When Tong Jiangxin heard this, the smile on her face became even bigger. She laughed and replied, "Look, you are so ignorant now?"
Li Mingyang didn't smile on the other end of the phone. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Jiang Xin..."
"kindness?"
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Li Mingyang's voice was a little low, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
The smile on Tong Jiangxin's face gradually faded, and there was a flash of loneliness in her eyes, but she quickly smiled again and replied, "What can I hide from you? Stop thinking nonsense."
.
This time Li Mingyang also replied quickly, "I checked the Evergrande and Taihua you just mentioned on the Internet. Not to mention the top 50, they can't even get into the top 500. Jiang Xin, what are you doing?
?”
Tong Jiangxin didn't expect that Li Mingyang was so quick to search on the Internet. She knew that she couldn't hide it this time, so she could only hesitate and said, "Oh, it's the same thing everywhere. Is there any difference?"
She tried her best to sound casual, but her eyes were actually starting to turn red.
Li Mingyang was not a fool. He thought for a moment and then asked aloud, "Jiang Xin, do you have any difficulties?"
The thorn in Tong Jiangxin's heart was pricked, and it hurt.
Frowning slightly, she felt that the expression on her face must be ugly. She pursed her lips tightly and did not answer immediately. It was not because she was not afraid that Li Mingyang would be suspicious, but she would definitely cry if she spoke now.
Li Mingyang didn't hear Tong Jiangxin's answer, and he was even more sure of his thoughts. His steady and low breathing came from the phone. After a while, he didn't speak.
Tong Jiangxin's tears flowed down her thick lower eyelashes. She didn't reach out to wipe them. She just took a deep breath and said as if unintentionally, "Oh, okay, don't think so much. In fact, where are you?"
The work is the same. My academic qualifications are here, and my salary will not be less than a penny. It may be lighter than that of a big company!"
She raised the corners of her lips, smiled, and shed tears.
Li Mingyang still didn't speak, but Tong Jiangxin could feel his sadness. She felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart, so she had to say, "Mingyang, it's too late. You go to bed early, I'm going to bed too."
"Well, good night."
Li Mingyang's voice was very low, as if he had a thousand words to say, but when the words came to his lips, nothing came out.
Tong Jiangxin said good night and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Leaning alone on the soft bedside, Tong Jiangxin looked at the familiar scenery in the room, but she felt inexplicably aggrieved and wanted to cry.
**** Before nine o'clock the next morning, Tong Jiangxin opened her eyes in bed. During this time at home, she had become accustomed to waking up naturally without the clock bell.
After getting out of bed, she took a shower and changed clothes. She originally wanted to go downstairs directly, but she caught a glimpse of the computer from the corner of her eye and remembered the resume she submitted yesterday, so she walked over and turned on the computer.
There were several unread emails displayed in the mailbox, and Tong Jiangxin's eyes couldn't help but light up. In fact, she hadn't received any reply recently. She was surprised to see the unread emails unexpectedly.
Sitting on the chair in front of the computer, Tong Jiangxin clicked the mouse. When she saw the words Evergrande and Taihua, she felt mixed emotions in her heart, including joy and sadness.
It seemed that she had a good idea. Lu Chengxi thought that she graduated from a prestigious school, had a high-spirited character, and would never compromise, so he only issued a warning to all the big companies in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, she not only refused to go to a company that was among the top 50, but even
None of the top 500 companies will go.
Looking at the words on the computer screen that Evergrande requested to go for an interview this afternoon, Tong Jiangxin's eyes were filled with thick black.
After replying to the email, Tong Jiangxin walked back to the bed, then picked up her cell phone and called Liao Jianing.
The phone rang several times before it was picked up, and Liao Jianing's sleepy voice came from inside, "Hello..."
Tong Jiangxin said, "If you can't afford it so late, you don't have to go to work?" Liao Jianing replied confusedly, "I won't go until next week..."
Tong Jiangxin said oh, and then said, "I just want to tell you that I have to go for an interview in the afternoon."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Tong Jiangxin seemed to hear the sound of Liao Jianing jumping up from the bed, and then said, "Interview? Which company?"
There was no sleepiness in Liao Jianing's voice, and he was full of life.
Tong Jiangxin sat beside the bed and casually replied, "It's from Evergrande."
"Evergrande?!"
Liao Jianing was deeply suspicious of this.
Tong Jiangxin knew this would be the consequence. She said disapprovingly, "I asked you, can you have a general understanding of all the companies in Hong Kong? Do you think that only the top 50 companies in the world are left? What's the point?
Don’t let local companies develop!”
Liao Jianing didn't have time to listen to Tong Jiangxin's verbosity. She said directly, "Wait, I'll see you at your house in an hour and a half!"
After that, she hung up the phone resolutely.
Tong Jiangxin looked at her phone and pursed her lips, feeling helpless.
Standing up, she left the bedroom and walked downstairs. She saw Uncle Cheng holding a flower pot in his hand. In the pot was a cluster of beautiful bamboos in bloom.
"Uncle Cheng, the new bamboo you bought? It's very beautiful."
Tong Jiangxin walked down the stairs while talking.
Uncle Cheng raised his eyes and saw Tong Jiangxin. He smiled and said, "Miss, look, I saw this when I went shopping for groceries this morning. People say this is a lucky bamboo. I want to buy it back to give you good luck."
Tong Jiangxin saw Uncle Cheng smiling. He was no longer young. When he smiled, there were deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but he held the flower pot in his hand like a treasure.
A warm current flowed through his heart, and Tong Jiangxin's eyes warmed slightly. He took the initiative to take the pot of bamboo, measured it carefully, and then said, "Well! Uncle Cheng has a good taste. I see how this bamboo looks to me, so we will
How about putting it in the lobby? That way I can see it every day when I come in."
Tong Jiangxin responded hard, with a big smile on her face.
Uncle Cheng nodded, and then immediately found a place for Tong Jiangxin to put down the flowerpot in his hand.
Tong Jiang said happily, "Uncle Cheng, Jia Ning will be coming over soon to make two more dishes."
Uncle Cheng nodded and replied, "Okay, I happened to buy lotus roots today, so I will make the steamed lotus root slices that Miss Liao likes to eat."
Tong Jiangxin responded, and Uncle Cheng went to the kitchen. She habitually walked from the side door to the back garden, put on a floral apron, took a water pipe, and started watering the flowers.
The sunshine at this time was abundant, but it did not bask in the sun. Tong Jiangxin was among the flowers, and her beautiful face was just like the delicate flowers blooming around her.
Although she and Uncle Cheng were the only two people in the entire Tong family now, she felt a sense of satisfaction and security that she had never felt before, because she knew that Uncle Cheng would not abandon her.
