Chapter 408 406. Christmas Gifts (This chapter is a topic!)
Liang Bingning felt that she was quite stubborn.
Things identified, the kind that eight cows can't pull back.
It's like when she was in Huayi, everyone told her that as long as she stayed in Huayi, then she would naturally be able to secure the position of the company's first sister with her ability.
But she is not.
She doesn't want to be inferior.
I don't want to be anyone's maid.
She wants to be a master.
Let everyone look up to her!
At that time, I was just a little maid, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, although time has passed for a long time, but the persistence of "not being a maid" has been soaked to the bone.
You said that I have been a maidservant all my life?
good.
I **** insist on making it for you to see if I blinded you back then!
So she is quite stubborn sometimes.
Once she decides to do something, or thinks something is beneficial to herself, she rarely listens to other people's persuasion.
You can make her bow her head, but you must not make her admit defeat.
And at this moment, if other people said this to herself, she might superficially agree. What kind of excuses such as "Yes, yes, you are right", "Wow, you are Wei Guangzheng", etc., but silently labeled the other party as a "brain-dead".
Even if I encounter them in the future, I will hide far away.
What kind of honest person are you pretending to be with me here?
The taxes paid in total are not your own money?
Speaking so aboveboard.
Fake or not?
But...at this moment, after hearing Xu Xin's words, this kind of thought couldn't come out in the slightest.
Even, she particularly agrees with the other party's point of view... That is, there are not many people in front of her, but there are many people behind her who want her to die quickly.
Compared with the object to be surpassed, the person staring at this position behind her is truly endless.
A feeling called being attacked in the stomach and back came out all at once.
She... knows about Mr. Xu's situation.
Maybe you don’t know everything, but you know more or less.
also admits...Xu Xin has a strong color of Mr. Xu.
normal.
Father and son.
So subconsciously, when Xu Xin said this, she was thinking... what if Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu has the same view on this matter?
Doesn't he care about money?
In the final analysis, isn’t it all about money?
I don’t want to pay so much, and I have reasonable means of tax avoidance, so I did this.
You don’t feel bad about money, it’s because your family has it.
But my money is a little bit of my hard earned money.
Liang Bingning especially wanted to use this reason to prevaricate herself, and ignored Xu Xin's words... But that intuition reminded her all the time:
"What people say is right, there is nothing wrong."
This annoys her a bit.
Fortunately, Xu Xin did not continue to chat on this topic, but turned to Yang Mi and said:
"Sister Bingbing also reminded us that our people must pay attention to this aspect in the future. We won't stop anyone who wants to die. But our own people have to be optimistic and don't dare to mess around."
On the one hand, these words are to point Liang Bingning, and on the other hand, they are also an explanation to his wife.
Yang Mi nodded:
"Understood. Don't worry, I won't fool around with what my dad told me. This kind of trade-off problem, it is impossible to lose the big because of the small."
Liang Bingning's heart skipped a beat again...
…
Dinner, Liang Bingning ate here.
But I didn’t continue to talk about the previous topic, but picked up the biography of Zhen Huan, and some advertising endorsements and so on.
By the way, Yang Mi asked her whether she would go to the Peak Night concert tomorrow.
But Liang Bingning has something to do.
Tomorrow is a Christmas dinner held by Bulgari in Yanjing.
She is present as the boss and an invited guest.
Naturally, he couldn't come.
She is Liang Bingning.
As long as she wants, there are so many business activities that she can't finish it.
And a meal lasted until early 9 o'clock in the evening, she got up and said goodbye.
Xu Xin was not sleepy at all because he just woke up, so he took Yang Mi to go for a stroll.
After all, today is Christmas Eve.
The current night life of the two of them is a bit too peaceful, and there is no such thing as bar KTV socializing, he is a bit idle.
As a result, Yang Mi didn't buy it at all, and walked around here with him twice at most.
So, after throwing the child to their parents, the two of them held hands, led Zaizai and Niu Niu out and started walking.
German shepherds are actually not very common on the streets of Yanjing.
After all, this dog cannot be kept by citizens under normal circumstances.
Even if the two dogs are retired dogs, during the day, Yang Mi pays attention to the influence and walks to places with few people as much as possible.
Even the leash straps are bought with vests with "retired military authority" to prevent people who are interested in coming to ask, or the city management can catch them when they pass by.
One person and one dog walk on the street, and there are no neighbors on the road after nine o'clock in winter.
The two of them let the two dogs sniff and sniff like patrolling the territory.
Especially Zaizai, Xu Xin is very careful when he smells other people's tires, it's not appropriate if he gets some dog urine.
"I felt awkward seeing Sister Bingbing today... I had to call Aunt Liang several times."
"..."
Hearing this, the corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
I thought you were making things difficult for me?
Yang Mi smiled, and after pulling up her mask, she said:
"Do you think Sister Bingbing will listen to us?"
"The tax thing?"
"Um."
"have no idea."
Shaking his head sincerely, he pulled Zaizai away from the tire of a car and said:
"Anyway, I'll just say it once. What she does is her choice... If she insists on playing like this, we can't say anything. But it's true that she won't be the same person in the future~"
Looking at the busy traffic on the road, his tone was neither salty nor weak:
“We have no right to decide anyone’s life choices. We just need to fulfill our obligations. How to do it is someone else’s business.”
"Even if it's Aunt Liang?"
"Yes... you are sick!"
Xu Xin who nodded subconsciously was speechless again.
Why does this **** keep making things difficult for others?
I will smoke you when I get home!
"Hee hee~"
Yang Mi smiled and shrugged:
"Anyway, I don't have any pressure in my heart. Uncle Xu suffers by himself..."
"I'm still suffering! That's my dad... Can you do me a favor, old man?"
Thinking of how the old man would walk into the house holding Liang Bingning's hand in the future, his goosebumps grew.
no.
This picture is too beautiful, he dare not look at it.
Afraid of vomiting...
"Besides, my dad has had a vasectomy. Doesn't it mean that she doesn't want a child?"
"The ligation can also be reopened. It's just a minor operation~"
"Your uncle! Just make me feel uncomfortable tonight, right?!"
"Hey Hey…"
Seeing that her husband started swearing, Yang Mi knew that the joke had almost ended here.
but…
"Has our dad talked to you about this matter?"
"Continuation?"
"right."
"I said it... My impression seems to be that I went to junior high school."
Xu Xin thought for a while and said:
"At that time, the family's situation had completely improved, and it was a very stable one. Then... our father was quite popular, and many people asked our father to find another one so that we could have children while we were young."
"Then what?"
"Then? Then the old man went to have a vasectomy. After the vasectomy, here..."
He pointed to the location of the abdomen:
"It will be very painful, I just remember that he didn't dare to bend down, so he sat on the sofa, stretched his legs, and said to Sanshui and me: Don't worry, Dad has no other plans, don't be afraid~"
"What did you say?"
"I was in the rebellious period, what do you think? I felt that my father's sterilization was a matter of course. I was born by my mother, not someone else, and it was impossible for me to allow my father to have children with other women ..."
As if talking about memories, Xu Xin also pulled off his mask and lit a cigarette for himself.
The smoke is blown out with the cold air in a big cloud.
It is full of childishness and distress that were once inexperienced:
"But now you want me to choose... Even, I'm not afraid to tell you. Even if he wants to have one, two, or even three, five, ten with Liang Bingning, I don't care. On the one hand, I know that I love him... "
"The other side..."
"The shares are all with me and Sanshui, I'm afraid of a hammer!"
"Hey~~~~~"
Hearing what her husband said, Yang Mi looked disgusted:
"The previous words are quite generous, and they are touching. Why are the latter words so scheming~"
"Ha~"
Xu Xin smiled and said:
"That's all I said. It's like what I said to you just now... I was born to my mother, but the child born to my father is not my brother?"
"So...you don't care?"
"Yes. It really doesn't matter... I also think my dad deserves a better life. Especially after marrying you, this feeling is stronger... Just playing with little girls and girls, it's really quite It's boring. You have to be on guard against her in everything, you have to hide from her when you talk to others, and you even have to be careful about what she draws from you. It's really lonely~"
The couple chatted, and there was nothing difficult to say.
Xu Xin actually has this attitude towards the old man now.
"And... I actually hurt Xu Miao once."
Since the conversation has reached this point, he simply said all the things he did when he was not sensible:
"At the beginning, the old man met someone... I forget who it was from. Anyway, it was not from Inner Mongolia, but...an aunt from Shanxi. The aunt was very beautiful, really...not worse than a celebrity at all. I remember that she was very tall, and then... The kind of smile that is very, very gentle... For so many years, she is the only one who can give me the feeling of seeing her smile, just like seeing my mother laughing."
"Well, what then?"
"The aunt's surname is Sun, and I still remember it...the first time I saw her, she greeted me with a smile...and cooked a table of dishes. The smell of the food when I entered the house felt special. Very good! When I came back, Xu Miao was already sitting at the dining table. I had never seen that kind of smile before. Do you understand what I mean? It was that kind of... just put your eyes on Aunt Sun. Don't open that kind!"
"Hmm... did you quarrel with our dad?"
"Hmm. Ugh..."
Xu Xin let out a long sigh.
A trace of self-blame gradually appeared in his eyes:
"I panicked at the time... I really panicked. Because at that time, the old man brought girls who were not serious at first glance. It was the first time he brought someone around his age. When Auntie comes home...it feels completely wrong all of a sudden."
"What have you been doing?"
"I didn't do anything... I just hid. I said I don't want to eat. I'm a bastard, so it's impossible not to give the old man some face?"
"What does that have to do with Brother Sanshui?"
"Listen to me...Aren't I going back to my room? I'll just go back to my room..."
Speaking of this, he paused...
Then he said:
"I hugged my mother's picture and started crying. I thought that the old man... really didn't want me. Because when the old man finds a woman, I have always been the least sensible one in the family. Xu Miao is older than me, and he... is older than me Accept it quickly. Don’t parents like sensible children... I thought that the old man must lead him to start a family, so I really don’t want me...
Then... After crying for a few minutes, Xu Miao entered the room. To take me down to eat. I will definitely not go, I remember the psychological activities at that time very clearly, I thought that you will be a family in the future, who are you pitiful there! "
"..."
"I just scolded him... It was awkward at first, and I couldn't talk about it. He kept saying how delicious the noodles made by Aunt Sun were, how delicious they were, and so on. Let me take a bite, and then go down and take a bite... Anyway, The ink was on for a long time, and I became angry, so I scolded him..."
"What are you scolding?"
"I said... hiss~~~~hoo..."
Taking another puff of the cigarette butt, he threw the **** into the trash can on the side of the road. Xu Xin, who took a puff of cigarette, shook his head:
"I said: Xu Miao, you are calling a thief your father..."
"..."
"Later, I found out that the wording was wrong, and I scolded him for thinking of a **** as a mother..."
"..."
Under Yang Mi's speechless eyes for a moment, Xu Xin smiled wryly:
"Now you know why I said I'm a bastard?...Thinking about it now, these words are not human."
"That…"
"He cried too. That was the first time I cried with anger at him...but he didn't hit me. He never hit me since he was a child. Even if I made him angry every time, he just... cried by himself Later, on my 18th birthday, we both drank some wine, and he told me: Sanjin, I promised our mother that you are my younger brother, and I will protect you. But now you are an adult, not a child. What mistakes are you going to make in the future, I will beat you to death..."
"But I think Brother Sanshui takes special care of you now. Every time our family eats together, he always asks you to drink less..."
Xu Xin shook his head, his eyes were full of memories of the family of three walking all the way.
"So you see, no matter what our dad does, whether it's giving Sanshui the shares, letting him and his sister-in-law control the financial power, etc... I don't have any bullshit.
That is my brother, he is the one who loves me the most.
And... I was really not a thing when I was a child... It is actually the same today. As for what you said just now, will you call Aunt Liang in the future... Let me put it here for you, as long as the old man brings someone over, she will be Aunt Liang from now on. Because I don't want to make the old man sad anymore. "
"I don't care."
Seeing his resoluteness, Yang Mi shrugged casually:
"I'm actually more transparent about this matter than you think. As long as our father is happy, it's okay to say something bad...Even if Brother Sanshui and his sister-in-law have children in the future, they want to take a little bit of our family's property and so on. I don’t have any objections to taking over the past. What’s at home belongs to the family, and what’s ours is our own. You don’t need to be so burdened with your thoughts...I’m not here for your money to stay with you.”
"That's not the case. Sanshui and sister-in-law are not like that~"
"I know, I just want to remind you..."
"..."
Xu Xin was not talking.
Just took his wife's hand.
Two people, two dogs, strolling on the street which is almost 10 o'clock at night, still full of traffic.
drifting away in the cold wind.
…
25th, Christmas.
Early in the morning, Xu Xin received a Christmas gift prepared by his wife.
A box of pens.
Actually, it was quite difficult to choose a gift for Xu Xin.
Because he is a well-known synonym for "low desire" among people in this circle.
He is not interested in luxury cars, famous watches, or souvenirs.
In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, Yang Mi is also taking care of it.
It is difficult to give a gift that is particularly thoughtful no matter the amount of money.
Because he felt that he lacked nothing.
There is no desire to spend money.
But Yang Mi put her heart into this gift.
The pen she gave was not the ordinary one, but the tipped hero pen that cost 3 yuan each when Xu Xin and her first started learning pen calligraphy when they were young.
Inspired by a couple's night talk on a certain day.
Let’s talk about how to use pens to tease others. For example, the rubber tube used to store ink in Hero brand pens can be used as a squirt gun, and then there is an ink mark on someone’s face when you flick it…
Xu Xin mumbled, "It seems that the old pen is no longer available, and that pen is the most comfortable to use..."
He mentioned it casually, but Yang Mi got him a box directly.
And look at the packaging... at least ten years.
Xu Xin was really happy.
Compared with his wife, his gift is a bit perfunctory.
An emerald necklace.
At Christie’s in Hong Kong, I asked a middleman to take the photo on behalf of me.
Not much money, less than fifteen million.
In terms of money, 10,000 boxes of pens are not as good as this necklace.
It can be regarded as a matter of heart...just a remote control, and the necklace that Jay Chou brought over by the way seems to be a piece of cake.
But Yang Mi is also quite happy.
Because she is white.
The chest is still big.
The diamond-encrusted emerald just hangs on the career line.
Looking tempting... very good-looking.
The two elders also got gifts bought by Yang Mi in the name of Xu Xin.
Yang Dalin is a Rolex watch.
Mom is a set of La Mer cosmetics.
And the "four" little ones in the family were not left behind.
Zaizai and Niuniu had enough beef tendons today, and Nuannuan and Yangyang got a little doll.
A Mickey Mouse, a Donald Duck.
As for the gifts that Yang Mi prepared for people in the company like Sun Ting, they were more honest.
are all red envelopes.
The smallest share is also two thousand.
The biggest one is Sun Ting.
Tingting caught one of the three **** of paper that Yang Mi gave perfunctorily.
The result is "double the year-end bonus".
Yang Mi will not tell her that the rewards of the three paper **** are actually the same...
Because she really couldn't figure out how to buy a gift for her assistant.
The festive atmosphere of Christmas lasted from morning to afternoon.
After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the couple went directly to the bird's nest.
There are no special Christmas gifts among friends.
Anyway, Xu Xin didn't buy it.
Not only did he not buy it, he saw Wang Sicong picking up his phone in the waiting room, and he reached out directly:
"Merry Christmas... Where are the presents?"
Who knew that the eldest and young master would not like this:
"Your gift is outside, the Bentley I drive. Where's mine?"
Although he didn't know if it was true or not, Xu Xin took off his Patek Philippe watch from his wrist:
"No, I'm afraid the metal strap is too cold, so I'll keep you warm."
Wang Sicong sneered:
"You think I'm a fool? You're showing that it was the time when Deng Ziqi was abducted. You and the wheel bought the couple's model! I've seen you carry it for several years!"
Xu Xin is not to be outdone:
"Your Bentley hasn't been driven for a long time, and you are afraid of burning oil, so you came to slip the car today, right? It was my idea to let you choose the hot one!"
"..."
"..."
The two stared at each other for a while...
"Tie?"
Hearing what Wang Sicong said, Xu Xin nodded:
"Concession."
Take a look, the world is getting worse, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
But it is not without good people.
Lang Lang, who came in with Gong Xinliang, saw the two of them coming, and took out two aluminum cylinders from his handbag with a smile:
"Hey, Lao Xu, Lao Wang, here is a Christmas present."
Xu Xin took it and took a look...
have to.
Cigars.
"Only one?"
"I smoked the rest, and I planned to give it to you as a Christmas gift. But this time I didn't get any national gifts, and the stock was running out, so I opened it. Hey, this stuff is delicious for making smoked whiskey .You two will make do with each other~ what, Merry Christmas."
"..."
"..."
Not knowing why, Xu Xin felt that he might as well not give it.
Is this a Christmas present?
Doesn’t this bury people? !
Wang Sicong was still asking stupidly:
"What did you get for the wheels?"
"I didn't prepare anything. The cigars are all smoked, and the last two... originally three, smoked one at home last night... If he asks later, I will say that he is preparing an album recently and is not suitable for smoking cigars. For his For the sake of my throat, I won't give him a Christmas present."
Under Gong Xinliang's dumbfounded expression...the three gentlemen looked at each other...
Lang Lang stretched out his hand in Yang Mi's helpless but unsurprising gaze:
"Where's my Christmas present?"
Then…
Wang Sicong handed over the Bentley key.
Xu Xin took off the watch on his wrist.
"..."
Lang Lang took a look...
Eyes full of disgust:
"Hey~~~~~~"
"well…"
Yang Mi sighed, and took out a small box from her bag:
"MIUMIU~Here, Merry Christmas."
Gong Xinliang, who was stunned by the three people, turned his head and quickly thanked:
"Uh...thank you Miss Mi!"
"Hey, no, I don't know if you like it or not... It's a lucky pendant from Harry Winston~"
"I definitely like it, how could you not like the gift from Sister Mi..."
Gong Xinliang was pleasantly surprised.
But eyes full of guilt immediately:
"Sorry, Miss Mi...I didn't prepare a Christmas present for you..."
"No need, hehe..."
Yang Mi began to maintain the relationship with Lang Lang's girlfriend in the circle.
Now it's Lang Lang's turn to be embarrassed.
"This... Da Mi, you didn't say it earlier..."
He touched his pocket in embarrassment, and looked left and right...
"Well...do you smoke cigars?"
"Get out of here!"
Wang Sicong pushed him wordlessly, then handed the Bentley key to Yang Mi:
"Big Honey, Merry Christmas."
"..."
"..."
Under the speechless gazes of Lang Lang and Yang Mi, Xu Xin couldn't help but nodded and muttered:
"It still has to be you..."
A moment.
After the rehearsal, Jay Chou walked into the waiting room:
"Eh? Here we come~"
Seeing that all his friends are here, he has a smile on his face:
"Merry Christmas~"
"Don't make it useless, what about the gift?"
Hearing Lang Lang's words, Jay Chou didn't seem surprised at all, but used a kind of...
how to say.
It was like "I really worked hard to prepare, and I gave you a surprise", and said to everyone:
"My gift is to sing a song for you when I get on stage~ In front of many audiences and fans, I wish you all the best! How are you, am I good!?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became "cold".
It’s okay if everyone is not familiar with it.
We are so familiar, do you think we can't hear your perfunctory?
And Jay Chou also seemed to feel that this was a bit bad, so he quickly changed the topic after a haha:
"Hey, where is my gift? Have you prepared anything for me?"
Then…
Xu Xin picked up the table.
Wang Sicong handed over the car keys.
Lang Lang snatched the cigar cartridge from Xu Xin.
"..."
Under the eyes of Yang Mi who couldn't hold back her laughter, Jay Chou looked at these three "Christmas gifts" speechlessly...
After being quiet for a few seconds, the four of them showed disgusted expressions at the same time:
"Hey~~~~~~~"
December 25.
Merry Christmas.
Fourteen thousand, resume update! There is also a special chapter on the topic. Hope you all like it~
