It was not until they left the Heng Long Building and took a few breaths of the air outside that Xia Mang realized that he had been tricked. Thinking back to how he was able to laugh in front of a strong person like Heroine Ye, and now that he was being talked down by a man, this was the second stain on Xia Mang's life.
Of course, the first stain was her boyfriend cheating on her. To put it more accurately, it was complicated because her ex-boyfriend had cheated on her when he was still her boyfriend.
Xia Mang shook his head. Since he didn't have the courage to turn back, whether it was to deal with Wenhao or Cheng Mo, he might as well look forward and move on. There was one more thing to do before he went home. The location was Xiao Linghui's house. It was in the building behind Xiamang's house. His purpose was very clear. He wanted to ask for a gift. Therefore, when Xiao Linghui opened the door in his pajamas, Xiamang had already stretched out her hands with her palms facing up.
"Why aren't you coming in?" Xiao Linghui looked at Xia Mang, who was standing in front of the door without moving, and asked in confusion.
"Give me the gift and leave." Xia Mang didn't feel embarrassed at all when he said that.
"Then what if you don't?" Xiao Linghui smiled when he heard that.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll kick you downstairs!" Xiamang was furious when she heard that. She raised her leg and kicked him forward. Then, she used her hands and feet to grab Xiao Linghui as she complained,"You actually slept until now?" Ye 'zi grabbed me from the bed early in the morning, and you slept until now. This world is too unreasonable!”
Xiao Linghui dodged it and ran back to his room to change his clothes. The more Xia Mang thought about it, the more indignant she felt. She slammed the door hard and turned the lock, but it was locked from the inside. Xiamang, who had a belly full of anger and could not find a place to vent her anger, saw the door of the study room ajar. There were two large suitcases lying inside. They were the two that Xiao Linghui had magically conjured from his room before he boarded the plane yesterday. Out of curiosity, Xia Mang pushed the door open and entered. He took out a one-yuan coin from his coin pouch and tossed it up. When it landed on the ground, the coin with a flower on the front was facing up. Xia Mang put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly. He put the coin away and unzipped the two suitcases with a grin.
When Xiao Linghui changed his clothes and came out, he realized that Xiamang was not in the living room. He didn't hear the door close just now. He looked around and found Xiamang in the study room. It was Xiamang who was drooling at a suitcase full of gifts.
"Hui, are all these gifts for me? I thank you on behalf of the party and the people." Xiamang was holding gifts in both hands. There was also a long gift box under her left arm. When she looked up at Xiao Linghui, the expression on her face was no longer as simple as an idiot and a lovestruck fool.
Xiao Linghui remembered that there was a flat Barbie doll made of chocolate in the long gift box. Xia Mang held a Shi Family crystal in her left hand and a book in her right hand. Xiao Linghui remembered all of this clearly.
"You're getting greedier and greedier, Sammy." The gifts were really for Xiamang, but the moment she said it, the situation changed.
"Hui, how many can I choose?”Xiamang's lovestruck and idiotic expression immediately changed to that of a pitiful little bunny whose long ears were being pinched. She cried out miserably," The handsome, elegant, and imposing Brother Ah Hui that everyone loves.”
"Student Xiamang, please have some backbone!”Xiao Linghui's face was filled with black lines and the corners of his mouth twitched. Xiamang would only call him Brother Hui when she was asking for gifts or when she had something to ask of him. She would also add an attribute to the term depending on the situation. Usually, the more attributes, the better. It meant that the more requests she had, the more unreasonable she would be.
"Good!" Xia Mang, who was squatting on the ground, stood up with a whoosh and cheered loudly. His expression was firm, as if he had decided to change his face and start anew. He straightened his back, raised his head slightly, and moved the gift from his right hand to his left hand. He did it cleanly and neatly. The long box under his left arm did not move at all. He stretched out his empty right index finger and pointed at the luggage that was flat but had been turned upside down." This, this, and this. These are all mine, that's all."
Without waiting for Xiao Linghui to answer, she turned around and ran outside. After a while, she came in with a big bag. She found it somewhere and threw all the gifts that she had picked into the bag. One of them was neither picked nor picked by her, so Xia Mang threw it in. Xiamang carried the bag full of gifts on her shoulder and waved at Xiao Linghui, who was standing rooted to the ground. When she walked past him, she patted his shoulder and said heroically,"Comrade Xiao Xiao, you don't have to send me off.”
Xiamang was very kind and didn't say that they would meet again.
When he got home, he piled all the gifts on the bed and lay back on the bed to catch up on sleep. Xia Mang did not open his eyes when he heard the sound of a text message. He was only woken up when his parents came home from work and finished cooking.
Just as they finished their meal, their phone rang. It was Ye 'zi's concerned voice, asking if Xiamang's trouble had been resolved and if she, the resourceful Heroine Ye, needed to step in. Xiamang smiled and reassured her. She set a time and place for the four of them to have a meal together with Yanyan on Saturday. She hung up the phone and opened the text message. However, she was slightly stunned. She deleted the text message, took a shower, and went back to bed to sleep.
Father Xia and Mother Xia sat in the living room and looked in the direction of their daughter's room. Both of them sighed. The parents always felt that their child had fallen out of love and was definitely sad to be locked in her room. However, they did not dare to mention the past for fear of making her sad, and they were worried that she would be alone in her room early in the morning, afraid that she would let her imagination run wild. To Xiamang, breaking up was indeed a painful thing. Even now, he still felt like he was in a trance. He felt like everything was still a dream, and tomorrow, everything would go back to square one. After calming down, she understood that no matter how painful her heart was, she still had to move on. In order to avoid her parents 'worry, she should act more detached.
She put away the row of piggy banks on the bedside table one by one. There were a total of ten of them. They were Wen Hao's birthday gifts to her. Xia Mang liked this kind of piggy bank. Xu Wenhao had gone to many places to collect ten little golden pigs of different sizes but of the same style, color, and texture. He gathered a set and gave it to her.
Xiamang still remembered how excited she was when she received the gift. At that time, Wen Hao took out a heavy bag of coins from behind him and handed it to her. His handsome face was full of smiles as he looked at her gently and said, Xia Zi, happy birthday. Now, treat your little pig to cake.
Xia Mang smiled as he took the pills and placed them one by one, counting them in his heart. There were 230 of them, and each piglet got 23.
That year, Xiamang was 23 years old.
Xiamang went to work on time the next day. As they approached the office building, Xiamang stopped and did some yoga before walking forward with her head held high.
They didn't meet anyone from the same office in the elevator. As for the other colleagues, in the headquarters of such a large corporation, everyone had long learned to smile and be polite in front of the person involved. Even so, Xia Mang still felt that the gazes around her were not as sincere as before. In other words, the more sincere the smile on her face, the more professional it was.
"Good morning." The office door was open. When Xiamang entered, she bumped into Department Director Mr. Shu, who was coming out with a cup. The two of them smiled at each other and greeted each other.
Old Shu had a strong point. He never asked anyone else to do such personal things, whether it was washing teacups or tidying up the desk. Of course, the cleaning lady was responsible for the cleanliness of the office, but the cleaning lady was not responsible for such " private " matters. Ye 'zi had complained more than once that her boss, who had gone through menopause, would not only assign her office chores such as washing cups and watering plants to her employees, but she would also order her employees to run errands for her without blushing or gasping for breath. She also had to pay for car tickets, pay for the digital television at home, pay for her personal phone number, pay for the water and gas at home, pay for her children's school fees, and so on.
When Ye complained about this, it was entirely out of justice, or rather, she was " angry at the neighbor ". Because, for a powerful character like Swordswoman Ye, the female leader of the menopause couldn't do anything to her. After being rejected by Swordswoman Ye several times, the female leader would attack those " soft persimmons " who were resentful but didn't dare to show it in front of her. Swordswoman Ye said that she would take this salary to do her job well and live up to her conscience. Therefore, she was not afraid of her leader's retaliation.
Back to the topic, Old Shu went out to wash the cups. Xia Mang looked around the office and did not expect her to be the last to arrive today. The first person to greet her was naturally Mo Yan 'er. Her voice was light and crisp as she stood up and smiled at Xiamang."Little Xia, you're back. You look tanned. Did you have fun?”
"Yes, the sun is very bright." Xiamang also smiled at Mo Yan 'er and handed her a bag of gifts." There's nothing much to buy. It's just some shawls. Yan' er, help me distribute them to everyone."”
Seeing Mo Yan 'er take it, Xiamang walked straight to her seat and took out a can of Pu' er tea from her big bag, placing it on the desk behind her. This was for Old Shu. He loved tea.
"Ha, I don't dare to accept this shawl, nor can I accept it.”A few seconds after he sat down, he heard someone talking. It was Shi Jing. As soon as she finished speaking, the office, which was originally bustling with the distribution of gifts, instantly fell silent.
Xia Mang looked up and saw that there were nine pairs of eyes looking at him in the office with twelve desks. Xia Mang did not get up. He turned on his computer and placed the documents on the table while smiling."Since Xiao Shi doesn't like it, then don't accept it.”
For a moment, everyone shifted their gazes to Shi Jing. Everyone knew about the change in Heng Long Case yesterday. Now that the two parties involved were confronting each other for the first time after the incident, although they were colleagues and did not dare to take sides casually, it was understandable for them to watch the commotion and pay attention to the development of the situation.
"Can I like it? He had already come to snatch the job by hook or by crook, so how could he still be so eager to stick to him?”Shi Jing's voice was neither loud nor soft. She stood up abruptly and looked at Xia Mang." If you don't be careful, I might lose all my cases in a few days. When I pack up and leave, I don't even know how I ended up like this!"”
" Xiao Shi…" The one who spoke was Mo Yan 'er, but that was all. The truth was there, and everyone had doubts and concerns.
"I didn't steal Case. In fact, I only found out about it yesterday afternoon.”Xiamang stood up as well and looked at Shi Jing without flinching. She knew that if she did not make things clear, she could forget about having a good life in this office in the future. After such a thing happened, who wouldn't be wary of her in the future? It would be difficult to cooperate with them at work.
"If you didn't play tricks, why would Henglong ask for a replacement for no reason?”The matter became clearer.
"Perhaps you can ask President Yu in person.”Xiamang smiled. The message she received yesterday afternoon when she was catching up on sleep was from Yu Weitao.
"Is there a need to ask? If you break up, your boyfriend's backer will fall, and then you'll snatch my business. Do you want to have good results and keep your current position?”
" Xiao Shi..." This time, it was not just Mo Yan 'er. The rest of the people in the office also spoke up, pretending to persuade him to reduce the matter to a small one.
"Boyfriend's backer?" Xiamang chuckled. Indeed, that was what everyone thought." Yes, I got into the company through my connections, and there's a reason why I'm in my current position. However, I didn't rely on my connections to get into the company because of my boyfriend.”
"If you say no…"
Shi Jing wanted to retort, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard Old Shu's voice coming from the office door.""What are you arguing about? Don't you need to do anything?”
