Long time no see, Mr. Qin

Chapter 18 Between us, like vines and trees (5)

"So many? Then you have to wait. There are so many materials to be printed right now, I can't be busy at the moment." The expression was cold and indifferent, with a hint of arrogance that couldn't be expressed, in short, the arc of the corner of the mouth It makes people look extremely uncomfortable.

"That's troublesome. If you're ready, call my office and I'll come down to pick it up."

"Hmm." The other party still had that indifferent attitude.

I turned around and went out, and as soon as I got to the door, I saw Xu Jiahui from the Finance Department come in with a twisted waist, and when he saw me, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, isn't this our Manager Su? I heard you're going to resign, right? Sigh , I think so, otherwise it would be embarrassing. I believe that with the ability of our Manager Su, we can find a better job. Don’t you think so, Xiao Huang?” After finishing speaking, he handed over the documents in his hand, “Xiao Huang, Print this for me, hurry up, use it in a hurry.”

"Okay, I'll call right away, about... 10 minutes... no, 10 minutes."

I sneered, "Director Xu, I haven't noticed that you care about me so much on weekdays. I'm really touched. But if you don't apply so much powder on your face, I think you will definitely let me know when you say these words." I would be more grateful, otherwise..." I paused, squinted my eyes, and looked her face up and down, "It really makes me lose my appetite." Paying attention to the expression on her face, she strode out.

My back is very straight, and I never show weakness in front of people, because showing weakness is useless.After so many years of struggling in this society, I have long understood this truth.

I remember the time when Qin Ziyang doted on me so much, Xiao Huang’s flattering face when printing the materials, one mouthful of Sister Su’s on the left and the other mouthful of Sister Su’s, wishing to treat me like a real sister. But now, hehe.

I didn't go straight back to the marketing department - the atmosphere wasn't much better there either.Turning around and going into the bathroom, when standing in front of the mirror where no one was there, the face that was so strong finally collapsed.I turned on the faucet and quickly washed my face a few times. When I looked up, I saw myself wryly smiling in the mirror with water all over my face.

"Qin Ziyang, you gave me the highest honor, but you threw me into the lowest valley..."

I didn't have much appetite when I was eating at noon, Cheng Shan looked at me forking rice, and gave me a blank look.

"You have a grudge against it, and it's almost killed by you."

"No, I'm just thinking about it."

"What's the problem? Let's hear it." She took a bite of beef and put it in her mouth, eating with relish.

"I'm thinking, this person changes as soon as he says he wants to, so fast. He looks the same in front of you, but he doesn't know what will happen when he turns around."

"That's right, this society is very realistic. What you said is still good. Many times I treat you the same way today, but after a few days you can't do it and... hey? I said sisters, shouldn't you be treated by others today? Are you bullying?" Cheng Shan said quickly.

"It's not a matter of bullying, it's just a feeling."

"I don't feel like I was bullied. Tell me what's wrong. Is it Qin Ziyang's childhood sweetheart's new love..."

"It's not all. The rumors about me and him have already spread. After all, this paper can't contain the fire. After following him, the fire rose to tens of thousands of miles, and now it's a fire. It suddenly fell down. But everyone will not let you go out like this, they will definitely pour a bucket of oil at the last pass, when the flames are getting thinner, yes, it is a bucket of oil, maybe there is still water in it There is gunpowder."

Cheng Shan put down her chopsticks and stopped picking up her favorite beef. She came over, sat next to me, and patted me on the shoulder, "Let's not think about it. Whatever they say, you just treat it like a fart. No, it’s worse than farts, at least farts still smell.”

Puchi.

I was amused by her words, and I laughed, and the corners of my eyes became blurred for some reason.I leaned on her shoulder and said softly, "Thank you Cheng Shan, I'm fine, really... it will pass, I can hold on."

The next day, I finally saw Qin Ziyang, no, it wasn't him, it was his car, that cool Jaguar.

The Jaguar that has carried me countless times once sat there, and I lingered with him, joked, bickered, and laughed.

Once upon a time...

Taking a deep breath, I took the resignation letter and went up to the top floor.Seeing that it was me, the secretary smiled habitually, but seemed to feel something was wrong, so he immediately took it back, and the smile stuck on his face and froze there.The look of smiling or not made me take back the words I was about to say, and the usual jokes just got stuck in my throat.In the end, without saying anything, I nodded and entered Qin Ziyang's office.

When he heard the door knock, he frowned, seeing that it was me, his face became tense.

"Why don't you knock? It's common sense to knock when you come in."

His voice was so cold, I felt like my whole body was frozen into pieces, and I didn't know how I got there.

"No need, I know you don't want to see me, and I hope to get out of here quickly. This is a letter of resignation."

I handed the letter to him, he glanced at it, didn't have any special expression, crossed his hands on the table, paused and said: "That money should be enough for your life, Su Nianjin, I wish you good luck."

"Thank you."

It was not as difficult as I thought, and it ended so simply.

When I walked on the wide road, I felt that everything these days was like a dream. Sometimes I didn’t want to wake up, sometimes I felt that I shouldn’t wake up, and sometimes someone else took a dream. The knife is forcing you to wake up.

But, fortunately, he woke up.

Before going home at night, I went to the supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients, and cooked a table of meals as a celebration.As for what to celebrate, the beginning of my new life?A possible new romance?Or the 500 million I got from this relationship that I may not be able to earn even if I work all my life?

Oh, 500 million is really a lot.Perhaps in this society, women who have experienced how difficult it is to earn money will secretly envy me, and they wish to go through these hardships for me, just for the 500 million.

However, those who have never experienced it will never know how painful it is.

It was so painful that when the night came, one person bit the corner of the quilt and sobbed fiercely, and endured this period of broken love and child loss.

It was so painful that I wanted to stab myself.

I wandered the streets alone, not knowing what to do.I wanted to call Cheng Shan and ask her out to go shopping, but halfway through the call, I realized that she was still going to work. I couldn't help but hold the phone tightly, closed it, and stared at the red cover in a daze.

After being dazed, I took out a bank card from my wallet, which contained a seven-digit deposit, starting with 5 and followed by six zeros.

Holding it, I entered the largest LV store in the city.The storefront is very luxurious. To open such an LV boutique in such an expensive place in the city center requires a lot of money.I walked in, and the lady at the counter looked me up and down, then lowered her head and continued with the work in hand.No one came forward to greet me, let alone introduce me.

I think, it doesn't matter, because I don't have a famous brand on my body.At this moment, I felt that I was going too simply. I should fucking take away all the jewelry, clothes, and expensive luxury goods that Qin Ziyang gave me. Even if they were sold, they would still be worth a lot of money, wouldn't they?

"What are the latest clothes? Show me."

"It's all here, all the latest ones on the market." The voice of the lady at the counter was extremely sweet and earnest. I didn't need to turn around to guess what kind of woman was standing behind me—it must be a full body brand , with elegant manners, and perhaps a good temperament and extraordinary beauty, you must know that money can definitely create beauty and temperament.

It's just that I haven't turned my head, I haven't, because I saw a familiar figure in the side mirror, and he saw me too.From the mirror, our eyesight intersected, just like that on the plane to Hong Kong, our eyesight overlapped and intersected in the glass.

His expression was still calm, and he still looked aloof, it seemed that even if there was a fairy standing beside him, he would still have the same attitude.

But even so, I also know that he is unhappy, and it seems that this unhappiness is because of me.

"What a coincidence." He came over and greeted me generously.

I was wondering, didn't it mean that when a man is standing next to his new lover, he is eager to leave the relationship with his ex-lover?It seems that Qin Ziyang is really different, he doesn't care, he doesn't care what the woman who is his new love thinks of him.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

"Don't Miss Su feel tired doing this?"

"Tired?" I didn't realize what he meant by tired, but his address to me made me feel a lump in my chest for no reason.Miss Su, what a strange name, it should be for someone who is not familiar with him, and he and I have known how many moles on each other, and we know exactly which parts of each other are the most sensitive.He was once one with me, but now he is terribly foreign.It feels weird and disgusting.

After a while, when I realized it, I couldn't help but sneered. It turned out that he thought I came here with him.

"I think you're thinking too much. I'm here to buy some clothes. Or, Young Master Qin, give me the key again, and I'll go to your place to get those clothes, cosmetics, and bags? Anyway, Young Master Qin, you don't lack any , and I am very lacking."

After hearing what I said, Qin Ziyang didn't show any anger or contempt in his eyes, he just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled indifferently.

"If I remember correctly, Ms. Su just received 500 million in cash, why, did she spend it all so soon?"

"Money, no one thinks it's too much. Besides, Young Master Qin also knows that 500 million is not too much these days, and it's not too much. It depends on how to use it."

"Then how dare you ask Ms. Su how to use it?"

"Hehe, we don't know each other well, so I'm sorry I can't tell you."

At this time, Qin Ziyang's new love had already come out of the fitting room, wearing a gray turtleneck sweater and a special LV brooch.

"Ziyang, what do you think of this one?"

"suitable for you."

"is it beautiful?"

A woman looks like someone who pleases herself, and at this time the woman's face is full of strange brilliance.With just one glance, I knew she loved Qin Ziyang, and the women around him were really good.Rich people are like this. They are always surrounded by a bunch of women, so they can spend so recklessly. Anyway, after you leave, there are others, who are sure to be prettier, younger, and more charming than you.

"pretty."

Qin Ziyang didn't look at her at all, and seemed to respond perfunctorily, but his gaze was staring at me from the beginning to the end, but I could see that there was no previous obsession in it, and it had nothing to do with love, maybe it was just curiosity, Maybe I'm a little different.

After that day, I wanted to understand a lot of things. Their circle is not something we can adapt to, even women who are well-matched, let alone a wild flower on the roadside like me?After the novelty is over, no matter how you look at it, you will not be able to climb into the elegant hall. Even if you let me climb up, I will probably die of exhaustion.

The next day I asked Cheng Shan out to say goodbye.

"Are you really going? Have you figured it out?"

"Well, I want to go out for a change of air."

"It's fine to go. Qin Ziyang's name is so big, although the matter between you and him is nothing, but there will always be rumors. If someone brings up the matter in the future, even if it's nothing, you will feel bad It's comfortable, and it's good to go for a walk. Where are you going?"

"I haven't thought about it. Maybe Shanghai or Beijing. If you want to go, go to a bigger city. It's good to make a name. If it doesn't work, find someone to marry. It's good to be stable for a lifetime."

"But what if I miss you?" Cheng Shan's eyes were already red.

"Then you go and see me."

"Are you paying for the plane ticket? If you pay, I will visit you every day. Anyway, you have money now, so you won't starve to death for a while."

"Tsk tsk, you girl is smart, you know how to apply for benefits for yourself."

"That's not because I learned from you. Su Nianjin, I didn't think you were amazing before, but after this incident, I really think you are extraordinary." She took a sip of Wuliangye, so hot that tears fell down her cheeks, and she was still there Called cool.

"Did you say you planned it long ago? After listening to your words, the more I thought about it after I calmed down, the more I felt something was wrong. What kind of person are you talking about Qin Ziyang? A woman doesn't circle around with a wave of his hand, making Dong Dong dare not go. West, let her go to the west, even if she dies, she will not dare to go to the east. Such a person, you stabbed him, and it hurt so much, can he let you go with his temper? Even if you don’t kill him Get half disabled. But you said that you have nothing to do, and you took 500 million. How could he give it to you? It must be a check, they are all popular, or they will give you a card, but you Such a move must be void. Could it be because of the child? But even if he doesn't kick that child out, he probably won't let you keep it if he finds out."

Cheng Shan seemed to be drinking too much, she laughed non-stop, dangling the wine glass in her hand, and finally lay down on the wine table, and shouted that she admired me, why didn't she have this ability? She shed tears, it didn't look like she was drunk, she seemed really sad.It is a heartbroken person, so she shed heartbroken tears.

I left T City the next day and went to Shanghai.

I had fantasized about this legendary city before I came here, and I also came here many years ago, and admired its luxury as a tourist.But when I really came here, and even wanted to integrate with it, I realized that this place is just a huge castle full of strange rocks and dazzling lights. It refuses the entry of others, and resistance permeates every corner.

Liang Jingsheng called me and asked me how I was doing. I said it was fine. He said how Shanghai was, and I said it was fine, although I was surprised how he knew I was coming to Shanghai.

"And then?" he said.

"It's all pretty good."

"Is there nothing else?"

"Yes." I thought about it.

"What?" he asked.

"I used to say that if you haven't been to Beijing, you don't know how much you can do. If you haven't been to Shanghai, you don't know how much money you can earn. Shanghai is really rich, and it's a mess."

Maybe because of being in a foreign land, even people who didn't want to contact them before will have an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

I rented a house, not in the city center, but it was still horribly expensive. A small place cost me [-] yuan, but I gritted my teeth and rented it.High-end apartments are really unaffordable. There are many people with savings of several million here. Even multi-millionaires are nothing at all. Countless people enter this city every day. They embrace the same dreams as me. Dream, step into this city where hope and despair coexist.

Many fast-paced white-collar workers squeezed out of the noisy crowd with bags like CK and LV in their hands, taking the subway or driving a car.

Those Gothic buildings and old houses a hundred years ago always show the colonial flavor and strong sense of vicissitudes of old Shanghai in the 30s and [-]s.

On the Bund during the day, you can see all kinds of brand-name shops lined up from a distance. The waiters always talk about people's clothing and temperament. Don't think they will be warm to you unless you look like a rich man.Yes, it is so realistic, it is so realistic that it makes me feel cold.I also had my chest heaved violently because of the indifferent attitude of the clerk, and then I went to another store to buy a lot of the same Then he picked up the big bags and small bags, pointed at the clerk's face and said arrogantly: "You are also looking for performance, look, what you just lost, and how much you will lose for your snobbery. "In the astonished eyes of the other party, I casually mentioned a piece of clothing, and when the other party hurriedly brought it to me and handed it to me eagerly, I said coldly, I don't want it anymore.

After that, regardless of the ashen face of the clerk, he swaggered out with the spoils he bought.

When I went back, I hailed a taxi, and the other party saw that I was not a local, so they circled left and right while driving, and finally arrived at the place after I don’t know how many circles. I saw the [-] yuan displayed on the meter and suddenly became angry.
