Retreat

He Yu felt that the fish-flavored eggplant made by Li Tang had a familiar home flavor.In fact, it's not too much like He's mother's method. The fish-flavored eggplant made by her mother is sweeter, while Li Tang's is full of onion, ginger and garlic, and has a strong fish flavor.But He Yu just felt nostalgic, and couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.

After dinner, He Yu went to wash the dishes, Li Tang leaned against the door and smoked, and said, "I'll take a nap later, you can figure it out in the afternoon."

He Yu picked up the plate from the sink and said, "Okay."

Li Tang said again: "Think carefully about the way out when you have time. Do you plan to stay in such a small dilapidated restaurant for the rest of your life?"

He Yu's expression suddenly became a little sad.

Li Tang didn't want him to misunderstand that he wanted to drive him away, so he said again: "Take your time, there will always be a way." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked upstairs, and halfway he said to He Yu: "Just close the door when you go out." In broad daylight, there will be no thieves to patronize.

After He Yu washed the dishes, he took out his mobile phone and found that it was out of battery and turned off.The charger was still at Fu Chenshan's house, He Yu hesitated for a moment, but decided to go back first.

Sitting on the bus, He Yu was thinking about the way out that Li Tang told him all the way.His undergraduate degree in electronic information engineering was a good way out for him to enter Lingyun, a leading information and communication company in the country.Starting from customer sales step by step, he always believed that he would have a bright day.But now, let alone five years later, whether an undergraduate student of his major can find a job is just that he has been in prison and has a criminal record, which is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.Unless, like Li Tang, he can rely on connections to find someone to accept him, and in this case, he still has to rely on the help of Fu Chenshan or Qiao Mudong, so what's the point for him who wants to live independently?

He Yu buried his face in his palms and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Chenshan would naturally not be at home at this time.On the contrary, He Yu felt relaxed. For some reason, he was becoming more and more afraid of facing Fu Chenshan.

Going back to the room, I opened the drawer at the head of the bed, and there was a lonely file bag in it, which was taken from He Ting, all of which were He Yu's documents and certificates, and the passbook of 3000 yuan. Not moved.

However, the other things in the room were not his. The clothes Fu Chenshan bought for him, including the tight underwear and socks, were all prepared by Fu Chenshan for him.

Are you going?

Li Tang hasn't received his wages yet, he fishes for three days and spends two days drying nets, so he's too embarrassed to mention the advance payment.With only 3000 yuan, if he wanted to rent a small apartment, plus the deposit, he would only be able to pay one month's rent, and even the landlord would not want to rent it to him.

He Yu took the things back and told himself that no matter how much he endured, no matter how much he endured, Fu Chenshan owed him this, so why couldn't he accept it with peace of mind.

He Yu lay on the bed, plugged in the phone to charge, but did not rush to turn it on.He had exhausted too much energy yesterday and got up early, and he felt extremely tired as soon as he lay down, so he planned to sleep first before talking.

Qiao Mudong called He Yu twice, but the other party didn't turn on the phone. He threw the phone on the table a little annoyed, and was picking up the internal phone to let Huang Haisheng come in, when his phone rang suddenly.

Qiao Mudong glanced at the incoming call, it turned out to be a call from Ling Qiang, he frowned, and answered, "Hello."

"Mu Dong," Ling Qiang said in a low and peaceful voice, unable to detect any emotion, "go home for dinner tonight."

Qiao Mudong asked, "Which home? Yours or mine?"

Ling Qiang's tone didn't fluctuate at all, and he replied: "Father's home is also your home, your sister and Chen Shan are coming back, don't forget, dinner is at six, remember to come back on time."

After Ling Qiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Qiao Mudong cursed in a low voice, threw the phone away and patted the armrest, then leaned back on the chair vigorously.

Before leaving get off work, Qiao Mudong asked Huang Haisheng to help him find He Yu.

Huang Haisheng stood up from his seat, wondering: "Find him and then what will you do?"

Qiao Mudong actually didn't think about it himself, he stood there thinking for a while, and then said: "You accompany him to dinner, and then send him to my place."

Huang Haisheng was even more embarrassed, "Mr. Qiao, if Mr. He is not willing to do this, I can't force him."

Qiao Mudong was surprised when he heard this, "Why are you afraid of him? Just say that I ordered it, and it's up to him whether he wants it or not. If he doesn't, just grab him and go."

Huang Haisheng was about to cry, and he said that even if you went to the house in person, he might not listen to you, let alone ask me to take a message?But he didn't dare to say these words to Qiao Mudong, he blushed after holding back for a long time, and said: "I will try my best."

Qiao Mudong nodded, walked out of the office and walked towards the elevator. Since Ling Qiang called himself, he still had to go.

Ling Qiang's family lives in the south of the city, and the west and south of the city are now areas where high-end residential buildings are relatively dense in Chongfeng City.The villa area where Ling Qiang lives was built in the early 90s. At that time, it was located outside the Second Ring Road, and it was still a bit remote, but now it can be regarded as the downtown area.Although up to now, the villa area does not seem to be too open, and the outer walls are mottled and old, but the surrounding environment has always been quiet, so Ling Qiang has no plans to move out of the city.

Ling Zhilu lived with her parents. If Ling Qiang wanted it, Qiao Mudong should also move back and find an opportunity to officially change Ling's surname.But the Ling family still has a mistress, and it is probably the bottom line for that lady to make Ling Qiang recognize Qiao Mudong and allow Qiao Mudong to enter Lingyun.

Although the villa area where the Ling family is located is old, it was a well-known wealthy area in the city. Every family has a large lawn and a back garden, and the space is relatively independent.

Qiao Mudong parked the car on the side of the stone road in the middle of the lawn, before he got out of the car, he saw the BMW parked in front, and Fu Chenshan and Ling Zhilu had already arrived.

Qiao Mudong doesn't like Ling Zhilu, but he has a good impression of Fu Chenshan. Usually, the two of them don't interact much, but they are polite to each other when they meet.

Qiao Mudong got out of the car and walked to the house.

The Ling family didn't hire many servants, just an old couple, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, and they also had a son who was driving for Ling Qiang.As for the cleaners and gardeners and gardeners, they are hired from outside. They come here once or twice a week, and the wages are calculated according to the time.

When Qiao Mudong arrived, Aunt Xu was sitting in front of the gate basking in the sun while picking vegetables, raised her eyes to look at Qiao Mudong, and said, "Mr. Qiao is here."

Her tone was very cold, and Qiao Mudong was used to it, so he nodded and walked directly inside.

After entering the gate, in the living room on the first floor, Mrs. Ling, Zhou Xuelan, was talking with her daughter in her arms. Ling Zhilu leaned into her mother's ear, talking and laughing in a low voice, making Zhou Xuelan laugh from time to time, while Fu Chenshan was by her side, listening to her mother The girls chat.

As soon as Qiao Mudong came in, Fu Chenshan noticed him first, stood up and said hello, "I'm back."

Qiao Mudong nodded politely.

Ling Zhilu collapsed and didn't look at him at all, but Zhou Xuelan stood up and said with a smile, "I'm back. Your father is upstairs in the study. He told you to go see him when you come back."

Qiao Mudong said, "Thank you." He turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Zhou Xuelan was born as a typical young lady, compared to Ling Zhilu's arrogant and self-indulgent personality, she is more like a well-educated lady in the old society.I don't know how Ling Qiang persuaded Zhou Xuelan when he asked Qiao Mudong to come back. Zhou Xuelan always had a cold but polite attitude towards Qiao Mudong, without revealing her original emotions at all.

Qiao Mudong went upstairs, stepped on the carpet to the door of the study, reached out to knock on the door, and heard Ling Qiang say from inside: "Come in."

Qiao Mudong opened the door and went in. He saw Ling Qiang sitting behind the desk, reading a document with glasses on. Seeing Qiao Mudong coming in, he put down the document with one hand and took off his glasses with the other, and said to him, "Come and sit."

Qiao Mudong sat down facing him.

Ling Qiang asked, "How's work going?"

Qiao Mudong said: "It's okay."

Ling Qiang said: "Don't be perfunctory to me. I said that all the documents you signed should be shown to me. Why didn't you come?"

Qiao Mudong suppressed his impatience and said, "I asked Huang Haisheng to send it to you."

"I didn't ask someone to bring it to me," Ling Qiang said with a serious face, "I asked you to come and see me. The purpose of my visit is not just to check your work, but also to teach you how to do it."

Qiao Mudong raised one hand, propped his face, and did not speak.

Ling Qiang said: "You are already [-] this year, and you used to dawdle without knowing what to say. Do you plan to live in such a daze from now on?"

Qiao Mudong said unhurriedly: "Since you didn't participate in the first 30 years of my life, what right do you have to criticize how I should live in the future?"

There was silence between father and son.

After a while, Ling Qiang said: "Do you know why I must call you back?"

Qiao Mudong asked: "What?"

Ling Qiang put his hands on the table, moved his body closer, and said, "Your sister said that she saw you fooling around with a man in the office."

As soon as he said this, Qiao Mudong's cell phone rang, he picked it up, and heard Huang Haisheng say over there: "Mr. He is not here, I can't find him."

Qiao Mudong said: "Forget it if you can't find it."

After hanging up the phone, seeing Ling Qiang looking at him seriously, he replied: "Yes, so what?"
