Chapter 132 Fashion(1/2)
The city is beautiful late at night, and the wind is still gentle, emitting thousands of rays of glowing suns. When the lights are on, the city is flashing psychedelic colors, as if it is to share warmth and hope fairly with the sunset.
However, fairness is also pressure. There are always people in this world who think they have received too little, and not everyone can receive the gifts of God. Many times, accepting fairness requires a normal mind, and eliminating gifts requires a mind. Both are very ordinary, but unfortunately, not many people have it. At least Li Xiang and Zhang Jianguang are not. Li Xiang lacks a normal mind, and Zhang Jianguang simply lacks the right mind.
Ideal Building was not originally called Ideal Building, but Ideal Group rented the highest 18 and 19 floors and paid a lot of money to the management to erect the huge sign of Ideal on the roof. People gradually forgot the real name of the building and only remembered the two words Ideal. Now, Li Xiang, Zhao Tonghai and Zhang Jianguang are in the chairman's office on the top floor.
Li Xiang sat upright in the luxurious and spacious office seat, staring at his wife's brother-in-law with a pale face; Zhang Jianguang lowered his ugly face, huddled in a corner of the sofa and did not dare to look up; Zhao Tonghai was very leisurely, holding a cigarette in his left hand and a goblet in his right hand, and was pecking at Li Xiang's expensive foreign wine. Compared to the charming scenery outside the window, the atmosphere in the house was obviously not harmonious enough.
"Sister, brother-in-law?" The atmosphere was too depressing, and Zhang Jianguang looked at Mr. Zhao and spoke weakly.
"Don't call me brother-in-law!" With a loud bang, the angry Li Xiang slapped the table, "I don't have the useless brother as you!"
Zhang Jianguang was startled and instinctively looked at Zhao Tonghai beside him. Zhao Tonghai seemed to have not seen it, but still squinted his eyes, smacked his lips soundly, intoxicated by the mellow smell of foreign wine.
"You are a fool who is not successful enough and has enough trouble. You won't be able to pick on trouble even if you cause trouble?" Li Xiang was angry that he did not argue and pointed at his nose and cursed, "You have offended the vice governor and the National Association. You are really capable, and you don't even look at the time? Now that the scoundrel is so big, what do you think you will do?"
Zhang Jianguang cried with a swollen and ugly face and said, "Brother-in-law, can't I blame me? I don't know..."
"Shut up!" Li Xiang was so angry that he shook his hands and said, "How many times have I told you that you are the general manager of the group. You must be clear about your identity. No one who has nothing to do with it, but what about you? It's okay to be jealous, but you even make a bitch to trap someone. What the hell do you know besides playing with women? Have you grown that head?"
Zhang Jianguang's eyes shone green, and his already distorted face became even more unbearable due to anger. Fortunately, he knew it was not the time of the attack, so he had to look at Zhao Tonghai for help for the third time.
Zhao Tonghai reluctantly put the wine glass aside, sat upright and said, "Old Wu, the matter has happened, you can also relieve the fire. If you don't know, it's understandable, Jianguang is understandable. Don't talk about him, I don't know that kid has so many backgrounds!"
"I don't know what's wrong?" Li Xiang was so angry that he continued to roar, "How many times have you been! He is the general manager of the group, what have he done to eat all day?"
Zhang Jianguang couldn't bear it anymore, and his breathing became rapid, his face was grim, and he stared at his brother-in-law jealously.
"Fifth Lao!" Zhao Tonghai shouted and patted Zhang Jianguang's shoulder to comfort him, "You can't say that. Jianguang is young and has little experience and will gradually grow up. Besides, you have said a lot, forget it, if you don't look at my face, you have to look at my brother and sister!"
Li Xiang didn't say anything anymore, sighed and sat down, grabbed a cigarette and lit it up again and again. Everyone has weaknesses. Li Xiang's biggest weakness is that he is afraid of his wife, otherwise how could he let Zhang Jianguang be the general manager and embarrass him again and again.
Seeing that Li Xiang didn't say anything, Zhao Tonghai said to Zhang Jianguang again: "Jianguang, don't think too much. Go back and have a good rest. Recover the injury first. Leave the others to me and your brother-in-law."
Zhang Jianguang looked at Mr. Zhao gratefully, and then looked at Li Xiang.
"Why are you looking at me?" Li Xiang was quite impatient and waved his hand angrily, "Get out of here quickly, don't let me see you again!"
Zhang Jianguang's face changed several times, and finally he didn't say anything, and walked out indignantly. Li Xiang stared at his back and said again: "Before I announced again, you are no longer the general manager, go back and reflect on me."
"You...hum!" Zhang Jianguang turned his head and threw the door hard.
Zhao Tonghai frowned slightly, as if he disagreed with Li Xiang's decision.
Zhang Jianguang left, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious, but it was still turbid.
Li Xiang turned his head out the window. The city's evening scene was charmingly swaying. He was so attached and confused. The city was very gorgeous, but behind the prosperity, no one knew what was hidden. He grew up here since childhood. Every street was very familiar, but now he was confused, feeling unreal and unrecognizable. The evening breeze, the sunset, and every flashing window became illusory.
Zhao Tonghai felt similar and different, but he remained calm. In his opinion, the lights were flashing not endless desires, but beautiful hopes in the deepest part of his heart. He also grew up in this city and was also familiar with those streets, but he always believed that these meridian-like streets reflect the unfair rules of the game in the city. This is the truth. The truth is this. Human values have always been chaotic, and beautiful things can only be stored in the depths of the heart. He was also confused because he was worried that beautiful things would sooner or later, and he didn't know where he would be.
Li Xiang sighed secretly and slowly turned around: "Second, what should I do now?"
"What should I do?" Zhao Tonghai also turned around and picked up the wine glass beside him again.
Li Xiang put his arms on the table and leaned forward and said, "The superiors have always been nervous about our fundraising. This year, they have been at the Party Congress. The city has talked to me several times and asked me to settle the fundraising as soon as possible. If that boy's report is really in the hands of Vice Governor Guo, I am worried that the superiors will take this opportunity to send a working group to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the group's financial situation."
"If he sends it, just send it. Our accounts are clear. What's the terrible thing?" Zhao Tonghai disagreed and disdained. He raised his neck and drank all the wine in his glass. "The conclusion is that we buy expensively, but so what? Ordinary people go to the market to buy vegetables, and what about international acquisitions?"
"Do you think we are insolvent?" Li Xiang asked worriedly.
"Of course not." Zhao Tonghai stood up and walked calmly. "Minerals are different from ordinary fixed products. Now resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the prospects for rare metal mines will only get better and better. No one can draw such a conclusion. Don't worry, you won't be wrong as I arrange it."
Li Xiang sighed and didn't say anything. The second and the fifth brother were the dormitory rankings of their college years. Since then, the second brother, the class monitor and student union president, has taken great care of him. He can survive the crisis several times and grow stronger step by step, thanks to Zhao Tonghai's advice and spare no effort to help and support him.
Zhao Tonghai glanced at it and said, "You have to let him be the general manager of Jianguang."
"Is he still allowed me to be?" Li Xiang frowned and Wuminghuo rushed up again.
Zhao Tonghai stopped in front of him and said calmly: "Being the general manager is the only one he relies on to be proud of. If you don't let him be, who knows what trouble he will make?"
"I'm just afraid that he will make trouble again, so I won't let him be." Li Xiang's face was sore and stood up from his desk in anger.
"Can it be bigger than this?" Zhao Tonghai frowned and replied with a calm face, "I will have someone to stand up sooner or later to make him feel the most comfortable."
Li Xiangxin was hung up, his eyes suddenly stern, and he looked at him in panic.
Zhao Tonghai walked to the window and said lightly to the city outside: "Don't think about it anymore, this is a disrespect. The matter started to break down on him, and now it's him again. If it weren't for him being greedy, would you have fallen to this point? It would be very cheap for him to take some responsibility."
Li Xiang sighed and stopped talking. He knew very well that Zhao Tonghai did this entirely to help him. If it weren't for his wife's brother-in-law and incompetent and greedy, this long-time classmate and brother would not have been involved at all.
As the sky became darker and the city became brighter, Zhao Tonghai changed into a cigarette and looked calmly at the prosperity outside the window.
Li Xiang walked up to him and stood together, asking weakly: "When Jianguang asked Lao Lu to call that boy, weren't you there? Why didn't you stop him?"
Zhao Tonghai was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "How could I know he was going to have a trap for someone?"
"Can there be any good things?" Li Xiang said complainingly.
Zhao Tonghai was upset and turned around and said, "If you are with him every day, I will have a meal. Do you have to watch him for you?"
"I'll just talk." Li Xiang didn't say anything else and changed his cigarette.
Zhao Tonghai looked at him and turned around, and the two faced the evening scene of the city together.
It was already dark, and the TV tower in the distance stood out in the sea of lights, and the rotating restaurant at the top exuded warm lights, slowly rotating above the city.
Compared with the south, the nightlife of northern cities is never rich, which is not only related to the climate and economic openness, but also a reflection of the cultural environment. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Chinese cultural center moved to Jiangnan, and various schools of thought sprouted mushrooms after the rain, and emerged one after another. Relatively speaking, northern culture has always maintained its independence in accordance with the rules.
As the old capital of the Qing Dynasty, S City was operated by Russia, Japan and Zhang for more than half a century. Its prosperity and scale are the highest in the north except Beijing, but it is still a city that lacks nightlife. People stubbornly maintain the habit of going home from get off work, eating, watching TV, and then going to bed and having sex. Fortunately, no nightlife does not mean unhappiness. S City's consumption and income ratio is the lowest among big cities, so every time you get off work, people will show their most innocent smiles on the streets.
In front of the guesthouse of the Public Security Bureau, Fang Xi no longer smiled, and the street lights reflected her reluctant and unwilling eyes. Yuxia had already agreed to stay at home to stay together in the evening. She also called Shen Meng, but the cute man refused.
Liu Jing comforted, "Fangxi, our mother just left today, and my elder sister wants to have a meal together. Don't let her be too lonely. It seems that as soon as my parents left, we neglected her."
Fang Xi glanced at Yuxia, pouted her lips, and nodded reluctantly. She didn't go back the first day, of course she knew it was inappropriate, but the three of them went back so many times, and she always felt lonely when she went back alone. In addition, Yuxia was real and fake, and became more and more presumptuous. Liu Jing held hands and even hugged her in front of her, and she was no longer at ease with the two of them to live together.
"Okay, you guys wait a moment, I'll go pick up the car." Liu Jing turned around and went.
Yuxia smiled and leaned forward, saying charmingly: "Sister, I helped your husband so much again today, why do you thank me?"
Why is it coming again? Fang Xi’s pretty face flushed and she flashed and said, “Sister Qin, you won’t...did you fall in love with my husband?”
"Guess?" Yuxia asked ambiguously.
The little tiger fooled her and said vigilantly: "Sister Qin, you, you really..."
"Haha, I'm joking with you!" Yuxia said carelessly. She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't tell on her face.
The little tiger looked suspicious and said disbelief: "Come on, right? I don't dare to believe you anymore!"
Yu Xia smiled beautifully, half true and half hypothetical: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, actually... I've already eaten it!"
"What did you say? You, you..." The little tiger was not sure whether it was true or false, and was embarrassed and anxious, and immediately became so angry that he itched to her.
Yuxia dodged and the little tiger pounced on it, but was hugged by Yuxia from behind.
"Sister Qin, what are you going to do?" Fang Xi asked with shame and embarrassment.
Liu Jing had already gotten into the car, Yuxia hugged her from behind and blew in her ear, saying, "Sister, I'm ugly before, if you don't lend me your husband, you have to lend me yourself!"
"What? Sister Qin, you are not gay, are you?" Fang Xi's pretty face was so sluggish that she was pounding, and she felt that everyone on the street was looking at her, and her eyes kept floating left and right. Don't you say joking? Why are you getting more and more serious? You have to follow me, God! Why is this happening?
"What homosexuality? Let's play with it!" Yuxia felt embarrassed and looked around subconsciously, "Hmph! You don't have to pretend to be pure. You know so much before you deflower. I don't believe you have never played with Liu Jing? That's different!"
This topic is too erotic and too lewd. The little tiger's neck shrank and stopped talking. Excitement and happiness collide in his heart.
Liu Jing started to reverse the car, and Yuxia said aggrievedly: "We will live together in the future. Then you will be kind to me all day long, and I am alone, how can you bear it?"
"Hehe!" Fangxi lowered his head and said in a narrow voice: "Don't you... have that fake one?"
"Hey..." Yu Xia's beautiful face was flushed and was about to say something, but Liu Jing drove over, so he had to hurriedly say, "Listen, either lend me your husband, or you accompany me, choose one, you can do whatever you want!" After saying that, he used both hands and mouth, popped her face, and pinched her chest.
"Sister Qin, you are so shameless!" Fang Xi was so embarrassed that he almost screamed, but his lover had no choice but to curse and finish the matter.
Yuxia's big radish's face was neither red nor white, and with a proud smile, she seemed to have taken a big advantage. She not only had a mother in the child, but also had a husband. Fang Xi was both embarrassed and annoyed and wronged, and was speechless. Her husband was about to be borrowed, not only was he not angry, but he seemed to be looking forward to it. How could this happen?
"What are you saying? Let's get in the car." Liu Jing opened the car door with a wicked smile. Seeing Yuxia holding the little tiger, he probably was saying something disgusting, so he deliberately slowed down because he liked how close the two women were.
Fang Xi's face was red and she glared at Yu Xia fiercely. Yu Xia disagreed and smiled and helped her to control the car door: "No, I'll take a taxi away, you can send Fang Xi."
"What are you doing with a taxi? Isn't it a while?" Liu Jing asked in surprise.
Yu Xia smiled charmingly and glanced at the little tiger and said, "Fang Xi has something to discuss with you, it's hard for me to talk to you in the car."
Liu Jing was stunned, immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the little tiger.
"She...she is talking nonsense! Who has anything to do? She won't sit down and pull it down!" Fang Xi was embarrassed, looked at his lover, pushed Yuxia away suddenly, and crawled in in a panic, and the sound of the car door falling to the ground.
"Then we're leaving." Liu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly and prepared to start the car.
"Let's go." Yuxia was very happy and smiled and angry at Xiao Laohu, "Come back early, I'll wait for you at home."
Yuxia was still behaved when she got the advantage. The little tiger was furious and immediately wanted to get out of the car to teach her a lesson. Liu Jing hurriedly drove away. The sunset was soft and the evening breeze blew gently. Yuxia stood by the roadside, covering her mouth, and waving her little hand happily.
Renault drove into the traffic, Fang Xi turned around and said with great grievance: "Husband, where are you looking? She is obviously snatching me now?"
"How can she be? She is just like that, joking with you!" Liu Jing glanced at him and tentatively said, "What did she say?"
The car window was open and the wind blew in. Fang Xi calmed down a lot and looked at him and asked, "What did she say to me? Don't you know? I don't believe she wouldn't tell you!"
Fang Xi never mentioned a word about the incident of borrowing husbands, but he absolutely believed that Yuxia must have shamelessly betrayed the promise, otherwise his lover would have the courage to hold hands and hug her in front of her?
Liu Jing quickly shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Don't come!" The little tiger was jealous and jealous, and grabbed his ear, "I hugged her in front of me on the day of my ride. How dare I say I don't know? Do you think I don't exist?"
To be continued...
