"Hello?"
On the phone, Jiujiu's voice was as pleasant as ever, but there was no eagerness and intimacy in it. If one listened carefully, one could hear the obvious alienation.
However, Cheng Jing wanted to ask Jiujiu to help change the result of her dismissal, so she didn't hear the alienation in Jiujiu's voice.
Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I could have picked you up at the airport."
Jiujiu put the phone on speaker and said while putting on makeup, "You didn't reply to my messages."
Yesterday, Cheng Jing and Li Run had sex for most of the day. It was already afternoon when she saw Jiujiu's message.
And she was fired. She wanted to figure out why she was fired, so she didn't have time to reply to Jiujiu's message.
What's more, when she called Jiujiu, Jiujiu hung up on her. She was angry and didn't want to talk to Jiujiu.
If she didn't really want to keep this job, she wouldn't have called Jiujiu.
Cheng Jing didn't know that Jiujiu didn't go home directly but went to the company yesterday. She smiled stiffly and said, "I was busy yesterday, so I didn't see you."
"Busy with work?" Jiujiu stopped drawing her eyebrows and laughed. "But Li Tezhu said that you didn't go to the company yesterday. Could it be that you took on a private job? "
Cheng Jing bit her lip angrily and changed the subject when Jiujiu saw through her lie. "Did you go to the company yesterday? “
I need to talk to my dad about something. "Jiujiu asked," What can I do for you? "
Cheng Jing didn't expect Jiujiu to be so direct. After a pause, she seized the opportunity and said, "Yesterday, the HR Department sent me a message saying that I was fired. Can you help me?"
"How can I help you?"
"If I'm fired, I won't be able to find a job. Can you change it so that I leave voluntarily?" Cheng Jing wanted to say that he didn't want to fire her, but when the words came to her mouth, she thought of Li Run's sweet words and promises.
Since she could still work in the Li Family's company after leaving the Nan Family's company, and with Li Run's relationship, her work in the Li Family's company would only be more comfortable. She didn't want to continue to stay in the Nan Family's company. Instead, she began to want to leave.
However, even with Li Run's help, it was not good to have a reputation of being dismissed. Cheng Jing still hoped that her resume would look better.
"This matter only requires a word from me. I can help you."
Hearing that Jiujiu could help her, Cheng Jing showed a happy expression.
But before she could rejoice, Jiujiu continued, "But I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Cheng Jing thought that she had heard wrongly and was stunned. "You, what did you say?"
She, she wasn't willing to help him?
Was all the love she had for him in the past fake?
Thinking of how submissive she used to be in front of Jiujiu, Cheng Jing couldn't help but go crazy.
But even if she was furious, Cheng Jing still knew very well that she had to beg Jiujiu. She could only hold back her anger and said, "Jiujiu, aren't we friends? Shouldn't friends help each other? "
Hearing Cheng Jing's words, Jiujiu instantly let out a muffled laugh.
Jiujiu's voice was very pleasant. Even if she was laughing, it didn't sound harsh.
But Jiujiu's laugh was too strange. Cheng Jing always felt that Jiujiu's laughter was very sudden, as if she had discovered something.
Thinking of her unspoken relationship with Li Run, Cheng Jing felt very guilty. She couldn't help but say, "Jiujiu, don't you want to recognize me as a friend?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly. "You're my best friend. How can I not recognize you?"
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she continued, "Could it be that you don't want to admit that I'm your best friend?"
Cheng Jing quickly denied it. "No, how could it be? It's just that you don't want to help me this time."
Jiujiu put down her lipstick and sighed faintly. "Jing, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really have my difficulties. Do you know how much loss your small mistake caused to the company last time?
It's not tens of thousands or millions, but tens of millions? "
Feeling Cheng Jing's heavy breathing, Jiujiu said slowly, "You almost caused the company to lose tens of millions. If it weren't for me, my father would definitely take you to court.
I know you're unhappy about being fired, but it's better than being confronted in court, right? "
Cheng Jing, who was originally dissatisfied, didn't dare to speak again after hearing Jiujiu say tens of millions.
She didn't dare to make other requests, for fear that Jiujiu would pursue her dereliction of duty.
Feeling Cheng Jing's instant fear, Jiujiu didn't want to continue talking nonsense with her. She said, "I have something to do." Then she directly cut off the contact between the two.
Jiujiu had told Xiao Wan yesterday that she would go to her maternal grandparents' house.
If Nan Dahai's family was rich, then Xiao Wan's family was a serious scholarly family.
Xiao Wan's parents were both doctorates from Qing University. Although they were old, they were still active in the academic field. Xiao Wan graduated from Peking University's Department of Archaeology and was now committed to the country's archaeological research work.
On the contrary, the richest Nan Dahai was the least worth mentioning among a group of scholars.
Xiao Wan's parents were busy with work when they were young, and Xiao Wan was the only pearl in their palm. Xiao Wan responded to the national policy and Nan Dahai's only child was Jiujiu. No matter where she went, she was the treasure of the two elders.
As soon as they saw Jiujiu come back, the two elders of the Xiao Family, who were usually serious, suddenly smiled. They pulled Jiujiu's arm and touched Jiujiu's face. They said with a smile, "You've lost weight. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
If Jiujiu hadn't been admitted to Harvard with a full scholarship, they wouldn't have been willing to let her go abroad to study.
Now that she was back, they naturally couldn't let her go.
The two elders of the Xiao Family took Jiujiu's hand and talked for a while.
Jiujiu answered all of them obediently. But when she heard about her marriage with Li Run, Jiujiu said with a smile, "I'm still young. I just want to take over my father's work and let my father and mother go out to play for a few years. I don't think about love at the moment."
Although Jiujiu was precocious compared to ordinary people, everyone knew Li Run's thoughts.
In the past, every time the two elders of the Xiao Family asked about love, Jiujiu would smile and say that she was waiting for Li Run. Now she suddenly said that she didn't think about it for the time being. Obviously, her relationship with Li Run had changed.
The two elders of the Xiao Family looked at each other and instantly knew.
However, because Jiujiu was here, they couldn't ask directly, so they found an excuse to let Jiujiu wash the grapes. The two elders looked at Jiujiu and asked, "What's going on between Jiujiu and Li Run? Didn't you say that you were going to get married last time? Why did Jiujiu say that she didn't think about it again? "
