The 22nd floor has never really calmed down. Either something happens here, or things get agitated again.
On Zhu Zhe's side, as soon as Chen Zufa's matter was settled, Yu Feixue came over, first expressed his gratitude, and then very sincerely invited the two of them to dinner as a token of his gratitude.
Zhu Zhe originally wanted to refuse. After all, Yu Feixue had paid a lot of money. If the evidence hadn't been conclusive and the court had given a verdict, the trouble would have been even greater. Zhu Zhe didn't want Yu Feixue to spend any more money.
Wang Zhong agreed before Zhu Zhe refused. In a well-decorated mid-range seafood restaurant, Yu Feixue handed the menu to Wang Zhong. Wang ordered a few affordable and delicious seafood, and handed the menu back to Yu Feixue, who ordered another one. Aolong has several signature dishes that are not cheap but are quite famous.
After ordering, Yu Feixue smiled politely at the two of them: "I have been busy with the lawsuit recently, and I haven't had time to formally thank you. I'm really sorry. I don't have any ability, so I just borrowed it. Over this meal, let’s express our gratitude.”
"Actually, you don't have to be so polite. This can be considered Chen Zufa's own fault. If he hadn't set his sights on my Zhu Zhe, I might not have noticed him." Wang Zhong said very bluntly: "I just did it casually to help you. , and Zhu Zhe and I can avoid a lot of trouble, it is beneficial to others, harmless to ourselves, a win-win situation." Yu Feixue nodded, although Wang Zhong said it bluntly, but this kind of kindness, Yu Feixue Keep it in mind: "But you have definitely helped me. If it weren't for you, I would have lost both my life and money." Yu Feixue smiled at himself, the smile was very forced.
"Chen Zufa has been sentenced, then you..." The words came to his lips, but Zhu Zhe didn't know how to continue asking.
Yu Feixue, on the other hand, seemed quite open-minded: "The court betrayed me, and the house belongs to me as compensation. Those small loans have nothing to do with me, and those loan companies have also been sealed up. The relevant people involved The judgment has been given. Once I pay off the mortgage, the house will be mine." This is rare good news, a blessing among misfortunes.
Chen Zufa’s idea at the beginning was that each of the two people would contribute part of the money to pay the down payment of the house. The money that Chen Zufa contributed was naturally from loans, and Yu Feixue also knew about this matter, and it all happened after the two of them obtained the certificate. , naturally it is regarded as a joint loan between husband and wife, and the purpose is to buy a house with Yu Feixue.
After that, Chen Zufa disappeared, and the only person the loan company could find besides the guarantor was Yu Feixue.
If Yu Feixue still fails to pay and Chen Zuffa is not arrested, it is hard to say what fate awaits Yu Feixue in the end.
"The loans that Chen Zufa asked fellow villagers to help guarantee have been settled. There is no problem now." Yu Feixue added.
"Then what are your plans next?" Zhu Zhe asked again.
"What else can I do? Keep working to earn money to pay off the house loan!" Although Yu Feixue was a little helpless, she was also very happy at the same time. Fortunately, the two people in front of her reminded her in time and let her escape relatively early without getting into trouble. Trapped in a mire and unable to extricate myself.
Wang Zhong said: "There is motivation only when there is pressure. After Chen Zufa went through all the trouble, it would not be a big loss if he changed his qualifications to buy a house in Shanghai with a down payment." Zhu Zhe and Yu Feixue looked at each other in unison. Turning to look at Wang Zhong, this was the first time the two of them had seen him in such a comforting way.
But after thinking about it, what Wang Zhong said does make sense. Although Yu Feixue lost a lot in this farce and made a lot of money, she also paid for it despite being qualified to buy a house. Although the down payment provided by Chen Zuffa was not much, it also helped Yu Feixue reduce a lot of losses.
Moreover, Yu Feixue also successfully settled in the Magic City.
"Thinking about it this way, it seems that it's really not a big loss!" Yu Feixue nodded and said. Seeing Yu Feixue's helpful look, Zhu Zhe was a little bit dumbfounded.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Everything in the world has two sides. Let's look at the problem from another angle. Some bad things may not necessarily become good things!"
"Although it's a fallacy, it sounds quite reasonable." Zhu Zhe said. After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, they went their separate ways.
On the way back, Zhu Zhe thought of Wang Zhong's words just now and couldn't help but look at Wang Zhong who was driving next to him and said, "This is really the first time I've seen such a persuasive person like you."
"It doesn't mean persuasion, as long as it's useful." Wang Zhong said.
"No wonder you can make so much money!" Zhu Zhe said: "As expected, as long as it is gold, it can shine no matter where it is."
"That's necessary, and it doesn't matter who I am."
"You have such a high emotional intelligence, even if you are placed in our group, you will definitely be able to rise all the way to the top." Zhu Zhe said with some envy.
Wang Zhong said: "Your group? Forget it! I don't have a lot of trouble in my eyes. It's better to write online articles with peace of mind. Those intrigues and intrigues in the workplace are not suitable for me. Flattery, It’s not my style to be groveling, let alone your group’s. I can consider making me CEO directly and giving me 100% power.”
"Forget it then. If you become the CEO of our group, I don't know how many of the senior vice presidents and CEOs of our group will be sent in by you."
"In fact, in the eyes of the senior management and shareholders of your group, as long as it can do practical things and bring practical benefits to your group, it's okay to have some minor flaws or flaws, as long as it does not harm the actual interests of your group. They are happy to turn a blind eye and close one eye.”
"Are you saying that in the eyes of the group's senior management, ability is more important than character?" Zhu Zhe asked.
"It's not necessarily absolute, but if there are two people, one is extremely capable and average in character, and the other is good in character but poor in ability. If you were your senior leader, who would you choose?" Although this is ugly, it is true. Reality.
As Uncle Li in A World Without Thieves said, what is the most precious thing in the 21st century? It's talent. In a modern society where interests are paramount, the importance of talents is unquestionable, because talents can bring benefits, and capital has always been profit-seeking.
In less than two weeks, Zhu Zhe received another call from his hometown. This time it was not Zhu's mother, but his younger brother Zhu Minjie. Zhu Minjie complained to Zhu Zhe on the phone, saying that Zhu's father and Zhu's mother had forced him to go. Why should he take the civil service exam? Otherwise, he would no longer be subsidized from now on. Zhu Minjie was so angry that he complained to Zhu Zhe on the phone that he had no interest in those nine-to-five jobs where he could see the end at a glance and so on. , and finally came to the topic of asking Zhu Zhe for money.
Zhu Zhe agreed without saying a word, but he also said very directly that he still owed debts, and the expenses in the magic city were huge, including food, drink, sex, rent, water and electricity every month, and there were still outstanding debts to be repaid. , I could only squeeze out 500 yuan to support Zhu Minjie temporarily for two days, and Zhu Minjie had to find a way to do it himself. His acting skills were so lifelike, he burst into tears, and his emotions were sincere.
But Zhu Minjie was not happy: "Sister, five hundred yuan, how can you give away five hundred yuan to the beggar?" The tone was quite unkind.
"Xiaojie, listen to me, it's not easy for me. I originally had some money on hand for emergencies, but when Tingting got married last time, didn't I seal a red envelope? I gave you the five hundred yuan. , or my sister originally planned to give someone else’s share money, but in the end that friend’s marriage didn’t happen, and the share money was returned, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to get the five hundred!”
"You are in Shanghai, your salary is so high, how can you not even get five hundred yuan!" Zhu Minjie didn't believe it at all: "If you don't want to give it to me, just tell me." Zhu Zhe said: "Xiaojie, isn't it? Do you still owe debts? In order to support you and Tingting’s studies, I borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and they haven’t been paid off yet.”
"Isn't there a brother-in-law?" Zhu Minjie said confidently.
"Xiaojie, do you want to force me to death?" Zhu Zhe's tone changed, and his heart dropped to the bottom,
"I'm thirty-two years old, and I finally found a suitable boyfriend. I don't even dare to tell him that I still owe foreign debts. I worked hard to earn money to support you in high school and college. If you Don’t blame me for messing up the matter between Wang Zhong and me. From now on, I will treat you as my younger brother!”
"Sister..." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Zhe immediately cut off the call, ignoring Zhu Minjie's shout on the other end of the phone, very decisively, without any hesitation.
It turns out that Zhu Zhe was too soft-tempered and never had a harsh word with his younger brothers and sisters. This also made them arrogant and took it for granted that they would lie on Zhu Zhe's body, drink blood and draw marrow.
The clay figures still have three points of fire, but they are too soft-tempered, which will only increase their arrogance. Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhu Zhe's cell phone rang again. Looking at the incoming call notification, Zhu Zhe immediately cut off the call.
The phone rang again, and Zhu Zhe pinched it again. Ring again, pinch again. In the end, Zhu Zhe simply turned off his phone, out of sight and out of mind.
But he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He looked at Wang Zhong and asked with some anxiety: "Do you think this is possible?"
"Actually, you already know this in your mind. You just want to find peace of mind by asking me!" Wang Zhong looked at Zhu Zhe and said.
Zhu Zhe couldn't help being silent when he heard the words, and then said: "You are right, the matter has reached this point, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not get any worse."
"If I want Xiaojie to change his ways, I first have to make changes myself. If I just avoid it blindly, I won't be able to solve the problem." Zhu Zhe has always been smart, and she understands everything in her heart. It's just that the authorities are obsessed with it and are affected by emotions. Reason is so indecisive and passive when it comes to younger brothers and sisters.
Now Wang Zhong is just giving some advice, pointing out problems and making general suggestions. As for the details, Zhu Zhe has control over how to deal with his parents and younger siblings. At most, he often shares with Wang Zhong, hoping that Wang Zhong Opinions are only secondary, the key is to find someone to talk to so that she can have the reason and motivation to persist.
"Why can Zhu Minjie manipulate you? He just recognized that you are the eldest sister and you have always loved him. That's why he was so confident in making trouble with you because he knew that you would definitely not fall out with him." Wang Zhong's words were as if he was teasing you. The clouds were as bright as the moon, which greatly shocked Zhu Zhe's heart.
"Extraordinary things can only be dealt with with extraordinary methods!" Zhu Zhe said: "So if he is making trouble unreasonably and making jokes, then I will respond by making trouble and complaining." Wang Zhong said: "Zhu Minjie is in his twenties after all. Men, at this age, the most important thing is their face.”
"Don't talk about their young people. Even those of our age, don't they often compare themselves with each other?" Zhu Zhe shook his head and said with emotion, but as he spoke, his words stopped and he looked at With the meaningful smile on Wang Zhong's face, Zhu Zhe also had doubts on his face.
"What do you mean?" Wang Zhong said, "Actually, you already have an answer in your mind." Zhu Zhe's heart suddenly trembled, and his eyes missed Wang Zhong's.
The next day, Zhu Minjie called again. He just started to speak without even finishing a sentence, and was interrupted by Zhu Zhe's cold words: "Don't you already have me as a eldest sister in your heart? Why are you calling me?" In response to Zhu Zhe's questioning, Zhu Minjie's wishful thinking was suddenly disrupted. He had no idea that the eldest sister, who had always been gentle, considerate and soft-tempered, would one day change her face and become like this.
"Sister, I..." But before Zhu Minjie could explain, he was interrupted again by Zhu Zhe: "No, I'm not your eldest sister. I'm not worthy. I have neither money nor power, and I still owe a debt." How can I be your Zhu Minjie's eldest sister with a debt of ass!" Zhu Zhe's confession made Zhu Minjie's expression on the other end of the phone change, but Zhu Zhe did not let him go just like that.
"I started working when I was sixteen. I have no education or skills. I can only serve people, wash dishes and clean toilets. I have worked hard for so many years. I have worked diligently and worked hard without complaining. He slept on the toilet and didn't earn a penny, but he ended up with a lot of complaints and a lot of debt!"
"It's me who's stupid, it's me who's stupid. I thought that I would be relaxed after I helped you go to college. But I didn't expect that in your eyes, I'm not worthy of being your eldest sister at all. That's fine! From now on, let's go back to the bridge and go back to the road. , so many years of hard work, I just treat it like a dog, I will repay the debt I owe myself, and I, Zhu Zhe, do not deserve to take advantage of you two college students." The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, the angrier he became, and his voice became louder and louder. Big, at the end of the sentence, he almost yelled hysterically. After saying that, before Zhu Minjie could explain, he hung up the phone angrily.
Seeing Zhu Zhe jumping up and down in anger, Wang Zhong hugged him with a distressed look on his face.
"The acting skills of those who won the Academy Award, Hundred Flowers Award, Magnolia and other movies are just like this! That's it!" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Zhu Minjie called, and Zhu Zhe hurriedly followed Wang Chonghuai. He came out and made a silent movement towards Wang Zhong. He closed his eyes and brewed his emotions for a moment. Then he started again. There was already a layer of hazy mist in his beautiful black, bright and clear eyes. .

"Hey!" was filled with endless helplessness and sadness.
"Sister!" Zhu Minjie's voice had just sounded in the receiver. Zhu Zhe sniffed, sobbed in a low voice, and said tiredly: "Why are you calling here?" Zhu Minjie: "... ·”
