Although he said this, Li Meixiang's eyes turned around in the room, trying to search for Zhang Xingan's trace.
"Aunt, why hasn't Cousin Xing'an come back today?" Li Meixiang asked tentatively.
Fan Lan sighed heavily on purpose: "Oh, Zhang is in a serious financial crisis. Your cousin leaves early and returns late every day, trying to save the dying company. There is really no way..."
"Don't worry, Auntie. When I go back, tell my brother and father to help you raise money for your company. It should be able to help Mrs. Zhang tide over the difficulties." Meixiang said flatteringly.
Although Li Meixiang studied business, she only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Even the school she attended was bought with a lot of money. How can she understand the intrigues in the mall?
She naively thought that if her father and brother doted on her, as long as she went home and acted like a baby, she would be able to convince them to help Zhang's financing.
"What a good boy, whoever marries you as his wife will be blessed."
When the two were chatting in full swing, Zhang Xing'an walked in, smelling of alcohol and cold.
Zhang Xing'an already had a good skin, but his delicate face looked even more charming under the light.
"Cousin, are you back?" Li Meixiang, who had been paying attention to the movement of the door, saw Zhang Xingan appearing, and immediately went to greet him courteously.
When Zhang Xingan saw Li Meixiang, his expression instantly became gloomy and ugly: "Mom, why is she here?"
He didn't have the slightest affection for his distant cousin, who had big breasts and no brains, thought he was smart, but was actually just stupid.
Especially in Lan Zun's time, Li Meixiang made him lose face in front of Ruan Bai, and Zhang Xing'an, who had no feelings for her at all, now has even less good looks towards her.
Zhang Xingan was extremely thirsty, ignoring Mei Xiang's admiring eyes, directly picked up the glass on the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in big gulps.
"Xing'an, why do you kid talk to your cousin? She came to see mom on purpose, so is that your attitude?"
Seeing her son's displeasure towards Mei Xiang, Fan Lan began to scold Zhang Xing'an: "You went out to drink again? How many times have I told you that your cousin just returned to China, you should spend more time with her?" , why are you so disobedient, are you trying to piss me off?"
Fan Lan's nagging made Zhang Xing'an, who asked Gulu to drink water, very impatient.
With a kick of his long legs, he kicked the tea table in front of him far away.
The teapot on the coffee table fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and the living room was in a mess.
Fan Lan frowned, and scolded her son rudely: "Zhang Xing'an, what are you doing? Are you taking my mother seriously?"
"Mom, do I want to be quiet? Don't disturb me, I'm very annoying!" Zhang Xingan sat on the sofa with his head in his arms, looking very depressed.
There was an indescribable dullness in his voice.
He and Ruan Bai have been divorced for some time, but Ruan Bai's shadow has been swaying in his mind.
Even if he numbed himself with work and alcohol crazily, it still didn't help. He really felt that he was hopeless.
The more you can't get it, the more eager you are to move!
Seeing his son like this, Fan Lan sighed, and while ordering people to clean up the mess in the living room, he continued to scold him: "Look at you, you have been like a bully since you were a child, and your temper has always been so bad. Just throwing things, what kind of bad habit is this? If your father is here, you two will have to fight... If you have anything to worry about, just tell your mother, or you can talk to Meixiang more. You are young It's easier to communicate with people than with an old man like me..."
Mei Xiang also squatted in front of Zhang Xingan, she said cautiously: "Cousin, is it a trouble at work? I heard from my aunt that the Zhang family is in financial crisis now, but don't worry, I..."
"Please stop talking, okay?"
Zhang Xingan stood up irritably, put on the coat he just took off, and his hoarse voice revealed a deep tiredness: "I still have something to go out, you go to bed first, don't wait for me."
"Where are you going after you come back? You are not allowed to go out! Are you going to fool around with your gang of cronies again?" Fan Lan roared angrily.
Mei Xiang stopped in front of him, and said domineeringly: "Cousin, I'm at your house today, you can't go anywhere, you have to stay with me at home!"
Zhang Xingan glanced at her with disdain, and pushed her away fiercely.
Meixiang accidentally fell onto the sofa beside her. Fortunately, the sofa was big and soft enough. Although she didn't fall, she was dizzy for a long time because of too much strength.
In that short while, Mei Xiang heard the sound of the door closing heavily, and the sound of the car starting the engine outside.
She hurriedly chased after her, but only saw the back of the car driving away, so angry that Meixiang threw herself into Fan Lan's arms, crying aggrievedly.
...
the next day.
At work, Ruan Bai saw that Zhou Xiaosu's complexion turned rosy, and felt relieved.
However, when she thought of the renovation project they were in charge of, her heart came to her throat again.
That project was not only stressful, but also extremely hard to do. Can Zhou Xiaosu, who is pregnant, continue to be competent?
Especially, now that Zhou Xiaosu is facing the juncture of promotion, if the news of her pregnancy suddenly spreads, it will definitely attract criticism.
Perhaps seeing Ruan Bai's worries, Zhou Xiaosu said calmly: "Since I have decided to keep this child, let everything go as it pleases. Ruan Bai, I may not be able to continue working on that project with my current body. I applied for a transfer, and other colleagues will make up for it. You must perform well in the team, and don't let the VIVI group look down on the members of our team, you know?"
"Sister Zhou, I will work hard." Ruan Bai nodded understandingly.
Zhou Xiaosu took out a gray USB flash drive from his handbag, and handed it to Ruan Bai cautiously: "This USB flash drive contains all kinds of architectural design materials I have collected. Some of them also involve construction projects, Surveying and mapping, etc., anyway, it covers a lot of knowledge points. There are also some successful cases of modern and modern masters that I have collected, and you can learn from their experiences.”
Ruan Bai took it over, grateful: "Thank you, sister Zhou, I really don't know what to say to you..."
People in the workplace are generally very scheming, because there is a competitive relationship among colleagues in the company, and most of them maintain only superficial relationships. The struggle behind the scenes can be described as fierce, and they will never give their own things to each other. teach.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaosu was so good.
This moved Ruan Bai beyond measure.
Zhou Xiaosu smiled and said to Ruan Bai: "Among so many colleagues, I think you and I are the most acquainted. This U disk has a secret security. Later, I will send the password to your WeChat."
