the other side of the fireworks

When I woke up, I didn't know where I was.There are many strangers around, suddenly someone pushes away from the crowd and comes forward, the face is familiar, who is it?Qin Youtao?

Qin Youtao asked: "Who answered the phone for her?"

A ten-year-old girl said timidly, "It's me."

Qin Youtao took out a few hundred dollars and stuffed them with the girl, and then helped Xia Fengshu into his car.

While the onlookers were still discussing, the Rolls-Royce had disappeared into the traffic.

Back at Xia Fengshu's familiar healing apartment, Xia Fengshu curled up on the sofa, facing the sofa.

Qin Youtao covered her with a blanket, and then sat down at the workbench. He still had a lot of work to do.If the woman wants to cry, let her cry.

The three women are all so difficult, and Zhou Yanran is ruthless enough. With such a ruthless hand, is she protecting love?It is clearly a deterrent!What is her marriage with Tong Zhan?What did Tong Zhan say wrongly that made her so furious, and made Tong Zhan automatically grounded with guilt?Obviously, that was a secret, and it was this secret that made the relationship between Zhou Yanran and Tong Zhan both close and distant.Aunt Lin probably didn't know what this secret was, she didn't even feel the existence of this secret.From her point of view, this is a well-matched marriage.And this Xia Fengshu knew even less, she didn't even know why she lost her job, and she could only blame Tong Zhan.What do I have to do, crack that secret, to open this knot?No, I can't go after that secret, because I can't get involved in this emotional entanglement.There are things I can only do if I stay out of it.

The assistant delivered the lunch along with a few documents that must be signed. Qin Youtao has a secretary and three assistants. He is a very strict person with his own way of doing things, and his contacts in the business field are also extremely low-key.

After the assistant left, Xia Fengshu raised his face from the sofa and went straight to the bathroom.He heard footsteps approaching and walking away.Then she found a brand new silk pajamas at the door. She wore them as soft as nothing, but she still felt that her body weighed a thousand pounds.

Xia Fengshu's eyes were slightly swollen and her nasal voice was heavy. Obviously, she had a cold.

"Eat." Qin Youtao raised his jaw towards the food on the table.

Xia Fengshu ignored the food, she still couldn't feel hungry.Suddenly being deprived of her job is no different from killing her.Pushing away Qin Youtao's documents, she sat on the workbench, her actions were extremely presumptuous, "Tell me, why is Tong Zhan treating me like this? Where is he?"

Qin Youtao slid the seat back. He wanted to stand up and leave the room to talk, but Xia Fengshu's long legs rested on the armrest of the chair, so he had no choice but to sit where he was and said, "This was not his intention."

"Whose mean?"

"No comment." Qin Youtao carefully pushed Xia Fengshu's legs away with his index finger, walked around the workbench and sat on the sofa in the living room, "I brought you here just to let you understand that there will be work."

Xia Fengshu snorted coldly, grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at Qin Youtao, "Of course there will be, for a person like you, just writing on a piece of paper is enough for me to live forever!"

The documents fell to the ground one after another, scattered innocently.

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she has a shrew side." Qin Youtao walked to the bar and poured a glass of water to drink.

Xia Fengshu walked towards him with bare feet, and walked very close, so close that only the bar was across. She also leaned forward, almost touching Qin Youtao's face, "Look clearly, how I became a shrew."

"How?" The thorn in Qin Youtao's eyes was still there, but it couldn't pierce Xia Fengshu's self-confidence.Because her mental state fell outside logic. "Why do you do this to me? Do you want me to be a shrew to be satisfied? I paid a heavy price for what I got from people like you. I didn't get something for nothing. Even if I don't deserve respect, should I be deceived? "

Qin Youtao retreated, he had to keep a safe distance from her, a distance that would not cause accidents. "The world is complicated, you and someone's agreement, mixed with other people's interests. Deception exists at some level, but not fundamentally, you should believe in something that has existed, and understand that what you want , there will be more in the future.”

"Don't say such self-righteous things to me, only rich people like you would say it, it doesn't matter if you don't get it this time. I can't afford to lose, do you understand, I can't afford to lose, tell me where is Tong Zhan? "

"Is the best job in a bank? If you don't have it, you'll be gone. It's a blessing in disguise." Qin Youtao deliberately made a relaxed expression, but in fact, the woman in front of him made him very uncomfortable.

"That's what I want at all costs. Why do you want me to lose it? What exactly does Tong Zhan want to do?"

"Do you love Tong Zhan?" Qin Youtao's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely solemn.

Xia Fengshu sneered, "I didn't change this job at the price of loving him."

"You should know he's not bad."

"Really? Haven't I learned enough?" Xia Fengshu turned his back to Qin Youtao, and because of this, Qin Youtao looked at her squarely with pity.Yes, this girl has suffered more than she has gained.So what, who made her offend a woman like Zhou Yanran.It is impossible for me to intervene to help her confront Zhou Yanran, so I can only minimize the damage she suffers, and at least give her a way to survive.Anyway, Zhou Yanran will take Tong Zhan away soon, and then all this will come to an end.

"For you, isn't finding a job with a high salary the most important thing?" Qin Youtao slowly picked up the documents on the ground.

"I just want to ask you, where is Tong Zhan?"

Qin Youtao took out a document and put it on the coffee table and said: "Your work contract, the manager of Yunshang Seafood Lobby. The monthly salary is about [-], plus bonuses. The salary will be calculated from the date of signing the contract."

Xia Fengshu picked up the contract and tore it up, "Where is Tong Zhan?"

Qin Youtao took out another contract, "Deputy Manager of Department Store Department of Hehe Supermarket, monthly salary starting from [-]..."

Xia Fengshu tore it up again, and asked the same question, where is Tong Zhan?

Qin Youtao seemed to be impatient, and said flatly: "Opportunities will not be given unlimitedly, the door is there, please go."

Xia Fengshu left without looking back.

"What about this woman..." Qin Youtao stared at the door and said to himself, he was not worried about what would happen to Tong Zhan, but what would happen to Xia Fengshu who had fallen into a semi-crazy state.

Xia Fengshu is crazy, she will find out if she dies.

But she couldn't find Tong Zhan.

The money in her hand is even a problem for food, and there is a father in the distance who spends money in the hospital every day. When she calms down, she is full of worries about the future.You shouldn't reject Qin Youtao's contract, at least you should live on first, but if I accept it, I won't be able to track down Tong Zhan's whereabouts anymore, I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled.

If life wants to continue, then look for a job, but, but the one in my stomach...

The 'trouble! '

After Xia Fengshu made this comment, she was so cruel that she used this word.

Another desperate situation.

Gotta live!

I have to stand up, I have to fight back!

Xia Fengshu clung to this idea, and decided to raise his head and go back and forth to the unit to pack up and get out.I will be ridiculed, but if I can't face the ridicule, I will never have a chance to fight back against them in my life.

Early the next morning, Xia Fengshu returned to work, she did not pretend to be tough, nor did she pretend to be indifferent, her appearance was no different from normal work.The reasons for being dismissed are not glamorous, and things are packed without a word, and no one comes forward to say anything.It feels similar to when I was talked about underpants when I was in college. At that time, I could use my poor backbone to resist the embarrassment. Now, I only have to be shameless.

Xia Fengshu showed a nonchalant expression, which was not prepared by her, but revealed unconsciously.

Sister He came over to talk, she was too pitiful, was she wronged or something.Xia Fengshu hugged his things and said lightly, "Mind your own business."

"Hey! Why don't you know what's good and what's wrong!"

"You know good and bad, so why bother to bore yourself." Xia Fengshu gave her a sideways look, and strode out.

"I don't know what's good and what's wrong, why don't I pay attention to a white-eyed wolf like you! If I'm fired, I'll turn my face and deny anyone."

"Yes, I was fired!" Xia Fengshu stopped at the door and turned around, "Why are you so angry?"

"I can't stand your face, you're arrogant just because you're pretty. When you end up like this, why don't you put on airs and show it to someone!"

"Show it to everyone, but you seem to be the only one to join in." Xia Fengshu smiled, "You are not too young, and you have never seen anyone unlucky! Why are you so close, you are not afraid of bad luck passing on to you. Let you work in this small firm until retirement?"

"You fart!"

"Don't rush to smell it, it's good to retire here."

Xia Fengshu pushed the door out, and Sister He chased after her and cursed. For some reason, the more she scolded, the happier Xia Fengshu was.Kind words of consolation are scary to her, she never knew how to deal with gentle consolation, she would only bear fierce blows.

Her mindset was changing, something she didn't realize.

To her surprise, she saw Qin Youtao's Hummer.

Standing far away.

The man in the car had no choice but to get out of the car and walk over, "This is yours."

A black leather document bag.

"what."

Qin Youtao handed the bag to her in silence.

Xia Fengshu opened it and saw that there were several bundles of hundred yuan cash inside.Qin Youtao said: "Ninety-five thousand, what Tong Zhan owes you, do what you have to do, and let you fend for yourself in the future." He walked to the car, Xia Fengshu said: "He still owes me a job .”

"It's been compensated, but you refuse."

"You didn't say it was given to me by Tong Zhan."

Qin Youtao stood still in front of the car door, thought for a while and said, "You still have one more chance."

Xia Fengshu, who had a cold, still didn't take cold medicine, coughed a few times, headache and fever were pediatrics for her, she lay tossed and turned on the small bed for a whole day, a sudden phone call disrupted the plan she had just started.

This call is from Zhou Yanran, asking for a meeting.

Xia Fengshu agreed. For her now, she was looking forward to this meeting very much, because she realized that everything that happened had a great relationship with this woman.

She didn't discuss it with Lan Weiqing.Don't let anyone interfere with my decision, even if I am wrong in the end and lose nothing, I can only blame myself.

The lights in the bar were dim, and they sat in a booth deep in the bar, facing each other.

Xia Fengshu is very thin and doesn't look like a pregnant woman.The cold caused her to cough from time to time, and her pale face flushed from coughing. There was a glass of water in front of her, and she picked it up and smelled it before taking a sip.

"I remember the last time I came to this bar, it was with Xu An." Zhou Yanran said.

There was no more powerful opening statement than this, and Xia Fengshu lost his position in an instant.

Zhou Yanran shook her head and smiled, she was a little disappointed that she gained the upper hand so easily. "Looking at your expression, I can't go on."

"What do you want to say." Xia Fengshu's mind quickly flashed Zhou Yanran and her intersection with Xu An. How much did this woman know about that time in the supermarket.

"I wanted to spend some time getting to know you as a woman, but later I felt that it was unnecessary. I don't like to be considerate of others, and I don't like to forgive anyone. I won't tell you why I hate you. All I do is to Let you understand that it is easy for me to destroy you."

Xia Fengshu drew several question marks in his heart and returned to silence.

"You followed Tong Zhan for money and work, right?"

This is a question that must be answered. After saying this, Zhou Yanran stared at Xia Fengshu, waiting for the answer.

They looked at each other.

"Beautiful eyes." Zhou Yanran seemed to have forgotten her own question, "If there is no such thing as Tong Zhan, I will ask you to be my model. I like to draw beautiful and perfect things."

Xia Fengshu still didn't speak, she still couldn't figure out Zhou Yanran's purpose.

The wine came, two glasses of Scotch whiskey with ice, Zhou Yanran picked up one of them and said, "This wine is very strong, and the quality is not very good, but I don't know why, sitting in this kind of bar and drinking this inferior wine Very tasty."

"Strange, did you come to talk to me?" Xia Fengshu found an opportunity to speak.

"I can't bear to bully a pregnant woman." Zhou Yanran changed the subject, and Xia Fengshu realized that she had acted too early and entered Zhou Yanran's encirclement.

"Drinking, pregnant woman?" Zhou Yanran's beautiful flower nails set off Zhou Yanran's spring-like small hands, pushing the cup of light yellow liquid ten centimeters closer to Xia Fengshu.

Xia Fengshu vaguely guessed that she came for 'trouble'.

"I do not drink."

"Did you never drink it, or did you stop drinking it because you were pregnant?" Zhou Yanran spoke in a slow manner, but she couldn't describe it lightly.

Xia Fengshu didn't speak again.

Zhou Yanran didn't press for questions, and drank slowly. The music of Linkin Park was playing in the bar, which seemed to suit Zhou Yanran's taste.Xia Fengshu was not in the mood to listen to the song, she was listing different possibilities one by one in her mind, as if drafting a contract template.

Zhou Yanran was trying to figure out when to say something like a Chinese medicine doctor checking Xia Fengshu's pulse.

"How is Xu An?"

Xia Fengshu was startled, "I don't know."

"You broke up?"

Xia Fengshu didn't answer.What does this woman mean by turning her words around?

"Are you going to have a baby in your tummy?"

Finally talking about the topic, Xia Fengshu gave her a cold look and decided to leave.The other party's purpose has been made clear, which is the trouble in her stomach.

Zhou Yanran moved quickly, stopped in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "I want to be born."

Xia Fengshu's eyes widened instantly. She didn't want to make herself look more beautiful, but she couldn't hide her surprise.

Tong shows how much money you have for abortion, and I will pay three times for you to give birth.

Xia Fengshu thought it was ridiculous, so she walked away.

Is that woman crazy?Or am I walking into an ethical tragedy?

I will not reduce myself to a production tool.

The next thing to do is to settle down, not to be able to survive in this city as a vagrant, not even for a day.

When Qin Youtao answered the phone, Xia Fengshu could hear that there were several people around him, and they were talking about professional topics that were difficult to understand for a while, as if the atmosphere was tense.There was nothing to be heard in Qin Youtao's voice, "Not in the morning, let's meet at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so let's see you now." Xia Fengshu vetoed his opinion very presumptuously.

The other party was not angry either, "Call me at the gate of the Shijun Building." After speaking, he hung up the line, completely in Qin Youtao's style.

Xia Fengshu didn't take it seriously, but it was a bit embarrassing for her where the Ten County Building was. She got into a taxi and reported the location. The car then drove into the main road and headed towards the city center. "There is often a traffic jam here. I will let you get off at the intersection in front. You can walk in and you will be there about 100 meters away. It is easy to find. The high-rise building was built the year before last. It is that one. There is a sign of Ten Counties on the top of the building."

Xia Fengshu looked in the direction the driver pointed, and sure enough, he saw Shijun in a building. The building was not the tallest, but the dark blue building was very eye-catching.

This kind of super building will have several entrances. Xia Fengshu randomly finds an entrance and stands still, then calls Qin Youtao, and Qin Youtao appears 5 minutes later.I didn't say which door it was at or how he found it.Xia Fengshu thought to himself, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he followed him.

Qin Youtao is not tall, only about [-] by visual estimation, but he walks very fast, so fast that Xia Fengshu always feels that he is going to get rid of him.

After getting on the elevator, Xia Fengshu realized that someone was greeting Qin Youtao, nodding and smiling, or paying attention.Qin Youtao showed no expression, as if he didn't care.What's even more exaggerated is that when they reached the seventh floor and above, the elevator stopped, and the people who wanted to get on the elevator after the door opened hurriedly exited when they saw Qin Youtao.

Going down the ladder on the 24th floor is still one in front and one behind.

A large secretary's desk is facing the elevator, and on the background wall is the eye-catching Shijun Industrial.

The two secretaries stood up and bowed to Qin Youtao at the same time. On the left side was an open space. Through the translucent glass wall, one could see four or five people working inside. It was impossible to see how much space extended behind.On the right is a curved corridor with no end in sight.Xia Fengshu couldn't understand the grade and price of the white marble floor. He only felt that the white stone surface was foggy under the well-lit window.The corridor is very long, with at least a 45-degree arc, with a grid railing on the left, a wall on the right, and a double wooden door at the end. Qin Youtao walked in front, and she followed behind.But he didn't open the double door, but walked into the room on the right, which was about fifty square meters, with a fan-shaped conference table and thirteen chairs arranged neatly, like a small conference room.He sat down and motioned for Xia Fengshu to sit opposite.

As soon as Xia Fengshu sat down, a secretary brought a cup of black tea.

"Speak." Qin Youtao was very formal.

"I want to... work." For some reason, Xia Fengshu struggled a little, and for some reason, he was clumsy about what he took for granted.

"I know this. I'm asking you, what kind of job do you want." Qin Youtao's eyes were pierced again, either contemptuous or mocking, or making Xia Fengshu uncomfortable.

She straightened her back instinctively, "What job do you give me?"

"What for what?" Qin Youtao raised his eyebrows slightly, which made his neat facial features a little uncoordinated.It's not ugly, but you can see this expression, and he doesn't use it often.

"Not necessarily, I also have the right to choose." Xia Fengshu felt that this could bring back some self-esteem. "

Qin Youtao was noncommittal, picked up the phone on the table and pressed a button, someone answered immediately, Qin Youtao said: "Bring the two contracts that were sent to my apartment last time."

The contract was in front of him, the content was exactly the same as last time, but Xia Fengshu hesitated.Before today, she didn't know that Qin Youtao was such a powerful person.At the same time, it was the first time for her to enter the power center of such a large organization. Qin Youtao's power and arrogance were taken for granted.It was different from all the places she worked in. With the elevators going up, not only people, but also Xia Fengshu's heart.I never thought about climbing up in my career, and I made a living in this city with the mentality of being a little rich, and every time I gave and gained, I was worried about gains and losses until I lost everything.Either Xia Fengshu hasn't analyzed the reason, or she has no foundation. The foundation for her to settle down is not her own ability, but a kind of attachment.

Facts have proved that no one can be relied on, only oneself.

What is a supermarket?What is the lobby manager?Only in the place closest to this man can it grow the fastest and strongest.Those who are not afraid of heights can climb the highest.

"Why can't I work in this building?" Xia Fengshu said.

Qin Youtao was a little surprised, but didn't show it, "Your professional qualifications are not enough."

"It's because I cheated and looked down on me."

"You are too hysterical to talk about conditions with your scars up." Xia Fengshu recalled that Xu An once said that she always used poverty as a weapon.

"Aren't undergraduates eligible to enter this building?"

"Your biggest obstacle is not academic qualifications, not cheating in exams, but your logic and views are too paranoid, if you are an artist, you can understand. I will not hire such a person as my employee. The bomb will go off anytime."

"Then what are Yunshang and the supermarket?"

"It's different from the ten counties. It doesn't matter how lively you are. I can clean it up, but the ten counties can't. The explosion here will shake up too much area."

The more he said that, the more Xia Fengshu felt that staying in this building was the right direction. "Why do you describe me as a dangerous person? I don't have a record of making trouble in the unit. Or do you want to use this to show that my quality is low?"

"I just need to express my attitude, and I don't need to explain more to you." Qin Youtao avoided the conversation lightly.

"Is the ten counties so great? Even if you are a small clerk here?"

"No." She refused too simply.

"Is my education not enough?"

"Your temper can't even do odd jobs in the office. It will affect the working atmosphere in the office."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't communicate and don't tolerate. In every department, your existence will affect the normal operation." Qin Youtao didn't just talk about it. After all, Xia Fengshu had worked in Hehe Supermarket for so long.

Xia Fengshu wanted to refute, but he kept his mouth shut because of his experience working in a supermarket.

Qin Youtao spread out a hand, signaling Xia Fengshu to choose one of the two contracts in front of him.

"I want to work here, any job is fine." Xia Fengshu was very sincere.

Qin Youtao looked at her with that piercing gaze again.

Xia Fengshu refused to give in. In front of this man, she was unconsciously presumptuous.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a middle-aged woman walked in. Qin Youtao seemed relieved, and before the woman could say anything, he asked her, "Li Si, do we have any vacancies now?"

The woman glanced at Xia Fengshu, and said knowingly: "There are two assistant positions that are being recruited, one is for the Legal Affairs Department, and the other is for the Marketing and Economics Department. But both require relevant licenses."

Xia Fengshu's heart sank, she failed the judicial examination.

Qin Youtao glanced at her again, and then took the document from Li Si's hand. Xia Fengshu couldn't understand what they were talking about, as if they didn't speak the language of the earth.

humble.

In just a few minutes, Xia Fengshu kept refreshing his understanding of himself.The man in front of me is strong not because of this luxurious office, but because of his IQ, experience, talent, and courage.What am I asking for blindly?What is the result of trying to take shortcuts?I complain about my parents and family, but if they didn't give me such a face, where would I be at this moment?Those who always think that they are very strong are actually very shallow. The real ability to survive is a lawyer's license, social practice, and being able to bend and stretch, and then they can hold their heads high in the face of opportunities, right?

"I want to work here, please give me a chance." Qin Youtao was taken aback by her humble tone.

Qin Youtao was about to speak, but Li Si said from the side: "The Cleaning Department just had a vacancy."

Xia Fengshu was startled, do you want me to be a cleaner?

Qin Youtao glanced at Li Si, this was definitely not his wish.

"If you want, you can go to work tomorrow." She said lightly, and took a quick look at Qin Youtao.

Obviously, this is to help Qin Youtao arrange Xia Fengshu to go outside the ten counties.

"Okay, I can start as a cleaner and learn how to get along with people and how to integrate into your group." Xia Fengshu said suddenly, "If I pass the judicial examination as soon as possible, will you arrange for me to interview for a job in the legal department?"

Qin Youtao nodded silently, he didn't want to see her in this building, it would affect his focus on work.But she is so stubborn, she seems to want to get rid of the image of trading her body for the future, or does she have other plans?The cleaner, an arrogant girl like her probably won't last for three days.Let her go, let her go, as long as she gets out of this office as soon as possible.Qin Youtao was a little upset.

Qin Youtao has only one exclusive secretary. Her name is Li Si. She is 39 years old. Li Si is a prime minister in ten counties and even Qin Youtao's career. She is good at laughing but not talkative. Dark gray suit.After Qin Youtao started his career, Zheng Linyi recommended Li Si to be his assistant.When Qin Youtao's career is booming, Li Si refuses all positions and only concentrates on being Qin Youtao's exclusive secretary, in fact, he is also in charge of all affairs, big and small.Qin Youtao is unmarried, and Li Si is like the woman who supports his career, from work to life, in every possible way.Qin Youtao handed Xia Fengshu into the hands of such a person. He told Li Si, "Look at her. If the interpersonal relationship improves, give her a chance to improve."

Li Si has been paying attention to Xia Fengshu for a long time. Ever since Qin Youtao selected her as the poster model of Hehe Supermarket, she has discovered Qin Youtao's attention to Xia Fengshu.She once thought that Qin Youtao had a special feeling for Xia Fengshu, otherwise she wouldn't have resisted all opinions and chose such an unkind person to appear on the supermarket poster board.Qin Youtao didn't explain, but when Tong Zhan showed up in Yunshang with Xia Fengshu, Li Si thought that Qin Youtao was jealous.During that whole day, I didn't hear Qin Youtao say anything, and when talking about work, I could keep my mouth shut, and I could keep it short, but Li Si asked him if he liked Xia Fengshu, but he got ahead of him.

Qin Youtao's response was a cigar and a smile.

Li Si understood that with Qin Youtao's personality, even if the relationship between Tong Zhan and Xia Fengshu lasted only three days, he would not have any development towards Xia Fengshu.

In Qin Youtao's heart, Tong Zhan is his younger brother.

In Li Si's heart, missing a man like Qin Youtao is because Xia Fengshu has no eyes, and a dude like Tong Zhan has nothing but a pretty face.Of course, a girl like Xia Fengshu who is following the young master for profit is not worthy of sympathy.Unfortunately, it deserves it, Qin Youtao's help to her is superfluous.Reborn?is it necessary?A girl of this quality has a bad temper besides her face. In the final analysis, she is all used to it by men.

When Xia Fengshu signed the work contract, she didn't know that she was under such a person.She happily walked out of Ten Counties with two training materials.Life suddenly has a goal, pass the judicial examination!Just like rice can only be eaten after washing rice, Xia Fengshu once again found a starting point for survival under this semi-mandatory guidance.

I'm going to work here and be the person behind that glass wall.

The author has something to say:

I don't know why I tore Xia Fengshu like this, maybe it was because my life was more helpless during that time.

Love will be overwhelmed by the sand and dust of the world, and when she reappears, it will be more dazzling.
