Chapter 48: Exchange photos

Views:

On Friday afternoon, Jian Hang woke up from a nap and asked Lawyer Xing for Mrs. Gao's phone number.

Lawyer Xing was worried: "Did Liao Yongmei find fault with you again?"

"No, I was looking for her for work. Thank you Xing Lu for your concern."

Jian Hang and Xing Lu exchanged some pleasantries, hung up the phone, and called Liao Yongmei directly.

Jian Hang didn't save Liao Yongmei's phone number at the beginning, but Liao Yongmei had her number.

Liao Yongmei saw a name that had never appeared on the screen, and her heart skipped a beat. She recovered for a few seconds before answering the phone, "Mr. Jian, hello, is it the incident before, is there anything wrong?"

She thought Jian Hang wanted her to apologize publicly in Moments.

"Isn't that a turning point?" Jian Hang cut to the chase, "I'm looking for you to talk about work. I have a job in the personnel department here. I don't know if you are interested. If you have time, let's meet and chat."

After finishing the call, Liao Yongmei stayed on the sofa for a few minutes.

Having been a full-time wife for six years, she refuses to admit it, and sometimes dare not face the workplace. I also want to find a challenging job time and time again, but I am scared back by myself again and again.

Liao Yongmei let out a long breath and went to the cloakroom to look for clothes.

She took off all the precious jewelry on her body, leaving only a necklace, which was a gift from her son on Mother's Day. Not expensive, two thousand yuan, my son bought it with a scholarship.

She looked at her ring finger, the diamond ring was a gift from Gao Yu on her wedding anniversary the year she just left the job, and thanked her for the sacrifices she made for her family and her son.

Even if she made trouble with him a few months ago, she was not willing to pick it off.

Liao Yongmei took a deep breath, took off the diamond ring, and threw it into the jewelry box.

Putting on light makeup and pulling up her hair, Liao Yongmei looked and looked in front of the mirror. The person in the mirror was both unfamiliar and familiar.

When they arrived at the coffee shop they had appointed, Liao Yongmei saw the people inside from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Jian Hang is wearing a white dress today and is reading a book.

Although she was not as stunning as Jian Hang when she was young, she was still so confident and strong, and she was so radiant. At that time, how could she have imagined that six years later, she would tear up the "little three" hysterically.

Jian Hang is reading the book on patent litigation. He borrowed the shell of this book before, and today he is seriously reading the cases in it. The borrowed bookcase was returned, and the book on love skills was also in the bag. She planned to take it home for dinner at night. It was not safe to leave it in the apartment, in case Qin Moling saw it.

She put away her book and greeted Liao Yongmei, "Sit down. What would you like to drink?"

Liao Yongmei was not polite, and ordered a cup of her favorite flavor.

Jian Hang has a habit of not going around in circles when talking about things, "I've changed jobs."

Liao Yongmei was surprised, and then she couldn't express her guilt, "Because of me?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Jian Hang smiled, "You still don't have the charm to ask me to resign for you. I'm not in good health, so I'll change my job."

"Yeah. Lemon four."

Liao Yongmei was not so surprised suddenly, "I know four parts."

The fourth part is a mess, and Jian Hang, a layman, dared to take over this mess, which surprised her.

Jian Hang didn't hide it from her, "Going to the fourth department, I have to reorganize the team, and personnel adjustments are inevitable. The people in Le Meng's current business department will not cooperate with me. You have worked in a listed company before, and you have excellent abilities. I was the first to think of it. about you."

Liao Yongmei was grateful: "Thank you."

It has been a long time since no one told her that she has outstanding abilities. Her only aura now is Mrs. Gao. Many people can't even remember her name clearly.

Liao Yongmei was not at ease. She didn't want to find a job because others looked at Gao Yu's face, or because Gao Yu owed favors, because she didn't want to owe Gao Yu favors. Now Gao Yu doesn't mention divorce anymore, and he does housework when he comes home, but he basically doesn't talk to her.

Saying that he has gotten better is out of the question.

But she couldn't find anything wrong with him, it's just that she had had enough of this cold life and didn't want to rely on him for everything anymore.

Liao Yongmei wanted to confirm one thing, "Boss Jian, I'm sorry, forgive me for being stupid, but you asked me to go to Le Meng because you wanted to save Gao Yu's face?"

Jian Hang: "When I set up a team, I won't even give Qin Moling face, let alone others. I'm looking for Liao Yongmei, not Mrs. Gao. I asked Lawyer Xing for your number."

Liao Yongmei breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

She worried, "After all, I have been away from the workplace for six years, and I have no confidence."

Jian Hang didn't talk nonsense and tried to comfort her with great truths, he just said: "With me, what are you afraid of. I will cover everything for you."

Liao Yongmei now finally understands why it is rumored in the venture capital circle that there is no man who has worked with Jian Hang who has not been attracted to her.

It's very reassuring to work with someone as courageous as her.

Jian Hang said again: "The fourth part is an opportunity for me to change careers, and it is also an opportunity for you to return to the workplace. You think about it."

The coffee was delivered, and Liao Yongmei tore apart the sugar and milk and put it in. She used to drink coffee without sugar. I don't know when it started. She hates bitter taste.

Jian Hang took out a piece of paper from his bag, along with a business card, and pushed it from the table to Liao Yongmei, "Recommend some books for you."

Liao Yongmei picked up the book list, all of which were books in the fast-moving consumer industry.

There is also a business card attached to the book list, Le Meng's Secretary Gao.

Jian Hang said: "If you decide to go, you can directly contact Secretary Gao to apply for the job. The position is the deputy director of personnel, who specializes in managing the personnel of the fourth department. This is the condition for me to take over the fourth department, so I skip the interview and join the job directly."

She opened the book on patented technology, and then looked at the cases.

After finishing a cup of coffee, Jian Hang pays the bill.

She put away her book and put it in her bag, "I still have something to do, excuse me."

They didn't even chat a few words when they met, and they could fully explain on the phone that she met Liao Yongmei out of respect and attention.

Naturally withdraw after chatting.

Liao Yongmei was surprised, is it over like this? She turned around and watched Jian Hang, and Liao Yongmei slowly turned back until Jian Hang was no longer visible.

She made all kinds of mental preparations on the way here, she thought that Jian Hang would ask, how are you and Gao Yu doing recently? Planning to divorce? Men are unreliable, don't you think about yourself? Are you willing to be a housewife

She doesn't want to talk about Gao Yu with others at all, it's her scar, and she doesn't want to expose it to outsiders.

But if Jian Hang asks, even if she doesn't want to, she will say a few words. After all, Jian Hang thinks highly of her and thinks of her first when she has a job.

On the way to the cafe, she thought about dozens of questions about her relationship with Gao Yu that Jian Hang might ask. I also thought about hundreds of sentences, the reason why Jian Hang would persuade her to return to the workplace.

As a result, Jian Hang didn't ask a single word, and didn't persuade him a word.

Only put the conditions that can be given to her in front of her, and there is no more nonsense.

--

After coming out of the cafe, Jian Hang went back to his parents. Jiang Shenghe was going to have dinner at home tonight, so she went home early to help.

Passing by a flower shop, I bought a bouquet of flowers for my mother.

At home, Chen Yu was very busy.

The steamed dumplings with shrimps that Jiang Shenghe wanted to eat was troublesome to make, especially for her first time. Jiang Shenghe called her that day and said that he would come to the house on Friday and stay at home for dinner.

She asked Jiang Shenghe what he wanted to eat and prepared it in advance.

Jiang Shenghe was not polite, saying that he wanted to eat steamed shrimp dumplings.

Jian Hang went to the door and opened it by himself, "Mom, I'm back."

Chen Yu was in the kitchen, "Didn't I tell you to wait for the sun to go down before returning, it's not hot."

"It's okay, I'm fine at home, I'll come here to help you." Jian Hang put the flowers on the coffee table and went to the kitchen.

Chen Yu made a list of the menu, and all the ingredients needed were almost packed, "You don't need to be busy, you can eat fruit." She brought the washed fruit to her daughter.

Chen Yu glanced at her daughter, "Yes, it seems that exercise is effective."

It was only the fifth day, and the daughter's face turned red.

Chen Yu chatted, "You insist on walking every day now?"

"Well, the leg pain is gone, and I will continue to run next week."

Chen Yu knew about her daughter going to Le Meng, and she never interfered with her daughter's work decisions, but she had to say something that should be said, so that her daughter knew, "When a couple is in the same company, quarrels are inevitable, you should think about it clearly."

Jian Hang reassured his mother, "Mom, Qin Moling will let me."

Chen Yu: "Just listen to what a man says. Before your father got married, he said he wouldn't quarrel with me. Do you think he quarreled less?"

Jian Hang smiled, she could take it easy: "It's normal to quarrel, if you take the initiative to apologize after the quarrel, it's over."

Chen Yu didn't say any more, "It's fine if you think it's okay. It's okay to quarrel, you come back and talk to your mother, don't be bored in your heart."

Jian Hang suddenly smelled a unique aroma, "Mom, did you steam the meat buns?"

"No, steamed dumplings. It's the first time to steam, so let's try it in a pot and see how it tastes." The pot is boiling, steaming, accompanied by the smell of meat.

"Why did you remember to make steamed dumplings? For Qin Moling?"

"Jiang Shenghe wants to eat."

"..."

The two wonderful elementary school classmates have a soft spot for steamed dumplings.

In the evening, when Qin Moling and Jiang Shenghe arrived, Jian Zhongjun went upstairs with them, and he waited downstairs for his son-in-law and Jiang Shenghe.

Qin Moling changed into his own slippers from the shoe cabinet, and gave Jiang Shenghe a new pair.

Jiang Shenghe looked at Qin Moling. Qin Moling helped him get his slippers for the first time, in order to show off that he was a member of the family and he was a guest.

"Come on, it's hot outside." Chen Yu came out of the kitchen, Jiang Shenghe vaguely still looked like a child. I haven't seen her for more than 20 years. If she meets her on the road, she will definitely not recognize her.

Jiang Shenghe brought a large bouquet of flowers and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I'm here to repent."

He gave the flowers to Chen Yu, then hugged Chen Yu gently, "When I was young, I made you angry a lot."

Chen Yu smiled: "If you are all obedient, I may not remember." Jiang Shenghe half-jokingly said: "I am actually very obedient, it was Qin Moling who dragged me into the water."

Qin Moling: "..."

His mother-in-law was still by his side, so he endured it first.

Jian Zhongjun invited them to sit in the living room and made coffee for them.

Qin Moling came here more times, and gradually regarded this as his own home, he took a cup and poured a cup of warm water in front of Jian Hang.

Jian Hang looked at him, did not speak, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Qin Moling sat down next to her.

Chen Yu brought two plates, which contained crystal clear steamed dumplings with shrimps. This was the second pot, with a little more seasoning, which tasted better than the first pot.

Among the two plates, there were four on one plate, which was for Jiang Shenghe.

Chen Yu didn't know whether Qin Moling liked to eat or not, so he only put two.

"You can't drink on an empty stomach, eat something first, just out of the pot."

"Hanghang, there are still some in the kitchen, you go and bring them."

"Okay." Jian Hang got up and went to the kitchen.

Qin Moling doesn't like steamed dumplings, but when he ate Jianhang's steamed dumplings when he was a child, when he thinks about it, he feels that it is different from others.

Jiang Shenghe was only at home and at Qin Moling's, making outsiders feel cold and indifferent, difficult to get along with, but Chen Yu had seen what he was like when he was a child and what embarrassments he had.

He didn't say goodbye, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Naturally, I can't remember what the steamed dumplings tasted like when I was a child, but the steamed dumplings I bit into now have thin, juicy skin and delicious taste.

"Mr. Chen, I have remembered this steamed dumpling for many years. At that time, I only ate one, and Qin Moling coaxed away that small box."

Qin Moling: "..." He didn't expect Jiang Shenghe to remember this.

Chen Yu finally understood why Jiang Shenghe specially ordered steamed dumplings with shrimps today. At that time, Jian Hang was in middle school. On the way to pick him up from the kindergarten, she would buy some food for Jian Hang. Sometimes she would buy steamed dumplings to avoid getting cold , she always brings a cartoon insulation box, buys it and puts it in.

After receiving Jian Hang, she took it back to the office.

Mischievous children like Qin Moling and Jiang Shenghe affected the order of self-study classes, and she let them go to the office alone to do their homework.

Maybe they coaxed Jian Hang to eat steamed dumplings while she was in class.

Because the steamed dumplings were served in their own insulated box, Jiang Shenghe mistakenly thought that she made the steamed dumplings.

Qin Moling explained: "Mom, it's not my coaxing, Jian Hang gave it to me."

Jiang Shenghe: "Then why didn't you give it to me?"

Qin Moling: "..."

Was speechless by Jiang Shenghe.

He couldn't say that he didn't want to do homework at the time, and he kept teasing Jian Hang there, and even gave her an English name that was not as nice as the original name.

Jian Hang gave him the steamed dumplings.

Jian Zhongjun joked: "It turns out that Hang Hang was hungry and thin during that time, so thin that his eyes became bigger."

Everyone laughed.

As soon as Qin Moling turned his face away, Jian Hang came over with steamed dumplings, looking at him with meaningful eyes.

Jian Hang put a plate full of steamed dumplings on the tea table, "You guys robbed me of steamed dumplings when you were young."

Jiang Shenghe smiled, "I didn't rob it, your husband did it."

Jian Hang didn't remember Qin Moling when he was a child, so he sat down next to him, "You really coaxed me to eat steamed dumplings?"

"No." Qin Moling insisted: "You gave it to me."

Jian Hang: "..."

She thought Qin Moling was pretty since she was a child

should not.

If she thinks he is good-looking, then why doesn't she remember him.

Jian Hang stood up, pulled Qin Moling, and said to Jiang Shenghe: "Boss Jiang, take your time, I will settle the account with Qin Moling when I was a child."

Jiang Sheng smiled and dismantled Qin Moling, "Account what needs to be settled carefully, don't be merciful."

Chen Yu said with a smile: "You two have been fighting since childhood, and you are still fighting now."

In the living room, they continued to talk about interesting stories in the previous classes, and what industries those children are in now.

Jian Hang pulled Qin Moling to his room and locked the door behind him. She didn't really want to settle accounts, but wanted to ask him about his childhood.

Qin Moling looked at her: "Can't remember me?"

Jian Hang shook his head, really couldn't remember.

Things about middle shift are very vague, I can only remember one or two things, but not him.

"You always remember when I was a kid?"

Qin Moling nodded.

"Then when we were talking about your class, why didn't you say you knew me?"

"You don't remember me, so you didn't say it." He added: "Jiang Shenghe and I are the disobedient boys you said, and are often called to the office to do homework."

"..."

Jian Hang was dumbfounded. Just now when her mother said that they were disobedient when they were young, she didn't worry about it. After all, Xueba sometimes didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect them to be so not serious.

"I didn't want to do my homework at the time," teasing her with these few words, but I couldn't utter them, "I read your English picture book." He only had a chance to tell the truth today: "Jian Hang, Olivia is nice."

"...you are... that brother?"

Can't believe it.

She only remembered that a brother said, "Little Olive sounds good."

She changed her English name when she returned home.

Jian Hang tried hard to think about what he looked like when he was a child, but he couldn't piece it together.

Qin Moling went to the living room to get a bag, which contained a wallet.

He took out the two-inch ID photo, "See if you can remember it."

Jian Hang stared at his ID photo, it looked good when he was a child, no wonder he gave him steamed dumplings and insisted on changing his English name to Olive.

I have a vague impression, but I still can't remember what happened in the office that day.

She doesn't remember English picture books or steamed dumplings.

"Give me this ID photo, okay?"

"Yes." Qin Moling asked her, "Do you have any ID photos from when you were a child?"

"Yes, I keep all the unused ID photos from childhood to adulthood." She pointed to a study table in the room, "The one on the right is the most >

Jian Hang went to the living room to get his bag.

The two of them came out to get their bags one after another, and the three in the living room wondered what they were doing.

Jian Hang locked the door again, took out his wallet, put the bag on the edge of the study table, and put Qin Moling's ID photo in the wallet.

"Did you find it?" She glanced at Qin Moling.

"I found it." Qin Moling said, "I'll take one."

He is no stranger to how she looked when she was a child, just like in his impression.

Qin Moling also put her ID photo in the wallet, the two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, he lowered his head, and gently sucked her lips.

Jian Hang hugged his waist, just as the kiss between the two deepened, there was a "bang", Jian Hang's bag was not stable, lost his center of gravity, and fell off the study table.

Qin Moling let her go and bent down to pick up the bag. A book fell out of the bag with the cover facing up. Without the borrowed high-end shell, the big characters of love skills on the cover come into view.

Jian Hang: "..."

She forgot to take out the book when she got home.

Qin Moling picked up the bag, picked up the book and handed it to her.

Jian Hang calmed down, and quick-witted: "Didn't I ask you to chase me, I'm afraid you won't chase others, so I bought it for you to see, but I haven't had time to give it to you."

After that, she stuffed the book to him again.

Qin Moling: "..."
