Chapter 571 Extra
Cai Ting didn't expect that Marco didn't even confess his feelings to her seriously, but just said that he wanted to visit her hometown.
She asked him what he wanted to see in her hometown, and he said he wanted to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Cai Ting blushed and asked him, "Who are your father-in-law and mother-in-law? You never pursued me, and I never agreed to it."
"I'm with you every day. I didn't explain the rumors about us spreading around the company. I even went to the market with you and met clients with you. What do you think I'm doing?" Marco looked at her incredulously. "In my mind, we've both gotten over the adjustment period, and you're still playing dumb with me?"
"When did I ever pretend to be stupid?" Cai Ting was even more incredulous. "I didn't even agree to be in a relationship with you, so what's the point of a break-in period?"
"Then let me ask you, are you willing?" Marco asked her directly, "I originally thought we didn't have to go through all these procedures. You know I hate clichés. I hope we can be different."
"Then I'm telling you, I don't want to!" Cai Ting got angry and turned away. "If you think it's cliché, then you might as well not get married and become a monk. Marriage itself is cliché."
"Hey, you, how can you be so unreasonable?" Marco Bo chased after him. "If you have something to say, let's talk it over nicely. Your habit of walking away at the first sign of disagreement is not good. You can't live like this in the future. Besides me, who can stand your temper?"
"I didn't ask you to endure my temper. You did it on your own." Cai Ting was furious. She strode into her office and closed the door. Marco kept knocking on the door. "Open the door, and let's talk it out once and for all."
Cai Ting ignored him.
Marco Bo kept knocking on the door, attracting the colleagues passing by to come over and watch. Some of them were quick-witted and immediately told Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou had just attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the office building in the suburbs of Beijing built by Sanyuan Technology. They had been busy all day and were discussing with Ding Linyu about having all sales staff move into the office building.
The two heard that Marco and Cai Ting were arguing again. They were already used to it. Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "Let them argue. When I'm done with my work, maybe they'll stop arguing."
"They are really a pair of bickering lovers." Ding Linyu didn't care. Now Jiuzhou Millennium is focusing on developing major shopping malls in the suburbs of Beijing, and the office building is opening soon. She and Su Jiaojiao have not had a rest for a month.
And the company has been very busy during this period.
Because the more stores there are, the greater the demand for goods. Although it is not yet May Day, summer styles have already started to be launched and orders are placed until the end of the year.
These two people are still in the mood to quarrel, they are so energetic.
"If you don't have any objections, let's adjust according to this plan. We need to implement it quickly so that all stores can adjust their stock in a timely manner." Su Jiaojiao checked her phone. It was a text message from Chen Guilan asking when she would be home. She quickly replied, "Is there something going on at home? Where's Chengyi?"
"There's nothing going on at home. Cheng Yi is watching TV. I just wanted to know when you'll be back." Chen Guilan didn't call her because she was worried about disturbing her work. "I made your favorite braised pork ribs. You'd better come back early. They won't taste good if they get cold. Oh, and Xiao Lu is here to pick you up. He's on his way."
"Okay, I got it." Su Jiaojiao looked at the work plan and said to Ding Linyu, "I'll leave the specific details to you. I have to get off work early today, and my mom made me braised pork ribs."
"Auntie's braised pork ribs are the best." Ding Linyu couldn't forget it either. "When I have time, I must go and eat the braised pork ribs."
"Wang Hua knows you love braised pork ribs, so he asked my mom for the recipe. He said he'd make it for you later." Su Jiaojiao got up and filled a glass of water from the dispenser. "The house is ready, and it's time for you to get married."
"Wang Hua and I have discussed it and we will get married after the New Year." Ding Linyu smiled.
The next day, after Su Jiaojiao went to work, she received two text messages asking for leave, one from Marco Bo and the other from Cai Ting. Both of them said that they were not feeling well and would not go to work.
Cai Ting said that if she had any problems, she should look for Marco Bo.
Marco Bo said that if he had any problems, he could find Cai Ting, and that all his information was with Cai Ting anyway.
You can tell at a glance that they are not together and they have taken their own leave.
Su Jiaojiao was speechless. She called both of them separately and asked them to come to her office.
Cai Ting arrived first. She was already in her room on the fourth floor and hadn't gone out. It took her less than three minutes to get from the fourth floor to the second floor.
Marco Bo has never had a sense of time. He said he was having breakfast outside and would not be back to the company for an hour.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Jiaojiao chatted with Cai Ting. Although she was in the company every day these days, she didn't have time to chat with Cai Ting. She basically came here to deal with some company matters, and then went out with Ding Linyu to discuss business and visit the store.
Su Jiaojiao wants to get the store matters settled as soon as possible, and then increase publicity efforts to further enhance the brand image of Jiuzhou Millennium.
"I'm sorry, Jiaojiao. You're so busy, and I'm making you worry about me." Cai Ting felt embarrassed. "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to calm down. I told Wang Xiaoyu to call me if there's anything in the workshop."
"I know you haven't stopped for the past two years, but some things have to be faced when they need to be." Su Jiaojiao is an experienced person after all, and she knew what was going on as soon as she saw the text messages between the two. "We work to make a living, but if life is not going well, work will lose its motivation. You and Marco have been together for so many years, and we have seen it all. So, I'll give you a month of annual leave, so you can go out and relax."
"No need, it's really nothing." Cai Ting had completely calmed down. "The company is very busy right now, so how can I take a vacation? I will handle the matter between him and me. You don't have to worry about it. I'll go to work now."
"The company will be very busy in the next two years." Su Jiaojiao looked at Cai Ting seriously, "Cai Ting, I'm serious with you. I'm not kidding. You're not a child anymore. It's time to think about your own affairs."
"Look, President Su said the same thing, and you're the only one playing dumb and avoiding the issue." Marco pushed the door open and walked in, saying to Cai Ting seriously, "I was wrong yesterday. I'll make up for it, but we still have to take this annual leave."
As he said that, he looked at Su Jiaojiao again, and Su Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay."
"So, let's go to your house tomorrow, and then to my house," Marco said solemnly to Cai Ting. "That way, almost a month will have passed."
"On behalf of Jiao County, I welcome you." Su Jiaojiao understood, stood up, patted Cai Ting's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'll have the finance department advance your salary and bonus. Come back and take a look!"
Cai Ting also has a good impression of Marco Bo.
It’s just because they quarrel every day and seem a little out of tune, but Su Jiaojiao still knows Cai Ting.
The next day, Cai Ting packed up and returned to Jiao County with Marco. As soon as they left, they started arguing again. Marco suggested taking a plane, saying it was faster. Cai Ting insisted on taking the train, saying, "I always take the train when I go back home. I've never been on a plane, and I don't want to. If you don't like it, you don't have to go."
"Let's take the train." Marco didn't insist. They didn't speak during the whole journey. Marco bought her a drink as if to please her. "Okay, I was wrong before. Don't do this. Otherwise, your family will think I'm bullying you."
"You've always been bullying me." Cai Ting's eyes instantly turned red. "You've always been so stubborn and never considered anyone's opinion, including mine. You say you're unconventional, but what girl doesn't like being proposed to and being valued..."
She still can't forget the scene when Lu Jingyou proposed to Su Jiaojiao at the lakeside villa. At that time, she thought, how nice it would be if there was someone who cared about her so much, even if that person had nothing.
Besides, she knew what it was like for a man to be nice to a woman. For example, Lu Jingyou treated Su Jiaojiao. She had never seen a man treat a woman so well. Whether before or after marriage, he was always doting on her and it never changed.
"I thought you and I were unique and didn't need these things." Marco felt that the way men expressed their love to women was all the same and not worth imitating.
And he was very disdainful, but he didn't expect Cai Ting to like it.
"Just because you don't need it doesn't mean I don't need it either." Cai Ting has always been inferior in her heart, but she treats Marco Bo very differently. She and Marco Bo have been arguing since they met, and they speak without restraint.
In the past two years, because of her quarrels with Marco Bo, she has also developed very good eloquence, so that she can no longer pretend to be a lady in front of Marco Bo.
In fact, neither of them had ever pretended in front of each other. They had been getting along with each other as their true selves from the beginning. There was no emotional involvement before, so they felt that they understood each other.
Now that it comes to love, Marco is still the same, but Cai Ting has changed and become worried and anxious.
But she felt uncomfortable holding it in, so she told him straight out: "If you think I don't deserve this, then there's no need for you to come home with me."
"Since you need me, I'm certainly willing to do it." Marco looked at her without hesitation. "If you have any requests in the future, just tell me. These are all negotiable."
"Not everything needs my consent. It depends on whether you are willing to put in the effort for me." Cai Ting couldn't understand Marco's thoughts and wanted to chop his head open with a knife to see. Does proposing marriage also require discussing it with her and getting her consent?
She is not a very pretentious person.
But she was dissatisfied with Marco's way of expressing his love. How could he pursue a girl by directly saying that he wanted to visit his parents-in-law?
After two days of bumpy journey, the two finally arrived at Caijiazhuang.
Caijiazhuang is a small mountain village. It is not big, with only about a hundred households. Cai Ting only comes back once during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone in the village knew that Cai Ting worked in the capital and earned a lot of money every year. She built a big house for her family and bought a tractor and a van. Her life was getting better and better.
Now, it wasn't a holiday, but Cai Ting suddenly brought back a young man dressed in fashionable clothes, which immediately caused an uproar.
Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon it spread throughout the village.
Men, women, young and old in the village flocked into the alley, peeking over to see the young man Cai Ting brought back.
Fortunately, Marco was thick-skinned and not afraid of people's gazes. He stood at the gate, distributed cigarettes, and chatted with the villagers.
Cai Ting's parents were very satisfied with Marco Bo because they thought he was a city guy who dressed very fashionably and brought them a lot of gifts. They thought his family must be rich and would not treat their daughter badly in the future.
In the future, I will also be able to help Cai Ting support their family and Cai Ting’s younger brother.
After two days, Marco became familiar with Cai Ting's parents. He almost always met the couple's requests and agreed to whatever they said.
He agreed to everything, such as helping Cai Ting's brother find a job or finding a partner.
Cai Ting was unhappy instead. In front of Marco Bo, she told her parents that her brother had grown up and should do his own things. He should not rely on her anymore, let alone Marco Bo.
Cai Ting's mother was very upset when she heard this: "You are the older sister. If you don't care about him, who will? We worked so hard to raise you. Even if we don't have any credit for you, we have worked hard. Why don't you care about your brother's affairs?"
"Mom, I dropped out of school at sixteen and have been working ever since. I gave all my earnings to you. First, I paid for my brother's education, but he wasn't up to the task. He started dating right after high school and didn't study hard, so he didn't even get into college. Now that he's having trouble finding a job, you're counting on me..." Cai Ting burst into tears. "I bought our house and car, which one of them wasn't bought by me? Why should he quit his job the moment it didn't go his way, then sit around doing nothing and rely on me to send him money every month to support him?"
"Sister, it only cost you a few bucks!" Cai Wei was very unhappy when he heard Cai Ting say that. "You don't know how tiring my shift is. It's from 8am to 8pm every day, and I only have one day off on weekends. It's so tiring, and I only make 500 yuan. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to bear it either."
"Huh, what kind of work isn't tiring?" Cai Ting sneered. "Do you think I'm not tired? We have to work all night when shipping goods. Even our CEO Su often works until midnight. Your eight to eight is nothing."
"Because you're used to it!" Cai Wei didn't realize his mistake at all. Instead, he said confidently, "Besides, your salary isn't 500, it's 3,000. If your boss offered you 500, you definitely wouldn't do it."
"Whether I earn 500 or 3,000, it's all earned through hard work. Why should I give it to you?" Cai Ting became angry when she heard this. "Since you're so unmotivated, I won't continue to give to you. I won't send you money anymore. You have hands and feet, so go earn your own money."
"Tingting, I worked so hard to raise you, but I never thought you'd end up being such an ungrateful person." Cai Ting's mother was furious when she heard that Cai Ting would stop sending money home. "Now that you're capable, you look down on your parents and your brother. If we had known this would happen, why would we have let you go to the capital? We should have married you off sooner, closer to us, so you wouldn't have to worry so much..."
"Mom and Dad, did you give birth to me just so I could take care of you and support you?" Cai Ting felt even more disappointed. "Am I really your biological daughter?"
"Sister, if coming back makes mom and dad angry, then don't come back." Cai Wei got even angrier. "We are a small family and can't accommodate you."
"Let's go, we're leaving now." Marco Bo couldn't stand it any longer. He packed his things, dragged his suitcase, and took Cai Ting with him. "I'm sorry, I didn't know your family was in such a state. We're never coming back."
"Why do you want to take my sister away?" Cai Wei was angry and became even more angry when he saw Marco Bo. He refused to let him take Cai Ting away.
"Just because I'm your sister's boyfriend, I'm going to take her away." Marcobo wasn't afraid of Cai Wei at all. He took out his phone and warned him, "If you dare to stop me, I'll call the police. Just try it if you don't believe me."
When Cai Wei heard the police were called, he immediately became timid.
"We're all family, so let's talk it out." Cai Ting's mother softened her tone and said with a smile, "They've been like this since they were little, noisy and noisy. They'll be fine after two or three days."
"Now that Tingting has me, things will be different." Marco said firmly, "You all need to be polite to her, otherwise, you will not be welcome in our home."
"Sister, I was wrong." Cai Wei apologized immediately.
Cai Ting felt aggrieved and refused to accept the argument, so she packed her bags with Marco and returned to the capital that day.
On the way, she showed a rare tenderness, snuggling up to Marco and saying, "After all these years, I finally told them what was really in my heart. Although I'm angry, I feel relieved."
"They are your family after all. From now on, we will help those who should be helped, and we must not help those who shouldn't be helped." Marco Bo knew what was going on with Cai Ting's family. "They are just used to your sacrifices, so they don't feel sorry for you. But it doesn't matter. I will feel sorry for you from now on."
"Thank you." Cai Ting felt her heart suddenly calm down. "Actually, I don't really need my parents to feel sorry for me. I just hope they can understand me instead of blindly asking me to support my brother. I am also their child..."
"I know, I understand!" Marco held her hand. "I'll be with you through this from now on. Don't worry. I won't let anyone bully you. You have to trust me."
"I believe you." Cai Ting suddenly felt that the proposal ceremony was not important. What was important was that he understood her.
