Life is more than just living

When Chen Xu got up the next day, he had a headache. It seemed that he really couldn't drink wine. She couldn't remember what happened after she came back yesterday, and she couldn't help but feel a little shy when faced with Wu Sixian's concerned inquiry.

After the nanny came over in the morning, she accompanied Wu Sixian to buy groceries. Only Chen Xu and Han Yidao were left at home. Chen Xu looked at Han Yidao, "I will start school in five days. Let's cherish these few days. You will be very busy when you go back to work in the future."

Han Yidao saw Chen Xu drinking last night and did not discuss these matters with her. He took this opportunity to ask: "Chen Xu, why do you want me to go back this time?" Chen Xu thought for a while and said: "You You grew up in a family with good conditions. You cannot live a life without three meals a day because of me. I have been afraid of hunger since I was a child, so I hope to have a stable job after graduation. In addition, I also hope not to live a life without food because of me. I'm letting you deviate from your original life track. Don't you think your relationship with Ma Mingchuan and Yu Yangyang is different this year than before? It's hard to be friends when everyone's financial resources are so disparate. It will be difficult for you to adapt to the environment where you live. I see you working so hard to do this and that for me, and I am very embarrassed here. I used to think that I was not vain and did not worship money. A woman never covets things that don’t belong to me. But after thinking about it, if you can live a prosperous life, why do you have to suffer poverty? This is what I think. Think about it, if your mother We insist on not wanting to make things easier for both of us. We can hardly move in this city. When she appeared in front of us with a dimensionality reduction attack, we were really helpless. So after thinking about it, I think it is better for you to go back. , when you have resources in your hands, you have more say, right?"

Before Han Yidao could speak, he suddenly received a call, "Hey, Mingchuan! Oh, I have time. What's wrong? Okay."

Chen Xu watched him hang up the phone and asked, "Did Ma Mingchuan ask you out? Why do you still need to pay attention to him?" Han Yidao touched Chen Xu's hair and pinched her cheeks that were bulging out of anger. , "How can the friendship between grown men be like that of you little girls, where you can just say goodbye and break up?"

Chen Xu was still unhappy, "But I think what he did this time was very unethical. Why did he bring these things to the table? He could have told you quietly in private!"

Han Yidao ruffled her hair, "Ma Mingchuan is arrogant and doesn't think about other people's feelings, so he doesn't have many friends. Because he thinks I don't have the bad habits of rich kids and I don't want to compete with others. That’s why he can be friends with me. As for Yu Yangyang, this person is more honest and not too busy, so the three of us can get along. I know you feel sorry for me, seeing me running around like a poor boy, Thinking that I look up to others. How should I put it? As long as I don’t feel inferior, others won’t be able to hurt me. It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to worry about me!”

Han Yidao arrived at the place Ma Mingchuan had set as promised. Only Ma Mingchuan was there, and he was rinsing the tea set with the teapot in his hand. Han Yidao came in and poured a cup of tea for him. Han Yidao sat opposite him, "Do you have a problem with me?"

Ma Mingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, organized his words and said: "Yidao, what happened this time made me look like Zhu Bajie in the mirror - I am no longer a human being inside and outside. Indeed, I was very embarrassed when my aunt found me. I wanted to Refuse, but I think if I refuse, she may have another trick, and you won’t be able to guard against it. But I didn’t expect everyone to be so disgusted with what I did this time. You know, I don’t pay much attention to what I say. , maybe what I said is inappropriate, don’t take it to heart, I still value you as a friend, and I don’t want you to have any misunderstandings if we all hang out in the same circle from now on."

Han Yidao took a sip of tea, then handed the tea cup to him and said: "Mingchuan, you are thinking too much. At least I have no prejudice against you. How can a man's friendship be like a little girl's, which can be windy and rainy at times? Yes, how many years have we known each other? We have known each other for more than ten years, right? Being together for so many years means that we are still on the same page! This matter has passed, and if we talk too much, we will lose sight of it. "

Ma Mingchuan smiled, poured another cup of tea for Han Yidao, then picked up a cup himself and said, "Brother, let's drink tea instead of wine." Han Yidao did not hesitate, picked up the tea cup again and drank it all.

It was not until lunch time that Han Yidao came back sweating profusely with a handful of flowers in his hand. Looking at the delicate pink roses, Chen Xu smiled. Wu Sixian and the nanny were also watching the young couple happily. After lunch, Wu Sixian went to take a lunch break while the nanny was cleaning the kitchen. Chen Xu returned to his room, and Han Yidao followed him in. He and Chen Xu sat side by side by her bed and said: I want to spend a good few days with you before school starts. "Chen Xu nodded.

Han Yidao asked: "Where do you want to go?" Chen Xu shook his head, "In the next time, we should not be too high-profile, otherwise your mother will have to suppress you. In fact, when I am with you, I just cook at home, talk or Just sitting quietly is fine. I think life with you is a good life." Han Yidao smiled, "Silly girl, why are your requirements so low? I have no motivation to make money anymore."

Chen Xu heard this, "That's not possible! You have to make money, otherwise where will we live in the future? We don't have a house! You have to have a pen to buy a pig! How can we get married if we don't even have a place to live?" "

Han Yidao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and deliberately teased her, "Let's live with grandma. Anyway, grandma also said that this house will be used as a wedding room for us. What, you don't want to?" Chen Xu lowered his head, "No, I don't I am willing, but I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Oh, it's nothing!" Chen Xu almost let it slip.

Chen Xu had no choice but to change the subject, "Why did Ma Mingchuan come to you this morning? Why are you paying attention to him? That person is really annoying and not a friend at all." Han Yidao smiled and looked sideways at her, "Silly girl, everyone will be here from now on. There is no need to be so rigid when working in the same circle. Besides, he didn't take the check this time and gave it to me. Xue Li took it to invest, so we have a way out. Before I came back from outside today , and went to the company to sign several investment agreements with Xue Li and others. Although I will not interfere in the business here in the future, it depends on Xue Li's ability, but at last we have a way out. Besides, if Ma Mingchuan If I tell my mother about my investment, Xue Li's company won't be able to continue, so I can't offend Ma Mingchuan too much. They are all men, so that's about it. How can I be like you little girls? Today Okay, I’ll be annoyed tomorrow.”

Chen Xu sighed, "I'm not a little girl. I never seem to be a little girl." Han Yidao hugged her distressedly, "Chen Xu, I won't let you suffer anymore in the future. Leave it all to me. You don't have to worry. I will stay with you these days. I guess my mother is waiting for me to argue with her angrily, but I don’t want to fulfill her wish. I will stay with you these days first and wait until you start school. Let’s negotiate terms with her again.”

Chen Xu looked up at him, "Can the salary be negotiated?" Han Yidao was stunned for a moment, "I haven't thought about this. The condition I said is: if she lets me go back, I must let me go about things within my authority. To do it, you must be trustless in hiring people. My mother is used to being a forceful person. She likes to interfere in everything. She is also suspicious of hiring people and has to do everything by herself. This is something I can’t stand. If she wants me to go back, she must give me enough authority, otherwise I will What are you going back for? It’s no longer interesting to be the executor of her will.”

Chen Xu continued the topic just now, "I don't understand your industry, so you will be a senior executive when you go back? Then can you get reasonable benefits for yourself." Han Yidao has never thought about this problem. His own company , is there still a need to compete more and fuss over everything? After hearing what Chen Xu said, he said without hesitation: "There are salary standards for supervisors at every level in the company, so don't worry about it." Chen Xu was dissatisfied, "That won't work! She spent such a huge price to force you to go back. , it means you are more important than others, why should you make the same amount of money as others? It’s not fair! You have to charge a higher price. Han Yidao, I’m serious, I’m not kidding.”

"Okay! It's up to you," Han Yidao said with a smile, "This time I will hand over my salary card to you, and you can save it for me. When I save enough, my wife and I will get married, okay?" Chen Xu did not refuse. ,"good!"

Han Yidao was very happy and felt that his relationship with Chen Xu was getting closer. In the past, Chen Xu was very resistant to holding his card and refused to spend his money. Now he really wants to accept his own salary card. He remembered what Ma Mingchuan said when he parted with Ma Mingchuan just now: Your girlfriend is good. Of course his girlfriend is good, but I don't know why Ma Mingchuan said that, I just thought he was being polite. Han Yidao's answer at that time was: Of course, it doesn't matter who his girlfriend is.

Chen Xu never cared about Han Yidao's money before. Chen Xu loves money very much. No one understands the importance of money better than her, but she doesn't want others to say she loves money. After all, she has never coveted other people's money. But things are different now. Chen Xu has a sense of urgency. She cannot let Han Yidao fall into a very embarrassing situation in the future. She wants to help him save more money. Chen Xu felt that although Han Yidao started his own business, he did not really understand what it was like to be poor. Wu Sixian raised him very well and did not have the bad habit of spending money indiscriminately, but he was never really poor either. Chen Xu secretly gritted his teeth: Li Zhilan, you forced me to do this. Originally, Han Yidao was running his own small company outside. Even if he couldn't make a lot of money, he would not be greatly affected when he broke away from the Han family in the future. It was just a little difficult to accept this fact psychologically. But Li Zhilan forced him to return to the company. By then he would be the small boss of the company, and the day the truth came out would be like falling from heaven to hell. Based on Li Zhilan's character, knowing that he is not his biological son, there is no doubt that he will be kicked out of the company. And they won't give him another penny. By then, I'm afraid Han Yidao will be like those college students living in the provincial capital, with nothing, and may even be worse than these college students. At least he still has his hometown to go back to. I don’t know where Han Yidao’s biological parents are, and what is the situation at home? Chen Xu was afraid that Han Yidao would not be able to face him. Sometimes he was like a child and looked a little naive. He was a very sunny boy. Chen Xu hoped that he was just worried about things in vain and hoped that this day would never come, but she was used to doing well. worst plans.
