"How could it be? I already said I wanted to be your friend." Zhang Zhiling softened her expression and smiled.
"I just said, Director Zhang, you are a generous woman and you won't argue with a little secretary like me." Linlin smiled.
Linlin looks like she wants to listen to unscrupulous people, but she is very discerning in her heart. She seems innocent but has discernment. She can see that Ou Qingheng does not like to see Zhang Zhiling, so she keeps pretending to be stupid towards Zhang Zhiling. Stupid, just because I want to keep this job.
The waiter just brought the dishes. Linlin put the dishes on Zhang Zhiling's plate very attentively and said with a smile: "Director Zhang, you eat. If you have any food in the future, you can send it to our secretary's office and we will give it to you." Mr. Ou will send it in, but we don’t know whether Mr. Ou will eat it or not.”
Zhang Zhiling gave her an unclear look.
Linlin continued to eat happily, completely pretending not to see Zhang Zhiling's gaze.
"Linlin, you have a big heart. It's no wonder that people in your secretary office say you are a careless girl. But I think Brother Ou doesn't like stupid people. Can you tell me how you are doing this? Who took over Linda's position under Brother Ou's critical eye?" Zhang Zhiling said quietly.
Linlin almost choked on the food she ate.
She coughed several times before suppressing the stinging pain.
"Maybe it's because Mr. Ou sees me as a down-to-earth person. I don't have any other skills, so I can only do my best to do what Mr. Ou tells me to do."
"No, Linlin, I think you are quite smart. You know what to say and what not to say. You are also strict with your mouth. Sometimes you will pretend to be stupid. As long as you do what Brother Ou usually does, Report it to me, I will definitely benefit from you. How about an apartment with four bedrooms and three living rooms? Some white-collar workers in T City have to work for most of their lives to afford it." Zhang Zhiling simply refused to pretend to her. Stupid, direct financial temptation.
Linlin didn't feel excited, but felt even more miserable.
"Director Zhang, please don't make me laugh. I'm just a little secretary. I can't interrupt what Mr. Ou wants to do." Linlin said bitterly.
"Why, do you think a house with four bedrooms and three living rooms is not big enough?"
"It's not that I'm not big enough, but I don't dare to offend Mr. Ou. A word from Mr. Ou may make it impossible for me to survive in T City. Let alone an apartment, I'm afraid I can't even afford a bathroom. Please Director Zhang, please stop making such jokes with me." Linlin said pitifully with a bitter face.
Zhang Zhiling looked at her funny and said, "I just want to know the whereabouts of Brother Ou. It scares you, as if I want to eat you."
This is more serious than eating me.
This was just a curse in Linlin's heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Director Zhang is really joking. I, a little secretary, can't tell you about Mr. Ou's whereabouts. Director Zhang, please don't embarrass me."
"So, you rejected me?"
"I don't dare. I'm really too timid. It's not easy to find a good job in today's society."
"I will allow you to work in the Zhang Group, and the salary will be the same as your current salary."
Do you think I’m stupid? Although the Zhang Group is also a wealthy family, can it compare with the Ou Group? The welfare of the Ou Group is the best in the industry, especially being Mr. Ou’s secretary has the opportunity to increase in value. If you can have the opportunity Being the director of the sales department is a bad job. I would give up such a great opportunity for a small profit.
Linlin couldn't help but curse in her heart.
But on the surface he said: "Director Zhang, thank you for your kindness, but I am too timid. I am really afraid of death, so I am sorry."
You can imagine how ugly Zhang Zhiling's face was. It was difficult for anyone to be in a good mood after being rejected over and over again.
Neither of them enjoyed this meal particularly happily.
"Let's go." Zhang Zhiling paid the money and said.
Linlin followed her out, handed the bag she was carrying to Zhang Zhiling, and said, "Director Zhang, your bag."
"Take it, it's just for a blind dog. If I take it back, others will think I'm robbing a dog." After Zhang Zhiling finished speaking, she got into the car angrily and walked away. went.
Linlin touched her nose. It was so dangerous. The plague was finally gone.
Linlin took a taxi home and took a shower. She called Yao Yiyi and it rang many times before she got through.
"Hello, madam? I'm Linlin."
"I know, I have your name on it. Is it okay to call me at this time?"
"Young madam, it's actually nothing. But didn't you call me if someone harassed Mr. Ou before? Director Zhang invited me out today, and he invited me to dinner and gave me expensive gifts. Why? She just wants to know Mr. Ou’s whereabouts from me. Moreover, she often delivers food to Mr. Ou and asks our secretary to deliver it in her own name without taking any credit. I’m afraid that she is trying to make progress by retreating. Let Mr. Ou know how good she is, Madam, you have to be careful." Linlin said in a squeaky voice.
"Linlin, thank you. I didn't expect that you would remember all my jokes."
"Young Madam, I just think that you and Mr. Ou are a perfect match. They are both talented and beautiful, so that's why I told you this."
"I know. Linlin, I really want to thank you this time. When my mother's condition stabilizes, I will treat you to dinner and treat it as a thank you gift."
"Young madam, there's no rush to eat. You take good care of your aunt. If there are any cats, dogs, flies, or anything like that that bother Mr. Ou, I'll tell you again. I won't bother you for now."
"Then you go to bed early, that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Yiyi's eyes quickly flashed with a trace of haze. This Zhang Zhiling really didn't give up. Ou Qingheng even spoke stern words to her, how could this woman be so shameless and turn a blind eye.
Mrs. Huang was leaning on the bedside drinking porridge. Seeing her like this, she hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Who called?"
Yao Yiyi came back to her senses and said with a smile: "A friend asked her to help me get a certificate. After she got it done, she asked me to come and get it at some time. I thought about treating her to a meal when I got the certificate. It’s a thank you gift.”
"Is that so? I see that you don't look very cool. If you really encounter any difficulties, you must tell your mother. It's true that she is ill now, but she still has connections from before." Mrs. Huang looked at Yao Yiyi, He said very firmly.
"Mom, it's okay. If I really encounter difficulties, Qingheng will help me solve it. You should take a good rest after you just woke up. Don't be tired."
Mrs. Huang nodded.
Yao Yiyi said again: "Mom, does this porridge suit your appetite?"
"It's okay, but I haven't eaten braised pork for a long time, so my mouth is a bit bland."
"When you are ready, I will cook braised pork for you."
"Xiaoyi, this is what you said. When mom is discharged from the hospital, you will cook a lot of delicious food for her."
"Okay, as long as you feel better, I will do it for you."
After finishing the porridge, Mrs. Huang wanted to look in the mirror and comb her hair. Yao Yiyi said: "Mom, let me comb it for you. We have known each other for a long time. Even my daughter, you, have never combed her hair."
"sure."
Yao Yiyi took the comb and gently combed Mrs. Huang's hair. As a result, the comb was full of fallen hair. Yao Yiyi saw that the originally black hair was not only turning yellow, but also prone to hair loss. There are so many that one can’t help but feel distressed just by looking at them.
Yao Yiyi raised her head slightly and forced back the tears that were about to fall.
She gently combed Mrs. Huang's hair, but she still lost a lot of hair. Looking at the hair that was not much left, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. If she continued like this, she might be bald in a short time. Originally, There isn't much hair left.
Mrs. Huang turned her head and looked at Yao Yiyi looking at the hair in her hands in a daze. Her eyes remained unchanged and she smiled: "I have already lost so much hair. I think I may have to wear a hat in the near future." Okay, Xiaoyi, what color hat do you think I look better in?"
Yao Yiyi swallowed back the bitterness in her heart and smiled: "Mom is good-looking, and she looks good in anything she wears."
Mrs. Huang smiled lovingly and said: "Actually, when I was young, I wanted to cut my hair to see if a bald head would look better. But at that time, I didn't want to cut my hair because I wanted to be beautiful. I didn't expect that this disease would be better for me when I got older. I have made a decision, when you are bald, you can take some photos for me and send them to Moments to let netizens see if they look good."
"Mom, don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Huang just smiled.
As a result, Yao Yiyi saw Mrs. Huang who had become bald when she came the next day. She was stunned, and An An, who was holding her hand, also opened her mouth slightly.
"Xiao Yi, An An, you are here, come here quickly." Mrs. Huang said with a smile.
Yao Yiyi came to her senses and led An An over.
Mrs. Huang bent down slightly and said, "An'an, look at grandma's bald head, does it look good?"
"Grandma and mother look alike. Even if they become bald, they will still look good." An An said with a smile on her face and very seriously.
"Oh, my dear grandson, you have such a sweet mouth. Grandma really likes you." Mrs. Huang said with a smile.
Yao Yiyi just looked at Huang's father, who was standing on the other side with a straight face. She moved her lips and said, "Mr. Huang, did you help mom cut it?"
"I asked your dad to cut it. Instead of having a lot of hair fall out and you will look distressed, I might as well just cut it bald. I look pretty good in the mirror." Mrs. Huang said with an open-minded smile, but she didn't know what she thought. What, the smile on her face dropped slightly, she looked at Yao Yiyi, and said: "Xiaoyi, you see you recognize the Huang family. Although you don't agree with your dad introducing you to your friends in Shanghai, you can You can't call him daddy, you are talking about Mr. Huang, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Yao Yiyi was stunned for a moment.
Huang's father looked at Yao Yiyi complicatedly and said, "Call me dad. Your mother is not feeling well now. Don't make her angry."
Yao Yiyi smiled bitterly. Mrs. Huang was using her illness to force everyone to develop as she expected. No matter what others thought, she really hoped that Yao Yiyi could recognize her ancestors and return to her clan.
Yao Yiyi can understand Mrs. Huang's good intentions, but she feels a little repelled by her intentions. She actually doesn't want to recognize the Huang family, especially since Huang Yiyi still has that kind of thoughts towards Ou Qingheng. If she does, she will I will definitely have more contact with the Huang family in the future. It will be bad if word comes that my sister is seducing her brother-in-law, and everyone will be embarrassed.
Just looking at Mrs. Huang's expectant eyes and her shaved hair, she sighed helplessly in her heart.
After all, she still couldn't say no.
Regardless of whether this was Mrs. Huang's wish or not, she knew that Mrs. Huang was doing this all for her.
"Dad." Yao Yiyi called in compromise.
Father Huang moved his hands, the muscles on his face twitched several times, and said, "Be good."
Yao Yiyi twitched her mouth and just nodded.
She and Huang's father really didn't have anything in common. Maybe it was because Huang's voice revealed his dislike for her that time in Beijing. She knew that Huang's father disliked her very much. Since he didn't like her, she didn't like her either. There is no need to be shy and make people annoying.
Mrs. Huang was very happy. She took Yao Yiyi's hand and said, "Xiaoyi, you and your dad must live in peace in the future. Mom is really happy than anyone else to see you return to the Huang family."
Yao Yiyi smiled and agreed.
"By the way, how are Xiao Xu and that girl?" Mrs. Huang unexpectedly brought up this topic.
Yao Yiyi was stunned again, but she quickly came to her senses and said, "I'm not sure, Mom, why do you care about this?"
"I suddenly thought of it and asked. He's quite good. I don't want him to leave any regrets. If you have time, give him a call and ask, and make some insinuations. This kid is quite arrogant, and I'm afraid his attitude towards relationships is also reserved. Yes, so you have to remind him." Mrs. Huang said as if she had come before.
"I understand, Mom, don't worry so much. I'll call him and ask when I have time."
Mrs. Huang nodded and did not continue.
