Liao Jianing came to Tong's house, and the three of them had dinner together at noon. Liao Jianing had a sweet mouth and kept praising Uncle Cheng for making delicious steamed lotus root slices. Uncle Cheng smiled and said that he would come over often to play if he liked the food.
After eating, the two of them volunteered to stay and clean up, while Uncle Cheng went to the back garden to do other things.
Liao Jianing asked aloud, "Hey, do you really want to go to that Evergrande interview?"
Tong Jiangxin replied casually, "Of course I want to go."
Liao Jianing was speechless. After a while, he replied, "That is considered a second-rate company. How wronged you are to go there!"
Tong Jiangxin was a little aggrieved at first. Seeing Liao Jianing's look, she simply thought about it. With a faint smile, she replied, "What happened to the second-rate company? Who said we must join the biggest and best company as soon as we come out? Maybe
There is more room for development in Evergrande.”
Tong Jiangxin joked.
Liao Jianing rolled his eyes and then replied, "Ha, that's right. There is no one in the company who is as good as you. If you are capable, you can be promoted to the position of president!"
Tong Jiangxin smiled and did not answer.
After the two cleaned up, they went up to the second floor. Tong Jiangxin stood in front of the closet to get clothes. Liao Jianing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Tong Jiangxin's back. She said, "If the interview is successful, will you stay at Evergrande?"
Tong Jiangxin did not look back, but just replied, "Evergrande's interview is the earliest. In my current situation, there is nothing to criticize. If it looks good this afternoon, I will stay."
Liao Jianing let out a long sigh, suddenly lay on his back on the bed, and then said, "I really want to decline Dongzheng's invitation and go to Evergrande with you."
Tong Jiangxin put on a pullover tulle shirt-style top. She turned around and said to Liao Jianing, "Don't be impulsive. Leave Dongzheng alone and go to Evergrande with me. This is not loyalty, it is risk.
foolish!"
Liao Jianing didn't reply for a long time. Tong Jiang was pleased to see her motionless and walked to the bed.
Liao Jianing looked up at the curtain above her head. Her eyes were wide open and her eyes were red, and she was holding back tears.
Tong Jiangxin felt sour in her heart. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she pushed Liao Jianing deliberately and said as if unintentionally, "Oh, what are you doing? I'm going for an interview, not looking for death!"
Liao Jianing opened her tight lips and said, "Jiang Xin, I feel sorry for you..."
As her lips opened and closed, a large tear slipped from the corner of her eye, dripping on the pink and purple velvet sheets, and was sucked in instantly, disappearing.
Tong Jiangxin's heart felt hot. She couldn't tell whether she was aggrieved or moved. She also wanted to cry, but she had to hold back.
Looking at the retro clock on the wall, it was still a while before the interview, so she simply lay down on her back, shoulder to shoulder with Liao Jianing, and looked at the pink and purple curtain above her head.
Time passed by, and Tong Jiang slowly spoke, "Do you still remember, we used to do this when we were children, lying on the bed and not saying anything?"
Liao Jianing's voice was very low, with a hint of surprise, and she replied, "Back then, you always liked these princess things, and you wouldn't get tired of them even if you stared at them for a long time."
Tong Jiangxin raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly, as if she had thought of something, she said out loud, "You always fall asleep after watching it for ten minutes."
Liao Jianing paused for a while, and then said, "No way? At least half an hour, okay?!"
Tong Jiangxin smiled silently. So many years have passed. Although they are still lying side by side now, and although it is still the same big bed that has not changed at all, things have changed.
In just half a year, her family was ruined, she graduated from a prestigious school, but she was bullied into working in a second-rate company. Liao Jianing was the same. Although she never complained or even showed pain, Tong Jiangxin knew that Liao Jianing was sad in her heart.
Yes, there is a kind of bravery called doing something when you know it is impossible to do. Liao Jianing knew that the law her father had committed was impossible to save, but she still decided to fight the lawsuit. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a bit cruel, but
Tong Jiangxin knew that Liao Jianing just wanted to spend more time with her father, even if it was standing in the courtroom, across the fence.
Reaching out to touch Liao Jianing's hand, Tong Jiangxin said, "Jianing, don't worry about me, you know me. I'm not someone who gives up easily. As long as I'm not willing to fall, no one can defeat me!"
"
Liao Jianing's fingers trembled slightly, and finally she held Tong Jiangxin's hand. She took a deep breath to put back the tears in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Okay, we, a pair of troubled sisters, must support each other.
I support you!"
Tong Jiangxin was smiling, but she couldn't help but shed tears.
The two of them talked for a while in the room. Seeing that the time was almost up, Tong Jiangxin stood up and said, "Aren't you fine today? Come with me for an interview. If successful, we will take Uncle Cheng out for dinner in the evening."
Liao Jianing nodded, then the two of them tidied up and walked out of the bedroom.
Glancing at the lucky bamboo placed in the hall, Tong Jiangxin said, "Lucky Bamboo, please bless me to succeed today. If you are really smart, I will water you every day in the future."
Liao Jianing said, "Don't worry, with the lucky bamboo and me and Uncle Cheng, you will definitely be able to do it."
The two went to the back garden to say hello to Uncle Cheng, and then Liao Jianing drove Tong Jiangxin to Evergrande.
Evergrande is a local company in Hong Kong without any foreign investment. It is considered medium-sized and is actually a good company. However, people like Tong Jiangxin and Liao Jianing who studied in the United States and only know about the world's top 50 companies in their natural consciousness,
Just not very familiar with it.
Tong Jiangxin had already chosen the address. When the car parked in a new area in Central, Liao Jianing looked at the dozens of stories high building in front of him and said, "It's not bad, at least it's better than I imagined."
Tong Jiangxin opened the car door and got out of the car, and then said, "I'm just telling you that you are born to admire foreign things. Where do you get so many prejudices? Isn't this great!"
Liao Jianing curled her lips and said, "As long as you are happy."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the lobby of Evergrande. After explaining their intentions clearly, the lobby service staff asked them to take the elevator upstairs.
In the elevator, Liao Jianing said, "You said they asked you to come over because they must not know the Hong Kong-wide order in Lu Chengxi. But if they knew you were a member of the Tong family, wouldn't they refuse too much?"
Tong Jiangxin had thought about this a long time ago, and she said helplessly, "There is no other way now. I can only pray that the interviewer does not recognize me, or else they will force me to fake my identity?"
