False Poor and Real Boss

"Is the office move going well?" Xin Rong stood in the reception room, watching the traffic outside the window.

"It went well. Sissy and I don't have much."

"Well, let me invite you to dinner with your friends tonight to celebrate your first day at work."

"So good?" Xin Mi turned around on the chair, hesitantly said, "You don't have to work overtime today?"

"The new product is already on the market, and I feel relaxed now." Xin Rong chuckled, "Of course I don't need to work overtime."

"It's great, Dad must be very satisfied when he comes back."

Xin Rong twitched the corners of her mouth, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "That's it. I still have something to do, so I'll come pick you up tonight."

Putting away the phone, Xin Rong opened the door and went to the consulting room next door.

Zhou Yan was already waiting inside.He was younger than Xin Rong imagined, in his early thirties, tall, thin, elegant, with an approachable and gentle temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Xin."

"Hello, Professor Zhou."

The two shook hands, and Xin Rong sat down on the couch opposite Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan looked at the position he had chosen, and smiled silently.There are three sofa chairs in this consulting room. Most of the time, his visitors will wait for him to sit down before taking a seat, and they often choose a relatively small sofa chair.As soon as Xin Rong came in, he sat on the biggest sofa, which is enough to show the strength and confidence of this man.

"Mr. Xin, it's the first time we meet. I don't have too many professional questions to ask. I just want to get a preliminary understanding of your situation."

This was exactly what Xin Rong hoped, he had no objection and nodded.

Zhou Yan asked him to sit in a relaxed position, and then asked him some basic family information.

With a calm face, Xin Rong answered one by one.

Only when he asked about his mother, Xin Rong's face changed a little.

"My father and my mother divorced very early, and my mother never remarried."

Zhou Yan asked as calmly as possible: "Then your mother lives alone now?"

Xin Rong hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's right. She became a monk shortly after my father divorced."

A trace of surprise flashed across Zhou Yan's face: "A monk? Is it the one I understand... a monk in a temple?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yan nodded slowly, and said again: "Can I ask, how do you feel about the fact that your mother became a monk?"

"I respect her choice."

"Well... I mean, when you knew your mother was going to become a monk, how did you feel? How did you feel as a child?"

"Of course, if the question makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to answer it."

What mood?Xin Rong thought about it carefully, and he seemed to be in the second grade at that time.My father had another woman outside, and my mother, who came from a scholarly family, didn't cry or make trouble when she found out, she just asked for a divorce from my father.The father disagreed at first, and tried hard to keep her, let her stay for the sake of a pair of children, and swore that he would change his past and treat her well in the future.But the mother's attitude was very firm, and shortly after giving birth to Xin Mi, she drew up a divorce agreement and asked her father to sign it.

On the day the two officially signed the divorce agreement, Xin Rong was present.As soon as he came home from school, before he put down his schoolbag, his mother called him into the room and said that he had something to talk to him about.

"Xiao Rong, I'm sorry. Mom and Dad are going to divorce. Mom won't be with you anymore. You have to take good care of yourself and your sister, you know?"

The mother who was always gentle and considerate in my memory, it was the first time that her eyes were so firm, even ruthless.

"Isn't it good for you to be with Dad? I don't want you to go..."

At that time, he was still too young to understand what kind of despair and heartbreak his mother had experienced before making this decision.With red eyes, he begged her to stay, but his mother didn't show any emotion.

"No one stays with anyone forever."

The mother touched his face, and finally kissed him on the forehead: "Xiao Rong, I'm leaving. You will have a new mother, so don't think of me in the future, okay?"

Why not think of her?The young Xin Rong didn't understand.Until two years later, when he was holding the toddler Xin Mi, when he was offering incense in a temple in the mountains, he saw his mother holding a broom and wearing a coarse cotton coat.

All her beautiful long hair was shaved off, and she wore a gray cloth cap on her head. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, as if she was a stranger.

He excitedly led Xin Mi forward, wanting her to hug her or talk to him, but when the woman saw him, her gaze remained calm.

"Little benefactor, Poor Ni has already converted to Buddhism, and the entanglement in the world of mortals has long been settled. Please take care of yourself, little benefactor."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left, her thin back was even more heartless than when she left home two years ago.Xin Rong stared blankly at her disappearing behind the Buddha statue in the main hall.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had completely lost his mother.

"Mr. Xin?"

It is a good thing that Zhou Yan noticed the absence of the man opposite him, which means that he is recalling some important memories to him.But being immersed in memories for a long time is not helpful to the consultation itself, he needs to help him get out.

After Xin Rong realized what he was thinking of, his gaze sank. He changed his sitting position and said to Zhou Yan apologetically, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"It's okay." Zhou Yan smiled gently: "Let's go back to the question just now, can we?"

"Yes." Xin Rong said calmly, "I didn't know she was a monk until I saw her in the temple. She is very cold to me, maybe she is like this to everyone..."

Xin Rong laughed at herself: "I hate why my dad broke her heart, and I also hate myself for not letting her stay."

"What about your mother? Do you... hate her?"

hate it?Of course I hate it.He hated why she left so unfeelingly, hated why she had to become another person, hated her for killing his favorite mother with her own hands, but besides hatred, there were more things that he couldn't even explain clearly.

"Can I not answer this question?"

Zhou Yan keenly caught the sadness in his eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Of course."

"Mr. Xin, if you don't like this way of talking, we can try something else next time." Zhou Yan glanced at the clock on the wall and suggested.

Xin Rong's psychological defense is too heavy, and she is too rational, always suppressing her feelings and emotions in her heart.Zhou Yan understood that he needed to adopt some unconventional means if he wanted the consultation to proceed smoothly.

"Other?" Xin Rong was puzzled.

Zhou Yan smiled: "Sand table therapy, hypnotherapy, empty chair monologue, family grid, everything is fine. You don't even have to say a word."

Xin Rong also laughed: "Except for hypnosis, everything else is fine. Please, Professor Zhou."

"No trouble, this is my job." Zhou Yan nodded to him: "Then, let's stop here today. We will still be the same next time."

"it is good."

As soon as Xin Rong came out of Zhou Yan's studio, the phone rang.

It was a reminder to accept documents in the work group, and it was sent by the boss of the finance department.He opened it and took a look, his eyes flicked across several highlighted data on the inside and outside, and the corner of his mouth twitched downward.

Yes, his courage is getting bigger and bigger, and now he dares to embezzle public funds under his nose.

Xin Rong went back to the company. A new product has just been launched recently. Except for the sales and production department, other departments are not so busy for the time being, and no one in the company works overtime.Seeing Xin Rong appear, several employees were surprised.

"Is Mr. Wang here?" Xin Rong asked the deputy director of the purchasing department.

It was rare to work overtime, and it happened that Mr. Xiao Xin was here, and the deputy supervisor was delighted at his chance to perform. Hearing Xin Rong's question, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Should be back next Monday."

After finishing speaking, he was a little puzzled, Mr. Xin should know all about the executive's itinerary, why did he still ask him?

"He's alone?"

"No, there is also the new intern Xiaoliu, Mr. Wang also asked her to learn from the past."

Xin Rong has seen Xiaoliu a few times, she is quite a quiet girl, fair and pretty, she spends most of her time immersed in work.

Meeting with suppliers, bringing an intern there to learn something?Xin Rong sneered in her heart, the old fox's preferences have not changed.

Seeing Xin Rong's displeasure, the deputy supervisor noticed something, and said cautiously: "Mr. Xin, why don't I tell Mr. Wang to come back earlier?"

"No. You ask Xiao Liu to come back first. Aren't you checking the procurement contracts recently? Let her come back to help."

"Okay, Mr. Xin."

After Xin Rong finished talking with Mr. Zhang of the Finance Department, it was time for dinner.He had asked Yue Yang to help him book a restaurant for dinner, which was very close to Xin Mi's office building, within a 10-minute walk.

Xin Rong drove there, it was the weekend, and many people came out to eat.It took him a while to find a parking space, park the car, and take the elevator upstairs.As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, they happened to meet Xin Mi and Cheng Qianqian who came up from the other side.

"Brother!" Xin Mi hugged Cheng Qianqian's arm and waved to him.

"Let me introduce you, my partner, Cheng Qianxi." She proudly introduced to Xin Rong.

Cheng Qianqian smiled embarrassedly, and nodded to Xin Rong: "Brother Xin Rong, hello."

"Hello."

He politely asked a few questions about Cheng Qianqian's situation, and the latter answered them one by one in a calm and generous manner.

The three of them went to the booth inside to eat.This restaurant specializes in steak and pasta, because the steak is fresh and tastes authentic, and it is full of customers on weekends.Yue Yang failed to grab a box, and it took him a lot of effort to book the seat in the lobby.

Although the booths are separated from each other, it is still not suitable for Xin Rong who likes to eat quietly.Especially when he was sitting outside, from time to time, waiters passed by with trays, and children were chasing and playing.But seeing that Xin Mi was quite satisfied with the environment here, he didn't say anything.

The steak and pasta came, and the two girls ate while chatting. He couldn't get in any words, and silently ate the steak on his plate.A waiter accidentally passed by on the way, and the soup in the tray spilled a few drops on his suit jacket, and Xin Rong's not-so-good mood was completely ruined.

"I'm sorry sir, I was not careful." The waiter was probably new and very young.Xin Rong didn't want to argue with him, not to mention there were two girls around.

"Forget it, pay attention next time."

He greeted Xin Mi and went to the bathroom frowning.
