Chapter 12
Chapter 12
The summer nights are not so hot, the evening breeze blows and the city lights are bustling. The transportation in City S is very convenient, and within half an hour, Jiang Xiangdi returned to the rented community.
At this time, the community is full of residents walking, especially the elderly and children.Jiang Xiangdi deliberately avoided the dog-walking crowd and walked along the road from the amusement park, but was rushed by a child halfway, hugged his leg and called Dad, but later found out that he had made a mistake.
The kid looked fair, tender and cute, and when he found out that he had made a mistake, he cried, crying, and the parents were busy coaxing the kid, and even apologized to Jiang Xiangdi by the way.Jiang Xiangdi stood for a while, feeling that he might not be able to help, so he walked away.
He really doesn't have much contact with children, and the identity of the illegitimate child is too embarrassing and invisible, almost no relatives are willing to associate with him and his mother, so he has no contact with relatives and relatives' children.
After Jiang Xiangdi went back, he went straight to take a shower.
The water supply in this community is a bit slow at night, and the bathrooms are also small. The specifications and comfort are far inferior to the elegant small bungalows on the bay.
But Jiang Xiangdi was used to living in the dormitory when he was in junior high school, so he could quickly adapt to any environment.
Seeing Jin Bei today made him a little surprised. Wanshang Fenghua is far away from the company, and Jin Bei usually would not come back.
Jiang Xiangdi thought about it, and felt that it was better to move out sooner.
It should have been cut clean.
There will be no further contact in the future.
Coming out after washing, Jiang Xiangdi noticed a missed call from his grandmother on the phone.
Because of Jiang Xiangdi's birth, the Jiang family didn't recognize him at first, and his mother was not responsible, so they threw him into the orphanage. Only his grandparents felt pity for this grandson and often took him in for a period of time.
It's just that the two old people are old, and his grandfather was often sick at that time, unable to raise a child.Later, Jiang Xiangdi's grandfather passed away, leaving his grandmother to live alone. Fortunately, there are familiar neighbors who take care of each other.
Jiang Xiangdi called back, and it took two calls to get through.
Grandma is still in good health, but she speaks slowly: "Xiaodi, why haven't you visited me for several months, come to eat when you have time."
The old man still likes the younger generation. Jiang Xiangdi visits the old man once a month. He said, "Grandma, I came here for dinner last month, don't you remember?"
Grandma is easy to forget things, and her ears are not very good: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Xiangdi was not angry, and explained to the old man in a raised voice. Grandma didn't know if she understood, so she changed the subject directly: "You come to eat, don't forget to bring your partner."
Jiang Xiangdi: "Grandma, I don't have a partner."
Grandma: "What? Is your partner free? It's okay. Come when you're free in two days."
Jiang Xiangdi: "..."
The two chatted on the same channel for a while, then hung up, Jiang Xiangdi got up and went to the kitchen to make something to eat, he was a little hungry.
He has always felt strange these two days. Sometimes he has a bad appetite, and sometimes he feels hungry again.
Staying in the office will feel that the air conditioner is very cold, but when he suddenly comes out of the office after work, the heat wave outside can almost melt him, and he will feel dizzy and nauseous every time he returns home from get off work.
Jiang Xiangdi changed his mind and thought about it again. In summer, his appetite is easy to lose, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is huge, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable, so he didn't care.
After Jiang Xiangdi left, Jin Bei went upstairs to handle company affairs.He used to be cold and cold, like a robot, but now when he was dealing with official business, he always thought of Jiang Xiangdi's alienation and indifference when talking to him.
The Jiang Xiangdi in his memory always smiled obediently and softly when he saw him, his eyebrows and eyes were bent down, his expression was focused and gentle.
It shouldn't be like that just now.
Jin Bei couldn't figure it out, and when he went to sleep at night, he always felt that his hands were empty and something was missing.
The Fenghua house on Wanshang represented Jiang Xiangdi in his memory, and when he was gone suddenly, he would subconsciously feel strange.
Jin Bei didn't sleep well all night, and missed the company's morning meeting for the first time.
Deng Yun was facing a big problem in his career, and couldn't bear the inquiries of a bunch of big shareholders in the company, so he was sweating profusely.
Jin Bei also had a male assistant named Yang Hao, who was his confidant and trusted him very much, but because Jin Bei couldn't go overseas to expand his business in person, he sent Yang Hao there.
None of the shareholders of the Jin Group are vegetarians. Although Jin Bei has secured the position of president in the past three years and has uncovered several old foxes who are unfavorable to him, his position is not unshakable.
There are still people spying secretly, waiting to pull him down and completely bring down the behemoth of the Jin family.
"Mr. Jin hasn't come here for a long time. Where did he go?" One of the shareholders, Fan Zheng, interrupted Deng Yun several times and said, "It's too much to leave us alone. At least tell us about the situation." right?"
Deng Yun's face turned pale, she could not be tough, she could only delay, at this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a tall and handsome man walked in.
"What are you arguing about? It's like this."
His first sentence didn't seem too serious, and he was amiable. Jin Bei walked to his seat, looked around the table, and his voice became completely cold, "Why, do you think something happened to me?"
His eyes were sharp, and when he pursed his lips without smiling, the line of his lips was cold and hard, and his breath was gloomy and full of murderous intent, which made people keep silent.
This is the posture and aura that Jin Bei has cultivated over the years. His back is straight, his chin is slightly raised and his eyes are lowered. , a person with a lot of experience and an evil heart.
With him around, Deng Yun and other subordinates felt that their backs were much straighter.
At that moment just now, Deng Yun had never felt that her boss was so tall and friendly. Although she worked like a tireless robot, it was better than those selfish, insidious and cunning old foxes.
Someone whispered, "Boss Jin, I don't mean that."
"If not, why are you in such a hurry?"
After Jin Bei was done scaring, he gave everyone the next step. He pulled out his chair and sat down, with a relaxed tone, "It's embarrassing for a group of young people outside to see you old seniors chattering non-stop."
No one was bothered to answer, Jin Bei was already able to deal with this kind of scene with ease, he leaned back on the chair calmly, but his aura still controlled the audience: "Then don't waste time, let's start. "
The next day, Jiang Xiangdi brought a drawing with him to work, and went to see Cao Qingshan during his lunch break.
He took the initiative to shake hands with the person and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
Cao Qingshan couldn't be angry with such a polite and well-behaved boy. He took the sketch with both hands, which showed respect and appreciation in the art circle. He squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally opened his eyes slightly: "Very good."
People are pleasing to the eye, and the paintings are also pleasing to the eye. Cao Qingshan felt that he had found a treasure.
Electronic screens will ignore certain details, but paper will not.Jiang Xiangdi's rainbow after the rain compared with Xiaofeng's stone forest, in the eyes of others, they all think it looks good, but Cao Qingshan can see the aura in Jiang Xiangdi's painting.
It's not about time and energy, it's about talent and skill.
"You must join our Art Association." Cao Qingshan took the painting carefully, "Don't think that we are all poor in art, it is different now, modern people are pursuing the richness and perfection of the spiritual world. As long as you listen to me Yes, I promise, there is a broad road in front of you."
"I have a job now, and I have been working for three years." Jiang Xiangdi understood what he meant, and his tone was rather Buddhist, "If you need this painting, I can give it to you."
Cao Qingshan knew very well in his heart that he could not give up on him, so he hurriedly said: "You are still young, it is not too late to change jobs. When you are free, I will take you to our Artists Association to have a look!"
Jiang Xiangdi finally returned to the magazine office with a helpless face.
After graduation, his first choice was not art, but a magazine. First, the job in the magazine was stable and easy. Second, he had some unknown resistance to painting.
He already felt deeply powerless after Pu Wangzhi's death. Art was brought into contact with him by Pu Wangzhi. He couldn't get out of the shadow, immersed in the shadow, so he couldn't carry out good creation.
It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to get off work.
Everyone in the company left slowly, only Jin Bei was still sitting in the conference room, checking all the affairs of the day bit by bit.He always does it himself and makes every effort to make sure nothing goes wrong.
He seemed to have some headaches, and he kept pressing his temples with his hands.
Deng Yun came over to deliver the documents and asked, "Do I need to call your doctor?"
Jin Bei said, "It's okay, you can get off work."
Suffering from headaches and missing morning meetings, assistant Deng Yun never imagined that there would be such an unexpected situation in the mechanical and rigid life of their president.
Deng Yun didn't know about Jin Bei and Jiang Xiangdi's divorce. Only Meng Chuan and Jin Bei's lawyers knew about the signing of the contract. Let nature take its course.
Because of the headache, Jin Bei took a short break midway. He originally wanted to pour a cup of coffee, but when he remembered that Jiang Xiangdi used to remind him that coffee was not good for his stomach, he poured a cup of water and came back, closing his eyes and resting his mind.
His headaches and stomach pains were left over from his studies. Jin Weicheng only taught him how to become strong, but no one taught him how to take care of himself. In retrospect, it was all because of his ignorance.
Coupled with the accumulation of pressure, it is easy to relapse and it is difficult to treat.
When the headache was the worst, Jin Bei would have to take painkillers. When Jiang Xiangdi found out about his painkillers for the first time, his face turned pale and his eyes showed fear.
Seems very nervous and worried about his illness.
So Jiang Xiangdi specially learned a set of massage techniques for him. Before the massage, he would soak and wash it with warm water.
He would sit on a chair in the study room at home and close his eyes to rest, while Jiang Xiangdi would stand behind him and give him a massage.
The fingers with moist heat are soft and dexterous.Jin Bei liked his hands very much, and he couldn't help clasping them on the bed, watching his hands turn white because of his powerless resistance.
Jiang Xiangdi is also very good at coaxing people, can coax him to eat well, hugs him like a small stove, and will not get angry no matter how bullied.He is also very good at cooking, and he can heal his stomach into obedience.
Thinking of this, Jin Bei opened his eyes and opened the phone address book. He and Jiang Xiangdi hadn't contacted each other by phone for a long time, and their chat box was squeezed to the bottom.
Jin Bei reached out and clicked on the other person's profile picture. Jiang Xiangdi's profile picture was a cloud, and his nickname was the last word of his name. It was full of old people's colors, and he didn't even post much on Moments. After setting it up for three days, it was visible, but it was blank.
Jin Bei didn't even know if he had any close friends, or whether he was interested in fun.
When checking Jiang Xiangdi's information, he only checked his family background, personality, school, etc., but did not check his social circle.
Jin Bei will only give Jiang Xiangdi a large sum of money every month, which is quite simple and rude, and Jin Bei will not spend time picking gifts, but in his impression, Jiang Xiangdi does not have high material requirements, and the clothes are also cheap clothing.
He knew too little about Jiang Xiangdi.In the past three years, Jin Bei has devoted all his energy to the company, just like Jin Weicheng's goal of training him to become a tireless and emotionless robot who rarely pays attention to a single person.
Just as he was thinking, the phone rang, and it was Ye Zang calling.
Ye Zang is a friend he met when he was studying abroad. He is a rich second generation. He loves to play since he was a child.
Although he is still not very smart, he is decent, he does not mess around or make trouble, and he has a little hobby of collecting.
"Old Jin, are you off work?"
Ye Zang has a lively personality. It seems that he is in a bar or a KTV, and the background music is loud.
Jin Bei frowned: "Speak up if you have something to say."
Jin Bei is usually indifferent to everyone, and Ye Zang is no exception as a friend. He is used to Jin Bei talking like this, and said: "You are too miserable, brother. You inherited the family business at a young age. Your family's burden is so heavy. After being carried down by you for more than three years, I finally figured it out..."
Jin Bei: "Hung up the phone."
"Don't, don't!" Ye Zang found a place with a quieter voice, "I'm out to play, I heard that Yao Jin came to find you after he came back?"
Others don't know, but Ye Zang, as Jin Bei's friend who studied abroad in the past, is very clear: "I also heard that he regretted it very much, and he still wants to redeem it."
"Yes." Jin Bei recalled that Yao Jin had indeed stopped him after he had finished talking that day, and his expression was very regretful. If Ye Zang hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten it.
"My brother, be sober, he was the one who loved vanity and decided to abandon you first, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance, you know?" Ye Zang yelled at him.
Jin Bei was distracted, and hummed lightly.
It seems like a long time has passed, Jin Bei didn't remember what happened at that time.
But his thoughts just now were not pulled back by Ye Zang, following his wandering thoughts, he remembered that everyone said that Jiang Xiangdi was Yao Jin's stand-in, but in fact the two were completely different.
Yao Jin has a meek personality and a timid personality. In fact, she has a bit of low self-esteem.But Jiang Xiangdi is not. Most of the time, he is quiet and introverted, clear and cold. Sometimes, his eyes are gentle, or there are sharpness and enthusiasm in his eyes. The temperature is almost scorching, as if it can burn people.
Yao Jin's background is not good, and Jiang Xiangdi's background is even more difficult, but it seems that he has been held in the palm of his hand, and he has cultivated a little arrogance, strength of character, and a high-spirited look in his bones.
Ye Zang said for a long time that there was no response, and asked, "Where is the person? Why didn't you answer?"
Jin Bei: "I'm thinking."
Ye Zang: "What do you want?"
The author has something to say: Thinking of Jiang Xiangdi
