Bright Spring

When Xiao Deng saw the dice, he suddenly frowned and showed disgust.But she didn't say a word, and soon that expression disappeared, and she even showed a deliberate smile.

Gao Xu was a little puzzled, and said again, "In the past, everyone liked to recite poetry, but now few people practice poetry. It seems that they are more accustomed to using this thing."

Chapter One Thousand and Forty

The chef and his assistants had already left, leaving only two waiters cleaning the kitchen.

Gao Xu invites the guests to drink juice by the swimming pool in the backyard, and at the same time frees up the restaurant so that the waiters can clean it up by the way.He is not very used to doing housework, and he doesn't want to do it, so he feels that Miaojin should do less.

He was a little drunk, but it was verified again that people still have a relatively clear consciousness after being drunk.

A total of two bottles of liquor with a degree of over 50 degrees were opened, Gao Xu and Wang Cheng mainly drank it, Xiao Deng also drank a lot.The remaining two women drank mainly sweet red wine.

When Wang Cheng was drunk, he talked a lot. When a few people were sitting by the pool, he started chattering. After a while, he talked about the law.Why this topic is probably because he is familiar with it.

"Mr. Liu, let me tell you what it was like to sue in ancient times. First hit the top ten boards, and then let you sue. It's not an ordinary board. If you swing it down, the skin will be bruised. I can't imagine it." Wang Cheng mouthed. Alcoholic way.

Gao Xu shook his head and smiled.

The style and propriety at the beginning of the dinner has disappeared under the fermentation of alcohol. Everyone is more open-minded, and it has become such a scene.Alcohol is indeed a catalyst for emotions.

Wang Cheng continued: "It's different now, because it doesn't make sense logically. I'm fucking justified, and I'm taking the legal path, isn't it just because I don't pay the price? And let me pay a heavy price first, so why should I still sue? Take out a gun, bang bang bang, that's a happy enmity"

His wife, Dong Qian, was obviously more sober, so she could only laugh along with her and said, "I'm very happy at Mr. Liu's place tonight, but it's time for us to go home."

"No, Liu and I always hate seeing each other too late." Wang Cheng shook his head and said.

Dong Qian looked at Miao Jin and said, "He drank too much, don't mind too much. Wang Cheng, let's go back to rest early."

Gao Xu was also a little drunk, but he was still sober and asked, "Can I drive after drinking?"

Dong Qian said: "I don't drink much, and the car has an automatic assistance system, so nothing happens. Usually, no one checks during this period of time."

Seeing that Dong Qian was sober, Gao Xu stopped persuading her.

At this time, Xiao Deng's voice said: "I'm going back too, just call a taxi."

Gao Xu shook his head and said, "Stay here, we will send you home at night." He turned to Miao Jin and said, "I'll go see Wang Cheng and the others first."

Miao Jin nodded, stood up and said goodbye to Wang Cheng and his wife.

The three of them went out to the garage. Seeing Dong Qian sitting in the cab, Gao Xu reminded her again to drive slowly.Gao Xu returned to the house and saw that the two waiters had finished cleaning the restaurant and were about to leave, so he thanked them.

The right way is that there is no permanent banquet in the world, the chef, guests, and waiters have left one after another, and there are only three people left in the whole house at this moment.Gao Xu thought about it, and then took a rest, and when Miao Jin woke up from the sweet red wine she was drinking, he asked her to drive and take Xiao Deng back together.

There were three women tonight, only Xiao Deng drank white wine, she seemed to have something on her mind.Gao Xu recalled the scene of sending her home for the first time, her strange words at the reception last time, and her disgusted expression when he saw the dice tonight.

He vaguely guessed that Xiao Deng was troubled, but he didn't know why.But it's not good for him to ask other people's private matters directly.

Gao Xu sat back by the cool swimming pool, took a sip of orange juice, and said, "What Xiaowan said earlier makes sense. No matter what, people will eventually be loyal to their own nature. Free and unrestricted."

Xiao Deng immediately turned his head to look at Gao Xu, as if he was very interested in what he said.

Seeing this, Gao Xu said, "Modern people are even more so. At our reception in the capital a while ago, Xiao Deng expressed his gratitude many times and declared that he would not be poached away. I found it a bit strange. But it was not convenient to speak at that time. I didn't say much."

Xiao Deng blushed after drinking, but he was still sober: "I really thought so. Originally, I was just a college student who just graduated. If it weren't for Mr. Liu, how could I have any capital? I just got a little better, so I wanted to do something else. Find a way out, then I won't be an ungrateful person?"

Miao Jin didn't talk to her, she leaned on the chair and listened to the conversation between the two silently.

Gao Xu shook his head and said: "I advise you not to change jobs for the time being. I just think that you can practice more and accumulate experience. Now the time is not ripe. It's not that you don't want to keep changing jobs."

He pondered for a moment, "We have been in the industry for many years, and we have long since lost the social basis for personal attachment. I can no longer have unrealistic fantasies about almost anyone, let alone employees. It is meaningless to kidnap you morally .What you get from me is something that can be given to you without any additional conditions, and you don’t need to have any psychological burden; if you want extra benefits, I won’t give them either.”

Gao Xu paused and then said a few words relaxedly, "It's like an ordinary friend who borrows money. The amount I can borrow is limited to the acceptance that can be given away and cannot be taken back. Otherwise, I will just suffer on my own. I will suffer on my own." Is it? I think I am a more mature person.”

Little Deng Honghong's face was covered with confusion, and after a while she slowly asked, "Why?"

Gao Xu said casually: "Because I also need you and Wang Cheng. It's not that you two are specific. As long as you are reliable, have certain relevant abilities, and are willing to go all out, I will do what I do now. Can we get together? Being together is mainly because of the right fate. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, don't think about it being so complicated."

He smiled: "Even if you or Wang Cheng work with me for a long time, I hope it's not because of being forced and bound by morality, but because of satisfaction and friendship."

Xiao Deng changed his posture, leaned his upper body forward, facing the clear water in the pool, and gently rubbed his hands on his cheeks for a while.She seemed to be thinking about something, "What is the extra benefit? Is there no extra benefit at all for the remuneration paid by Mr. Liu?"

Gao Xu thought about it for a while, then raised his hand, gestured, and described: "Probably expecting something in return. Therefore, people who give extra benefits often hope that the other party will be grateful psychologically, and the reward in behavior is not limited to emotional value. Otherwise, why would each other Isn’t it equivalent exchange? The value exchange has been completed, but why should people be grateful?”

He turned his head and glanced at Miao Jin, who was half lying on the chair, and said with a smile, "For example, if I just met Xiao Wan, I gave her an expensive gift. Is it just because of social etiquette? I was expecting extra Things like sleeping with me. She gets it, either don’t accept the gift or have to give it back.”

"Vulgar!" Miao Jin rolled his eyes at him, and curled his lips.

Xiao Deng suddenly turned his head, feeling a little impulsive under the fermentation of alcohol, "Then tell me, did your parents give you any extra benefits?"

The smile on Gao Xu's face quickly disappeared completely. This topic is a bit heavy, and he can't respond hastily.Moreover, people eat five grains, there are all kinds of people, how can they be generalized?

He was silent for a moment, and felt that the topic was concrete, so he asked calmly, "Is your father gambling?"

Xiao Deng's expression of astonishment and astonishment made Gao Xu immediately understand that he didn't seem to be wrong.

She calmed down and rubbed her cheeks again, as if her heart was overwhelmed by the stimulation of liquor.

Miao Jin's voice said: "We don't have any malicious intentions, maybe we can't help you too much, but we can let you speak out, maybe it will make you feel better? Besides, gambling is not a good thing, so I can't blame you."

"Father is gambling and borrowed a lot of debt." Xiao Deng was very calm when he said this, "But after I got the huge check from Mr. Liu, I felt even more distressed."

Miao Jin glanced at Gao Xu.Gao Xu understood that he was the most experienced, and he immediately said, "If you give him the money, I guarantee that he will not repay the debt, but will continue to gamble with it."

"No" Xiao Deng shook his head.

Gao Xu was a little helpless when he heard this.

But Xiao Deng said: "The cause of my distress is not my father, but my mother." When she said this, her red face seemed to twitch slightly, "Mom will also persuade me not to give money to his father. Knowing that she has so much money, she will divorce him and live with me."

Xiao Deng's face seemed a little distorted, "I really don't want to live with her. In comparison, I would rather my father lose the money."

Gao Xu was very surprised, he froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

This usually quiet and a little introverted girl, who is usually simple and sensible, now shows a sneer, which is completely out of proportion to her image, making people vaguely feel that she has let go of herself a little bit.Maybe it's because of the catalysis of alcohol.

Her expression is full of complex negative emotions, with vague hatred and disgust.That expression gradually dissipated, and Xiao Deng murmured a little dejectedly: "She married very early, and she used to put everything on her family. Dad was involved in gambling and alcoholism for a while, and after a lot of tossing, finally Let her down completely. So she pinned everything on me. She will secretly observe and interrogate my life, and is very interested in every detail, even some things that I don't want to be spied on, even if she is me My own mother. I feel that my self-esteem has been completely torn apart.”

"She is very kind to me and takes care of me in every possible way in life. She often says that I am her everything and all her hopes, and she can't live without me." Xiao Deng smiled wryly, and sighed after a while, " I felt like I was schizophrenic, and one of them was particularly irritable and violent, and I would recall the feeling of being humiliated when I was a child, and I even hoped that she would have one earlier, and I felt sorry for her, and wanted her to live a better life in the future and enjoy things that she never had before."

Xiao Deng vented a bit, and seemed to regret it a little, she quickly fell silent.The three of them sat by the pool together, speechless for a while.

She took out the check from her pocket, and it said two million rounds.She held it in her hand, not knowing what to do.Gao Xu and Miao Jin just watched without interfering.After all, it was just a check, not cash.

The first thousand and forty-one chapters inherent truth

The piece of paper in Xiao Deng's hand symbolized a huge sum of money.
