After leaving the airport, Cao Zhiqiang did not take Wang Xiaohong directly to Qinghong's residence. Instead, he went to a Xinhua Bookstore first.
The reason for coming here is to first find Gu Zhenzhen who works here, and then take Gu Zhenzhen back to Qinghong's residence.
The reason for doing this is very simple. Firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, it is to avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, if I, an old man, took Wang Xiaohong, a young girl, to Qinghong's residence, if there was no one there at this time, it would be easy for this lonely man and woman to spread gossip.
Even if no one knows, your attitude must be correct and you must do a good job of avoiding suspicion in advance to maintain your image as a good man.
Although in reality, Cao Zhiqiang has had several women now and is no longer a dedicated and good man, but the more he is like this, the more he has to maintain his superficial personality.
Just like those high-ranking officials who have many mistresses, the more mistresses they have, the more they have to publicize their single-mindedness and devotion to the outside world. Only in this way can they be powerfully deceptive. If the house collapses, it will be easier to get through it easily as long as they deny it.
Never believe in a person who is truly evil, let alone someone who is frank and lenient.
For example, the prince of later generations is a typical negative example. He does all kinds of wanton things. If he changes his girlfriend, he should be diligent. The key is that he is very high-profile and everything is obvious.
Although this kind of person looks cool and real, his romantic personality is actually very unpleasant, at least to the middle and upper classes. At most, it makes the people at the bottom happy.
In fact, those various high-end people and various high-end second-generation people may not be worse than the princes in terms of quantity, quality and frequency of changing girls, but they do it secretly and maintain a simple and honest duty to the outside world. If you have a smart and capable persona, as long as the persona doesn't fall apart, you will become famous sooner or later.
For example, Bill Gates has always maintained a persona of loving his wife and not messing around. Later, even if it was revealed that this guy was having a lot of fun, it could only be regarded as a rumor without definite evidence, and many people still believed it. Bill Gates is innocent, and he believes that the news that says Bill Gates is a philanderer is all slander.
This is the importance of personality.
To put it bluntly, the character is for outsiders to see. As long as you are strong enough and careful, it is not that simple to destroy the character.
Those whose personalities have collapsed are only a minority after all.
Therefore, refusing to admit it is the right way. Like Mr. Wang, who disclosed his love history, that is an extremely evil way and is absolutely undesirable.
Anyway, for now, Cao Zhiqiang definitely doesn't want Wu Qinghong to discover the fact that he has many women.
In other words, the matter of raising a lover can be concealed for a while, but it is impossible to expect leniency if you confess. You have to fight to the end.
It is the right thing to let Wu Qinghong continue to be kept in the dark and continue to live in what she thinks is happiness.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang was so careful to conceal it, in addition to maintaining his character, he also didn't want to lose Qinghong.
After all, Wu Qinghong is still very young and has not experienced as many hardships as Jin Xiuying, so her understanding of society is actually very superficial and her dependence is not strong enough.
To put it simply, Wu Qinghong is too young at this time and is more likely to act impulsively.
If Wu Qinghong knew that he had other women besides her, he might not be able to accept it for a while and would choose to break up with him regardless. In worse cases, he might commit suicide.
If Wu Qinghong wants to accept her passionate problem, she can only work slowly and carefully.
Specifically speaking, he was to treat her well in the early stage, continue to stun her with rich materials, and continue to guide her with words to make her understand her "difficulties", and gradually cultivate her into a person who can't live without luxury. , let alone Cao Zhiqiang’s Canary and Bai Fumei.
When Wu Qinghong is older, has more experience, and is completely inseparable from Cao Zhiqiang, by then, even if Wu Qinghong knows that he has other women outside, he probably will not make an impulsive decision, but will carefully consider it carefully. , and finally chose to stay.
For this reason, Cao Zhiqiang even specially arranged for Wu Qinghong's best friend Gu Zhenzhen to come over, just for an extra layer of protection.
You know, Wu Qinghong is relatively introverted and simple, and has no other friends except Gu Zhenzhen.
To a certain extent, Gu Zhenzhen is Wu Qinghong's spiritual support. Gu Zhenzhen's words are even more effective than Wu Qinghong's parents.
Of course, Gu Zhenzhen is also really good to Wu Qinghong, but unlike Wu Qinghong's introversion and simplicity, Gu Zhenzhen's personality is more outgoing, and she has suffered emotional injuries, so she has become a lot more realistic and stable.
At least so far, Gu Zhenzhen has always been grateful to Cao Zhiqiang and is very aware of Cao Zhiqiang's importance.
Therefore, when Cao Zhiqiang asked Gu Zhenzhen to spend more time with Qinghong when she had nothing to do, so that Qinghong would be happy, Gu Zhenzhen agreed.
Because Gu Zhenzhen understood that the main purpose of her coming to the capital was actually to accompany Wu Qinghong.
As long as she stays with Wu Qinghong and continues to be Wu Qinghong's best friend, then Gu Zhenzhen's work and future will be fine.
Just like now, when Cao Zhiqiang came to Xinhua Bookstore where Gu Zhenzhen worked, he just said hello to her manager, and the manager happily let her go. There was no need to ask for leave, it was not counted as absenteeism, and it was not counted as leaving early. He went directly back to take a paid break. Just leave it on.
What's even more outrageous is that no one thinks there is a problem when the manager does this.
Why? Because everyone in this Xinhua Bookstore knows that Gu Zhenzhen has a backstage, but most people don't know what the backstage is.
Only the manager knows that Gu Zhenzhen’s backstage is Cao Zhiqiang, and how tough Cao Zhiqiang’s backstage is. The manager of this store doesn’t know either, but he does know that the general manager of Xinhua Bookstore’s main store has a close relationship with Cao Zhiqiang.
You know, it was the general manager of Xinhua Bookstore's main store who originally called the manager of this store to ask Gu Zhenzhen to work here.
With such a relationship, how could the manager dare to treat Gu Zhenzhen badly? Naturally, he would be obedient, and she would be the aunt to provide for her.
You know, the manager of Xinhua Bookstore is a very poor person, and his salary is second to none. The key is that the kickbacks are very large.
However, at this time, the management of Xinhua Bookstore was similar to that of government cadres, and they were all suppressing people at the top level.
Although he, as the manager, has a lot of power to other people in the store, to the superiors at the Xinhua Bookstore main store, he is just a lowly official who can be removed with just a word.
Especially the general manager of Xinhua Bookstore’s main store. It may be difficult to fire someone, but if you want to move a branch manager’s position to a place where there is no oil and water, it is just a phone call away. Nothing is needed. discuss.
Therefore, for the sake of his own position, the manager did not dare to do anything to Gu Zhenzhen.
Fortunately, although Gu Zhenzhen is young, she has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past. In addition, she is also alone here in the capital. She only relies on Cao Zhiqiang's relationship to gain a foothold, which can be regarded as a serious fake power.
Cao Zhiqiang had a long talk with her before and told her clearly that the more this happens, the more cautious he must be. Don't give too many excuses, let alone offend others. He must be modest and prudent and lower his position.
If you have a strong background, but are modest, prudent, tolerant to others, and make everyone look good, then they will accept you better and even help you.
But if you have a strong background but are overbearing and don't give everyone face, then everyone will just hate you and stay away from you, which is not a good thing in the long run.
To put it bluntly, I am telling Gu Zhenzhen that while working in the unit, you must not only let people know your background in a subtle way, but also be humble and let others accept you better. This is the long-term solution.
Obviously, Gu Zhenzhen listened, so even though the manager took special care of her, Gu Zhenzhen was meticulous in her work, greeted her colleagues with a smile, and even rushed to do cleaning and other tasks, so in a short period of time, It won a lot of praise from everyone, and the popularity was quite good.
It is precisely because of her good popularity that people now come to her door and ask her to leave early on the pretext of family matters, and no one says anything to her.
Anyway, the work at Xinhua Bookstore is very easy. One more person or one less person doesn’t make any difference. The key is whether you can come in.
In short, after taking Gu Zhenzhen out, Cao Zhiqiang felt much more relieved.
After all, with Gu Zhenzhen as a third party, Wang Xiaohong's problem is no longer a problem.
In this way, the three of them took a tricycle, chatting and laughing, and arrived at the courtyard near Houhai Park.
"Little Wang." Cao Zhiqiang, who walked into the courtyard, smiled and said to Wang Xiaohong, who was looking around, "From now on, you will live here temporarily. Specifically, you will live in the west wing first, opposite Gu Zhenzhen. Do you think that's okay?" "
"Okay." Wang Xiaohong smiled and tightened the strap of her backpack, "Brother Zhiqiang, I support you. Whatever you say, I can do it."
"It would be great."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled, then turned to Gu Zhenzhen and said: "Zhenzhen, then you should take Xiao Wang to the west wing to have a look, tidy up the room, make the bed, and let Xiao Wang stay and rest first.
After that, call and book a banquet at that familiar restaurant. You guys will have lunch here today. In the afternoon, you take Xiao Wang around for a walk around to get familiar with the environment. Do you think it’s good? ? "
"Okay, no problem." Gu Zhenzhen smiled and nodded.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, then turned to look at Wang Xiaohong: "Xiao Wang, you will listen to this Gu Zhenzhen later. If you have any questions, you can come to her. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Wang Xiaohong nodded.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Very good, then you can get busy. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang turned around and left.
But at this moment, Gu Zhenzhen suddenly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, Brother Cao, won't you stay? When you were away, Qinghong missed you very much. Don't you miss her?"
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course I miss Qinghong, but Qinghong is still in school now, so there is no use for me to stay."
Gu Zhenzhen frowned, then smiled and said, "Why don't you wait here while I go to the school to find Qinghong and ask her to come over immediately?"
"No, no, no, no!" Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand quickly, "Qinghong has just entered school, and she still has to abide by the school's rules and regulations. It's not good to take leave and skip classes easily."
Indeed, although there was no military training in universities during this period, management was still very strict, especially during the first enrollment period.
If you miss school without any reason, the punishment will be severe.
At this time, there were no fines in universities, but corporal punishment.
For example, being punished by standing still in class, running exercises on campus, and cleaning alone, etc. These are not legends, they are real punishments at this time.
Qinghong had just entered college. If she took leave of absence just because her boyfriend came back, the consequences would be serious.
Of course, these are all high-sounding reasons.
The real reason is that Cao Zhiqiang doesn't want Qing Hong to come back too early. It will only stick to him and prevent him from having a good rest. It will be too troublesome.
It would be better to make simple arrangements and then run away like now, which would be much easier.
Otherwise, they all say that men are just big pigs. When I don’t have a woman, I really want to have one, but when I do, I find it troublesome. It’s true.
"Let's see." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Will Qinghong come back after school in the afternoon?"
"That's right." Gu Zhenzhen nodded, "Qinghong doesn't live on campus."
Yes, Qinghong doesn't live on campus because she has a place to live in the capital and is a student on campus.
"That's alright." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'll just rush back when Qinghong comes back. As for now, I would like to stay and have a rest, but it's a pity that I still have a lot of things to be busy with. I really don't have to." It’s empty.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes, forget this, you are indeed different from us. You are busy with everything, blame me. I didn't expect this. Brother Cao, don't blame me."
"Hahaha, how could that happen?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's good if you can understand me and don't blame me."
"How could it be?" Gu Zhenzhen smiled, "In that case, then Brother Cao, go and do your work. I am here and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong. I will definitely arrange everything for Miss Wang from Jinling. "
As soon as Gu Zhenzhen finished speaking, before Cao Zhiqiang spoke, Wang Xiaohong looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a smile and said: "Brother Zhiqiang, do you have something to do? It doesn't matter, just go and do it. Don't worry about me. Everything is fine here, and I There’s still money, no problem here.”
Cao Zhiqiang nodded to Wang Xiaohong: "Well, that's fine. Anyway, if you have anything to do, go to Gu Zhenzhen. She will stay with you today, so don't worry.
Let's do this for today. You have a good rest and get familiar with the environment here. I will take you to the unit tomorrow, introduce you to other colleagues, and then officially start work. What do you think? "
"No problem!" Wang Xiaohong nodded, "Everything is up to you, Brother Zhiqiang!"
When Wang Xiaohong said this, Gu Zhenzhen immediately frowned, and then looked at Wang Xiaohong with a scrutinizing gaze.
But soon, Gu Zhenzhen curled her lips vaguely and showed a disdainful look.
Nothing else, because in Gu Zhenzhen's opinion, Wang Xiaohong is round and round, and although she looks very festive, she is far inferior to Wu Qinghong in terms of figure and appearance, and even inferior to her, Gu Zhenzhen.
Especially the skin color, Wang Xiaohong's skin color is a bit dark, not only not as white as her Gu Zhenzhen, but also far away from Wu Qinghong.
Although overall, Wang Xiaohong is pretty, but compared to Wu Qinghong and Gu Zhenzhen, she looks very safe.
In addition, she wears a pair of thick glasses and acts like a nerd, which is obviously not Cao Zhiqiang's cup of tea.
It seems there is no need to worry.
In fact, Gu Zhenzhen's idea was really right. Cao Zhiqiang really didn't have the slightest idea about Wang Xiaohong.
Just as Gu Zhenzhen thought, the main reason was that Wang Xiaohong's appearance was not good and she was too ordinary to be noticed by Cao Zhiqiang.
Just kidding, none of the women around Cao Zhiqiang are models of good looks. How could an ordinary-looking woman like Wang Xiaohong be tempted by Cao Zhiqiang?
"Very good, that puts me at ease." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
After that, Cao Zhiqiang quietly pulled Gu Zhenzhen aside, secretly took out two hundred yuan and gave it to her.
"Well, Zhenzhen, here are the funds for your activities today.
You take Comrade Wang Xiaohong with you to play and eat everywhere. Buy what you need. Don’t save money. It’s best to spend all the money in one day. Anyway, you must eat well, drink well, have fun, and entertain people well. Listen. Are you there yet? "
Gu Zhenzhen took it with a smile: "I understand, we will definitely receive her well, don't worry. But, what is her origin? Do you want to receive her so caringly?"
Cao Zhiqiang said: "Well, it's a long story. I'll tell you in detail later. In short, this person is very important to me. I must not neglect it. Forget it about Qinghong. She is not free and she is not that kind of person. But you, You must be friends with her in the future and let her recognize you and trust you as soon as possible, do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Zhenzhen glanced at the girl with double braids and glasses who was standing aside, still looking around at the surrounding environment, and smiled slightly:
"I understand. Become her friend, gain her trust, understand her situation, and then report her movements to you at any time so that she does not escape your control, right?"
"Very good!" Cao Zhiqiang patted Gu Zhenzhen's shoulder with a smile and whispered, "As expected of the person I like, you can tell the truth!
Don't worry, if you do things for me, I won't treat you badly, and you will benefit from it afterwards. "
Gu Zhenzhen lowered her head in embarrassment: "No way, Brother Cao, you are so kind to me. These things are my responsibility, and I don't need any benefits."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled again: "How can this be done? I am always fair in doing things. If you do things for me, you have to be rewarded."
Having said this, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll leave everything to you here. I believe you can do your best!"
After sending Cao Zhiqiang out and watching Cao Zhiqiang get on the tricycle and leave directly, Gu Zhenzhen stood at the door and squinted her eyes, whispering to herself: "Qinghong, Qinghong, I really envy you, you can actually find Such a good man, why don't I have such good luck?
But forget it, people, you have to accept your fate, it's already pretty good to be like this.
At least, today's life is something I couldn't even imagine before.
But Qinghong, you know, the better he is, the more scared I am.
Because excellent men are always remembered easily, and the more temptations they suffer.
Therefore, the more handsome and rich a man is, the less reliable he is.
But Qinghong, don’t worry, for you, I will definitely help you keep an eye on this man and prevent him from being taken away by other bad women.
To do this, I must first become the most trustworthy person around this man. For this, I can do anything!
Qinghong, Qinghong, everything I do is for you, whether you understand it or not.
In short, Qinghong, you must be happy!
As long as you can be happy, everything I do will be worth it! "
