the other side of the fireworks

"Trouble" grew bigger and bigger. Apart from causing physical discomfort and occasionally stroking his lower abdomen, Xia Fengshu could no longer ignore his existence.After returning the money in hand to Lan Weiqing, she remitted another 5000 yuan to her mother.Then there's this "trouble."

Mom's voice on the phone didn't seem so tired. She first told Xia Fengshu that the man surnamed Zhao took good care of them, and even if he didn't come, he would send someone else. Dad stopped making so much trouble.When mentioning father, mother was a little hesitant to speak, but Xia Fengshu heard it, but didn't ask further. In her opinion, what mother wanted to hide was only that person's evil deeds!Mom said that in another week, if there were no accidents, she would take Dad back to her hometown to raise her. She couldn't let go of Xia Fengshu in her heart. The one surnamed Zhao cast a shadow in her mother's heart. She said worriedly: "Fengshu, Mom knows that the family has dragged you down, but Mom's greatest hope is that you can live a peaceful life and find a good guy to marry. Don't try to find someone who is too rich, and don't look for someone who is too poor. Find someone who has a stable job and a house to settle down in. That's fine. Don't try to spend time and drink outside!"

These earnest words can be said to be said by the mother out of her heart, as if she had nothing to give her daughter.Xia Fengshu felt very uncomfortable hearing that. If it was in the past, she would definitely follow the direction her mother pointed out. In fact, her previous efforts were just to realize the life that her mother said now, but now, her thinking has changed. This society, the people in this society, and the opportunities this society gave her are all changing her mind.Indeed, there are many girls who can live such a quiet and prosperous life, but fate refuses to give me this opportunity.

She went to the hospital again and made an appointment for an abortion four days later.The money in the account is her only anesthetic, she doesn't worry about pain, not at all.

I wanted to go to work after the operation, but on Monday I received a call from the secretary of Shijun Industry, asking why she didn't go to work on Monday.And solemnly inform her that she will be recorded as absent from work for one day.If she doesn't come tomorrow, she will be fired.All these terms are written in the work contract.

Xia Fengshu didn't expect it. She naively believed that after signing the contract, she decided on the working hours.Isn't that what Qin Youtao said?

The secretary's words gave her a strong sense of urgency, and she rushed to the Ten County Building that afternoon to report to the personnel department.

First, she got a floor plan of the ten-county building. Then, a woman in her 50s gave her a set of work clothes and took her to the tool room, which contained cleaning tools such as mop rags and buckets.Instruct her to be in charge of cleaning the East Hall of the Ten County Building today.

Do you really work as a cleaner?

Xia Fengshu put on loose overalls and came to the work site. The 50-year-old woman pushed her to another 30-year-old female cleaner named Wang Jia, and asked her to work with Wang Jia.

Wang Jia is a woman who is not pretty but likes to dress up. Her hair is coiled up, with curly bangs on her forehead, her eyebrows are tattooed, she wears pink lipstick, and her work clothes are also reformed, pulled tighter to show her waist shape.Xia Fengshu nodded to her, which was regarded as a greeting. Wang Jia instinctively reflected hostility towards Xia Fengshu, a naturally beautiful woman who couldn't give up on herself. In his eyes, he naturally didn't look good.

Xia Fengshu doesn't mind, there are many people who don't like me, it's really not bad for this one in front of me.

The east hall belongs to the side hall, but because it is close to the parking lot, there are not many people coming in and out. Xia Fengshu was arranged to clean the gate, and of course was explained how to do the cleaning work well.

The security guard was shocked by the sudden dispatch of such a cleaning lady. Xia Fengshu simply put on a mask to work. Cleaning is Xia Fengshu's strong point, even a hobby, but it feels a little awkward to treat it as a job. .But when she thought about the cruel words she said to Qin Youtao and the reasons behind it, she felt that this was a kind of training for herself.

First of all, she doesn't think it's a shame to be a cleaner, although what she wants is a decent job, to get into the heart of the building to do a job that creates huge economic value, and sit at a desk to be a role that no one can ignore. However, she also knows that she has little talent and learning, and she can't bear the heavy responsibility. This is contrary to her goal of starting from scratch, and it can't make her feel at ease.

Being able to do an excellent job under the work system like every employee is her goal at this stage, and it is a way for her to regain her self-esteem.

She enjoys her current working status because of this.

Qin Youtao was going abroad on business, and Zhou Yanran came here to meet Qin Youtao half an hour before boarding the plane. It seemed that there was something very important.

In the coffee shop at the airport, two ordinary cups of coffee, two extraordinary people.

Zhou Yanran was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Are you still thinking about Tong Zhan's matter?"

Qin Youtao smiled as an answer.He is not a good-looking man, with regular features and small eyes.

"Will you place Xia Fengshu?"

Qin Youtao still smiled, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Yanran was not angry at all, "Don't worry about it, let me settle her down."

Qin Youtao tapped his index finger on the table, and said flatly, "I'm on Tong Zhan's side." One sentence showed his attitude, what Tong Zhan asked me to do, I had to do.

"Is that against me?"

"Not to mention." Qin Youtao lifted the weight lightly, and only a man like him could be so indifferent when facing Zhou Yanran.

"You want that woman to have a baby?"

"How do you say that?"

"I think that woman has ambitions. She wants to give birth to this child and restrain Tong Zhan." Zhou Yanran was sure.

"No, she's quite self-reliant. She doesn't depend on men for her living." Qin Youtao was also quite sure.

"Then why the delay in getting an abortion?"

"Something happened to her."

"You understand it very well!" Zhou Yanran sarcastically said.

Qin Youtao paused and said, "I don't understand, I just know."

"I sent the painting you told me about last time to your home. The day after tomorrow I will go to the United States with Tong Zhan. It will be a few months before we meet again. I hope you will do as I said, because once Xia After Fengshu gave birth to the child, I will also make her mine, and at that time, Xia Fengshu will bear what you can't help." When Zhou Yanran said this, his face did not change, but there was a gloomy look. "You are not Tong Zhan, don't do the same childish things as him, unless you also like that woman named Xia Fengshu, of course, if this is the case, I am not surprised. But the more this is the case, the more I want her to be with me disappeared from the world."

"I have received your threat, and it is time for me to board the plane." Qin Youtao gestured to say goodbye.

Zhou Yanran sneered, "Qin Youtao, the sky is about to change, so take care of yourself first."

She left with a straight posture, and her sassy and crisp footsteps made Qin Youtao uneasy.

On the way back to the villa, Zhou Yanran called Xia Fengshu again, "One price, 100 million, answer me before eight o'clock tomorrow night."

Xia Fengshu hung up the phone simply, the woman's voice made her chest tight.

Zhou Yanran laughed brightly when she heard the sound of hanging the thread, Xia Feng was too easy to deal with this woman.

Xia Fengshu would not understand that Zhou Yanran's desire for that child was simply a reaction. She wanted Xia Fengshu to take the fetus in her belly as an insult and firmly determined to kill the child.She was also worried that Qin Youtao's support would give Xia Fengshu the soil to survive, and she wanted to compete with her for Tong Zhan after she settled down.But she understands that Qin Youtao cannot be manipulated, and lures and threats are useless. Today's meeting between her and Qin Youtao is to convey a message to Qin Youtao that Xia Fengshu and Tong Zhan must draw a clear line.Qin Youtao is a sensible person, even if he will not obey Zhou Yanran's wishes, he will no longer act as a car between Tong Zhan and Xia Fengshu, a house to live in, or even money to fly away.

When Zhou Yanran returned to the villa, Tong Zhan was missing. Zhou Yanran was not a girlfriend who was calling and chasing people all over the world, so she knew where Tong Zhan was going.After changing her clothes, she drove to the city government compound.

Tong Zhan's house has four bedrooms and two halls. The old-style building has its profound style. This building is either rich or expensive, and most of Zhou Yanran knows it.The nanny saw that she opened the door immediately and took out the slippers respectfully.

Zhou Yanran changed her slippers and went straight to Tong Zhan's bedroom. Tong Zhan was sorting things, as if preparing for a long journey.However, they ignored Zhou Yanran's arrival.

Zhou Yanran sat on the reclining chair in front of the window as usual, and took out a book from the bookshelf to read.Tong Zhan doesn't come back to this room very often, he has several apartments outside, and there are always women who stay with him overnight in the apartment.This house was neglected by the owner after he graduated from university, and because of this, the room still maintains a bookish and boyish atmosphere.Before graduating from university, Tong Zhan was a slightly shy big boy who liked music. His change came after his mother stepped up and promoted him. She frequently took him to various occasions and made friends with the so-called high society. Luxury and women quickly occupied him. Life.The so-called girlfriend in college was quickly overwhelmed by hot and fashionable women. His mother gave him strong financial support, enabling him to compare with wealthy young men. Then he met Zhou Yanran, a woman he thought was both beautiful and tasteful.Before that happened, he didn't see her as a life partner.However, the mother was overjoyed by Zhou Yanran's appearance, and it seemed that the previous investment had paid off.

Zhou Yanran was not a woman with bound feet. He was moved by the freedom she gave Tong Zhan. It was only after Xia Fengshu appeared that Tong Zhan felt the invisible restraint that made him breathless.

"I kept my promise to you, why didn't you let me keep my promise to Xia Fengshu?" Tong Zhan's tone was a bit sad, he just learned that he was suspended and Xia Fengshu was fired.

Tong Zhan knew that this matter would happen sooner or later, but Zhou Yanran did not expect him to be so sad.He should be angry, growl, yell, what is this sadness?

Tong Zhan put the clothes and documents that he was going to take away neatly in a trolley case, and slowly placed them at the door, "As a man, I can't even do this for Xia Fengshu. You really want me Becoming your carry-on luggage, leaving me without soul and dignity!"

"You've never blamed me like this." Zhou Yanran's voice was weak.

"I promised you that I would never mention that matter again, even with you. I slipped my tongue that time, and I felt sorry, so I willingly accepted your punishment. But I don't know, in this punishment Including Xia Fengshu's work, you know, that is my promise to her, which is as important as my promise to you."

Zhou Yanran remained silent.

"Two promises without contradictions." Tong Zhanwang looked at Zhou Yanran with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Yanran was slightly moved, maybe she had never felt Tong Zhan's deep feelings, would this man love a woman like this?She said she would make it up, that a good job was just a phone call away.But the premise is that he has nothing to do with Xia Fengshu.Tong Zhan just shook his head disheartened, as he said, there is no point in making amends.His emotions slowly faded while staring at Zhou Yanran, and then he sat listlessly in the living room. That night, he hardly said a word.Even at the dinner table after his mother came back, he didn't say a word.

Xia Fengshu has already settled down to live a life, go to work hard, and return to the judicial class. Because she has 8 yuan in savings, she thinks that the goal of taking the judicial exam again like a college entrance examination can be achieved.

I have to ask for three days off from work today, plus two days on weekends, as time to relieve "trouble".

It rained a little early in the morning, which caused problems for the cleaners.Wang Jia was very unhappy, and complained to Xia Fengshu while working. Generally speaking, he listened to a few words, responded casually, and the simplest exchange of words was over.It's a pity that the other party is Xia Fengshu. She doesn't think there is anything to complain about when it rains. Will the endless chatter leave no rain marks on the door or shoe prints on the ground?At this moment, Xia Fengshu is different from her working in the bank. Just like her at the beginning of college, she completely releases her nature. She thinks that the current working environment is different from that of the bank. .Just like not dealing with Xiao Guo and the others in the dormitory, Xia Feng sloth listened to her nagging, turned around and avoided the other side, and continued to work, but the atmosphere was not very good.

When spraying the disinfectant, Xia Fengshu was hesitant. She didn't know if it would have any side effects on the trouble in her stomach. "Why don't you do it?" Wang Jia asked.

"I……"

"Afraid of hurting your hands, then don't be a cleaner."

Xia Fengshu ignored it and took out the mask and put it on.

"It's so particular, it's like a biochemical weapon, it scares me to death." Wang Jia's imagination is quite rich, Xia Fengshu thinks it's funny, but it's a pity that the smile is hidden in the mask, Wang Jia can't see it.

As soon as the bottle of disinfectant solution was opened, Xia Fengshu felt something in her stomach rushing upwards, and the mask couldn't stop the smell. She rushed to the toilet and vomited for a while before calming down.Could it be that the "trouble" in the stomach doesn't like it?

"As for?" Wang Jia's big white eyes flew over, and Xia Fengshu flashed over.

After spraying the disinfectant water again and again, Wang Jia seemed to wash clothes with the disinfectant water for some reason. With this smell all over her body, Xia Fengshu vomited again and again, until her eyes turned black, Wang Jia still went Get close.

The manager of the cleaning department came and told Xia Fengshu that he would be on vacation for a month.

This news made Xia Fengshu more dizzy than vomiting. I wanted to ask for leave, but I haven't said anything yet. Besides, I took a month's leave all of a sudden.She asked why, and the manager said impatiently: "The order from the 24th floor didn't say why."

"Is my job suspended?"

The manager said: "Then you have to ask the personnel department, I have no news."

Xia Fengshu went to the personnel department to ask, but was pushed to the 24th floor. She had to chase to the 24th floor and waited for an hour before seeing Li Si. The reason was not mentioned. It’s not suspension or dismissal, you just need to come back to work a month later.”

"Can you contact Qin Youtao? I want to talk to him."

Li Si squinted at her, "What do you think of yourself?"

Xia Fengshu realized that it was inappropriate to speak in front of this person on such an occasion, "I'm sorry, but I really don't understand what such an arrangement means."

Li Si actually ignored her anymore, got up and went into the meeting room, the door slammed shut, Xia Fengshu came out from the 24th floor in disgrace, she called Qin Youtao, but it was still transferred to the voicemail.

Life is really like a guessing game.

Xia Fengshu, who had avoided the smell of disinfectant water, didn't thank Qin Youtao at all. This inexplicable month made Xia Fengshu feel like falling into the clouds, and he always felt that he was being manipulated by someone in his confusion.

Thinking of the powerful people I met, I couldn't help but think of Zhou Yanran, the humiliation given to me by the woman who wanted to buy "trouble" has not subsided, on the contrary, I feel even more annoyed today when I have to get rid of "trouble" tomorrow.

Suddenly, Xia Fengshu figured it out, this sudden month-long vacation was not for anything else, but also for "trouble".Qin Youtao thought that a woman needs a month's rest to recuperate after having a miscarriage, so she forcibly issued this order after learning that she was going to work.He and Zhou Yanran had the opposite idea.He kindly arranged for me to get out of trouble.

For some reason, Xia Fengshu was extremely disgusted by Qin Youtao's kindness.

Lan Weiqing came back suddenly, she had to see Xia Fengshu, so she came to Xia Fengshu's rented house.

"Your complexion is too ugly. You donated blood? You're so pale." Lan Weiqing's tone was not pretentious, and he expressed his feelings directly. Xia Fengshu liked it.Talking about today's disinfectant nightmare, Lan Weiqing insulted Wang Jia a few words, and then asked, "Why did you sweep the floor?"

Xia Fengshu then talked about negotiating with Qin Youtao again. Lan Weiqing said: "Shijun Industrial is very powerful. There are several large pharmaceutical factories and chain drugstores. It seems that they want to invest in steel. The stock price is not low! Qin Youtao Is it the boss there? I haven’t heard of it, he’s low-key enough.”

"You play stocks?"

Lan Weiqing smiled, sat down next to Xia Fengshu, put her arms around her shoulders and said, "Xia Fengshu, I am stronger than you, I am more daring than you, and I am smarter than you. Do you know why?"

Xia Fengshu let her hug her, looked at her sideways and said, "You are pragmatic."

Lan Weiqing giggled, "You've made progress. I don't know how many things you have hidden in your stomach, so it's not easy to ask too many questions. Xia Fengshu, let's work together!"

"Partner?"

"Partner, there are not many people like us. It's not easy to meet like-minded people. To be honest, there are traps and opportunities when you are outside every day. Sometimes, a pair of eyes can't see clearly. Let's put our eyes together. Use it! There is a negotiation for everything."

"What stimulated you?"

"I have suffered a lot, and if I discuss with someone else, I will definitely not be able to suffer this loss."

Xia Fengshu didn't ask, Lan Weiqing should have found it hard to talk about this loss.It's like I can't tell the trouble in my stomach.

They had dinner together, and Lan Weiqing took out a cigarette, looked into Xia Fengshu's eyes and said, "You are the cleaner to show that surname Qin, don't you really want to sweep the floor?"

"I want to start from sweeping the floor until I have the strength..."

"No way! What are you doing? The surname Qin obviously loves you to the point of hair, and you still need to make such a big detour with him to sweep the floor?"

"What are you talking about, Qin Youtao is looking at Tong Zhan..."

"Come on, you, aren't you pretending to be innocent? Such a big boss is working as a babysitter for you in the apartment just to take care of your brother's woman? He just waved his hand and called two babysitters. He will pick you up in Beijing after I make a call. The head cabin transported you back, and even your crazy father found someone to take care of you. Xia Fengshu, doesn’t he have feelings for you, does he need to work so hard to go out in person?” Lan Weiqing licked his lips, smoking is easy Dry lips.

Xia Fengshu seemed to have been woken up, thinking more about Qin Youtao.If this is the case, I shouldn't have any entanglements with this man, and I should stay away from him.

Lan Weiqing said: "Taking advantage of his deep affection for you, get more benefits and find a root."

"Root?"

"Aren't you begging for nothing to find a job just to find your roots? It seems that Tong Zhan can't do it, and he can't be relied on. The surname Qin will do it!"

"Lan Weiqing, you are at most one year older than me! How come you speak like someone from another generation. Don't say that you have walked more bridges than I have walked."

Lan Weiqing took a puff of smoke, frowned and said, "Xia Fengshu, do you have it?"

One sentence made Xia Fengshu's smile disappear. She simply didn't know how Lan Weiqing found out.Touch your belly, is it so pregnant?The waistline is a little longer, but it's not so obvious that it can be seen at a glance.Does "Trouble" want the whole world to know his (her) existence?

Lan Weiqing got it right, and explained: "The waist is thick, and the proportions are wrong. The face is abnormally white, you ate all the lemon slices in the cup, and you spit it out like that in the unit. Those women didn't suspect you? "

"No, I didn't hear what they said."

Lan Weiqing extinguished the cigarette, "I'm sorry, I smoked on purpose to try you, but you didn't respond, so I asked directly."

Xia Fengshu was a little sad, his nose was sore, "It doesn't matter, it will be over tomorrow."

"Ready to do it? Whose? Why are you so careless? Do you know how much that kind of thing hurts your body?" Lan Weiqing was more angry than she was pregnant, and wanted to poke Xia Fengshu's forehead.

Xia Fengshu didn't say a word, and played with the cup.

"No wonder the money was paid back quickly. How much did he give?"

Xia Fengshu got up and left, out of the door, Lan Weiqing caught up with her, pulled her arm and said, "What kind of temper are you playing! Am I worried for you? Afraid you will suffer?"

Xia Fengshu waved his hands and said, "That's enough, don't laugh your front teeth off."

Lan Weiqing didn't bother anymore, "Xia Fengshu, go get rid of the sour smell on your body, and live realistically! Even people like Xu An can be driven away, you don't think the lone evil star will stop you. "

The words "Tiansha Lone Star" shocked Xia Fengshu. In fact, she was more afraid of loneliness than anyone else.

That night, she didn't sleep well, thinking about the operation tomorrow, how could she sleep well.

Touching "trouble", a strange warmth is conveyed from the palm of the hand to the heart.
