As usual, when Xiao Zheng was not home, there would always be a lamp left on in the living room for him. It was just that it used to be the biggest chandelier, but after a friendly reminder from Xiao Zheng, Lin Huayin changed it to a small lamp.
When he returned home, he carried the fruit salad that Lin Huayin had prepared in advance upstairs. Before he entered the room, he heard the clicking sound of a keyboard coming from inside the room. It seemed that he had brought his work home again.
Creak.
Xiao Zheng gently pushed open the door and saw that Lin Huayin was sitting at her desk, focused on her work. He could not help but walk over with a smile, forked a piece of pineapple, and sent it to Lin Huayin's lips. "The sour taste can refresh you."
Lin Huayin, who was working, did not refuse. She opened her red lips and ate the pineapple. She pursed her lips and said, "It's settled?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng sat on the massage chair and slowly ate the fruit salad, sighing. "Money is really a good thing."
At certain times, Xiao Zheng would always associate money with vulgarity. But step by step, he walked to where he was today, and there were very few times when money was not involved. Including when he wandered overseas, it was just to earn more money to help the old director support the orphanage.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Zheng was indifferent and did not have a high pursuit of material things. In addition, he had finished high school, and he yearned for the unyielding ancient people who did not bow down for money described in Chinese and history books. Deep in his heart, Xiao Zheng was still a very noble person.
At least he did not care about money.
But time and time again, it was proven that, whether it was to establish a foothold in this society, or to make a career and be respected. Even taking care of family and friends could not do without money.
Money itself was a kind of currency. It was not only linked to greed and vulgarity. In more cases, money was a kind of circulation, something that people relied on for survival. Just like air, who could say that longing for fresh air, hoping that every breath was pure and harmless, was a kind of expression of greed?
Then why was it a noble sentiment for people to pursue a green environment? As for the pursuit of money, it had become greed and shallowness?
In the process of rapid economic development, in the process of the rapid expansion of the gap between the rich and the poor, there will always be countless people who hate the rich, pasting labels such as "the rich are heartless", "treacherous", "greedy", "ugly", and so on on the forehead of the rich. Those who go with the flow will also quickly draw closer, demonizing money, a thing that itself has no harm, and darkening the rich who have money.
As he experienced more, Xiao Zheng gradually realized a problem. As long as he didn't violate the moral bottom line and didn't commit crimes, and the money he earned was clean and legal, then he didn't need to feel any burden.
Who said that only the poor could be virtuous? Who said that the rich couldn't climb mountains and run rivers?
Lin Huayin cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Zheng and lightly said, "Why are you suddenly sighing?"
Xiao Zheng smiled as he stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth. "In the past, I always felt that you worked too hard and didn't even want to take a break to earn money. Now, although I still don't agree with your attitude towards life, but from another perspective, at least it proves that you are more forward-looking and have more perseverance than me. "
The most ridiculous thing was that although Lin Huayin worked hard, she was not a person who enjoyed life. She usually had three simple meals a day, and she didn't have any excessive requirements for clothing, food, housing, and transportation. She lived even more destitute than a mother-in-law. The pressure was even greater.
"Your attitude towards work is also not bad now." Lin Huayin said.
This was the truth. It was also Lin Huayin's true feelings.
When he had first joined New Austria, Xiao Zheng had basically maintained a lazy state of "three days fishing and two days drying nets". Now, although he was still not as hardworking as Lin Huayin, he had also stayed up all night and sacrificed many holidays for work. Wasn't it all for work?
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't praise me. I'm not a person who can withstand compliments. I'll become arrogant. "
"If you do well, praise. If you do poorly, criticize. "Lin Huayin said concisely.
"Don't be so rigid. Relax, don't be too tense. "Xiao Zheng finished the fruit salad on the plate and stood up. "Are you hungry? Do you want a bowl of noodles? "
When Lin Huayin, who was busy all day and night, heard this, she also felt a little hungry. She stood up and said, "Let me do it."
After sitting for a long time, getting up to do some housework to relax the tight waist was good for the body. Lin Huayin sympathized with Xiao Zheng's recent mental stress, and she did do a lot of work. So she volunteered.
Xiao Zheng didn't refuse and followed Lin Huayin downstairs. He turned on the 42-inch LCD TV in the dining room and switched to the financial channel. While helping Lin Huayin wash the vegetables, he asked, "Old Lin, 500 million a year. Five hundred million a year, won't you feel a lot of pressure? "
"I should be asking you that." Lin Huayin said lightly.
She had more shares than Xiao Zheng, so the year-end bonus was naturally more. In addition, she only had to pay 200 million a year, which was much better than Xiao Zheng who had nothing left.
"I don't have to worry." Xiao Zheng smiled. "Anyway, I'm in Capital now. When I get tired of the company cafeteria, I'll go to Little Ma and the others to eat together. These guys live a much better life than me. They don't have many days to eat at home all year round. It's really extravagant. "
Lin Huayin cooked the noodles and fried two poached eggs. Then, she asked Xiao Zheng to bring the noodles to the dining room and made a cold dish before returning to the dining room.
The two of them sat facing each other as they ate a simple and elegant supper. Even though they weren't like a couple that quarreled with each other from time to time, the wisp of tranquility and tranquility that suffused the dining hall caused the two of them to enjoy it extremely.
While eating the light noodles, Xiao Zheng raised his head and looked at Lin Huayin. "Old Lin, our Xin Ao's business scope is expanding, and the projects are getting bigger and bigger. Now, not only our overseas department maintains high profits every year, but the newly established entertainment department is also growing rapidly. I estimate that in another three to five years, we will be one of the top companies in the country. Have you thought about when you will retire? "
Lin Huayin, who was leisurely eating her noodles, paused. She slowly looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"I'm just curious — —" Xiao Zheng smiled. "You can't work all your life, right?"
"I'm not even 30 yet." Lin Huayin said bluntly.
"You're not young anymore!" Xiao Zheng said seriously. "If this happened in the countryside, people would say that your stomach is not living up to expectations and that there's something wrong with your body!"
Lin Huayin was a smart person. She immediately understood what Xiao Zheng was implying. She gently ate a mouthful of noodles and said lightly, "Men are infertile, women are not."
Xiao Zheng was excited when he heard that.
Is she hinting at me?
Hinting that I can show off my masculinity?
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said calmly, "I can prove it."
"You have already proved it." Lin Huayin slightly lowered her eyebrows and a complicated expression flashed across her face.
If it wasn't for that embarrassing moment when they fell from the sky, how could the two of them get to where they are today?
A wisp of a strange expression flashed between Xiao Zheng's brows as he instantly realized that Lin Huayin had misunderstood and misunderstood his meaning. He couldn't help but have mischievous thoughts as he slowly said, "Old Lin, what I proved all those years ago wasn't infertility, but impotence. The difference between the two is very big. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
