Chapter 29 Help
Shao Yun called Manzhi, she was still at Su's house, so he drove over there.
Shuzhen saw Shao Yun, but she couldn't get angry, she sat in the dining chair and wiped her tears.I have already explained it on the phone, so I am relieved, but the lingering fear is still there.
Shao Yun's gaze stayed on Manzhi's face all the time. Now that the matter was resolved, he didn't need to come here again. It's just that she blamed him on the phone just now, which made him startled and angry. One would have the guts to do such a thing.The most worrying thing is that Manzhi will misunderstand her because of this, so she has to come over anyway. Seeing that her expression has calmed down now, she can feel at ease.
"Tell your brother, it's okay, those people won't come again." He repeated.
In front of her sister-in-law, Manzhi didn't want to ask more questions, and just nodded.
Su Jinbao coughed heavily at the side, Shao Yun felt it, so he walked over and called out respectfully, "...Dad." Su Jinbao didn't say anything, but turned his face away.
Shao Yun was a little embarrassed, the whole room was gloomy, even though it was a new house just moved in.
Only then did Manzhi remember to ask him to sit down, and hurried to pour water for him, so polite that he was not used to it.
Taking advantage of the moment when she leaned over to put the cup, he asked softly, "Are you going back? I'll see you off along the way."
Manzhi shook her head and said, "I want to wait until I see my brother before leaving."
Shao Yun didn't want to force it, so he sat dryly for a while, feeling really restrained, so he had to leave, Manzhi saw him walking towards the door, and followed him out.
The two went down the stairs one after the other, neither of them spoke, as if they were both stretched by a string.
When they got downstairs, Shao Yun stopped, looked at her, and asked softly, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Manzhi nodded, bit her lower lip and said, "This matter...wasn't you instigated?"
Just now she was bullied by her sister-in-law, and she was not without doubts in her heart.
Shao Yun narrowed his eyes, focused on her face, and asked after a while: "Do you think it is necessary for me to do this?"
Manzhi also understood that it was unreasonable for her to doubt him, so she kept silent.Although Shao Yun acted unruly, he never lied to her.
He let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "But... the matter did happen because of me."
Manzhi suddenly looked up at him with surprise in her eyes.
Shao Yun did not continue, but only comforted her: "They are not targeting your brother, let him not be afraid."
"You paid for my brother?" She stared at Shao Yun, trying to find out the answer from his face.
Shao Yun smiled at her and said, "In short, this matter has nothing to do with your brother, so you don't have to worry."
She guessed the beginning and the end, and she just felt uncomfortable.
"As for the money, I will find a way to pay you back." She glanced at him and whispered.
There was such a look in her eyes that I would take care of everything, which made Shao Yun feel awkward. He turned slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said with a sigh of relief: "No, my money, they will take care of you." Haven't the guts to take it yet."
Manzhi understood who he was referring to. She had met those people a few times, but she always disliked them and always felt a little evil.
"I'm sorry I didn't help you and caused such trouble." He finally said apologetically.
Manzhi felt a little sad when he heard his disappointed tone, "How can I blame you. My brother...is also responsible." After a pause, she told, not without worry, "You should also be careful yourself."
Seeing her concerned expression, Shao Yun suddenly felt relieved, grinned, and said softly: "Don't worry, they still ask me for something, nothing will happen."
When he walked to the front of the car, his hand was on the handlebar, but he still refused to drive.
The night was dark, after tossing all night, he didn't know what time it was, he suddenly felt hungry, so he took the opportunity to say: "I haven't had dinner yet, why don't we find a restaurant nearby, can you eat with me?" In the back, it was almost begging, because she was afraid that she would refuse flatly.
Although Manzhi felt embarrassed, but thinking about it, he missed dinner after all because of his elder brother's business, so he was embarrassed to say no, so he nodded.Shao Yun was overjoyed.
In fact, he didn't think about which one to go to, just walked forward like this, but he was already very satisfied.
"If your brother is willing, I can arrange for him to join the company, but... With his qualifications, he may not be able to have a very good position. Of course, I can..."
Manzhi hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't worry about it, let's talk about it after I have talked with him."
After such a thing, even if Manzhi believed him, his credibility with his family would be greatly reduced again. She didn't want him to try his best and cause a lot of unhappiness.
More importantly, they are no longer a family, so how can they keep bothering him with their own family affairs?She is very clear about these aspects, even in the past, she has always been very taboo to do that, this time her brother went over her to talk to Shao Yun again, which already made Manzhi very uncomfortable.Such an accident, if you calm down and think about it now, it is not entirely a bad thing, at least in the future, the family will not go to him to ask for this or that.Not far away, the phone suddenly sang.
His bell had always been tuned softly, but he could still feel the vibration through his clothes. He frowned slightly and ignored it.
Manzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him, "Hey, your phone is ringing, answer it quickly!"
He glanced at her quickly, and had no choice but to pick her up reluctantly, cursing secretly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was still a troublesome matter. It turned out that the client who made an appointment at night was very unhappy because he didn't show up, and insisted on seeing him. Kong Lingyi was very helpless on the phone and hoped that he could go anyway.
After hanging up the phone, he just smiled wryly, but Manzhi comforted him instead, "It's okay, you can go quickly."
He turned back helplessly and walked back. When he was approaching the car, Manzhi suddenly yelled at him, "Wait a minute!" He picked up the paper bag and rushed to him, then handed it over, "This is for you to satisfy your hunger on the road, and being hungry all the time is not good for your stomach."
Shao Yun stared at her blankly, his eyebrows twitched, because of the strange feeling in his heart, he suddenly wanted to pull her into his arms, and never let go.
But he didn't do that in the end, he just took the bag lightly, then opened the car door, cast a heavy glance at Manzhi, and quickly got into the car.
The car drove fast because he was afraid of experiencing the momentary weakness that surged in his heart at the moment of parting.
Watching his car drive away, Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
In the middle of the night, Su Haifeng finally returned home, disheveled and taciturn.
Shuzhen had already stopped sobbing, and glared at Haifeng. No matter what, he still gambled and lost so badly. The savings he had worked so hard for a few years were gone so lightly, let alone her job. Where did he show a good face.
"If it's really not possible, brother, you can go to my shop to help. When the new shop opens, it will always need manpower. Don't worry about using your own people."
She knew that her brother was honest, and at the same time he didn't have any opinions. When she was doing small business, she always listened to other people's opinions and was busy doing nothing. She didn't achieve anything. She thought she could do it longer this time, but she didn't expect this kind of accident again, so she let him go In front of myself, looking at it every day, it will not be out of line.
Naturally, Haifeng didn't dare to have any opinions, and Shuzhen didn't say anything, which was a tacit consent, after all, Manzhi has always been kind to her family.
Only Su Jinbao frowned, looking at his son and daughter-in-law with strong anger and indisputable intent.
The next day, Manzhi went to the bank to withdraw some money and gave it to her sister-in-law secretly. She understood Shuzhen's temper and valued money more than anything else. If she didn't compensate her, she was afraid that her brother's life would be even more difficult in the future. , and, after all, Shao Yun was indeed partly responsible for this matter, so she couldn't ignore it.
Shuzhen pushed back a few times and finally accepted it, her face suddenly became more amiable.When I was in a good mood, I wanted to have a long talk, "Manzhi, how did you think about the section chief of the National Taxation Bureau I mentioned to you last time? Although he is a few years older than you, there is another My son, it’s just a real job! There’s a long line of people introducing him!”
Manzhi had no choice but to smile back, a little helpless, when she turned her head, she saw her father appearing at the door of the room, Shuzhen instinctively hid the money, and went back to her room after a few words of embarrassment.
"Manzhi, come in." Su Jinbao said to her, frowning.
Manzhi had no choice but to follow.
"Did you give Shuzhen money?" He said angrily.
Manzhi didn't answer, but poured him a glass of water.
"They have to deal with their own troubles. You don't have to worry about them all the time. You don't owe them anything." Su Jinbao said emphatically and began to cough heavily. He recently found out that his lungs are not very good, so Manzhi no longer let him go A helper in a flower shop, just resting at home.
Manzhi sat down beside him, looking at her father's gray hair, she also felt distressed. She wanted her family to live a good life, but it seemed that everything was going smoothly.
"Dad, brother and the others are really having a hard time this time. Anyway, I'm alone, so I can do whatever I want. We're all one family, and we owe nothing... Don't keep scolding brother, he's sad enough."
Su Jinbao just felt sad, he has always loved this daughter the most, she is smart and sensible, but why is it always bad luck?
Manzhi noticed that her father's eyes were red, but she was surprised, thinking that he was sorry for her brother, but who knew that what he said was still aimed at herself.
"Manzhi, I'm not worth it for you... You said that you are a good-looking girl, who has provoked whom, and you are going to be like this for the rest of your life?"
Manzhi hated seeing others cry in front of her the most, and it was her elderly father who was crying at this moment, which was even more shocking. She grabbed Su Jinbao's hand and said anxiously: "Dad, am I doing well? Don't be like this... ..."
The more Su Jinbao thought about it, the more sad he became. The painful experiences of the past few years flashed before his eyes one by one, and he cried out of control.
Finally, Manzhi's tears couldn't be hidden and dripped down. Fortunately, the door was closed.
After sighing relative to each other for a while, the two gradually stopped their tears, and Su Jinbao sighed earnestly: "Find a good family early, don't always pass by alone, if one day I leave, don't worry."
"Dad! Why do you keep saying unkind things?" Manzhi became annoyed.
Su Jinbao knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Fu said seriously again: "Manzhi, if you want me to be happy, you have to be happy first. I'm old and I have nothing else to look forward to. I just want to see you well, so I don't complain about anything."
Although I always say that I am not picky, but after looking at so many shops, there are always dissatisfaction in one way or another. When the final order is made, it is still the one I liked at the beginning.
The contract was signed in late September.
Shangguan Lin couldn't help laughing at Manzhi, "You're a typical example of Qian Fan dying, but it turned out to be the first one. Hey, it's better to remarry Shao Yun, and save everyone from worrying about you."
When Manzhi heard the words, she raised her hand and was about to hit it, but when it came down, she just slapped it lightly. Shangguan Lin hid lazily to the side while still laughing, "Have you heard the story of the little bear breaking the corn? Be careful until there is not a single one left in your hand!"
Mengmeng cheered happily beside her with a high-pitched voice, "I know! I know! The teacher told us this story!"
Laughter loudly, has been flying into the clear blue sky.
Autumn is always a good season for traveling. On this day, Manzhi took Mengmeng to a leisure area in Yishan with Shao Lei and Shangguan.
The Xiuyun Leisure Center in Yishan faces the water. From the outside, it is not very eye-catching. When you walk in, you find that it is actually very large. At a glance, there are mountains and waters. It is divided into several large areas, including the racetrack, cowboy club, and go-karts. Road, hot air balloon area, water entertainment, and a large flat lawn, the eyes are so cute.
It was very windy that day, Manzhi bought a butterfly kite for Mengmeng, and the two tossed and tossed on the lawn for a long time, finally with the help of Shao Lei, they succeeded in ascending to heaven.
Shangguan Lin came down from two rounds of horse riding, feeling a little sweaty, so she went to the club and ordered a glass of orange juice. There was a row of rocking chairs under the eaves of the door, and she randomly chose one to sit in. It was slightly swaying, and the cool breeze was blowing, making her very comfortable.
Not long after, Shao Lei also ran over, sweating profusely, snatched the drink from Shangguan's hand and drank it.
"Hey, go buy it again, I don't have enough." Shangguan gave him a sideways look and said dissatisfied.
Shao Lei drank comfortably, cheered at her, showed his neat white teeth, then got up and said, "No problem."
When she came out again, there was an extra tray in her hand, which contained four or five kinds of beverages of different colors, which were placed on the small table by Shangguan Lin's hand.
Shangguan smiled brightly, "Yo, so many, you are really generous."
Shao Lei also laughed, "Not all of them belong to you, I also bought some for my sister-in-law and Mengmeng."
"What's the name of sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't you have to change your mouth?" Shangguan said angrily.
Shao Lei smiled at her in a good-tempered manner without refuting. He sat down in another rocking chair beside her and swayed back and forth like Shangguan.
Shangguan stared at the two cheerful figures, one big and one small, on the lawn in the distance for a long time, then suddenly said to Shao Lei: "Look, Manzhi seems to be a different person now, much more lively than before. Hehe, it can be seen that she left Your brother is a wise choice."
This made Shao Lei very uncomfortable. He rolled her eyes and said, "What do you know?"
Shangguan saw that he was serious, and wanted to tease him, so he laughed and said: "Our firm has a new partner recently, who is not inferior to your brother in appearance, and his career can be regarded as a small success. Zhi is a good match, why don't I lead them a line..."
The panicked Shao Lei immediately stopped her, "Grandma, please don't make trouble, if you let the elder brother know, you will kill me."
"Tch, we're divorced, your brother can control it, he's too domineering. Hey, besides, if you want to hack, you'll hack me. What's the matter with you?"
Shao Lei giggled and said, "He knows that I miss you, so he will definitely not do anything to you, and I will be in big trouble."
Shangguan punched him in the chest, and Shao Lei yelled, and quickly put away his grinning face, and said seriously: "I'm serious, don't meddle in their affairs. My brother only has Sister-in-law, we all hope she can come back soon."
Shangguan shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal, and after a while, said quietly: "Of course I don't care, but I won't interfere, can you guarantee that no one else interferes?"
Playing late that day, they came out of the leisure center and went to a nearby farm to pick oranges.After getting into the car, Mengmeng fell asleep lying on Manzhi's body after not driving for a long time.
After seeing off Shangguan Lin, the car drove into Shao's house. Before Shao Yun came back, Shao Lei took the sleeping Mengmeng from Manzhi and said to her, "Go in and sit for a while, my brother should be here soon." I'm back." He had already secretly called Shao Yun.
Manzhi hurriedly said: "No, I'm going back, anyway, I have nothing to do." After playing for a whole day, she was very tired at this time.
Shao Lei couldn't keep it, so he had to give up, secretly annoyed why Shao Yun hadn't come back, and a chance for nothing was wasted like this.
In fact, although the two brothers live together, they seldom meet each other. During the day, they are busy with their own business. Unless they have an appointment, they will not go home at the same time. Shao Yun often has social gatherings outside, and usually comes back late.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, Shao Lei saw his brother in the company's restaurant.
Shao Yun seldom visited the restaurant, and the secretary sent him directly to the office. He was in a good mood that day and wanted to go out for a walk, so he left the things in hand and went to the restaurant with Kong Lingyi.
Arrived a bit early, most of the mid-level managers of Shao's had dinner around one o'clock, and there were only a few diners dotted in the restaurant. When they saw Shao Yun, they immediately got up and came over to say hello.
Shao Yun responded indifferently, he didn't like to talk about business during the meal, spoiling each other's appetite, the staff knew his temper well, so they quickly returned to their seats.
Immediately, someone served two lunch boxes, which were also four dishes and one soup, but they were more refined than those in the staff restaurant.
As soon as he moved his chopsticks, Shao Lei's loud laughter came from the door. When he saw his brother, his eyes lit up immediately, and he left his companion and ran over wheezing.
"It's rare, big brother, I didn't expect to see you here today, hehe."
Shao Yun glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile: "There's so much nonsense, sit down if you want to eat."
Shao Lei glanced at Kong Lingyi on the opposite side, and when she saw this, she nodded and smiled at him as a greeting.In fact, the two are not strangers. When Shao Yun was still in the planning department, he often went to the office to find his brother.Every time he saw Kong Lingyi, Shao Lei felt unspeakably awkward. Although she was not as unbearable as people said, in his heart, he always felt that Kong Lingyi was also responsible for the breakdown of his brother-in-law's marriage.
For a while, he also thought that his brother fell in love with Kong Lingyi, and it was reasonable to have feelings for him every day, but after a while, he felt that it was not the case at all. He was just confused and couldn't tell why. , Sometimes he slapped Shao Yun sideways, but he just patted Shao Lei on the head, calmed down and reprimanded lightly, "Kids, don't worry about it."
So he had no choice but to continue to remain confused and hostile towards Kong Lingyi.
The three of them ate together, and Shao Yun and Shao Lei naturally chatted about topics other than business.
Shao Lei and Shangguan Lin plan to get married next year. Although there are still four months to go, Shao Lei got excited early. He has been very nervous about Shangguan, so for the wedding, he always hopes to hold something novel and unique, so that her satisfy.In the past few days, he has used a lot of brains, and he really wants his brother to serve as his staff.
Kong Lingyi saw that the two brothers had a private conversation, and although he couldn't get in the mouth, it was a bit inappropriate to listen too much, so he left after hastily eating.
After Kong Lingyi left, Shao Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard that his younger brother was still rambling about the wedding, "You can just hire the wedding company."
Shao Lei said disdainfully: "Wedding companies are all the same things, they are just going through the motions and have no meaning at all. Hey, brother, what did you do with your sister-in-law at that time? I don't seem to have any impression."
Shao Yun's complexion suddenly darkened, and his heart twitched violently. He and Manzhi never held a wedding at all, and he owed her too much.
Fortunately, Shao Lei just passed this sentence indiscriminately, and didn't delve into it. He was still completely immersed in his own ideas.
"I told Arlene to go to my sister-in-law's shop this weekend. She will also arrange the wedding scene, so I can ask for advice. By the way, I went to Swan Pond Park. There is a new children's playground, and Mengmeng has been clamoring for it. Go! I took her to Yishan last week and made her so happy. It’s a pity that you didn’t go. Hey, are you free this week? Come with us when you are free.”
Shao Yun heard that Manzhi would also go, his heart moved, he lowered his head and thought for a while, but he was not sure, and said: "Let's talk about it then."
Shao Lei disapproved very much, "Brother, some things can be entrusted to others, you just let go, you don't need to do everything yourself. Take it easy when it's time to relax. Besides, if you go on like this, meeting your sister-in-law will be easier. Come less and less, there is no chance to chase her back."
Shao Yun could only smile at Shao Lei. Although this younger brother is not young, many of his ideas are very naive. Maybe he and his parents have always protected him too well. He has an optimistic personality and a kind heart, but Always a difficult task.
Shao Yun has always felt that Shao Lei is the most relaxed director of Shaw Brothers. He majored in computer science. After graduating from graduate school, he returned to Shaw Brothers and became the director of the IT department. The workload should be quite leisurely. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. Shao Yun understands his younger brother's personality and temper, and doesn't force him to take on things beyond his ability.
Shao Lei guessed his brother's expression, suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that my sister-in-law went on a blind date."
Shao Yun's heart beat obviously faster, but he said: "This is impossible."
Shao Lei asked rhetorically, "Is there anything impossible? Her sister-in-law has been enthusiastically explaining to her, and she has introduced several of them."
Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled again and said, "She won't."
"Hmph, you can't say anything about women. What if she loses her mind one day and agrees to whom? I'm afraid you will regret it and have nowhere to buy medicine." My brother became more and more calm.
After eating almost, Shao Lei tilted his head and saw Shao Yun's hand holding the chopsticks in the air, in a daze, so he poked him, "Hey, are you going on Saturday or not?"
Shao Yun glanced at him, picked up a chopstick of vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth, feeling dry and tasteless.
"Go when you have time." The tone was indifferent.
Seeing that he still couldn't answer himself with certainty, Shao Lei could only sigh to himself.
However, Shao Yun still failed to make it on Saturday.Shaw held a foundation laying ceremony in the villa area invested by Ronghu, and he had to be present.
The weather was unnaturally hot, it was already October, but the heat at noon was no different from that in midsummer.
Manzhi stood in a corner of the building materials market, arguing dryly with the owner of the tile shop. She fell in love with a floor tile with an orange-red background and irregular white stripes inlaid in the middle. Each piece was small and cohesive. It will look very lively together, and I have visited more than half of the stores, and this is the only one that has it.However, the shopkeeper is very cunning, he can see her preferences at a glance, and he insists on the price and refuses to go down.
Once the new store was selected, Manzhi devoted all his attention to the decoration.I didn't put much thought into decorating the old store at the beginning, it was purely for entertainment, but I didn't expect that after a year, I did a pretty good job.So I had higher expectations for this new store.
However, because of her brother's incident, the funds she originally spent on decoration were suddenly reduced by less than half. She originally planned to outsource it to the decoration company, and she only needed to check it regularly.As a result, she was reluctant and decided to DIY.
After looking for a lot of decoration books and studying at home for a week, I pieced together the good ideas that I saw, and got a general idea in my mind, so she geared up to attack.
She wholeheartedly wanted to decorate the new store in a unique and novel way, so she was very picky when selecting materials.
Manzhi didn't buy much, but she was so persistent, and after another ten minutes of soaking softly, the shopkeeper became annoyed, and just wanted her to leave early, so she agreed in a confused way.
Manzhi was overjoyed and just waited for the invoice to be billed.He didn't pay attention to another guest who suddenly appeared behind him.
"The color is ugly, and it's still so expensive. Lao Jiang, you're cheating again, aren't you?" The man spoke very rudely.Manzhi thought it sounded familiar, she was slightly taken aback, and looked back, but she never thought it was Shao Yun.
She couldn't hide her surprise immediately, and blurted out, "Why did you come here?"
When Lao Jiang saw Shao Yun, he immediately smiled, "Oh, Young Master Yun, how long has it been since we met!" Then he hurriedly found a chair for him, "Sit, sit."
Shao Yun waved at him, "No need." He turned to Manzhi, did not answer her question, but continued: "Did you buy it to store in the store?"
Manzhi didn't strike up a conversation, but looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he just happened to pass by or came to find her on purpose.If he came to look for him, then he was a little too amazing to find him here.
Shao Yun walked around the shop, and then called Manzhi over.
"This kind is not bad." He pointed to a large off-white brick and told her.
Manzhi looked around and muttered, "This is too common."
He looked down and saw the contempt on Manzhi's face, and felt helpless. Anyway, he had been doing interior decoration for several years, and there were half a basket of similar books at home, but it was a pity that he didn't influence her at all.
"Do you want customers to see your decoration or your products? If you want to highlight the products, the decoration must be low-key, and it can only be used as a foil. How can you put the cart before the horse."
He tried a few words of persuasion, but Manzhi still couldn't agree with her.After weighing again and again, she still ordered the one she wanted, but the price was much cheaper.
"Young Master Yun knew him, so there must be a discount." Lao Jiang looked so amiable as if he was not alone just now.After choosing the floor tiles, I had to look at the gussets of the ceiling. Manzhi said goodbye to Shao Yun very politely, and thanked Shao Yun at the same time. The discount just now was all for his sake.
Shao Yun just stopped and smiled at her, didn't say anything, and didn't follow, so Manzhi just thought he met him by chance.
The building materials market is dizzyingly large.A few years ago, when Shao Yun was still hanging around here, Manzhi came here a few times, but the situation now is completely different from then.She ran to the schematic diagram to check it before she dared to move.
The gusset area is on the other side of the market. It was a big circle to go around. After walking, I realized that it was the way I came here. In the morning, she roamed in from the entrance here.
The first shop was the largest. She wandered in and looked at the gusset samples of different colors and designs above her head. She was in trouble for a while. The color of her floor tiles was indeed special. At this moment, she didn't know which color would be suitable for her.
The boss was a little familiar, but Manzhi couldn't remember where he met her. At this time, she followed her very attentively and kept asking her, which made it even more difficult for her to make a choice.
"I just said that the floor tiles you chose are not suitable." Shao Yun's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Manzhi turned around abruptly, seeing him coming out from somewhere at some point, looking at her with a half-smile, and frowned unconsciously.
"If you insist on laying such a bright color on the floor, I advise you to choose a white ceiling, which would be safer." He ignored her disturbed frowning, and acted as her "consultant" with a calm expression.
Manzhi felt very uncomfortable. After all, it was an accessory she felt very proud of, but Shao Yun snorted at it, so she snorted coldly, ignored him, and continued to search.
The owner of the shop turned his back on Manzhi and winked at Shao Yun. He smiled faintly and waved his hand secretly.
Because Shao Yun was by her side, Manzhi was still a little restless, and when she got annoyed, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply changed to another house and continued to watch, Shao Yun just followed in a leisurely manner.
She became a little angry, "Why do you always follow me, don't you have to go to work? Are you so idle?"
Shao Yun was not annoyed either, he walked up to her with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "You are still the honorary director of Shao's, why don't you come here for fun?"
Manzhi sees that he intends to quarrel with her, and has no time to mess with him, so she turns around and chooses on her own.
But the roots of her ears were no longer clean, and Shao Yun commented on each style she liked with great interest. Manzhi was annoyed and had to admit that what he said was indeed reasonable, but she had to admit on the spot that it was a shame. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I walked around and couldn't buy anything, so I was in a hurry and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the outside of the store, Shao Yun asked behind her: "Where are you going?"
"Eat." She replied without looking back.
As soon as he heard it, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" Manzhi was startled, and tried her best to break away.
"Take you to eat, come back to pick after eating."
"I won't go." She refused flatly.
Every time I take her to an expensive and gorgeous restaurant, not to mention eating stiffly, a lot of time is wasted, she has to complete all the shopping tasks today.
Outside the store was a row of snack shops that looked like food stalls. There was a ramen restaurant that was doing a good job, surrounded by a lot of noisy diners, and there was a long queue at the checkout counter.
Manzhi squeezed over to pick him up at the end of the line, feeling a little smug in her heart. It took more than ten minutes for her turn. She knew that Shao Yun never liked to eat in this kind of place, so she wasted her time. Bar.
But he was quickly dragged out.
She was unprepared, and almost stumbled, and suddenly became furious, "What do you want?"
Shao Yun held her back, walked towards the left hand quickly, and said: "Don't eat here, it's unhygienic."
"Don't worry about it! I like it!" She protested loudly, but she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.
She was really annoyed, new hatred and old hatred rushed into her heart, why did he always talk to himself like this, regardless of other people's feelings!
She gritted her teeth and shouted: "I warn you, if you don't let go, I will, I will..."
Hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but look back at her, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, "What are you doing?"
Being held hostage by him all the time into KFC, Manzhi didn't even think of the second half of the words to threaten him.
They were divorced and never had anything to do again.
Having said that, even if she didn't get divorced, she always seemed to be able to do nothing to him.
After finding an empty seat, he forced the stiff Manzhi onto it, and then Shao Yun said in a soft voice, "I'll go buy what I want to eat, it's very fast here."
She has been walking all morning, and she "fighted" with him just now, she is indeed hungry, and when she is hungry, she tends to get tired easily, and the smell of fried chicken is wafting in the shop.
"Whatever!" She replied weakly, no longer as aggressive as before.
Looking at her complexion, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile, a bright and gentle smile, but it's a pity that Manzhi didn't even look at him.Obviously the team was not short, but he came back quickly, carrying a tray full of food.
Manzhi didn't bother to ask, glanced at the plate, grabbed a chicken roll, tore off the wrapping paper, and took two bites to quickly fill the void in her stomach.
Shao Yun methodically inserted a straw into the Coke cup, handed it to her, and then scolded: "How dare you run to eat in that kind of place?"
"I'm not as precious as you." Manzhi answered him angrily, and bit down hard again.
Shao Yun shook his head with a smile and said nothing more.
After eating most of it, he asked slowly, "I heard that you went on a blind date?"
Manzhi was drinking coke, never expected that he would ask such a question, she couldn't catch her breath, choked into her trachea, and coughed embarrassingly.
Shao Yun hurriedly wiped her with a tissue, seeing her blushing, wanted to laugh but felt distressed.
After finally calming down her cough, she caught a glimpse of his smiling eyes, and she was a little embarrassed, "What does this have to do with you?"
She really couldn't hold back her sister-in-law, so she did meet her once.When we met in a small teahouse, she ran away without finishing half a cup of tea. The other party's question was too direct, which made her unbearable.
"It doesn't matter, you control half of Shaw's lifeline now. I don't want a stranger to be in the meeting room when there is a shareholders' meeting." He spoke eloquently.
At the end of Manzhi's words, she was silent for a while, and then her mind turned around. It turned out that he was looking for him today for this matter. "Didn't you say that you don't care about my business in the future? What is this?"
Sparks flickered in Shao Yun's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, his train of thought was interrupted by the phone ringing.
Manzhi lowered her head and sipped her Coke, while listening to Shao Yun's short reply.
"Well, okay...not now, I have something else to do, please help me make an appointment at night...OK."
At the end, I added, "You reserve a seat at 'Heji' and go together at night."
After hanging up the phone, he saw that Manzhi was already wiping her mouth with a napkin and was about to leave, so he immediately frowned and said, "Sit down for a while, what are you in a hurry for?"
Manzhi looked at him with wide eyes, "Aren't you busy? Why don't you hurry up?"
Shao Yun was a little helpless, wondering if she really didn't understand or was pretending to be confused.
Duanning gradually appeared on his face, and his voice suddenly sank, "I want to sell the entire real estate business, and I am looking for a suitable buyer."
When Manzhi heard this, she was taken aback, and even forgot to raise an argument, "Why?"
As soon as the words came out of the mouth, it became clear that the question was a bit redundant.
Shao Yun and his uncle Shao Junbang have been arguing over this issue for many years. Shao Junbang has always been committed to the development of real estate, while Shao Yun advocates investing more in the machinery industry.
Now, he has only been on stage for a year and he can't wait to realize his ideal.
After a while, he murmured again: "Is there any risk?"
"Yes." He answered in the affirmative, but if he didn't try, he would never be reconciled.
Manzhi understood his temper, so she could only keep silent.
In the past two years, she has also learned to be good. There are many things that she cannot intervene in. Forcibly intervening is just asking for trouble, so it is better to let nature take its course.
Looking at the time, Manzhi still got up to leave, she still had a lot of things to do.
Shao Yun came out with her, and followed Manzhi to the store again.
When she reached the door, she stopped and turned to look at Shao Yun. There was still a smile on his face, but her expression was solemn.
"Shao Yun, there's no need for you to do this. Really, we...are already divorced, I just want to live a peaceful and peaceful life...you are the same, you have to have your own life, don't always think about the past. do you understand?"
Her meaning couldn't be more obvious. From then on, the two of them have nothing to do with each other.
She watched the smile on his face gradually fade, and felt sad in her heart, but she had to do it.
Now that she has decided to start over, she doesn't want to have any ambiguous ties with him anymore. Such futile procrastination is not good for anyone.
Shao Yun watched her pass in front of him silently, and then gradually disappeared into the crowded crowd in the store, his mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
The surrounding area was very noisy, with people coming and going, people carrying goods, making loud noises, and the sound of rumbling cars. He was the only one standing there like a wooden man, as if he was in a desert without people, and he had lost any expression.
(End of this chapter)
Shao Yun called Manzhi, she was still at Su's house, so he drove over there.
Shuzhen saw Shao Yun, but she couldn't get angry, she sat in the dining chair and wiped her tears.I have already explained it on the phone, so I am relieved, but the lingering fear is still there.
Shao Yun's gaze stayed on Manzhi's face all the time. Now that the matter was resolved, he didn't need to come here again. It's just that she blamed him on the phone just now, which made him startled and angry. One would have the guts to do such a thing.The most worrying thing is that Manzhi will misunderstand her because of this, so she has to come over anyway. Seeing that her expression has calmed down now, she can feel at ease.
"Tell your brother, it's okay, those people won't come again." He repeated.
In front of her sister-in-law, Manzhi didn't want to ask more questions, and just nodded.
Su Jinbao coughed heavily at the side, Shao Yun felt it, so he walked over and called out respectfully, "...Dad." Su Jinbao didn't say anything, but turned his face away.
Shao Yun was a little embarrassed, the whole room was gloomy, even though it was a new house just moved in.
Only then did Manzhi remember to ask him to sit down, and hurried to pour water for him, so polite that he was not used to it.
Taking advantage of the moment when she leaned over to put the cup, he asked softly, "Are you going back? I'll see you off along the way."
Manzhi shook her head and said, "I want to wait until I see my brother before leaving."
Shao Yun didn't want to force it, so he sat dryly for a while, feeling really restrained, so he had to leave, Manzhi saw him walking towards the door, and followed him out.
The two went down the stairs one after the other, neither of them spoke, as if they were both stretched by a string.
When they got downstairs, Shao Yun stopped, looked at her, and asked softly, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Manzhi nodded, bit her lower lip and said, "This matter...wasn't you instigated?"
Just now she was bullied by her sister-in-law, and she was not without doubts in her heart.
Shao Yun narrowed his eyes, focused on her face, and asked after a while: "Do you think it is necessary for me to do this?"
Manzhi also understood that it was unreasonable for her to doubt him, so she kept silent.Although Shao Yun acted unruly, he never lied to her.
He let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "But... the matter did happen because of me."
Manzhi suddenly looked up at him with surprise in her eyes.
Shao Yun did not continue, but only comforted her: "They are not targeting your brother, let him not be afraid."
"You paid for my brother?" She stared at Shao Yun, trying to find out the answer from his face.
Shao Yun smiled at her and said, "In short, this matter has nothing to do with your brother, so you don't have to worry."
She guessed the beginning and the end, and she just felt uncomfortable.
"As for the money, I will find a way to pay you back." She glanced at him and whispered.
There was such a look in her eyes that I would take care of everything, which made Shao Yun feel awkward. He turned slightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said with a sigh of relief: "No, my money, they will take care of you." Haven't the guts to take it yet."
Manzhi understood who he was referring to. She had met those people a few times, but she always disliked them and always felt a little evil.
"I'm sorry I didn't help you and caused such trouble." He finally said apologetically.
Manzhi felt a little sad when he heard his disappointed tone, "How can I blame you. My brother...is also responsible." After a pause, she told, not without worry, "You should also be careful yourself."
Seeing her concerned expression, Shao Yun suddenly felt relieved, grinned, and said softly: "Don't worry, they still ask me for something, nothing will happen."
When he walked to the front of the car, his hand was on the handlebar, but he still refused to drive.
The night was dark, after tossing all night, he didn't know what time it was, he suddenly felt hungry, so he took the opportunity to say: "I haven't had dinner yet, why don't we find a restaurant nearby, can you eat with me?" In the back, it was almost begging, because she was afraid that she would refuse flatly.
Although Manzhi felt embarrassed, but thinking about it, he missed dinner after all because of his elder brother's business, so he was embarrassed to say no, so he nodded.Shao Yun was overjoyed.
In fact, he didn't think about which one to go to, just walked forward like this, but he was already very satisfied.
"If your brother is willing, I can arrange for him to join the company, but... With his qualifications, he may not be able to have a very good position. Of course, I can..."
Manzhi hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't worry about it, let's talk about it after I have talked with him."
After such a thing, even if Manzhi believed him, his credibility with his family would be greatly reduced again. She didn't want him to try his best and cause a lot of unhappiness.
More importantly, they are no longer a family, so how can they keep bothering him with their own family affairs?She is very clear about these aspects, even in the past, she has always been very taboo to do that, this time her brother went over her to talk to Shao Yun again, which already made Manzhi very uncomfortable.Such an accident, if you calm down and think about it now, it is not entirely a bad thing, at least in the future, the family will not go to him to ask for this or that.Not far away, the phone suddenly sang.
His bell had always been tuned softly, but he could still feel the vibration through his clothes. He frowned slightly and ignored it.
Manzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him, "Hey, your phone is ringing, answer it quickly!"
He glanced at her quickly, and had no choice but to pick her up reluctantly, cursing secretly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was still a troublesome matter. It turned out that the client who made an appointment at night was very unhappy because he didn't show up, and insisted on seeing him. Kong Lingyi was very helpless on the phone and hoped that he could go anyway.
After hanging up the phone, he just smiled wryly, but Manzhi comforted him instead, "It's okay, you can go quickly."
He turned back helplessly and walked back. When he was approaching the car, Manzhi suddenly yelled at him, "Wait a minute!" He picked up the paper bag and rushed to him, then handed it over, "This is for you to satisfy your hunger on the road, and being hungry all the time is not good for your stomach."
Shao Yun stared at her blankly, his eyebrows twitched, because of the strange feeling in his heart, he suddenly wanted to pull her into his arms, and never let go.
But he didn't do that in the end, he just took the bag lightly, then opened the car door, cast a heavy glance at Manzhi, and quickly got into the car.
The car drove fast because he was afraid of experiencing the momentary weakness that surged in his heart at the moment of parting.
Watching his car drive away, Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
In the middle of the night, Su Haifeng finally returned home, disheveled and taciturn.
Shuzhen had already stopped sobbing, and glared at Haifeng. No matter what, he still gambled and lost so badly. The savings he had worked so hard for a few years were gone so lightly, let alone her job. Where did he show a good face.
"If it's really not possible, brother, you can go to my shop to help. When the new shop opens, it will always need manpower. Don't worry about using your own people."
She knew that her brother was honest, and at the same time he didn't have any opinions. When she was doing small business, she always listened to other people's opinions and was busy doing nothing. She didn't achieve anything. She thought she could do it longer this time, but she didn't expect this kind of accident again, so she let him go In front of myself, looking at it every day, it will not be out of line.
Naturally, Haifeng didn't dare to have any opinions, and Shuzhen didn't say anything, which was a tacit consent, after all, Manzhi has always been kind to her family.
Only Su Jinbao frowned, looking at his son and daughter-in-law with strong anger and indisputable intent.
The next day, Manzhi went to the bank to withdraw some money and gave it to her sister-in-law secretly. She understood Shuzhen's temper and valued money more than anything else. If she didn't compensate her, she was afraid that her brother's life would be even more difficult in the future. , and, after all, Shao Yun was indeed partly responsible for this matter, so she couldn't ignore it.
Shuzhen pushed back a few times and finally accepted it, her face suddenly became more amiable.When I was in a good mood, I wanted to have a long talk, "Manzhi, how did you think about the section chief of the National Taxation Bureau I mentioned to you last time? Although he is a few years older than you, there is another My son, it’s just a real job! There’s a long line of people introducing him!”
Manzhi had no choice but to smile back, a little helpless, when she turned her head, she saw her father appearing at the door of the room, Shuzhen instinctively hid the money, and went back to her room after a few words of embarrassment.
"Manzhi, come in." Su Jinbao said to her, frowning.
Manzhi had no choice but to follow.
"Did you give Shuzhen money?" He said angrily.
Manzhi didn't answer, but poured him a glass of water.
"They have to deal with their own troubles. You don't have to worry about them all the time. You don't owe them anything." Su Jinbao said emphatically and began to cough heavily. He recently found out that his lungs are not very good, so Manzhi no longer let him go A helper in a flower shop, just resting at home.
Manzhi sat down beside him, looking at her father's gray hair, she also felt distressed. She wanted her family to live a good life, but it seemed that everything was going smoothly.
"Dad, brother and the others are really having a hard time this time. Anyway, I'm alone, so I can do whatever I want. We're all one family, and we owe nothing... Don't keep scolding brother, he's sad enough."
Su Jinbao just felt sad, he has always loved this daughter the most, she is smart and sensible, but why is it always bad luck?
Manzhi noticed that her father's eyes were red, but she was surprised, thinking that he was sorry for her brother, but who knew that what he said was still aimed at herself.
"Manzhi, I'm not worth it for you... You said that you are a good-looking girl, who has provoked whom, and you are going to be like this for the rest of your life?"
Manzhi hated seeing others cry in front of her the most, and it was her elderly father who was crying at this moment, which was even more shocking. She grabbed Su Jinbao's hand and said anxiously: "Dad, am I doing well? Don't be like this... ..."
The more Su Jinbao thought about it, the more sad he became. The painful experiences of the past few years flashed before his eyes one by one, and he cried out of control.
Finally, Manzhi's tears couldn't be hidden and dripped down. Fortunately, the door was closed.
After sighing relative to each other for a while, the two gradually stopped their tears, and Su Jinbao sighed earnestly: "Find a good family early, don't always pass by alone, if one day I leave, don't worry."
"Dad! Why do you keep saying unkind things?" Manzhi became annoyed.
Su Jinbao knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Fu said seriously again: "Manzhi, if you want me to be happy, you have to be happy first. I'm old and I have nothing else to look forward to. I just want to see you well, so I don't complain about anything."
Although I always say that I am not picky, but after looking at so many shops, there are always dissatisfaction in one way or another. When the final order is made, it is still the one I liked at the beginning.
The contract was signed in late September.
Shangguan Lin couldn't help laughing at Manzhi, "You're a typical example of Qian Fan dying, but it turned out to be the first one. Hey, it's better to remarry Shao Yun, and save everyone from worrying about you."
When Manzhi heard the words, she raised her hand and was about to hit it, but when it came down, she just slapped it lightly. Shangguan Lin hid lazily to the side while still laughing, "Have you heard the story of the little bear breaking the corn? Be careful until there is not a single one left in your hand!"
Mengmeng cheered happily beside her with a high-pitched voice, "I know! I know! The teacher told us this story!"
Laughter loudly, has been flying into the clear blue sky.
Autumn is always a good season for traveling. On this day, Manzhi took Mengmeng to a leisure area in Yishan with Shao Lei and Shangguan.
The Xiuyun Leisure Center in Yishan faces the water. From the outside, it is not very eye-catching. When you walk in, you find that it is actually very large. At a glance, there are mountains and waters. It is divided into several large areas, including the racetrack, cowboy club, and go-karts. Road, hot air balloon area, water entertainment, and a large flat lawn, the eyes are so cute.
It was very windy that day, Manzhi bought a butterfly kite for Mengmeng, and the two tossed and tossed on the lawn for a long time, finally with the help of Shao Lei, they succeeded in ascending to heaven.
Shangguan Lin came down from two rounds of horse riding, feeling a little sweaty, so she went to the club and ordered a glass of orange juice. There was a row of rocking chairs under the eaves of the door, and she randomly chose one to sit in. It was slightly swaying, and the cool breeze was blowing, making her very comfortable.
Not long after, Shao Lei also ran over, sweating profusely, snatched the drink from Shangguan's hand and drank it.
"Hey, go buy it again, I don't have enough." Shangguan gave him a sideways look and said dissatisfied.
Shao Lei drank comfortably, cheered at her, showed his neat white teeth, then got up and said, "No problem."
When she came out again, there was an extra tray in her hand, which contained four or five kinds of beverages of different colors, which were placed on the small table by Shangguan Lin's hand.
Shangguan smiled brightly, "Yo, so many, you are really generous."
Shao Lei also laughed, "Not all of them belong to you, I also bought some for my sister-in-law and Mengmeng."
"What's the name of sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't you have to change your mouth?" Shangguan said angrily.
Shao Lei smiled at her in a good-tempered manner without refuting. He sat down in another rocking chair beside her and swayed back and forth like Shangguan.
Shangguan stared at the two cheerful figures, one big and one small, on the lawn in the distance for a long time, then suddenly said to Shao Lei: "Look, Manzhi seems to be a different person now, much more lively than before. Hehe, it can be seen that she left Your brother is a wise choice."
This made Shao Lei very uncomfortable. He rolled her eyes and said, "What do you know?"
Shangguan saw that he was serious, and wanted to tease him, so he laughed and said: "Our firm has a new partner recently, who is not inferior to your brother in appearance, and his career can be regarded as a small success. Zhi is a good match, why don't I lead them a line..."
The panicked Shao Lei immediately stopped her, "Grandma, please don't make trouble, if you let the elder brother know, you will kill me."
"Tch, we're divorced, your brother can control it, he's too domineering. Hey, besides, if you want to hack, you'll hack me. What's the matter with you?"
Shao Lei giggled and said, "He knows that I miss you, so he will definitely not do anything to you, and I will be in big trouble."
Shangguan punched him in the chest, and Shao Lei yelled, and quickly put away his grinning face, and said seriously: "I'm serious, don't meddle in their affairs. My brother only has Sister-in-law, we all hope she can come back soon."
Shangguan shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal, and after a while, said quietly: "Of course I don't care, but I won't interfere, can you guarantee that no one else interferes?"
Playing late that day, they came out of the leisure center and went to a nearby farm to pick oranges.After getting into the car, Mengmeng fell asleep lying on Manzhi's body after not driving for a long time.
After seeing off Shangguan Lin, the car drove into Shao's house. Before Shao Yun came back, Shao Lei took the sleeping Mengmeng from Manzhi and said to her, "Go in and sit for a while, my brother should be here soon." I'm back." He had already secretly called Shao Yun.
Manzhi hurriedly said: "No, I'm going back, anyway, I have nothing to do." After playing for a whole day, she was very tired at this time.
Shao Lei couldn't keep it, so he had to give up, secretly annoyed why Shao Yun hadn't come back, and a chance for nothing was wasted like this.
In fact, although the two brothers live together, they seldom meet each other. During the day, they are busy with their own business. Unless they have an appointment, they will not go home at the same time. Shao Yun often has social gatherings outside, and usually comes back late.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, Shao Lei saw his brother in the company's restaurant.
Shao Yun seldom visited the restaurant, and the secretary sent him directly to the office. He was in a good mood that day and wanted to go out for a walk, so he left the things in hand and went to the restaurant with Kong Lingyi.
Arrived a bit early, most of the mid-level managers of Shao's had dinner around one o'clock, and there were only a few diners dotted in the restaurant. When they saw Shao Yun, they immediately got up and came over to say hello.
Shao Yun responded indifferently, he didn't like to talk about business during the meal, spoiling each other's appetite, the staff knew his temper well, so they quickly returned to their seats.
Immediately, someone served two lunch boxes, which were also four dishes and one soup, but they were more refined than those in the staff restaurant.
As soon as he moved his chopsticks, Shao Lei's loud laughter came from the door. When he saw his brother, his eyes lit up immediately, and he left his companion and ran over wheezing.
"It's rare, big brother, I didn't expect to see you here today, hehe."
Shao Yun glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile: "There's so much nonsense, sit down if you want to eat."
Shao Lei glanced at Kong Lingyi on the opposite side, and when she saw this, she nodded and smiled at him as a greeting.In fact, the two are not strangers. When Shao Yun was still in the planning department, he often went to the office to find his brother.Every time he saw Kong Lingyi, Shao Lei felt unspeakably awkward. Although she was not as unbearable as people said, in his heart, he always felt that Kong Lingyi was also responsible for the breakdown of his brother-in-law's marriage.
For a while, he also thought that his brother fell in love with Kong Lingyi, and it was reasonable to have feelings for him every day, but after a while, he felt that it was not the case at all. He was just confused and couldn't tell why. , Sometimes he slapped Shao Yun sideways, but he just patted Shao Lei on the head, calmed down and reprimanded lightly, "Kids, don't worry about it."
So he had no choice but to continue to remain confused and hostile towards Kong Lingyi.
The three of them ate together, and Shao Yun and Shao Lei naturally chatted about topics other than business.
Shao Lei and Shangguan Lin plan to get married next year. Although there are still four months to go, Shao Lei got excited early. He has been very nervous about Shangguan, so for the wedding, he always hopes to hold something novel and unique, so that her satisfy.In the past few days, he has used a lot of brains, and he really wants his brother to serve as his staff.
Kong Lingyi saw that the two brothers had a private conversation, and although he couldn't get in the mouth, it was a bit inappropriate to listen too much, so he left after hastily eating.
After Kong Lingyi left, Shao Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard that his younger brother was still rambling about the wedding, "You can just hire the wedding company."
Shao Lei said disdainfully: "Wedding companies are all the same things, they are just going through the motions and have no meaning at all. Hey, brother, what did you do with your sister-in-law at that time? I don't seem to have any impression."
Shao Yun's complexion suddenly darkened, and his heart twitched violently. He and Manzhi never held a wedding at all, and he owed her too much.
Fortunately, Shao Lei just passed this sentence indiscriminately, and didn't delve into it. He was still completely immersed in his own ideas.
"I told Arlene to go to my sister-in-law's shop this weekend. She will also arrange the wedding scene, so I can ask for advice. By the way, I went to Swan Pond Park. There is a new children's playground, and Mengmeng has been clamoring for it. Go! I took her to Yishan last week and made her so happy. It’s a pity that you didn’t go. Hey, are you free this week? Come with us when you are free.”
Shao Yun heard that Manzhi would also go, his heart moved, he lowered his head and thought for a while, but he was not sure, and said: "Let's talk about it then."
Shao Lei disapproved very much, "Brother, some things can be entrusted to others, you just let go, you don't need to do everything yourself. Take it easy when it's time to relax. Besides, if you go on like this, meeting your sister-in-law will be easier. Come less and less, there is no chance to chase her back."
Shao Yun could only smile at Shao Lei. Although this younger brother is not young, many of his ideas are very naive. Maybe he and his parents have always protected him too well. He has an optimistic personality and a kind heart, but Always a difficult task.
Shao Yun has always felt that Shao Lei is the most relaxed director of Shaw Brothers. He majored in computer science. After graduating from graduate school, he returned to Shaw Brothers and became the director of the IT department. The workload should be quite leisurely. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. Shao Yun understands his younger brother's personality and temper, and doesn't force him to take on things beyond his ability.
Shao Lei guessed his brother's expression, suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that my sister-in-law went on a blind date."
Shao Yun's heart beat obviously faster, but he said: "This is impossible."
Shao Lei asked rhetorically, "Is there anything impossible? Her sister-in-law has been enthusiastically explaining to her, and she has introduced several of them."
Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled again and said, "She won't."
"Hmph, you can't say anything about women. What if she loses her mind one day and agrees to whom? I'm afraid you will regret it and have nowhere to buy medicine." My brother became more and more calm.
After eating almost, Shao Lei tilted his head and saw Shao Yun's hand holding the chopsticks in the air, in a daze, so he poked him, "Hey, are you going on Saturday or not?"
Shao Yun glanced at him, picked up a chopstick of vegetables and stuffed them into his mouth, feeling dry and tasteless.
"Go when you have time." The tone was indifferent.
Seeing that he still couldn't answer himself with certainty, Shao Lei could only sigh to himself.
However, Shao Yun still failed to make it on Saturday.Shaw held a foundation laying ceremony in the villa area invested by Ronghu, and he had to be present.
The weather was unnaturally hot, it was already October, but the heat at noon was no different from that in midsummer.
Manzhi stood in a corner of the building materials market, arguing dryly with the owner of the tile shop. She fell in love with a floor tile with an orange-red background and irregular white stripes inlaid in the middle. Each piece was small and cohesive. It will look very lively together, and I have visited more than half of the stores, and this is the only one that has it.However, the shopkeeper is very cunning, he can see her preferences at a glance, and he insists on the price and refuses to go down.
Once the new store was selected, Manzhi devoted all his attention to the decoration.I didn't put much thought into decorating the old store at the beginning, it was purely for entertainment, but I didn't expect that after a year, I did a pretty good job.So I had higher expectations for this new store.
However, because of her brother's incident, the funds she originally spent on decoration were suddenly reduced by less than half. She originally planned to outsource it to the decoration company, and she only needed to check it regularly.As a result, she was reluctant and decided to DIY.
After looking for a lot of decoration books and studying at home for a week, I pieced together the good ideas that I saw, and got a general idea in my mind, so she geared up to attack.
She wholeheartedly wanted to decorate the new store in a unique and novel way, so she was very picky when selecting materials.
Manzhi didn't buy much, but she was so persistent, and after another ten minutes of soaking softly, the shopkeeper became annoyed, and just wanted her to leave early, so she agreed in a confused way.
Manzhi was overjoyed and just waited for the invoice to be billed.He didn't pay attention to another guest who suddenly appeared behind him.
"The color is ugly, and it's still so expensive. Lao Jiang, you're cheating again, aren't you?" The man spoke very rudely.Manzhi thought it sounded familiar, she was slightly taken aback, and looked back, but she never thought it was Shao Yun.
She couldn't hide her surprise immediately, and blurted out, "Why did you come here?"
When Lao Jiang saw Shao Yun, he immediately smiled, "Oh, Young Master Yun, how long has it been since we met!" Then he hurriedly found a chair for him, "Sit, sit."
Shao Yun waved at him, "No need." He turned to Manzhi, did not answer her question, but continued: "Did you buy it to store in the store?"
Manzhi didn't strike up a conversation, but looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he just happened to pass by or came to find her on purpose.If he came to look for him, then he was a little too amazing to find him here.
Shao Yun walked around the shop, and then called Manzhi over.
"This kind is not bad." He pointed to a large off-white brick and told her.
Manzhi looked around and muttered, "This is too common."
He looked down and saw the contempt on Manzhi's face, and felt helpless. Anyway, he had been doing interior decoration for several years, and there were half a basket of similar books at home, but it was a pity that he didn't influence her at all.
"Do you want customers to see your decoration or your products? If you want to highlight the products, the decoration must be low-key, and it can only be used as a foil. How can you put the cart before the horse."
He tried a few words of persuasion, but Manzhi still couldn't agree with her.After weighing again and again, she still ordered the one she wanted, but the price was much cheaper.
"Young Master Yun knew him, so there must be a discount." Lao Jiang looked so amiable as if he was not alone just now.After choosing the floor tiles, I had to look at the gussets of the ceiling. Manzhi said goodbye to Shao Yun very politely, and thanked Shao Yun at the same time. The discount just now was all for his sake.
Shao Yun just stopped and smiled at her, didn't say anything, and didn't follow, so Manzhi just thought he met him by chance.
The building materials market is dizzyingly large.A few years ago, when Shao Yun was still hanging around here, Manzhi came here a few times, but the situation now is completely different from then.She ran to the schematic diagram to check it before she dared to move.
The gusset area is on the other side of the market. It was a big circle to go around. After walking, I realized that it was the way I came here. In the morning, she roamed in from the entrance here.
The first shop was the largest. She wandered in and looked at the gusset samples of different colors and designs above her head. She was in trouble for a while. The color of her floor tiles was indeed special. At this moment, she didn't know which color would be suitable for her.
The boss was a little familiar, but Manzhi couldn't remember where he met her. At this time, she followed her very attentively and kept asking her, which made it even more difficult for her to make a choice.
"I just said that the floor tiles you chose are not suitable." Shao Yun's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Manzhi turned around abruptly, seeing him coming out from somewhere at some point, looking at her with a half-smile, and frowned unconsciously.
"If you insist on laying such a bright color on the floor, I advise you to choose a white ceiling, which would be safer." He ignored her disturbed frowning, and acted as her "consultant" with a calm expression.
Manzhi felt very uncomfortable. After all, it was an accessory she felt very proud of, but Shao Yun snorted at it, so she snorted coldly, ignored him, and continued to search.
The owner of the shop turned his back on Manzhi and winked at Shao Yun. He smiled faintly and waved his hand secretly.
Because Shao Yun was by her side, Manzhi was still a little restless, and when she got annoyed, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply changed to another house and continued to watch, Shao Yun just followed in a leisurely manner.
She became a little angry, "Why do you always follow me, don't you have to go to work? Are you so idle?"
Shao Yun was not annoyed either, he walked up to her with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "You are still the honorary director of Shao's, why don't you come here for fun?"
Manzhi sees that he intends to quarrel with her, and has no time to mess with him, so she turns around and chooses on her own.
But the roots of her ears were no longer clean, and Shao Yun commented on each style she liked with great interest. Manzhi was annoyed and had to admit that what he said was indeed reasonable, but she had to admit on the spot that it was a shame. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I walked around and couldn't buy anything, so I was in a hurry and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the outside of the store, Shao Yun asked behind her: "Where are you going?"
"Eat." She replied without looking back.
As soon as he heard it, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" Manzhi was startled, and tried her best to break away.
"Take you to eat, come back to pick after eating."
"I won't go." She refused flatly.
Every time I take her to an expensive and gorgeous restaurant, not to mention eating stiffly, a lot of time is wasted, she has to complete all the shopping tasks today.
Outside the store was a row of snack shops that looked like food stalls. There was a ramen restaurant that was doing a good job, surrounded by a lot of noisy diners, and there was a long queue at the checkout counter.
Manzhi squeezed over to pick him up at the end of the line, feeling a little smug in her heart. It took more than ten minutes for her turn. She knew that Shao Yun never liked to eat in this kind of place, so she wasted her time. Bar.
But he was quickly dragged out.
She was unprepared, and almost stumbled, and suddenly became furious, "What do you want?"
Shao Yun held her back, walked towards the left hand quickly, and said: "Don't eat here, it's unhygienic."
"Don't worry about it! I like it!" She protested loudly, but she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.
She was really annoyed, new hatred and old hatred rushed into her heart, why did he always talk to himself like this, regardless of other people's feelings!
She gritted her teeth and shouted: "I warn you, if you don't let go, I will, I will..."
Hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but look back at her, with a trace of teasing in his eyes, "What are you doing?"
Being held hostage by him all the time into KFC, Manzhi didn't even think of the second half of the words to threaten him.
They were divorced and never had anything to do again.
Having said that, even if she didn't get divorced, she always seemed to be able to do nothing to him.
After finding an empty seat, he forced the stiff Manzhi onto it, and then Shao Yun said in a soft voice, "I'll go buy what I want to eat, it's very fast here."
She has been walking all morning, and she "fighted" with him just now, she is indeed hungry, and when she is hungry, she tends to get tired easily, and the smell of fried chicken is wafting in the shop.
"Whatever!" She replied weakly, no longer as aggressive as before.
Looking at her complexion, Shao Yun couldn't help but smile, a bright and gentle smile, but it's a pity that Manzhi didn't even look at him.Obviously the team was not short, but he came back quickly, carrying a tray full of food.
Manzhi didn't bother to ask, glanced at the plate, grabbed a chicken roll, tore off the wrapping paper, and took two bites to quickly fill the void in her stomach.
Shao Yun methodically inserted a straw into the Coke cup, handed it to her, and then scolded: "How dare you run to eat in that kind of place?"
"I'm not as precious as you." Manzhi answered him angrily, and bit down hard again.
Shao Yun shook his head with a smile and said nothing more.
After eating most of it, he asked slowly, "I heard that you went on a blind date?"
Manzhi was drinking coke, never expected that he would ask such a question, she couldn't catch her breath, choked into her trachea, and coughed embarrassingly.
Shao Yun hurriedly wiped her with a tissue, seeing her blushing, wanted to laugh but felt distressed.
After finally calming down her cough, she caught a glimpse of his smiling eyes, and she was a little embarrassed, "What does this have to do with you?"
She really couldn't hold back her sister-in-law, so she did meet her once.When we met in a small teahouse, she ran away without finishing half a cup of tea. The other party's question was too direct, which made her unbearable.
"It doesn't matter, you control half of Shaw's lifeline now. I don't want a stranger to be in the meeting room when there is a shareholders' meeting." He spoke eloquently.
At the end of Manzhi's words, she was silent for a while, and then her mind turned around. It turned out that he was looking for him today for this matter. "Didn't you say that you don't care about my business in the future? What is this?"
Sparks flickered in Shao Yun's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, his train of thought was interrupted by the phone ringing.
Manzhi lowered her head and sipped her Coke, while listening to Shao Yun's short reply.
"Well, okay...not now, I have something else to do, please help me make an appointment at night...OK."
At the end, I added, "You reserve a seat at 'Heji' and go together at night."
After hanging up the phone, he saw that Manzhi was already wiping her mouth with a napkin and was about to leave, so he immediately frowned and said, "Sit down for a while, what are you in a hurry for?"
Manzhi looked at him with wide eyes, "Aren't you busy? Why don't you hurry up?"
Shao Yun was a little helpless, wondering if she really didn't understand or was pretending to be confused.
Duanning gradually appeared on his face, and his voice suddenly sank, "I want to sell the entire real estate business, and I am looking for a suitable buyer."
When Manzhi heard this, she was taken aback, and even forgot to raise an argument, "Why?"
As soon as the words came out of the mouth, it became clear that the question was a bit redundant.
Shao Yun and his uncle Shao Junbang have been arguing over this issue for many years. Shao Junbang has always been committed to the development of real estate, while Shao Yun advocates investing more in the machinery industry.
Now, he has only been on stage for a year and he can't wait to realize his ideal.
After a while, he murmured again: "Is there any risk?"
"Yes." He answered in the affirmative, but if he didn't try, he would never be reconciled.
Manzhi understood his temper, so she could only keep silent.
In the past two years, she has also learned to be good. There are many things that she cannot intervene in. Forcibly intervening is just asking for trouble, so it is better to let nature take its course.
Looking at the time, Manzhi still got up to leave, she still had a lot of things to do.
Shao Yun came out with her, and followed Manzhi to the store again.
When she reached the door, she stopped and turned to look at Shao Yun. There was still a smile on his face, but her expression was solemn.
"Shao Yun, there's no need for you to do this. Really, we...are already divorced, I just want to live a peaceful and peaceful life...you are the same, you have to have your own life, don't always think about the past. do you understand?"
Her meaning couldn't be more obvious. From then on, the two of them have nothing to do with each other.
She watched the smile on his face gradually fade, and felt sad in her heart, but she had to do it.
Now that she has decided to start over, she doesn't want to have any ambiguous ties with him anymore. Such futile procrastination is not good for anyone.
Shao Yun watched her pass in front of him silently, and then gradually disappeared into the crowded crowd in the store, his mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
The surrounding area was very noisy, with people coming and going, people carrying goods, making loud noises, and the sound of rumbling cars. He was the only one standing there like a wooden man, as if he was in a desert without people, and he had lost any expression.
