carol

Ke Kailuo's grandfather still passed away. Unlike ordinary people, the news will be published in newspapers, and it will affect many people and involve a huge family property; The memory of the deceased will only fade with time.Carol is only the second daughter of the second son in the family, and she has been estranged from her family in recent years, so she is not needed on many occasions.Even if she has to be present, she is allowed to just remember and pray quietly.What she can do is to take care of her family, but in such a family and such a huge scene, her family members have already been accustomed to arming themselves through years of training, and they are better able to take care of themselves; This group of people seem to be in harmony with each other.

But in short, there are still many more occasions to have dinners and get along with family members. The current situation of Ke Kailuo's divorce and even loss of custody of her daughter is still not understood by most of the family members. If it is not for the only care and support of her eldest brother, she is really not sure. Do you have enough courage to survive every time.All kinds of labels, all kinds of questions, seem to be stuck on her face, even if she should be the closest family member, this kind of embarrassment that cannot be solved is still unbearable.And when they really want to touch the problem, the thoughts in their hearts are so clear in Carol's eyes: they don't want to understand, they don't want to accept.The best response was pity, pity that she was hopelessly stupid, though they never said it.And it is impossible for her to defend herself. After all, every relationship of everyone may have helplessness and unbearable parts. She doesn't even know that she chooses to face it calmly, which is really more important than other people who choose to endure. wise?

"Your father wants you to go on a blind date. I've seen it, and it's not bad." After the meal, mother took out a document from her bag and handed it to Kailuo.

"Well, I see." Carol accepted it, but she didn't intend to open it at all, but Gu Nian mother immediately read the information.

"Your father's friend took the initiative to introduce it. Uncle Zhang, you know, he supplies our oil products." Mom also leaned over and took another look at the photo of the blind date. She looks like a human... and she seems to be doing design-related work, which should fit you pretty well!" Carol only observed her mother, and felt that her mother had suddenly aged a lot in the past two years, maybe there were too many things that worried her, Fuck it.Since it was her father's instruction to go on a blind date, she had no intention of disobeying, so she agreed to her mother.Kailo looked up and saw her elder brother Kaiwei frowning slightly and looking at her with concern; she smiled slightly at her elder brother, it was just a small matter that she could handle by herself.

On the day of the farewell ceremony, Tian Ruixin asked Kai Luo if she should go.Ke Kailuo thanked Ruixin for her kindness, but when she thought of the horror of the battle, she just told her: Unless you are a reporter, you should not come.But Amy came. Of course, almost all the families that parents knew from the generation of parents sent people to come. When Kailuo saw Abby from a distance, she greeted her with her eyes.After the lengthy ceremonies were over, she found that Aiming really stayed, and she found Carol.

"Carol! Are you okay?" Amin took her hand, and they stepped aside.

"Thank you for coming. You don't have to stay till the end..." Kailo said while stroking the back of her neck after relaxing her tense nerves.

"Later... do you want to stay? Or can I take you home?" Aiming stared at Kailuo's tired face with concern.

"I have to go to Taichung to discuss a few things tomorrow morning, and I have dinner in Taipei tonight, so I plan to leave first." Carol told Ai Ming her plan honestly.Sure enough, my mother only told me about the blind date tomorrow night, and Ai Ming also greeted Ke's mother and peers, but they didn't meet their father at all, so they got into Ai Ming's car and left first.

"The dinner tomorrow night... is it a blind date?" Ai Ming asked in the car.

"Well, my dad arranged it." Carol was still resting with her eyes closed. Thinking of this, she stared blankly ahead and sighed. "Let's go, it seems like an architect, maybe we can make friends with him." Seeing Amin give her an understanding look, Carol smiled back.

"Small things." Although Carol had only been forced to go on blind dates three or four times after the divorce, she was familiar with this kind of social activities and didn't take it seriously.

Ke Kailuo did get up early the next morning, and decided to drive off the stage. She prefers to drive herself rather than take the high-speed rail or taxi, because this complete sense of control and freedom in the car has been a thing since she was a student. Favorite time of her life.Tian Ruixin was still asleep, she made coffee, took out two thermos bottles, filled one bottle and left it for Ruixin, and also left a note for her.These days, we spend very little time with her, so we should arrange it well. Ruixin's work is so busy every day, it's not good, maybe the two of us go on vacation together!

Turning on the car stereo and listening to some news, Ke Kailuo was thinking about the work to be done in Taichung today.When she was about to divorce, she started working in a furniture import company; the boss, Brother Jia, was a friend of the family. It happened that he had some new ideas about the expansion and operation of the company at that time. He chatted with Kai Luo by chance and hit it off immediately. , Brother Jia immediately set up a new position in the company, and opened a new exhibition store in Ren'ai Road, Taipei City.

Originally, this company only specialized in imported furniture, installation and subsequent maintenance, mainly providing the latest European and American high-quality furniture to designers, relying on designers to take the initiative to purchase and cooperate; now that there is an exhibition and sales store, Ke Kailuo will be responsible for regular In renewing the [-]-square-meter exhibition and sales store, both the style and the decoration are all up to her. As long as it is within the budget, she can purchase directly at any time and take full responsibility for this exhibition that is regularly updated and fully displays the characteristics of high-quality furniture.Through the actual display, it can actively stimulate the inspiration of customers and co-designers.In order for Kailuo to concentrate on discovering trendy and characteristic objects and make the best display effect, she does not need to be responsible for the sales and performance of the store, nor does she necessarily need to communicate with customers or designers; these are all in her After a full discussion with Brother Jia, a more appropriate person was arranged or hired to take charge, so that their new business model can be promoted smoothly.

"Hello" just got off the Taichung interchange when the phone rang, and Ke Kailuo put on her earphones to answer.

"Miss Ke? I'm Vivian, will you drive over later? If yes, I'll ask them to prepare a parking space first..." Designer Lin is really thoughtful. After starting this job, some designers who often cooperate with Ke Kailuo We hit it off very well, and she is one of them. She often discusses trends and design details with Kailuo in depth; this time, she also introduced several designers in Taichung who want to get to know Kailuo.About the garden-style teahouses that are common in Taichung, in Taichung, where the weather is always good and the sun is always bright, turning into this green and peaceful space makes Carol feel really good.

During the meeting, I got to know two designers and a colleague. I feel very pretentious. Mr. Huang, a fellow furniture buyer, left a "special" impression on Ke Kailuo; of course, everyone will be amazed by Ke Kailuo's beauty , but it is rare to inquire about personal issues regardless of the occasion. Vivian and the other two designers showed embarrassment several times.

They were chatting about this year's Milan Furniture Fair. A designer who was there took out a tablet computer to share some lamps that he was particularly interested in. Everyone was admiring and discussing for a while. Coincidentally, Germany in January, Spain in February, and even Italy in April were all missed, so Mr. Huang hurriedly said: "Miss Ke, I am very familiar with Europe, just follow me next time! I can do it." Introduce you to nice hotels and restaurants!"

"Mr. Huang, you are a senior in procurement. Thank you so much for your advice! Did you see any special items this year?" Ke Kailuo wanted to focus the topic on professionalism.

"It's nothing special to go there often! It would be special if you are accompanied by a beautiful woman like you!" Mr. Huang stared at Kai Luo and said with a smile.

"Then Huang sir must tell me first when he is going abroad, I will definitely "drive" first. Hahaha!" Carol jokingly said to everyone.

At noon, Vivian originally planned to have dinner together, but after two hours, she couldn't sit still and said that Carol still had an appointment at noon, so she forced the party to end.When they entered the dressing room together, she hurriedly hugged Carol apologetically, and said, "I'm so sorry! Carol! Although I don't know him that well, I don't remember him like this..."

"It's okay, Vivian, don't mind, it's okay. I'll treat you to dinner later! I introduced so many friends to me today." Carol said sincerely.Designer Lin tilted his head and winked at her tenderly, her lovely double chins were squeezed out.

"Okay! I'll take you to eat the delicious seafood from my mother's house! Haha!" Maybe thinking of food, Vivian's eyes lit up.This is a seemingly ordinary seafood stir-fry restaurant in the port area. The air-conditioning is quite cold. Although the outfits of Ke Kailuo and Designer Lin are a bit out of line with this restaurant, in the relaxed atmosphere, it is rare for Kailuo and Vivian not to talk. Business, talk about children, Taichung, and various problems between Vivian and her in-laws.

"Actually, I'm really envious of you being single now!" Vivian excitedly even ordered a glass of beer. Carol also felt happy and made a new friend.But just about being single, it's better not to talk too much with her, Vivian must feel that it is rare for someone to talk about these topics.

"Vivian, you can take care of your family and career, which really admires me." Carol's words were not a compliment. It is not easy for working women to find a balance between family and career, or to try to maintain physical and mental health.Farewell to Designer Lin. After the meal, Ke Kailuo first visited two imported furniture companies that had checked out in advance and also had exhibition and sales outlets. In the remaining spare time, he went to the Gome Pavilion to see the current special exhibition. Then I drove back to Taipei and went directly to the blind date dinner.

In the hotel restaurant in Xinyi District, under the soft lighting, Mr. Li had already arrived first.Tall and strong with a beard, although his face was a bit tired, his eyes were full of vitality. He opened the chair for Ke Kailuo, and they exchanged business cards after they all sat down.Immediately, Mr. Li said generously: "Miss Ke, I'm very glad to have this opportunity to meet you! Although it was introduced by an elder, I hope we don't put any pressure on each other and treat it as a new friend?"

Carol also responded with a generous smile, "Yes, it's my honor too."

They introduced their work while eating, and also chatted about the places where their families intersected and the people they knew in common.Before serving the main course, Carol thought she had to explain to Mr. Li as soon as possible. "Actually, I'm sorry to say that, Mr. Li, I have no intention of remarrying or having a boyfriend." Kailo blinked but looked into the other's eyes honestly. Honesty is the best strategy.
