Life is more than just living

Chen Xu settled the old man and made lunch with the nanny. After the meal, while the old man was taking a lunch break, Chen Xu had time to change out of his work clothes. He hurriedly left the unit yesterday and is still wearing the salesman's clothes. , she walked quietly back to the house and changed into a set of clean clothes.

Chen Xu had a plan in mind. She was going to resign. School started in a week. Wu Sixian's accident this time made Chen Xu strengthen her confidence. She must spend more time with the elderly and not go to work during the winter vacation. Chen Xu still has a fixed deposit of RMB [-] and a reserve fund of several thousand yuan in his card. Plus the money from working this summer, it will be enough for the next senior year. Wu Sixian is getting older, and Chen Xu doesn't want to have any regrets, and feels that he should spend more time with her.

Chen Xu came to the mall, and the store manager He Jing seemed troubled when he saw her. Before Chen Xu could explain his purpose, He Jing said hesitantly: "Chen Xu, are you starting school soon? Do you need to prepare in advance? ? Or studying is the most important thing. Do you think this is good? I will settle your salary today. I calculated your salary in the morning. Now you can go to the finance department to pay your salary. The boss said that your performance has always been very good and your work attitude Be honest, I will give you an extra 3000 yuan, go and get it!"

Chen Xu looked at her and suddenly understood, "Sister He, someone put pressure on the boss to fire me, right?" He Jing lowered her head and dug her hand, "I don't know much about the boss, anyway, you School is about to start, right?" Chen Xu smiled, did he want to thank Li Zhilan? I also got an extra 3000 yuan in severance pay.

Chen Xu went to the finance department to collect his salary. The cashier had already prepared it in a large envelope. The cashier was a girl who had just graduated a few years ago. She looked at Chen Xu and said reluctantly, "Chen Xu, I have calculated it several times in detail. Your basic salary plus commission is a total of eleven thousand four hundred and eighty six. The boss said You add 480 yuan, so it's fourteen thousand, four hundred and eighty six. They're all here. Count them." Chen Xu smiled, took the money and counted it carefully, then pretended to say goodbye to the cashier, "Thank you. , I’m causing you trouble. Goodbye!”

This summer vacation, thanks to Liu Jingsheng's blessing, Chen Xu received a very high commission. When Chen Xu came out, she met He Jing again. She said goodbye to He Jing happily, "Sister He, thank you for your care during this time. I hope to have the opportunity to see you again. I wish you a happy life and a happy work." He Jing kept saying Nod, what a good girl, who are you provoking?

There was a bank at the corner downstairs of the mall. Chen Xu deposited the cash into his bank card and was about to go home to see if Wu Sixian was awake when he suddenly received another strange call. She looked at the number and saw that it was not Li Zhilan's. She answered it suspiciously, and heard a man's voice on the phone, "Hello, is this Miss Chen Xu?" Chen Xu said yes. The man added, "I'm Ma Mingchuan and I want to meet you. Is it convenient for you now?"

Chen Xu was a little surprised. This man Ma Mingchuan had met a few days ago, how could he have his own phone number? These strange things today are probably all related to his provocation of Li Zhilan last night, right? She deliberately asked, "Can't we say it on the phone?"

Ma Mingchuan's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "It's better to meet in person. What are you afraid of? I don't eat people."

Chen Xu already understood at this time that the visitor was not a good person, so he asked him where to meet. Ma Mingchuan said: "There is a Western restaurant opposite our company, just go there." After Chen Xu hung up the phone, he shook his head. This Ma Mingchuan had no grace. He knew he didn't have a car, but he still let himself go so far to see him. Chen Xu took the subway, then changed to the bus, and arrived at the restaurant more than an hour later. When she entered, the doorman at the door looked at Chen Xu carefully. There were few people who came here to eat Western food as beautiful as Chen Xu, but there were also few who dressed as casually as Chen Xu.

Chen Xu found Ma Mingchuan through the waiter's guidance. He raised his head and said meaningfully: "I have been waiting for you for an hour." Chen Xu did not feel embarrassed. She said confidently: "You know, I don't have a car. I came from work and took the subway to change." The bus is a short walk away, and it’s right opposite the company.”

Ma Mingchuan couldn't help but look at Chen Xu with admiration. This woman showed no timidity at all. Seeing that the people Ma Mingchuan was waiting for arrived, the waiter hurried over and asked if he wanted to order. Ma Mingchuan looked at Chen Xu, "Ma'am, please order first." Chen Xu shook his head, "I've already had lunch, Mr. Ma is free to say whatever you want!"

Ma Mingchuan looked at Chen Xu playfully, "I can order it for you." What he meant was that Chen Xu had never eaten Western food and couldn't order it. Chen Xu shook his head again, "If you can't sit in this restaurant without ordering, then I can go out and wait now. After you finish eating, we can do the same thing outside."

Ma Mingchuan's face looked a little ugly. He took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to the waiter. "I don't need to order now. I want to sit here and talk about things for a while. Please don't disturb us." The waiter withdrew. Ma Mingchuan took out another check from his bag and pushed it in front of Chen Xu. Chen Xu saw that it was endorsed by Rongfa Group and the amount was 100 million yuan. Chen Xu didn't speak, just looked up at Ma Mingchuan. After a few minutes, Ma Mingchuan suddenly laughed, "You are so calm. Well, I lose. It seems that I can't wait for your curiosity. That's it. This morning, Yidao's mother found me, Give me this check and please leave Han Yidao."

Chen Xu smiled and shook his head, "Yidao's mother would rather use 100 million to plot against me than give me a penny." Especially after the phone call last night.

Ma Mingchuan couldn't help but look at Chen Xu differently, so he had to tell the truth, "Actually, what Mrs. Han wants is for you to leave. She gave me the money and asked me to kick Yidao out of the company. Speaking of which, when I opened this company, it was also Yu Yangyang and I didn't want to be constrained by the family business and wanted to come out and take a breather. Only Han Yidao took this company seriously. At that time, the company didn't invest much money and rented a few offices and a small warehouse. Everyone just paid. 20. At that time, Han Yidao had little money, so in order to take care of his face, we agreed to such a small amount of registered capital, which seemed like a joke. After all, his mother came to me and gave us 100 million, it can be considered that our investment has paid off, but after all, I am also fighting with classmate Han Yidao, and I don’t want to make it too ugly. Do you think this is okay? You take this money on the condition that you persuade Han Yidao to withdraw his shares. Like? Such a small company is not interesting, so I just take it seriously. He is still running around doing business today, and it is said that there is progress. I have had enough fun, it is not interesting. I don’t think Yu Yangyang cares about these two dollars, That’s it, as you advise, it’s okay if the company doesn’t do it.”

Chen Xu snorted, "Why do you let me take this money? Do you think this money can better impress a woman like me who has never seen the world? In fact, you could have waited for Han Yidao to come back and explain it to him clearly. , I think he can also understand your position. But you came to me with this money behind his back. I think this is a bit of a detour. Did Han Yidao beg you in the first place? We all cooperate as equals in the first place. Let’s start a business together. It’s true that he needs money, he has done a lot, he is willing, and he deserves it, but you don’t need to be so high and mighty to trample on Yidao, right?”

Ma Mingchuan looked at Chen Xu, "Ms. Chen said something harsh. I think you have misunderstood?"

Chen Xu was unceremonious, "Mr. Ma, just call me by my name. You don't have to call me Miss Chen. I sound sarcastic and don't feel respected at all. Han Yidao has always regarded you as friends, but I didn't expect you to think of him like this." Yeah, do you look at him like a clown? I don’t deny that your skills in reincarnation are very good, and you were born into a rich family, but please, can you cherish your blessing? Don’t be so condescending and treat others like ants. ! Han Yidao is not an ant!" Chen Xu reached out and pushed the check back, "If you still regard Han Yidao as a friend, please take this check and make it clear to him. Han Yidao will not rely on you."

There was a hint of admiration on Ma Mingchuan's face, "Ms. Chen, actually now I understand a little bit why Han Yidao has done so much for you. But have you ever thought about it, with the character of his mother, you may not be able to do anything for you in this life." If you can't step through the door of their home, it's impossible for her to allow you to come in and become their wife. Instead of doing this, why don't you want to be more practical? A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper, is it that important?"

Chen Xu looked at Ma Mingchuan and said, "People with different views cannot conspire against each other. People with different views are like two parallel lines. You will find it ridiculous whatever I say, so there is no need for me to tell you this. What do you want to say to me today?" I should be done with what I have to say, right? I have nothing more to say, so that’s it.”

When Chen Xu was about to stand up, Ma Mingchuan stretched out his hand to stop him, "Let's go later." Chen Xu sat down again, "I wonder if Mr. Ma has any other advice?" Ma Mingchuan picked up a glass of water on the table and took a sip, "I'm very I admire Miss Chen, and I wonder if I can make a friend?"

Chen Xu sneered, "Making friends? What kind of friends? Those who talk or have sex?"

Ma Mingchuan smiled, and this time his smile was genuine, "I just like girls who are as transparent as you. Last time we had dinner together, I realized that Han Yidao was really stupid. He actually let you wear such cheap clothes. He is in love with you, that's all. You seem to be too young, so you haven't gotten anything from him, right? Think about it, what can you get in the end when you talk to him? A day that can't be realized. It’s just a dream. But I’m different. I’m willing to spend money. You can talk to me about money freely, as long as you don’t talk about feelings.”

Chen Xu did not jump up and slap him as Ma Mingchuan imagined. Chen Xu smiled and shook his head, "Han Yidao is good at everything, but he has a bad eye for choosing friends. Why are everyone so keen on having sex with him! But! Han Yidao’s vision in choosing a girlfriend is okay, because I won’t let him lose.”

Ma Mingchuan looked at Chen Xu intently, as if he wanted to see the truth of what she said in her eyes. Chen Xu also stared at him, "Mr. Ma, you are very contradictory: on the one hand, you want me to agree." You, so as to verify your understanding of money. You think money is omnipotent; on the other hand, you are afraid that I will agree to you, so you still hope that there are people in this world who will not succumb to money. On the one hand, you envy I am jealous that Han Yidao can love happily, but at the same time, I look down on his hard work."

Ma Mingchuan was shocked. This woman seemed calm and calm, and she suddenly revealed what was on his mind. Chen Xu stood up, "Anyway, when Yidao opened the company, you gave him a little help, no matter what your purpose was. I want to say thank you, but Yidao still has to do it yourself. Said, of course, I will also advise him, because I don’t want him to continue working together with a friend like you.”

Ma Mingchuan raised his head and looked at Chen Xu who stood up, "Ms. Chen, what's the largest amount of money you've ever spent?" Chen Xu looked down at him, "To be honest, I haven't spent much money. The largest amount of money I have ever spent is to pay tuition fees. You are trying to say that I don’t know about money! On the contrary, poor people know better how good money is. But since I was five years old, I have relied on my own money to support myself. It’s something that I get for nothing. I won't do it. What you think of us is your business. What I want to tell you is: Even if my life is as thin as paper, I still have an unyielding heart."

Chen Xu walked out with light steps. After taking a few steps, he suddenly found two people next to him who seemed familiar. After a closer look, they turned out to be the stunned Yu Yangyang and Xue Li. Chen Xu nodded to them and went out.

Yu Yangyang and Xue Li quickly walked to Ma Mingchuan's desk. Ma Mingchuan was picking up the check and putting it in his wallet. Yu Yangyang was a little excited, "Ma Mingchuan, what were you telling Chen Xu just now? What do you want to do with her in private? What do you mean? Don't you know that Han Yidao had a falling out with his family because of her? What kind of thing are you looking for? No girl? The rabbit doesn't eat the grass on the edge of the nest!" Ma Mingchuan glanced at him, "Why are you excited? What do you mean the rabbit doesn't eat the grass on the edge of the nest? The reason why the rabbit doesn't eat the grass on the edge of the nest is because the grass on the edge of the nest is not fresh enough. What do you know?"

Yu Yangyangren was fatter and taller. He was breathing heavily at this time, "What on earth do you want to do? There is no one like you! What kind of woman do you want? Why do you have to go after your brother's woman?" ?”

Ma Mingchuan looked at him with disgust as if he were a fool, "Who told you that I wanted to take advantage of her? I was just trying her for Yidao." Xue Li was also a little dissatisfied, "Brother Ma, you It can't be like this. It's not easy for them as a young couple, so don't make it worse. Why does it have to be like this? It's not easy for Brother Han recently. He is running business outside on a hot day. Doesn't all the business in our company have to be done by Brother Han? Is that right? Both of you are incompatible with each other. You don’t take this company seriously. Only Brother Han sincerely wants to continue the company. I admire Brother Han very much. I am also very optimistic about Chen Xu. You Look at the clothes she's wearing, they look cheap. Isn't it easy for a beautiful person like Chen Xu to eat well and dress well?"

Ma Mingchuan looked at her, "How do you know that Chen Xu doesn't want to take a long-term approach to catch big fish?" Xue Li was unconvinced, "Chen Xu is not that kind of person. Women understand women best." Ma Mingchuan ignored them. He quickly walked out of the western restaurant.
