I heard you are a junior

Liu Jinya thought that Zhong Yuxiao would refuse, and felt that even if she heard the word "no", she would be able to calm down. After all, this time is about work and future, not a major event that feelings can casually affect.However, she overestimated her ability to bear, and felt that Zhong Yuxiao's answer in a cold and impatient tone without hesitation was too ruthless, making the words "no" sharp and harsh.

Why not be gentle, why do you dislike her so much?

Liu Jinya didn't dare to ask why, and depressedly squeezed out the word "oh" to answer, bowed her head and grabbed the bag belt with her hands.

Zhong Yuxiao was driving, and she had no time to comfort her, and she had a proud temper. She was suddenly pointed out by another person to interfere with her decision, and she was also not very happy. The way to deceive people is to concentrate on driving and talk about it later.

They were too anxious to get into the car, and did not turn on the radio and navigation. The car was quiet and only the whistle and engine roar could be heard outside.

Looking at the passers-by outside, Liu Jinya gradually calmed down, and sighed faintly—she thought she had matured a bit after work, but she never expected that she would still be so emotional and unreasonable when encountering major events, and suddenly made Zhong Yuxiao change for her own feelings. plan.

Feeling regretful, she furtively glanced at the people around her.

Zhong Yuxiao pursed her lips tightly, looking unhappy at all.

Liu Jinya hesitated, didn't know how to speak for a while, and silently pretended to be playing with her mobile phone, but actually didn't see what was on the screen at all.

When they arrived at the parking lot of the restaurant, Zhong Yuxiao finally said, "Get out of the car."

Command-style, quite fierce.

Liu Jinya shivered in fright, got out of the car obediently, and closed the door a little harder, the loud bang even made the parking lot staff take a look.

Originally standing by the car waiting, Zhong Yuxiao saw her like this, misunderstood the meaning, frowned and walked away first.

"Oh." Liu Jinya checked to make sure the car was fine, and hurried to keep up.

There were very few people in the restaurant, but Zhong Yuxiao didn't like the lobby, so he asked the waiter to take him to the box.Liu Jinya has been used to being frugal since her mother was ill, and she couldn't help but feel a pity when she saw the two of them sitting at the huge box table, still sitting far away.

When the menu came up, Liu Jinya didn't read the whole thing, so Zhong Yuxiao started to order.

For the two of them, Zhong Yuxiao ordered six dishes and one soup at once, then picked up his mobile phone to watch, and whispered to the waiter, "Ask her what she wants."

The waiter walked around half of the tables, "What do you want?"

"No need, that's all."

Liu Jinya closed the menu and handed it back with both hands. Seeing Zhong Yuxiao who was unwilling to give it out of the corner of her eye was even more uncomfortable. She touched the newly filled teacup and wondered what to do.Until the temperature of the cup wall turned from hot to warm, she didn't think about it, so she just bit the bullet and said directly, "Don't be angry, I'm just talking, I didn't want to really stop you from resigning."

Zhong Yuxiao raised her eyes and slowly put down her phone, "You are the one who is angry."

"I didn't! You urged me too fast, so I accidentally closed the car door with too much force." Liu Jinya hurriedly explained the act of slamming the car door,

"I'm talking about resignation." Zhong Yuxiao didn't intend to entangle her with small details, and directly talked about the key point, "You are unhappy."

Being told off, Liu Jinya bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Compared with Zhong Yuxiao, she has too little work experience, and her natural EQ and IQ are not high. To be an assistant requires her boss and her ex-colleagues to help her gradually improve. keep...

When Liu Jinya thinks about it now, she feels that she is too worthless and embarrassing, and she is afraid that Zhong Yuxiao will be contemptuous and disdainful when she hears these ideas.

"Jinya?" Zhong Yuxiao urged.

Liu Jinya took a deep breath and raised her head to respond, "Huh?"

"Let's eat first." Zhong Yuxiao said.

"Oh~" Liu Jinya looked at the extra soup on the table, and was a little dazed: she was too involved in thinking just now, and she didn't even notice when the waiter brought the soup.

There were still six dishes, and she felt that it was too strange to speak the truth in an environment where the waiters were coming and going, so An Jing took the soup bowl to serve it up, but saw that Zhong Yuxiao had already helped her, and filled a bowl for her and delivered it to her personally.

Seeing that Zhong Yuxiao was halfway there, it was useless for Liu Jinya to get up again, and she just waited for Zhong Yuxiao to put the soup in front of her.

After delivering the soup, Zhong Yuxiao sat down beside her by the way, and Liu Jinya breathed a sigh of relief.The waiter also breathed a sigh of relief. The customers were sitting far away, and it was difficult to serve the food. Now they are close together, and the dishes are easy to arrange.

"Uh." It was shocking to gather six dishes together, and Liu Jinya couldn't help feeling sorry for her purse, "Why did you order so much?"

"This store is not bad, take it out and eat at night."

Liu Jinya felt relieved instantly, and reached out to touch Zhong Yuxiao's head, "Good boy, you have learned to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping."

Zhong Yuxiao sideways dodged, "I'm not a child."

"Oh." Liu Jinya withdrew her hands depressedly, and muttered, "I want to pet your head because you are cute."

Zhong Yuxiao heard it, frowned and thought for a moment, looked at the clothes on her body before saying solemnly, "I'm not cute."

"..." Liu Jinya had convinced Baby Zhong's fanciful self-esteem. She smiled and helped to pick up the food, "Okay, eat well and don't talk."

Zhong Yuxiao was obedient and shut up and ate.

The two of them concentrated on eating without talking. It didn't take long, and they finished eating in half an hour.When paying the bill, Zhong Yuxiao rushed to pay in cash again, but Liu Jinya couldn't catch up, and felt ashamed of always eating free food, so she whispered, "I'll pay next time."

Zhong Yuxiao readily agreed.

Liu Jinya knew that Zhong Yuxiao must be planning to eat at a place with low consumption, and added, "I will pay for the next time at a restaurant with a similar level to this one."

"No need." Zhong Yuxiao said something that deserved a beating, "I know your salary very well."

Liu Jinya was unconvinced, "Hey, are you not allowed to make extra money?"

Zhong Yuxiao thought about this question seriously, "Do you want to earn extra money? Rent out your house and earn some rent."

This is the rhythm that keeps her living together.

Liu Jinya secretly lamented that Zhong Yuxiao had many ideas, so she began to consider the feasibility of this proposal.

In a short period of time, she only needs to solve the problem of entertaining her aunt. It doesn't matter if the house is empty, but the future will be different. Her mother is discharged from the hospital, and it will be inconvenient for her to live alone.

"Well..." She looked at Zhong Yuxiao's expectant expression, and it took her a while to answer cruelly, "I don't want it anymore, what if Mom doesn't want to go back to the original home? One more house and one more choice. And it's not like renting out a house now Easy, if you meet a bad tenant, you will have more troubles.”

"Okay, we'll talk about it after my aunt is discharged from the hospital." Zhong Yuxiao is a reasonable person.

Liu Jinya nodded.

"Now let's talk about some urgent issues." After getting in the car, Zhong Yuxiao saw that the space was private and the timing was right, so she patiently said to her, "The resignation has basically been decided, and I really can't change it. I'm sorry."

Liu Jinya hurriedly said, "Don't tell me I'm sorry, you decide your job yourself, I was too reluctant to say something unreasonable, it was my fault."

"Can you accept my resignation?"

"Yes..." Liu Jinya lowered her voice guiltily, "I'm just a little worried that my future boss will not be easy to get along with."

"No, there are a lot of things to do in this position. If you can't get along with your assistant, you can't get along with yourself. Qi Su is the assistant of the previous financial manager. It's not difficult for me to get along with her."

Speaking of Qi Su, Liu Jinya's inner inferiority complex began to haunt her again, "I'm different from Qi Su, I still don't know much about the company, Qi Su can help you integrate into the department, with such strong work ability..."

"Jin Ya." Zhong Yuxiao interrupted her frustrated thoughts, "Your ability is not bad now."

Liu Jinya was taken aback.

When she was working, Zhong Yuxiao seldom praised her. In her memory, she only refused the request of sales manager Hao Ziming to buy drinks for her.She understands that work is not like study. There is a teacher who praises a few words from time to time, and she never cared about such a businesslike treatment.

However, when she heard Zhong Yuxiao's praise of admitting her ability to work, she realized that her previous thinking was wrong.

The words of praise are not pleasant, but the cold tone and conservative evaluation have become commendable because they came from Zhong Yuxiao's mouth.

Liu Jinya's heart beat faster involuntarily, and she hurriedly asked, "Is what you said true?"

Zhong Yuxiao saw that she was so excited that she broke her voice and disregarded her image, so she smiled helplessly, "Well, she is much more mature in her handling of things."

"Then..." Liu Jinya gained a little confidence and came up with a bold idea, "You also need an assistant in the new company, can I go with you?"

Zhong Yuxiao's smile was still there, but it was no longer gentle. By fastening her seat belt, she turned her eyes away and tried to persuade her softly, "You have just joined the job, so it's better not to change jobs frequently."

The expected answer, Liu Jinya was rejected and didn't have any glass heart. She thought about her current situation and agreed, "That's right, I don't even know the situation of Company Z, so don't rush to change jobs."

"Maybe you can get a promotion in Company Z."

promotion?Liu Jinya didn't even dare to imagine, and waved her hand, "It's too early to say this now, hey, it's more practical to go back to the hospital to see my mother."

"Okay." Zhong Yuxiao started the car.

This time, the parking lot was ample, and they were finally able to park in the hospital.Walking up from the underground parking lot, Liu Jinya heard a noise at the entrance of the emergency department. She turned her head and saw a few young men in strange clothes with bleeding heads and swearing.

She couldn't see this kind of children learning bad things the most, and she clicked her tongue, "It's really a crime to stay at home after the New Year's Eve and go out to fight."

Zhong Yuxiao followed the prestige, stared at it for a while and said, "There is a person who looks familiar."

"Ah?" Liu Jinya was surprised, and took a closer look, "Isn't it the son of Accountant Wang?"

Zhong Yuxiao was stunned by her words and was speechless for a moment, coughing lightly, "No, it's the little bastard who squatted in front of your house."

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. Liu Jinya didn't see the debt collector's appearance clearly. After looking for a long time, she couldn't recognize them, so she gave up decisively, "I don't care about them, and I don't know them."

"He may know who paid back the money for your dad, go ask?"

"That's right!" Liu Jinya didn't expect this at all, and looked at Zhong Yuxiao in surprise, "How can you always think of this..."

Speaking of this, she got stuck, a familiar word flashed in her mind but couldn't catch it, she bit her lip in anxiety.

Zhong Yuxiao answered the words very considerately, "Heretician."

"..." Liu Jinya was amused, "It's a whimsical idea, why are you using derogatory terms to describe yourself?"

Zhong Yuxiao still took a serious attitude, "It's shameless to boast about yourself."

"Okay, let me praise you later." Liu Jinya said with a smile, "Let's go, let's ask him."

The little gangster was covering his bleeding head with his clothes, grinning his teeth, and kept patting the armrest of the chair and shouting, "Who are you! I've been waiting for so long!"

Liu Jinya felt disgusted when she saw it, and didn't go forward for a while. Zhong Yuxiao scanned the surroundings and found that all the gangster's companions had entered the emergency room, and the security guards were patrolling nearby, and walked forward without fear.

The little gangster noticed Zhong Yuxiao, curled his lips and ignored him, and turned his head away.

Liu Jinya was afraid that Zhong Yuxiao would be injured, so she hurried forward.

"Hello." Zhong Yuxiao was able to speak calmly to a gangster covered in blood.

The little gangster is a man, and he judges people by their appearance. Seeing Zhong Yuxiao's appearance, he glanced a few more times, and was unhappy that the movement of raising his head touched the wound. He shouted impatiently, "Why, strike up a conversation?"

Curious eyes all over the place all of a sudden, Zhong Yuxiao smiled instead of anger, and said softly, "No, I just think you look familiar, you're a debt collector, right?"

After all, it is a dishonorable business. The little gangster has done a lot of bad things. He felt guilty all of a sudden. He looked at Zhong Yuxiao for a few times, and then he noticed Liu Jinya, who was shy and non-existent next to him, and woke up, "Oh, it's you ah!"

Liu Jinya was surprised that the little gangster remembered herself, and cleared her throat to get down to business, "Who will pay Liu Guangbai's debt?"

"Isn't it your mother!" the little gangster said bluntly.

Liu Jinya endured the discomfort, "That person said she was my mother?"

"That's right, she said it was your mother, and she took the cash and returned it at the door. Counting in person is very fast."

Liu Jinya was surprised, "What does she look like?"

"Your old mother doesn't..." The little gangster sneered, wanting to hurt Liu Jinya, but he felt guilty after being stared at by Zhong Yuxiao, and he hesitated, "Who remembers, it's just an old woman who looks quite rich. "

Liu Jinya frowned.

Zhong Yuxiao saw the little gangster's head was bloodied and his mouth was full of foul language, so he probably knew that he couldn't get any information, so he teased Liu Jinya, "Let's go, he probably doesn't know him."

Liu Jinya nodded and asked, "How much does my father owe?"

"On the day of repaying the money, it will be exactly eighty-eight thousand, which is an auspicious number."

"..." Liu Jinya thought of the terrible level of profit, and could probably guess how her father got into a pile of debt, "I see, thank you."

It was the first time for the little gangster to see the two of them talking so easily with the debt collector, and his mood improved a lot, "It's okay."

Taking the elevator upstairs, Liu Jinya kept thinking about the information given by the gangster—a woman who was about the same age as her mother, who claimed to be her mother, looked quite rich, and could directly take out cash to pay back...

She thought of a suspicious person.

Xu Rongyuan's mother, her former mother-in-law.

-

When she was free to go home at night, Liu Jinya took her mobile phone and looked through the call records, and found the mobile phone number of Xu Rongyuan's mother whose note had been removed according to the date.

She felt that her thoughts were too outrageous. How could anyone pay back the money for her son's ex-wife?

According to common sense, Liu Jinya doesn't think it's Xu Rongyuan's mother, but after thinking about it, there is only one person who can meet this condition.

She is a person who has no idea, and she is hesitant to even call to ask, hoping to discuss it with others.

Liu Jinya thought about who to discuss with, but became even more distressed: her mother was sick and lived in the hospital. She didn't even know she was divorced, and she couldn't speak emotionally.

As for Zhong Yuxiao...

Liu Jinya felt that asking her ex-husband's mother was really a quarrel.

Just in time, after Zhong Yuxiao took a shower, seeing that she was still sitting by the bed without resting, she knocked on the door.

Liu Jinya instinctively hid her phone, turned her head and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Are you chatting with someone else?" Zhong Yuxiao didn't play tricks with her at all, and just said what she wanted to ask.

Liu Jinya shook her head, looked at Zhong Yuxiao's hair and shawl wearing pajamas, which was much softer and cuter than usual, pursed her lips, watched the time pass by, seeing that the sky was getting late, if you don't ask today, you will drag it until tomorrow, feel You will definitely not be able to sleep well at night.

"I'm thinking about one thing." Liu Jinya was so suffocated, she thought over and over again, and finally said to Zhong Yuxiao, "Who is the one who helped my dad pay back the money?"

Zhong Yuxiao sat next to her, "Got a clue?"

"Hmm." Liu Jinya took a deep breath, and said out in one breath after getting ready, "I suspect it's Xu Rongyuan's mother."

Zhong Yu Xiaoyuan was brushing her hair casually. Hearing what she said, her hands froze in the air, and her eyes were full of disbelief when she looked over.

"It's weird." Liu Jinya felt guilty, "But I followed what the gangster said, and I only thought of her."

Zhong Yuxiao took a deep breath, and said calmly, "You have a good relationship with her?"

"It's okay." Liu Jinya lowered her head and muttered, "After the divorce, both she and Xu Rongyuan's sister tried to contact me."

Zhong Yuxiao understood the mystery of trying to contact a few words, "They didn't contact you, how did they know that your father owed the debt?"

"I bought the house in that community because Xu Rongyuan's mother's friend's house also bought a house." Zhong Yuxiao didn't say it was impossible. Nothing major happened, but suddenly there was such a group of hooligans guarding there, it must have spread. Xu Rongyuan’s mother’s friend also lives there, so it’s not unusual. gone."

Zhong Yuxiao felt that this analysis made some sense, and nodded, "Are you going to ask?"

"I'm just hesitating about this matter." Liu Jinya sighed, "After the divorce, I vowed never to have anything to do with them again, and now I called again after half a year, it's a bit..."

Zhong Yuxiao didn't sigh with her, and directly said the crux of the problem, "If she really paid it back, if you don't ask, you will always be confused. Contacting them now is to better clear up the relationship in the future."

Liu Jinya was stunned, "Wow."

"Ok?"

"You're so right." Liu Jinya felt that she was entangled in vain, and kept nodding, "Now the time is just right, I'll call and ask..."

Zhong Yuxiao suddenly said, "Will Xu Rongyuan know?"

"No way, his mother is not close to him, and there are some things she would rather tell me than him."

"As long as you know it in your heart." Zhong Yuxiao said, "Let's fight and find out early."

Liu Jinya agreed, and called out the number.The half-minute beeping after the connection was very difficult. She wanted to give up several times, but she managed to calm down when she met Zhong Yuxiao's firm eyes, and she was determined to find out the matter clearly.

"Hello?" Xu Rongyuan's mother answered, her voice was very gentle, "Jin Ya?"

Liu Jinya felt a little sad for a moment—why did everyone change, and Xu Rongyuan's mother was still kind and approachable, as if she was still a family?

"Yes, I'm Liu Jinya." She was not as transparent as the old man, and she couldn't regain the intimacy in the past. Her voice was trembling, and she said polite and distant words awkwardly, "I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

Xu Rongyuan's mother was not affected by her indifference, and her tone was gentle, "How could it be an interruption."

"I'm calling this time because I want to ask you something."

Liu Jinya carefully chose her words, thinking about how to say it would be better, before she could think about it, she heard Xu Rongyuan's mother say, "Is it for paying back the money?"

"Ah?" She was stunned for a moment before realizing, "You really paid it back?"

Xu Rongyuan's mother sighed, and said in a worrying tone like an elder: "Yes, Ah Sheng said that there are people in the community blocking the door to collect debts, calling your name. It's almost Chinese New Year, I don't want you to be troubled by such things, thinking that you don't have much money Just help out."

The words were a little cautious because she was afraid that she would be unhappy. Liu Jinya felt uncomfortable, and she was grateful for the concern of this person who had no relationship with her, and said sincerely, "Thank you, but... I can't ask for this money."

"Please put it away," Xu Rongyuan's mother persuaded, "Rongyuan has gone too far in the matter of divorce, and it is wrong for me to fail to stop it. Our family is sorry for you, so let me help you with this and feel at ease. "

Liu Jinya was very firm, "No, I have to return it to you, can I call it on Rongrou's card?" About three years ago, she had a money transaction with Xu Rongyuan's sister Xu Rongrou because of buying gifts, and checked the transaction records. It is not difficult to issue a card number.

"Don't." Xu Rongyuan's mother seemed to be paying back the money without telling her children, and immediately became anxious, "Well, you choose a time, and we will meet and discuss it."

For those who help her, Liu Jinya can't bear to cause trouble, "Okay, how about 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll meet you at Ah Sheng's flower tea shop."

Liu Jinya agreed, and added, "Happy New Year."

Xu Rongyuan's mother smiled, sounding very sincere, "Happy New Year, Jinya."

This kind of warm conversation appeared in the mouth of the ex-mother-in-law was too weird. Liu Jinya didn't last long, said goodbye in a hurry and hung up the phone. Seeing the interface where the call ended, she was relieved, "Huh..."

Zhong Yuxiao looked at her quietly.

"What's the matter?" Liu Jinya was stared at uncomfortably, "Did I do something wrong?"

"The day after tomorrow? Meet?" Zhong Yuxiao's tone was disapproving, and she raised her eyebrows and cast a sideways glance.

Liu Jinya knew she couldn't handle it well, so she tugged at the corner of Zhong Yuxiao's clothes, "Can you go with me?"

"Yeah." Zhong Yuxiao was quickly satisfied, "I'll make an appointment to withdraw money in the afternoon, and I'll meet you at the hospital in the evening."

"Withdrawal?"

"Don't you want to pay back the money?" Zhong Yuxiao snorted coldly, "After taking the cash, Xu Rongyuan's mother will give it directly to Xu Rongyuan. If she doesn't want it, we will throw the money and leave immediately, and it will be cleaned up immediately."

Liu Jinya was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.

This method is simple and crude, but very effective.

but……

The picture she imagined of Zhong Baobao running away after losing the money is really cute.
