Chapter 310 Price
Dinner at the rental house in the evening.

Originally, according to the plan, Zhong Xiaoqin could already be taken down by this time.

It's a pity that now that Wang Manni is a big light bulb, Meng Donglai has no choice but to take it slow.

After the meal, Meng Donglai was politely invited out. The two had a busy day and needed to take a good bath.

And Meng Donglai, who was teased, could only go to the bar to find a target to relax for a while.

The next day, I drove over early, went upstairs and knocked on the door. It was Zhong Xiaoqin who opened the door. She was obviously not up yet, and she was wearing pajamas.

"Come in and sit down, I'll wake Manny up."

"it is good."

A few minutes later, Wang Manni ran out wearing a low-necked suspender pajamas, and sat directly next to Meng Donglai.

"Are you up so early?"

As he spoke, he was about to hug Meng Donglai's arm, but Meng Donglai got up and dodged it.

"It's getting late. I ran five kilometers after I got up, and I ate breakfast. You two haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Wang Manni pouted, and muttered in a low voice: "Man is so manly." Then she turned and went to the toilet.

"I ate too much last night. I'll just go out and heat some milk later." Zhong Xiaoqin replied.

"Drinking milk on an empty stomach is easy to increase the burden on the stomach, and the absorption is not good. Let me give you some simple homework."

Meng Donglai walked into the kitchen, looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, and started to operate.

Zhong Xiaoqin leaned against the kitchen door frame, staring straight at Meng Donglai busy inside, bewildered.She didn't even notice Wang Manni came out of the toilet.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Manni quietly walked behind Zhong Xiaoqin and asked suddenly.

"Yeah." Zhong Xiaoqin was taken aback.

"Attractive, handsome and caring." Wang Manni asked, looking at Meng Donglai in the kitchen.

"Yeah, what an attractive man, but some people are blind." Zhong Xiaoqin choked on her, and then went to wash up.

"Xiaoqin, we're still good friends if you don't mention this." Wang Manni walked away.

After more than an hour, the two finally finished packing, had a hasty breakfast, and then went downstairs.

Seeing the exquisite attire of the two of them, those who didn't know thought they were going on an outing. Who would have thought that they were planning to do charity.

"Change to flat shoes." Meng Donglai stopped Wang Manni from wearing high heels: "I'm going to practice driving later."

"Oh."

By the time they drove to the home for stray animals on the outskirts of the city, it was past eleven o'clock, and it was almost time for lunch.

"Pikachu, I miss you so much." Zhong Xiaoqin went straight to her beloved cat after entering the door.

Wang Manni observed this "pet shop".

In her perception, this is a pet shop.

The Animal House has been remodeled and expanded during this period. There are not many pets left in it, only more than 30, but the number of pets under management has exceeded [-].

Such a huge number of management forces the Animal House to set up treatment, beauty and other projects, which are compatible with the functions of some pet hospitals.

At the same time, the number of staff at the animal shelter has also increased to six.

"Where's your little girl?" Wang Manni walked to Meng Donglai and asked.

"Why, do you want to see her? I'll call and ask her to come over." Meng Donglai directly blocked Wang Manni's teasing.

However, this move did not deter her.

"You fight, whoever is afraid of whom."

"Tch, you don't think it's troublesome, but I don't think it's troublesome."

Ignore him and continue to look at the work records of the Animal House during this period.

Now all the employees of the Animal House are equipped with public mobile phones, and there is a multi-functional APP in it to cooperate with the work, so the work records are all in electronic version. Meng Donglai uses a notebook to flip through it very quickly, and he can read it in ten minutes. .

From the records, it can be seen that the business of this animal shelter has reached a bottleneck. If it wants to continue to develop, it must either open a branch or contact the official to receive more stray animals from them.

However, Meng Donglai didn't know how to choose either of these two items. It was enough to have this store to maintain his personality. He didn't want to make this business bigger and stronger.

"How much do you have to invest in this store every month?" Wang Manni asked.

"Not much, now the expenditure and income here are basically the same." Meng Dong said back and forth.

Wang Manni continued to ask curiously:

"You are so rich, why do you do this?"

"Public welfare!"

"But, isn't it better to do charity for people?" Wang Manni asked.

"People are too complicated." Meng Donglai shook his head.

Meng Donglai has always had a point of view that the biggest body of public welfare should be the government, so that everyone can support themselves and not become poor due to illness, marriage or any other reason. This is the most fundamental public welfare.

I can't do this in my private capacity. The effect of spreading money is too bad. It's better to create more jobs.

Just like this Animal House, six jobs have been added out of thin air. The wages of these six employees are above the average level, which is equivalent to "public welfare" for six families.

"Donglai, can we have a good chat?" Wang Manni suddenly changed the subject, and her expression became serious.

"of course."

Meng Donglai saw that Zhong Xiaoqin was playing like crazy, she really likes small animals, this place can be said to be her paradise.

"I want to know, do I still have a chance to win your forgiveness?" Wang Manni asked.

"What happens after forgiveness?" Meng Donglai asked.

Wang Manni hasn't thought about this problem yet.

Yeah, what about after forgiveness?Together again, like before?is it possible?
The broken mirror is reunited, but the gap is always there.

"Then it's impossible?" Wang Manni was a little frustrated.

"Can't say that either."

"What do you mean?"

"I told you before, you should really know your own heart." Meng Dong said back and forth: "I still say the same thing now, you should first figure out what you really want, and you asked me to forgive your purpose What is it?"

"Pursue peace of mind? Or other reasons?"

"If you're looking for peace of mind, I can tell you now that it's completely unnecessary. I was really angry about your previous behavior, but it's over now, and it has no effect on me at all. You don't have to feel guilty at all. Category."

After listening to Meng Dong's words, Wang Manni was also a little confused.

What exactly does she want?
Why on earth did she worry about whether Meng Donglai forgave herself?
"I like you and I want to be with you." Wang Manni began to face her heart.

"Hehe." Meng Donglai sneered slightly.

"Really, I didn't understand why Jiao Jiao was so persistent before, but now I understand her a little bit. The feeling of not being able to love is really tormenting." Wang Manni explained.

"I want to ask you a question. Suppose I have nothing but this stray animal shelter and I can't make ends meet. Would you still be so persistent? For love." Meng Donglai asked.

This question was like a knife, cutting through Wang Manni's last self-deception.

"No, I didn't do it for money, otherwise I could have left with Liang Zhengxian at that time. I really realized that I missed the right person and wanted to save him." Wang Manni didn't know that she was referring to Meng Dong with her words. Explain, or explain to herself.

"I'll show you something."

Meng Donglai took out his mobile phone, opened an unfamiliar app, clicked a few times in it, and connected a video call.

It was night on the opposite side of the video, but there were quite a few people on the street, and the buildings on both sides of the street were all brightly lit, making them very bustling.

"Where is this?"

"Las Vegas." Meng Dong said back and forth.

"Why are you watching this?"

"You keep watching."

The person on the other side of the video began to move, holding the device across the road to the opposite side of the street, and then continued walking forward for two or three minutes until he came to an intersection.

Then Wang Manni saw him walk into an underground passage, and came to the middle of the underground passage. The camera was aimed at a homeless man lying on the ground.

The homeless man was lying on the cardboard, covered with a dirty quilt, covering his head, leaving only his hair outside. It could be vaguely judged to be a man.

"This is?" Wang Manni asked, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Wake him up." Meng Donglai ordered.

The person on the other side of the video immediately went into action.

First, he kicked the homeless man with his feet. Seeing that he didn't move, he stepped forward and lifted his quilt.

Under the quilt was a yellow man with a red face. Looking at his dazed appearance and the wine bottle still in his hand, he could tell that this guy was drunk.

Not only was he drunk, but he might have vomited, because there was still some vomit residue on his clothes that had dried.At the same time, there are some marks on the corner of the mouth.

His face was dirty, and his hair, which had not been taken care of for a long time, was spread over his face, covering half of his face.

Although he had become so sloppy, Wang Manni recognized him at first sight.

"Liang Zhengxian!?"

The voice was a bit loud, which directly attracted Zhong Xiaoqin.

"what?"

After walking over, I also saw the homeless man in the video.

"Where is Liang Zhengxian?"

In Zhong Xiaoqin's conception, Liang Zhengxian was still that ruffian, greasy man with hair oil on his head, and big back hair. He didn't realize that this homeless man was Liang Zhengxian at all.

"He, how could it be?" Wang Manni couldn't believe it.

"Gambling lost everything, and the family business went bankrupt." Meng Donglai simply replied.

Wang Manni looked at Meng Donglai in horror.

"It's you?"

"Everyone should be responsible for their actions." Meng Dong replied back and forth.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoqin also saw a trace of Liang Zhengxian's shadow from the brow of the homeless man. She couldn't believe that this was the high-spirited man before, the man who fascinated Wang Manni.

"The price is too high." Wang Manni didn't know what to say, and there was a feeling of sadness in her heart.

"Is it big? Compared with what he did before, and the women and women's families, boyfriends, and husbands he hurt, which one is not the collapse of the world? For him now, it is just the collapse of the world." Meng Donglai laughed. Said: "Don't look at his current appearance. In fact, he has sound limbs, a normal mind, and all the knowledge and experience in his mind. He can rely on these to exchange for a well-paid job to maintain his life, but he chose this kind of Life, no wonder others."

This is too pretentious.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Liang Zhengxian grew up rich and well-clothed, and suddenly went bankrupt until his pockets were empty. If it were someone else, he was not the kind of person who had experienced hardships. It would be difficult to accept it smoothly, and there is a high probability that he would be abolished.

"Wang Manni, you just said that you could choose to go with Liang Zhengxian at that time. Now it seems that you should be glad that you didn't go with him. And you have to be thankful that I saved you in time, otherwise wait until you really fall in love with him, and then go Tired of being dumped by him, and even let her girlfriend come to her, ruining her reputation, she can only leave Shanghai in embarrassment, at that time, it will not be him, but you who will collapse the world." Meng Donglai said.

Wang Manni sat there stunned and listened. She was probably stimulated. She covered her face with her hands and choked:

"why why…,"

"Manni." Zhong Xiaoqin stepped forward to hug Wang Manni and glared at Meng Donglai.

"Don't blame me, Manny must realize her problem, otherwise it will only delay her in the end." Meng Donglai shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's not that serious, Manni is so capable, she has a good job and a high income, so she won't delay." Zhong Xiaoqin argued.

"Really? She is currently working as a sales supervisor, and she is 30 years old this year. The luxury sales industry is a youth meal. After 35, it will basically not be popular, and the energy will not keep up. At that time, she will have to climb up to the management team. Or just switch jobs."

"If you want to climb up, there are two hurdles, the deputy store manager and the store, and then you can reach the middle level, but the company she is currently working for is a foreign company, which instinctively rejects Chinese people. Most of the middle and high levels are foreigners. The natural bottleneck will basically block her."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that she is not married yet and will get married and have children at any time. The company will definitely consider this risk."

"Don't think she is still prosperous now. In fact, if you are not careful, a mid-life crisis will hit you." Meng Donglai said alarmingly.

When he watched the TV series "Thirty Only", what bothered him the most was not the protagonists and supporting roles in it, but the consumption concept and values ​​conveyed by this TV series.

If all women lived like the three of them, then this society would be too tragic.

"It's not that serious." Zhong Xiaoqin was not frightened: "As long as Manny finds a good partner, these problems will not be a problem."

"What you said essentially denies Manny's own value." Meng Donglai said.

"I can't tell you."

Zhong Xiaoqin was no longer arguing with Meng Donglai, but turned to comfort Wang Manni.

"Mannie, don't think too much. This guy is just jealous. Liang Zhengxian deserves to be punished by him. Don't take the blame on yourself."

As expected of a best friend, right and wrong are irrelevant.

"Xiaoqin, I'm fine. You can go play. I want to talk to Donglai alone." Wang Manni finally came back to her senses.

"Okay." Zhong Xiaoqin turned around and told Meng Donglai: "Don't bully her, she is already pitiful enough."

Meng Donglai was amused by her nasty and nasty expression, but he was OK with the comparison.

"I figured it out." After Zhong Xiaoqin walked away, Wang Manni said, "You actually did all this to let me admit that I just love money."

"I abandoned you and chose Liang Zhengxian because of money, and then I chose to abandon him because I knew you were rich, and I turned around and chased you because of money, right?"

"Isn't it?" Meng Donglai asked back.

"I don't know." Wang Manni shook her head, this answer subverted her definition of herself too much.

The final damage caused by the subversion of a person's three views will be catastrophic.

And Wang Manni is now experiencing the process of subverting her values.

"Will you be a rich lover?" Meng Donglai asked.

"No, it's impossible." Wang Manni firmly denied it without any hesitation.

The man who spent more than 100 million casually in the store asked her out, but she refused directly, and finally thought that the receipt he threw away almost lost her job.

"Okay." Meng Donglai grinned.

"Now let me tell you, I will buy you a house in the center of Shanghai, more than [-] square meters, and let you be my lover, will you?"

"For you?" Wang Manni did not immediately refuse this time.

"Yes, give it to me, the time is up to you, it can be one day, one month, or one year." Meng Dong replied.

"If I want to be your lover, I don't need to give money." Wang Manni replied.

"It's not what you think. I'm married and you are my lover." Meng Donglai added.
