Bodyguard of the Goddess

Chapter 21: The humble sense of distance!

Views:

Tang Ming let Xiao Zheng go before leaving get off work because Boss Bai asked him to go to the gym for training. Xiao Zheng responded with a sneer: "Diaosi is doomed to die alone."

Tang Ming's shrewdness lies in his observation of words and emotions, his tact and sophistication. Although he is very showy, he seems to be unable to win over any woman. But in fact, he has a very clear positioning of himself. He has the guts to secretly cheat with an ordinary female employee of ENN and play a secret knot. But if he wanted to get his hands on the powerful Director Lan, Tang Ming didn't think he had the ability.

A security guard is a security guard. Even if there is support from the middle-level leader, Director Qian, Tang Ming will never make fun of his own future. Not to mention asking for trouble and fantasizing about a pheasant turning into a phoenix.

This is also the biggest essential difference between Tang Ming and Xiao Zheng. Tang Ming's family was well-off. He had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he was supported by an aunt who was financially strong. As long as you work steadily, you don't expect to have a big future in this life, but you won't be much worse than your peers. But if you make a mistake and capsize in the gutter, your life will be ruined. Xiao Zheng is different. He has experienced ups and downs in his life since he was a child. Countless times, I came close to success, only to be knocked back to my original form either voluntarily or accidentally. In just twenty-five years, we have tasted more ups and downs than an ordinary person can in a lifetime. Therefore, in terms of life attitude, he is more unruly than the cautious Tang Ming, and he is more open-minded when facing problems.

Perhaps this is the main reason why Xiao Zheng has not been able to show his personality so far. Otherwise, based on Lan Xin's assessment of him, he must be at least an elite in the industry, not to mention a dominant player.

As a luxury cruise ship restaurant, Pearl No. 1’s business is busiest in the summer. During the day, the passenger flow at night is several times higher than during the day.

Breathing the river breeze, sipping fine wine, and taking in the glittering night view of the Pearl River, if there are one or two graceful beauties around you at this time, your life will basically be complete.

This is the selling point of Pearl One, and why dignitaries like to crowd on this expensive cruise ship.

Xiao Zheng arrived at the meeting place by subway. He first took a look at the huge cruise ship, which was nearly 30 meters high, and marveled: "It's simply a palace on the water."

Pearl No. 1 has a total of eight floors. In addition to providing guests with exquisite catering services, there are also entertainment facilities such as floating bars and KTVs. It even provides guests with acrobatic performances for free. It is a hundred times richer in entertainment than many central commercial cities. . Of course, such a high-end place is naturally not within the reach of ordinary people. An admission ticket alone costs up to a thousand, and except for the performances that are provided to guests for free, most entertainment is charged separately. Even if a person goes on a boat for recreation alone, he can't even think about walking around with dignity without carrying eight thousand yuan in his arms.

Seen from a distance, the Pearl No. 1 on the water is shining with bright stars, like a palace on the water. The joyful and unrestrained laughter floats down from the cruise ship, stirring up the self-esteem of ordinary citizens below the ship like a devil.

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark. Luxury cars one after another parked in the parking area provided by Pearl One. One by one, well-dressed or elegant men and women stepped out of luxury cars, walked towards Pearl No. 1 in high spirits, where ordinary people would be timid, and began their nightlife of reveling in luxury.

Xiao Zheng, who was sitting on a stone bench smoking a cigarette and drinking mineral water, looked at the men and women boarding the Pearl No. 1 with an almost indifferent gaze. There was no envy in his eyes, let alone jealousy. A numb sheen could be found in his deep eyes.

He does not hate the rich, and he is not a compassionate man. He had only seen the despair and desolation in another corner of the world. While some people are spending one boring night after another drunkenly, there are many people on the other side of the world who are trying their best to redeem their qualifications for survival tomorrow. this is life. Some people are in heaven, and more people are heading to hell.

Xiao Zheng has been to hell, so he has the right to speak more than more people, so he is willing to invest all his savings in the old dean and silently support the old dean. In the past, Xiao Zheng did not think that what the old dean did was very good. In a certain rebellious stage, he even took pleasure in making the old dean angry. But now, he thinks the old dean is the greatest man in the world.

Lan Xin came over at some point and silently stared at Xiao Zheng, who was wearing ordinary clothes and filled with a decadent aura. Compared with that luxurious and dazzling cruise ship, Xiao Zheng, who was sitting alone on a stone bench and smoking, was extremely desolate, as if he was out of tune with the world.

This is the man who was engraved in the bones of Lan Xin, a man who was once high-spirited and regarded as the favored man of heaven. Seven years have passed and he has changed. He no longer has a high profile and is reduced to a small security guard. Living on that meager salary. His eyes are still familiar, but no longer clear. His face has changed even more, losing the edges and corners of his youth and not as smooth as before, with a hint of loneliness in the roughness. It seems that these seven years have been tortured by life, and he has been tortured into a loser that can be seen everywhere in society.

Lan Xin was thinking a lot, and a bitter feeling came to her heart. There is pity, but more of it is longing. Eager to understand his past, eager to put him back on his feet. Desire - He can once again become the proud man of heaven, high-spirited and high-spirited.

"Mr. Lan."

A low and gentle voice sounded in her ears, which made Lan Xinfang's heart tremble slightly. He raised his head and saw Xiao Zheng looking at him humbly, with a vague sense of distance in his eyes.

This look is very familiar, because there is always a faint sense of harmless distance in her eyes. This is a defensive awareness that she has honed over many years of working life, and it is also an aura that comes from being in a high position for a long time. But the distance in Xiao Zheng's eyes clearly meant something else. A kind of humility that may satisfy people's vanity, but makes Lan Xin heartache.

Yes. Now she is the CFO of ENN, a super strong woman who is looked up to by everyone. But he was an unknown person, a down-and-out man who huddled in a small security department and was busy with three meals a day. Is the distance between the two more than just a table apart in high school

After coming back to her senses, Lan Xin forcibly suppressed the urge to recognize each other that kept pouring out of her heart. She wanted to tell Xiao Zheng at all costs that she was the one who sat in the back row of him in high school and secretly put fruit and milk in his drawer. girl. She was the girl who would rather give up her excellent college entrance examination results and repeat her studies in order to go to the same university as him.

But she didn't dare. She has been in the shopping mall for many years and is no longer a fledgling little girl. She is ice-smart, wise and alert. Has its own set of life rules. She knows that most men's self-esteem can be trampled on by life, but they will never be allowed to be hurt by women. That would make him restless, and even the last fig leaf would be ruthlessly shattered.

So she decided to hide it. Start over with him...

"Have you been here for a long time?" Lan Xin forced herself to suppress the confusion in her heart and said with a gentle smile. "Why don't you go in and wait for me?"

Although it was an unintentional remark made in a moment of urgency, Lan Xin regretted it after saying it suddenly.

Go in and wait

Of course, Lan Xin, who has a successful career, will not have any burden on the one thousand yuan ticket. But what about Xiao Zheng? The money he makes in a month is not even enough to open a bottle of wine on the table.

Lan Xin's delicate body tensed up, and she looked cautiously at Xiao Zheng, who was likely to be stabbed, feeling regretful.
