Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

"President Cao, hello, I'm Xu Jingli, and I'm here to report for an internship."

Seeing Xu Jingli's happy face, Cao Zhiqiang smiled all over his face: "Welcome, welcome! Special welcome! Oh, you, as a top student of Beijing Normal University, can come to my small temple for an internship. Yup."

"No way." Xu Jingli smiled a little embarrassedly, and then lowered her voice, "I know, it's all thanks to President Cao, otherwise, I would not be able to come to you for an internship. President Cao, you are really powerful. .”

"I'm sorry." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hands with a smile, "It's rare that you came here to recommend yourself. If I can't get you here, wouldn't it make you look down on me?"

Xu Jingli stuck out her tongue playfully: "Anyway, from today onwards, I'm going to be an intern with you, please take care of me."

"It should be." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

Xu Jingli smiled, and then looked at Xiang Dongfang who was standing behind Cao Zhiqiang: "Senior Xiang, we will be colleagues in the future, please take care of me."

Xiang Dongfang, dressed in plain cadre uniform, smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, I came here a few days earlier than you. Since we are colleagues in the future, let's encourage each other."

Seeing that the two were still being polite, Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Okay, you two want to be polite, go back and find some time in private to be polite.

As for now, Secretary Xiang, as we agreed before, you can take Xiao Xu down first.

Go get to know everyone, and get acquainted with her job by the way, so that you can get into work as soon as possible. "

"Yes, President."

Xiang Dongfang nodded slightly, and then said to Xu Jingli, "Let's go, Xu Jingli, I'll take you to your workplace and get to know your colleagues by the way."

"Okay." Xu Jingli smiled, "Where are we going next?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled: "Let's go to the personnel department to handle the internship procedures for you first, and then I will take you to meet our vice president Chen, and then vice president Chen will take you to the editorial department of "Friends". Get to know everyone.

After that, you will be an intern editor in the editorial department of "Friends".

As for your specific work arrangement, it depends on Editor-in-Chief Yu's wishes, but don't worry, Editor-in-Chief Yu is very good and will take care of you. "

"Oh, okay." Xu Jingli nodded, and then looked at Cao Zhiqiang, "Then President Cao won't go there? Why is it that Vice President Chen brought me there?"

Before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Xiang Dongfang said first: "President Cao still has important matters to deal with, so there is no need to come forward for such matters in person.

What's more, you are a strange intern, and it is easy to spread gossip. If President Cao comes forward in person, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, which is not good for everyone, understand? "

Xu Jingli blinked, turned to look at Xiang Dongfang, then at Cao Zhiqiang, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, President Cao, I was the one who was rude."

"Nothing." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Actually, it's not as serious as the secretary said. It's just that you are the second college student since the establishment of our publishing house. Even if you are only here for an internship, you will inevitably attract attention. …

So, this time I will arrange a job for you, and I will not show up, lest everyone think that you and I have something.

But don't worry, Vice President Chen is highly respected, and he was sent by the factory. If he introduces you, others will think you are a college student sent by the factory, so they won't think too much about it, understand? "

"Well, I don't quite understand." Xu Jingli shook her head.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "Let Secretary Xiang, that is, your senior sister, talk to you carefully, and you will understand when the time comes."

"Oh, I see." Xu Jingli nodded.

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's not too late, I won't tell you more, you go out with Secretary Xiang first, familiarize yourself with the working environment, and then work as soon as possible, so that you can get into the mood sooner."

Xiang Dongfang also nodded with a smile: "Xu Jingli, come with me, I will take you to your job."

Xu Jingli was taken aback, looked at Cao Zhiqiang, and seemed to be a little reluctant: "Then, President Cao, can I still come to you in the future?"

Cao Zhiqiang was also taken aback, looked at Xu Jingli's eager eyes, frowned instinctively, but quickly smiled and said: "We are also a formal unit here, and we still have to follow the rules and regulations during working hours, and work hard. Yes."

"What about in private?" Xu Jingli asked, "No, I mean, after work, can I come here and ask you about poetry and songs?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Poetry and poetry, I'm not very good at this. After all, I'm a high school dropout. How can I compare with you these famous college students who are the pride of heaven."

"How come?" Xu Jingli said, "Talent is not directly related to academic qualifications. Although you have never been to college, your poems are amazingly talented, and you can be called No.1 among contemporary young poets.

And you are not only good at writing poems, you are also very good at writing and singing songs.

Your song "Red Flag Fluttering" has now resounded all over the country and is famous all over the world. Everyone who has heard it says it is good.

Now, you are the idol of our young people, we all admire and worship you.

By the way, especially my sister, she adores you and always wants to see you.

I don't know if you have time, can I treat you to a private meal and meet my sister by the way? "

"Xu Jingli!" Xiang Dongfang frowned suddenly, "What are you doing? Are you here for an internship, or for star chasing? Do you know what you're doing?"

"Okay, okay." Cao Zhiqiang quickly waved his hand, "Don't scare her."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Xu Jingli: "Xu Jingli, I understand your feelings, but I hope you can restrain yourself. After all, you are an intern at our publishing house and a colleague of ours, not my fan. "

"Fan?" Xu Jingli asked strangely, "What is a fan?"

"Fan, um, it's the transliteration of English fans, which means fans." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"Oh, so that's the case." Xu Jingli nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Yes, so, you must understand that when you enter my place, you have to abandon your identity as a fan and star group, strictly abide by the rules and regulations here, and do your job well ...

If you can't restrain your star-chasing urges and are not qualified for this job, then you'd better get out of here early. "

"No, I didn't mean that." Xu Jingli said quickly, "I... well, I'm sorry, I was reckless, I will study hard, and I will definitely be qualified for this job!"

"Very good." Cao Zhiqiang said expressionlessly, "Since you want to join our big family and be our colleague, you must first understand one thing, that is to obey the rules.

Although there are not many rules here, there are still basic rules of superiority and inferiority.

You are just an intern, what you have to do is to listen to your seniors and do your job well.

Don't be too ambitious and interfere too much with my personal situation as the president.

Even, out of the principle of confidentiality, if you have family members and relatives who want to inquire about my personal situation through you, you should also ask three questions, and you have nothing to comment on, and you must not leak my personal information. .

This is the basic principle for you to work here as a grassroots employee!

I say that, do you understand? "

"Understood!" Xu Jingli nodded, "Don't worry, I will never say anything about you, even if my sister asks me, I won't reveal a word."

"Very good, that's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and then said to Xiang Dongfang, "Secretary Xiang, take her out, go through the formalities first, and teach her well by the way, so that she can get into the state as soon as possible."

"Yes, President." Xiang Dongfang bowed slightly to Cao Zhiqiang.

After that, Xiang Dongfang said to Xu Jingli, "Xu Jingli, come with me."

Only then did Xu Jingli bow slightly to Cao Zhiqiang, and then left the office with Xiang Dongfang.

When Xu Jingli and Xiang Dongfang left the office and Cao Zhiqiang was alone in the office again, Cao Zhiqiang sat back in his office chair, massaged his temples with both hands, and let out a long breath.

Well, it is already the middle of June, more than half a month has passed since Cao Zhiqiang fled from Yu Yuanyuan's house.

That night, Cao Zhiqiang finally used a tactic to delay the attack, and temporarily stabilized Yu Yuanyuan and Yu Fangfang, and then ran out from Yu's house, running a long distance in one breath.

When he stopped, he found that he had already run to the street.

Fortunately, when he ran to the street, the street lights were brightly lit, otherwise, he was running around in a trance at the time, and he might have encountered some gangsters blocking the way.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang realized that in such a huge capital, he suddenly had nowhere to go.

Thanks to his wealth and countless properties, but after running away from the house of a woman who wanted to sleep with him, he really didn't know where to go for a while.

Think of him as a dignified time traveler with cheats, talented, powerful and rich, but in the end, because of a woman, he became a lost dog.

Why is this happening?

He was lost in thought for a moment.

Then he realized again, the key is that he is not pure enough.

He is not a good person, not good enough.

He's not a bad guy, he's not bad enough.

On the one hand, he wanted to enjoy the happiness of the scumbag Neptune.

But at the same time, he wants to enjoy the happiness of being a good man. …

Want both sides, how can this work?

Therefore, it is impossible to step on two boats, you always have to choose one side.

Obviously, to be a good person is too bad for him, just look at the foolishness of a good person, how he is sucked into.

As for being a villain, it looks cool, but it may not end well. Just look at Xu Damao. Few people really like him.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang is still very entangled in what to do.

In fact, he is more inclined to be a scumbag, but it is easier said than done.

How can it be so easy to change the three views and moral concepts formed over decades?

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang still sighed, and subconsciously went to Xihai, where Hao Shuwen lived.

This was indeed a subconscious reaction, because he subconsciously felt that only a mature woman like Hao Shuwen who had also been hurt could soothe his soul.

And Hao Shuwen is also proficient in music, and he also has common hobbies with him, so it is relatively big, so it is best to go there.

So he goes.

When Cao Zhiqiang went to Hao Shuwen's house, Hao Shuwen was going to wash her feet and go to bed.

As a result, seeing Cao Zhiqiang came to the door suddenly, still looking sullen, he really made all kinds of greetings.

As for Cao Zhiqiang, he was also obsessed with ghosts at the time, so he actually told the story with a little deletion.

Well, the meaning of a little deletion is mainly to delete some of Cao Zhiqiang's original thoughts that he couldn't say, but he probably explained the process clearly.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that after what he said, Hao Shuwen would yell at him, calling him a scumbag, and even he was ready to break up with the other party.

But Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help it, and really wanted to find someone to talk to.

But what I didn't expect was that Hao Shuwen, a woman who clearly hated her husband for finding a mistress, actually started to double-standard.

She actually understood Cao Zhiqiang very well, but felt that Cao Zhiqiang was right, and so was Yu Yuanyuan.

When Cao Zhiqiang was dumbfounded, Hao Shuwen actually expressed another opinion.

Hao Shuwen told Cao Zhiqiang at the time that for a woman, normally speaking, of course she hopes to live with only one man for the rest of her life.

But that is just a woman's highest dream, which is often difficult to realize in reality.

Under normal circumstances, women get married to make ends meet, and there is no love at all.

She also said that when she married her current husband, it was a marriage between the two families. The two parties didn't even see each other before, but it was because of the family marriage that they came together.

Originally, she also resigned to her fate. If her husband hadn't gone too far in the end, not only living with Xiaosan openly, but even trying to kick her and marry Xiaosan, she wouldn't be so angry.

In other words, according to Hao Shuwen, women of course hope to grow old with the man they love the most, but most of them can't do it, and most of them can't meet the man they like.

If you can really meet the man you like, even if this man is a bit fickle, and there are even other women.

As long as this man is good enough, so good that he can ignore the shortcomings of the other party, then he is the most suitable man.

Women are not as rational as men. They are actually more emotional and more likely to have the spirit of sacrifice. They are not very possessive as they are often said. …

It is precisely men who are very possessive.

Then Hao Shuwen said that Cao Zhiqiang is young, handsome and rich, he can write poems, sing and play the piano, and he is excellent in every aspect.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang is also very caring, he knows to respect women, and when he is with women, he helps each other sincerely and does not ask for anything in return.

How many women don't love such a good man?
It's fine if you don't meet it, once you meet it, how can you be willing to let go?

For this reason, even if he competes with other women, he will not hesitate.

That's right, according to Hao Shuwen's analysis, the reason why sisters Yu Fangfang and Yu Yuanyuan put forward the idea that two women serve one husband together is because they want to use this method to compete with that Qinghong and compete for him as a good man .

Because if Yu Yuanyuan didn't do this, she wouldn't even have the chance to stay by Cao Zhiqiang's side, so why compete?
But once the idea of ​​two women serving one husband is brought up, there will be a chance to stay by Cao Zhiqiang's side, and he can compete with that Qing Hong in an open and honest manner.

At that time, whoever wins and who loses will depend on their means.

Moreover, even if the last Yu Yuanyuan fails, at least she won't fail completely, and at least she can get half of Cao Zhiqiang, which is worth it.

To put it bluntly, if a woman is willing to give up her self-esteem and be willing to be a man's lover, it must be that this man can bring her what she wants.

What she wants can be money, work, or feelings.

In the final analysis, it was because Cao Zhiqiang was so good and excellent as a man.

For example, she, Hao Shuwen, never thought that she would take the initiative to seduce a man other than her husband. After all, she considers herself a traditional good woman.

But after seeing him Cao Zhiqiang, he was still hopelessly attracted, and then missed him more and more, becoming more and more unable to extricate himself, and finally couldn't help but take the initiative to do that kind of thing, and he was willing to become Cao Zhiqiang's de facto underground lover.

Is she, Hao Shuwen, naturally shameless?
No.

Isn't it because you once had a failed marriage that you especially long for a true love?

He, Cao Zhiqiang, is the man Hao Shuwen really wants. Even if this man is not perfect, he also has many shortcomings, but compared to the advantages, those shortcomings are insignificant.

To put it bluntly, this matter is not that complicated, it is a matter of trade-offs.
