Xiao Mei was surprised by Yu Ying's words.""I didn't expect you to have such an experience after you graduated. This is the first time I've heard you talk about it. This guy was too outrageous. He was clearly looking down on others because his father was the township head. No one could take this lying down. No wonder you wanted to find a partner in Guangzhou. I admire your ambition! With your current conditions, you don't have to worry about finding a good and suitable person in Guangzhou.”Xiao Mei thought for a moment and said,"It's just that you have to be careful when looking for a partner in Guangzhou." I heard that young men and women in this place are very casual when they fall in love. After two people meet, they don't register or get married. They live together first. It's called a "trial marriage". This was a bad custom. He could try anything but this. What if the marriage didn't work out? Wouldn't the woman lose her chastity? Are you--”Xiao Mei sized up Yu Ying.
"What are you thinking? I'm not that kind of person. How can I sleep with someone and do that kind of thing? Guangzhou people are Guangzhou people, I am still me. You know that there are so many male classmates in the county who are pursuing me so passionately. Have you heard of anyone I've done that with? This time, I was set up by someone. Unknowingly, I got on the pirate ship.”
"Set up a trap? This was even worse! After that, you didn't sue him and let him be punished by the law?”Seeing that Yuying didn't say anything, Xiaomei said,""With your unyielding character, are you going to let this matter rest just like that? That was impossible! You definitely won't let him off."
"Sue him? Why didn't I think of that? I've thought about it more than once! After that, I slept for a whole day and night. Tears flowed again and again. I even wrote the complaint. I thought about it over and over again, from different angles: Sue him and let him be punished by the law. His reputation will be ruined and the hatred in my heart will be relieved. However, what can I gain by doing this? Other than ruining his own reputation and embarrassing himself, he would not get anything. As the villagers say, if you kill the weasel, you will end up in a bad mood. In the end, both sides suffered. No one had the face to do so, and no one had a good time. He was a big boss with assets of more than 100 million yuan. He would still be a big boss after he came out. What about me? How could a foreign worker girl marry in the future with this reputation? How could he continue to stay in Guangzhou? He could only go home dejectedly. However, would it be easy to go home? The matter with the township head's son also caused a stir. His parents had opinions, and the villagers also had various comments. My reputation has been ruined both at home and abroad. Think about it, who will want me in the future? Wouldn't he be scolded to death by his family? Shamed to death by his hometown people? He could not do such a thing that harmed others and did not benefit himself. It's just that if I let him off just like that, I'll be at a huge disadvantage if I let him off too easily. I'll be wronged to death! Therefore, after thinking about it, the best way was to take the opportunity to kill him and make him bleed. He had plenty of money and was concerned about his face, so he was willing to spend money to avoid disaster. What he lacked was money, and he was also afraid of losing face, so he opened his mouth like a lion and asked for a large sum of money. It was also considered to vent his anger. Just like that, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai. One was willing to beat him, and the other was willing to suffer. Both of them were willing, and it was a win-win situation. And in the end? It's also a deal that doesn't come true. We actually became good friends: I still ask him for help when I have something to do, and he also needs my help in some areas, so he no longer hates me. It was not easy to be outside. It was better to help each other and be kind to others. What's so good about bearing grudges and taking revenge? I'm breaking the law by killing people."
Xiao Mei was shocked." You've become friends and helped each other?" Aren't you afraid that he will continue to plot against you?”
"I won't." Yu Ying nodded repeatedly. After this incident, I understood his character, and he also understood my methods. We got along and interacted with each other, but we were also wary of each other.”
Xiaomei was confused by Yuying's words. She didn't know what had happened to her, or who had set her up. Yuying wasn't married yet, and it wasn't appropriate to ask about this matter, for fear of touching her scars and causing her to be sad and embarrassed. He said," It's over. Forget it. You should learn your lesson and pay more attention in the future to avoid such a thing from happening again. Guangzhou was too big, and there were too many people from home and abroad. When the forest was big, there were all kinds of birds. Therefore, he had to be more vigilant in the future and strengthen his defenses to avoid being framed and such things happening again.”
Yuying nodded, then shook her head and said,""You should remember the lesson. If you don't do it well, you might ruin your life. However, it might not be possible to prevent such a thing from happening again. Because the human relations here were too complicated. Anything could happen at any moment, making it difficult to predict and impossible to guard against! The occurrence and development of things were restricted by various factors. The vast world and all living beings were not something that a small person like him could control. It was like a grain of sand being swept up in a torrent. It was impossible for it to settle down and stop moving.”
Xiao Mei disagreed and said,"According to what you said, there's no such thing as a hasty retreat?"”
Yuying pondered for a while and said,"It's easier said than done. For example, in your case, because we were classmates, I pitied Yu Lang's illness and sympathized with you and Dasheng's financial difficulties, so I introduced you. Now that Boss Zhang has agreed to your request and agreed to pay one million yuan, both of you have signed the agreement. It seems that this matter is imperative. If you can successfully survive a year and give birth to a child for him, you can take all one million. Everything will be fine and everyone will be happy. You, me, and him will be satisfied. However, do you know what else will happen in a year? For example, if you don't get pregnant or give birth within a year, will he still pay? Would he have other thoughts? For example, changing players was really unpredictable. So, now that things have come to this, I feel a little regretful. I regret that I shouldn't have pulled strings for you. I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, you'll all hate me and make it difficult for me to live.”
Xiao Mei said," I regretted it too. I regretted coming to Guangzhou and agreeing to this. However, if he didn't agree to this, where would he raise the money for Yu Lang's surgery? It was really a last resort. Now that I'm here and Boss Zhang has agreed to my request, I'm only thinking about how to get the money as soon as possible so that I can operate on Yu Lang and save his life. As for the other matters, I'll leave them to fate. I won't think about them. I understand that you have good intentions. It's all to help us solve our difficulties and save Yu Lang's life. No matter what the result is, we will thank you. You've already made the stakes clear. I did it willingly. Even if something goes wrong, I can't blame you. So, you don't have to worry about anything.”After saying that, she sighed." The heavens have eyes. Pity Yulang. Pity us poor people!" I hope that everything will be smooth sailing and no accidents will happen. A year later, Yu Lang's illness will be cured and he will be able to return to school. I will give birth to a child for Boss Zhang and he will have an heir to his career. I took the money and went home safely. From now on, I will bury my head in life and never come to Guangzhou again. I don't want to think about anything.”
Yu Ying nodded repeatedly and said,"I hope that the heavens will follow people's wishes and that good things will have a good outcome." I'm relieved to hear that. However, I still have to advise you: In order to prevent any accidents from happening, you have to be careful when you go. After spending so much time with him, I've also come to understand Boss Zhang. He's also a person with a personality and isn't too bad. After you go over, you have to think of ways to please him. He had money and wanted children. As long as you didn't annoy him, he wouldn't treat you badly. Therefore, you have to go along with him and act according to his expression. Don't make him unhappy. Everything will be easy to handle. Also, I hope that your stomach will work hard and give birth to a child for him as soon as possible. I hope that you can get back all the money and come back smoothly. I'll send you home properly. In this way, you, me, Dasheng, and all our worries can be completely put down.”She looked at Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei nodded seriously. Yuying was relieved. She raised her glass and said,"Come, let's toast to the smooth arrival of this day!"”
The two of them emptied their glasses of beer, and Yuying refilled them. Perhaps it was because they were close classmates and could not hide anything, or perhaps it was because Xiao Mei would not be able to meet and chat with Zhang Jingye for more than a year. Taking advantage of the alcohol, Yuying finished explaining Xiao Mei's matter and continued to talk about her own matters.
Yuying said that she had rejected the son of the township head, bid farewell to her parents, and came to Guangzhou to work with grief and indignation. She swore that she would never return home until she made a name for herself. She first worked as a worker in an electronics factory. She worked more than ten hours a day, and her monthly salary was less than 2,000 yuan. She could only get a little more than 2,000 yuan if she worked overtime and worked 12 hours a day. She had thought that she could learn a skill, but the workers were doing the same job every day. They could not learn a complete skill, so they could not do it themselves after leaving the factory. She persisted for more than a year and received her salary at the end of the year. She bought two decent clothes and had little left. He had wanted to go home, but when he looked at the money in his hand and thought about the oath he had made when he left home, he decided not to go home. As the New Year approached, the streets and parks were filled with happy people. There were also couples wearing red and green clothes with their arms around their shoulders. They were smiling brightly, making her feel even more lonely, poor, and desolate. So she decided to jump ship and check the job advertisements every day. There was good news after the new year. The Zhang Group was recruiting a female secretary. Many girls rushed to sign up. She also came to apply, but when she saw the conditions, she was dumbfounded. The job seeker required a university degree, between the ages of 20 to 35, and had a dignified appearance. She fulfilled two of the three conditions, but her academic qualifications were not enough. She was worried, but she did not give up. She found out that there was a private diploma in Guangzhou. She spent 300 yuan to apply for a university diploma and finally signed up. During the interview, she was anxious, afraid that the diploma would be found to be forged. However, he didn't discover it and was even accepted. He was really overjoyed! Later, she found out that the boss had taken a fancy to her appearance and eloquence, so he hired her as an extra. The boss had a big business and was very rich. He was a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist in Guangzhou City.
After becoming the boss 'secretary, her salary had risen to more than 3,000 yuan. She finally got rid of the hard labor of manual labor and entered the white-collar class. She was extremely happy and imagined how she could develop further, find her own happiness, and take root in Guangzhou. However, the good times did not last long. Something that happened not long after shattered her dream of developing in the white-collar class. One afternoon, when she had just started work, the boss solemnly told her that he was going to receive an important customer in the evening and sign a big order. He wanted her to accompany him to receive it. She thought it was a special encounter and readily agreed. She went back to her residence and dressed up seriously, waiting for the boss to inform her to go. At the banquet, the boss said that he was old and could not drink, so he asked her to accompany the guests to drink on his behalf. In order to thank the boss for his kindness, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink with him. She actually got drunk and passed out. The boss asked the waiter to help her into the guest room to rest. After sending off the client, the boss came to see her. Seeing that she was still drunk and unconscious, he raped her while she was drunk. When she woke up, she realized that she had been raped and was filled with grief. Alright, you're a boss. I was kind enough to drink for you, entertain your guests, and help you win a large order. You didn't say that you would reward me, but you even raped me when I was drunk. I won't let you off! After thinking about how to get revenge, he decided that it would be better to kill him and end it privately. He would know that he was not a pushover and could do whatever he wanted without losing face. He made up his mind and asked for a million yuan.
"He agreed to pay? He was so black-hearted. He wouldn't pull up his pants and deny it, right?”Xiao Mei asked.
"He wouldn't dare." Yu Ying said," You have to know that these big bosses have a common characteristic, which is reputation and face. They are more precious and valuable than money. Money could be earned once lost, but once reputation and face were lost, it would be difficult to earn money again. He listened to my request and didn't dare to deny it. He obediently paid me a million yuan. He only asked me to write a guarantee that I wouldn't sue him in the future. I didn't want to sue him, so I wrote a guarantee.”
"This matter is over?"
"It's over. The other party had already fulfilled all of your requests without any discount, so why are you still making a fuss? Besides, I wrote a guarantee."
"This guy is still the best. He sealed your mouth with a guarantee.”
"What's a guarantee? It wasn't a legal document. If I wanted to sue him, I could still sue him. It's just that if I do that, I'll lose both face and credibility. I'm not willing to do that unless I have to.”Yuying explained.
"Does your boss know about this?”
"He's a veteran in the business world. What situation has he not experienced? I just didn't say it."
"Can you continue being a secretary now that things have come to this?”Xiao Mei asked.
"Naturally, it's not good to continue working." Yuying shook her head and continued to talk about the future.
With the one million yuan, she was afraid that something similar would happen again, so she quit her job as a secretary. He thought that he couldn't just sit around and eat. Thinking that this matter could not be over just like that, she went to find her boss and said that she had opened a company's merchandise exhibition store in Guangzhou, which specialized in displaying and selling the company's excellent products. She was both advertising and doing business, and she asked her boss to support her. The boss had a lingering fear and wanted to use this to win her over and threaten her. He would approve the supply of her company's excellent products at the ex-factory price, and the payment would be settled after she sold them. Due to the low price, small profits and high turnover, her exhibition store had been expanding over the years. She had opened many branches and earned several million yuan. So she bought a house, a car, hired a salesperson and a business manager, and became her own boss.
Because her shop was under the company's banner, and the company directly provided cheap goods, she had a constant connection with the boss. They often interacted, and the old grudges gradually disappeared. They even developed some feelings. Once, she went to the general manager's office to ask the boss to approve the goods. The boss gave her a special price, and she expressed her gratitude. The boss waved his hand to let her sit down and then told her his difficulties. The boss said that he was getting old and was almost 60 years old. Because his wife was sick and could not give birth, there was not a boy or girl. The huge enterprise group was facing the panic of having no successor. Therefore, he had the desire to give birth to a child. He hoped that she could introduce him to a suitable candidate in the rural area of northern Jiangsu. She didn't dare to agree. She said that rural people were very feudal. How could they be willing to do such a thing? However, he didn't reject her outright. Unexpectedly, she went home to visit her relatives and met Xiao Mei in the county town. She said that Yu Lang had leukemia and urgently needed a bone marrow transplant, but it was expensive and difficult to raise money. She remembered the boss's request and told Xiao Mei about it.
Xiao Mei listened to Yuying's bizarre story of working hard to make a fortune. She suddenly came to a realization and asked,"The boss you mentioned is Zhang Jingye, right?”Yuying realized that she had said something wrong and tried to cover it up,"No, no. No matter who he is, he's just a bastard." Xiao Mei saw that Yu Ying didn't admit it, so she didn't ask further. She was certain that this boss was Zhang Jingye. Thinking about how she was going to do the same thing as Zhang Jingye and take a million yuan from him, she was filled with emotions. The only difference was that Yuying didn't know about it beforehand and wanted to pursue it afterward. She knew beforehand that she had taken the bait willingly and signed the agreement. Actually, in the end, he was forced to do so. She was touched, but it was not convenient for her to explain. She could only say,"You've benefited from a disaster. Although you've been hurt, the result is not bad. I don't know what my fate will be. Now that the contract had been signed, there was no room for repentance, so he didn't care about it. It was a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that could not be avoided. Come, drink!" She raised her glass and toasted Yuying. Yuying refilled her glass after she finished drinking and was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Mei saw that Yuying refused to admit what had happened between her and Zhang Jingye, so she didn't want to embarrass her further. She changed the topic and said,""Now that you have a house, a car, and a career, you should consider your own matters. You can't live alone for the rest of your life, right? Guangzhou was an open city with a large pool of talents. If there was a suitable person, he would find one and marry him.”
Being unmarried at the age of 30 was Yuying's biggest worry at the moment, and also the thing she was most afraid of mentioning. She sighed and said,"After so many ups and downs, I often think the same way: Since she was still young and beautiful, and had a certain foundation in her finances, she should find a suitable husband as soon as possible. That way, she would have someone to rely on and a home to belong to. However, it was easier said than done for older youths to fall in love and get married. He had never met a suitable one all these years. Do you think it was easy for me to get to where I am today? She was not willing to marry a wage earner, but marrying a boss was generally older and older. She felt awkward and unhappy, and she was afraid of being laughed at when she went home. Sigh! I often worry about myself too."
"Guangzhou is so big and you know so many people. Is there no one suitable for you?" You're a boss now, and you're rich. Your standards are too high, aren't they?”He asked again and again.
Hearing this, Yu Ying hesitated for a long time and said,""I'm most afraid of talking about this. You know, my marriage hasn't been going well. In school, there were so many suitors, and I chose a few, but all of them ended up in vain. When he returned home, he met the son of the township head again. They quarreled and finally parted on bad terms. When he came to Guangzhou, he was framed by his boss. Although I know that I'm getting old and should get married as soon as possible, I can't help but feel sad when I think of those things. However, there has been some progress recently. Someone introduced me to a university teacher surnamed Liao. He has just returned from studying abroad and is in his thirties. I met him and felt that he was not bad. I don't know if I can get along with you in the future. I don't know what the final result will be, so I didn't dare to tell you.”
Xiao Mei was very happy to hear this. She said,"This condition is not bad. The age is also suitable. It just meets your requirements." You have to hold on tight and chase after him. Try to get married within a year. I'll come out next year and enjoy your wedding.”
"I hope so," said Yuying. Your agreement has expired, you have returned successfully, and I have a successful relationship. I'm happy to get married. Good things come in pairs. I'll definitely invite you to be my bridesmaid.”
When Xiao Mei heard this, she thought about the year of life that was about to begin. She could not control it and was completely at the mercy of others. It was unimaginable. Fortune and misfortune were unpredictable. She could not help but feel sad. He sighed and said," You have a good life. You can turn misfortune into good fortune. Now that you're worth tens of millions and have become a big boss, you don't have to worry about finding someone with good conditions. You'll definitely succeed." When Dasheng and I got married, you were my bridesmaid. When you get married, I really want to be your bridesmaid! But when I left, I felt like I was in a cage, at the mercy of others, and had completely lost my personal freedom. A year later, she still didn't know if she was a human or a ghost. What would she look like? She still wanted to be a bridesmaid?”As she spoke, tears began to flow down her face.
"Don't worry," Yu Ying quickly comforted her. According to my understanding of Zhang Jingye over the years, although he is a bit lecherous, his heart is not bad. Especially when it came to young and beautiful women, not only was he generous, but he also had some tenderness and knew how to love them. You're so beautiful and so young, and he's looking forward to you bearing his child. I can guarantee that he will definitely love you. The clothes, food, housing, and other living conditions will definitely not be wrong. Wait for a year or so, and you give birth to a child for him. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, he'll be very happy. He might even reward you with an additional sum of money. You don't have to worry about me. I'll borrow your good words today. If I can get married to Mr. Liao as I wish, I'll definitely invite you to be my bridesmaid.”
Xiao Mei wiped her tears and shook her head." I'm just saying. You don't have to wait for me to come out and be your bridesmaid. Once the two of you are done talking and are willing, hurry up and get married." Even if I come out, my body is not clean, so I'm not qualified to be your bridesmaid.”"What nonsense are you talking about? "We came to Guangzhou to earn money. No matter what we do, it's the same goal. As for humans, you are still you and I am still me. We are still good classmates and good friends. If I was afraid of this, would I still tell you about my false information? Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you."
Xiao Mei still shook her head. Giving birth was not about buying things. As long as one had money, they could buy them at the store. Although she was pregnant for ten months, she could only calculate the time after she was pregnant. He didn't know when he would get pregnant. It was hard to calculate the time. As for the money, Boss Zhang promised to give me one million yuan, which is already a lot. I don't expect him to give me any additional rewards. I only hope that with this one million yuan, I can finish Yulang's surgery as soon as possible. The child will recover and go to school like before. I'll return home safely in a year's time. The whole family will be reunited, and the matter won't be exposed. Our family of three will still live well as before.”
Seeing Xiaomei's worry, Yuying encouraged her,""Didn't you say that according to the queue, the next person to receive the bone marrow transplant would be Yu Lang? Now that he had money, things would be easier. Send the money back tomorrow and tell Dasheng to inform the provincial hospital as soon as possible. Tell them that the surgery fee has been prepared. Once there is a suitable bone marrow, tell them to immediately inform Yu Lang to go for the surgery. Don't worry. Medical technology is so advanced now, and the hospital's conditions are so good. The surgery will definitely be successful. A year later, when you return home with the remaining hundreds of thousands, you will see a healthy and lively Yu Lang studying in school. You and Dasheng, use this money to open a processing plant or a shop, and your days will be rich!”
Xiao Mei listened to Yu Ying's words and thought about Yu Lang's recovery. She also revealed a rare smile and said,"I've made such a huge sacrifice, and I've been looking forward to this day!”
Seeing that there was no more beer, Yuying asked the waiter to bring two more bottles. She filled their glasses and said to Xiao Mei,"Drink more today. If you go with Zhang Jingye tomorrow, we won't be able to see each other. It would be a year before they met again. I haven't told you yet. Zhang Jingye, that old thing, is afraid that I'll leak the news. He won't tell me your address, nor will he allow me to visit you. Please forgive me and don't blame me for not visiting you this year.”
Xiao Mei took a sip of beer and said,"I understand." It was clearly written in the agreement that I had to live within the boundaries set by him. I was not allowed to communicate with outsiders, talk to them, or interact with them. Since I've signed and taken their money, I have to carry it out.”After a pause, she took another sip of beer and continued,"To be honest, I don't want you to see me when I go to that place and do that kind of thing. If I saw them, they would be embarrassed and would only embarrass me. I've never told anyone about this. Remember! When you go home in the future, don't let it slip-this is my only hope for you in the future!”
"I know," Yu Ying said."This concerns your reputation, your family, and your relationship with Dasheng. I won't say anything."”She thought about it and asked Xiao Mei," I don't know what you told Dasheng about this. If I go home to visit my family, what should I say if he meets me and asks me about you?”
Xiao Mei blushed and said,"I didn't tell him about this or your situation here." If he asks you, you just say you don't know and haven't seen me. As for what I told him when I came to Guangzhou, I made up another lie to fool him. I'm really embarrassed to tell you the contents, and you don't have to know.”Yu Ying nodded in understanding.
That night, Yuying and Xiaomei talked about everything from their hometown to Guangzhou, from farming to working and doing business. They talked about everything yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He also drank a lot of wine. He poured a glass of wine after he finished it, and asked for another bottle after he finished it. After finishing the four dishes, he could not tell the difference between Cantonese and Huaiyang dishes. It was not until midnight, when the hotel closed, that they supported each other and stumbled all the way back to Yuying's place.
