Thousand Willows

"What's the matter, are you not in the right mood today?" Liu Hao could tell at a glance that Jiang Yizhong had something on his mind.

"It's nothing, maybe because the Chinese New Year is approaching, I feel that nothing will be accomplished this year." Jiang Yizhong smiled.

"Come on, you kid, don't be cheap and act like a good boy." Liu Hao rolled his eyes.

"I heard that you are getting along well with your girlfriend recently?" Jiang Yizhong changed the subject.

Liu Hao smiled triumphantly, and said, "That's right, don't you look at who I am? Where can I find such a good man."

Jiang Yi looked at Liu Hao with a smile and said, "It seems that you have met true love this time."

Liu Hao asked: "How did you see this?"

Jiang Yizhong said: "Because whenever your girlfriend is mentioned, your eyes will glow green."

When Liu Hao heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and smiled.His current girlfriend is exactly the girl Liu Minhui faced when he asked him to act in a play, but the fake show was actually done, and the two of them had a good impression of each other, and they became boyfriend and girlfriend and are dating.

"Don't talk about her, so as not to irritate you single dog." Liu Hao said with a smirk.

Jiang Yizhong also smiled and said, "Let's have a good drink tonight, and we won't go home until we're drunk."

When Liu Hao heard this, his eyes changed when he saw Jiang Yizhong, and he said, "Old Jiang, did you receive any stimulation today, or is there something on your mind?" From then on, Liu Hao no longer called Jiang Yizhong "President Jiang", but called him "Old Jiang", which seemed quite friendly.

"Haozi, we are old acquaintances. I ask you, and you have to answer me seriously." Seeing this, Jiang Yizhong no longer concealed it, and said, "What do you think of my work ability?"

Liu Hao originally saw Jiang Yizhong's serious face, so he listened with pricked ears, but when he heard such a question, he couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Yizhong was a little unhappy.

Liu Hao waved his hand, refilled Jiang Yizhong's glass of wine, and said, "I just said what's wrong with you. It turns out that you can't make it through this matter."

The two touched a glass, Liu Hao drank a glass of wine, licked his lips, and continued: "Did you hear some rumors?"

Jiang Yizhong blinked his eyes sensitively a few times, but didn't reply.

Liu Hao smiled and said, "Looking at you like this, it's almost inseparable. You must be upset when you hear people say that you go through the back door and are related to the household?"

Liu Hao's words hit Jiang Yizhong's heart, but he refused to admit it, saying: "I don't feel uncomfortable, but I think that although I can't say how good it is, it's not too bad."

"That's just unpleasant." Liu Hao added more wine to the two of them, and stuffed a chopstick of potato shreds into his mouth.

Jiang Yi sighed heavily and said, "You're right, I'm really upset."

"It's right for you to be upset." Liu Hao said, "But this kind of thing is not worth it for you to come out and drink away your worries. Those who gossip are either idle birds or cowards, no matter how good they are There are always endless shortcomings in their mouths. Those people are not on the same level as you. They can't see what you can see. They can only see the little benefit in front of them. That's all."

"Are you pouring chicken soup for my soul?" Jiang Yizhong snorted, but felt a little better in his heart.

Jiang Yi nodded emphatically and said, "I heard."

"Those gossiping people are the foxes under the vine. Because they don't have such opportunities, they say 'go through the back door' and 'relationship households'. These words are used to belittle others, so that they can feel better. But if they really Give them the opportunity to 'go through the back door' and become a 'relationship household', and they will be as excited as bees seeing nectar." Liu Hao said the last sentence slowly, originally he wanted to use other animals as an indecent analogy, But it suddenly occurred to him that Jiang Yizhong, who was sitting across from him, was the real beneficiary. Didn't he even insult the other party, so he temporarily changed the description to bee.

Jiang Yizhong looked at Liu Hao as if he was looking at someone he had never met before.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Liu Hao shivered.

"I just found out, Haozi, you are a genius!" Jiang Yi laughed again.

"If you don't bring you such a compliment, can't you praise something nice..." Liu Hao couldn't hide his joy, and had another drink with Jiang Yizhong, and said, "You have to know, compared to you, I'm nothing more 'Relationship household', you know, it's thanks to you and brother Liu that I'm here today. No matter how bad people say behind my back, for me, I'm much better now than before, pocket When I am rich, I don’t need to borrow money to pay off credit cards every day, I can also get some subsidies for my family, and I can take my girlfriend to eat in better places... These are the benefits I really get. Do you want me to feel guilty and give up all this in just one sentence? Impossible! I can't do it."

Jiang Yizhong looked at the person in front of him, and remembered that when he first met him a few years ago, he thought that this person was slick and not a serious person. After a few years, he realized that Liu Hao's slickness and sophistication were all because of him. A weapon in the face of this world, but in his heart, there is always a tree standing, no matter the wind, rain, sun, snow or pressure, it will always live tenaciously and hard.

"You are much better than me." Jiang Yizhong said.

Liu Hao said with a smile: "I am not as capable as you and willing to endure hardships. I just have a thicker skin than you. But I found that if you want to live happily in this world, you have to practice a thicker skin. It's not a problem if the problem meets the thick skin of the city wall!"

"That's right, learn from you!" Jiang Yi raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses. "By the way, Haozi, I'm going on a business trip to City H next week. It's almost the Chinese New Year when I get back from the business trip. What are your plans for this year's Chinese New Year? Go back to your hometown or..."

Liu Hao was slightly complacent, and said, "It's rare to make a little money this year. I plan to go back to my hometown for the new year. I have bought the tickets and leave early next week. When I come back after the new year, I will bring you the local products from my hometown." .”

A few days later, the county town became more and more lively.

After Liu Minhui participated in the company's annual meeting held at the Phoenix Hotel in the county seat, he handed over the rest of the affairs to the executive Lao Wang and Sun Fang, while he went home to pack his luggage and go to City H.

Seeing the metropolis he hadn't seen for a long time, Liu Minhui couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, feeling a sense of loss that everything is right and everyone is wrong.But when he saw Liu Minhui appearing at the exit, he suddenly felt that everything around him had radiance and warmth in an instant, and this city H was no longer a place that had nothing to do with him.

"Tired?" Liu Minhui took the luggage from Jiang Yizhong's hand, and naturally hugged his shoulder.

Jiang Yizhong was a little embarrassed, and dodged away while saying "not tired".

Liu Minhui no longer forced himself, and led Jiang Yizhong to the underground garage.

Sitting in the car, Liu Minhui shook Jiang Yizhong's hand and said, "I didn't arrange a hotel for you, so you can stay at my house first."

Jiang Yizhong was a little surprised and asked, "Why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

"Is it too late to discuss it now?"

"It's too late, I don't agree!"

Liu Minhui pulled Jiang Yizhong into his arms.

Jiang Yizhong struggled desperately, blushing. Although this is the garage at the bottom, station H is a large station after all, and there are many people and cars passing by in the garage. They are easy to be noticed by others as they chatter about in the parking space.

"Go to my house, I want you to see where I live." Liu Minhui whispered in Jiang Yizhong's ear, and then let him go.

Jiang Yizhong glanced at Liu Minhui speechlessly, thinking that this guy really has no psychological burden at all.

Liu Minhui met Jiang Yizhong's eyes, and suddenly laughed, the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with joy that couldn't be concealed.

Jiang Yizhong couldn't help laughing either.

We finally met again. Although modern communication is very advanced, you can text, voice, and video, but when you see me in person, it is the most real and warmest.

"Okay, I'll take it as your consent, put on your seat belt, and let's go."

After driving for a long time, the two arrived at the real estate where Liu Minhui's house was located.

It was already late at this time, and some of the villas were lit, while others were dark.

Liu Minhui drove the car into the garage and led Jiang Yizhong home.

Jiang Yizhong looked at it quietly. The house is very luxuriously decorated, mostly using dark-toned solid wood. An old-fashioned crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling on the third floor, and a wooden spiral staircase with handrails goes up the middle. .The quality of the dark floral wallpaper looks good, with no signs of peeling or mildew.There are wrought iron wall lamps nailed on the wall, and a few oil paintings are also hung.

Liu Minhui led Jiang Yi to a room on the second floor. There was a complete set of furniture in the room, and the bedding on the bed seemed to be new.

"You live in this room." Liu Minhui put down his luggage and said, "I'll show you to my room."

Jiang Yizhong felt a little unhappy in his heart. He thought that Liu Minhui said he would live in his house, and he lived in the same room with him. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was because their house had many rooms that they insisted on dragging him to live here.

"Forget it, isn't auntie at home? I'm hungry, let's go eat first." Jiang Yizhong rejected Liu Minhui somewhat bluntly.

Liu Minhui patted his forehead lightly, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot, I'll take you to dinner first. My mother has a party tonight, and she asked me to say sorry to you for not being able to accompany us tonight." have a meal together."

"Have you reported it to your mother?"

"I told her that you came to live today, and she was very happy. There is no one in our house, and it is always deserted. Originally, she planned to cook for us by herself, but tonight she is going to have dinner with the city leaders. , can’t be helped, can’t be pushed away.”

The two went downstairs while talking.

"What do you want to eat?" Liu Minhui asked.

"Up to you." Jiang Yizhong said perfunctorily.

Liu Minhui suddenly put his arms around Jiang Yizhong's waist and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you angry because my mother didn't receive you?"

Jiang Yi pushed Liu Minhui away again, straightened his clothes and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat quickly."
