The Sick and Weak Horse Dressed As a Villain

In the evening, the elevators of the Central Office Building were crowded with urban men and women who were well-dressed but described as tired.

Qiao Wen was wearing a white shirt and his neckline was slightly loosened. He looked like he was idle after a day of work. He looks the same as the office workers around him, just because he has an unforgettable face, it will inevitably attract some uncontrollable eyes.

Since Mengzhen Clothing Office moved to this office building, he will encounter some eyes like this every day when he goes up and down the elevator. Of course, there are also people who come up directly to strike up a conversation-it is also an annoyance for men to look too good.

For example, now, when he just walked out of the door of the building, a modern girl came over and greeted enthusiastically: "Hi, you are Manager Joe of Mengzhen Clothing, right?"

Qiao Wen looked up at the person who came. She was a pretty young girl in a black and white Chanel suit with a Chanel sheepskin bag in her hand.

He has always been gentlemanly to girls and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you are?"

The woman took out a card and handed it to him, smiled and introduced herself openly: "My name is Zhou Jiayin, you can call me Alice, I studied fashion design in the United States before, and just opened a women's clothing brand studio in Hong Kong. , It’s in this office building. I saw your interview in the newspaper before and I appreciate your idea of ​​brand development. I hope I can have the opportunity to cooperate and exchange in the future."

Qiao Wen looked down at the business card in his hand-JY clothing studio, Zhou Jiayin (Alice).

In this era, she can study fashion design abroad and own her own brand when she comes back. What's more, her outfit is worth a year or two of ordinary people's expenses. Only the wealthy daughter can be so proud.

He smiled and nodded: "It turned out to be a colleague, but compared to Ms. Zhou, who has a background in design, my company manager can only be regarded as a layman."

Zhou Jiayin has a very hearty American style. She smiled and showed two neat rows of white teeth, and said: "Mr. Joe is too polite, your brand is so good, I want to learn from you." Asked, "Does Mr. Joe have time? It's just time for dinner, or else go have a meal together and talk slowly."

Qiao Wen was about to use any excuse to reject the young and beautiful modern girl when Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of a fast-moving motorcycle approaching here.

Chen Jianan slammed the brakes and stopped the motorcycle on the road teeth beside the two of them. He reached out his hand to take off his helmet and waved his hand loudly: "Xiao Qiao, I'm here to pick you up."

Qiao Wen nodded at him, put away the business card in his hand, took out his own card, handed it to Zhou Jiayin, and smiled: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, my friend will pick me up, and I will talk again next time."

Zhou Jiayin was not disappointed, she nodded with a smile, and said, "Mr. Qiao will see you later."

Qiao Wen politely waved goodbye to her, walked to Chen Canan, took the helmet he handed over, put on the helmet, and asked curiously: "Brother Nan, why are you here?"

Through the helmet, Chen Jianan saw the modern girl who had just talked to Qiao Wen, stepped on a pair of high heels, bent over and got into the red beetle in front, and walked away unhurriedly.

The alarm bell suddenly rang in my heart, and while starting the car, he asked: "Who is the woman you told you about?"

Qiao Wen said: "The boss of a clothing company in an office building."

Chen Jianan snorted coldly: "Being a boss at such a young age, I'm afraid which family's daughter is the eldest daughter? How long have you known each other?"

Qiao Wen said: "I just met just now."

"What are you talking about?"

"Just talk about work casually."

Chen Jianan became increasingly yin and yang strange: "What kind of work can I talk about when I met? Don't be a little white face like you, did you deliberately strike up a conversation?"

The sour smell could float two miles away.

Qiao Wen couldn't laugh or cry, put his hand on his waist, twisted it vigorously, and said viciously, "Who is the little white face?"

Chen Canan screamed in pain, but still suffocated his neck and said, "You are a little boy."

Forget it, don't have the same knowledge as this guy, not to mention that this pair of skins is indeed a standard white face.

Qiao Wen released his hand and changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Nan, let's not go back, you accompany me to meet someone."

"who?"

"I'll know when I go."

Under his guidance, Chen Canaan's motorcycle drove into the crowded area of ​​Kwun Tong.

It is difficult for people to change from frugal to extravagance. It is obviously only half a year after moving from the tenement house to the high-rise apartment. At this moment, seeing the low and rudimentary iliac housing area, even Chen Jianan couldn't help frowning. Don't mention Qiao Wen, who has only been in the walled city for half a year.

The previous Chanel girls and the dilapidated and crowded iliac house area at this moment are the two worlds of this metropolis, as well as the portrayal of this cruel world.

Chen Jianan didn't remember what people Qiao Wen knew from the Yiwu District, and curiously asked, "Who are you looking for here?"

"Tang Xingwei."

"Who is Tang Xingwei?"

Qiao Wen said: "It's the waiter in Xingtiandi."

Chen Jianan suddenly realized it, and said, "Don't tell me, I almost forgot."

Qiao Wen chuckled, not only that he almost forgot. In the past two months, Chen Jianan, the "great hero", has been welcoming and sending each other every day, and the stars have held the moon. The reporters have come in waves. This association and the chamber of commerce have also visited each other. The business in the martial arts museum is booming, and the daily flower baskets have not been broken, and the meals have been eaten one after another.

The hustle and bustle of such flowers and brocades has only become a little calmer these days.

Anyone who cares a little about current affairs does not know the young girl at Anan Budokan, but no one mentions the waiter who was insulted by the ghost, as if he was just a trivial background in that incident.

Of course, this is understandable. People are always willing to create heroes and pursue heroes. Few people really care about the weak.

Tang Xingwei himself obviously hadn't thought about getting something from this storm. After Chen Canan came out and the media's microphones were directed at the hero, he silently withdrew from the storm, and never even looked for Qiao Wen again.

During this period of time, in addition to going to work, Qiao Wen happily watched Chen Canan’s scenery every day, and indulged in Guan Zhen—that is, the serial novel created by Master Guan Zhenbao based on Chen Canan’s prototype.

Like everyone else, he actually almost forgot Tang Xingwei.

Had it not been for early work today, Chen Jianan would come to pick him up again, and both of them would be very free, and he would not suddenly think of going to see Tang Xingwei's situation.

Although he had only been here once, Qiao Wen still remembered the location of Tang Xingwei's house. The door of the dilapidated wooden house was only lightly covered, and some people were talking vaguely inside.

He knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open the door. It was Tang Xingwei. He seemed to be a bit thinner than before, and he didn't know whether it was exhaustion or exhaustion.

Seeing Qiao Wen and Chen Canan "uninvited" outside the door, Tang Xingwei was obviously a little surprised. He was taken aback for a moment before he came back to his senses, and quickly said: "Mr. Qiao, Mr. Chen, why are you here?"

Qiao Wen smiled and said: "Me and Nan Ge passed by and remembered that you lived here, so I just stopped by and have a look. How are you doing recently?"

Tang Xingwei nodded a little awkwardly: "Fortunately, come in for a cup of hot water."

Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan followed him into the house.

This small house is still the same as last time, dark and simple but clean and tidy, but this time there is a faint smell of Chinese medicine. Qiao Wen asked casually: "Who is sick?"

Tang Xingwei brought two glasses of water, placed them in front of them, pointed to the inner room separated by a curtain, and said in a low voice, "My grandfather has been sick recently and has been taking medicine."

Qiao Wen asked casually again: "After that incident, did you bring any inconvenience to your life?"

Tang Xingwei was taken aback for a moment, and shook his head quickly: "No no, I am relieved that Mr. Chen can come out smoothly."

Qiao Wen calmly looked at his expression in his eyes, took a silent sip from his water glass, and his eyes fell on a pile of paper boxes in the corner of the room.

He remembered clearly that there was no such thing in the house last time.

He smiled and said, "That's good, I'm still worried that it will affect you. By the way, how is your work recently?"

Tang Xingwei said: "Very...good."

"Did you change it to a bar?"

Tang Xingwei hesitated for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Well, change one."

Qiao Wen put down the water glass and said with a smile: "In fact, I came to see you, it is indeed something."

Tang Xingwei frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Do you need my help? As long as I can help, just speak up."

Qiao Wen smiled and shook his head and said: "That's it. Nan Ge and I opened a real estate company. We didn't hire people because we only purchased land before. But now we have more and more land, and other businesses are ready to do it. So there is an urgent need for an assistant who understands a little English, typing and a little financial knowledge. I think you should know how to do it, so I just come to ask if you are interested? The salary is about the same as that of ordinary civilian staff for the time being, one thousand yuan a month, etc. In the future, the business will be launched, and adjustments will be made according to the actual situation."

Tang Xingwei stunned, and nodded again and again: "I am interested and interested. My English is not very good, but I worked in a bar before I had no problems with daily communication and reading. I was learning typing and financial knowledge when I was free during the day. Originally, I wanted to go. The company was looking for a job, but because of low academic qualifications, it has not been able to apply. It would be great if Mr. Qiao could give me this opportunity."

Qiao Wen said with a smile: "Education is not important. Nan also only reached the second grade, and the grades are always the end of the crane."

Chen Canan, the second-year young man: "???" It always feels like it's not a good analogy.

Qiao Wen continued: "As long as you are eager to learn and progress, it is more important than anything. When you come back to your home and read the books in your home, you will know that you must be a motivated young man. You have been working in a bar before, so it should be because you can get more during the day. Take time to study, or go to the university to take a class, right?"

Books in Hong Kong City are not cheap. For such a poor family with a full cabinet of books, Tang Xingwei is probably the kind of person who would rather be hungry and save money to buy books. It's not like someone who has some money in his pocket and eats and drinks.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Chen Canan beside him, and someone pretended to be stupid.

Tang Xingwei felt a little embarrassed: "Working in a bar is indeed for the convenience of going to the library to study, and I have also been to the university when I have the opportunity. However, my foundation is too poor, and many courses are not well understood. Reading is."

"That's right." Qiao Wen nodded, smiled and patted Chen Jianan on the shoulder: "Brother Nan, do you hear it?"

Chen Jianan straightened up and stretched out three fingers and said: "I have memorized three English words today."

Qiao Wen shook his head and laughed, and said to Tang Xingwei: "Our company's business has not yet officially launched. There are not many things now. After you go to work, you can study in the office when you are free, especially in the area of ​​finance. You can learn more about it. You may be required to do the billing."

The other party nodded excitedly: "Don't worry, I will study hard."

Qiao Wen raised his hand and glanced at his watch, took out the real estate company's business card and handed it to him, saying: "Then it's settled, and we should say goodbye. Tomorrow is Saturday, and you officially come to work on Monday."

Tang Xingwei took the card, clearly ecstatically excited, but it was not easy for people to see it, so he could only suppress it with great effort, so that his eyes were a little red.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Wen didn't want to stay for a long time, so he took Chen Canan to say goodbye, and when he arrived at the door, he wouldn't let anyone send him off again.

The two went out and walked a few steps, and indeed heard Tang Xingwei's excited voice in the wooden house behind him: "Grandpa, I have found a new job."

Qiao Wen bends the corner of his mouth cheerfully.

It's just that Chen Jianan on the side is obviously a little puzzled about this just now. It was difficult to ask in front of people before. Now he went out and curiously said: "Xiao Qiao, our company, isn't it just hoarding land for the time being? Formally? Do you have to wait until the end of the year at least to operate? Now the land is not hoarding, and the company is not making money now, and it still owes a bank loan. What do you hire an assistant for? Isn't a salary of 1,000 yuan a month to raise an idler?"

Qiao Wen glanced at him and said: "By the end of the year, we can start slowly with a few plots of land in our hands. The preparations for the Mid-Levels Ocean View Villa can also begin. At that time, we will need manpower. It is better to hire people temporarily. Reserve talents first."

Chen Jianan curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "Isn't this Awei just a bar waiter? He hasn't worked in the company, so what kind of talent can he be?"

Qiao Wen said: "Didn't I just say that? The most important thing is to learn well. Some of the books in Awei's cabinet are university textbooks, as well as economics materials from the University of Cambridge. It can be seen that his knowledge reserves have reached the university level. I believe. I, he must be a talent in the future."

Chen Jianan smiled and said, "Well, you said yes."

Qiao Wen was silent for a moment, and then said: "But when I said to hire an assistant, it was indeed a temporary idea."

"Huh?" Chen Canan didn't know why.

Qiao Wen turned his head to look at him and smiled: "You have been showing up in the past two months, but Ah Wei's life has been greatly affected by that incident. After all, you caused this incident. , We have to be responsible to others."

Chen Jianan frowned and asked, "Has his life been greatly affected?"

Qiao Wen nodded: "He had been working as a waiter in a bar before. Because of this incident, he was fired by Xingtiandi, and other bars shouldn't use him anymore. So in these two months, he has actually been out of work. Just now. I saw that he has a paper box at home, and there is an open paste next to it. It should be made for some change from the paper box for the time being. Now that grandpa is sick again, it is probably worse for the family."

Chen Jianan said in surprise: "Then why didn't he say anything just now? He also said that he has a job."

Qiao Wen sighed: "It shows that this character is quite good. He did not hesitate to accept the interview for you at the beginning. After you let it go, he quietly withdrew. Obviously because of difficulties in this matter, I don't want to bother us. If he really has a job, I Can he be so excited when he comes to our company as an assistant?"

Chen Jianan suddenly realized, and he took his shoulders with joy and said: "So you said that the company lacks an assistant, and ask him if he is interested? Instead of telling him directly, you want to help him? Oh, Xiao Qiao, you are so empathetic. NS."

Qiao Wen laughed and said: "I am not purely helping him, but I really value his ability to learn and improve. If I just want to help him, can I just find a way to give him a little money? I don't need to let him join our company. "After speaking, he sighed in a daze, "Anyway, you caused this matter, and you have been out in the limelight. It is also considered a fame and fortune. But they didn't get anything, and they were in trouble because of it. It's not fair to him."

"I know, I won't do anything to people casually in the future." Chen Jianan smiled rascally, and added, "If you let me move, I will move."

Qiao Wen tilted his head to look at him, and suddenly smiled slyly: "Brother Nan, in fact, I asked Awei to join the company, thinking that you can learn from him and read more useful knowledge."

When Chen Jianan heard that he wanted him to learn again, he immediately changed the subject, pointed at the children playing in the mud, and said: "Huh? Xiao Qiao, do you remember when you were a kid? It rained in the city. There is a lot of water on the ground. You are always afraid of getting dirty, and I carry you on my back every time."

Qiao Wen tried to pull out the scene he said from the memory of the original body, but found that as he came to this world longer and longer, the memory left by the original body became more and more blurred. Those episodes of growing up with Chen Jianan are all covered by the more than one year of getting along.

This made him suddenly realize that Xiao Qiao, who was once, is really far away from this world, far away from his Nan Ge.

He stared at the child in front of him blankly, and asked nonchalantly, "Brother Nan, do you miss Xiao Qiao?"

"Huh?" Chen Jianan turned his head and looked at him for unknown reasons.

Qiao Wen met his dark eyes and said word by word: "It was the days when you and Xiao Qiao grew up together?"

Chen Jianan became more and more confused: "Isn't that us?"

Qiao Wen said: "I mean, those years before? Not this year."

Chen Jianan stared at his deep and deep eyes, suddenly turned his head around his shoulders, and led him to move forward, haha ​​said: "Oh, we have had a hard time before, and your health is poor. I am courageous and I am always worried about your future. How good is now, you have grown up and have the ability, if it weren’t for you, I would stay in jail without dying. Xiao Qiao, you are getting better and better, and we are all better The better it comes, and it will be better in the future."

After a moment of silence, he added, "So I don't like to think about the past now, I love the present and the future."

Qiao Wen smiled: "Okay, then think about now and later."

The author has something to say: With A Wei, a student master, will the student Nanzi study hard?

Liang Zinan: No, but if...

Qiao Wen holds the whip: What if?
