Chapter 7

Qiao Xun was right, in the media industry, no matter whether it is a newspaper office, a magazine office, or even a TV station, there is no one who treats women as men and treats men as animals.

In addition, the boss of our magazine is always a big turtle that has just climbed ashore. He has learned a set of advanced experience of capitalists exploiting working people from the United States. Inadvertently let him pay for coffee.What's even more outrageous is that he is 36 years old, and he is still a golden bachelor. Without the fetters of his family, he can keep looking good no matter what.

So one day, when I was already on my way home, I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent mail due tomorrow left behind in the office, so I immediately jumped off the bus and went to the transfer agency to pick it up.The salary of cannibalism is a matter of loyalty, what's more, despite the strict requirements, the salary given by the boss is still very attractive.

He rushed out of the elevator and was about to step into the office when he heard faint voices inside.Just as I was hesitating whether to go in, I saw the door open suddenly, and the boss walked out with a gloomy expression.

I quickly bowed my head and dodged aside.He didn't notice me and walked towards the elevator.

I looked in, and I saw a figure from the back, lying on the table, trembling faintly.

It's Miss Huang.

I stood at the door, hesitated for a while, at this moment, I heard a thin, painful moan.I ran in: "What's the matter, are you okay?"

Sister Huang covered her belly with her hands, looked up and saw that it was me, and was a little surprised: "Why is it you?" There were still thin tears in her eyes, and she was weak in speaking.

I pretended not to notice her abnormality, and pointed to my desk: "I left a document here, come back and get it." "Oh." Her face was still pale, and her hands were still tightly pressed against her abdomen.I subconsciously said: "Do you have a stomachache?" She closed her eyes and said "Mmm".

I walked to my desk, quickly opened the drawer, took out a hand warmer, filled it with hot water, found a bottle of stomach medicine, poured a pill, and poured a glass of water, and walked up to Sister Huang: "Take your medicine." "I originally bought it for Aunt An, who has had stomach problems for many years, and planned to give it to her in two days, but unexpectedly, it came in handy first.

Sister Huang took the medicine and took the hot water bottle. After a long time, she looked at me and said, "Thank you." I shook my head with a smile.She seemed to be much better, and her complexion gradually returned to normal. She turned around and looked at me.

I was wearing an ordinary dark camel long down jacket and a scarf that Aunt An woven for me. Because I ran back out of breath all the way, my hair should still be a little disheveled.She kept looking at me, and finally said with some uncertainty: "It's been a long time, and I vaguely heard that you are the... daughter of Yu Chengbang, Yu's Newspaper?"

I froze for a moment, but finally nodded.

She was silent for a moment, and after a long time: "I'm sorry," she smiled at me, "I always thought you were just looking for a job for fun." I sorted out the manuscript materials on the table and looked up at her. He smiled and said nothing.

She frowned: "Call me Huang Xiaohui from now on, if you like." She winked at me, "You can call me Sister Xiaohui." I followed suit: "Okay."

I didn't ignore the slight sadness in her eyes from beginning to end.

The first thing Sang Mei did after the winter vacation was to ask me to come and play with me.

I was preparing dinner in the kitchen, while Sang Mei and Qiao Xu were sitting in the living room eating snacks, while chatting with each other.At the moment, I am crazy about the half-race handsome guy in "Sweet Spy".I shook my head, the mental age of these two people is really similar, no wonder they hit it off.

During the meal, Sang Mei asked me: "Second Sister, you haven't been back for a long time, right?" I nodded without saying a word.It's been half a year since I moved out of Yu's house, and I never went back.

Sang Mei asked again: "It's almost Chinese New Year, you should go back then?" She looked at my face, "Actually, actually..." I tapped the chopsticks in her hand: "Don't talk while eating , Be careful not to digest.” Since I moved out, except You Bo and Sang Mei, including my parents, no one has ever contacted me, not even a phone call.

Family affection is not necessarily thicker than paper.

Sang Mei looked at me, looked at me again, and finally stopped talking.

After eating, I sat for a while. I was afraid that my uncle and aunt would be worried, so I urged Sang Mei to go back quickly. The college entrance examination is coming soon. She is the baby that the whole family protects.When I went downstairs, beside the deserted street, I could not see the family car and the driver Lao Zhang. I was puzzled: "Sang Xiao, Lao Zhang didn't come to pick you up?" She stuck out her tongue at me: "I'll tell Mom Classmates' house to play, just go back and take a taxi."

She is smart.I understood and nodded.

In the cold wind, while waiting for the car, Sang Mei said coldly, "Second Sister, do you know, I heard from He Yanbai that Brother Yan Qing will be engaged in the next year." He Yanbai is He Yanqing's younger brother and Sang Mei's classmate.I said "Oh" and turned my head to see if there was a car approaching in the distance: "Remember to congratulate him for me."

Then, without waiting for Sang Mei to continue, she casually asked, "How is your family?"

"Ah, grandparents are very good. I went to the ends of the earth to play a while ago. The eldest aunt is also very good. The second uncle and the eldest sister are always so busy. The second aunt is busy playing cards every day. My parents are still old. It looks like..." As soon as she said it, the chatterbox couldn't stop.

I bowed my head and smiled.

Suddenly, she remembered something and leaned into my ear: "Second sister, two days ago, the eldest sister was not at home, I overheard grandparents, and the eldest aunt chatting with the second uncle, saying that there will be a happy event at home soon. , Auntie is so happy," she grimaced, "They still scold me and don't let me listen, thinking I'm stupid, but actually..."

At this moment, a taxi approached, and I quickly waved: "Sang Mei, hurry up."

This year, I was born to commit Tai Sui, so I encountered this evil star again and again.

In the empty elevator, I bowed my head, carefully and cautiously sorted out the interview outline, closed my eyes and recited silently in my heart.It is said that the boss of this company is so strict and punctual that he is outrageous, and his thinking is clear and quick, so he is not easy to deal with.Ms. Huang Xiaohui went to great lengths to make arrangements, and it was the first time that she assigned such an important task to me. If I am not happy, it is definitely my duplicity and hypocrisy.

Suddenly, the elevator stopped on a certain floor and stopped moving.I opened my eyes and saw the door slowly open, and my eyes involuntarily opened wider and wider.

Of the two people standing and waiting for the elevator, one of them was Long Feimo.He seemed to be taken aback when he saw me.I lowered my eyes and gave way in.This is the public area.

He turned his head, said a few words to the middle-aged man beside him, and then walked in.

I continued to lower my eyebrows and looked at the information that Sister Huang gave me in my hand: male, 52 years old, without formal higher education, but with unique strategies. In 1996, he took out the five most profitable factories for capital internationalization, and in 5 In 2003, the company's operating income exceeded 50 billion yuan, and it has unique insights into the management model and marketing methods of multinational companies...

I memorized it silently.

Suddenly, I heard a voice, unhurriedly: "Interview with Mr. Xu?" I raised my eyes, and he was half leaning against the elevator wall, with his fingers in his pockets, casually speaking.I bit my lip and didn't answer.

He didn't seem to care, and still said unhurriedly: "If you press this..." He tapped the piece of paper in my hand with his chin, raised his eyebrows at me, "I guarantee you will be dismissed by him in less than 5 minutes." Come out." He lazily said, "Entrepreneurs' time is not wasted like this."

I bit my lip again.At this moment, the elevator stopped again, he glanced at me and walked out.

Unfortunately, he was right.

In the large office, the man with sharp eyes and his head buried in the documents all the time answered questions in a few words, perfunctorily, and rarely even raised his head.I suspect that he didn't see what I looked like from the beginning to the end.

After 5 minutes, I was depressed and stood at the elevator again.

Just as I was about to go downstairs, the secretary suddenly called softly: "That..." She rushed over neatly, "Reporter Yu, right?"

I don't know so I nodded.

A sweet smile appeared on her lovely Apple face: "Our President Xu said that he has guests now, but if you don't mind, wait for him for four or ten minutes, and he is willing to continue to accept your interview."

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was overjoyed: "Okay, thank you."

I don't mind, of course I don't mind.

He finally raised his head and looked at me, bluntly said: "Your name is Yu Sangxiao?" I nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xu." He still looked at me: "Is this good? The so-called news and deeds are already hated, let's chat casually," he actually smiled, "talk wherever you want," he looked at his watch, "half an hour, okay?"

I was startled, then nodded quickly: "Okay."

I can finally ask the questions I really want to ask, and he ponders, smiles, and reminisces.It went smoother than I imagined.

When it was almost over, the phone on his desk rang. He looked at the number and quickly picked it up: "Lingling, where are you now? In Hong Kong? I asked Uncle Xia to pick you up, did you get it? Be careful Come on, have fun, pay attention to the traffic... Well, Dad misses you too..."

I walked out quietly, my eyes were a little sour.Before the interview, I specially listed a small file, one line:
There is an only daughter who studies in France and loves her too much.

His daughter is my age.

The sky has already started to lightly drizzle.Walking out of the gate, turning the corner, I walked straight over: "Thank you." He sat in the back seat of the car, glanced at me, and said very calmly, "Thank me for what?"

The middle-aged man in the driver's seat who was about to start the car turned around and stared at me with interest.Long Fei shot him a glance, and he immediately turned around.

Long Feimo raised his eyes and looked at the sky: "I still have a little time, if you want, you can take a ride." I shook my head, took a step back, and said vigilantly, "No, thank you." I hold a grudge very much.

He nodded, and directly ordered: "Drive." The window slowly slid up.Just as the car was about to start, I heard a voice, intriguingly saying: "Remember, you can't eat your bones."

As the year approaches, work is as busy as ever.

This weekend, I took the time to go to the street and entered a pottery shop.

The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days. Uncle Fang has always been a loner, but every year he politely refuses students to accompany him to celebrate the new year. According to him: "I am used to it".But no matter what, I still want to back up the new year's gift for him.Just when I was hesitating about two purple sand teapots with different shapes but very unique under the enthusiastic and eloquent recommendation of the clerk, my mobile phone rang.

I took it out and took a look. Coincidentally, it was Uncle Fang's. "Sang Xiao," his voice was still so deep and magnetic. "Ah, Uncle Fang." I replied, distractedly responding to the clerk.

He was very keen: "Shopping? Shopping?" I gave a "hmm" and gestured to the clerk, telling her to wait while she was spitting all over her mouth.He seemed to have opened his eyes: "Don't you choose some gift for me?" He coughed, "Little girl, you don't have to be polite." I smiled: "It should." He raised his voice very displeased: "I If you don’t need it, don’t use it, how much do you have a month’s salary, why waste it?”

I said nothing.

He couldn't hear my answer, so he asked again: "Sang Xiao, are you free tomorrow night?" His tone has returned to the usual gentleness.

I was stunned for a moment: "I'm free." He smiled lightly on the other end of the phone: "I have two concert tickets in my hand. If you are not busy with a date, you can accompany me, a half-old man, to listen to it, and it will be treated as a gift." I have a present, okay?"

I knew his temper well, so I just nodded: "Okay."

He gave a satisfied "hmm" and hung up the phone.

A few days later, when I was busy working on manuscripts in the agency, my mother actually called me.I was so surprised that I didn't react for a long time while holding the microphone.

Her voice was very flat: "Sang Xiao, you haven't been back for a long time." I was silent for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." She was still a little careless: "How are you doing recently? I heard from Youbo that you have passed It's alright." I said "yes" lightly.

A Fei on the opposite side gestured: "Reader?" I shook my head.

Another voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sang Xiao, this Sunday is Sang Tong's 25th birthday, do you still remember?" I smiled: "Yes."

I remember it very clearly.

But Mom, you seem to have forgotten that you have a daughter whose birthday is only seven days older than Sang Tong.

Hearing my answer, my mother was obviously satisfied, as if she had completed a task: "Grandpa is not in good health recently, so he told me to call you and ask you to come back that day, and..." She paused, "Anyway , you remember to come back then."

I hurriedly said: "Mom, I'm afraid I can't..." I was very busy, and I had no plans to go back at all.

Without any explanation, she hung up the phone directly.

Busy day after day, I have already forgotten that phone call completely.Until one afternoon, Ubo drove his cool Subaru Impreza and honked the horn downstairs, and I didn't realize it.

I ran down, a little strangely: "Why are you looking for me when you have time?"

Young Master Yu's name, especially the weekend rest calendar, has always been inseparable from those celebrities.He said impatiently, "Dad didn't force me to pick you up." After that, he muttered, "What's the big deal? The whole family must be here, and I'm going to postpone an important appointment." He looked Looking at me, sighing and frowning: "Did you just come back from Ethiopia? You are sallow and thin, and you don't dress up. If you say that you are my sister, someone Yu, where will I put my face?"

As he spoke, he shook his head, pressed the rear window, and showed another smiling face.

I was a little taken aback.

It was Guan Mu, who waved to me: "Hi, Sang Xiao, long time no see." It was a long time no see, since Christmas Eve, he was probably very busy, only made a few calls and occasionally sent text messages.

I nodded and smiled at him.But looking back at Youbo, I was still embarrassed: "Brother, you go back, I'm very busy."

Youbo frowned: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I came all the way to see you to pick you up. Besides, even if you don't accept my favor, you have to give Lawyer Guan some face?" He glanced at me, "Besides Now, Sang Xiao, it’s inevitable that the family will be noisy, but do you intend not to go back for the rest of your life?” Guan Mu immediately cooperated and joked: “Sang Xiao, you will not be busier than me, a barrister, right?”

I sigh.In the entire Yu family, the only ones I can't resist are You Bo and Sang Mei.So, pinched left and right by two tubes of super glue, I had no choice but to finally get into Ubo's car.

Youbo drove out quickly, and gradually I realized that the direction was not right: "Brother, aren't we going home?" He squinted at me from the rearview mirror: "Why are you in such a hurry, we passers-by A and B arrive at night That's fine," he then said to Guan Mu, "Lawyer Guan, sacrifice half a day of your time, and give me, my silly sister, a good job as a consultant later."

I froze for a moment, puzzled, until Ubo led me into a boutique clothing store, and I understood: "You want to buy clothes for me?" He exhaled angrily: "Birthday gift, love Do you want it or not?" I looked at his sloppy look, I was moved and wanted to laugh, and in a blink of an eye, Guan Mu was browsing through the women's clothing one by one dutifully, and I pulled You Bo aside: "Then, you What is he looking for?" You Bo poked me, and said bitterly: "You pig head! Brother, I tried my best to find you such a wealthy son-in-law who is more than enough for you. You are fine, just ask idiot questions. He looked at Guan Mu, "In a while, tell him to go home and have a meal together."

I was startled: "What?" I pulled Ubo, "Is this not good?" Ubo whistled: "What's wrong?" He hugged me and said with a playful smile, "Don't worry, yours Big brother and I are responsible for lifelong affairs, we brothers and sisters can't be preempted by Sang Tong in everything, right?"

I couldn't laugh or cry, I subconsciously looked at Guan Mu, who was also looking at me, raised his eyebrows at me, and grinned.

No matter how I look at it, I feel that there is a trace of conspiracy in his smile.

Three hours later, I stood in front of the mirror, barely recognizing myself.

The straight long hair of noodles in clear soup was made into a slightly curly shape by the hair stylist at the behest of You Bo, and the face was lightly applied with powder. You Bo also picked out a purple cashmere knee-length coat for me, a pair of velvet trousers, and With a pair of dark boots, all forced me to wear.

I stood like a puppet, looking at myself who was completely different from the front and back, and was a little dumbfounded.

You Bo whistled at me again, and Guan Mu's eyes were full of appreciation.

Young Master Yu clapped his hands: "Isn't that good? Clothes are what make a person depend on clothes. Is it possible for our ancestors not to listen to what they say?" He actually boasted to Guan Mu in a serious manner, "Now, I'm an idiot! It’s okay for my sister to go to the beauty pageant, right? Miss Hong Kong is no problem!” He tapped my head and made a gesture, “Girl, I can’t tell. Yes, our woman is your highest."

He looked at me: "Fortunately, the legs are long, which is quite well-proportioned, otherwise, wouldn't it be like a long bamboo pole?" He muttered thoughtfully, "I don't know who it looks like."

Guan Mu stood aside and took out a scarf like a conjuring: "Sang Xiao, happy birthday, happy birthday." I was very embarrassed, Youbo looked at his watch, and whistled again: "Go, go home——"

Entering the living room, I found that the house was really lively.

Grandparents, aunts, parents, uncles and aunts, including Sang Mei, all gathered together.On the sofa directly opposite them, sat Sangtong and the Long family brothers.Long Feige saw me first, ran over immediately, and said loudly: "Oh my god, Sang Xiao, you are really..." He scratched his head, "...Shotguns for guns."

I smiled at him, forget it, forgive him for being agitated for a while and not choosing what to say.

Long Feimo first looked at Guan Mu, and then turned to me, as if meeting me for the first time, his eyes were as sharp and elusive as ever.

Under Youbo's introduction, Guan Mu greeted everyone politely, and then smiled at Long Feimo: "Feimo, you arrived earlier than me."

Long Feimo smiled and said lightly, "Yes, just a little earlier."

I walked over and greeted my grandparents one by one, and they were a little unfamiliar with each other.

Grandpa just said "hmm", and grandma nodded to me, but my aunt was in a rare mood and enthusiastic: "Sang Xiao, haven't you been back for a long time?" I nodded and smiled.She smiled very kindly: "Look, living alone outside, you're much thinner." She looked at Sang Tong, "Sang Tong is thinner than our family, because of her birthday, remember to eat more later .”

I looked at Sang Tong, she was talking to Long Feige with a smile, she was in a good mood.

Suddenly remembered the day of the concert, when the concert was over, Uncle Fang looked into the distance, then turned to look at me: "Sang Xiao, I seem to have seen Sang Tong." I was stunned: "Really?" Standing up and looking over, amidst the crowds, it was impossible to tell who was who.

Walking a long way, Uncle Fang casually asked, "Has Sang Tong got a boyfriend?" I nodded, "Probably." Looking at the special porridge shop not far away: "Come on, come in with me for a drink." I don't know why, but that look in his eyes left a deep impression on me.

During dinner, the whole family was hospitable to entertain the two brothers of the Long family, as well as the uninvited Guan Mu.

In terms of work, my father should be very familiar with Guan Mu, but I think, under Youbo's ambiguous hints, he is now a little confused when Guan Mu actually got together with me.However, he just glanced at me briefly, and then he was busy entertaining guests.

It can be seen that his father's attitude towards Long Feimo is as always attentive and cautious.

As for me, I ate without appetite, planning to go back sooner.

After dinner, when everyone was chatting together, Sang Mei looked at the scarf I put on the back of the chair, and asked casually, "Second sister, is it an authentic Burberry imported from the UK?"

Xiao Nizi has always been a fan of foreign goods.

Before I could open my mouth, Guan Mu smiled and said, "Yes, I gave it to Sang Xiao, she just celebrated her birthday." This sentence attracted everyone's attention.

I heard my father not far away cough lightly, and then, Sang Tong turned his face, glanced at me, then looked at Guan Mu, and took a sip of his drink: "I thought Lawyer Guan was busy." With a faint sarcasm.Guan Mu still smiled and said unhurriedly: "I am very busy. However, I have always separated work and life very clearly."

Sang Tong opened her mouth again: "Lawyer Guan, I seem to have heard that you have a childhood sweetheart who is gentle and beautiful..." She glanced at me, and the corners of her lips curled slightly, "Girlfriend?" I should have heard about the relationship between Guan Mu and I have been waiting for today.

I lowered my eyes, indifferent.

Guan Mu still said calmly: "Miss Yu, I'm afraid you missed two words 'once'." He turned to me and smiled slightly, "How can it be possible for people not to have a past, but after all, we have been together for such a long time. I think Sang Xiao will understand that the present and the future are more important to us, right?"

His smile is like a cunning fox.He was talking to me, but his eyes drifted to the left.I was a little puzzled and subconsciously turned to look at the Long family brothers sitting on the sofa on the left. Long Feige listened with interest, but Long Feimo remained indifferent and stayed out of the matter.

Youbo next to me became a little impatient: "Why are you playing charades? You only talk about these boring things." He frowned, "Hey, I have eaten my meal and my birthday is over. Tell me something, I have to go out later. Don't delay me from doing serious business!" For a long time, his laziness has been in sharp contrast with Sang Tong's competitiveness. Discord.

The father scolded: "Is it good to be a little bit good? Look at you," he pointed at You Bo with his finger, "Either you don't see anyone all day long, or you eat and drink, if this continues..."

The mother was not happy: "After all, he is your only son, and his parents are still in front of you, don't just scold him!" She bit the word "only" very hard. .

Father's face flushed slightly, he glared at Youbo, and stopped talking.

After a slightly awkward silence, I heard my grandfather's voice. After coughing, he was very kind and affectionate, not without temptation: "Fei Mo, speaking of it, you haven't been here for a long time."

"Look at what you said, he has such a big career, how can he come here often?" It was the grandmother's voice, with the same affection, "If it weren't for such an important matter today, Fei Mo might not have time to spare, Isn't it?" She looked around again, then paused: "Fei Mo, look, everyone is already here." There was encouragement and urging in her words, as well as some uneasiness.

I glanced at Sang Tong and lowered her head, a rare and shy look.

Oh I got it.

No wonder I was rushed home so uncharacteristically, no wonder the whole family gathered in such a grand way.I lowered my head and hid myself behind the tall Youbo, half leaning on his shoulder, closing my eyes and meditating.

Last night, I had to catch up on the manuscript all night. I was extremely tired, and I just wanted to wait for the opportunity to go back to sleep. There is still tomorrow.In addition, I submitted a long article a while ago, and the publisher has already responded, but it still needs to be revised, and I have to find time in the past two days.

Busy is busy, life is quite fulfilling.

I closed my eyes, just waiting for the male protagonist to speak, and my heart lightened slightly, there will definitely be another piece of news in the newspaper tomorrow.

Sure enough, not long after, the magnetic voice sounded slowly: "Thank you for agreeing."

There was silence in the room, as if everyone was waiting with bated breath for him to continue speaking, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly tense.

I smiled lightly, showing myself deeper and more thoroughly.

In the future, my future husband should not be so grand.

While I was thinking wildly, suddenly, a voice rang in my ears: "Yu Sangxiao."

Startled, I opened my eyes.

I first saw a meaningful smiling face, which belonged to Guan Mu.Then, I touched a pair of deep and bottomless eyes.Then, a pair of hands, with just the right strength, dragged me out from behind Youbo with faint anger.

Caught off guard, I fell into the arms of a strange man with a faint smell of tobacco.

I heard Sang Mei's low exclamation.For a moment, I had the same urge.Because I heard the voice next to my ear, said unhurriedly: "Thank you for agreeing to my marriage with Sang Xiao."
