——The little boy raised by the domineering president——

It was rare for Xu Ziqin to sleep soundly.

After sending Fei Jin and Huang Dan to the high-speed rail station, and busy finishing He Zheng's funeral, he tossed and turned like a pancake in the middle of the night for two consecutive weeks. It hurts badly when bent.He had just finished washing up vigorously when his cell phone rang.

"Did you make a mistake? Say hello to me early in the morning?"

"Get out!" Dou Jingzhe said, "I called Bai Jiang [-] times, but no one answered. I reckon it will be the same for you. He Zheng's second-hand two-bedroom apartment has nothing to do with his mother in the legal sense. My mother’s family is even more difficult to get on top of.”

Xu Ziqin stretched her waist, pulled the curtains, and the clear sunlight shone into the room warmly, and she immediately felt happy.

"Then there's nothing to say." Xu Ziqin left the bedroom, while Bai Jiang was frying eggs in the kitchen.

There are milk, toast and after-dinner fruit on the table, serving four people. The plate is unique, very similar to what Aunt Sun made in Bishuiwan.

"It's true to say that, but she's also a mother if she's divorced, so you can't just leave her to die, right?"

Dou Jingzhe went through the ins and outs of the second brother-in-law's riot at the banquet several times in his mind, and always felt that only when a person lacks money will he go to the point of being beaten by eggs.

Xu Ziqin put his arms around Bai Jiang's lower back and kissed him. Bai Jiang thoughtfully scooped up a small piece of egg and asked him to taste the saltiness.

The egg whites are crisp but not burnt, with just the right amount of saltiness.

Xu Ziqin sat down at the dining table and took a sip of milk: "Lei Zi also said that day that he won't last until the end of this year. Didn't the money from the sale of the house end up in the pockets of his mother's family?

He Zheng has lived his whole life, and he has never lost a good man, so his only net worth has been paid in?It's better to use that money for charity than to feed those white-eyed wolves. "

Bai Jiang put the fried eggs on a plate, went to the second bedroom next door and knocked on the door without rushing, kicked Wang Zijie and Shen Tiandong up to have breakfast.

When he returned to the restaurant, Xu Ziqin was still on the phone, arguing for a reason.Bai Jiang couldn't listen anymore, so he asked him to turn on the speakerphone.

On the other end of the phone, the sound of Dou Jingzhe breaking the wall breaker was booming, suppressing his haggard voice.

"I'm not the heart of the Virgin!" Dou Jingzhe teased the cat on the balcony, "His mother's family is nothing, but I can't bear it. What happened to He Zheng was more or less because of me, and now he has a seriously ill mother I’m still alive, so if I help, even if I don’t get cured and die in the hospital, my conscience will be at ease.”

Xu Ziqin raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Jiang as if asking for advice. He was biting two slices of toast with a fried egg, without saying a word.

Dou Jingzhe was a very thug, it wasn't because he couldn't get through to Bai Jiang, he just let Xu Ziqin be a lobbyist.

The house book is in Bai Jiang's hands, and he has to go through the procedures to sell the house.Dou Jingzhe knew in his heart that when Bai Jiang was furious at the wine table that day, it would be impossible for him to persuade him to give the house book to his second uncle, so he went around in his mind and found Xu Ziqin.

After all, Bai Jiang could only listen to Xu Ziqin's words.

Shen Tiandong and Wang Zijiao each gave a panda eye, and sat down sleepily to eat toast.

The two of them stayed up late last night to do project planning, planning to open a financial studio in the city.

Wang Zijie took a sip of milk and instantly revived his vitality for the day: "Breakfast is really good!"

No one answered.

Wang Zijie wanted to say something to Bai Jiang again, but Shen Tiandong poked his armpit. Shen Tiandong's ability to observe words and emotions had been cultivated to a superb level, and he noticed that the situation between the two was not right as soon as he sat down for breakfast.

"What's wrong?" Wang Zijie understood immediately, and deliberately hugged his cousin's shoulder, "Cousin, don't you like it?"

Xu Ziqin didn't say anything, just stared at Bai Jiang.

Bai Jiang ate his breakfast in a few big gulps, put his hands crossed on the table, motionless, as if he was in deep thought.

Shen Tiandong eased: "On the day of the classmate reunion, Liu Shen said that there is a hot spring hotel in the development zone, and the four of us will go to a hot spring together another day?"

Still no one spoke, and the air became cold.The eggs in Wang Zijiao's mouth were no longer fragrant, but the four of them looked at each other and sat dryly.

Xu Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief, and held Bai Jiang's hand coquettishly: "Brother."

Bai Jiang didn't appreciate it, and moved his hand.Xu Ziqin had a good temper, and the other hand was the first to launch an offensive, clutching it tightly, shaking his hand again, pleading: "Brother."

It is true that He Zheng's mother's natal family was ruthless and ungrateful, but He Zheng, who grew up in the streets, looked like a hooligan, but he also valued love and righteousness.If he hadn't died, he certainly wouldn't have stood by.

Xu Ziqin admitted that what Dou Jingzhe said was true, even if the person died in the hospital in the end, at least he paid the money and worked hard in the name of He Zheng.All men can be redeemed in conscience.

"Are you begging for mercy too? Want me to give them that house?" Bai Jiang's tone was so cold that he could breathe out a chill.

Xu Ziqin shivered abruptly, raised his head, and looked directly at him: "The house is not paid, the hospital pays for the medical expenses, and we pay in the name of He Zheng. The money goes directly to the account and does not change hands.

Saving people is a matter of love, not saving people is a duty, anyway, if you keep the house, it will be idle, and if you sell it to save people, you will not lose any tongues. "

The second-hand house was sold in an intermediary for more than 50 yuan, plus He Zheng's deposit, a total of 70 yuan, all remitted in one card, and Dou Jingzhe took full control of it.

During the period, Dou Jingzhe felt uneasy, so he sent his secretary to the city hospital to visit He Zheng's mother who was seriously ill and panting in bed.

Her face was bloodless, and she was so skinny that she tossed and turned on the bed in pain. She could only drink water, and even vomited porridge. She was hanged by nutrition needles.

When Dou Jingzhe sent the photos he took to Bai Jiang, Bai Jiang seemed calm and indifferent, but several times when Xu Ziqin happened to pass by, he saw his brother smoking a cigarette in a depressed mood.

One pump is two, and I can't stop at all.

Xu Ziqin hugged him from behind, took the cigarette from his hand, and took a puff.

"Dou Jingzhe said..." Bai Jiang lit another one, "His mother's family didn't tell her that He Zheng passed away, for fear that she would be irritated. After asking several other relatives, I found out that his mother has been hospitalized for so many days. He Zheng never came to the hospital once, not because he resented his mother for abandoning him in the early years, but because...he didn't even know it was terminal cancer."

Bai Jiang calmly puffed out the smoke ring, and hugged Xu Ziqin in his arms: "The pain was so disorientating, and when she was playing tranquillity, she often talked about He Zheng, saying that when she was discharged from the hospital, she would make him her favorite fan." Steamed pork ribs."

According to a few words from relatives, He Zheng would visit his mother every New Year's sleepover night, and occasionally send some money and new clothes.

Although the relationship between mother and child is not close, there are also phone calls, and they are not complete strangers.

No one knows what happened to their family back then, and why their parents divorced.It's just that every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and it's hard for honest officials to break up housework.

What others have to do is to have a clear conscience.

On August [-]th, Qin Yuan sent a message in the group saying that he had booked a family dinner.Grandpa and grandma are in Fujian, their legs, feet and body are not as good as before, so they cannot attend.

The Qin family's first family dinner after five years, Bai Jiang attached great importance to it.That afternoon, like an ant on a hot pot, he beckoned Xu Ziqin to sit down in front of the fitting mirror, tried on all kinds of suits, and asked questions.

Xu Ziqin answered so that smoke was coming out of his throat, so he picked out an ordinary sweatshirt for him, dragged him out of the waterfront garden on the second ring road, and pushed him into the car: "It's not that I haven't seen it before, you were in my high school. I’ve lived at home for a year. I’m not meeting clients for a casual meal. What kind of suit should I wear? You don’t mind the trouble.”

In contrast, Xu Ziqin was wearing a white bottoming shirt and a clean blue and white baseball uniform, matching his cute face with big eyes, just like that sunny and handsome high school student who just finished school.

"Baby, can it be the same?" Bai Jiang nervously arranged his clothes again, and even took the time to call Kevin before analyzing firmly, "I used to be a brother, but now I'm a boyfriend. The goals and positions are different, and the pattern is different." It's different. Forget it, don't worry about this matter, leave it to me to handle it."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly sniffed the jacket again, and brought the cuffs to the tip of Xu Ziqin's nose in a serious manner: "Smell, this one is a low-key and classic blue. Kevin chose it. It doesn't drop the price, and it doesn't overwhelm the guests."

Xu Ziqin: ...

Xu Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief. Both his cousin and Shen Tiandong had bombarded him with WeChat for several rounds. Those two were picking out gifts in a nearby shopping plaza, and asked them to drop by anyway. There were too many things, and it was really hard to take a taxi. .

Outside the window, Kevin stepped on high heels from SKP in a hurry, and stuffed bags into the trunk of Aston Martin with big bags in his hands.

In order not to miss or take it by mistake, she also specially found someone to carry the bag. Her eyeballs are like a camera covering all directions without blind spots.

I don't know how many things she bought in SKP, and it took a full 5 minutes.

When the car door was pulled open, Kevin shouted in the driver's seat refreshed: "It's so cool!"

Bai Jiang hummed for a long time, signaling her not to dawdle.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this area is a shopping paradise. If you don’t leave, you will definitely get stuck in a long queue.

After Kevin responded with an understatement, he methodically spliced ​​the photos of the shopping in major luxury stores with Meitu Xiuxiu, and posted them in a nine-square grid, and sent them to Moments with thoughtful words.

She tilted her head: "Boss Bai, would you like me later?"

Xu Ziqin glanced up at Kevin, then glanced at Bai Jiang inexplicably, and asked incredulously, "What kind of benefits did Director Bai give you? Asking you to help him with shopping and driving during the Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion?"

Kevin smiled at Xu Ziqin without showing his teeth: "SKP is a bag, you can choose."

Xu Ziqin: ...

He glared at Bai Jiang, hating iron for being weak: "Can't you restrain your local tyrant's aesthetics? You make me feel like a little boy raised by a domineering president."

In the next second, Kevin ruthlessly exposed him: "Mr. Xu, if there is a Forbes list in the city, your ranking should be ahead of Mr. Bai. After all, you hold the entire Jinqin Finance in your hands."

Xu Ziqin: ...

He didn't change his face and his heart didn't beat, but in fact, ten thousand sheep were galloping past in his mind, filling the sky with yellow sand.

Aston Martin started, Xu Ziqin was looking at the shopping malls and office buildings outside the window calmly with his head sideways.

I haven't seen each other for five years, and the urban area is developing at a faster rate. If Kevin wasn't driving, he wouldn't even know where it is.

Even the super shopping mall that Wang Zijie and Shen Tiandong went to was newly opened in the past two years.

The radio in the car was playing "When Will the Moon Come" leisurely, and Kevin squinted his eyes and hummed along, until he saw two people with several big bags in their hands, ready to rush the gift bags to Aston Martin's When the trunk was put down, Kevin directly blocked it.

After all, it wasn't Wang Zijie's car, and he had to bow his head under the eaves. He gasped for breath and stuffed gifts into the car.

"Is this a family banquet?" Wang Zijie turned his anger on Xu Ziqin, "You are showing off your wealth naked! Two evil capitalists working together! You have seriously deviated from the mass line. You want a high-end luxury product in a trunk. Do you want to open a shop in Sanlitun?"

Kevin is not happy anymore. This trunk was made by her working overtime these days. For these gifts, she made no less than hundreds of phone calls, made reservations in advance at various stores, and went through several layers of relationships. How can the source of goods obtained be slandered casually?

Kevin was indignant: "I followed Mr. Xiaobai's request and made a strict price budget. A single item does not exceed 10, and I have carefully selected high-quality and cheap products that are close to the people! If you want to show off your wealth, then go straight to the high If you buy it, take it with your eyes closed!"

Kevin yelled passionately, the only thing he had dreamed of was to follow Bai Jiang's butt to see its beauty.

The prince glared at Xu Ziqin angrily, and Xu Ziqin had no choice but to add angrily: "Talk about your feelings, the price is secondary."

"Incisive!" Kevin turned on her non-surprising and endless mode, "It's different for me. When I walked in, I went to the cabinet sister and took the Bulgari store. Anyway, Mr. Bai said, I can pick whatever I want, and Mr. Fu will pay for it anyway. .”

Wang Zi mustard: ...

Shen Tiandong: ...

Bai Jiang: ...

Bai Jiang clutched his head, remembering the balance in the bank card that had been chopped off with a splash, and kicked the driver's seat viciously.

He made it clear on the phone: Mr. Fu paid for all the gifts, as a subsidy for driving and carrying bags during the holidays, and Kevin can choose one from SKP.

That's it, don't you know how to use your brain? !

Does the leader say that you can pick at will so that you can pick at a higher price? !I don't know any workplace rules.

The treasure of the town store, how much does it cost?He had never picked such an expensive gift for Xu Ziqin.

Bai Jiang gritted his teeth, and said leisurely after a while: "Kevin, drive hard, Bulgari's money will be deducted from your salary."

Kevin:! !

Wang Zijie kept bowing his head to return to Qin Yuan's news. He didn't hear the first half of the sentence, but he heard "deducted from salary".

Qin Yuan's dinner party was a four-star Cantonese restaurant on the third ring road, decorated in a stylish ink painting style, but Wang Zijie said, "sexually frigid".

"Late Wind Listening to Rain" box.

On the sofa, Qin Yang was chatting with Wang Zhizhi, chatting about a piece of rough rough stone with good water quality to be hollowed out for her to make a jade bracelet, and the leftovers could be ground into beads to make earrings and pendants.

Beside the window sill, the gauze curtain was lifted, Qin Ziping was drinking tea, looking at the young man beside him from time to time.

Qin Yuan chatted with a well-mannered man wearing glasses about the bank's new wealth management products, and it looked like Qin Ziping's boyfriend.

The waiter pushed open the door of the box, a wave of heat rushed straight to his head, and the four people in the back room all looked at Xu Ziqin.

"Xiaoqin!" Wang Zhizhi got up and hugged him, "I'm finally looking forward to you! Last time I had a whole meal, this time I have to have a good meal, catch up on the old days, my aunt hasn't talked to you for a long time It's been a day, I just returned to China not long ago, I feel a little uncomfortable, right?"

"Little Qin!" Qin Ziping put her arms around him again, her eyes circled around him, "You've grown taller, and you've lost weight! Why haven't you changed at all? I've gained five pounds of flesh after graduating from college, and I'm about to die of fat No! I dare not drink sugar-free cola."

Bai Jiang helped Kevin carry the gift box evenly, and followed Shen Tiandong and Wang Zijiao into the door.The room was very lively, and each of them exchanged greetings in a hurry.

Qin Yang arranged for everyone to take their seats and arranged for the waiter to serve the dishes.After taking two bites, Qin Ziping winked at his brother: "Would you like to introduce this handsome guy next to you?"

Wang Zijie pulled Shen Tiandong to stand up: "Shen Tiandong, graduated from the University of London."

Xu Ziqin scolded angrily: "Okay! It's not a special job fair, but you still apply to the school? Why don't you apply for yourself?"

Prince mustard slapped him.

Wang Zhidao: "Xiao Shen is not the same as he looks in the video."

Qin Yang said: "During the video chat, I thought he was only 180 tall. I didn't expect him to be so much taller than Zijie?"

"Auntie!" the prince couldn't help but be embarrassed, "Are you praising him or hurting me! If you want to blame it, blame our family's bad genes. I can't be tall and it can't be all due to me."

After that, he slapped Xu Ziqin and said, "My cousin is shorter than me!"

Xu Ziqin originally drank the soup with gusto, but suddenly a high-strength bomb was thrown on his head, and it exploded immediately. With the soup still in his mouth, he wanted to interrupt: "I..."

"Don't hurt the innocent..." Bai Jiang glanced at Wang Zijiao, "The project proposal for investment from the financial studio of you and Shen Tiandong is still on my desk, I haven't read it yet, whether Jin Qin voted or not , what I say!"

"Cousin!" The prince was furious, "He lacks intelligence! Using the public to seek his own personal gain!"

Shen Tiandong smiled and raised his glass to toast the elders. The whole family knew about Shen Tiandong and Wang Zijie, so there was nothing strange about it.

Three or two glasses of wine poured into my stomach, and I was drunk.

"Let me introduce you." Wang Zhidao, "Ziping's boyfriend."

The tall boy wearing glasses who had been eating quietly all the time got up obediently: "Zhang Qifeng, He Ziping is a college classmate, and he will get his certificate by the end of this year."

"So soon?" Wang Zijie yelled, "I'm going to be an uncle next year?"

Xu Ziqin went to the bathroom and saw Kevin standing outside the door, so she couldn't bear it, so she asked her to come in and have something to eat.

Kevin refused to agree, saying that it was inappropriate, but he was dragged into the private room by the hot Qin Yangsheng and ate two mouthfuls.

Kevin felt awkward everywhere, and when he swept across the neatly stacked large and small packages of presents on the floor, she, who was eating roast duck, was still thinking about the unfinished task, so she changed the subject again.

There were too many presents, and the three elders really had no place to put them, so they had to trouble Bai Jiang to drive all the presents back to their respective homes.Zhang Qifeng brought three boxes of red wine, saying that he entrusted a friend to buy them in Bordeaux, France.

The moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the Aston Martin parked downstairs in the community.

Qin Yang hugged Xu Ziqin: "It's just a meal, why do you make a big fuss? I don't even need to buy a bunch of luxury goods. I'm too old to love beauty."

Kevin got out of the car with a box of red wine in his arms: "Who said this is imported Bordeaux? I just sent a box to Mr. Fu last month. It looks like a fake brand on the domestic market!"
