I can't be a cannon fodder

In order for the perfume to be launched before Valentine's Day, Xiao Xingxing was so busy that he couldn't fly.I finally designed the packaging, gifts, and gift boxes of the perfume before the Chinese New Year.

After all, she has been a rich lady for more than ten years, and she is familiar with the preferences of famous ladies. The specially made gift box is packed with platinum packaging and crystal decoration, which meets the needs of some people who only buy expensive things, but not expensive ones.

"Very good!" Lilian praised her after seeing the sample, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it was the work of a new designer."

Huo Zhourong suddenly increased investment in cosmetics, integrated the Lucky Rose company, and asked her to come over, she felt that there was a problem.

And when she came, in Huo Zhourong's conversation with her, he hoped that she could take care of this young and beautiful new designer between the lines.

What else could be the reason why a man takes such care of a woman?

If it was because of Huo Zhourong that she looked at Xiao Xingxing differently before, then in just one month, it was Xiao Xingxing's own ability that made her truly recognize this new generation designer, not the woman the boss liked.

"It's really like what Mark said, you were born to do this." Lilian sighed.

Xiao Xingxing was surprised: "You...know Teacher Mark?"

"What? Is it strange?" Lilian smiled.

Not surprisingly.

Her teacher Mark is very famous in foreign perfume circles, and Lilian is the leader of the fashion industry in Huaguo, so it's strange that they don't know each other.

"So, is it because of Teacher Mark that you take care of me like this?"

Lilian's smile became meaningful: "It's not important. What's important is that I didn't take care of you. You deserve everything. That's right! Huo's annual meeting tonight, do you want to go together?"

"I'm sorry Lilian, I can't go because I have something to do."

Lilian raised her eyebrows: "This is your chance to expand your network."

"I know..." Xiao Xingxing smiled, "But I promised my son that I will stay with him at home during the holidays."

"Are you married?" Lilian was shocked, Mr. Huo was actually interested in a married woman? ?
Xiao Xingxing: "I am a single mother."

Lilian: "..."

When Xiao Xingxing left the office, he didn't see Lilian's complicated eyes.

Lilian felt that it was a pity. She thought that although Xiao Xingxing was not a lady from a famous family, her status in the fashion industry would not be low in the future. If Mr. Huo really liked her, it would not be impossible to marry into a wealthy family.

But now that Xiao Xingxing is carrying an oil bottle, then...

No matter how much Huo Zhourong likes her, it is impossible for her to marry. Ordinary people would think that a second-married woman would have a child. Let alone the background of the Huo family, this road is already blocked...

Before leaving get off work, Xiao Xingxing met with the advertising department, and they wanted to hear her opinion on the perfume spokesperson.Set it up early, and you can announce it immediately when you go to work in the coming year.

"Will you choose among these female stars?" Looking at the photos sent to her, Xiao Xingxing was not surprised to find a very familiar person.

Jiang Luo.

"These few are not suitable for the style of our perfume, you can decide on the others." She put Jiang Luo into the unsuitable list calmly.

In this world, there is no one who can get away without paying the price after hurting others.But there are some people who rely on power and money to walk above the rules.

Xiao Xingxing looked at his palm where the scar could no longer be seen, since there was a chance to return it, why not!
She drove home the new car assigned to her by the company, and as soon as she entered, Zai Zai greeted her with a small lantern.

Xiao Xingxing picked up his son and kissed him: "It's the holiday! Let's go shopping in the supermarket at night!"

Aunt Fang poked her head out of the kitchen with a smile on her face: "The lantern was given by the neighbor, and he also sent couplets and blessings."

"Then let's give some things to others later, we have a lot of New Year's goods!" Xiao Xingxing patted his bag, "I'm the supervisor now, and I'm rich now!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed haha, and Zai Zai patted Xiao Xing Xingxing on the shoulder with his mother's helpless expression on his face: "Then I have to take care of my mother, you women like to buy things randomly."

Xiao Xingxing: →_→

When they came back from the supermarket with big bags and small bags, Xiao Xingxing and Aunt Fang were busy hanging lanterns at home again. This was their first year after returning to China, and everyone felt inexplicably excited and relieved.

On New Year's Eve, Xing Xing and Aunt Fang cooked a table of dishes.Many ingredients that could not be bought abroad or could not be afforded were put on the table today. She even made a cup of Buddha Jumping Wall one day in advance, which is full of real ingredients.

"Congratulations on my promotion and salary increase, and I will buy a big house in the future! Cheers!" The three toasted, Xiao Xingxing added in his heart, asking me to save enough money early, my operation was successful!

Putting down the cup, Zai Zai ran into the room, and then ran out again.

"Mom, New Year's gift." He held up the things in his hand.

A painting made of five grains!

"Zaizai made it himself?" Xiao Xingxing picked it up in surprise, and it was a portrait of her.The hair is black beans, and the mouth is red beans.There are also perfume bottles made of beans of various colors below. She seems to be overlooking these bottles, as if she has conquered them.

"He's been doing it for several days!" Aunt Fang patted Zai Zai's head.

Zai Zai pursed his lips, with a serious face: "In the future, when I make money, I will make you another one with gold."

He even gestured: "It's so big."

"Thank you!" Xiao Xingxing's eyes turned red, and he hugged his son into his arms, "I like it very much, let me see where we can paste the painting? Is it okay behind the sofa?"

This night is the same throughout the present and ancient times, and the sages and fools add one year to each other.I don't know who is secretly setting off fireworks outside the window, and the reflection of the fireworks is shining brightly on the window.Inside the window is a family that has been wandering for a long time and has finally returned to their roots. However, at this moment, no one can imagine that a disaster is about to come quietly... Zhao Xiaoqing is standing under the dilapidated old building, and the lights of Wanjia are shining on her gray and indifferent face.

"Xiao Xingxing, why are you doing this to me? I just changed your file, and it didn't work, so you just let Mr. Huo kill me..."

She submitted a lot of resumes in the past two days, but they were all rejected. At first, she thought it was because the company was not recruiting people because of the Chinese New Year, and she wanted to wait until next year.

Who knows that a classmate who works in a makeup company asked her today if she had offended someone. Some people said that she has a bad character. Now that everyone in the industry knows it, no one will use her.

Zhao Xiaoqing knew that she was completely finished. During Chinese New Year, she was walking alone on the street, and the WeChat group was busily grabbing red envelopes. She also saw them saying that Lucky Rose had a big adjustment and a new perfume director, who was from abroad. The big beauty who came back from studying abroad...

"Hehe...hehe!" She watched those people talking about Xiao Xingxing with envy and jealousy, and walked to an old street without knowing it.

As far as I can remember, Xiao Xingxing's family lives here. Once she came back with Xiao Xingxing to pick up documents, and she waited downstairs for Xiao Xingxing.Zhao Xiaoqing just walked all the way to Xiao Xingxing's community and downstairs to her house.

She couldn't remember which floor Xiao Xingxing's house was on, it seemed to be the second floor or the third floor...

A few children next to them were setting off fireworks, and Zhao Xiaoqing stared blankly.She didn't know what she was doing here, and she screamed in her heart that some kind of hatred had nowhere to vent.

Suddenly, she saw Xiao Xingxing coming out of the corridor, turned around hastily, and retreated into the shadows.

Xiao Xingxing came down to throw out the trash, and didn't notice that someone followed her upstairs.

Zhao Xiaoqing saw Xiao Xingxing enter the room on the left side of the second floor, and she stood at the door for a while, and heard the voices of children and the old man laughing inside.

She turned around and went downstairs step by step, thinking as she walked.

Why!Why did she become the director, and the whole family had New Year's Eve dinner in a warm house.But she couldn't even pay the rent, and no one cared about her life.

"Since this is the case, don't even think about living a good life. I want you to taste what it's like to have nothing!"

When Zhao Xiaoqing walked out of the corridor, the children who set off fireworks had disappeared, and a lighter was thrown on the ground.She walked over to pick it up, pressed lightly, and flames burst out.

Light up her spooky face.

Huo Family Mansion
This is a rare opportunity for Huo Zhourong's family to have a meal at a table. Huo Ming, the old man of the Huo family, is sitting at the first seat, staring at Huo Zhourong.

"Haven't you heard of the Four Laws?" the old man shouted in a Tang suit, looking in good spirits.

Huo Zhourong sat next to him and ate food with a calm expression: "No."

"Yo Ho, I've heard it! I've heard it!" Huo Xingye raised his hand.

"Tell me, Xiaoer." The old man was triumphant as if he had found an ally.

Huo Xingye shook his head and said, "The children are still young, and those who are older for the Chinese New Year are here, and everyone is dead."

"It's New Year's Eve, what nonsense are you talking about!" Huo Hexi could not wait to throw his chopsticks on the son's head, "Who told you to say dead... such unlucky words?"

Huo Xingye yelled: "That, that! Dad just said something, it's the New Year's Eve!"

"Don't be noisy." The old man told his son to shut up, and then corrected his grandson, "One sentence is wrong."

"Which one?"

"It's not that the child is young, it's that the old man is old." Old man Huo said seriously, and then looked at Huo Zhourong, "Did you hear that? The old man wants to eat two pieces of candy when he is old, why can't he?"

Huo Zhourong glanced at him: "Doesn't the law say whether the elderly have diabetes?"

"...Who would say that?"

"Then talk about it now." Huo Zhourong reached out and took out the chocolate that the old man hid in his pocket, "Just got out of the hospital, the old man with diabetes is not eligible to eat candy."

Huo Ming cursed, but was ruthlessly suppressed.

Huo Xingye yelled: "Damn it! Who is so unlucky to be set on fire during the Chinese New Year? What kind of hatred and resentment!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Mengge asked hurriedly as women are the most active about this kind of thing.

It turned out that a piece of social news had just been pushed. Someone set fire to an old community and was caught on the spot, but the fire had already started.

"Look, someone uploaded a video, it burned quite a lot, and I don't know if anyone died..." Huo Xingye showed his phone to his mother.

Huo Zhourong was not interested in these things, but suddenly he heard Bai Mengge say something.

"Tumen District? What kind of crappy name is this?"

Huo Xingye was just about to laugh, but his hands were empty, and he turned around to see that the phone was in his brother's hands.

"elder brother?"

Huo Zhourong ignored him, quickly read the news, and then looked for videos on the Internet.

"Brother, what are you looking for, let me find it for you?" Huo Xingye leaned closer.

Huo Zhourong pushed the chair away, turned around and left.

"No... Brother, why are you going?"

Huo Ming stopped making trouble, and saw his eldest grandson pick up his coat and go out: "What is he doing?"

"I don't know..." Huo Xingye stood up and chased after him, "Brother, where are you going? You gave me my phone..."

He chased to the door and found his mobile phone was left alone on the window sill, and Huo Zhourong's car lights flashed a few times outside and drove out of the old house.

Xiao Xingxing hugged Zai Zai, staring blankly at the burning building, the ear-piercing sound of an ambulance.Also, the fire brigade kept yelling people not to approach, and some people were constantly being carried out and sent to ambulances.

"Mom." Zai Zai raised his head from her arms.

Xiao Xingxing looked down at his son and sobbed.

"Zai Zai, our house is gone, our home is gone..."

Zai Zai hugged her neck, and the mother and son stood in the crowd dependent on each other.

Half an hour ago, she had just fallen asleep when she heard someone banging on the door hard.Xiao Xingxing sat up in a daze, and finally heard someone outside shout yes.

"Wake up inside! It's on fire! It's on fire!"

She woke up suddenly, picked up Zai Zai in fear, and went to the next door to call Aunt Fang.As soon as I went out, I saw Aunt Fang running out, and she was also panicked.

The living room was full of smoke, and someone was banging on the door outside.

Xiao Xingxing put the cubs in Aunt Fang's arms and pushed them into the small balcony, then ran to the door to open it.

As soon as her hand grabbed the handle of the anti-theft door, she screamed. Xiao Xingxing endured the pain, pulled off the sofa towel next to him, hugged his hand, and went to open the door, but he couldn't open it no matter what.

"Jump out of the window!" Someone yelled outside, "Your door has been burnt out of shape and cannot be opened."

Xiao Xingxing threw down the sofa towel and ran into the balcony. Fortunately, it was the third floor. Aunt Fang had already put Zai Zai down with her usual grocery shopping basket, and a middle-aged man caught Zai Zai below.

There were many people downstairs, and the sound of fire trucks could be heard in the distance.

"Can you dance?" the neighbor below shouted.

Someone brought a broken mattress and told them to jump off.

"Aunt Fang, you jump first!" Xiao Xingxing helped Aunt Fang onto the window sill, but Aunt Fang was trembling all over, but still gritted her teeth and jumped down.

Xiao Xingxing looked back, the fire had already reached the living room, she gritted her teeth and ran back to wrap herself up to her neck, then ran into the bedroom, quickly stuffed a few things into the bag, and then ran back to the balcony to close it Eyes jumped down.

After the fire truck arrived, they began to put out the fire. They found that the source of the fire was in front of Xiao Xingxing's house, and at a glance they judged that someone maliciously set the fire.

Because it is an old building, the lines are aging.The fire directly burned the first and third floors, and if it hadn't been extinguished in time, the whole building would be on fire.

When the fire was extinguished, the security guards of the community caught Zhao Xiaoqing according to the monitoring, and they called the police. After the police arrived, they handcuffed Zhao Xiaoqing in the car and asked Xiao Xingxing for questioning.

"Zhao Xiaoqing?" Xiao Xingxing hugged Zai Zai tightly, "Did she set the fire?"

"She was in the car, and the community surveillance filmed that she entered your unit on fire, and came out a few minutes later, and then caught fire." The policeman asked her, "Do you know her, what is the relationship between you two?"

"Talk to the lawyer if you have anything to do." A voice interjected.

Xiao Xingxing raised his head in panic, and saw Huo Zhourong walking from the crowd and walking up to her.

It is a feeling that cannot be described in words, as if someone shines a light on you when you are in the dark and don't know how to move forward.

Xiao Xingxing felt that there was a chasing light on Huo Zhourong at this time.
