The next morning, Li Zhi was woken up by Xiaobing. It was already bright outside, but relatively speaking, Li Zhi and Goya slept relatively late.
"What's going on!" Li Zhi yawned, glanced at Goya, who was sleeping sideways, and turned around to ask.
Xiaobing said: "Miss Meng Ruping called just now. It seems that she has something urgent to discuss with you!"
"Meng Ruping?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment. She was one of the few women who would not let Li Zhi worry about it. If she was given a platform, she could continue to work conscientiously. For example, the current 'Luoxinglou Restaurant' was
She runs it very well.
The online reviews are very high. The Falling Star Restaurant is a luxury restaurant. For ordinary people, it is definitely a high-end restaurant.
In such a high-end place, Meng Ruping, a woman with only a junior high school education, has her own set of management systems and methods of doing things.
"What's the matter? Do you know?" Li Zhi looked at Xiaobing and asked.
Xiaobing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I think it would be better for you, boss, to call and inquire in person. Miss Meng Ruping seems to have never taken the initiative to call you!" After saying that, the little girl vomited first.
Tongue, retracted the head.
"You are the only one who has many things to do!" Li Zhi rolled his eyes at her and said with a smile, "Contact Meng Ruping!"
Just as Xiaobing said, Meng Ruping hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind and dialed Li Zhi's number. However, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered!
Sitting in the office, Meng Ruping's face was very pale, and she was a little at a loss. Many times, in the eyes of outsiders, perhaps her image was that of a sister who kept a smile on her face, and a sister who never talked to her employees in the restaurant.
A red-faced manager can get along with everyone sincerely, treat people sincerely, and can face any trials and difficulties.
But what about actually?
Strong women are also women, and they also need support, whether it is mentally or physically. Men are always the backing and arms of women.
In the past, Meng Ruping had never thought of asking Li Zhi to do anything for her, but now, she really didn't know who to turn to to solve the situation she encountered, so she could only contact Li Zhi.
Why doesn't this man answer his phone? Why!
Meng Ruping felt aggrieved, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes!
Buzz!
The mobile phone on the desk is vibrating!
Looking at the familiar names above, Meng Ruping couldn't help but shed tears without even realizing it!
To answer or not to answer?
Meng Ruping felt a little uneasy and also a little hesitant. After answering, what should she say? If she didn't answer, the other party would be impatient. After hanging up, she would never call again.
"Why are you crying?" Li Zhi looked at Meng Ruping and asked with a frown.
Meng Ruping even forgot to wipe the tears on her face, and she couldn't figure it out in her head. She was holding the phone in her hand, and it seemed that she didn't answer the call? How could it answer the call on its own?
"I'm asking you, why are you crying? That's what you said!" Li Zhi didn't know why, but he felt very uncomfortable when he saw Meng Ruping wiping her tears. He was either angry with Meng Ruping, or he felt
Yeah, something's not right.
Normally, Meng Ruping would only laugh. Even if she was wronged, her tears would only be swallowed into her stomach. How could she cry!
"It's okay!" Meng Ruping wiped the tears on her face, forced a smile on her face, and asked softly: "Boss, are you in Haicheng?"
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm in the Magic City. If you have anything to do, just tell me. It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. Even if I'm on Mars, I can still help you if you have something."
"..." Meng Ruping curled her lips.
Li Zhi glanced at Goya lying on the bed, got up and walked towards the bathroom.
"What's going on? Tell me. You know my temper. Don't make me angry. Don't lie to me. If nothing happens, you won't remember to call me." Li Zhi said with a wry smile.
In fact, it's not a big deal. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it's definitely not a big deal, but in Meng Ruping's eyes, it feels like the sky is falling!
Meng Ruping's family conditions are not good, and can even be said to be relatively poor, otherwise she would not have dropped out of school early to work.
Although both parents are still alive in the family, there are eight children, three older brothers, three younger sisters, and one younger brother.
Meng Ruping used to work outside. Before she met Li Zhi, her monthly income was only 4,000 yuan. She only kept a little of it, and the rest was used to supplement the family income. Among the three brothers in the family, only the eldest brother was married.
The remaining two brothers are waiting for money to marry a wife, and the following three sisters and one brother are still studying.
After going to the "Falling Star Tower" restaurant, Meng Ruping's life became stable and her income gradually increased.
While supplementing the family income, I also paid off the down payment of a loan and bought a small house in the city. It was considered a mortgage on a home, and I felt that I was living a very real life.
She also sent nearly 800,000 yuan to her home one after another. The money included bonus subsidies from the "Falling Star Tower" restaurant and money given to her by Li Zhi. When Li Zhi left last time, he gave her a
Ten million is said to be daily living expenses, so Meng Ruping is not short of money now.
The reason why I didn’t dare to send more money home was because I was afraid that others would take notice of me and my family would suffer a loss. With that 800,000 yuan, I have already renovated four houses. My parents live in it, my eldest brother’s house, and two more are waiting.
The two brothers each prepared a set for their wives, and the family also bought a passenger car. With Meng Ruping's support, life was getting better and better.
But there are always a few people in villages ten miles away who cannot see others living a good life. The life of the poor households in the village suddenly became better. How could others not be suspicious? In just a few months, the Meng family has undergone such a big change.
, so the rumors started.
Some people say that the eldest daughter of the Meng family is working as a young lady in Haicheng. Others say that Meng Ruping was taken care of by some wealthy boss in Haicheng, gave birth to a child, and became a mistress. Anyway, there is something to say, but there is no mention.
Human words.
It was okay at the beginning. People could say whatever they wanted. Meng Ruping was not afraid of the shadows as she was upright. The money she mailed home was all the income from Falling Star Tower. The card Li Zhi gave her contained
She hasn't touched any of the money, and she can't live up to her conscience.
As long as the life of the family is good, my brothers and sisters can marry wives, and my sisters can go to school, and find a better husband's family in the future, and I will suffer a little loss and suffer a little grievance, what does it matter!
But two days ago, something happened, which immediately made Meng Ruping feel bad. She didn't care about the gossip in the village, but she couldn't stand the distrust of her relatives at home!
Two days ago, Meng Ruping's father called her and his tone was very stern, telling her to resign immediately and go back to Haicheng. The family arranged a marriage for her and told her to get married when she got back, so as not to be embarrassed outside.
Meng Ruping worked hard, how could she not do it? She was afraid of poverty before. Although she didn't say it with her mouth, she had secretly vowed in her heart that she would never live such a miserable life again in the future.
If the manager of the Falling Star Tower Restaurant refuses to be a good manager, she should go back to find an ordinary farmer to get married and have children? Isn’t this a joke?
Meng Ruping refused without even thinking about it at the time.
But the next day, Meng Ruping received a call from her mother. She cried and complained about how her father couldn't hold his head up in the village and how he was not a good person. Meng Ruping also thought about her family.
Then the eldest brother and sister-in-law, especially her sister-in-law, spoke very unpleasantly.
Not even two days later, Meng Ruping received another call from her two brothers, especially her second brother, who scolded her directly, saying that she had taught a girlfriend, and because of her bad reputation, she was messing with her.
Well, this is all her fault.
Meng Ruping felt as if the sky had fallen. Almost all her relatives were saying bad things to her. No one understood her, and no one thought about the opportunities she needed to get to where she is today. They all just wanted to
Hold yourself.
Unable to bear it anymore, Meng Ruping thought of calling Li Zhi!
"Is this the case?" Li Zhi asked, touching his nose.
Meng Ruping stared and looked at Li Zhi without saying a word. Is it just this matter? Have you ever experienced the pain of betrayal and separation, or the pain of all your relatives scolding you? She almost drove her family members crazy.
It's obviously not her fault, but the shit basin has been forced on her head. No matter who it is, no one can stop it. But her family still doesn't trust Meng Ruping. Can she not be sad?
.
"My father said that if I didn't go back and accept the marriage arranged by my family, he would drink pesticide and commit suicide!"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "I understand. In this case, I will call your family and communicate with them personally. Do you think that's okay?" He smiled and said: "Stop being so depressed. How come this kind of thing has not happened so long ago?"
Call me and tell me? If I come forward, this is still a matter!"
"Can you convince my family?" Meng Ruping's eyes were filled with hope. If this little man couldn't convince her family, then she really didn't know who to ask to come forward!
"Don't worry, I can definitely convince them. What a big deal it is. Just wait for my good news. I'll call your dad right now!" After saying that, Li Zhi smiled and hung up the video call.
Holding the phone, Meng Ruping couldn't help but shed tears again, but this time they were tears of joy.
He muttered: "Little rascal, you haven't asked me what my home phone number is yet!"
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Li Zhi's face disappeared. Although he didn't know when the incident started, he could understand the pressure Meng Ruping had been under these past few days. He had also experienced it in the past.
.
Words are like knives, and rumors can kill people! That's true.
"Have you known this for a long time?" Li Zhi looked at Xiaobing and asked with a frown.
Xiaobing stuck out his tongue, with a timid look on his face. He honestly didn't dare to talk back. He should know that the boss was angry now!
Li Zhi took a deep breath to calm himself down and said: "If this happens again in the future, tell me immediately, no matter who it happens to, do you remember?"
"Remember!" Xiaobing nodded his head vigorously.
"Call Meng Ruping's family!"
Xiaobing blinked and asked, "Do you want to fight now?"
"Yes, fight now!" Li Zhi nodded.
As the life of Meng Ruping's family gets better and better, Meng Ruping's father's life becomes more and more nourishing.
Meng Ruping's father's name is Meng Dashan. In fact, the Meng family was a well-known wealthy landowner in the surrounding areas in the last century. However, Meng Ruping's family started to lose money from the generation of her grandfather.
There wasn't much left, especially from his father, who didn't pass on the good stuff and only learned the delicious food and lazy cooking from his father and grandfather.
Meng Ruping's mother was a well-educated and reasonable person. It turned out that her family was a close match with the Meng family. However, that era was full of turmoil. Meng Ruping's mother married Meng Dashan and took care of the family.
If Meng Ruping's father hadn't been too lazy, how could her life have been so miserable? Meng Ruping had three brothers. If the three brothers were capable, how could they still count on her sister to go out and make money to supplement the family income?
Not to mention what follows, although Li Zhi has never met Meng Ruping's father or his brothers, he definitely doesn't want to see them.
After his life got better, Meng Dashan returned to his previous lazy self, drinking wine every day, going out to play cards, and bragging with others.
The only thing that displeased him was that those friends outside secretly said that his daughter was acting inappropriately outside. She was either working as a mistress or a young lady. They also said that when she got back, she would pay back the money and have some fun.
Meng Dashan was very embarrassed if he was like that.
In addition, not long ago, someone set a trap for Meng Dashan, and this led to the next conversation between the family.
From Meng Dashan's point of view, no matter what his eldest daughter is doing outside, her family's fortune has been established anyway, and her family is rich, so why are she still suffering such crimes outside? Wouldn't it be better to come back and live a stable life with her in-laws?
.
After all, she is his daughter, so Meng Dashan may not have any evil intentions. As for what kind of life his daughter will lead outside, he really doesn’t know. Let alone him, Meng Ruping’s three brothers feel embarrassed and have not come to the sea.
I have seen the city.
I was thinking of tricking Meng Ruping back first, and then talking about other things. My family has hundreds of thousands of dollars, so at least I don't have to worry about marrying my three sons.
Li Zhi had not yet contacted Meng Ruping's father, Meng Ruping from Haicheng, but first received a call from his little sister.
Meng Ruping has a total of three sisters and one younger brother. The younger brother ranks fifth. She is the only college student in the family. Although she only went to a junior college, she is a college student after all. She has won a lot of face for Meng Dashan and is also the most popular with her father.
Meng Dashan likes it.
The sixth child is called Meng Rumei, who is in the third year of high school. The seventh child is called Meng Ruyu. She is also in high school, but in the second year of high school. Only the eighth child, Meng Ruxue, is the youngest. She is only sixteen years old this year. She is in the third year of junior high school, but Meng Ruyu.
Ru Xue was brought up by Meng Ruping. Among the several brothers and sisters, the relationship between the two sisters is the best!
"Sister, you must not come back. I heard that someone was a matchmaker for me and wanted to introduce Liu Guaizi from the town to you." Meng Ruxue called Meng Ruping and informed her. She hoped that her eldest sister would stay in Hainan.
Cheng, don’t come back, and I also hope that my eldest sister can live a good life, because she has been the only one who loves her the most since she was a child.
Meng Ruping was stunned for a moment, and the smile that had just recovered turned pale again. She reluctantly comforted Meng Ruping and asked, "How did you know the news? Whose mobile phone did you call?"
"Isn't it homecoming week yesterday? I went back and listened to what my sister-in-law said. I borrowed my cell phone from a classmate. You must not be stupid and come back. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. It's a waste of money.
If you pay the phone bill, your classmates will be unhappy!"
The phone has been hung up!
Holding the mobile phone, Meng Ruping's face turned green and white, but she felt helpless in her heart! (To be continued)
