the villa. She was dressed very simply and casually, just a gray sportswear. She has a good figure.
, the heavy sportswear did not make her look bloated.
She came over and took my arm, "Let's go shopping."
My heart suddenly felt warm, and a feeling of home that I had not seen for a long time suddenly came to my heart.
The vegetable market is a little deserted. After all, it is almost six o'clock in the afternoon. Moreover, this is a villa community, and the residents are rich people. What do rich people do? I think most of them are idlers, and most rich people are afraid
So I got up early in the morning and went for a run to exercise. When I came back, I went to the vegetable market to take some food home. People like Hong Ya and I are rare in this community.
After walking around in the vegetable market, Hong Ya and I suddenly became bored because there was almost nothing that aroused our desire to buy.
I said: "Forget it, let's go out to eat."
She said: "How disappointing!" Then her eyes lit up, "Feng Xiao, let's go to the supermarket. There is also a vegetable market in the supermarket, and it doesn't close until after nine o'clock in the evening. I just want to cook with you today.
"
My heart suddenly felt tender, "Okay, let's go to the supermarket."
There were a lot of people in the supermarket. Living in a community like this, people like to come here. I suddenly became confused, so I asked the owner of the hand in my arm: "Tell me, who was in the vegetable market just now?"
How do you make money? It seems like everyone here is in this supermarket."
She immediately laughed, "Are you stupid? As for the Chinese, we Chinese are all used to going to the farmer's market to buy vegetables, and then go home and cook them ourselves. No matter how rich people are, they all like this. This is tradition and cannot be changed.
People are not willing to change. Moreover, many women in our community often bargain with the vegetable sellers. Fifty cents per catty? Too expensive. Can’t forty-five cents work? Okay, two catties. After returning home, a few people played mahjong.
I lost two hundred yuan in a hand of cards without blinking an eye. Haha!"
I also laughed, "People who buy groceries must think those women are rich and unkind."
But she shook her head and said, "What? This is how you have to buy groceries. Bargaining is the fun of shopping."
I immediately started laughing, "It's only you women who are too lazy to do that. Hong Ya, what about you? Do you like to bargain with the vendors when buying vegetables?"
She smiled and said: "Of course. It's just that I don't come here to buy food often. But to be honest, I seem to only feel real when I go to the food market. In fact, many rich people have only come here in the past few years.
Those who have become rich feel so empty that sometimes they can't even believe that they have become rich. So only after going to the vegetable market can they find their former selves."
I was convinced because what she said was completely in line with people’s psychology, so I immediately smiled and said, “It makes sense.”
In fact, I have also thought about this kind of thing. Although a person's wealth is a manifestation of success and ability, there is no need to show it excessively in front of others. Because I always think that money sometimes seems very ethereal.
It came when the time came, but it might not disappear one day. For example, when Kang Demao encountered such a thing, wouldn't more than one million be gone in one fell swoop? You know,
There are countless people in our world who will never earn more than one million in their lifetime.
I couldn't help but think of the sports car I saw roaring by while waiting for the bus on the street that night. I thought at that time that the driver in that car must be the child of a rich man. Because only people who get something for nothing can be so vulgar and presumptuous.
.And it is those vulgar and presumptuous people who have triggered the hostility of the poor in this society towards the rich. What's more, not every rich man gets his money so legitimately. (To be continued)
