No matter how close brothers and sisters are, they must also know how to behave appropriately.

No matter how close brothers and sisters are, they must also know how to behave appropriately.

"Brother, brother, I heard that you are going to Japan again? When will you go? Can you take me with you?"

Hearing Qiao Simei's series of questions, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned. Before he could think of how to answer, Cao Lili next to him objected with a straight face: "What are you talking about? Brother is going to do business, big things."

, it’s not just for fun. Besides, you have to go to school, so how can you have time to go?”

Qiao Simei pouted and said, "Can I take a day off?"

"What are you asking for?" Cao Lili continued to lecture her sister with a straight face, "Your homework is finally in the middle of the pack. If you ask for leave again and fail so many classes, you will definitely be at the bottom again. How can this be okay?"

"Then I can come back to make up lessons." Qiao Simei suddenly looked at Cao Lili with big eyes.

"Make up a lesson?" Cao Lili curled her lips, "I want you to make up a lesson. Either it hurts here or somewhere, it doesn't hurt somewhere, it just feels uncomfortable here. I don't believe you anyway."

Qiao Simei pursed her lips, turned to look at Cao Zhiqiang, and kept saying coquettishly: "Brother, brother, look at sister, she is bullying me again! Can you talk to her this time and agree to take me to Japan?"

I don’t need to go more than three days, just one week. I’ll only go for one week. I won’t miss much homework.

After I come back from Japan, I will study hard, make up for the missed homework, and ensure that my test scores are in the top thirty, okay?"

At this moment, Cao Lili suddenly put down her chopsticks, looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a serious face and said: "Brother, let me express my position first, this time, no matter what, you can't spoil Simei anymore!

She is still a child and has very poor self-control. If you continue to behave like this, she will really become useless!"

Qiao Simei rolled her eyes and quickly said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Brother, how about this? This time you take Sister Dongfang to Japan with you! In this case, she can teach me my lessons there, so that I can

You can play and don’t have to worry about missing out on your homework.”

Speaking of this, Qiao Simei turned to look at Xiang Dongfang, who was just smiling and eating without interrupting: "Sister Dongfang, don't you know Japanese? Let's go to Japan together, and you can teach me some Japanese!"

"Qiao Simei!" Cao Lili stared at Qiao Simei, "That's enough for you, don't push yourself further!"

Seeing that Cao Lili was angry, Cao Zhiqiang quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, stop arguing and have a good meal. Why are you making a fuss over a trivial matter?"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang said to Qiao Simei: "Simei, my trip to Japan this time is indeed a business matter, not much personal matter. It is not appropriate to take you there because I don't have time to play around with you.

And your sister is right, it's school time now and you can't miss your homework.

How about this, when you are on your winter vacation, I will take you to Japan to soak in hot springs, ski, and have a lot of fun, how about it?"

When Qiao Simei heard this, she blinked and said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "But there is a premise. In the final exam before the winter vacation, you must be among the top twenty in the class. If you can do it, I will take you there. If you can't do it, then forget it.

Already."

"Top twenty?" Qiao Simei immediately frowned, "This is too difficult."

"What's so difficult?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "Look at your sister, who used to be over thirty in the class, but now she ranks eighth in her grade in the quiz."

Upon hearing this, Cao Lili said quickly: "Thanks to Sister Dongfang for her good teaching. Without her tutoring me day and night and teaching me many tips, I would not have progressed so fast. So, brother,

You have to thank people properly and give them some gifts."

When Cao Zhiqiang heard this, he quickly raised a cup of tea and said to Xiang Dongfang: "Dongfang, my sister is right. Thanks to your help, my two sisters' grades have improved rapidly. I am here to thank you with tea instead of wine.

"

Xiang Dongfang quickly raised his tea cup: "President, you killed me. I deserve this. After all, you let me live in such a good house and didn't charge me rent. It's me who should be grateful."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, shook his head and stood up: "Dongfang, your words are too polite. In fact, I have wanted to express my gratitude to you for a long time, but I just never had the chance.

After all, you not only tutored Lili and Simei, but also helped my girlfriend Qinghong a lot.

Qinghong kept telling me that she wanted me to thank you very much. After all, you helped her a lot. Without you, she would not be able to keep up with the progress of college.

It's just that she has to study in the evening now, so she can't come over to have dinner with us.

But it doesn’t matter, I’ll thank you on her behalf first, and it will be the same if she thanks you alone later.”

Xiang Dongfang stood up and said, "It's really not necessary."

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Hey, if you continue to shirk, you are looking down on me. Besides, this isn't wine, it's just tea. Come on, let's touch one first."

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Xiang Dongfang had no choice but to clink the tea cups with Cao Zhiqiang, but when they clinked the cups, the rim was deliberately lower than Cao Zhiqiang's.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't force himself. After clinking glasses with each other, they drank up the tea in each other's cups before sitting down again.

After Xiang Dongfang also sat down, Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "Dongfang, don't be formal. I told you, this is a private family dinner, and we are all old friends, so there is no need to be cautious."

Xiang Dongfang chuckled, but still sat aside politely.

Seeing her like this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed secretly and said nothing more.

I thought that this second-generation official would be as free and easy as before, but who knew that she would be so cautious about herself now, which was a bit beyond Cao Zhiqiang's expectation.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang stopped thinking about this. After all, this time it was really just a family dinner, and the only people eating together were him, Cao Lili, Qiao Simei and Xiang Dongfang.

There was supposed to be Wu Qinghong, but Wu Qinghong had classes in the evening and didn't come.

As for why I ate this meal, it was actually mainly because I listened to Wu Qinghong’s suggestion and came here specifically to thank Xiang Dongfang.

Because Cao Zhiqiang heard from Wu Qinghong that during this period, Xiang Dongfang, after returning from get off work, not only had to make up lessons for Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, but also Wu Qinghong, and was often busy until late at night.

That's okay. Dongfang's tutoring on key items is very efficient. He basically answers all questions and is very patient.

Leaving aside the situation of Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, at least Wu Qinghong herself feels that she has benefited a lot.

Wu Qinghong's original academic foundation was insufficient. She was able to get into college only because of Cao Zhiqiang's cheating.

Therefore, once Wu Qinghong entered college, she soon felt that it was difficult, but she was only in the first half of her freshman year.

In order to catch up with the progress and avoid being an undergraduate, Cao Zhiqiang recommended Xiang Dongfang to Wu Qinghong as Wu Qinghong's tutor.

After Wu Qinghong gave it a try, she immediately felt Xiang Dongfang's ability, so in order to catch up with her study progress and increase the efficiency of tutoring, she simply moved out of her courtyard house and lived with Xiang Dongfang.

Xiang Dongfang lived with Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, so after Wu Qinghong came over, she could also enhance her relationship with her two future sisters-in-law, which could be said to serve multiple purposes.

To be honest, at the beginning, Wu Qinghong was a little inferior and worried. After all, she found that her talent, learning and temperament were not as good as Xiang Dongfang's, and Xiang Dongfang was also Cao Zhiqiang's personal secretary. In theory, the contact time between the two would be longer than hers, which would be very difficult.

I'm afraid that Cao Zhiqiang will fall in love with someone else.

After all, compared with Xiang Dongfang, Wu Qinghong felt that she was inferior everywhere.

Fortunately, Gu Zhenzhen enlightened Wu Qinghong in time, told Wu Qinghong her strengths and weaknesses, and taught her what to do.

According to Caregiver Zhenzhen, since the knowledge and temperament cannot be compared, then the mind can be compared.

Just like the first wives in ancient times, they may not be as talented and beautiful as their concubines, but as long as they are not jealous and are generous enough, they can still hold a man's heart.

In other words, Wu Qinghong should not compare herself with other women who are not good at it, but should give full play to her own advantages.

What is Wu Qinghong's advantage is that she and Cao Zhiqiang were the earliest, and she was Cao Zhiqiang's officially recognized girlfriend.

As long as Wu Qinghong doesn't do anything wrong and doesn't make Cao Zhiqiang annoying, then she will have a first-mover advantage and have a very important place in Cao Zhiqiang's mind.

As for other women, since they can't be stopped and can't be compared with each other, then let's just not compare them and show an open and tolerant attitude.

The more this happens, the more it will make men feel guilty, and it will also make other women feel guilty, which will allow them to maintain their status.

Wu Qinghong had no choice but to adopt this method and tried it on Yu Yuanyuan, and the results were remarkable.

Not only that, Wu Qinghong also talked to Xiang Dongfang in private and made it clear that she had no objection to Xiang Dongfang liking Cao Zhiqiang. She also said that she had no objection to Xiang Dongfang being good to Cao Zhiqiang. It was even okay for the two women to serve the same husband. As long as Cao Zhiqiang liked it, Xiang Dongfang agreed.

She has no problem here.

It was these remarks that frightened Xiang Dongfang and made him feel awkward.

You know, although Xiang Dongfang has a good impression of Cao Zhiqiang, it is just a kind of admiration for Qiang and the love of finding similar people.

After all, Xiang Dongfang himself is a genius, and she thinks Cao Zhiqiang is also a genius, so when geniuses talk to geniuses together, they will feel very relaxed and have common topics.

Unlike chatting with other vulgar ordinary people, Xiang Dongfang always feels very painful.

However, no matter how comfortable I felt when I was with Cao Zhiqiang, I still felt proud in my bones.

Let Xiang Dongfang be a mistress, or even compete with other women for a man's favor, which she can't do.

Therefore, Xiang Dongfang not only repeatedly told Wu Qinghong that she had no such idea and that her relationship with Cao Zhiqiang was just a normal working relationship, but she also wanted to find an opportunity to discuss the situation with Cao Zhiqiang.

She never had a chance before, but now, she seems to have found an opportunity.

"President Cao." Xiang Dongfang suddenly said after considering his words, "That's right, I recently found a new house, which is pretty good, so I want to move out in the near future. I want to tell you."

"New house? Move out?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Dongfang, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the original house?"

"Yes, Sister Dongfang." Cao Lili also followed, "Did we do something wrong? Or do you think we are too annoying?"

"No." Xiang Dongfang chuckled, "It's just that, thanks to President Cao, my income has been pretty good recently, so I want to rent a house alone and have a separate space."

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang looked at Cao Lili and Qiao Simei, smiled slightly and said: "I'm not saying that it's not good to live with you, nor that I don't like you or find you annoying, but sometimes, my sister wants it too."

A place of solitude where one can have a good rest.”

"Ah, I understand!" Qiao Simei suddenly said, "Sometimes, I also want to have a space where I can be alone, a place where no one is around. I can understand Sister Dongfang's thoughts and feel the same way!"

After glaring at Qiao Simei, Cao Lili looked at Xiang Dongfang: "Sister Dongfang, did you really move out because you hated us?"

"It's really not." Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly, "I like you quite a lot, but you don't have to be together all the time. It might be better to have a little distance and space between each other, don't you think?"
