Chapter 592: Stepmother's Journey
During the hot summer vacation, the university class group is extremely active, mainly because at this stage, they have not made new friends and their lives have not changed much.
Some people complained in the group that the tutor was not a human being and that he was needed to pick up the children.
Some complained that they had been deceived, saying that only after entering the workplace did they realize that their job was still a joke.
There are also some people who show off their villas when they have nothing to do.
In addition, there are rumors that Geng Lei has successfully started a business because he posted a photo of an office with a shadow of a man in a suit reflected in the office window.
This guy deliberately chose the last day to defend his thesis. He didn’t even meet his roommates and didn’t attend the subsequent graduation ceremony. He is definitely a cool and aloof male god.
In short, everyone's July is wonderful in different ways.
The one who suffered the most was Zhong Wenjing. Gu Ming arranged for her to study Heytea's revenue statement and read a bunch of city managers' reports every day, intending to let her adapt to the rhythm in advance and then enter Heytea's management level.
As a result, after watching it for half a month, I am really overwhelmed.
To be honest, she still likes being a milk tea girl, at least there is not so much pressure.
Now that she is about to become a manager, she is really afraid that one wrong decision will affect the development of HEYTEA.
But in fact, she was really overthinking it. With Heytea's leading position in the industry, its current development status would be difficult to be affected by human factors unless there was a national public relations crisis.
But that's just the way it is with college graduates. They always have a bit of awe towards society, not knowing that the world is just a huge makeshift team.
On July 7, after reading the report sent to him by Fang Xiaoxuan, Zhong Wenjing let out a long cry.
Unhappy, her life suddenly became unhappy!
So after thinking for a long time, she picked up her phone and called Zhou Xiaoyao.
"Xiaoyao, what are you doing?"
"This weekend, I was watching TV with my parents."
"Summer vacation is really boring. Can I go to Wuhe to find you?"
"Okay."
"Is your husband at home?"
"My husband's classmate went back to Jinan and told me to be a good boy at home."
"Ok, I'll be there right away!"
Zhong Wenjing was a person who did what she said. She packed up her things and went to Wuhe the next day, panting as if she was seeking shelter.
She has thought it all out. If I am asked to look at various tables and write a thank-you note again, I will say that I am busy. Then Fang Xiaoxuan will definitely report to Gu Ming, and then Gu Ming will call me and bark at me.
At that time, she would say that she really didn’t have time, and then take a photo of Zhou Xiaoyao and send it to Gu Ming, telling him, “Now I have to accompany Mrs. Gu shopping and have afternoon tea every day!”
See what he says!
Zhong Wenjing arrived in Wuhe at around 5 pm. After coming out of the train station, she began to look at the city with longing.
This was her first time in Wuhe. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoyao and Gu Ming, she would never have even heard of this small northern city before.
Now that she was there in person, she began to think about a question, which is how this place could produce someone like Gu Ming.
Afterwards, Zhong Wenjing took a taxi to Hongrong Home without even asking for directions, and went straight to Room 7, Unit 1, Building 502.
She has memorized this address by heart, because every time she needs to fill in her home address, Zhou Xiaoyao will fill in this string, and when asked where her home is, she will say the same.
After knocking on the door, the two sisters met and hugged each other warmly.
Then the rich lady took Zhong Wenjing on a tour. On the Gu family's coffee table was a family photo of four people, as well as a group photo of the six people standing together when they graduated.
"I can't tell whether this is Gu Ming's family or your family!"
"This is my little home with Gu Ming, my parents and I."
Zhong Wenjing poured her some water, acting like the young mistress of the Jiang family.
Zhong Wenjing took the water and looked around again: "Boss Gu is so rich, why doesn't he buy a villa in Wuhe?"
After hearing this question, Zhou Xiaoyao thought about it and then took her downstairs for a walk.
"Xiaoyao, your parents are not at home, right? Come to Grandma's house this afternoon to eat dumplings."
"Come quickly, Xiaoyao. I'll ask Youqin to cook the rice noodles that your uncle Qing sent back for you."
"Who is that?"
"Zhong Wenjing's daughter, she's pretty, right? I heard they're getting married after the New Year."
Zhou Xiaoyao opened her mouth wide and followed her for a walk. She thought to herself, this is not a resettlement community, this is simply a sugar mine: "Wait, are you going to get married after the New Year?"
Zhou Xiaoyao bluffed, "I don't know which good person spread this rumor."
"?"
Zhong Wenjing expressed doubts about Zhou Xiaoyao's explanation.
Gu Ming has been working away from home during this period, and he is so stubborn that he would definitely not spread such rumors.
If it was Gu Ming's parents who said it, it wouldn't be called a rumor.
There are only 1 people in the Gu family, so it seems obvious who spread the rumor...
However, Zhong Wenjing could understand why Gu Ming, who was extremely wealthy, did not buy a villa in Wuhe for them to live in.
To be honest, no amount of money can buy such a good community atmosphere.
Of course, she also gradually began to understand why Zhou Xiaoyao regarded this place as her home, because this place really has a sense of family and security.
This is the advantage of the resettlement community. Everyone used to live in the same village, so they are all related to each other and can be seen smiling when they go out for a walk. It is not like those commercial housing development communities later, where you may not know how many people live next door after living there for ten years.
But... Zhou Xiaoyao is too popular in this neighborhood.
"If we weren't best friends, I would definitely think that you grew up in this community."
Zhou Xiaoyao swayed back and forth and said, "I feel like I grew up in this neighborhood."
After listening to this, Zhong Wenjing smiled, put her arm around her and walked forward.
Some growth does not mean an increase in age, but a change in the soul...
After leaving Hongrong Home, Zhou Xiaoyao invited Zhong Wenjing to eat buns at a bun shop outside. The owner of the bun shop did not charge them and even gave them drinks.
This was mainly because the son of the steamed bun shop owner lost his job last year and stayed at home for half a year. Later, Gu Ming arranged for him to work in Qin Ziang's family's construction company, and he was even a small supervisor.
"Where to go next? Can we go to Commodity City?"
"Okay."
Even though Zhong Wenjing has never been to Wuhe, she is the author of "Love You in the Name of Friends" and she must have known about holy places like the library and the small commodity city!
Zhou Xiaoyao hadn't been there for a long time, so I took her for a walk.
Due to the development of the e-commerce industry, the rocking cars in the convenience store disappeared two years ago and were replaced by a courier pickup point. However, a supermarket was opened in the Small Commodity City and new rocking cars were put up, still of the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf variety.
Zhou Xiaoyao threw two coins and shook them with Zhong Wenjing, and all he could think of was Gu Ming running around.
Zhong Wenjing looked at the strange looks around her and couldn't help but ask, "Back then, Gu Ming used this to trick you back?"
Zhou Xiaoyao nodded. At that time, she and the big bear had just met and were still a little unfamiliar with each other. They didn't kiss or spank each other.
"That day I wanted to ride the rickshaw. My brother said I was naive, but he still put in a coin for me."
"It's indeed a bit naive. Others are looking at us. Why don't we withdraw?"
“But it won’t run around…”
"?"
Zhou Xiaoyao gently laid on Lazy Sheep's head: "My mother took me to the amusement park and warned me not to run around. Then she didn't come back for a whole day. I didn't dare to go anywhere else to play, so I just sat on the rocking car."
Zhong Wenjing suddenly understood what Zhou Xiaoyao's feelings were when he said "I will be good and not run around" every time in the past four years.
"Then we'll pay two more for the ride!"
"it is good!"
By the evening, Zhou Xiaoyao took Zhong Wenjing back to Hongrong Home. At this time, Yuan Youqin had returned from get off work and was cooking in the kitchen.
The rich young woman changed into Gu Ming's slippers, left her own slippers to Zhong Wenjing, and then ran over while calling "Mom".
Yuan Youqin gave the little rich woman full of maternal love, and the little rich woman fulfilled all of Yuan Youqin's fantasies about having a daughter.
The mother and daughter are now closer to each other than to each other.
"Where did you go for a stroll today?"
"Wen Jing is here, I took her out for a walk."
Yuan Youqin was quite surprised when she saw Zhong Wenjing. She knew that she was Zhou Xiaoyao's best friend, so she expressed her warm welcome and asked Zhou Xiaoyao to take her to have a rest while she prepared the meal immediately.
At this moment, Zhong Wenjing's cell phone vibrated, Fang Xiaoxuan sent her a new report.
Because July happened to be the middle of the year, the reports this time were three times more than before, and the file size alone was enough to make Zhong Wenjing feel overwhelmed.
Zhong Wenjing thought to herself, I quit this job. I’m accompanying the boss’s wife today and I’ve worked hard!
Then she followed Zhou Xiaoyao into the room, only to find her best friend sitting in front of the computer desk, holding the mouse, and starting to look at the report!
"Why are you watching this? It's nationwide!"
"I'm Gu Ming's boss lady."
Zhou Xiaoyao's eyes swept across the report with a calm and lovely expression.
Zhong Wenjing thought it was bad, it was a wrong idea. She thought she could use the boss's wife as a shield to escape these boring jobs, but it turned out that the boss's wife was no exception. Her trip was in vain!
But soon, Zhong Wenjing's attention was attracted by a gift box on the table: "What is this?"
"Graduation gift from dad..."
"?"
Zhong Wenjing thought that the father Zhou Xiaoyao was talking about was Gu Zhenghong, but when she opened it, she found out that it was not him.
There was a photo frame inside. The photo showed a tall and handsome man in a suit with a little girl standing in front of him. She was obviously Zhou Xiaoyao when she was a child.
But this man is not Gu Zhenghong, but he looks somewhat like Zhou Xiaoyao.
"Did your biological father give it to you?"
"Ah."
Zhou Xiaoyao nodded: "He came to Wuhe a few days ago, and my parents invited him to dinner at home."
Zhong Wenjing said "oh", then took the photo frame away and found a jewelry box marked with graff underneath. After opening it, there was a diamond necklace inside with a signature card of the designer.
"It's really interesting that this person didn't come on graduation day and only came now."
"He said his brother was sick during that time."
Zhou Shirong did come here some time ago. In addition to meeting Zhou Xiaoyao, he also went to Beijing to see the investment promotion situation of Joy City. He has just returned to Jinan.
At the end of June, he planned to attend Zhou Xiaoyao's graduation ceremony and meet his son-in-law by the way.
But Andy was having a high fever at that time and his condition did not improve.
He was a very well behaved boy at first, but for some reason, when Zhou Xiaoyao was about to graduate, he suddenly started clamoring for his dad and refused to let him go. Every time he cried, he would cough violently.
Duan Ying even beat him on purpose, saying that he was ignorant, and starved him for a day. Zhou Shirong was so angry that he almost exploded and had a big quarrel with Duan Ying.
So this graduation gift is considered late.
At night, Zhou Shirong returned to Sheshan Manor from the airport. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Duan Ying had prepared a table full of dishes, as if they had never quarreled.
"came back?"
"Ah."
"How is your job going?"
"The investment promotion situation is going well, but it is still far from my expectations."
Duan Ying comforted him not to worry, then served out the soup she had cooked herself and placed it in front of Zhou Shirong, without showing any abnormality.
But in fact, she knew that Zhou Shirong went to Jeju.
The fact that Zhou Xiaoyao's boyfriend is the president of a group buying company is a big blow to her. She is always afraid that everything she has worked so hard to get will be gone, so she doesn't want Zhou Shirong to have a chance to repair their relationship with Zhou Xiaoyao, which makes Andy quarrel and make a fuss.
But she didn't expect that Zhou Shirong still found an opportunity to go to Jeju to meet Zhou Xiaoyao.
To be honest, the fight for inheritance rights in a big family is actually no different from that in feudal society. The second son has no children, Zhou Xiaoyao is a daughter, and Duan Ying has Andy. In fact, Mrs. Zhou has always been in a very stable position.
But after returning to China, she found that the situation was not as optimistic as she thought.
Because the current board of directors has doubts about Zhou Shirong's ability, Cai Ming, who is in charge of Hurricane Investment, was previously Qin Jingqiu's direct subordinate.
In addition, Zhou Xiaoyao's boyfriend is the president of a group buying company, and she always feels that she may not be able to be a rich wife forever.
Especially Zhou Shirong went to Wuhe River quietly this time, which made her feel uneasy.
"You said you were going to meet with the brand, but you actually went to Wuhe, right? Why did you hide it from me? Did you think I would stop you from going? Xiaoyao is also my daughter, and I also want to wish her a happy graduation."
Zhou Shirong looked up at her and said, "Do you know Heytea?"
Duan Ying was stunned for a moment: "That milk tea brand that was very popular some time ago?"
"Yes, but 'very popular' is what consumers say. For us businessmen, we prefer to describe it as a milk tea brand with a valuation of nearly 1 billion. Although this valuation is highly exaggerated, this milk tea brand did a national marketing campaign some time ago, which was linked to confession and brought 3 to 5 percent more customers to the business district."
"What does this have to do with your trip to Wuhe?"
"A hot brand like this with good quality and marketing skills is very important to the Joy City project. It is true that I went to Wuhe, but I also went to meet with the brand owner."
Zhou Shirong put down his chopsticks: "Hi Tea, this is a gift from Gu Ming to Xiaoyao."
After hearing this, Duan Ying opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she found that her palms were already covered with sweat.
After returning from abroad, Zhou Xiaoyao's identity changed many times in her mind.
She went from being a stepdaughter to the girlfriend of the group-buying president, and then to Mrs. Gu in the eyes of a young entrepreneur who had no interest in money.
But that was just added value, just like her, she became Mrs. X because of a man.
But what she couldn't accept was that Zhou Xiaoyao actually owned a company valued at nearly 1 billion yuan.
"It's just...just a legal person who was pushed to the front, right?"
"No, Heytea belongs completely to Xiaoyao. Even Gu Ming has no shares."
