What do you want in life

Chapter 4 You entered my sky again (4)
After having money, Liu Juan became more generous to Xiaoying, and would often buy her some beautiful clothes. Although Xiaoying didn't dare to wear those styles, since they were given by her aunt, she had no choice but to keep them. In order not to brush off the other party's kindness.Even when she had nowhere to go when she was looking for a job, Liu Juan helped to open the back door for her to join this more formal company.

Xiaoying understood that more than half of the reason why her aunt cared about her so much was because of Xiaoyu.

When his uncle and aunt divorced, Xiaoyu was only 17 years old and a sophomore in high school. Before that, his grades had always been good, at least better than Xiaoying's, but his parents' divorce over their son completely spoiled him.

At that time, the stronger uncle finally won the son, but within a year, the uncle remarried, and Xiaoyu couldn't get along with his stepmother. After many quarrels, the uncle was exhausted from reconciliation, and he was reluctant to return the ready-made son to his ex-wife. Contradictions and entanglements continue to entangle, but the final result is that Xiaoyu gets into bad ways. He doesn't go home for three days and two nights, doesn't take classes well, hangs out in the game room all day with a group of social youths, and doesn't give up on his parents.

Liu Juan, who was relieved from the business field, realized the serious consequences before it was too late. She screamed and scolded her ex-husband for failing to discipline her, but it was of no use.

Although Xiaoyu disdains his parents, he still approves of Xiaoying as a sister. He never calls his parents, and always only calls Xiaoying, and he refuses to answer calls from his parents easily. .Recently, I formed a band together with others, and went to various bars to perform, which made it even more tricky.Liu Juan had no choice but to inquire about her son indirectly from Xiaoying.

Although Xiaoying sympathized with her aunt, she was unwilling to go against her younger brother's wishes and sell information to her aunt. Of course, Liu Juan also expressed her understanding. As long as this kind of thing happened once, Xiaoyu would probably never contact Xiaoying again. The whereabouts are even more unpredictable.

The current Liu Juan can only be thankful that she agreed to take Xiaoying in at the beginning, so that she would not be so close to her son today.

Back then, when Xiaoying and Xiaoyu were under the same roof, they hugged each other and hid in the room, listening to the two adults abuse each other with thunderous voices and vicious words with frowning faces.

Once, Xiaoyu was so annoyed that she suddenly said to Xiaoying: "Sister, I really envy you. Some people are here to listen to their nonsense. It's better to be like you, without parents and mothers."

Xiaoying was surprised when she heard this, and couldn't understand where Xiaoyu's resentment came from, until one day, she accidentally saw Xiaoyu with blue and white tattoos on his arm in a certain entertainment place, and hugged Xiaoyu. She only vaguely understood Xiaoyu's distress when seeing a little girl about his age frolicking wildly.

So, compared with her younger brother, is she really lucky?

Xiaoying could only smile wryly. She couldn't forget that when her mother was dying, she held her hand in front of the couch and told her tremblingly in a voice that even she couldn't hear clearly, "I'm sorry... from now on, you... have to rely on... ...by myself..."

That year, she was less than 10 years old.

From the moment her mother closed her eyes, she realized very clearly that she has become a leaf of duckweed in this world, floating wherever she goes, she can't rely on anyone, she can only rely on herself.

Since then, she has buried everything in her heart, not sharing it with others, and refusing others to walk in.

Xiaoying didn't sleep well all night, and when she went to work the next day, she couldn't lift her eyelids, and she looked sluggish, Guo Jia scolded her, "What's wrong with you, after resting at home for a day, you don't feel as energetic as going to work every day. Didn't you do anything bad at night, such as put on night clothes, go out to rob houses or something?"

"What are you talking about!" Xiaoying was annoyed by her, "You're only wearing night clothes! It's my younger brother. I don't know why he fought with someone. He got injured all over and was arrested in the police station." , I was busy making bail for him yesterday afternoon, and I had to accompany him to the hospital for bandage treatment in the evening, and I didn’t come back until late.”

Guo Jia's eyes widened, "Is that your younger brother who sings rock?"

"He doesn't sing rock, but pop." Xiaoying had to correct her again, every time Xiaoyu was mentioned, Guo Jia would always say this.

"I've always wanted to hear how he sings. Hey, which bar is he stationed in? Tell me, I can go there if I find time!" Guo Jia looked very interested.

"Forget it, my brother doesn't like acquaintances to watch."

"I don't know him, so I'm not an acquaintance. I'm just curious. I don't usually have the chance to meet people in that circle."

Xiaoying looked at her helplessly, "Can you stop being so curious, curiosity sometimes kills people."

"Scared! Stop cursing me. My curiosity is within the limits of reason. It's harmless. Do you understand?"

The two talked for a long time, but Xiaoying didn't tell Guo Jia the name of the bar where Xiaoyu haunted. In fact, she didn't know how she sang in the bar, because she had never heard of it——Xiaoyu wouldn't let her Go, he said that if he knew she was there, he would feel unnatural and affect his normal performance.

Xiaoying didn't want to go either, she knew that the circle he was in was very chaotic, if she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't drag him out, it would only add to her sense of powerlessness.

It is better for everyone to control his own destiny. The young child has nothing left, and he cannot be deprived of his freedom.This is the conclusion that Xiaoying came to a long time ago, so she and Xiaoyu have been able to coexist harmoniously like two parallel lines until now.

"Hey, by the way, how did you send Mr. Zheng back that night? Why didn't I hear you talk about it?" Xiaoying cleverly moved the topic aside to prevent Guo Jia from boring around her brother again.

Guo Jia was woken up, and immediately beamed with joy, "Yeah, I forgot to tell you, this is the first time I've seen Mr. Zheng lose his composure."

As soon as the words came out, she immediately glanced around, and her voice dropped suddenly, "Think about how serious and serious Mr. Zheng is usually, but that night, he was crying and laughing, talking nonsense , I didn’t dare to laugh, so I could only endure it desperately.”

Xiaoying shook her head, "It's really hard for you, Chuchu shouldn't ask you for help."

Guo Jia made a mischievous grimace, "Chu Chu didn't smile, I think her heart was so heavy at that time! Hey, being a secretary is not the same as being a young man. I heard from Chu Chu," she said He lowered his voice, "Mr. Zheng left very unhappy this time, it seems that he was kicked out because he said something wrong on some occasion, or he was charged with an unfounded crime. It is said that Mr. Shen is suspicious by nature. .”

"No way?" Xiaoying was very surprised, "Boss Zheng has been managing Nanxiang for six or seven years, how could he be sacked because of one sentence? Who wouldn't say a few wrong words, if they were driven away because of this, Is there anyone left in the company?"

"That's the reason, so Mr. Zheng's wrong sentence must be very important. It might be fatal. Unfortunately, Chu Chu doesn't know what he said."

Xiaoying still didn't understand, "If they really left because they said something wrong, wouldn't they be afraid that Mr. Zheng would go out and talk more unscrupulously?"

"Well!" Guo Jia blinked, "Boss Zheng is an honest gentleman after all, he shouldn't be so despicable, besides, if he intends to take revenge, he can use this matter to blackmail Chairman Shen! It can be seen that those who read too much There is still a difference between a person and a villain.”

Xiaoying thought about Zheng Zong's usual behavior, but she really couldn't imagine what kind of face he would be like when he was a villain.

"Chuchu also said that the new Mr. Shen just returned to China last year. With so many factories in the Shen family, he didn't have to come to Nanxiang originally. He was arranged to come here to exercise just because Mr. Zheng was leaving. Probably Mr. Shen It won't last long in Nanxiang, and when Chairman Shen retires in the future, all the properties of the Shen family will belong to him, what a hot diamond! Sigh, I don't know if he has a girlfriend yet?"

Xiaoying was about to reprimand her for being an idiot again, when a sullen voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't talk about right and wrong behind your back, be careful and walk around."

Without looking back, they also knew that the voice belonged to Jiang Fang, the boss of the warehouse, and he was used to doing such elusive tricks.

The two buried their heads and did not speak, and each started to do things seriously.

Jiang Fang looked at Xiaoying's lowered eyelids, her thick eyelashes trembling, pressed against that petite and fair melon-seeded face, no matter how comfortable it looked, he cleared his throat, "Han Xiaoying, come to my place."

Xiaoying was startled, and raised her head to glance at Jiang Fang. He had a serious expression on his face, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, which made people feel uneasy.

As soon as Jiang Fang finished speaking, he walked towards his seat, took a few steps, and did not forget to turn around and urge her, "Hurry up!"

Xiaoying had no choice but to put down her work and follow him. Even Guo Jia peeked back in disgust and curiosity, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Fang's gourd.

Jiang Fang's seat was not far from them, and his voice was so shrill that basically the entire office area could be heard clearly as long as he spoke with a normal voice.

After Xiaoying took her seat, she was confused and frightened.

Although Jiang Fang has always been her superior, he rarely came down to the warehouse when he was in the administrative hall, and his relationship with his subordinates was also mediocre. For business matters, he always asked the little bosses in charge of different fields to go to the administrative hall regularly Report to him, never ask the details personally, and have never had any big troubles over the years.

Everyone is used to this remote management mode.This time he was demoted for no reason, not only he himself was resentful, but even a group of his subordinates also complained about Shen Juncheng - the situation that the well water does not interfere with the river water has been messed up like this.

Jiang Fang, who moved into the warehouse, can't get involved in specific affairs, and can't idle around all day long. All his skills are devoted to how to deal with office politics. Now he is suddenly separated from that complicated environment, so lonely. die.

Since idleness is idleness, let's take care of your subordinates.Therefore, finding people to talk to every now and then became his main job, but basically all the people he approached made mistakes and were punished.

At the beginning, Xiaoying also thought that Jiang Fang had caught her in some wrong place, so he wanted to talk to herself, but Jiang Fang asked her about her general experience after entering Nanxiang in a pleasant manner as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xiaoying thought to herself, instead of playing hide-and-seek with him, it would be easier to get scolded by him for some problem and leave cleanly!
Moreover, I don't know if she is too sensitive, but she always feels that the way he stares at her is getting more and more wrong, which makes her feel furious.

"How old is Xiao Han?" Jiang Fang, who was crossing his feet, suddenly changed the subject and began to care about her personal issues.

Xiaoying pursed her lips, and although she was reluctant, she answered him in a low voice, "24."

"Hey, I'm only 24 years old, so young!" Jiang Fang actually put on a kindly smiling face and chatted with her. Even Guo Jia, who was eavesdropping from a distance, felt that he was about to faint, and at the same time, he vaguely noticed Jiang Fang His wily plan made him feel a little depressed.

"Do you have a boyfriend yet?"

"Eh? I..." Xiaoying was a little embarrassed. She really didn't know how to answer this question.

"Yes!" Guo Jia couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, and interrupted with a raised voice, "It's our company, Li Zhen from the engineering department."

Xiaoying's face turned red immediately, but she didn't jump up to refute Guo Jia, she just bit her lip and said nothing.

Jiang Fang's face darkened, and he scolded Guo Jia in dissatisfaction, "I didn't ask you again, so do your job!"

After finishing speaking, he looked down at Xiaoying's dissatisfied expression again, and asked for confirmation a little bit unwillingly, "Is it true? Haven't you heard of it!"

Lao Yang just passed by them, and interjected with a smile, "Manager Jiang, didn't you see Li Zhen running to our warehouse every three days! He doesn't have to come to get a small tool, of course he has one." Intentionally, you should watch carefully later, haha!"

Jiang Fang felt resentful when he heard it, and said sourly: "I can't see that Li Zhen is usually quiet, but his idea came to my warehouse. When should I let him invite a guest!"

The conversation ended inexplicably.

Xiaoying returned to her seat, and Jiang Fang also quickly walked past her and headed out the door.

Seeing that his shadow had completely disappeared, Xiaoying tugged at Guo Jia's uniform sleeve, and said in a low voice, "What nonsense were you talking about just now! Who is really boyfriend and girlfriend with Li Zhen?"

Guo Jia stared at her, "Are you stupid? I'm saving you. You can't tell! You don't know that Jiang Fang is a famous pervert. He used to have sex with people in the administrative hall. If it wasn't for Zhou Pengyang covering him, a bastard like him could stay in the company for four or five years?"

"I know you're doing it for my own good." Xiaoying pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Or else I didn't deny what you said just now!"

Guo Jia frowned and said, "I think you'd better be careful, this Jiang seems to be trying to trick you."

Xiaoying thought of his pair of gloomy eyes, and felt a little guilty, so she just nodded and said nothing.

At noon, when Xiaoying went to the restaurant alone for lunch, she received a call from her aunt, who asked her eagerly how Xiaoyu’s injury was, “Why didn’t you tell me yesterday? His father called me today and said he had disturbed the police again.” I just found out when I went there."

"Xiaoyu won't let me tell you." Xiaoying could only explain to her slowly, "Auntie, don't worry, he just suffered a little skin trauma, and he will be fine after two days of care."

"Can I not be in a hurry!" Probably because she was too worried about her son, Liu Juan's tone became a little rushed again, "I only have one son like this, and your shameless uncle still has to fight with me, and won't you win the custody right?" Discipline him well and see what Xiaoyu is like now?" His voice choked up as he spoke.

Xiaoying sighed in her heart, and could only choose nice words to comfort Liu Juan. She also felt a little annoyed. No wonder Xiaoyu avoided the parents of the enemy all day long, and would pinch each other when she was excited.

Nanxiang's restaurant is not small in size, but the decoration is simple, and there is no VIP area that separates the management from other companies. All employees are treated equally, and they all eat in the same lobby.

It is said that Zheng is always a scholar, and he has always been generous in places where equality can be reflected, although many things cannot be done by him alone.Thinking of his madness on the night before leaving and the scene of the managers eagerly showing their affection to the new general manager, Xiaoying also felt desolate for him. Things in the world must have always been like this.

She sat in the corner of the restaurant and ate silently, surrounded by colleagues chatting together, which made her look very lonely.

The warehouse is a rather special department. It is huddled in the darkest area of ​​the whole factory. The employees are also self-contained. They go around in the warehouse all day long, sending and receiving goods, and there is no need to go out to have too much contact with people. Xiaoying always feels that This position suits her personality quite well. In her heart, she has a strong sense of repulsion towards those hustle and bustle.

So after two years, she has no friends in Nanxiang, except Guo Jia who gets along day and night.

A few girls at the next table were talking about Shen Juncheng wantonly.

"Yesterday I saw him in the third line, with that handsome guy Xia Bin in the third line. When I passed by him, I boldly called him, and he nodded and smiled at me!"

Employees can often catch the handsome new general manager in the workshop. Xiaoying also saw Shen Juncheng several times when she walked through the production line. As if completely sunk in, that focused look is easy to fascinate.

There are several workshops in Nanxiang where most of the workers are female workers. Among them there are many young, beautiful and daring ones. There are not a few of them who used excuses to get close to each other. Anyway, even if he found out, he would not accuse the other party of anything.Over time, everyone has a certain understanding of Shen Juncheng's temper - he has always been very friendly to ordinary employees.

"Look how beautiful you are!" A girl next to her smiled and pointed at her, "I don't think you should use Boss Shen as a cover, you must be going to see Brother Zhu again, right?"

Before the long-haired girl who had spoken earlier could argue, another girl with a pretty face curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Can Brother Zhu compare with Boss Shen? They're like heaven and earth!"

The long-haired girl obviously liked Xia Bin, and she was very upset when she heard the comparison made by her companion, and the expression on her face turned cold instantly.

Her companion watched her words and immediately hit the pretty girl, "Xiao Zhou, don't be so loud. Even if they are really one-on-one, it would be great if we could find an engineer like Xia Bin as a boyfriend. Worst of all I am afraid that I will find someone who is similar to me, and I will be exhausted from working all day, and I won’t be able to earn a lot of money!”

Xiao Zhou was not to be outdone, "What's wrong with us like this? Could it be that the operator has never had a bright future? I don't believe this evil! Opportunities are created by people!"

"That's all right! We'll just wait and see how you create opportunities!" The companions shouted half jokingly and half booing.

"That's right, maybe we can't, Xiao Zhou, you are so beautiful, there is a high probability that you can succeed, or else opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!"

Xiaoying didn't turn her head away, and saw that the beautiful girl named Xiao Zhou was scolding her companions for fooling around, but she couldn't hide a trace of excitement on her face.

Xiaoying suppressed her temper and continued to nibble at the food on her plate. No matter what, she had to fill her stomach, otherwise she would be hungry in the afternoon. Now Jiang Fang came, and the discipline was extremely strict, even eating a few snacks casually They are not allowed, saying that they will attract mice.

After finishing most of it with difficulty, and feeling full in her stomach, she disposed of the plate and walked out of the restaurant.

After leaving the building, she was about to go to the warehouse in the annex building when she suddenly remembered that when the administrative department hurried to pick up the things in the morning, there was no department manager's signature on the list, and she agreed to take it back to make up. The girl in charge of the order told Xiaoying Remember to ask them after dinner, so as not to run back and forth, Xiaoying had to turn around and go back the same way.

She went up to the second floor from the safety staircase at the side door. The administration department was located at the innermost part of the hall, on a diagonal line with the staircase entrance. She had to go along the curved corridor instead of crossing it.
