Standing on the stage, I realized that the looks from the audience were not strange, there was no disapproval, and certainly no contempt, but pure admiration.
Appreciate?
After working at the workbench for a long time, I gradually forgot the pressure from being with my parents, but I am timid at heart. Add to that the work factors and the fact that I don’t interact with people, and I am becoming more and more afraid to communicate with people face to face.
She envied her sister-in-law's personality and understood the purpose of her bringing her here.
Not only to make up the numbers, but also for herself.
She mustered up her courage and stepped onto the stage, inspired by the spirit of her sister-in-law and younger generations.
Even when you are older, you still need to let your light shine.
…
The fashion show was a complete success, and Shuhui opened up the fashion market in the upper class circle.
There is no shortage of Hong Kong and foreign products on the market now, but custom-made ones are unique and can fully show off your figure and temperament.
Once the market for Beijing wives opened up, the first generation of wealthy businessmen followed suit. So Shuhui had no shortage of business and became increasingly busy, returning to the island only for a few days each year, comparable to Qiao Yu in the past.
The little goldfish is also busy.
After graduation, she rushed to various front lines. While her elders at home were terrified, she realized her childhood dream and considered herself a modern heroine!
…
In the 1990s, a trivial incident occurred that is not worth mentioning.
It was an old friend who contacted her and sought her help.
This man was the shopping mall manager she had worked with when she was on the island with the army.
Manager Shang had a son who was having trouble with everything and could not get a promotion. Later he found out that he had offended someone. The son did not want to tell Manager Shang at first, after all, Manager Shang was already old, and even his grandson was affected.
The business manager had retired a long time ago, and even if he hadn't retired, he wouldn't have had that much power. Then I remembered the contact information Qiao Yu had left many years ago.
This note was placed in a metal box with some gold and silver jewelry and other valuables. The note is a bit yellowed and old, but the phone number on it is clear, but I don't know if I can dial it.
Of course.
The old man's clothes and other items were burned, but the telephone, the phonograph that always played music, and the only living livestock, the goose, were preserved.
Qiao Yu answered the phone and when he heard the business manager's voice, he recalled those not-so-pleasant memories.
Qiao Yu: "Okay, I'll send you a letter of recommendation, and you can use your own power to persuade people."
The business manager seemed to remember the past jokes and was embarrassed for a moment. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
The business manager held the home microphone and sighed.
Revenge! This kid is still the same as he was back then!
The business manager stretched his muscles and thought to himself, I am already old, why do I still have to run around for my family and grandchildren?
——This family will break up without me!
With nothing to do, Qiao Yu sat by the phone for a few days before he received a call from someone.
"Hello, is this Ms. Qiao?"
What good is a letter of introduction? It has no stamp, so it certainly cannot prove her identity.
What she was waiting for was naturally the person among the business managers who dared to call her and ask for benefits.
He left his phone number on the letter, but no one called Manager Shang. After all, he hadn't had any contact with Beijing for so many years. His family had offended someone, and suddenly there was something to say?
There are still brave people.
Only after Qiao Yu gave the other party benefits did the latter let the business manager go.
As for the business manager himself, what did he lose?
Just like Qiao Yu did back then, just take a few more turns and that's it.
The business manager reacted and said: This vengeful girl! This vengeful girl!
Originally, it was just a small grudge between the two of them, harmless, and the contact between them rekindled their former feelings. But the son of the business manager went online and called to complain about Qiao Yu.
"Director Qiao, I know you are in a high position and look down on ordinary people like us, but as a son, I still have to say a few more words. My father is old, and you can solve the problem with just a few words, but you made him run several times to ask for help..."
Qiao Yu interrupted: "So?"
"So...so..." The business manager's son was speechless for a moment.
Qiao Yu: "Everyone uses mobile phones nowadays. Who still uses landlines? I have kept this landline until now, and it has realized its value."
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
The manager's son was stuck for a long time, and when he called again, the number was no longer in service.
Manager Shang later learned about this incident and finally understood how his son had offended others.
You can't see your own situation clearly! How dare you shout at the superior?!
Even his father has to laugh at him, but he goes and scolds others!
The one connection that could have been used to contact Mr. Pang was cut off by his brain-dead son!
The business manager used to love playing pranks on people, and he would play pranks on the younger generation, and they were harmless pranks. In the end, he got what he wanted without offending anyone and retaining the favor.
But his son was so bad! He asked someone for help, and after that person helped him solve the problem, he actually questioned that person!
He took off his shoes and smashed them on his son's face!
You idiot! What's the point of keeping you! You fool! You have no brains! The only ladder to climb up was cut by this idiot!
…
Qiao Yu didn't take this little thing to heart. These were long-forgotten memories and characters, and now they were simply completely cut off.
Besides, if this relationship is severed, the one who suffers the most is the other party, and she will not be affected at all.
Afterwards, I forgot about it.
Millennium, Year of the Dragon.
Zhou's mother is ninety-three years old.
Qiao Yu An stayed with Zhou's mother for several years and found that the old lady was really kind-hearted. She didn't care about anything and didn't care about anything. Even though she was injured when she was young, she was able to live so long under the care of the century-old medicine in Qiao Yu's space.
I started using a wheelchair six months ago.
She thought this person would be the first to pass away in the family, but unexpectedly, while she was sitting at home, she received the news that her eldest brother Zhang Zhan had passed away.
The little goldfish has rushed to the scene of the incident.
The charity project has reached the south, and what Zhang Zhan encountered this time was a mudslide.
The little goldfish only brought back Zhang Zhan's body.
Looking at the white hair and smiling old face, Qiao Yu was silent for a long time, then said to the little goldfish, "Bury him in the ancestral cemetery."
"Mom...are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Qiao Yu waved his hands, "By the way, stay away from your great-grandmother's grave and leave some space for me and your second uncle to move out."
The little goldfish lost his voice and said, "Mom——"
"I'm going to take a nap. I don't know why I'm so sleepy today. Please keep an eye on your grandma and don't make any trouble."
"Mom..."
Mom...
Even though the little goldfish was calling behind him, Qiao Yu didn't turn his head.
She dreamed of her eldest brother's expression before he died, which was one of relief and joy.
But why would she have regrets?
Why is there a gap in my heart?
That bastard, how many illegitimate daughters and children did he have in these years? Fortunately, the policy was relaxed later, otherwise he would have been shot long ago!
The gunman didn't get shot, but was washed away by the mudslide?
The little goldfish said that he had a chance to survive by holding on to the driftwood, but he gave this opportunity to a woman.
Qiao Yu didn't even have the energy to scold him.
Dust returns to dust, dust returns to dust; all prosperity is nothing more than a handful of fine sand.
