Bodyguard of the Goddess
Chapter 21 Humble sense of distance!
Before leaving get off work, Tang Ming released Xiao Zheng's pigeons because Boss Bai asked him to go to the gym for training. Xiao Zheng responded with a sneer: "Diaosi is doomed to die alone."
Tang Ming's shrewdness lies in observing words and demeanor, and being tactful and sophisticated. Although he is extremely aggressive with his mouth, it seems that there is no woman he can't hold down. But in fact, he is very clear about his own position. He has the guts to say that he has a secret relationship with an ordinary female employee of ENN and played a trick. But Tang Ming thought he was incapable of getting involved with the high-ranking director Lan.
A security guard is a security guard. Even with the support of the middle-level leader, Director Qian, Tang Ming would never joke about his future. Not to mention boring yourself, fantasizing about a pheasant turning into a phoenix.
This is also the biggest essential difference between Tang Ming and Xiao Zheng. Tang Ming's family is well-off, and he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he is surrounded by an aunt who has good financial strength. As long as you play steadily, you don't expect to have a big future in this life, but you won't be much worse than your peers. But if you make a mistake and capsize in the gutter, your life will be ruined. Xiao Zheng is different. He has experienced ups and downs in his life since he was a child. Countless times he was close to success, but was beaten back to his original form either actively or accidentally. In just twenty-five years, I tasted more ups and downs than ordinary people in a lifetime. Therefore, in terms of life attitude, he is more unruly than the cautious Tang Ming, and he is more open-minded when facing problems.
Perhaps this is also the main reason why Xiao Zheng has not been able to show his personal appearance so far. Otherwise, according to Lan Xin's evaluation, not to mention dominating one side, at least he must be an elite in the industry.
As a restaurant on a luxury cruise ship, Pearl One has the busiest business in summer. And during the day, the passenger flow at night is several times higher than that during the day.
Blowing the river breeze, sipping fine wine, and looking at the bright night view of the Pearl, if there are one or two graceful and luxurious beauties around you at this time, life will basically be complete.
This is the selling point of Pearl One, and it is also the reason why dignitaries like to squeeze on this expensive cruise ship.
Xiao Zheng arrived at the date place by subway. First, he took a long look at the huge cruise ship nearly 30 meters high, and was amazed: "It's like a palace on the water."
Mingzhu No. 1 has a total of eight floors. In addition to providing exquisite catering services to guests, there are entertainment facilities such as water bars, KTV, and even free acrobatic performances for guests. It is a hundred times more entertaining than many central commercial cities. . Of course, such a high-end place is naturally not something that ordinary people can consume. An entry ticket alone costs as much as one thousand, and apart from the performances provided to guests for free, most entertainment and pastimes are charged separately. Even if you go on a boat alone for fun, don't even think about walking around with dignity if you don't have eight thousand in your arms.
Seen from a distance, the Pearl No. 1 on the water is shining brightly like a palace on the water, and the joyful and unrestrained laughter floats down from the cruise ship, shaking the self-esteem of ordinary citizens under the ship like a devil.
At seven o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark. Luxury cars one after another parked in the parking area provided by Pearl One. One by one, well-dressed or elegant men and women stepped out of the luxury cars, walked towards Pearl No. 1, where ordinary people daunted, and started their luxurious nightlife.
Sitting on a stone bench, smoking and drinking mineral water, Xiao Zheng looked at the men and women who boarded Pearl One with almost indifferent eyes. There is no envy in his eyes, let alone jealousy, and he can find a numb luster in his deep eyes.
He doesn't hate the rich, let alone a man who is compassionate. He has only seen the despair and desolation in another corner of the world. While some people are dreaming and dying one boring night after another, there are still many people on the other side of the world who are trying their best to exchange for the qualification to survive tomorrow. This is life. Some people are in heaven,
More people are going to hell.
Xiao Zheng has been to hell, so he has the right to speak more than most people, so he is willing to invest all his savings in the old dean, and silently support the old dean. In the past, Xiao Zheng didn't think that the things the old dean did were so good, he even took pleasure in making the old dean angry at a certain stage of rebellion. But now, he thinks the old dean is the greatest man in the world.
Lan Xin came over at some point, and silently stared at Xiao Zheng, who was dressed in plain clothes and exuded a decadent aura. Compared with that luxurious and bright cruise ship, Xiao Zheng, who was sitting alone on a stone bench smoking a cigarette, was extremely unrestrained, as if he was out of tune with this world.
This is the man engraved in Lan Xin's bones, a man who was once high-spirited and regarded as the pride of heaven. Seven years later, he has changed. Become no longer flying, reduced to a small security guard. Live for that meager salary. His eyes are still familiar, but they are no longer clear. His face has changed more, lost the edges and corners of his youth, and is not as smooth as before, with a trace of loneliness in the roughness. It seemed that the past seven years had been devastated by life, torturing him into a loser that could be seen everywhere in society.
Lan Xin was full of thoughts, and a sense of bitterness welled up in her heart. There is pity, but more is desire. A desire to learn about his past, a desire to bring him back together. Desire——he became that proud son of heaven again, full of vigor and high spirits.
"Boss Lan."
A deep and gentle voice sounded beside her ear, which made Lan Xinfang's heart tremble slightly in shock. Raising his head, he saw Xiao Zheng looking at him with a little humility, with a faint sense of distance in his eyes.
This kind of look is very familiar, because there is always a slight sense of distance in her eyes that doesn't hurt people. This is the defensive awareness she has honed over the years in the workplace, and it is also an aura that has been in a high position for a long time. But the sense of distance in Xiao Zheng's eyes clearly has another meaning. A kind of humbleness that may satisfy people's vanity, but makes Lan Xin feel sad.
Yes. Now she is ENN's CFO, a highly regarded super strong woman. But he is a nobody, a down and out man living in a small security department, busy with three meals a day. The distance between the two is more than just a table in high school?
After regaining her senses, Lan Xin forcibly restrained the urge to recognize each other. She wanted to tell Xiao Zheng desperately that she was the one who sat in his back row and secretly put fruit milk in his drawer in high school. girl. It was the girl who would rather give up her excellent college entrance examination results and repeat her studies in order to go to the same university as him.
But she dare not. She has been in the mall for many years, she is no longer a fledgling little girl. She is ice-snow smart, wise and alert. It has its own set of rules of life. She knows that most men's self-esteem can be trampled by life, but they are never allowed to be hurt by women. That would make him restless, and even the last fig leaf would be ruthlessly crushed.
So she decided to keep it a secret. start over with him...
"Have you been here for a long time?" Lan Xin forcibly suppressed the confusion in her heart, and said with a gentle smile. "Why don't you go in and wait for me?"
Although it was an unintentional remark in a hurry, but when she said it suddenly, Lan Xin regretted it.
Go in and wait?
Of course, Lan Xin, who had a successful career, would not have any burden on the 1,000 yuan boat ticket. But what about Xiao Zheng? The money he earns a month is not even enough to open a bottle of wine on the table.
Lan Xin's delicate body tensed up, and she cautiously looked at Xiao Zheng who was likely to be stabbed, regretting endlessly.
