The Guide to the Tear-offs in the Online Supporting Circle Part 2: Peak Acting Skills

Consciously making a big embarrassment in front of others, Xie Zhengyan was depressed all the time during the bid opening process, and he was stagnant when making the proposal report. Not to mention the murderous sight of Wang Dafao poking his back, even he himself feels like a humble reptile, crawling and crawling with difficulty, and others can blow him to pieces with a little breath .

The result was the same as he had estimated before, and the company that bid for him this time was not shortlisted.This was originally the prediction of all colleagues except Wang Dafao, but because of Xie Zhengyan's poor performance in the report, it was logical afterwards that he took the scapegoat for his poor handling of affairs and the loss of the bid.Before he walked out of Ruiheng's office area, Wang Dafa couldn't wait to catch him swearing fiercely, as if telling him to pack up and leave immediately.

Xie Zhengyan endured the boss's humiliation without saying a word, his evasive eyes wandered left and right, and he was flustered whenever he met the inadvertent eyes of bystanders. Compared with being scolded, he was more afraid of the contempt and scorn of the people around him, the kind of injury that could never be immune It hurts more than directly scraping his skin with a knife and picking his flesh.

Fortunately, the employees of large companies are generally of high quality, and they don’t have the bad habit of watching the bustling market. Xie Zhengyan felt a little relieved that there was no pause, and he endured the verbal violence patiently.

It is difficult for a cowardly person to practice magnanimity. On the surface, he is submissive, but in his heart he hides anger and grudges. He dare not fight back against the boss, so he finds another channel to hate the company that wiped them out, and he actually finds a strong one for himself. reason.

It’s fine if the winning company’s proposal is really outstanding. If it’s so bad and still selected, it must have gone through the back door in advance to make a good relationship and use improper means to falsify!

The more he pondered, the more he felt that his conclusion was correct, and he became more and more angry because of this. Thinking of the busy day and night for more than a week and Wang Dafa's vicious words, if he didn't vent his anger, he would definitely vomit sick.As for the way of venting, with his weak personality, he had no choice but to do some tricks behind his back.

He found Xie Tiande, borrowed his mobile phone, and went to the underground parking lot of the building.During working hours, there were few vehicles coming and going, so he wandered around, found a remote location, dialed the switchboard of Ruiheng Jewelry with his second uncle's mobile phone, and went directly to the lady operator to start the training.

"Hey, are you really a first-class jewelry company in China? The aesthetic taste is too vulgar. What rubbish did you choose in today's advertising bidding for the Star Diamond series? Let's take the number one proposal as an example, not only Creativity is old-fashioned and sexist, do women get married and stay at home as yellow-faced women for a lifetime just to get a diamond ring? Could it be that your company sells South African stars, otherwise why are they so valuable?! Feminism is so active now! , once such an advertisement for straight male cancer is broadcast, I guarantee that you will be drowned in the spittle of female consumers..."

Like most people, once he hides his real body, it is like getting an invisibility cloak. If he becomes bolder, his back will become stiffer, and he will speak eloquently when he denounces him, without using a single punctuation mark.The operator thought he was dumbfounded by his scolding, mistakenly thought that he had a lot of background, and patiently communicated with him with a smile.Xie Zhengyan stepped forward, criticized the high-level aesthetics of the other party, and then revised the person in charge for using power for personal gain. After all, he was born in the Chinese Department. Although his attitude was strong, his speech did not contain dirty words. It will be regarded as the supervisory department conducting training.

He had stood for a long time before, and now he was cursing and his legs were a little numb. When he saw a silver-gray Lexus parked just behind him, the body was shiny and clean. It looked like it had just been washed this morning, so he took a step back and pressed his butt against the hood. , imitating Jiang Taigong to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and extend the denunciation by a full 10 minutes.

After hanging up the line, he only felt comfortable all over his body, his dantian was filled with energy, he breathed out readily, took advantage of the situation and smiled, thinking that he had become the Count of Monte Cristo without anyone noticing.

Suddenly, the Lexus honked loudly like a bison waking up, and he jumped out a few steps in a panic, and the window of the car cab fell down, revealing a familiar face.

Rong Chuan! ?

He blinked vigorously, and he was sure that it was the young talent whom he had met in the conference room on the 36th floor not long ago, the director of Ruiheng Jewelry Design Department, whose surname was Rong Mingchuan!Immediately, like a small animal caught in a bear trap, it froze from the hair to the tips of the toes.

It was too late to complain about the dim light in the garage, or reflect on his carelessness. He panicked, his brain was like a scrambled egg, and his sharp teeth had long since broken.

If the other party questions his name next, he will definitely run away on his toes.

Ke Rongchuan didn't say anything, and after looking at him peacefully for two seconds, the corners of his pointed mouth slanted upwards, and he showed an elegant smile like a business card again, like a kind hunter who planned to release him.

Xie Zhengyan didn't have time to avoid his bright eyes, his mind was dazzled by the black crystal-like glow, and the soles of his feet, which were ready to launch at any time, seemed to have taken root in the ground, unable to be pulled out and moved.

This reaction not only surprised him, but also confused the people in the car. Two seconds later, Rong Chuan flashed the turning signal on the right, and Xie Zhengyan realized that he was blocking his way, and the edge of embarrassment cut off immediately. With the roots that bound his legs, he jumped backwards like a conditioned frog, and then was dragged by the tilted center of gravity to stagger back a few steps, at least he didn't fall all over the place.

Before he could stand still, the Lexus had passed by lightly, and the window of the driver's cab was raised leisurely. Xie Zhengyan couldn't see Rong Chuan's expression when he left, but Rong Chuan could clearly examine him through the rearview mirror.Thinking that he left a wretched and funny impression in the eyes of the other party, he might sue his boss for a black case afterwards. The egg paste in his mind suddenly steamed into egg custard, and he just waited for bad luck to add some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar When I came to dinner, I couldn't help stamping my feet on the spot, frowning and beating my forehead sadly, and couldn't help but start drafting the next job resume.

Affected by this experience, his mood fell to the bottom, he lost his appetite at lunch, and his stomach was growling in the afternoon, and because of Wang Dafao's stubbornness, he did not dare to go out for food or order takeaway. My stomach, which has been harassed by superficial gastritis for many years, also feels faint pain.

But after regaining his freedom, he still didn't plan to eat nearby. Today is Friday, the day he goes home once a week to visit relatives.

Four generations of Xie Zhengyan's ancestral home was in Shanghai, and he was a member of the gang with pure blood. In the eyes of residents in remote and backward areas, Shanghai is synonymous with fashion.But in fact, people are divided into grades. There are modern rich people and humble poor ghosts. Just as there are fairy caves in the mountains, there are huts and shacks. Under the shadow of row upon row of skyscrapers in Shanghai, there are also some ancient shantytowns. Xie Zhengyan's home is located in an old street in Hongkou District, which is known for its dilapidation.

This was originally a gathering place for immigrants from Jiangsu at the beginning of the last century. After a long period of time, a huge and messy urban village has been built up. Most of the houses are simple and cramped brick and wood illegal buildings, and the per capita living area is usually less than 10 square meters.There are tens of thousands of people living in a small area with a radius of less than 0.5 square kilometers. Most of them are urban dilapidated households, migrant workers, or elderly people who depend on left-behind children. The narrow streets and dark alleys constitute a panorama of the low-level life in urban society.

Xie Zhengyan was born here 21 years ago, but the memory of this old street began when he was 6 years old. In the previous [-] years, he was sent by his parents to distant relatives in the countryside of Jiaxing. After his adoptive parents divorced, he was returned intact.He still remembers the first time he stepped into this street and saw many police cars lined up along the street with bright red police lights like small flashing lanterns. He huddled on the back rack of his bicycle and listened to the adults in a daze Discussions, saying that the police are "sweeping, prostitution, and illegal."It took many years for him to know that the street he was on was once one of several famous "illegal sex and trading hubs" in Shanghai.

The evening sun does not shine into the back alley where Xie's house is located, and the long-term lack of maintenance of the cement road is covered with cracks, walking on it seems to be stepping on a long and narrow spider web.There are crooked two-story buildings on both sides, and the oily green creepers swaggered along the wall. I haven't seen them for a week. Their appetite has improved, and they almost swallowed the entire wall, but they are very picky and leave glass windows. The windows of different sizes and turbidity are like eyes hanging in the air. They used to be the ghosts of Xie Zhengyan's childhood, which inspired countless terrifying fantasies in him.

It's seven o'clock, and the air is mixed with dampness, musty smell, sour sauce pot smell, rotten gutter, the smell of food from various houses, and the spicy and pungent smell of blooming oleander. The little boy jumped out of the courtyard like a whirlwind, and the first one almost hit him in the arms.They screamed, shouted happily in a foreign accent that Xie Zhengyan couldn't understand, and ran away, spitting bagasse along the road as if making a mark.

Xie Zhengyan arrived home after passing through the courtyard where the urchins came and went.This old "ancestral house" seems more desolate and dilapidated than it was a week ago. There are a few new cracks in the walls covered with cement patches, and the sliding windows on the first floor can no longer be closed, like a dumb idiot. It is embarrassing to face outsiders in a daze.On the drying rack on the second floor, bright red and purple underwear are swaying in the wind, and the rusty air-conditioning case is dripping, it seems that the parents have not yet called for repairs.

The door of the house is open, and beside the door is an old bamboo chair that has been wiped out by dust and stains. On it is curled up an old lady of Longzhong who is as skinny and yellow as a bamboo, holding something in both hands and eating on her bare gums. They rubbed back and forth between them, making a rattling, sticky sound.Xie Zhengyan walked up to her, looked into her gray eyes and softly shouted: "Mmm, I'm back."

The old lady's eyes were glazed over, and the clicks in her mouth continued. Her Alzheimer's disease was quite severe, and her intelligence had degenerated to the level of an infant, and she had forgotten everything including herself.Xie Zhengyan witnessed her step by step from being an overlord with a poisonous tongue to such a miserable situation, and her mood became more and more complicated as her condition worsened.

In my memory, grandma has never had anything to do with kindness. She was fierce and violent, pecking at everything like a fighting cock all day long, and didn't want to see anyone in the family. What she hated the most was his little grandson who "went and returned".Before Xie Zhengyan was in junior high school, she would beat her every morning for all kinds of reasons, such as holding the chopsticks upside down, not wiping off the gums from the eyes, and not turning the collar properly would cause canes and slaps.Every time he hears grandma winking and yelling at him that he "has no tutor", he feels aggrieved, thinking that grandma's requirements are too strict, and rich people don't pay so much attention, not to mention that he is obviously the most polite person in the family.

For this reason, he has always hated grandma with resentment, and often secretly scolded her for being old and immortal, and even at the beginning of her illness, some enemies were happy to be avenged, but after seeing her condition getting worse day by day, he gradually felt compassion. Especially when she was beaten, scolded and abused by her mother who turned her back and made decisions, she was driven by irresistible compassion to defend her and beg for forgiveness. Their family has always respected the law of survival of the weak and the strong, which is the root of his pain in life.

There is a black gap 1.5 meters wide and 5 meters long between the left side of his house and the neighbors, which was built as a kitchen.At this time, the pots and pans in the kitchen were singing, Xie Zhengyan walked over, and politely called "Sister Gui" to the short and neat figure who was busy under the dim light.

Aunt Gui responded and turned her head back, and responded with a rough laugh: "Xiao Yan is back, have you eaten yet?"

She speaks a stiff Yangzhou accent, which is rustic, but it makes this cold and lonely room look a little angry.When Xie Zhengyan first met her seven years ago, he still disliked her countryman's roughness, but now he thinks that she is the one among his acquaintances who can teach him to relax.Aunt Gui was not Xie's nanny, but Xie Zhengyan's father, Xie Tianyou, recruited a laborer for his restaurant. Because his grandmother was seriously ill, she was temporarily assigned to help with housework.

Xie's family has been poor for three generations since his great-grandfather. Xie Tianyou didn't realize the truth of hard work until he was in his 40s. He pooled money to build a shop on the top of Zhabei, and started selling crayfish. It was also a turn of events, and the business was booming. Soon, they basically reached the well-off level of having enough food and clothing.Originally, they had the ability to improve the living conditions of the family, but the couple were born poor, stingy and short-sighted, and they could only get money in but not out.

Xie Zhengyan made many suggestions, but they were all scolded in vain. When he heard bad words such as "I don't work hard, I only know how to plot against my parents all day long. If I have the ability, I can earn money to buy a big house by myself!" .

But if you want a home with a bathroom and your own independent space, you can generously invite your classmates and friends to play and be a guest. Is this wish really too much for teenage children?

At the beginning, he also tried to understand that it was not easy for his parents to make money, and he was unwilling to buy property rashly. But when his elder brother Xie Zhengxing graduated from university five years ago, and Xie Tianyou paid 80 yuan for him as a down payment, he realized that his parents were not ungenerous. It's not that he doesn't love his children, it's just that he himself doesn't have this blessing.

Now that housing prices in Shanghai are skyrocketing, Xie's family really can't afford a new house, and this century-old slum is still standing still, like a stubborn nail stuck in the heart of Shanghai.But Xie Zhengyan didn't care anymore, he didn't have any friends to take home, and he didn't want to go back. To him, home was also a cold nail, stuck in his heart, hard to pull out.

After a while, Mrs. Gui had prepared the soup and soup, and Xie Zhengyan set the table and chopsticks. When she was on the table, he asked her, "Dad, mom, are you back?"

Mrs. Gui said: "Nong's father is looking at the store, and Nong's mother is going to see Nong's brother. There is no need to wait for them."

Xie Zhengyan looked at the old bamboo chair outside the door, and asked again: "Well, do you want to eat milk?"

Aunt Gui said, "Don't worry about it, I'll cook rice soup for Yi in a while."

Xie Zhengyan was relieved now, just took a mouthful of rice, before he had time to chew it, the half-closed door slammed open, and his mother Liao Shuying rushed in, fanning the handkerchief vigorously while shouting angrily: "I'm so angry, I'm so pissed off."

Xie Zhengyan hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks and got up to greet him.

"Mommy..."

Liao Shuying ignored him at all, her face was flushed, and there were many soybean-sized beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, which kept rolling down her slack cheeks, and her shriveled body hidden in the old-fashioned floral dress was shaking slightly with anger. broken.

"I'm so pissed off!"

After venting her anger again, she sat slumped at the dining table, clutching her forehead and sighing. Xie Zhengyan called her carefully again, but still didn't get the slightest response.Aunt Gui woke up and brought a cup of cool white water, and Liao Shuying drank it all down, then gritted her teeth and complained to her.

It turned out that she had been looked down upon by her daughter-in-law at the eldest son's house, and she returned the same way with a ramming chasing order before her ass touched his sofa.Xie Zhengxing is the favored son of the Xie family. He is a talented person with top-notch studies. He went all the way from a key middle school to a key university graduate. Quick son-in-law.

For this eldest son who is favored by the god of luck, Liao Shuying can be said to have devoted three lifetimes of maternal love. She is usually very stingy, but she can't wait to pile up money to build a nest for Xie Zhengxing and let bloodletting pave the way for Xie Zhengxing. He tried his best to please this daughter-in-law.It's a pity that the official's family has a high level of vision, thinking that the aunt's family is of low status, and refuses to let Aji and Agou follow him to rise to the top. Even the wedding was held back to his hometown in Hangzhou, and Xie's family was not notified at all, and his in-laws were not invited to attend.

After hearing the news, Liao Shuying fainted several times, crying and fussing, and nearly hanged herself.Only her husband and youngest son are the only ones who can suffer. When the eldest son comes home, she is immediately happy like a normal person. She also shows an unprejudiced and kind attitude towards the eldest daughter-in-law who never comes to the door. Whenever she is free, she will cover her face He eagerly ran to stick his cold ass.

Xie Zhengyan could only silently give up on her almost self-abuse humiliating behavior after several times of persuasion to no avail. He understood that his mother had too much affection for his eldest brother, as if only his eldest brother was the flesh and blood of her ten months of pregnancy. And he is just a tumor born from an accidental infection on the bed of desire, burdened with a lot of unhappiness, and landed in this world with a shameless face.

"That woman is really hateful. I am Grandma Yi, but Yi doesn't even think about me at all, and I don't even think about where Yi can find such a good husband without me!"

"Yeah, Yi too doesn't know what's good or bad, how can a daughter-in-law treat an elder like this."

"I'm really in trouble too. I met a friend like Ga Eun, what can I do!"

"Don't be angry, call Xiaoxing after a while and ask Xiaoxing to scold her."

"Well, let's forget about it, Xiaoxing's life is not easy, I think of Yi being angry at the two sides in the middle, and I always feel bad about it."

........................

Liao Shuying burst out a few big pots of complaints under Gui's wife's reassurance, and finally found out that her youngest son, who had been regarded as empty by her, threw out a greeting question with lingering anger.

"Non is back."

Xie Zhengyan replied dully: "En", and suddenly saw his mother pull away the environmental bag she brought back from the outside, took out a plastic lunch box, opened it and threw it in front of him.

"Here, take this and eat it."

She seemed to be throwing bones at the puppy in a casual and generous gesture. Xie Zhengyan took a closer look and found that the lunch box contained really bright red sweet and sour pork ribs.

Could it be that his mother would bring food back for him specially?This is really the sun coming out from the west.

However, Mrs. Gui quickly dispelled his illusion. She asked Liao Shuying in amazement: "Didn't Nong make this specially for Xiaoxing in the afternoon? How could you take it back intact?"

Liao Shuying got up again and shouted: "That woman won't even let me in the house, so what can I do if I don't take it back?"

Sister Gui could only sigh, and said to Xie Zhengyan with a smile: "Xiao Yan, Elder Brother Nong has no good food. You can eat good ribs and bones. I went to the morning market to buy them this morning."

Xie Zhengyan felt chilly in his heart, unwilling to accept this humiliating favor, forced himself to smile and said: "I have indigestion today, so I'll leave it to my brother to eat."

Liao Shuying immediately raised her eyebrows and reprimanded: "It's so hot, it's ruined after eating."

"Put it in the refrigerator and wait for my brother to come back tomorrow to eat."

"It's fresh when it's frozen in the refrigerator. Brother Nong doesn't eat old vegetables, you know that, and he's doing tricks to tell you to eat delicious ones. You know what's good and bad, eat quickly!"

"...Well, I will eat..."

Xie Zhengyan slowly picked up a piece of pork ribs, took a small bite, tears of humiliation and bitterness welled up in his eyes, no blade in the world could sharpen his relatives' tongues, and in this indifferent home, he was also a skinny rib that was slaughtered and cooked by others .

Only Mrs. Gui noticed the embarrassment, and when Liao Shuying went upstairs, she patted Xie Zhengyan's shoulder lightly, and accidentally shook the tears hanging from his eyelashes.Aunt Gui pretended not to see, and went to the kitchen to make rice soup for grandma.

Xie Zhengyan hurriedly wiped his eyes vigorously, fearing that his mother would scold him again if he saw him, "cry while eating, and live a life of anger!" At this moment, the phone rang from above the floor, and Liao Shuying yelled happily after answering the phone: "Brother Ah! It’s Mommy, have you eaten your meal?”

Xie Zhengyan knew that the caller was the eldest brother, and then he heard his mother's joyful "enen ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'Not long after the rain, Liao Shuying stepped on the creaking narrow stairs and rushed to the dining table at the speed of participating in a big sale. Regardless of Xie Zhengyan just stretching out his chopsticks, she grabbed the box of sweet and sour pork ribs and closed the box. Cover is re-tucked into the reusable bag.

"Brother Nong told me to go out, let Yi eat this rib first, and I will make it for Nong next time I come back."

Watching the back of his mother going away in a hurry, Xie Zhengyan dully forgot to take back the chopsticks hanging in the air, the nail buried deep in his heart twitched, and the pain was so painful that he hated it.

"Is she out again?"

Aunt Gui murmured back, seeing the disharmonious empty space between the dishes, she said in shock, "Hey! What's wrong with sweet and sour pork ribs?"

Xie Zhengyan smiled wryly: "Bring it to my brother."

Not wanting to show the humble face of the poor guy, he continued to eat as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Gui shook her head helplessly and said, "Wait, I'll fry two preserved eggs for you."

The simple and considerate woman was going to comfort his wounded heart by adding vegetables, but Xie Zhengyan's stomach pouch had been completely filled with resentment and could no longer hold anything.
